My sister-in-law from Qingdao

I was in a very conflicted situation at that moment.

I know Liu Feng's intentions very well. He has only one goal: to get rid of me so that he can confront my cousin's wife directly.

That's true. Without me, my cousin's wife would be like a little white rabbit in his eyes, easily obtained and readily available.

However, I had only been at Shuiyunjian for a few days when Li Qingjiang's matter had already caused my elder brother a lot of trouble.

If I bring people to settle scores with Liu Feng again, it might cause even more trouble.

Liu Dachuan put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Brother, you probably don't know the rules of Shuiyunjian very well. Boss Zhao once said that we can have some minor conflicts within Shuiyunjian, but we can never let our own brothers be bullied."

This sentence shocked me.

It also made me realize that I chose the right path.

It was only a matter of time before I had to deal with Liu Feng, because if I didn't subdue this kid, he wouldn't let my sister-in-law off the hook.

Just then, Zhao Shuang walked in from outside.

She paused for a moment when she saw me, then laughed and said, "What happened? You've been beaten up like a pig's head."

Liu Dachuan hurriedly said with an awkward smile, "Miss, please help us seek justice! Chen Dong has been bullied, kidnapped, and almost lost his life."

Zhao's eyes narrowed, and he looked at me with some doubt.

"Kidnapped? Really? Someone would dare kidnap someone from Shuiyunjian?"

"They don't know I'm from Shuiyunjian; they probably still think I work at my old company."

"No wonder. With your reputation, someone in Qingdao would dare to kidnap you. They must be crazy. Who is it? What do they do?"

Before I could answer, Liu Dachuan said, "There's a guy named Liu Feng who's in the used car business."

Zhao Shuang curled her lip and said, "This is outrageous! A used car dealer is bullying us. Let's investigate his background."

After saying that, Zhao Shuang walked straight inside.

Liu Dachuan shouted at her retreating figure, "Miss, should we get him?"

Zhao Shuang didn't even turn her head.

"No need, we'll talk about it later."

Zhao Shuang left, and several brothers surrounded me to check on my injuries. That's when I received a WeChat message from Zhao Shuang.

"Come to the sixth floor."

When I arrived on the sixth floor, I saw Zhao Shuang sitting in a chair in the rest area.

I stopped, and she pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit down and tell me the details."

I recounted everything that happened today from beginning to end, including how my cousin-in-law was threatened by Liu Feng.

Do you have this person's specific address?

"I don't actually know where he lives, but I can look it up."

"Okay, go back now. Let me know after you've looked up his address."

I scratched my head, smiled wryly, and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

"My brother's younger brother, my apprentice, got beaten up and bullied. What do you think I should do?"

"Maybe we should just let it go. I caused my brother so much trouble the other day, I don't want to drag Shuiyunjian into this because of me."

Zhao Shuang stood up, crossed her arms, and paced back and forth in front of me.

"I remember you as someone with a lot of guts, how come you've suddenly become such a coward?"

Remember this: in this dog-eat-dog world, if you're kind, honest, and follow the books, you'll suffer a terrible fate.

I think Zhao Shuang makes a lot of sense. I used to think that as long as I studied hard, I would have a bright future.

But after entering society, I found that many things were different from what was written in books.

Life is full of deceit, treachery, and petty scheming.

"But I really don't want Shuiyunjian to be implicated because of me."

Zhao Shuang rolled her eyes at me again and said, "Then let me ask you, are you from Shuiyunjian?"

I quickly nodded in agreement.

"You saved my brother's life back then. Without him, there would be no Shuiyun Pavilion; without you, there would be no brother. Do you understand now?"

"I understand, but I'd like to participate."

"Go find Liu Feng's address. Tonight I'll show you what I'm made of. We don't need too many people, just the four of us: me, you, Liu Dachuan, and Ma Zhiyuan."

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go find Liu Feng's home address right now."

After coming down from the sixth floor, I found a corner and made a phone call to Sun Wenbin.

After ringing for a long time, Sun Wenbin's pitiful voice finally came through: "Brother, didn't I give you the money? What else do you want? Do you want interest? If you want interest, I'll transfer some more to you."

"Brother Sun, I'm sorry about last time. I didn't mean to go against you, but that's just the kind of person my brother is. I apologize to you here."

Sun Wenbin's tone softened slightly as he said, "Brother, I won't dare to do it again. Just tell me, how much interest do you want? I'll give it to you."

Last time, he owed his cousin 260,000 yuan, and he paid it back in full without paying interest. He thought I called him because of this.

"Just give me the principal, I don't need the interest. I'm calling you because I want your help."

"Tell me, just say it. As long as it's within my power, I'll do my best to do it."

"It's nothing serious, I just want to know Liu Feng's home address."

"Liu Feng?"

"Yes, I need to check his home address, and also, you mustn't tip him off."

"I wouldn't tip that bastard off. That beast is no good. I'm just greedy, but he's wicked, lewd, lazy, and a liar..."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh.

My cousin has gotten to know all sorts of people, one after another, all impeccably dressed and sanctimonious.

Behind the scenes, however, they do all sorts of shady, underhanded things.

When I first met them, they seemed incredibly successful, like the best of the best in the city.

In retrospect, it's nothing special.

"You have my WeChat, just send me his specific address, don't worry about anything else. Like I said, don't tip him off."

"That bastard is trying to seduce my sister-in-law, I wouldn't inform him. But let me ask you one more question, why are you going after him?"

"Shut up, stop asking questions, and the less you know, the better."

"Hehe, I think I know. Your sister-in-law is so beautiful, he must have his eye on her."

"I told you, it's better to avoid trouble. Wouldn't it be better to just pretend you don't know anything? If you keep acting like a gossip, I'll cut your tongue out."

Sun Wenbin hurriedly said with a smile, "Brother Chen Dong, I admire you more and more. I feel that in a few years, you will be the king of Qingdao's underground."

"Don't flatter me, I'm a law-abiding citizen."

"Absolutely. In this beautiful city, we must act in accordance with the law. I'll send you his address now."
