Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan

Hey, cousin! Xiao Ke called out to Wang Zhi.

Hey?

"Hey, don't be forceful, okay? A higher rent is fine. We only bully the strong, not the weak. Let's talk this out," Xiao Ke instructed.

"Understood~" After saying that, Wang Zhi led Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang to the nearby general store. The owner was an old man surnamed Su. When he saw Wang Zhi and the others come in, he asked, "What would you like to buy?"

"Old man, I work at the casino next door. I'm not buying anything, I just want to discuss something with you," Wang Zhi said.

What's wrong?

We want to rent your shop. You can name your price; we won't haggle.

"No, not for any price." The old man said firmly.

"Hey, old man, how much money can your grocery store make in a year? We're telling you to make money and you won't do it. Did you get your head stuck in a door?" Zhang Guangyue interjected.

I said I wouldn't rent, and that's final. Whether you buy anything or not, if not, then get out of here. The old man was completely unimpressed.

"Damn it, you only listen to force, don't you? You won't listen to sweet talk, will you?" Zhang Guangyue said, about to charge forward.

Wang Zhi stopped him abruptly. "Guangyue, Xiao Ke said we shouldn't use force. Why are you bullying an old man?"

"No, Brother Zhi, listen to what he said, he deserves to be taught a lesson," Zhang Guangyue said indignantly.

Just then, a girl around 20 years old walked in. She had long, flowing hair, was about 170 cm tall, had a curvaceous figure, cherry lips, a high nose, and big eyes—she was a real beauty.

"Dad, what's wrong?" the girl asked as soon as she came up.

"It's nothing. They're from the casino next door; they want to rent our shop to open their own casino," the old man said.

Upon hearing this, the girl's face flushed red. She rushed to Wang Zhi and declared, "No, no, I won't rent it to you, no matter how much money you offer! Get out of here!"

Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang were a little stunned. They hadn't expected this thin little girl to have such a strong presence and not be afraid of them at all, even though they were gangsters.

"If you weren't a woman, I would have kicked you and splattered your juices long ago," Wang Zhi said, glaring at her.

"Come on, try kicking me! Let's see if I'm afraid of you!" the girl said, taking a step forward.

Wang Zhi was caught off guard by the girl and didn't know what to do. Even if he was a scoundrel, he couldn't hit a woman! "You wait and see how I deal with you," he thought. "Let's go!"

"I'll wait and see what you can do to me." The girl was not to be outdone.

Left with no other option, Wang Zhi had to return to the casino with Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang.

When Xiao Ke saw Wang Zhi running back in a huff, he asked, "Cousin, what's wrong? They won't rent it to you?"

"Damn it, some people just can't be treated nicely. If it weren't for the fact that they're an old man and a girl, I would have fucking shoved them in the gut long ago." Wang Zhi took a sip of water and said angrily.

"Brother, an old man and a young woman refuse to rent to us. I think that young woman is quite pretty. Let's grab her and take her upstairs to get her hair washed. Let's see if they still have any problems then," Zhang Guangyue said.

"I'll go catch him right now, what's the rush?" Wei Qinggang turned and started to walk away.

"Gangzi, stop right there! We're here to keep our reputations. We don't bully the old, and we don't hit women. Don't you even know these basic rules? How will we survive if word gets out? I'm going to see what's going on. You guys wait here." Xiao Ke said, standing up and walking towards the nearby general store.

As soon as Xiao Ke entered the general store, he saw the long-haired girl that Wang Zhi and the others had mentioned. The girl looked up at Xiao Ke after seeing him.

With just one glance, Xiao Ke felt an electric shock, a tingling sensation running through his body. He realized there were such beautiful girls in the world, like they had stepped out of a painting.

Jet-black hair, a graceful figure, a pretty face, long legs, sensual lips, and captivating eyes.

Xiao Ke fell in love at first sight; she's found love!

"What do you want to buy?" The girl's question pulled Xiao Ke back from his reverie.

Holy crap, that voice sounds so sweet and milky, it's fucking captivating! Little Ke thought to himself.

"Ah, no... I don't buy anything, I'm the owner of the casino next door," Little K stammered.

"Get out! I won't rent it!" the girl snapped angrily.

She's so damn beautiful, even when she's angry she's beautiful. Little Ke wasn't angry at all, on the contrary, he felt great being yelled at, what a jerk.

Beautiful lady, don't be angry. I'm discussing this with you. As long as you're willing to rent it to me...

"Get lost! Can't you hear me? I'm telling you, I'm not renting, and that's final!" Before Xiao Ke could finish speaking, the girl rushed over, her face almost touching his.

Xiao Ke squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, and savored the sweet fragrance of the girl's breath.

Seeing Xiao Ke's blissful expression and lewd actions, the girl suddenly realized she was too close to him and abruptly took a step back, her face instantly flushing with embarrassment.

You can leave now; we won't rent it for any price.

Seeing how disgusted the other person was, Xiao Ke knew that continuing the argument would be pointless, so he withdrew and decided to wait until things calmed down before continuing.

After Xiao Ke returned to the casino, Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang all gathered around.

"How did it go, Xiao Ke? Did you reach an agreement?" Wang Zhi asked.

"No," Xiao Ke said, sitting down.

"Brother, I told you we shouldn't let them get away with this. Shall we go and bring that little wench here?" Zhang Guangyue said.

"Shut your mouth! Don't keep calling me 'little girl' like that. Can't you be a little more civilized?" Xiao Ke yelled at Zhang Guangyue.

Xiao Ke's shout stunned Wang Zhi and the other two. They were all rough men who always called younger girls "little sissies" and older girls "old sissies." What was wrong with Xiao Ke today? Why was he acting so strangely?

"Cousin, go and investigate the family next door. I think there must be a reason why they're so reluctant to rent to us," Xiao Ke instructed.

"Brother, why bother investigating? I'll just go and do it head-on. Why bother with all that trouble?" Wei Qinggang said with a smug grin.

"Don't mess with me, nobody's allowed to use force. Anyone who lays a hand on them, don't blame me for being ruthless," Xiao Ke said sternly.

Brother, this… Wei Qinggang wanted to ask more, but Wang Zhi quickly pulled him away, saying that this guy's head was a bit too stupid.

"Brother Zhi, why did you pull me? What's wrong with Big Brother?" Wei Qinggang, who was pulled out by Wang Zhi, asked, still puzzled.

"Gangzi, I can tell, but you haven't? Big Brother has probably fallen in love," Zhang Guangyue said.

You mean, Big Brother has fallen for that young woman? Wei Qinggang was still a little incredulous.

"Damn, even Guangyue noticed, but you didn't? You're such a pig-headed idiot! Didn't you see Xiao Ke's eyes were glued to him? He's definitely fallen for that girl," Wang Zhi said.

"That makes things even easier, Guangyue. Let's kidnap her and have Big Brother take her." Wei Qinggang said.

"Don't you even know what love is? All you ever do is go straight for it, are you an animal? Come on, let's go find out more about them." Wang Zhi said, pulling the two of them outside.

Will Wang Zhi and his team be able to find out the reason? Will Xiao Ke rent the grocery store? Stay tuned for the next episode.
