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

Seeing their companion being beaten, the three men sitting with that person grabbed beer bottles from the table and rushed over.

Li Zhengguang was not afraid at all. Holding the remaining broken bottle neck in his hand, he pointed at the several people rushing towards him and shouted.

Hey, you guys, come on, let all of you come at me together.

When the group saw Li Zhengguang's fierce and menacing gaze, they all stopped and none of them dared to be the first to rush forward.

"Damn it, don't you dare leave! You just wait, you just wait!" The man whose head had been split open shouted as he walked away, clutching his head and being helped by his companion.

"Fuck you, get the hell out of here! I'm waiting for you here, what are you going to do about it?" Li Zhengguang shouted towards the door.

Without Qiao Si and Yao Yifei lifting a finger, Li Zhengguang scared all four of them away with his sheer ferocity.

Sitting on the stool, Qiao Si looked at Li Zhengguang with newfound respect. He never expected that Li Zhengguang, who had such a scholarly appearance, would fight so recklessly. It seemed that he was a promising talent.

Come on, Zhengguang, sit down. Let's continue drinking. Ignore them. Look, even Qiao Si's way of addressing him has changed. That means he has completely accepted Li Zhengguang.

"Brother, you're really something! I didn't expect someone so young to fight so fiercely," Yao Yifei praised.

"Brother Fei, you can't stand firm if you're not ruthless. I've come to terms with it. In this dog-eat-dog world, if someone's ruthless, you have to be even more ruthless. Come on, don't let these idiots ruin our drinking mood. Let's keep drinking." Li Zhengguang refilled his glass and toasted Qiao Si and Yao Yifei.

Qiao Si and Yao Yifei didn't take it seriously. They used to fight a lot at the construction site. They would fight back and forth, and as long as no one was killed or seriously injured, it was fine.

The three men continued to boast and drink, when a few hats rushed in from the restaurant entrance and, without saying a word, handcuffed Qiao Si and the other two.

Li Zhengguang immediately recognized that it was that kid who had called the police. He couldn't believe they were so despicable; they couldn't beat them, so they called the authorities instead.

"It has nothing to do with them. I hit them myself. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me instead," Li Zhengguang shouted at the hat.

"Shut up, you son of a bitch!" A hat didn't spoil him at all. It slapped Li Zhengguang twice across the face, making Li Zhengguang see stars. He didn't dare to say another word.

Qiao Si and the other two were taken to the police station by Mao Zi and locked in cages without explanation.

Qiao Si and his group were left hanging for a long time before someone called them out one by one to find out what happened during the beating.

As before, Li Zhengguang took all the blame upon himself, claiming that he had nothing to do with Qiao Si and Yao Yifei.

After understanding the situation, a man with a hat-like hairstyle first called the person whose head had been cracked open by Li Zhengguang to the office. That person had gauze wrapped around his head and was grimacing and crying out in pain.

"Alright, stop pretending. I've looked into the situation. Your head isn't seriously injured. You were the one who insulted them first, and that's why they hit you, right?" the man in the hat asked.

"Boss, I admit I started swearing, but they came up and hit me with a bottle right away. This is gangster stuff; you really need to investigate this." the man said.

They're just some lowly gangsters. They'll ask you for 500 yuan for medical expenses, and that's it.

Huh? That's too little, boss.

"What's so bad about it? Otherwise, I'll just detain one of them, and you won't get a single penny. You choose," said the man in the hat and hair.

Well, fine then. The person who gets hit has no choice but to compromise.

"Then you go outside and wait. I'll talk to those guys some more." The man in the hat said, calling Qiao Si, Yao Yifei, and Li Zhengguang into his office.

"I looked into the situation. The other party was seriously injured. Seeing that you acted impulsively, I pleaded with him, and he agreed to pay 3000 yuan in medical expenses, so we won't pursue the matter further," the man in the hat said to them.

"How much? 3000 yuan? It's just a little scratch on the head, and they dare ask for so much? This is extortion! No, not a single cent!" Li Zhengguang shouted.

"Who the hell are you talking to? You don't have to take it, but we'll arrest you right now." The man in the hat's face instantly turned long.

Detain me if you want, I have no money, but you can take my life—Li Zhengguang is not afraid at all.

Zheng Guang, say less, boss, we'll take it, we'll take it~ Qiao Si said, standing up and counting out 3000 yuan from his pocket, and putting it on the table of the man in the hat.

"Fourth Brother, you can't take it!" Li Zhengguang stopped him.

"You're being quiet, it's none of your business, boss. We're just country bumpkins, please don't take offense," Qiao Si said to the man in the hat.

"No need, I've got it. Since this is your first time, I'll let you off this time. Money won't work next time. You can go now," the man in the hat said with a wave of his hand.

Qiao Si quickly led the indignant Li Zhengguang and Yao Yifei out of the police station.

After seeing Qiao Si and his gang leave, Mao Tou counted out 500 yuan from the 3000 yuan Qiao Si had given him and gave it to the person who had been beaten. He kept 2500 yuan for himself, making a small profit. He really knew how to play the game!

After leaving the police station, Li Zhengguang was furious. "Fourth Brother, it was just a minor head injury, and you're asking for an exorbitant amount! You shouldn't have given me that money."

"Zhengguang, if you don't give it to us, we'll be arrested and locked up for a couple of days. Money is earned by people; as long as we're alive, everything else is negotiable," Qiao Si said.

"Fourth Brother, that's too much. That official must have embezzled it." Li Zhengguang was still indignant.

Do you think I don't know how ruthless they are? There's nothing we can do; they just have that power. We ordinary folks can't fight them. It's no big deal. Losing money is better than getting into trouble. Stop thinking about it. We can earn more money later.

Fourth brother, it's all my fault. Consider this money a debt I owe you, and I will definitely pay you back in the future.

Zhengguang, what are you saying? Since you consider me a brother, let's not talk about money. The three of us will share the good times and the bad times together.

"Alright, let's put this behind us. Don't think about it anymore. Come on, I still have some money left. I'll take you guys out for some fun." Qiao Si said, pulling Yao Yifei and Li Zhengguang towards a karaoke bar.

Upon arriving at the karaoke bar, Qiao Si called out to the waiter, "Three girls, young and outgoing, money is no object."

"Alright, boss~" the waiter said and went out. A little while later, three heavily made-up, flirtatious young women came in.

The three young ladies, all smiling, each with their arms around one of the others, sat down next to Qiao Si, Yao Yifei, and Li Zhengguang.

Qiao Si and Yao Yifei were both old, and they would often go to a brothel to have some fun. They were used to these slutty women, and would sing while covering their droopy breasts with one hand and pinching their thighs with the other.

Li Zhengguang had never seen anything like this before. He was good at fighting, but he was no match for these big-breasted, curvy women. He was timid and hesitant, like a schoolboy, sitting obediently on the sofa with his legs tucked between his hands.

Next, how will the escort girl deal with Li Zhengguang's coy behavior? Stay tuned for the next episode.
