Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 436 I'll cut off one of your fingers to vent my anger
New Star Plaza Guest Rooms

Several peddlers were smoking cigars and bragging.

They were "invited" here by He Long today, and they thought they could expand their business by connecting with the He family.

They had no idea of ​​the real reason why Holon had invited them over.

When He Long opened the door, the group still addressed him politely as "General Manager He".

But when Li Xingying walked into the hotel, the group was instantly stunned.

How did she end up with Holon?
The peddlers sensed something was wrong; it felt like lambs had been led into a tiger's den.

“Mr. Jiang, Ms. Li, these are the cargo dealers who frequently operate at the port,” He Long said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. He." Jiang Beicheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the few shopkeepers.

The group exchanged glances and frowned.

Who is this young man?

Judging from the way He Long addressed him, this General Manager Jiang seemed to be someone of considerable importance.

Their gazes then turned to Li Xingying. They were truly surprised that this internet celebrity had such a powerful backer, enabling the He family to stand up and do something that violated the industry's unspoken rules.

To some extent, these merchants have reached a tacit understanding with the betting companies, a mutually beneficial coexistence.

If He Long called them here today to avenge internet celebrity Xiao Li and to take action against them, then their reputation will definitely suffer.

After that, no one dared to go to He's place to exchange money anymore.

"President Jiang, you can handle this as you see fit. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens at Xinhao," He Long stated.

These words terrified the peddlers.

Why would the He family give this Mr. Jiang such a big favor? Just who is he?

He Long nodded to his younger sister, and the two left the room, leaving the hotel security guards inside to accompany Jiang Beicheng. Several security personnel were also standing at the door.

No one is allowed to enter or leave this room.

He Long dared to adopt this attitude because he had learned about Jiang Beicheng's character from his elder sister and knew that he was sensible in his actions.

It's impossible for a murder to happen here.

That would mean the end of Jiangbei City.

I guess today's purpose is just to remind and educate these scoundrels and vent my anger.

Jiang Beichen sat down on the sofa, glanced at the cigars on the coffee table, and joked, "Looks like business is doing well, you're smoking such good ones."

“Boss, we’re just in it for the volume, we don’t make much profit.” One of the shrewd dealers stepped forward to plead for peace. “Boss, give us a chance. We know we can’t afford to mess with Miss Li.”

Jiang Beicheng's expression turned serious. "I let you off the hook at the birthday party."

Not only did they not restrain themselves, they became even more brazen.

Now they dare to directly threaten Ms. Li's personal safety.

He raised his hand and slapped the shopkeeper's face. "Do you think you can hide in Macau and nobody can touch you?"

The other merchants felt insulted and immediately stood up.

"Sit down, it's alright."

The peddler facing Jiangbei City smiled and said, "Boss, we're just trying to make a living. Give us a chance, give us a chance."

If Miss Li is unwilling to do it, we will certainly not bother her anymore.

The shopkeepers were genuinely surprised that an internet celebrity would actually dare to come to their door directly.

Jiang Beicheng looked at Li Xingying.

She was really angry. The birthday party almost ruined her reputation. Even though she managed to salvage it, she still suffered heavy losses during those two months.

While she was in Macau for an event, these people delivered threatening letters directly to her hotel entrance.

I was on tenterhooks for several days.

Now you can finish things with just a few words.

Her husband made a special trip to Macau to stand up for her; she didn't come here today to hear these people apologize and beg for forgiveness.

He picked up the cigar cutter from the coffee table and glared at the leader of the peddlers.

He grabbed his fingers, but the peddler, being strong, broke free instantly. However, Jiang Beicheng firmly grasped his hand.

Li Xingying slipped the cigar cutter onto the peddler's middle finger.

Several henchmen rushed forward excitedly, but were all restrained by Xinhao's security personnel.

Li Xingying gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You've already ruined me once, don't even think about ruining me again."

Press down firmly on the cigar cutter.

The blades at both ends cut directly into the flesh of the man's middle finger.

Fresh blood dripped onto the coffee table.

The shopkeeper endured the pain, not daring to vent his emotions.

Once you realize you've offended someone you shouldn't have, this isn't something you can easily let go of.

If I can survive this broken finger, it will be a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Li Xingying vented her anger.

My palms were squeezed until they turned red and I felt pain, so I let go.

She wasn't strong enough to break the shopkeeper's fingers.

The peddler flicked his fingers, throwing away the cigar cutter.

"Boss, is this all settled?" The peddler, clenching his hand and enduring the intense pain, pleaded with Jiang Beicheng again: "Let my brothers go, I'll leave one of my hands here."

Those of them in this line of work are always living on the edge.

They fear legal sanctions, retaliation from enemies, and offending the gambling company owners.

I've long since become indifferent to the concepts of life and death.

However, he is very loyal to his brothers and team members.

Jiang Beicheng asked Li Xingying, "Have you vented your anger?"

Li Xingying nodded.

She never intended to escalate the situation and ruin herself and her husband.

The He family was also dragged into it.

I came here today to see who's been harassing her and to get my revenge.

Now that my goal has been achieved, I feel much better.

Jiang Beicheng glanced at the few cargo dealers one last time, "Next time, you'll either spend the rest of your life in jail or be fish food in international waters."

I scared them with a joke.

At the He family's entertainment venue, it's still necessary to consider the He family's reputation. He Long has offered to cover up the losses, but you can't really let him do it.

These vendors all have gambling companies behind them, so letting the matter end here is a way of giving face to the gambling companies behind them.

Jiangbei City is not yet capable of taking a bite out of the SJM Holdings ecosystem.

"Thank you, boss." The leader bowed to Jiang Beicheng and Li Xingying, then gave a wink to the group of brothers in the room, who followed suit and bowed to thank Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng left with Li Xingying. The door to the room opened, and He Long glanced inside. Seeing that things hadn't gotten out of hand, he reminded them in front of Jiang Beicheng, "Behave yourself. Don't do things you shouldn't do, don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with, and don't say things you shouldn't say."

The group nodded in agreement to He Long's warning.

In fact, Holon had already found out which betting company these dealers frequently contacted—Galaxy Entertainment.

Although Boss Lü won't have any unpleasantness with the He family over a few merchants, he will feel that you broke the rules and made him lose face if word got out, and he might make things difficult for you in future industry competition.

Holon was quite nervous outside; he was also gambling.

The gambling queen's evaluation of President Jiang.

The final result was ideal; he not only expressed his stance to President Jiang, but also gave President Jiang and Ms. Li a sense of relief.

The deeper meaning of what I just said to those dealers was that this matter ends here once they leave this room today; keep it to yourself and don't let it reach Boss Lü's ears.

Otherwise, if the two establishments start fighting, the first to suffer will be these dealers. If they sabotage each other, the entire profit ecosystem of both casinos will collapse. The henchmen, the money changers… none will escape unscathed.

These smugglers are reckless, but they care about money and profit. They know the consequences, and today they've fallen into the hands of this General Manager Jiang. Taking the broken tendon in one of their fingers as a lesson.
