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
At nine in the evening, Piao Chengji and Dao Zi came to Lin Huai's ward. Piao Chengji sat next to Lin Huai's bed while Dao Zi sat on the empty nursing bed next to them.Lin Huai's gaze became serious and asked, "Are you sure that Zhang Shen lost just after two moves?""Yes." Piao Chengji said, "Dao Zi and I saw that from the rooftop of the opposite building."Dao Zi coldly said, "The two of them have a big difference in strength. Zhang Shen had used his full strength, and Ximen Wuming dealt with the attack in a hurry, but Zhang Shen was afraid and panicked, so his limbs felt weak. Ximen Wuming had a stronger willpower, so we can't judge by looking at the surface of things."Lin Huai naturally believed in Dao Zi's judgment in this aspect, so he asked, "Then, what do you think will be the results if the two of them fought fairly without considering the conditions of their mentalities?""Ximen Wuming would win, but
The seventy-year-old Hou Junji had shaken the entire Tongcheng once again.Meanwhile, at The General's villa in the provincial capital, The General was watering flowers when a man with a goatee walked over and stood obediently behind him. Once The General finished watering the flowers, he put the watering can aside and casually asked, "What's the matter?"The goateed man said, "General, there is news from Tongcheng. Zhang Shen is dead.""Oh." The General picked up the gardening scissors and began to trim the flower's leaves and branches. Afterward, he put the gardening scissors aside and sat on the chair. "Hou Junji is so old, but he's still so hot-tempered."The goateed man smiled. "That ignorant old man thinks it is still in the era when he ruled.""You can't say it like that. After all, he is our senior in the underworld," said The General."Sometimes, the older a person gets, the more stubborn a
Wei Sihai came to visit Lin Huai today, and it was his second visit after Lin Huai was hospitalized. Lin Huai could get out of bed and walk freely, and he could even accompany Wei Sihai for a walk in the courtyard."Looks like you have almost recovered," Wei Sihai said with a smile."Yes. I can be discharged at any time.""Then why are you still in the hospital? It doesn't match your character to stay here still." There was a bit of confusion in Wei Sihai's eyes. He did have a good understanding of Lin Huai's character.Lin Huai said, "The current situation in Tongcheng is complicated. The people outside will lower their guard against Chengbei District if I'm still in the hospital. Maybe my stay at the hospital will come in handy someday. In our current society, nonconformity gets punished. The more low-key you are, the more benefits you'll get later. Also, the more belittled you are, the more likely you win.""
