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

Seeing Xiao Ke walk up to him, Li Zhengguang snatched the butcher knife from Qiao Si's hand and slashed at Xiao Ke's skull.

Just as he said, Xiao Ke didn't back down an inch or even blink.

At this critical moment, Qiao Si grabbed Li Zhengguang's wrist, stopping his knife in mid-air.

Li Zhengguang acted rashly, but Qiao Si remained calm. As the eldest brother, he couldn't just stand by and watch his brother cause a death over such a trivial matter.

"Zhengguang, that's enough. I think this brother is a real man. Leave some room for maneuver. Let's leave this matter here," Qiao Si said to Li Zhengguang.

"Fourth Brother, I can't swallow this!" Li Zhengguang shouted.

At this moment, Hao the Cripple walked over on a single crutch. This whole thing started because of him, and he couldn't just sit idly by.

Zhengguang, look, we don't need to go to such lengths just to play a few hands of cards. I'll pay you back whatever you lost, and that'll be it. Come on, guys, I'll treat you all to drinks. Let's forget about it over a drink." Hao the Cripple pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, didn't even count it, and stuffed it into Li Zhengguang's hand.

It has to be said that money is a wonderful thing. As soon as Hao the Cripple stuffed the money into Li Zhengguang's hands, Li Zhengguang's anger instantly subsided by more than half.

Xiao Ke also realized that Qiao Si and Li Zhengguang were no ordinary people. It's best to befriend people like them rather than make enemies with them, because they might actually take your life in secret sometime.

"It's my treat, it's my treat. They say you can't be friends without a fight. Come on, I'll take care of everything today. Let's all become friends." After saying that, Xiao Ke whispered in Wang Zhi's ear, "Cousin, go back and get some money. I'll be waiting for you at Linlin Dance Hall."

After understanding, Wang Zhi went back to get the money. Qiao Si, Li Zhengguang, and Yao Yifei were half-pushed and half-pulled to Linlin Dance Hall. At this time, Wang Zhi also returned with the money and handed the bag containing the money to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke led his group to the dance hall. By then, Xiao Ke and Hao the Cripple had already made quite a name for themselves. When the manager saw them arrive, he trotted over and said with a fawning smile, "Oh, Brother Ke, Brother Hao is here. Please come in, please come in."

The manager led them into the largest private room in the dance hall. After everyone was seated, the manager asked, "Brother Ke, Brother Hao, what would you like to drink?"

Without even glancing at it, Xiao Ke pulled out 30,000 yuan from his bag, threw it on the table, and said domineeringly, "Bring me your best wine and best girls. I'm meeting some new guys today, so treat them well."

The manager's eyes lit up. "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll be right there." With that, the manager grabbed the money and ran out.

Hao the Cripple and his gang were not surprised by Xiao Ke's actions, because they knew that Xiao Ke was rich. He owned both casinos and clothing stores, both of which were very lucrative businesses, and he was very wealthy.

Qiao Si, Li Zhengguang, and Yao Yifei had no idea about Xiao Ke's background; at this time, they were still surviving on the bones that the tiger threw to them.

The group of people didn't even have more than ten thousand yuan in total. Plus, some of them gambled and others frequented brothels, leaving them with hardly any money. Otherwise, after Hao the Cripple gave Li Zhengguang some money, his anger would have subsided by more than half. In the end, they were still poor.

When Qiao Si and Li Zhengguang saw Xiao Ke casually toss 30,000 yuan, their hearts skipped a beat. They thought to themselves, "This guy is really rich. Is he a rich second-generation?"

Just as Qiao Si and his group were wondering what was going on, the door to the private room opened, and a group of waiters carried Rémy Martin, red wine, and various other spirits and liquors onto the table. Just by looking at the bottles, they looked very high-end, and the table was filled to the brim.

Then a bunch of girls around eighteen or nineteen years old came in, each with a curvy figure, wearing short white skirts that reached their hips, showing off their white thighs, and their faces were so tender that you could feel water coming out if you pinched them.

For Qiao Si and his gang, who were used to going to hair salons and dealing with middle-aged women, these girls were like Lin Daiyu falling from the sky. The visual impact was enormous, and their hormones instantly surged, making them feel like they were about to explode at the slightest touch.

After the male waiters finished setting out the drinks, they all left. The remaining manager smiled and asked, "Brother Ke, Brother Hao, these are all newcomers. Their skills are top-notch. Want to pick one?"

"Come on, brothers, which one do you think is better?" Xiao Ke said to Qiao Si, Li Zhengguang, and Yao Yifei.

At this moment, Qiao Si, Li Zhengguang, and Yao Yifei were completely overwhelmed by the dazzling array of choices. Even if they stared with their eyes wide open, they still couldn't make heads or tails of it, because they all seemed so good and so young.

Xiao Ke could tell that Qiao Si and his group were now in a state of panic, so he said to the manager, "No need to pick anymore, keep them all, you can go about your business."

Upon hearing this, the manager smiled knowingly, turned and ran out, slamming the door shut. He also instructed two waiters to stand guard at the door and prevent anyone from entering, so as not to disturb their patron.

After the manager left, Xiao Ke took out a wad of cash from his pocket, threw it into the air, and said, "Don't just stand there like idiots, come over here and stick it on yourselves. You'd all be generous with your money."

The women, their large breasts heaving, started grabbing the money, each clutching a handful. They were plump and smiling as they pounced on Xiao Ke and his friends.

The huge private room instantly turned into a den of iniquity. Some were drinking from the same cup, some were kissing and touching, and some skipped all the steps and directly wanted the prostitutes to have sex with them.

Xiao Ke and his friends had already drunk a lot, and by this time they were practically drunk. Xiao Ke pushed aside the two girls next to Qiao Si, put his arm around Qiao Si's shoulder, and started bragging.

I heard others call you Fourth Brother, so I'll call you Fourth Brother too. Fourth... Fourth Brother, I, Xiao Ke, may not have any other skills, but I'm absolutely good at judging people. As soon as I saw your face, I knew you were extraordinary. You're sure to achieve great things in the future. If you ever need my help, just ask.

I wonder if, years later, at the moment Xiao Ke was executed, he ever felt a pang of regret, thinking that he shouldn't have met that bastard back then.

Qiao Si wasn't actually drunk. He saw that Xiao Ke was so rich and sophisticated, and he wanted to befriend such a wealthy man.

Qiao Si put his arm around Xiao Ke and said, "Brother, we became friends after our fight. Although it's the first day we met, I can tell that you are a very loyal and principled person. I've decided to be your brother. Come on, let me toast you."

After Qiao Si finished speaking, he and Xiao Ke drank the wine in their glasses. Xiao Ke mumbled again, "Fourth...Fourth Brother, let your brother have as much fun as he wants. Let him play as much as he wants. Damn it, it's just money. We have plenty of money."

After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he reached into his bag to take out money again, but Qiao Si stopped him. "Alright, alright, brother, we can't waste money like this. We've already given them enough."

So, you're not giving it to me?

No more, no more.

Let's keep drinking, keep going! Life's all about having fun, right? Come on, brothers, let's get this party started!

As Xiao Ke spoke, he stood up and began to sway freely.

And so, Qiao Si, Xiao Ke, and Hao the Cripple became friends. What will happen between them next? Stay tuned for the next episode.
