You listen well: I don't need you to teach me how to do things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Liu Zhenxing said to this person again: \"Go find Yang Yun for me. Tell him I have important matters to discuss with him. If he doesn't come, tell him the truth: I want to discuss dealing with the Li family with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Sister Shuang helped me, I had been doing quite well these past two days; no one else came to cause trouble, and Zhang Yinuo’s health had recovered. However, I didn't go over when she was discharged from the hospital. Third Brother and Old Five both urged me to, but I still didn't intend to go. I didn't want to add any more trouble to Zhang Yinuo’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, people from the Liu family came to find me, saying they wanted to talk about dealing with the Li family. Since Third Brother and the others weren't around, I decided to go see for myself. I figured the Liu family wouldn't be stupid enough to try and capture me again; it was possible they really did want to deal with the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I followed the Liu family’s man to Liu Zhenxing’s place. Seeing me arrive, Liu Zhenxing hurried over and said with a smile: \"Yang Yun, I didn't expect you to actually come. I thought you wouldn't!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew Liu Zhenxing said this purely to provoke me, to stir up my anger. This confirmed my suspicion about why he wanted to see me; it seemed he already knew about the Li family matter. Liu Hong’s death was basically confirmed to be the work of the Li family; otherwise, Liu Zhenxing wouldn't be looking for me so late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remained expressionless and said very calmly to Liu Zhenxing: \"Of course I would come. Master Liu, I wonder what business you have with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhenxing was clearly surprised by my reaction, but he immediately praised me in his heart and said: \"Young Master Yang really has courage. Since you’ve come, I’ll be direct: I’ve come to discuss dealing with the Li family with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded and said: \"I wonder how you plan to deal with the Li family, and how do you need me to cooperate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Straightforward. Talking to you is straightforward. Yang Yun, actually, I’ve always had a question: are you cooperating with the authorities?\" Liu Zhenxing looked into my eyes as if trying to see some clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this question, I hesitated. I wasn't sure if Liu Zhenxing was a good person or a bad one. If I told him about my relationship with the authorities, I didn't know if it would cause unnecessary trouble, so I simply pretended not to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing me hesitate and remain silent, Liu Zhenxing smiled and said: \"Since you don't want to say, then I won't ask!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s continue with the next topic. I’ve roughly thought about the matter of dealing with the Li family. You have Huang Laohu and Wu Di in your hands, right? They are perfect for dealing with the Li family’s underworld forces. As for business matters, my Liu family will also contribute. If their underworld forces make a move, I assume you can handle it, right?\" Liu Zhenxing continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Liu Zhenxing’s words, I cursed him in my heart. This guy was asking me to do the work while he watched from the sidelines, right? As for \"contributing\" on the business side, who knows if he really would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing my expression, Liu Zhenxing knew I was dissatisfied with this, so he quickly said to me: \"Young Master Yang, don't worry. If the Li family makes a move against you, I definitely won't stand by. After all, the Li family harmed my son; I have a blood feud with them that cannot coexist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sneered. Who knows what kind of person Liu Zhenxing is? What is a \"blood feud\" to people like them in the upper-class families where interests come first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, out of courtesy, I replied: \"Hmm, alright. Since Master Liu says so, then it’s settled. I will make a move in two days. At that time, I ask Master Liu to take care of things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing my words, Liu Zhenxing nodded happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had been wanting to make a move against the Li family myself because they had been acting low-key lately. If I struck first and forced them to make a mistake, then the authorities would have a chance to seal them off, and the Li family would be wiped out. However, this was also very dangerous. It would be fine if Liu Zhenxing really helped, but if he was just putting on a show, it would be difficult to handle. Still, I couldn't pin all my hopes on the Liu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I happened to find Huang Laohu and Wu Di and told them about the plan to deal with the Li family. However, Huang Laohu’s expression was very bad; he clearly didn't approve. I looked at Huang Laohu and asked: \"What’s wrong, Brother Hu? Do you have any problems?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I think we should deliberate on this matter a bit more. The Li family is not that easy to deal with. Besides, we’ve already been suppressed to this extent; if we strike rashly, we will only sacrifice ourselves in vain. And the other side has so many experts. I suggest we wait and see for now!\" Huang Laohu said with a dark face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is precisely because we have been suppressed for so long that they certainly won't expect us to make a decision at this time. And with the Liu family supporting us, plus the Li family’s current situation, if they handle things carelessly and get targeted, the Li family will certainly not have an easy time. So they must be very cautious right now. Precisely because of this, this is the best time for us to attack!\" I said to the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I still don't agree. This matter is too important. I decide we should wait for everyone to discuss it. What about Xu Hongzhi? Does he agree too?\" Huang Laohu remained very firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mood was also very bad at this moment. I looked coldly at Huang Laohu and Wu Di and said: \"Who is the boss? This matter is settled. I decide how things go. We act tomorrow night. You two get ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, I left directly. I had always thought Huang Laohu was a very ambitious person; I didn't expect him to be so cowardly and cautious now. Perhaps he was scared by the Li family. And this guy even mentioned asking Third Brother—when did he get so close to Third Brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Laohu was in the bar at this moment, looking at Wu Di beside him, cursing angrily: \"Who does he, Yang Yun, think he is? He’s actually starting to order us around. You have to know, back then he was trembling in front of Laozi, and now he’s starting to command me? Damn it, this guy doesn't even treat his brothers as human beings. No, this can't be done this way; we have to think of a way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, stop it. Yang Yun is our boss now; we have to listen to whatever he says. And this matter isn't as bad as you imagine. After all, there’s still Sister Ling, right? And I heard Yang Yun has a good relationship with Bai Yueshuang, so things aren't as bad as you imagine!\" Wu Di advised Huang Laohu. ===== CHAPTER 178 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-11T15:09:04.179Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","59729ffafaed8f46af4886973725cfce7639b56996c39e9fe12fdbb741e08d60","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-178","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-176",227,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-warlord-cover.jpg"]
