Lin Huai sat on the bed and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Hou."
Hou Liang smiled and beamed, "Brother Huai, you're being too polite. Besides, your words carry weight in Chengbei District. This is your territory. Your commands are more effective than mine."
Lin Huai simply smiled and did not deny his statement. Even if Hou Liang did not come today, Lin Huai could still subdue Zhao Bin.
Hou Liang said, "Brother Huai, how did you get hurt so badly this time? Who would dare to hurt you in the entire Tongcheng?"
"Oh, Tongcheng is very big. There are people who want to lay their hands on me."
Shocked, Hou Liang hurriedly avowed, "It's definitely not us! My father asked me to be on friendly terms with you, and he didn't say that he would make a move on you."
"I didn't say it was you or your family." Lin Huai smiled.
"Oh." Hou Liang heaved a sigh of relief and then bellowed a
With a smile, Lin Huai mumbled, "Hey, are you kidding me? It's not funny. Your family rules the entire underworld of Tongcheng. If I want to unify Tongcheng, your grandfather will be the first person to kill me, am I right?""I'm serious," Hou Liang confided. "If you are willing to form an alliance with us and the two sides help each other from now on, our family will support you and help you achieve your goal. But, our condition is that you have to leave the General and stand on our side."Lin Huai was taken aback for a moment and then chuckled, "So, to put it bluntly, you want me to break things off with the General, right?"It was obvious that the Hou Family was counting the chickens before they hatched, but did they really treat him as a fool? Did they really think that he would break things off with the General so that they could take advantage of it and be the last winner? There was no such thing as free lunch. Lin Huai refused to
Zhang Shen irritated Lin Huai so much that rage surged inside him, but his anger dissipated almost instantly too. Instead, he laughed. It was a good thing that Zhang Shen was an arrogant man because dealing with him was much easier than with a person without any flaws.Thinking of this, Lin Huai whistled happily. Whether it was Mr. Hou or the General, Lin Huai couldn't say for sure that he was their confidant, although he was on the General's side. The most intimidating enemy was the one with enormous and terrifying strength, and there were no flaws in his forces.Of course, Lin Huai did not consider this a hindrance. In current circumstances, he was a rabbit, while the General was a tiger. A small wound on the tiger's body could not be a flaw to a rabbit, but a flaw was better than nothing.The door was pushed open, and Zhang Xinyan walked in. She was startled for a moment and asked with a smile, "What makes you so happy? You're even wh
Zhang Shen walked to Hou Junji, stretched out his hand, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Old Master Hou, I am Zhang Shen."When Hou Junji raised his head and glanced at Zhang Shen, Zhang Shen was shocked. He felt like he was being stared at by a tiger with its bloody mouth wide open, which made him a little suffocated.Hou Junji did not shake hands with him. He said calmly, "Take a seat."Zhang Shen sat down and realized that he had lost in terms of momentum. His pupils contracted slightly, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.The servant brought over a few plates of freshly cut fruits and placed them on the coffee table. However, Zhang Shen ignored the fresh fruits. Instead, he looked at Hou Junji and said respectfully, "Mr. Hou, although your 70th birthday is over, I have brought a gift."After he finished speaking, he took out an exquisite box and opened it, revealing a piece of high-quality jade
Hou Yangsheng returned to the living room, sat opposite his father, Hou Junji, and said respectfully, "Father, I'm afraid that the General is getting impatient this time."Hou Junji snorted coldly, "No, it's not that he can't wait anymore. He saw the situation of Tongcheng's underworld. He already occupied half of it, so he wanted to use this opportunity to oppress us, feeling that we would give in because of this."Hou Yangsheng lamented with some concern, "Father, we actually have to think about his suggestion. Chengxi District and Chengbei District are on the General's side, and we have no way of controlling the entire city in our hands. We'll be in a passive position if the General interferes at this time."Hou Junji confided indifferently, "Back then, I had already lost once in the national war. This time, I can't lose again. Son, the General is an ambitious and ruthless person. We can't take his words for it. If he occupies the cit
Lin Huai had already begun to order Piao Chengji to send people to keep an eye on the Hou Family. At this moment, Lin Huai could not confront the Hou Family directly, but he was not afraid of them. He would consider himself useless if he feared the Hou Family even after having so many lackeys.Back when he was studying at Yulan College, he was not afraid of Zhou Minghu, who was once the most powerful gang leader in the college, even though he didn't have many underlings.So after his meeting with Hou Liang, Lin Huai spent his days in the hospital in peace. He was happy and carefree in the hospital, teasing the nurse and chatting with Wei Qimian on the phone occasionally. He was not affected by the Hou Family's affairs or Zhang Shen's rudeness.However, on the ninth day of Lin Huai's hospitalization, which was three days after he received Zhang Shen's call, Zhang Shen took the rare initiative to visit him.Lin Huai did not kn
Piao Chengji sat at the side and listened carefully until Lin Huai finished speaking. Then he asked, "Brother Huai, what do you think about this matter?"Lin Huai looked at Piao Chengji and said, "This time, I want to listen to your opinion. Don't forget, you are the advisor I personally elected.""Okay, I'll tell you what I think about it." Piao Chengji smiled before continuing, "Although I bet that you must have thought of everything whether I tell you or not."The two of them exchanged glances and laughed.Piao Chengji confided, "Before I start, we have to separate the legal and underworld. The Dragon Faction can't contend against the current Hou Family, but in the underworld, we are quite powerful. At least, in addition to the Chengxi District and the Chengbei District, we can be on par with the two great forces that are pro-Hou Junji. In fact, I think we are slightly more powerful than them. The Chengbei District has al
Lin Huai giggled. "No, I didn't tease you. Don't you agree that you're an angel? If you think that you're not an angel, I'll be upset."Zhang Xinyan was happy to hear this. No matter how low-key a girl was, she would like to hear other people praise her, especially a compliment from a man."Alright. I'm hungry." Lin Huai donned a pouty smile. "Feed me please."Zhang Xinyan grunted, albeit sweetly, "What? Do I really have to feed you? You can get off the bed and walk now. Just do it yourself!"Lin Huai could now get off the bed and walk slowly. From the looks of it, he could be discharged in a week, which was why Zhang Xinyan refused to feed him anymore.When Lin Huai heard this, he sighed sadly, "Oh? If I had known earlier, I would have let the man hurt me even more seriously. Hey, why don't you come over and punch me a few times and injure me again? Come on. Hurry up and punch me."Zhang Xinyan gig
The driver rolled down the window and shouted furiously, "F*ck! Are you blind?"Zhang Shen also donned a cold face. No one would be pleasant when they encountered such an incident.At this time, another truck suddenly appeared behind. Zhang Shen felt a little uneasy and hurriedly urged, "Reverse and drive away. Hurry!"Seeing how flustered Zhang Shen was, the driver hurriedly turned the car around, but the truck behind them directly hit the back of the car. The driver's head directly slammed into the steering wheel, and a bloody wound appeared on his forehead. He fainted."Damn it! Who are you?! Why do you want to hurt me?!" Zhang Shen gritted his teeth in rage. It was obvious that someone was deliberately ambushing him. However, Zhang Shen was not too flustered. As the General's henchman, he might not be the strongest man among the others, but he was equally strong at the middle level of the Unobservable Energy Stage. He co
