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

"Damn it, are you convinced or not? Still so arrogant?" Xiao Ke squatted down, grabbed Li's hair, and shouted at him.

Team Leader Li remained silent, glaring fiercely at Xiao Ke. He spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm onto Xiao Ke's face.

If you've got the guts, kill me today. As long as I, Li, have a breath left, I won't let you go.

Xiao Ke wiped the bloody phlegm off his face. He was a very clean person, and this disgusted him, making him furious.

Xiao Ke, holding the butt of his rifle, slammed it down on Li's mouth again. After five or six blows, he threw down the shotgun, reached out and grabbed one of Li's front teeth that had been hit, and snapped it off.

"Damn it, you're so stubborn! Today I'll teach you a lesson. Qinggang, give me the bomb," Xiao Ke ordered.

Wei Qinggang handed the homemade bomb to Xiao Ke, who lit a cigarette, lit the fuse, and then threw it as far as he could into the distance.

With a deafening roar, a deep crater was blasted into the road, startling the henchmen so much that they all crouched down, covering their heads.

Xiao Ke's explosion terrified Captain Li. Based on his years of experience in handling cases, he knew that Xiao Ke and his gang were not ordinary armed men, but desperate criminals who would do anything.

Captain Li, did you see that? What do you think would happen to your family if this bomb were dropped on your house?

Upon hearing Xiao Ke's threat, Captain Li's gaze was no longer defiant; now it was filled with fear.

What do you want?

I don't want anything. We've always kept to ourselves, but you had to get involved. I hate you bunch of people in sheep's clothing who act all high and mighty every day.

They keep saying they're doing this and that, but they're all just looking out for themselves. We gangsters value loyalty, but you guys don't care about anything, you're the most ruthless, you don't do anything worthwhile, all you do is flatter your superiors and bully your subordinates, you bunch of scum.

Today I'm doing this to myself, but more importantly, to avenge those you've bullied. Damn it, prostitutes are all children from poor families, and you got to have your turn. You got all the good things, but you got to do all the bad things.

"I'll ask you one more time, do you submit or not?" Xiao Ke asked.

"I give up, I give up, I'm completely convinced. I'll never dare to cause you any more trouble again." Captain Li completely admitted defeat.

Xiao Ke stood up abruptly, striking a haughty pose. "Listen up, you all! My name is Xiao Ke. If any of you disagree, come find me in the city. I'll be waiting anytime. I'll let you go today, but if there's a next time, I'll cripple you all, leaving no one alive. Let's go!" With that, Xiao Ke waved his hand and led his henchmen away.

After seeing that Xiao Ke and the others had gone quite a distance, Yu Yongbo's uninjured underlings slowly stood up and quickly took Yu Yongbo, Captain Li, and the other injured people to the hospital.

After the battle at Hulan River, Yu Yongbo, the top dog of Hulan, was completely defeated by Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke's reputation soared. He used more than 20 people to fight against more than 100 people, and without hurting a single person, he defeated the opponent and made them run away in a rout. How damn awesome is that?

Those who love to gossip spread increasingly exaggerated tales about Xiao Ke and his men's battle at Hulan River.

Have you heard? Yesterday, Xiao Ke took more than 20 people to Hulan and took down more than 100 people.

Huh? Really? It's that Brainy Guy who runs the casino? Is he that awesome?

Damn, you didn't even know that? You're still in the underworld? I heard that Little Ke even dislocated a hat-wearing guy's arm and pulled out all his teeth by hand.

"Holy crap, that takes so much strength! Pulling a tooth out with your bare hands?" A thug exclaimed, trying to pull out his own tooth with his bare hands.

Not only was Xiao Ke ruthless, but I heard that his brother-in-law, whose name is something like Xu, ate the ears of 10 people raw. He would bite them off from other people's heads and eat them, even dipping them in wasabi.

Upon hearing this, the thugs unconsciously touched their ears, their hearts skipping a beat.

"And then there's Xiao Ke's three musketeers. That Wang Zhi kicked open the baskets of more than 20 people, that Gangzi pierced the anuses of more than 30 people, and that Guang Yue cut off more than 40 fingers. They're fucking ruthless." A thug spouted nonsense, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

The news of Xiao Ke's affair spread like wildfire throughout the city, eventually reaching Qiao Si's ears. Qiao Si was already quite powerful, having secured several large demolition projects in a row, and now no one dared to compete with their Longhua Company for work.

Although Qiao Si has only recently made a name for himself, good things come to those who wait. Now everyone in the underworld knows that there is a powerful Brother Si, and most people don't dare to mess with him easily.

That day, Qiao Si brought Li Zhengguang and Ma Long to Xiao Ke's casino.

When Xiao Ke saw Qiao Si arrive, he quickly stood up and said, "Oh, Brother Si is here! What brings you here? Sit down, sit down."

"Damn it, what wind is this? The whole city is buzzing with your little Ke's winds now. Everyone knows about your battle at Hulan River." Qiao Si chuckled as he sat down and lit a cigarette.

Fourth Brother, don't listen to the nonsense outside. I'm a god, that powerful.

No sooner had Xiao Ke finished speaking than a clattering sound was heard. Before seeing the person, one could hear the sound and know without looking that it was Hao the Cripple from the double crutches in the village.

"Brother Ke, Brother Ke, you're really something this time!" Hao the Cripple said as he pushed open the door, followed by Ma Dianlong and Gun Dao.

"Holy crap, Fourth Brother, Zheng Guang is here too! What a coincidence!" Hao the Cripple said after seeing Qiao Si.

"Damn, it's quite lively today. You've been blown in by the wind from outside too?" Qiao Si said to Hao the Cripple with a smile.

Wow, that guy Ke is really awesome. He beat them so badly they didn't dare utter a sound. The news has spread all over the place. Hao the Cripple put his crutch aside and sat down.

Just as Hao the Cripple sat down, the door to Xiao Ke's office opened again. Who was it? Yang Mantou entered with Wang Shuhuai and Liu Guoqing.

"Hey, everyone's here, Fourth Brother, Cripple," Yang Mantou greeted.

When Xiao Ke saw this, he thought, "Holy crap, everyone's here! It's true what they say, fame brings trouble. Now that he's famous, people from all walks of life are flocking to him."

No sooner had Yang Mantou arrived than the door to Xiao Ke's office opened again. Everyone looked up and saw Xiao Fei leading Zhang Xiaobo and Lu Qiang in.

Xiao Fei knew Yang Mantou and Hao Quezi, but this was his first time meeting Qiao Si. He was wearing a top hat and acting nonchalant. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Damn, all the brothers are here!"

At this moment, Li Zhengguang, who was behind Qiao Si, glanced at Xiao Fei and their eyes met. Li Zhengguang felt disgusted by Xiao Fei's arrogant look. Their first meeting laid the groundwork for their future confrontation, which will be discussed in more detail later.

This was the first gathering of the five most powerful gangs in Harbin at the time. What will happen to them next? Stay tuned for the next episode.
