Chapter 11: The ancients really didn't lie to me

Everybody obviously didn't expect it.

Li Jiaci actually managed to say such a thing, and everyone was stunned on the spot.

"Especially you!"

Li Jiaci pointed at Wang Lan's nose and said, "You like her so much, just go with her."

"Brother, I..."

Wang Lan lowered her head, feeling wronged.

And without waiting for Li Jiaci to say anything.

Li Qinglan pulled Wang Lan behind her, pursed her lips, and said to Li Jiaci, "This is my fault; if you want to hit or scold, aim at me. Xiao Lan is just a child—why blame him?"

Upon hearing that.

Wang Lan looked at her with eyes full of gratitude.

But Li Jiaci was so angry at the scene that he laughed.

The behavior she initially used to show off in front of the brothers now looks like lifting a stone only to drop it on her own foot.

"Li Qinglan!"

"I'm just saving face for you."

"I also hope you can keep what little dignity you have left."

Li Jiaci said, "Otherwise we'll really tear our faces apart, and it won't benefit either of us."

Li Qinglan is his girlfriend.

She betrayed them, so Li Jiaci naturally bears responsibility as well.

He didn't want the brothers to know this, for fear they would turn against him.

And Li Qinglan obviously saw that as well, which is why she dared to come find him without restraint.

But if Li Qinglan continues to pester.

Even if the brothers would turn against him, for the sake of their lives he would have to reveal those matters.

Li Qinglan and Li Jiaci exchanged a glance.

Obviously she also saw his resolve.

Li Qinglan pursed her lips, then turned to Wang Lan and also addressed the whole crowd: "This is between us, it has nothing to do with you; get along well with your elder brother, don't throw tantrums."

"The sister-in-law has left."

"Wait until I have time later to come see you again."

After saying that, Li Qinglan sucked her nose as if she had suffered a great injustice, then walked out of the room.

Looking at her back, no matter how you look at it, it seems forlorn.

The crowd's gaze at Li Jiaci also carried a hint of complexity.

Li Jiaci furrowed his brows and told the crowd, "I still say the same thing: whoever thinks this sister-in-law is good can go change elder brothers."

"Brother, don't say that."

"How could we possibly change elder brothers?"

Li Yihu exhaled, then asked, "By the way, brother, how did your thing go just now? Is anyone willing to help us take out Zhao Pangzi?"

"Hmm."

Li Jiaci nodded and said, "At most in these few days he'll make a move; Zhao Pangzi is not far from death."

According to his understanding of Wang Zhen.

Zhao Pangzi will surely die miserably, especially miserably.

Even more miserable than in their previous life when they dismembered Zhao Pangzi into eight pieces.

Upon hearing his words.

Li Yihu also showed his joy openly.

"Great!"

"Finally someone is helping us clean up that old bastard."

"But, brother..."

Li Yihu paused, eyes full of doubt, and asked, "Who did you find to help?"

"Wang Zhen!"

Before Li Jiaci could even speak.

Zhao Chen promptly blurted out Wang Zhen's name.

"Who?"

Upon hearing Wang Zhen's name.

Li Yihu got excited and jumped up directly.

"Did you go look for Wang Zhen?"

"Holy shit! We just smashed his place earlier, didn't we? He didn't give you trouble, did he?"

"What do you think?"

Li Jiaci tilted his head and asked.

Looking at him, he really doesn't look injured.

Li Yihu couldn't help but ask, "Then why is he helping us take out Zhao Pangzi?"

"Because..."

Li Jiaci said, "He sold the powder to Wang Zhen's sister, Wang Yingna."

"Ah?"

On the faces of several people present, a big "confused" character was written.

Li Jiaci continued explaining: "Wang Zhen is smart and ruthless; in just a few short years he went from a small construction foreman to skyrocketing success, becoming the boss of a construction company and even opening a dance hall. Although he dabbles in gambling and prostitution, he alone never touches drugs. Do you know why?"

Why?

Because Wang Zhen's father died after being blackmailed and killed while going to buy drugs for his mother, and his mother later died in a detox center.

And after gaining power, he set a rule for himself: no one is allowed to sell drugs in his establishments, and everyone had previously tacitly observed this rule.

But later, Wang Zhen handed over all his entertainment venues to his sister to manage, and everyone began to get restless.

And Zhao Pangzi is obviously the smartest among them, yet also the most foolish.

I don't know what method he used, but he actually got Wang Yingna addicted to drugs, and then, relying on that connection, he started selling this stuff in Wang Zhen's factory.

As for Wang Zhen, since he had already given all the dance halls to Wang Yingna, and she deliberately concealed it, he never knew about these things.

By the time Wang Zhen found out, it was already too late; Wang Yingna had become a complete drug addict.

Because Wang Yingna wouldn't say anything on her end, and Zhao Pangzi covered his tracks cleanly, Wang Zhen never managed to investigate him.

Having heard Li Jiaci's words.

Several people present exchanged glances.

Wang Lan spoke up: "Will Wang Zhen really kill Zhao Pangzi?"

Needless to say.

Zhang Chuqiang said: "Who in the circle doesn't know? Wang Zhen treasures his sister like something held aloft, fearing to drop it, or held in the mouth, fearing it to melt. Zhao Pangzi harmed his sister like this—how could Wang Zhen possibly not kill him?"

But my older brother.

How did you know about this?

Zhang Chuqiang curiously asked: "According to what you say, shouldn't Zhao Pangzi have kept this matter very secret?"

Exactly!

Several others also looked at Li Jiaci, puzzled.

Li Jiaci felt a bit embarrassed.

These things were all told to him by Wang Zhen personally in his previous life.

But he couldn't just tell his brothers straight out that he was reborn, could he?

Li Jiaci forced a relaxed smile at the few of them: "When you're out and about, who doesn't have a few friends?"

These things were told to me by a friend of mine.

His intention at the time was to have me go to Zhao Pangzi to extort some money, or simply tell Wang Zhen about this in exchange for some benefit.

But before I could find an opportunity, that bastard Zhao Pangzi moved against our brother Zhang.

Li Jiaci said: "Yesterday I thought it over all night, and this is the only viable method: it can get Zhao Pangzi killed while also keeping us from attracting the hat's attention."

Having heard Li Jiaci say that.

Several people present also showed expressions of sudden realization.

So that's how it is.

Wang Lan paused, then said: "Brother, what about your friend? He got nothing out of it, won't he come looking for trouble?"

Several people around also turned their gazes to Li Jiaci's face, showing concern.

Seeing this scene.

Li Jiaci secretly sighed in his heart.

Having told one lie, one must use countless lies to cover it up; the ancients never deceived me.
