Chapter 117: He's bigger than you everywhere

Liu Yanxi was deeply grateful.

Those words carried more weight than anything else.

"Li Jiaci."

"As for the previous matter..."

"I apologize to you on behalf of my colleague!"

Upon hearing that,

Li Jiaci froze for a moment.

He then flashed a teasing smile.

"Hah."

"I haven't lived in vain this lifetime!"

"I never expected to hear an apology from Maozi!"

Liu Yanxi had several black lines on her face, somewhat speechless: "Maozi is also a person; if he makes a mistake he gets punished, just like you!"

"Fine, since you've corrected your mistakes, I'll reluctantly forgive you!"

"..."

"Then I should still thank you, right?"

Liu Yanxi was so speechless she rolled her eyes.

The investigation went smoothly and was resolved easily in one afternoon.

Over the next few days, to show his gratitude, Li Jiaci took Xiao Cui and Jin Ailing around town.

It wasn't a wasted trip.

When the two left, Li Jiaci personally drove them to the Bian Mao Shichang market.

He then paid the agreed remuneration of 200,000.

He also taught Xiao Cui how to use a phone.

After seeing them off,

Li Jiaci returned to the Mu Cai Chang lumber yard and found a small car parked at the gate.

"Huzi, who's here?"

Li Yihu stepped forward, pointing toward the office: "It's Wang Zhen; he came to see his sister!"

"He's quite a rare visitor."

Li Jiaci went to the office.

"Brother Wang Zhen!"

Wang Zhen, sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up and smiled as he greeted him: "You little rascal, you're so busy—hauling goods and acting as a guide—if you don't get rich, it's against heaven's will!"

Hearing that, Li Jiaci pretended to be modest and waved his hand.

"Nothing of the sort!"

"I pushed the people of Bei Bang Guo into the spotlight, so I have to let them play for a few days to vent their anger!"

"If they refuse to cooperate with me, those dozens of people will end up following me and eating northwest wind!"

Wang Yingna poured Li Jiaci a cup of tea on the side.

After they sat down, she personally handed the tea to Li Jiaci, her eyes seeming to sparkle with pink bubbles, giving onlookers goosebumps.

Li Jiaci was used to it, but Wang Zhen wasn't.

Wang Zhen picked up his nearly empty teacup and asked, "What about mine?"

"Pour your own!"

Wang Yingna glanced at him.

"This difference..."

Wang Zhen, with his head down, poured himself a cup of tea.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the sofa, Wang Yingna was about to stare a hole through Li Jiaci.

"Brother Jiaci, you're really amazing!"

"Without lifting a finger, you've taken care of Zheng Degui completely!"

"I've been admiring you more and more lately!"

"I've noticed you're not only good-looking but also sharp-minded!"

"If you lived in ancient times, you'd either be an emperor or a great general!"

Wang Yingna said all that.

Hearing that, both of them got goosebumps.

Wang Zhen shot her a look and complained, "You'd better cut it out—just because you praised him a couple of times doesn't mean he'd take a liking to you!"

"Brother, you're so petty!"

"You can't stand it when I praise others!"

"No, am I petty?"

Wang Zhen pointed at his own nose.

He looked at her with an amused expression.

Li Jiaci silently sipped his tea, not joining the siblings' conversation.

Anyway, whether he participated or not, it was to his advantage; just listening was enough.

Wang Yingna put her arm around Li Jiaci's neck and nodded at Wang Zhen.

"Exactly, you're petty!"

Unlike my brother Jiaci, he's big-hearted and broad-minded!

He's bigger than you in every way!

Upon hearing this,

Wang Zhen furrowed his brow, lowered his head and took a look.

Is he bigger than him in every way?

No, wait a moment…

Wang Zhen suddenly set down his teacup and grabbed Li Jiaci's collar.

What the hell did you show my sister?

Li Jiaci smiled and said, 'Your sister knows everything about me!'

Wo ri ni ma!

Just kidding, look at how happy you are!

Li Jiaci went on teasing with another remark.

Only Wang Yingna looked bewildered, asking Wang Zhen, 'Brother, what are you two talking about? What did he show me?'

Nothing!

As a young lady, you should still be reserved.

Don't look at what you shouldn't!

Wang Zhen let go and replied awkwardly.

What is it that I shouldn't look at?

Wang Yingna narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she glanced at Li Jiaci's pants.

Then a wanton smile appeared on her face.

Where are you looking?

Li Jiaci turned sideways.

This guy is just like a female hooligan.

He's practically about to write 'I want to fuck you' on his face.

Tch, stingy!

It's fine if you don't let me look!

Sooner or later it'll all be mine!

Wang Yingna tossed her head in a tsundere manner.

What cheek do you have?

Li Jiaci finished speaking.

He then moved his body a bit farther away.

Jokes are jokes.

Wang Zhen suddenly lit a cigarette and said to Li Jiaci, 'Frankly, you did a great job this time; we should praise you if praise is due!'

Even you say that, so I must be pretty impressive!

Li Jiaci smiled.

Heh.

You're really good at using the opponent's force against them!

From now on I need to learn more from you!

If I had known there was such an easy way, I wouldn't have to fight tooth and nail every time!

Wang Zhen resumed a serious expression and said.

As the smoke cleared.

Li Jiaci saw a flash of regret cross his face.

He must have been reminded of his deceased brothers.

Li Jiaci felt the same empathy.

In his previous life, he was like a hothead; no matter who the opponent was, as soon as someone gave the word, he'd grab a weapon and fight.

While rising step by step, besides his five sworn brothers, the rest of his comrades were constantly replaced; sometimes those who were drinking and bragging together just the night before would be separated by life and death by morning.

If he hadn't learned from his past life's lessons, Li Jiaci couldn't have changed so much.

And there's Wang Zhen.

In his previous life, Wang Zhen paid a heavy price for being single-minded.

The anti-crime operation came down like thunder, but Wang Zhen still wanted to meet force with force, ultimately leading to the Song and Dance Hall being shut down, his subordinates either fleeing, being arrested, or dying.

Thinking of this, Li Jiaci lit up a cigarette.

Wang Zhen bro.

If you want to treat me as a brother, just listen to my advice!

The era of shouting 'kill!' is long gone!

We must keep up with the times and progress!

If you think my approach is good, that's great—it shows you also want to change!

Since you've thought about it, hurry up and act!

Stop messing around like this!

Wang Zhen raised his head, gazing deeply at Li Jiaci.

After a moment, he lightly nodded.

This is the advice Li Jiaci, as a brother, gave him; he must accept it, otherwise he would not be giving his brother face.

He has struggled with fierce determination for so many years.

Wang Zhen has his own way of doing things.

「Brother, just listen to Jiaci-ge; he's doing this for your own good! 」

Wang Yingna also advised at this time.

「I understand. 」

Wang Zhen gave a faint smile.
