But after receiving the initiation, his combat power has now reached the level of a gang's top-ranking member. In hand-to-hand combat, it's impossible for seven or eight ordinary people to get close to him.
He was very satisfied with the reward. The underworld was never short of villains. Killing a level-one villain like Master Hong would earn him such a powerful reward, which filled him with anticipation for the future.
The next morning, he took Chen Guilin to a restaurant for morning tea.
Due to some historical reasons, the morning tea in Taiwan is not much different from that on the mainland. In addition to soy milk, fried dough sticks, and xiaolongbao, there are also localized and improved versions of specialty breakfast dishes.
For example, the egg pancake, which is similar to roujiamo, is also a crispy pancake with a tender interior. However, roujiamo is filled with meat, while this one is filled with a fried egg.
In addition, there are some breakfast items that have been incorporated from foreign cuisines, such as cheese omelets and meat and egg toast.
"Crunch~~"
While the two were having breakfast, they heard the sound of brakes coming from the restaurant entrance and turned to look at the door at the same time.
A man with parted hair and a cold expression pushed open the door and walked in.
The man entered, glanced around, and walked straight over when he saw Ren Jiu.
But before he could get close, he was stopped by the henchmen who were responsible for protecting Ren Jiu.
"Get out of the way, don't block Captain Chen!" Ren Jiu said.
The newcomer was Chen Hui, the captain of the Taipei Police Station. Ren Jiu and Chen Hui were old acquaintances and were not strangers to each other.
Upon hearing Ren Jiu's words, the younger brother made way for Chen Hui.
Chen Hui, upon arriving at the dining table, made no attempt to stand on ceremony. He plopped down, picked up the breakfast on the table, and began to devour it.
"It seems Captain Chen is starving. Is this enough? If not, I'll order some more for you," Ren Jiu said with a smile.
"Alright!" Chen Hui said with a sidelong glance, "I have more than a dozen brothers outside, all thanks to you. They haven't eaten since last night, so why don't we order them some too!"
"Thanks to me?" Ren Jiu feigned ignorance, asking, "What makes you say that, Captain Chen?"
"There's no point in saying these things in front of me!" Chen Hui looked him in the eyes and said, "Your little brother Guilinzi is quite famous now, don't you want to say something to me?"
"Captain Chen, it's best not to make things up without evidence. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation. What do you mean by 'become famous overnight'? I have no idea what you're talking about!" Ren Jiu said with a smile.
The news of Master Hong's death spread throughout the underworld this morning. Everyone with eyes to see knows that Chen Guilin was responsible, since Ren Jiu was the one who had the biggest conflict with Master Hong recently.
The only one among Ren Jiu's subordinates who could handle things so well was Chen Guilin, his right-hand man.
As the captain of the criminal investigation team, Chen Hui was naturally aware that this matter was orchestrated by Chen Guilin.
But as clear as they were, these police officers relied on evidence to solve cases. Chen Guilin had covered himself up completely while doing his job, making it impossible for them to find any evidence to prove that he was the one who did it...

Chapter Five: Iron Head? Is his head really that iron?
"Why don't you tell me, Captain Chen, what happened that made our Captain Chen so angry so early in the morning?"
While asking questions, Ren Jiu calmly picked up a shrimp dumpling and slowly savored it.
"Captain Chen, this shop sells herbal tea. It's very effective at clearing heat and reducing internal fire. Do you want me to get you some? And all your brothers outside should get a cup too!"
As a law-abiding citizen, I'm just expressing my gratitude to you police officers who work tirelessly on the front lines all night.
The police and the public cooperate well, and everyone is happy!
Hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Chen Hui's eyes. "Ren Jiu, don't be arrogant. Don't think you can do things without leaving any loopholes. Sooner or later, I will send all of you scum to Green Island to be imprisoned!"
Chen Hui and Master Hong actually have no connection. In fact, Chen Hui's dislike for Master Hong's fanboys is far greater than his dislike for Ren Jiu.
After all, compared to gang members like Ren Jiu, Hung Ye, who sells number four, poses a greater threat to society.
He came to warn Ren Jiu solely because it was his duty. Whether Master Hong deserved to die or not was a matter for the law to decide, not a reason for a gangland feud.
"Okay!"
Ren Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "If Captain Chen Hui has any evidence, you are welcome to bring a summons and take me away at any time. But if you don't have any evidence, it's best not to make things up. After all, you are a cop, and you need to rely on evidence when you do things! If you talk nonsense without evidence, be careful that I sue you for defamation!"
"Also, if Captain Chen has nothing else to do, please take care and don't spoil my breakfast!"
Faced with Ren Jiu's sarcastic remarks, even though Chen Hui was furious, there was nothing he could do.
Before he arrived, he had arranged for his men to check all the surveillance footage along the way, but Chen Guilin was very cautious and did not give anything away.
Not only was the truck that crashed into them stolen from the roadside, but even the car that came to their rescue had a fake license plate, leaving them with no evidence.
Moreover, the Sanlian Gang is deeply entrenched in Taiwan, with a network of connections throughout the island. Without solid evidence, they cannot even take Chen Guilin away for investigation.
Otherwise, he might have just taken Chen Guilin away, and before he even got back to the police station, the Sanlian Gang's lawyer would have been waiting for him there.
By then, not only will he find nothing to investigate, but he will also get himself into a lot of trouble.
"You better not give me any leverage!" Chen Hui glared at Ren Jiu and said, "We'll see. One day I'll send you to Green Island!"
After saying that, Chen Hui turned and strode away without looking back.
"Guilin, is there something wrong with this guy? Why isn't he eating breakfast and instead spouting nonsense!" Ren Jiu said with a half-smile, watching Chen Hui's departing figure.
After breakfast, Ren Jiu took Chen Guilin back to the club.
Because it was morning, there were few shops open on this street, which is usually bustling at night, and not many pedestrians.
Before Ren Jiu even reached the club entrance, he saw a car driving towards him from a distance.
After the vehicle stopped in front of him, a man who was about 1.7 meters tall, thin, and looked somewhat shifty got out.
This man was another minor leader under Ren Jiu, nicknamed "Rat Ming".
Don't let his somewhat sleazy appearance fool you; he doesn't look like a very capable fighter. But the fact that Ren Jiu values him so highly means he must have some extraordinary abilities. Anyone who can make a name for themselves in the martial arts world must have something special to offer!
Especially when it comes to being ruthless and cunning, under Ren Jiu's command, if he claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.
"Boss!" Rat Ming greeted Ren Jiu respectfully as he got out of the car.
"Hmm!" Ren Jiu responded casually. "You're back at this time, is there some new development on Master Hong's side?"
He was extremely concerned about his own safety, so he couldn't possibly be completely unprepared after killing Master Hong. Therefore, he sent Rat Ming to keep an eye on Master Hong's side early on, in case Master Hong's underlings launched a sneak attack or revenge after he was gone.
"Boss, Master Hong's henchman, Iron Head, is already preparing to hold a funeral for Master Hong. He's even spread the word in the underworld that he'll avenge his boss and settle the blood debt in blood!" Rat Ming replied.
"He didn't name anyone, or say who he wanted revenge against?" Ren Jiu asked.
"That's not true!"
Upon hearing this answer, Ren Jiu immediately understood Tie Tou's plan. After all, Tie Tou was Hong Ye's right-hand man. He couldn't just remain silent after his boss died. He had to at least show the outside world and his men his determination to avenge his boss.
"Hmph!" Ren Jiu snorted coldly, "Revenge? What will he use to take revenge? His iron head? Is his head really that iron?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Guilin, "Guilin, does this Iron Head think his boss is dead?!"
I don't like this stubborn guy. I'll find a chance to get rid of him, and then we can unify the entire West District! Anyone who dares to mess with me, I'll slap them to death!
"Yes, boss!" Chen Guilin, who always followed Ren Jiu's lead, nodded without hesitation.
P.S.: New book launch! I'm begging for your support with flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets!
Even a single flower, a review vote, or a monthly pass would be appreciated...
Chapter Six: Hi, my name is Guilinzi!
For Tie Tou, Hong Ye's death was actually a rare opportunity.
Although he outwardly appeared to be weeping, he was secretly overjoyed. He was Master Hong's right-hand man, while Master Hong's nephews and nieces were too young to command respect.
Now that Master Hong has suddenly met with misfortune, he has naturally become the successor.
Now that Master Hong has complete control over his territory and his men, his status in the underworld has been greatly enhanced, as evidenced by the attitudes of the guests who come to pay their respects.
"Tie Tou, our two families should visit each other more often from now on!"
"Uncle Ma, that's for sure. You're a senior in the martial arts world, and I'll need to learn from your teachings in the future!" Tie Tou said politely.
"How do you plan to resolve this matter concerning your boss?"
"I must avenge my boss, otherwise I will be letting him down after all these years of training. After I see him off on his final journey, I will prepare to go to war with that bastard Ren Jiu!"
Even the police officer Chen Hui could guess that Ren Jiu was behind Master Hong's affair, so it was even more impossible for these people in the underworld not to know.
He wasn't just saying that to appease his superiors. After all, as the successor, he had to shoulder the responsibilities he was supposed to. If he couldn't avenge his boss, his underlings would be dissatisfied with him.
"Yes, I have high hopes for you. If you need any help, feel free to call me anytime."
"Of course, of course! Please come in, Mr. Marco!"
Tie Tou didn't take the other party's polite words to heart at all. There are many people in the martial arts world who would kick someone when they're down, but they've rarely seen anyone who would offer help in a time of need.
Ma Bo of the Five Lakes Gang may seem concerned, but he actually intends to sit back and watch the tigers fight so he can reap the benefits.
However, with so many guests in front of him, Tie Tou naturally wouldn't say much, and he also had to show concern for the eldest brother's widow in front of outsiders.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll take care of all the household expenses from now on, so you don't need to worry about making a living!" As he spoke, Tie Tou handed over a brown paper bag full of cash. "This is a small token of my appreciation; I hope you won't find it offensive!"
"Tie Tou, if your older brother knew this from beyond the grave..."
Before she could finish speaking, her sister-in-law was overcome with grief, and large tears streamed down her face.
"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge my brother..."
There is no banquet at the memorial service in Taiwan. Only boxed meals are provided for the guests who come to pay their respects. The bigwigs who come to pay their respects will definitely not eat those things. After paying their respects, they will take their leave after the ceremony ends.
