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

After hearing Xiao Ke's words, Qiao Si picked up a bottle of baijiu and stood up. He spoke first.

Since he's Xiao Ke's brother, he's my brother too. Come on, brother, let me toast you with a bottle first. I'll drink it all, you can do as you please.

As he spoke, Qiao Si unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and began to gulp down the drink.

When Yang Mantou saw this, he thought, "Damn it, this guy is going to have a drinking contest with me. How could I possibly lose?" Yang Mantou also picked up a bottle of baijiu and started drinking with Qiao Si as if it were a competition.

The two of them drank a bottle of baijiu almost at the same time. After putting down the bottle, Qiao Si said, "Boss Yang, as far as I know, you don't have any special relationship with that guy surnamed Du. It's just that he gave you 10,000 yuan to help him watch the place. How about I give you 20,000 yuan and you quit?"

Ah, Xiao Ke calls you Fourth Brother, so I'll call you Fourth Brother too. Fourth Brother, you're quite well-informed. Xiao Ke was there, and he was the one who organized the gathering. Well then, I won't keep you in suspense any longer.

"How about this, don't give me 20,000, just give me 10,000 and I'll quit. If I don't take a single penny, the underworld will laugh at me. This way, I'll take both and then quit, so even if people find out, they won't say anything about me," Yang Mantou said.

"Okay, that's great, but I can't give you the money right now. I promise to give you every penny after this project is finished. What do you think?" Qiao Si said to Yang Mantou.

"Damn, it's just ten thousand yuan, I'll cover it first." The wealthy and powerful Xiao Ke spoke up.

"Hey, Xiao Ke, no need. I trust you, so I trust Fourth Brother. Deal!" Yang Mantou agreed to Qiao Si's proposal.

After the deal was settled, Xiao Ke, Qiao Si, and Yang Mantou started drinking and bragging.

During the meal, Qiao Si said that he liked Shanghai the most and admired the big gangsters in Shanghai the most. He said that one day in Harbin, he would become the Huang Jinrong of Shanghai and the Xu Wenqiang of Shanghai.

Hearing Qiao Si bragging, Yang Mantou, who was meeting him for the first time, was disdainful. He thought to himself, "With your looks, you call yourself Huang Jinrong or Xu Wenqiang? You've got quite the nerve. You've even blown up the basket in your crotch with your bragging."

A few years later, Qiao Sizhen fulfilled his promise, and he wasn't just bragging. Unfortunately, he didn't have the peaceful end of Huang Jinrong, but only the early death of Xu Wenqiang.

With Xiao Ke's mediation, the matter was resolved. Some might say, "Isn't Xiao Ke just wasting his time? He doesn't get a penny out of it, so why is he getting involved?"

If you think that way, you're being short-sighted. Although Xiao Ke didn't get any benefits and even had to pay for a meal, both Qiao Si and Yang Mantou were grateful to him and remembered his kindness.

It's all about profit. Who would want to fight and kill each other? With Xiao Ke's actions, neither Qiao Si nor Yang Mantou's side resorted to violence, and they both got the benefits they wanted. Isn't all the credit to Xiao Ke? Sometimes, loyalty and righteousness are priceless.

The next day, Yang Mantou not only didn't go to Boss Du's construction site, but also called back the few underlings who were stationed there.

When Boss Du arrived at the construction site, he was shocked to find that Yang Mantou's men were nowhere to be seen. He was in deep trouble. He called over his men and asked, "Where are those guards surnamed Yang?"

"Boss, they said they went out to buy a pack of cigarettes, but they haven't come back yet," the younger brother replied.

"Damn it, that Qiao Si is coming today. Instead of keeping watch here, they went out to buy cigarettes. Go and call them back, and tell them to bring their boss too. What time is it? Fuck them!" Boss Du roared.

"Okay, I'll go right now." Just as Boss Du's underling was about to open the door and run out, the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and Boss Du's underling was kicked several meters away.

The newcomers were none other than Qiao Si, who arrived with Li Zhengguang, Ma Long, Yao Yifei, and more than ten of his henchmen.

The one who kicked down the door was Tiger-like Ma Long. Boss Du's henchman was lying on the ground clutching his stomach, howling in pain, unable to get up.

Mr. Du was startled and immediately stood up from his chair. "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? Boss Du, this is the third day. Do you want to leave standing up or lying down?" Li Zhengguang spoke first.

"Ah, we partners haven't discussed it yet. Could you give us a few more days?" Boss Du wanted to use delaying tactics.

"Give me a break, you son of a bitch!" Ma Long, who was at the front, grabbed an ashtray from the table and swung it at Boss Du's chin with a bang.

Two of Boss Du's teeth, stained with bright red blood, splattered from his mouth and rolled onto his desk.

At this moment, Boss Du's underlings from the construction site arrived, as they had been prepared beforehand.

Boss Du also had more than 20 workers on the construction site. He told the workers in advance that if Qiao Si and his gang really came to cause trouble, they should be beaten to death, and he would take responsibility for any injuries.

If they successfully drive them out, each person will receive a reward of 500 yuan in cash. Boss Du would rather keep the money to his own people than give away such a lucrative opportunity.

Boss Du let out a bloodcurdling scream, covering his bleeding mouth as he shouted, "Kill them! Kill them!"

At Boss Du's command, the workers who rushed to his office door, armed with iron pipes and other weapons, began a brawl with Qiao Si and his men.

The workers had two main concerns: first, they wanted to keep their jobs—if the construction site was taken over, where would they find work? Second, they were after the 500 yuan; they only earned a few yuan a day, so 500 yuan was incredibly tempting.

But soon they will pay a heavy price for their foolish actions. They are not dealing with ordinary thugs, but with Qiao Si's gang, which will become the most powerful gang in Bingcheng. They are all ruthless and willing to kill.

Seeing the workers make their move, Li Zhengguang, Ma Long, and Yao Yifei pulled out their daggers and stabbed the first few men at the front.

In an instant, he stabbed three workers to the ground. The three workers clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground, screaming in agony. Blood gushed from their stomachs and down their fingers, a truly gruesome sight.

Li Zhengguang, Ma Long, and Yao Yifei, holding blood-dripping daggers, pointed at the remaining workers and shouted, "Come on, those who aren't afraid to die, keep going!"

Seeing this, none of the other workers dared to rush forward. They had encountered a bunch of ruthless thugs. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and no one would dare to go and die.

"If you know what's good for you, get the hell out of here! This has nothing to do with you. Get the hell out of here!" Qiao Si roared.

Hearing Qiao Si's shout, the workers were startled. At that moment, they stopped thinking about their work and the 500 yuan. They quickly dropped the iron pipes they were holding, helped up the three injured people on the ground, and ran out of the construction site in a flash.

Now only Boss Du is left in the house. How will Qiao Si and the others deal with him? Stay tuned for the next episode.
