"Bearded Yong, you should be most glad that you haven't thought of hiring a gunman to beat me up!"

Otherwise, I wouldn't be calling you now. Killing someone in front of so many reporters—that's enough to put you in jail for life!

The sauna was already hot, and Bearded Yong felt even hotter inside!

He took a deep breath, walked to the sauna door, opened it halfway, and let out some fresh air.

"You want to drag me into this and force the Li family to submit?"

“You’re wrong about that. I never intended to involve you. You’re the one who dragged yourself into this.”

For a moment, Bearded Yong was speechless.

He's in his prime, and after being out in the world for so long, he's seen it all.

He has personally wielded a knife to kill people, and has been threatened into shooting them in the back.

But I have never seen a character as ruthless as Ho Yiu-chung!

Without shedding blood, they meticulously planned and tricked him into a trap, leaving him with immense strength but nowhere to use it!

After calming down, Bearded Yong took a deep breath.

"Give me some time, I'll go and talk to the Li family right away."

"I'll come find you at the teahouse in Sham Shui Po within an hour at most!"

"I'll only give you half an hour."

"Okay! Half an hour it is!"

Bearded Yong slammed down the phone, looking flustered for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the wardrobe to get dressed and go downstairs.

After a flurry of activity, I finally got downstairs and into my car.

After telling his henchman to drive, Bearded Yong picked up the phone, his fingers trembling, and dialed the number that Li Yunlian had given him.

He didn't call Li Zhikai, and he knew perfectly well that Li Zhikai would never care about his life or death.

Even if it costs him a fortune, this loser will never choose to bow down and admit defeat to Wo Luen Shing!

"Hey?"

A clear, crisp female voice came from the other end of the phone.

This is the phone call answered by Li Yunlian's assistant.

"Miss, I am Pan Zhiyong."

"Could you please inform Ms. Li that I have something extremely urgent to discuss with her?"

"Mr. Pan? I'm sorry, Chairman Li is currently chatting with some guests. Why don't you call back later?"

"It's too late! Tell Ms. Li that if we're any later, I'll be dead!"

Bearded Yong was a little agitated, and for a moment he even made the henchman driving the car in front turn around and take a look.

But after catching a glimpse of Bearded Yong's fierce expression, he quickly turned his head back and obediently drove the car.

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time before finally responding.

"Alright then, I'll go and inform Chairman Li now."

“Thank you, thank you for the sun!”

Bearded Yong took a breath, gripped the phone tightly, and slumped back in his chair.

Before long, Li Yunlian's voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Zhiyong, what happened?"

"Ms. Li, you absolutely have to help me this time!"

Upon hearing Li Yunlian's voice, Bearded Yong sat up straight as if he had been electrocuted, and immediately relayed what Li Zhikai had told him to do, as well as what He Yaozong had just said.

Finally, they pricked up their ears, eagerly awaiting an answer from Li Yunlian.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Finally, Li Yunlian's voice rang out again.

"Zhiyong, this young man is far too vicious and cunning!"

After waiting for so long, all he got was this meaningless and pointless remark, which only made Bearded Yong more anxious and agitated.

"Ms. Li, I have put in a lot of effort for Hysan Development over the years!"

"If Mr. Li hadn't spoken up, I wouldn't have done such a foolish thing. Surely your Li family won't just stand by and do nothing?"

Bearded Yong practically made it clear that if he were to be targeted by the police because of this incident, Li Zhikai would also be dragged down with him!

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlian's answer was very straightforward.

"Zhiyong, I know you've done a lot for Hysan Development over the years, but nobody wants a small matter to escalate to this point."

"Our Li family holds some standing in Hong Kong Island. It would be rather inappropriate to reluctantly relinquish the land in Kowloon Walled City just because of these issues!"

Hu Xuyong's heart skipped a beat.

"So, Ms. Li, are you planning to leave me to shoulder this alone?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you."

If you don't want to go to jail, you can go to the Netherlands or Australia. With the Li family's connections, they can guarantee that your life abroad won't be worse than in Hong Kong.

During your absence, I will actively maintain relationships with various sectors in Hong Kong. Once things have calmed down, you can return. The Lee family business will continue to support you.

Bearded Yong gritted his teeth and remained silent, waiting for Li Yunlian to continue.

He was already extremely unhappy. What did he mean by being able to leave Hong Kong Island?

He earned his reputation through sheer hard work and dedication. Tomorrow, the turnover rate of powerful figures in Hong Kong's triads will be faster than bamboo shoots sprouting after a spring rain!

He's still the head of the Yi family gang. If he's sent out to wander around for three to five years, will he still have a place to stand when he comes back to Hong Kong?!

“If you really don’t want to leave Hong Kong Island, I will also help you secure a job for those brothers in the Yi Zi Tuan group.”

I will find you the best lawyer and handle all the connections in Hong Kong Island so that when you get out of prison, you'll still be the same..."

Bearded Yong finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Ms. Li, what if I don't agree to either of these conditions?"

Li Yunlian said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, it's just that the Li family's reputation will be damaged."

At that point, Yi Zi Dui will no longer have the possibility of cooperating with Hong Kong Island real estate developers.

"With so many phone numbers in Hong Kong Island, any one of them could be a potential partner for Lee Ka!"

At this point, all that's left is a threat.

Bearded Yong understood the stakes involved.

Decades ago, the Lee family was adept at fostering infighting among Hong Kong's triads.

He Anle, derived from the character "He" (和), relies on the support of the Li family.

For families like theirs, with plenty of money, supporting other number groups to defeat the Yi number group is incredibly easy!

Hu Xuyong had lost his earlier aura; he appeared somewhat dejected and remained silent for a long time.

He barely managed to respond after Li Yunlian called his name twice on the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Li, I understand what you mean!"

I hope you won't go back on your word. This time, consider it my way of repaying the Li family for their years of support!

"It's wonderful that you've come to your senses, Zhiyong. I assure you, the Li family will always be your friend!"

beep-

The phone went dead.

At this point, the car had already reached the Sham Shui Po area.

This feeling of being summoned and dismissed at will was like a heavy stone pressing on his chest. Bearded Yong felt a tightness in his chest, unable to breathe...

He Tai Tea House, He Yaozong's office.

As Hu Xuyong entered, He Yaozong raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Not bad, you arrived eight minutes early."

wow-

Hu Xuyong pulled out a chair and sat down.

His face was grim, and he spoke directly.

“I’ve spoken with the Li family, and I believe you’re aware of the situation.”

Even I, Bearded Yong, am no match for you on that piece of land in Kowloon Walled City!

He Yaozong didn't speak, but simply gestured to Hu Xuyong in a "please" manner, indicating that he should continue.

"Go ahead and tell the police to hand over the person. I'll find someone to take the blame."

Even if they can't escape responsibility from the police, the worst they can do is spend ten years or so in prison.

However, after I go to prison, the Li family will support Yi Zi Dui and completely break ties with you and Lian Sheng!

"If you've got the guts, then kill me in prison. Provoking the imperial aura and harming me will get you killed by the gunmen of the Yi family, day and night!"

He Yaozong couldn't help but sneer.

"Bearded Yong, it looks like you're here to fight me to the death."

However, if I were you, I wouldn't have said those things later.

If you really intended to do that, why did you bother to remind me?

Bearded Yong gritted his teeth; He Yaozong really didn't give him any face.

That's right, he said those words as a last-ditch effort. If he could fool He Yaozong, then he would be grasping at the last straw.

If we can't intimidate you... then we'll all die together!

"Luo Jun, pour him a cup of tea."

He Yaozong gave an order to Chen Luojun behind him, which puzzled Hu Xuyong for a moment.
