Chapter 26:
Three days after arriving in the North, I bid farewell to my grandfather, visited my parents, and then boarded a plane to H City, one of the three major cities in the North and the capital of a province. The city exudes a fierce atmosphere. As one of the country's heavy industrial bases, its economy, while not as developed as the coastal areas, is still quite good. However, it's not easy to manage. The reason is simple: the people of Northeast China are known for their toughness, and gangs are not uncommon. Social order is not good, making management difficult, and sometimes chaotic.
My uncle became mayor ten years ago. Although the location remains the same, his status is completely different. With the Li family's influence and the full support of the Northern Military Region, my uncle is practically all-powerful here; calling him a local tyrant wouldn't be an exaggeration. However, his legitimate career has temporarily come to an end. He's been in this position for three years without any sign of promotion, all because of the Liu family.
If the military is the territory of the Li family, then the political arena is undoubtedly the territory of the Liu family. As two of the three great families in China, the Liu family is invincible in the officialdom, with its protégés and former officials all over the country. Liu family members hold many important positions. It can be said that if the head of the Liu family sneezes, the entire Chinese political arena will tremble. The Liu family has always regarded the political arena as their private land. They may tolerate others wielding power in the political arena, but they absolutely cannot tolerate a member of the Li family entering the center of power. The reason is simple: the Li family is too powerful. If we were to enter, it would be like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Therefore, despite my uncle's outstanding political achievements, he has always been suppressed to the point that he cannot make any moves in H city and can only consolidate his power within H province.
With the roar of the plane, I finally arrived in H City in the north. It was September, nearing autumn, and the weather was already quite cool. I disembarked alone. As for Youyue, I left her in Shanghai. The reason was simple: I felt I hadn't spent enough time with my mother these past few years, and although her bodyguards were strong, I couldn't fully trust them. So, I left Youyue behind to help protect my mother and to fulfill my filial duty. After all, I felt no one was more suitable than Youyue.
"Excuse me, are you Young Master Li?" As soon as I stepped out of the airport terminal, I saw a young man in his thirties, dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, approach me and ask respectfully. "
And you are?" I asked, puzzled. I didn't recognize him at all, but I could sense he meant me no harm. Otherwise, I would have already prepared my killing move to take him down at any moment. After all, my three years as an assassin hadn't been for nothing.
"Oh, Mr. Li, hello. I'm Secretary Li's secretary, you can just call me Xiao Zhang. The secretary originally said he would come to pick you up personally, but he couldn't come due to some unforeseen circumstances, so he sent me instead." Upon seeing my reaction, the young man called Xiao Zhang's smile widened, and he warmly extended his left hand to me.
After shaking hands with Xiao Zhang, I smiled back and said casually, "It's alright. May we go now?"
"Of course, please follow me. The car is over there." Xiao Zhang quickly and respectfully said to me. After speaking, he led the way to a gleaming silver-black Audi A6, opened the door for me, and then told the driver to start driving.
After half an hour of winding roads, we finally arrived at a villa near the outskirts of H city. Xiao Zhang rang the doorbell, and a beautiful middle-aged woman opened the door. She paused for a moment upon seeing me, then greeted me warmly, "Tianxie, you've finally arrived! Your aunt has missed you so much! Come, come in!"
Yes, this was my uncle's wife, my aunt. She had always been very kind to me, and her enthusiasm and excitement at my arrival were palpable. I knew that because she had no son of her own, she doted on me, treating me like her own son. Our relationship was naturally very close.
My aunt ushered me into the house, and Xiao Zhang and the others took their leave. Besides a few servants, there was no one else in the house. My aunt poured me a cup of hot tea and sat down opposite me, saying kindly, "Oh, time flies! Tianxie has changed so much in the past six months, even more charming now. I wonder how many girls will be heartbroken for you in the future."
"Hehe, Aunt, you're joking," I said, my face slightly flushed.
"Hehe, I'm not joking, I'm serious. Your cousin said the same thing. I really don't know why Grandpa arranged for you to go to Beiyuan High School. It's not bad, but it's not that great either. How about this, when your uncle comes back, I'll have him ask someone from the Education Bureau to arrange something better for you?" My aunt said to me with a smile. The cousin she was referring to was none other than her and my uncle's daughter, Li Tianqi, who is now 20 years old. She went to the United States last year, apparently studying business administration there, but I didn't care. Anyway, with my third uncle there, nothing bad will happen to her. I was extremely glad that I didn't get to see her this time, after all, she's my nemesis. Seeing her never brings good things. I used to avoid her. It's a good thing she's not here.
"Hehe, Tianxie is here?" Just then, the door opened again, and a handsome middle-aged man in his forties with a refined air walked in. This was my uncle, Li Suifeng. When my uncle saw me here, he immediately greeted me happily. I suppose Xiao Zhang had already informed me of my arrival.
"Yes, Uncle, hello." I greeted him warmly.
"Hmm, good lad, you've grown even more handsome now, hehe. I've heard about your affairs from Dad. You're always causing trouble. Don't do things like that again. You can stay at my house this time, so we can look after each other. But you have to behave yourself in the future and not do such risky things again." Uncle said with a smile.
"No, Uncle, I think you understand what Grandpa means. He wants me to live a normal life. I think I'll pass on staying here with you. Just arrange a house for me, and I'll live on my own." I said with a laugh. What a joke! If I really lived here, would I be able to live? Where would my freedom be? You're just like Grandpa, I don't want to make myself suffer.
"Well, in that case, alright then. I'll have Xiao Zhang find you a house tomorrow, and then take you to Beiyuan High School to register." My uncle paused for a moment after hearing my words, then nodded. My aunt seemed about to say something, but was stopped by my uncle's gaze.

Chapter 027 Kitahara High
School Kitahara High School is one of the more famous high schools in H City. It's not because of its high educational level or the excellence of its students, but because it's so chaotic, so chaotic that it's a major headache. Kitahara High School's educational level is considered first-class in H City, not the best, but still quite good. However, its location is very complicated. The population of the northern district of H City is very diverse, with a large number of transient residents. The society is inherently unstable, and some streets are very wealthy, so many gangs have gathered here. The public security here is arguably the most chaotic in the entire H City. Therefore, Kitahara High School, located here, is not peaceful either. Fortunately, although Kitahara is not the best in H City, it is still a key high school. Ordinary people don't usually cause trouble here. However, the local people are quite tough, and there are wealthy children, children of officials, and many more children from ordinary families. So, fights often occur here, drawing attention. If it weren't for Kitahara High School's excellent college entrance examination pass rate, it probably would have lost its status as a key high school long ago.
"Young Master Li, Beiyuan High School is just ahead." Early in the morning, Xiao Zhang took me to the house my uncle had arranged for me, and then we arrived at Beiyuan High School. Looking at the bustling crowds around us, Xiao Zhang, sitting in the car, pointed to a school not far away and said to me.
"Okay, everything's been explained?" I nodded and asked Xiao Zhang.
"Alright, as you wished, I've already spoken to their principal in the name of Secretary Li and asked them to keep it a secret. No one will know your identity. The principal has already spoken to their homeroom teacher. You just need to register. Class 3, Grade 1," Xiao Zhang said respectfully to me.
"Okay, fine. Find a secluded place to park the car. I'll go in myself," I said casually. A moment later, a car with a provincial party committee license plate pulled up by the roadside. I got out, carrying a single-strap shoulder bag, dressed in black casual wear, and touched my bangs as I walked towards the school not far away.
"Hello, teacher, I'm a new student. My name is Li Tianxie." I entered the school amidst the curious glances of a group of people. Although I tried my best to be low-key, I couldn't help it because I'm too handsome. Seeing the infatuated looks from the girls, I gave what I thought was a very charming smile and walked into the school. I found Class 4, Grade 1 and saw a balding middle-aged teacher in his forties smiling at me from the podium.
"Wow...look how handsome he is..."
"Yeah, he's absolutely gorgeous..."
"Oh my god, my Prince Charming has appeared! God bless him!" The girls screamed excitedly.
"Hmph, what's so great about him? He's just a good-for-nothing," one of the boys said dismissively.
I didn't miss a single word they said, just smiled indifferently, and stood there with a smile, waiting for the teacher's words. After all, I'm a civilized person, I can't be impolite.
"Ah, Tianxie, hello, hello, I'm your homeroom teacher, Hu Han. The principal has already given instructions about your matter. Come on, find a seat, tell me which seat you like," homeroom teacher Hu Han greeted me warmly.
Looking at this guy, with his bloated belly, bald head, and obsequious smile, I couldn't help but think that this Hu Han should have a third character added to his name, becoming Hu Hansan (Hu the Third). He was practically a traitor! But I wasn't bothered by such people. I still smiled and said to Hu Han, "Teacher, just sit anywhere. I see the last seat seems empty, I'll sit there."
I pointed to the last seat in the classroom, and with Hu Han's beaming smile, I walked to the last seat and sat down. Then, the whole class erupted in a disappointed and angry murmur. Many boys gave me gloating looks, as if to say, "You're doomed."
"Teacher, I'm sorry I'm late." Halfway through our class, a beautiful blonde girl rushed in, flustered. She was exceptionally beautiful, with a round face, slightly chubby, and incredibly smooth skin. Her figure was striking; her breasts seemed about to burst out of her clothes. She wore a pink tank top, light blue denim shorts, black stockings, and silver flat shoes—a perfectly coordinated outfit that accentuated her stunning figure. A hint of allure shone through her innocent face. The only thing I didn't like was her heavy makeup; it wasn't my type.
"Okay, Qin Ziying, go sit down," Hu Han said casually, glancing at Qin Ziying at the door. He then ignored her and continued the lesson. The students around her didn't react much, except for a group of boys who were leering at her. Clearly, this wasn't the first time this girl named Qin Ziying had been late.
Qin Ziying walked straight to my side, gave me a surprised look, and then sat down next to me. She took out a few books from the drawer next to me and began to listen attentively to the lesson, her expression very serious, without any distraction.

Chapter 28 Beauty Saves the Hero
The class ended so quickly, and I found it very boring. After all, I knew all of this when I was ten years old, and I couldn't find anything worth learning. So I was very bored, just looking around, occasionally glancing at the blonde beauty next to me.
"Are you bored? You were just looking around the whole class." After class, Qin Ziying, who was sitting next to me, said to me in a flat tone, with a hint of displeasure.
"Hehe, there's nothing to learn, so I didn't listen." I said with a smile, but just as I was about to say something, our table was surrounded. A group of boys with hungry expressions surrounded Qin Ziying, while I became the center of attention surrounded by a group of girls.
"Tianxie, which school did you go to before?"
"Tianxie, where are you from?"
"Tianxie, how old are you? Your skin is so good, how do you take care of it?" A group of women surrounded me, shouting and yelling at me. This bunch of infatuated girls was giving me a headache. I gave a curt reply and walked out of the crowd alone, only returning after class.
This situation continued all morning until noon, when I finally escaped my ordeal. But as I walked out of the classroom, I was stopped. Four or five arrogant, menacing guys, their faces clearly screaming "I'm a thug," blocked my way. One of them, a crew-cut boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing jeans and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, said to me, "Are you Li Tianxie?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" I said with a smile.
"Come with me, Brother Coyote has something to talk to you about," the crew-cut boy said.
"I'm not interested." After glancing at these guys, I gave a disdainful smile, pushed them aside, and walked out.
"Kid, you want to die?" The crew-cut guy clearly didn't expect me to do this, and immediately became angry, throwing his cigarette butt on the ground and angrily saying, reaching out to hit me. But at this moment, a clear and melodious voice rang out: "Stop."
Hearing this, not only me but also the crew-cut guys turned around and saw Qin Ziying standing at the door, looking at the crew-cut guys and the others with a slightly angry expression. Then she continued, "Go back and tell Coyote not to cause trouble for my classmate, or I'll tell Brother Tiger."
"You... okay, I'll go tell Brother Coyote." The crew-cut guy wanted to say something, but then seemed to remember something, immediately changed his words, and just gave me a hateful look before leaving.
"Thank you." Watching the departing figures of those guys, I looked at the girl in front of me with interest and smiled.
"Don't be so arrogant in the future, otherwise I might help you once but not twice. So you'd better be careful. It's best to have your family pick you up tonight, or take a detour. Coyote is the boss of this school, very famous in the area, with many men under his command. Moreover, his brother Wild Wolf is a hall master of the Tiger Gang, so it's best not to provoke him." Qin Ziying glanced at me and said indifferently, then ignored my reaction and left.
Watching Qin Ziying's departing figure, I revealed a playful smile. I laughed as I watched her walk away. This school is really interesting, and the most interesting thing is this Qin Ziying, whom I can't figure out.

Chapter 029 The Foolish Robber
The day passed uneventfully. Qin Ziying didn't come to school in the afternoon, and I spent the afternoon sleeping until school was over.
"Come out, hehe, quite a few people have come. Now that there's no one around, it's convenient to do anything. Don't hide anymore." I walked alone into a small alley, lit a cigarette for myself, and said indifferently.
"Kid, you're pretty arrogant. You know we're following you, yet you still dare to come here. I think you've got a death wish." The same guy with the buzz cut from noon was now looking at me arrogantly, twirling a small knife in his hand, though his skills were lacking. Behind him were about twenty people, but judging from their attire, they were probably all students.
"Buzz cut, get out of the way. I'll talk to this kid." At this moment, a young man with a scar on his face and dark green hair stepped forward, shoving the buzz cut guy aside, and then looking at me with a mocking expression.
"Kid, not bad, you've got guts, daring to talk to us like that. Do you think you can take on many of us by yourself? I have dozens of brothers here, each with a knife, we can chop you into mincemeat. Aren't you scared?" the green-haired guy said playfully.
"Afraid? Afraid of what? You think you can scare me? Heh, that's a joke. But I'd like to know why you're bothering me. This is my first day at school, and I don't think I've had any conflict with you." I continued smoking, exhaling a puff of smoke as I spoke to the group in front of me.
"Hmph, why? Well, I'll let you die knowing why. Qin Ziying is my woman, Coyote's woman. Talking to her is offending me. And do you know why the seat next to her is always empty? Let me tell you, it's because Coyote is here and no one dares to sit there. But you dare to sit next to her, clearly disrespecting me. If I don't teach you a lesson, who will? And that bitch actually went to see Tiger for you. Hmph, she's not just anyone to you, so you deserve to die even more." Coyote said to me with a ferocious expression, which made me quite annoyed. I was just sitting there and they were already causing me trouble. Seriously, I had to teach them a lesson.
"Enough with the nonsense, come on." After the coyote finished speaking, I flashed forward and punched him. Although I didn't use my inner strength, the punch was enough to paralyze him. Then I grabbed the short-haired guy next to the coyote, spun him around 180 degrees, and threw him to the ground. Afterwards, I looked at the group of panicked and terrified kids with a mocking expression and said, "What? Still want to fight?"
"No...no more fighting." One of the kids said to me in fear.
"Then why aren't you leaving?" I looked at them and couldn't be bothered with them. They had no guts at all; they were just a bunch of trash. I didn't even want to talk to them.
"Go...go, hurry up and leave." The kid who had spoken earlier was overjoyed when he heard my words and immediately led the way and ran out. Then there was a "crackling" sound of blades hitting the ground, and the twenty-odd people had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Damn, that's really disloyal. Luckily, it wasn't my underlings." Looking at the mess on the ground, I shook my head and said disdainfully. Then, ignoring the two guys lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, I left. Whether they were dead or alive, I didn't care. It was no big deal for the young master of the Li family to kill two people.
"Stop! Kid, you're robbing me!" It was already past nine o'clock, and I was about to go home when suddenly two figures jumped out from the roadside, brandishing gleaming knives and glaring at me menacingly. Looking at these two, I sighed at the poor security in the North District of H City, and also wondered how there could be so many people in this world who didn't know their own limits.
"Are you sure you want to rob me? But why didn't you say anything? You don't seem like robbers at all." I looked at these two stupid robbers and pretended to be confused.
"Wh...what, lines?" One of the robbers, a short and fat one, stammered at me. Judging from their appearance, they were probably first-time robbers, otherwise they wouldn't be so unprofessional.
“You should say, ‘Hey, this mountain is mine, this road is mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!’ Haven’t you seen how it’s portrayed on TV?” I said jokingly.
“Yes…yes…this…mountain…is…mine, this…this…road…is…mine…” The fat man stammered, looking as if he had just realized something. But when he was halfway through his sentence, his companion slapped him on the head and yelled, “Are you an idiot? This kid is playing us!” Then he
turned to me and said, “Kid, we just want your money, we don’t want to hurt anyone. Just hand over the money. To be honest, this is my first time being a robber, and I’m really short of money right now, otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this. Hand over the money and I’ll let you go.”
"Oh? Judging from your appearance, you must have trained for a few years. You must have been in the army, right? Hehe, a special forces soldier, how did you end up like this?" I said, my smile fading as I looked at the man speaking. This man gave me a very special feeling. His eyes weren't as cloudy as the fat man next to him; they were very clear, and they shone with a wise light. His bulging muscles and upright posture all proved his excellence, and I could vaguely sense a murderous aura about him. I was certain that the man in front of me had killed people, and more than one, otherwise he wouldn't have such a murderous aura.
"You... how do you know that my brother Tie Jun was in the army? Let me tell you, brother Tie Jun is really powerful... hurry... hurry up and take out the money... otherwise we won't be polite." The tall, burly man was about to speak when the fat man next to him spoke first, looking smug at me. Although his tone was a little stuttering, it at least told me that my guess was correct.
"Heh, I really don't understand. How could someone like you bring such an idiot along? I really don't know what you were thinking." I said mockingly to the man in front of me. To be honest, I was genuinely puzzled. If someone like him really wanted to rob someone, why bring this kid along? He's just a burden. I bet he would have been much better off doing it alone.

Chapter 30 The Down-on-His-Luck Soldier
"It's none of your business." The man paused for a moment before coldly saying to me. As he finished speaking, he was already preparing to attack me, but he sheathed his dagger before doing so. It seemed he was prepared to subdue me with his bare hands, so he wasn't too bad-hearted.
"Heh, so you want to resort to violence just because you can't win an argument? But I'd like to advise you to think carefully before you do it. Since I dare to speak to you like this, do you think I'm afraid of you?" I found the guy in front of me increasingly amusing and said to him with a smile.
"Hmph, I, Zhou Tiejun, served in the army for seven years, and I've killed countless drug lords and thugs. I've never known fear. Although I'm down on my luck today, I won't be afraid of your words. I'm truly sorry, but I wouldn't do this if I didn't desperately need the money. Don't worry, I won't hurt you; at most, I'll knock you unconscious." A hint of pain and determination appeared on Zhou Tiejun's honest face as he spoke to me.
"Then, come on," I said with a smile.
"Alright, take this!" Zhou Tiejun roared and charged forward, throwing a heavy punch at me with the force of a thousand pounds, aiming straight for my shoulder. At that moment, the punch transformed into a claw, seemingly intending to subdue me. However, I simply flicked my wrist, channeling a trace of internal force, and with a powerful flick of my wrist, sent Zhou Tiejun flying several meters away. I had held back, preventing him from being injured.
"No... impossible... how is this possible?" Zhou Tiejun stood up, staring at me in disbelief.
“Nothing is impossible. There are many things in this world that you can’t understand. Hehe, don’t think that just because you’re a top fighter in the military, you’re invincible outside.” I said to Zhou Tiejun with a smile. I was very satisfied with his appearance. Such a person might be a good helper. That’s why I showed him this skill. The purpose was simple: to win someone over, you must first completely overwhelm them in their mind.
"I failed. You can leave now. I admit defeat today. However, I desperately need money. I'll come find you once I've raised enough. Give me your address, and I, Zhou Tiejun, will be at your disposal." Zhou Tiejun was quite straightforward, speaking directly to me in this situation. He wasn't an ordinary person; although he was in the military, as he said, he had personally eliminated numerous drug lords and villains. Therefore, he naturally understood that his failure today would come at a price.
"You desperately need money? Can you tell me why?" I took out a cigarette case, lit one for myself, and offered one to each of them.
"My brother is sick, very seriously ill, but I don't have the money to treat him. So I desperately need money right now. I know this won't end well after I lost to you today, so I hope you'll give me some time to raise the money for my brother's treatment. At that time, you can do whatever you want with me; I, Zhou Tiejun, won't hesitate." Zhou Tiejun took a puff of his cigarette and said to me earnestly.
"Hehe, which hospital is your brother in, and what's his name?" I asked with a smile.
Zhou Tiejun looked at me for a moment and then said, "The First People's Hospital, Zhou Tiexiong."
"Hello, Xiao Zhang? This is Li Tianxie. I need your help. A friend of mine is hospitalized at the First People's Hospital. His name is Zhou Tiexiong. I need your help to put in a good word with the hospital and ask them to take good care of him. As for the medical expenses, I'll pay them later." Seeing Zhou Tiejun's somewhat doubtful look, I smiled and took out my phone, dialed Xiao Zhang's number, and said to him.
After hanging up, I smiled and said to Zhou Tiejun, "Okay, now your brother is fine. My friend is on his way. You don't need to worry about the hospital fees. I guarantee your brother will be cured."
"Really?" Zhou Tiejun looked at me with disbelief, his hands excitedly and unconsciously grabbing my hands.
"Hehe, do you think I need to lie to you?" I said noncommittally, looking at Zhou Tiejun.
"Thank you... thank you. From now on, my life, Zhou Tiejun's life, is yours. I'll obey your every command without hesitation, even if it means going through fire and water." Zhou Tiejun said excitedly to me, clearly showing how important his younger brother was to him.
"Yes... yes. And my... Da Bao." The silly little fat boy, Da Bao, echoed Zhou Tiejun's excitement.
"Hehe, going through fire and water isn't that serious. Let's find a place to talk." I said to Zhou Tiejun with a smile.
"Okay." Zhou Tiejun agreed without hesitation. Then, the three of us—Zhou Tiejun, Da Bao, and I—went to a small restaurant, sat down, ordered two small dishes and a bottle of baijiu, and started chatting.
"Can you tell me how you ended up like this? With your skills, you'd be considered a pretty good fighter in the army. Why aren't you in the army anymore?" After taking a sip of wine, I asked Zhou Tiexiong, who was sitting across from me, looking somewhat reserved and very respectful. Da Bao, sitting at another table, was almost completely ignored. This kid was eating like crazy. Looking at him, I couldn't help but think of the legendary Marshal Tianpeng, Zhu Bajie. He was even more like Zhu Bajie than Zhu Bajie. Even Zhu Bajie wasn't this exaggerated. He was practically devouring food like a whirlwind. He ate non-stop, making me feel a little ashamed. If I hadn't told the owner beforehand to take whatever food he wanted, the two of us would probably be busy ordering food for him.
"Sigh. I used to be a company commander in the Northwest Military Region's Special Forces Brigade, doing pretty well. My younger brother, Tie Xiong, was also a soldier there. Everything was going well until one day when my brother was on leave, he encountered a show-off thug harassing a female student in the street. My brother and I got angry and taught him a lesson, but unfortunately, we also got seriously injured because of it." Zhou Tiejun took a sip of wine and slammed down his glass, saying dejectedly.
"What, regretting it?" I laughed.
"Regret? Hmph, I've never regretted it, Young Master Tianxie. I know you're no ordinary person. Today you saved my brother's life, and from now on, my life is yours. There's nothing to hide. It's just that I'm still angry." Zhou Tiejun said with a sorrowful expression.
"What happened next?"
"Later? Later we found out that because of us, that boastful brat sent people to gang rape and kill that female student. We were also discharged from the military and sent back to our hometown. Then we realized that we had offended someone powerful. We traveled from the Northwest to the Central Plains, and we didn't even have a chance to eat. We couldn't find any kind of work. Even if we went to work as laborers, we would be inexplicably fired the next day. In the end, we couldn't survive, so we had to go north. But we still couldn't find a bite to eat here. Fortunately, Da Bao took us in, but he wasn't having an easy time either. This time, my brother fell ill, and I really couldn't think of any other way, so I did this." A tear of sorrow rolled down Zhou Tiejun's cheek as he spoke painfully, as if protesting the injustice of the world. So, a man doesn't easily shed tears, only when he is deeply hurt. Now it seems that the grievances and pain that Zhou Tiejun has suffered these days are extraordinary.

Chapter 31 The Ice Mirror Meeting
"So that's how it is. It seems you've offended someone quite powerful. It looks like they're planning to torture you both to death. But it's a pity they didn't expect you to run into me. From now on, you'll follow me. I want to see who dares to harm my men. By the way, what's the name of that arrogant young man you beat up?" I asked, toying with my wine glass after taking a sip.
"It seems his surname is Zhu," Zhou Tiejun said, frowning. It seemed he also knew the other party's identity was not simple.
"Hehe, surnamed Zhu? Then he must be from the Zhu family. It's no wonder you offended them. Hehe, but don't worry, I've got everything covered. Don't worry, no one will dare to touch you anymore," I said with a smile. Hearing Zhou Tiejun's words, it seemed the other party was a member of the Zhu family. As one of the three great families of China, the Zhu family certainly had the power. After all, the Zhu family's hidden influence was quite terrifying; killing two mere special forces soldiers wouldn't be difficult for them. I just wondered who that arrogant young man was within the Zhu family.
"No... I can't go with you. Although I'm grateful, I don't want to drag you down. But if you just say the word, I won't even flinch if it means my death," Zhou Tiejun said firmly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"Honestly, why are you so stubborn? Since I know who's causing you trouble, and I still dared to take you in, I'm not afraid of them. Why are you so obstinate? You said it yourself, your life is mine. In that case, you're my subordinate from now on. You'll follow me from now on. Don't say any more. From now on, you're a member of my Ice Mirror Society. No one in China can touch you," I interrupted Zhou Tiejun decisively.
"But..." Zhou Tiejun wanted to say something, but was rudely interrupted. "There are no 'buts,' just listen to me."
"No... I just want to know what kind of organization the Ice Mirror Society is." Zhou Tiejun said this, making me somewhat embarrassed. This guy, if you want to ask, just ask! Why are you stammering? I was trying to look cool, but how am I supposed to continue?
"Um... the Ice Mirror Society is a very powerful, very formidable organization." Slightly concealing my embarrassment, I spoke seriously to Zhou Tiejun when he wasn't looking.
"Oh, I see. But I still don't understand what it is." Zhou Tiejun's words almost made me vomit blood. "
Idiot, it's a criminal organization, a very powerful, terrifying, trembling criminal organization." I said to Zhou Tiejun with a serious expression, then gave him a look that said, "You're hopeless."
"Oh, so it's the underworld. But I don't think I've ever heard of the Ice Mirror Society. Could you tell me just how powerful they are?" Zhou Tiejun asked curiously.
"Sure, I'll tell you. The Ice Mirror Society is incredibly powerful. It's arguably the largest underworld organization in all of China, and nobody in the world dares to mess with them. I'm the head of the Ice Mirror Society. You can call me Young Master Xie, or Young Master, whatever you prefer," I said seriously. "
I see. Young Master, could you tell me how many brothers we have now?" Zhou Tiejun, sensing something was amiss, asked me curiously.
"Well... for now... just you and me, two of us. If we include Da Bao and your brother, then we have four people," I said to Zhou Tiejun without any hesitation, adding his brother Zhou Tiexiong to the list.
Zhou Tiejun's mouth dropped open after hearing my words. After a long pause, he stammered, "You... what did you say? Four... four?"
"Yes, four," I said openly, without the slightest embarrassment.
"Then you still said..."
"What else did you say? That the Ice Mirror Society is the most powerful gang in China, with immense influence?"
"Yes..."
"Hehe, I have connections and money, so developing it shouldn't be difficult, right? I'm talking about the future Ice Mirror Society. You misunderstood, so don't blame me."
Zhou Tiejun "..."
"Alright, Tiejun, don't be like that. Here, take this. This is a bank card with one million US dollars in it. Use it to develop the society. Consider this the founding day of our Ice Mirror Society. I'm appointing you as the vice president of the Ice Mirror Society, entrusting you with all the gang's affairs. I think you have quite a few brothers in the army, right? First, rent a house, then set up a small company. If you have any comrades, call them all over. We're going to make a big splash." I patted the slightly dazed Zhou Tiejun and said to him.
Although Zhou Tiejun's eyes showed some helplessness, he still said to me, "Alright, young master, don't worry. Many of my brothers have retired from the army, and they're not having an easy time either. If I ask them to come over, I don't think they'd object. You can rest assured."
"Okay, then everything is in your hands. Here's my phone number. Just call me if anything comes up." I nodded to Zhou Tiejun and then disappeared in a flash, leaving him and Da Bao, who was desperately eating their dinner, sitting there dumbfounded, staring in the direction I had vanished.

Chapter 32 The Alluring Beauty Turns Innocent
After saying goodbye to Zhou Tiejun and Da Bao, I headed towards my home, thinking about Zhou Tiejun and the others as I walked. The Zhu family and our Li family have been mortal enemies for more than just a year or two. There's no goodwill between them, and they've fought each other countless times in secret. They've gotten to know each other quite well. Frankly speaking, provoking the Zhu family was definitely not a wise decision. This time, the Zhu family deliberately wanted to play with Zhou Tiejun and his brother. Otherwise, things would not have been so simple. They definitely wouldn't have made it to the north alive. Fortunately, the Zhu family's power was already quite weak when they arrived here. Back then, the Li family's power was concentrated in Longxi, but since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family's power gradually began to move north. Moreover, with the Liu family secretly restraining them, the Zhu family's power has always been contained south of the Yellow River.
The Zhu family is different from the Li family and the Liu family. Although the Zhu family has influence in politics and the military, it is not very large, at least not compared to the two most powerful families. What is truly terrifying is their underworld power. The Zhu family is an established underworld family, the largest underworld organization, and arguably the earliest underworld organization. The Zhu family has a history of six or seven hundred years, which is not much compared to the long-established Liu and Li families. However, they have their own advantages, namely the underworld. The fewest underworld organizations in China are undoubtedly the Heaven and Earth Society and the Green Gang and the Hong Gang that evolved from it. Although the Green Gang has broken away from the Zhu family and become independent, they still respect the Zhu family and will not refuse the Zhu family's requests. The Hong Gang is extremely loyal to the Zhu family. The Zhu family is the former Ming imperial family, the Zhu family, the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang. The Zhu family was able to rise because of two reasons: first, the Hong Gang, which was composed of the huge army left over from the Ming Dynasty, and second, the huge underground forces of the Eastern and Western Expeditions and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which were also the backbone of their forces. Therefore, the Zhu family became one of the three major families in China, and their power is not to be underestimated.
The three powerful families, working together to maintain a balance of power, secretly formed a relatively stable force in China. Although they developed in different regions and had different environments and cultures, they shared one thing in common: all three were descendants of royalty. The emperors of the Liu family were direct descendants of the Liu family, the imperial family of the Later Han Dynasty. The Li family originated from the bloodline of the Tang Dynasty, and the Zhu family carried the bloodline of the last Han Chinese dynasty. It was precisely because of this accumulated heritage that they were able to rise to power. After all, for any power in the world, imperial power is the most powerful, and royal families always rise so quickly, which is why these three families came into being.
"What are you doing here?" Just as I was pondering, a voice suddenly rang in my ear. Thinking about my momentary lapse in concentration, I couldn't help but feel a chill. If someone wanted to kill me, I would have been in danger. Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat and looked towards the source of the voice. I found a beautiful blonde girl dressed in a fashionable and sexy outfit standing in front of me, looking at me with a cold expression and a deep sense of wariness in her eyes.
"Why can't I be here?" I looked at the person in front of me with amusement, and said with a smile. This person was none other than my beautiful deskmate, whom I hadn't exchanged more than a few words with.
"You're following me?" The beauty's eyes showed even more wariness.
"Hehe, it's undeniable that you're very pretty, but you're not worthy of making me so infatuated that I'm following you. Please move aside, thank you." I looked at the person in front of me and said with a mocking smile, then walked past her and went upstairs.
Just as I opened my door, the door across the hall opened, and a kind and warm female voice rang out. A beautiful woman who looked to be around thirty-four or thirty-five years old opened her door, her slightly sickly face beaming with a kind smile. She said to me, "Hehe, you must be the new neighbor. Hello, my name is Wu Meifeng, you can just call me Aunt Wu. If you need any help while you're living here, just come and ask me."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Although it was just a few simple words, her expression was quite sincere, and there was not a trace of pretense in her eyes. Just this alone showed that the person in front of me was a good person. There aren't many good people in this world, and I was naturally very polite to a good person.
"Hehe, come in and sit down. It's only a little past ten o'clock anyway, and my daughter hasn't come back yet. I'm lonely by myself. If you don't mind, come and talk to Auntie." Aunt Wu said to me with a smile, but there was a hint of sadness when she mentioned her daughter.
"Okay, sure." Hearing this, I took the key from the door and followed Aunt Wu inside with a smile. After sitting down, Aunt Wu warmly brought me a cup of hot tea, then sat down herself, looking at me with kind eyes and saying, "By the way, I still don't know your name? How old are you?"
"Auntie, my name is Li Tianxie, I just turned sixteen this year," I said with a smile.
"Oh, sixteen? So you're still in school? Where are your parents?" Aunt Wu asked with concern.
"My parents are very busy, they're doing some small business outside, and I'm here to go to school."
"Oh? School? Which school?"
"Beiyuan High School."
"Beiyuan High School? Hehe, great, my daughter is there too, you two are classmates." Aunt Wu said happily.
Just then, the door opened again, and a beautiful figure walked in, saying as she went, "Mom, I'm sorry, I had some things to do at the shop today and came back late. I bought you some delicious food."
Following the sound, I saw a fresh and beautiful figure. She looked incredibly pure, with a stunningly beautiful face and a fantastic figure. Dressed in a school uniform, she resembled a lotus emerging from water, her unadorned face exceptionally beautiful. However, none of this surprised me. What truly astonished me was that this woman was none other than Qin Ziying, my pure yet alluring deskmate. She was a completely different person from the one I'd encountered just a few minutes earlier. Her clothes were gone, her heavy makeup was gone, and her golden hair was now jet black and glossy. If I hadn't noticed the tiny gap between her black hair and scalp, I would have truly thought I was seeing a different person.
"You, really, a young lady shouldn't come home so late anymore. It's not safe outside now. Be careful, or what will I do if something happens? Also, this is our new neighbor, Tianxie. Hehe, come and meet him. He goes to the same school as you," Aunt Wu said with a smile, her eyes full of kindness as she lovingly stroked Qin Ziying's face.
"Okay." Qin Ziying responded obediently before turning her head. However, when she saw me, a hint of panic and unease appeared on her face. After glancing at me, she forced a smile and said, "Oh, it's you! I didn't expect you to be my new neighbor."
"Hehe, not only you, but I didn't expect it either." I laughed as well, my smile so bright.
"How come you two know each other?" Aunt Wu asked, slightly surprised. Although she knew we went to the same school, I had just mentioned that I was new here. She hadn't expected to know her daughter.
"Hehe, Auntie, we're not just acquaintances, we're deskmates!" I laughed.
"Oh, I see. Hehe, you two are really destined. Okay, I'll go heat up some late-night snacks. Tianxie, don't leave. Stay and have something to eat with us, and get to know Ziying better. This girl is withdrawn and doesn't have many friends. It's rare for you two to be so destined, so have a good chat." Aunt Wu said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." I said with a smile.

Chapter 33 We're Neighbors
"You..." Qin Ziying opened her mouth to speak after Aunt Wu went inside, but I interrupted her after only one word. Looking at her with a smile, I said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything bad to Aunt Wu."
After giving me a deep look, Qin Ziying said earnestly, "Thank you."
"Hehe, no need. I have my reasons. I'm a pervert, and I'm doing this to get closer to you. Don't thank me, or I'll feel guilty." I said with a smile, pretending to be lecherous, and making exaggerated gestures.
"Hehe...you're so funny. I know you're a good person, don't say that anymore. Besides, even if you are a pervert, I'm not afraid..." Qin Ziying burst out laughing, and the atmosphere wasn't so awkward anymore.
Her words made me somewhat ashamed. Honestly, I'm a perfectly innocent, lecherous little wolf. How could I possibly let a beauty like her go? It's better to kill the innocent than let her go. But I finally managed to show my true nature, only to be mistaken for joking. My poor, innocent feelings were simply not acknowledged. I was so heartbroken, so sad…
“I'm telling you… I'm serious,” I said earnestly.
“Okay… okay, I know you're telling the truth, right?” Qin Ziying laughed even harder.
“By the way, why haven't I seen your father?” Seeing that she didn't believe me, I was too lazy to keep up the pretense. I planned to find a dark and stormy night to show her my true colors, so I changed the subject.
However, I didn't expect Qin Ziying's expression to darken immediately after hearing my words. After a long while, she looked at me and said, “My father… my father died when I was little.”
“I'm sorry… I didn't mean to.” Seeing that my unintentional words had made her so sad, I felt a little embarrassed and comforted Qin Ziying.
"It's nothing, I'm used to it. By the way, did Coyote give you any trouble today?" Qin Ziying wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, composed herself as if she had recovered, and asked softly.
"Hehe, no." I laughed. He didn't cause me any trouble, but I caused him a little trouble. It's probably just that he won't be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month, and won't be able to walk for a year or two.
"That's good. But you should still be careful. I know Coyote; he holds grudges. If you offend him, he won't let you off the hook. Although I mentioned Brother Tiger's name, he won't dare to do anything to you for now, but I'm afraid he'll still cause you trouble, so you should still be careful." Qin Ziying felt relieved after hearing my words and said softly.
Hearing Qin Ziying mention Tiger made me feel slightly uncomfortable. I didn't care about Coyote and his gang at all; he was already beyond saving. Not to mention him, even his brother Wild Wolf and their backers, I could wipe them out with a flick of my finger. They weren't worth my attention. However, since she said it out of concern, I smiled and said to Qin Ziying, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
"Okay," Qin Ziying replied, and didn't say anything more.
A little while later, Aunt Wu came out, bringing out several dishes and warmly welcoming me. The three of us sat together and chatted happily. After the meal, I said goodbye and returned to my room. Looking around at the small house, which wasn't spacious—about 70 or 80 square meters, two bedrooms and a living room—it was quite tastefully decorated, and all the appliances were complete. Everything was there; there was a refrigerator, a TV, and a computer, all of which looked brand new and neatly arranged.
In the bedroom, there was a soft, large bed, next to which was a wardrobe filled with clothes. They looked ordinary, but each piece was exquisite. Although not designer brands, they were all meticulously designed by a French master designer, each set worth over ten thousand US dollars. Below, there was a row of brand-name sneakers, skate shoes, leather shoes, and a pile of other items. Although there were many items, they were neatly arranged, which pleased me greatly. Just then, the phone rang. I saw that it was Xiao Zhang who answered. As I answered the phone, I heard Xiao Zhang respectfully say, "Young Master Li, the matter has been taken care of. Your friend has already left the operating room and is now in the intensive care unit. I have arranged for the hospital to have doctors on duty 24 hours a day. He should be able to be discharged in a week at most."
"Okay, good, well done, thank you. By the way, you've probably met Zhou Tiexiong's brother, Zhou Tiejun, right? He's a friend of mine. Please take good care of them in the future and help them find a place to stay. They have money there, so please make sure you can find them a place in the North District." I said to Xiao Zhang. Although Xiao Zhang was my uncle's confidant and loyal to the Li family, there were some things I didn't want him to know, so I didn't explain it too clearly. I just gave him a heads-up. I believed that with Xiao Zhang's help, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhou Tiejun and his group to establish themselves in the North District. The secretary of the provincial party secretary was more powerful than the mayor in H City. With him, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhou Tiejun and his group to make progress.
"Young master, don't worry, I will handle it properly." Xiao Zhang was definitely a smart man; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached this position at only thirty years old and still be favored by my uncle.
"Okay." I nodded and hung up the phone. I sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate. Although practicing martial arts is like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you fall behind, so I naturally can't slack off in the slightest. However, I have now cultivated to the fifth level of the Blissful Undying Divine Art, and my power has reached the upper level of the Innate Realm. My power is inexhaustible and can circulate on its own without cultivation. The reason I can't break through to the Grandmaster level is entirely because I lack a bit of enlightenment. Otherwise, with the fifth level of the Blissful Undying Divine Art, it would not be difficult to enter the Grandmaster level. At this point, even if I worked myself to death, it would be of no use. I can only wait for an opportunity, wait for a chance to break through.

Chapter 34 Good Friends Should Help Each Other
The next morning, after tidying myself up, I changed into a black silk shirt and faded blue jeans, then left the house. Just as I stepped out, I saw Qin Ziying walking out of her house. She looked exceptionally pure today, still wearing the same outfit as last night.
"What, going to school?" I asked with a smile.
"Yes, to school," Qin Ziying laughed, taking off her wig and smiling at me.
"Hehe, let's go then. But to be honest, you're even prettier now," I said with a smile, then walked out first. We went to school together, chatting and laughing along the way, having a good time. Before we knew it, we arrived at the school gate. Many students around us looked at us with surprise, many with envy, but even more with surprise, mostly directed at Qin Ziying.
"Brother Tianxie, hello." After Qin Ziying and I entered, a kid who had been with Coyote yesterday immediately greeted me respectfully, with a hint of fear in his voice. He probably would have run away if we hadn't bumped into each other.
"Hehe, how's Coyote?" I chuckled, ignoring Qin Ziying's surprised look.
"Coyote... he's still in the hospital. But Brother Tianxie, I heard that Wild Wolf is coming to kill you today to avenge Coyote. You'd better be careful." The kid looked at me fearfully.
"Oh? Why are you telling me this?" I asked with a smile.
"It's... Wild Wolf told us to tell you this when we saw you. He said you shouldn't run away, or he'll kill your whole family. He also
said..." "
He also said that if you don't run, he'll take both your hands; if you do, he'll kill your whole family. You have to choose..." The kid said fearfully, looking at me with a pleading expression.
"Hehe, so that's how it is. Then go tell Wild Wolf, I'll wait for him, let him come if he wants." I chuckled dismissively and left first. Qin Ziying glanced at the boy with surprise and then quickly caught up with me, her voice slightly anxious as she said, "What are you going to do? Wild Wolf is ruthless. Since he dared to say that, he definitely won't let you off the hook. Or... should I go and beg Brother Tiger to help you? If Brother Tiger intervenes, Wild Wolf won't do anything to you, at most he'll teach you a lesson, and then you can apologize. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."
"Hehe, you're worried about me?" I ignored her anxious face and laughed instead.
"What time is it? You're still making a scene. Let me tell you, Wild Wolf is definitely not someone to be trifled with. The Tiger Gang controls seventeen streets near Beiyuan Middle School. They have a lot of power, with over three hundred members alone. They control many places around the area, and they even have connections in the police station. Wild Wolf is their vice-leader. He's incredibly ruthless and never shows mercy. Even Brother Tiger sometimes can't control him. I advise you not to be reckless." Qin Ziying said to me angrily.
However, I looked around and didn't notice anything. Seeing my expression, Qin Ziying became sad, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at me and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm begging you, please don't be reckless, okay?"
"Okay, but can you tell me why you're being so nice to me? It seems like we've only known each other for less than a day. Don't tell me it's because I'm too handsome and dashing, so you fell in love at first sight?" I said with a grin.
"Hmph, no, although you're very pretty, I've never seen a boy more handsome than you. But, am I that kind of person? The reason I'm helping you is because I haven't had many friends growing up. Although I haven't known you for long, I know you're a good friend worth having, and you're a good person. Just for that reason alone, I'll help you." Hearing my agreement, Qin Ziying's expression softened considerably. She gave me a playful hum.
"Okay, then we'll be good friends from now on." I smiled and held out my hand to Qin Ziying, secretly thinking, "I promised to stay away when they come looking for trouble, but I didn't say I wouldn't actively seek them out."
"Okay." Qin Ziying smiled immediately after hearing my words and shook my hand.
At this moment, I said to Qin Ziying, "Hehe, beautiful lady, we're good friends now, so shouldn't good friends help each other?"
"Of course." Seeing my expression, Qin Ziying looked a little puzzled, but still answered confidently.
Hearing Qin Ziying's words, I laughed even more lewdly and said, "Hehe, since you say so, I'm relieved. Actually, it's nothing serious. You know your good friend is a normal guy, and as a normal guy, I'm also very curious about women's bodies. So, as your friend, shouldn't you find a secluded place to help me out? Let's study this great subject of the body together."
As I spoke, I glanced at her snow-white chest. At 1.8 meters tall, peeping at her who was over 1.7 meters tall was incredibly easy for me.
Qin Ziying paused for a moment after hearing my words, then her face turned bright red. She then roared at me, who had already run away, "Li Tianxie, you bastard, don't run!"

Chapter 35: Even a Hero Can Save a Beauty.
The day passed quickly. I paid the price for my words that morning. Qin Ziying, surprisingly, didn't disappear all day. She sat beside me, her hands never idle, constantly pinching and hitting my arm until she was tired. I think if I weren't practically made of iron, she would have really played me to death. But I had to put on a show, otherwise she wouldn't let me off the hook. So, I deliberately pretended to be in a lot of pain. Seeing this, Qin Ziying continued to torment me for a while before finally letting go. However, she didn't seem truly angry; otherwise, she probably would have ignored me. But then again, if she really would have done that, I wouldn't have said those words.
"I have to go to work now, you go home first. You can come over for dinner tonight, my mom's home alone and it's lonely." Qin Ziying smiled at me after school, finally giving me a smile all day. She left the school after saying that, seeming to be in a good mood.
"Okay." I readily agreed, and then smiled as I watched Qin Ziying leave.
"Hey, is this Xiao Zhang? I need your help with something, um... I want you to help me find the police chief in H City and ask him to do me a small favor. Um, but don't tell my uncle." After watching Qin Ziying disappear, I dialed Xiao Zhang's number.
Around 8 PM, as the city lights began to twinkle and night fell, the streets became bustling with people and vehicles. Small groups strolled along the streets; although it was only early September, the weather was still quite hot, and many people went out to cool off. Street vendors were hawking their wares, their businesses seemingly thriving. I wandered alone, heading towards the Tiger Gang's headquarters, the Fierce Tiger Nightclub. The
Fierce Tiger Nightclub was the Tiger Gang's headquarters, where all of the gang's important information was kept. It was also one of their most lucrative establishments. This nightclub was one of the largest in the northern district, housing over thirty Tiger Gang members. Business was booming, and its location in a prime area made it incredibly lively. Even from the entrance, I could hear the loud music playing, indicating its vibrant atmosphere. The surrounding parked cars further testified to its popularity.
Four hostesses in red cheongsams with slits stood at the entrance, all looking quite attractive, greeting guests. I lit a cigarette and went inside. As soon as I entered, I noticed a slightly jarring sound. Groups of young men and women were dancing energetically, but there were also quite a few older men in suits. What they were doing there was obvious to any man.
Suddenly, a loud crash of shattering glass rang out, the music stopped, and then I heard an angry young man's voice, "You slut! You think I'm being ungrateful? Get her out of here!"
A pale-faced young man in a suit, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, walked out with a furious expression. Behind him were two burly men in black, dragging a blonde girl. For some reason, I felt she looked familiar, but her hair obscured her face, and she was too far away to see clearly.
"Please, Young Master Zhou, I won't do this, please let me go!" the girl cried. Hearing this voice, I shuddered. Who else could this be but Qin Ziying? Just as I was about to make my move, I heard a voice. I decided to wait and see.
"Young Master Zhou, yes, Ziying is a princess. You know the rules for princesses. Since she doesn't want to do this, please let her go. She's still a child, and her family isn't well-off, otherwise she wouldn't be working. Please let her go for my sake. I'll have the madam find you two better ones, I guarantee they'll be more appealing than her." Just as I was about to act, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a black suit and with long, parted hair, stepped forward, bowing and scraping to the man called Young Master Zhou, his face full of obsequiousness, but he was indeed speaking up for Ziying.
"Hmph, Zhang Hu, why should I give you face? Who do you think you are? Don't think that just because you're the boss of a small Tiger Gang, you're not going to give me any face. Let me tell you, I'm taking this person with me today. Hehe, what's with the high and mighty act? What kind of prostitute won't let you have her? I'm going to see if she's a virgin. You get out of my way, or you'll regret it." The guy called Young Master Zhou said arrogantly, clearly not taking Zhang Hu seriously.
“Yes, Brother Tiger, not to be rude, but is it really worth it for a little girl like this? She’s been around for a while, she’ll get taken sooner or later. Since Young Master Zhou likes her, then please take her away.” A man with a sinister expression, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a plaid shirt and long hair, said to Zhang Hu. He then turned to Young Master Zhou beside him with a lewd grin and said, “Hehe, Young Master Zhou, I reckon this little girl is really a virgin. She’s been here for over a year and hasn’t been touched by anyone. Hehe, tonight you can take her back and enjoy her slowly.”
“Hmm, Zhang Hu, see? Wild Wolf knows how to behave. If you know what’s good for you, get out of the way, otherwise…” Young Master Zhou glanced at Wild Wolf beside him with satisfaction, then snorted coldly at Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu was stunned by these words. He glanced apologetically at Qin Ziying, then turned his head away, his eyes filled with helplessness.
After hearing their words, I knew who these people were. The young man in his thirties was probably Zhang Hu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, also known as Brother Tiger by Qin Ziying. The long-haired man with a gloomy face was probably Wild Wolf, the brother of Earth Wolf. They did look somewhat alike. As for the young master Zhou behind them, although I didn't know who he was, judging from his arrogant demeanor, he must be someone of considerable status. I slowly approached, ready to make my move. Damn it, they dared to steal the woman I had reserved! Were they courting death?
"Stop! You really want to take her away like that?" A casual voice rang out.

Chapter 36: Annihilation? Subjugation? (Part 1)
"Kid, who are you? Do you know where you are? How dare you talk like that here? You've got a death wish." A thug-like figure stood around me, arrogantly approaching and shoving me with one hand. But I easily twisted it with my left hand, and the extra let out a scream and a crisp sound of bones breaking. He lay on the ground, unable to get up.
"Tianxie, what are you doing here? Let's go. Didn't you promise me you wouldn't cause trouble here?" Qin Ziying, being held by two burly men, looked at me in surprise.
"Hehe, yes, I did promise. But I only said I'd hide when they look for me. I didn't say I wouldn't cause them any trouble." I said with a smile.
"Kid, who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the Tiger Gang? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Seeing his subordinate knocked to the ground, Wild Wolf tensed and called over thirty of his henchmen to surround me, glaring menacingly.
"Heh heh, Wild Wolf. Everyone says Wild Wolf is so powerful and amazing, but now he seems like just a fool, like your brother, Coyote—a complete idiot. Do you think these trash can do anything to me?" I chuckled, glancing at the group of Tiger Gang members who looked menacing but lacked confidence.
"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of here! Tiger Gang business, get out of here!" At this critical moment, all the Tiger Gang members drew their weapons, and Zhang Hu said in a deep voice. Although he wanted to help Qin Ziying, it didn't mean he could tolerate my lawlessness on Tiger Gang territory, much less that I offended this Young Master Zhou, whom even he feared. That's why he acted this way. I had already anticipated his actions, so I wasn't surprised at all.
As Zhang Hu's voice rang out, the guests at the Fierce Tiger Nightclub swarmed out. They didn't want to witness a gang fight, as it would only bring them unnecessary trouble. So, after hearing Zhang Hu's words, they left as if they hadn't seen anything. Those in the private rooms closed their doors; they were all there to have fun and no one wanted to get involved in such a thing. Even an idiot would know that someone was going to die tonight.
"Kid, judging from your move, you're a pro. Yes, you're good at fighting, but I'll see if your hands are faster than my gun." After the crowd disappeared, Wild Wolf instantly pulled a pistol from his waist and pointed it at me menacingly. His henchmen drew long knives, seemingly emboldened by Wild Wolf, their faces turning fierce.
"No! No, Brother Tiger, please, let him go! He came here because I'm not here to cause trouble. Please, let him go!" Qin Ziying pleaded with Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu glanced at the weeping Qin Ziying, then at Young Master Zhou and Wild Wolf standing there. He opened his mouth, but ultimately kept quiet. He looked at Qin Ziying with a hint of helplessness, sighed, and said, "It's not that I don't want to let him go, but as a member of the Tiger Gang, I can't die for love. Since he dared to offend my Tiger Gang, he should pay the price. However, I don't want to cause any deaths, so I'll just cut off one of his hands
." I knew perfectly well that Zhang Hu had already reached his limit; asking him to let me go was practically impossible. But considering he still had some sense of loyalty, I decided to let him off the hook.
But at that moment, I struck. Swift as lightning, I rushed forward, knocking Qin Ziying unconscious. Before Wild Wolf could react, I snapped his right hand, then lifted him up and kicked him in the middle, instantly breaking him in half at the waist. A muffled groan escaped my lips, and Wild Wolf died instantly. Playing with the gun in my hand, I smiled and said, "You think you can kill me? Ignorant!"
My actions undoubtedly turned the faces of those around me deathly pale. I had deliberately slowed my movements, but to them, they appeared as fast as a ghost, my actions exceptionally ruthless. This was my way of showing them; if I wasn't ruthless, how would they behave?
A group of people around me looked at me with fear, retreating and hiding behind Zhang Hu. Young Master Zhou was also deathly pale. His two bodyguards wanted to draw their guns, but dared not move. My actions had shocked them greatly. While the underworld wasn't inexperienced in killing, none of them had ever witnessed a person being brutally broken in two. Moreover, my actions, from start to finish, took less than a minute, breaking Wild Wolf's ribs at the waist and cleaving him in two. Anyone would be terrified. So they dared not act; the reason was simple: they were afraid. They were afraid of ending up like Wild Wolf.

Chapter 37: Annihilation? Subjugation? (From the middle)
"You...you better not do anything rash, I'm telling you...my dad is the vice mayor of H city, if you dare to do anything rash, my dad won't let you off..." Young Master Zhou, hiding behind Zhang Hu, said to me as I walked towards them, his face pale. His voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear. Although his legs were shaking, he still invoked his status in the hope that I would let him go.
"Don't move, don't move, put your hands up." Just then, the roar of sirens suddenly came from outside, followed by hurried footsteps. Then, a group of police officers in black uniforms rushed in, each wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a gun. They surrounded everyone, including me.
There were many police officers, about forty or fifty in total. It seemed that Xiao Zhang's words had had a significant effect. The police chief of the North District worked very hard. After the police entered and confiscated all the weapons of the Tiger Gang members in the vicinity, a middle-aged, portly senior policeman walked in. Just by looking at the insignia on his shoulder, you could tell he was of high rank. Beside him was a young man in his thirties. This man was none other than Xiao Zhang, who had come along out of concern.
"Chief!" The police officers immediately stood at attention and saluted when they saw the chief enter.
"Chief Ma, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I would be dead! Quick, quick, arrest that guy! That guy is a murderer! I saw him kill someone with my own eyes, and he even tried to kill me!" Young Master Zhou became excited upon seeing the police chief and shouted excitedly to Chief Ma.
Seeing Zhou Jun's demeanor, Director Ma glanced almost imperceptibly at Xiao Zhang beside him, then said with an air of righteous indignation, "Zhou Jun, don't speak recklessly. Everything is still under investigation; anyone could be a suspect. So don't talk nonsense. We have our principles. As police officers, we will not let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong an innocent person. We don't need your interference. Don't think you can act with impunity just because your father is Deputy Mayor Zhou."
As he spoke, he gave Zhou Jun a meaningful look and subtly glanced at Xiao Zhang. Zhou Jun wasn't stupid; he understood the meaning. After giving Xiao Zhang a slightly different look, his tone softened considerably as he said to Director Ma, "I apologize, Director Ma. I was too agitated just now and didn't know my place. Please forgive me. But I did see that person commit murder, which is why I said that."
"Hmm, I see. Then take the person back first. We'll talk about it later. We will definitely enforce the law impartially," Director Ma said righteously.
"Wait... Director Ma..." Xiao Zhang suddenly called out to the police officers who were about to arrest me, then whispered something to Director Ma. Although I didn't know what Xiao Zhang was saying, I figured he was talking about my identity. Just looking at Director Ma's increasingly grim expression, I knew what Xiao Zhang was talking about.
"What? Why aren't you arresting anyone?" Seeing that the police hadn't reacted for a while, Zhou Jun became anxious and shouted.
"Arrest people? Arrest who? Men, the Tiger Gang's criminals are killing people indiscriminately. Arrest them! As for that young man, don't mess with him. He looks respectable and can't be a bad guy. I think there's something going on. Let's arrest the Tiger Gang members first and then question them properly.
" "Yes, Director." "The police officers sprang into action, arresting the Tiger Gang members. Four or five officers with submachine guns surrounded them in a corner, rendering them immobile. They were all crouching down, heads in their hands, and it was a painful sight to watch.
"Actually, it's like this, Director Ma. I just saw Young Master Zhou and his two bodyguards kill someone over a minor conflict. And the methods were cruel, extremely cruel. Young Master Zhou was like a monster, tearing the person apart alive, and he even threatened us not to tell anyone. But I'm just too righteous, so I thought it best to tell you." I stepped forward with a smile and said to Director Ma, placing all the blame on Young Master Zhou. Both the Tiger Gang members beside me and Young Master Zhou and his two bodyguards stared at me with their mouths agape.
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense! You were the one who killed him, Director Ma, don't believe him." "Zhou Jun immediately panicked and shouted. He hadn't expected me to twist the truth like this.
"Guards! Arrest Zhou Jun and his two accomplices! Take them back for a thorough interrogation!" But Director Ma ignored Zhou Jun and continued speaking. Anyone with eyes could see what was going on. Zhang Hu looked at me in horror, a hint of despair and confusion in his eyes, but even more so, regret for his recklessness.
"Ma Yong, you ungrateful bastard! Without my father, you wouldn't be where you are today! You just wait! If my father finds out, he won't let you get away with this!" Young Master Zhou shouted wildly as he was dragged away. "
Heh, what a mad dog barking like that. If the son is like this, the father probably isn't much better. I bet his father's time as deputy mayor is over. He must have done a lot of bad things over the years." "I said calmly, and Director Ma immediately replied, "Yes, yes, this Zhou Jun has done a lot of bad things, but we haven't been able to find any evidence. But this time we can finally bring him to justice. I guess his father's official position won't last long."
"Hehe, yes, by the way, Director Ma, since you're here, let's have some fun. Let's find a place to have some drinks and talk about some things. As for the Tiger Gang members, I think they haven't committed any crimes, so let's release them. After all, the Tiger Gang is a non-profit organization, and it's not good to arrest their people. As for the police officers, let them go home. It's getting late, and it's not good to tire them out." I stood there and smiled.
"Yes... yes... go ahead, what are you all standing there for? Take Zhou Jun back and take the body with you, then you can all go home." "After hearing my words, Director Ma hurriedly nodded and bowed, and then immediately changed his attitude and shouted to the police officers.
The police officers were all very puzzled. Everyone knew that Director Ma used to greet Zhou Jun with a smile and fawn over him. Everyone knew that the two of them were in cahoots. But now he suddenly changed his attitude. And the Tiger Gang, this vicious underworld, was actually being called a public welfare organization. And the director actually believed it. This filled them with doubts. However, after all, they were just subordinates, so although they had doubts, they dared not ask. They packed up according to Director Ma's instructions and then left the Fierce Tiger Nightclub.

Chapter 038 Annihilation? Subjugation? (Part 2)
"Boss Zhang, could you please find a few girls to take care of Ziying? I have something to talk to you about." "I calmly gave the order.
Zhang Hu wasn't a fool either. He wasn't stupid to have climbed from a thug to such a high position. Just by looking at Director Ma's attitude towards me, he knew I wasn't an ordinary person. Plus, the fear I showed when I started the fight was still fresh in his mind, so he didn't dare to resist at all, and obsequiously said, "Okay, okay."
Then he went to the private room and found two girls to carry Ziying into a room. I was led into a private room by Zhang Hu. The private room was on the third floor and looked very secluded. The room was very luxurious, but there was no sense of clutter. There were many fine wines on the shelves around, so it was obviously not a place for ordinary people.
"Director Ma, Xiao Zhang, could you two please wait here for a moment? I have something to discuss with Boss Zhang first." I said to Xiao Zhang and Director Ma after reaching the door. They readily agreed, and then I went inside with Zhang Hu.
Once inside, I sat down without ceremony and said to Zhang Hu, "Zhang Hu, do you know why I'm here today?"
"No," Zhang Hu answered decisively.
"Well, actually, I'm here for two reasons. First, because of Wild Wolf. I want to cause him trouble because I injured his brother, Earth Wolf, crippling him. I don't like leaving trouble behind, so I completely eliminate anyone who opposes me. That's why I'm here to find Wild Wolf. Secondly, I have another purpose, which is for your Tiger Gang." I picked up a glass and a bottle of red wine, filled my glass, and said to Zhang Hu.
"For the Tiger Gang?" Zhang Hu asked in surprise, then hesitated for a moment before biting his lip and saying, "Young Master Li, although I don't know who you are or what your identity is, judging from Director Ma's attitude towards you, I know you're no ordinary person, definitely a big shot. Zhou Jun's father, while not able to control everything in H City, is certainly a big figure—the vice mayor in charge of public security, someone all the major gangs would fight to curry favor with. I don't think a small Tiger Gang could catch your eye. You should know that our Tiger Gang isn't particularly wealthy or powerful; at most, we're a second-rate force in H City. I really don't think there's anything here worth your attention."
"Heh, not bad, not bad at all. Indeed, your Tiger Gang isn't of much value, but that depends on who controls it. I believe that if it's in someone else's hands, the Tiger Gang will definitely grow stronger. So, I'll give you two choices: surrender or die. You choose," I said calmly, taking a sip of my drink.
A bitter smile involuntarily appeared on Zhang Hu's lips, but a moment later, a resolute look appeared in his eyes. He knelt down and said to me, "Alright, since that's the case, Zhang Hu will offer up the Tiger Gang with both hands. From now on, the Tiger Gang, including Zhang Hu, will belong to you, Young Master. As long as you give the word, Young Master , I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Hehe, good, you're a smart man. I have a few other men, I'll have them come over later. Don't worry, Zhang Hu, you'll be glad you made that decision in the near future." I stood up and laughed happily, helping Zhang Hu up. To say that Zhang Hu was completely loyal to me now would be a lie, but that's not important. What's important is that he doesn't dare to betray me, at least not now, because he has no ability to resist. Besides, I don't think he'll betray me after I give him enough benefits in the future. Of course, if he does betray me, I can deal with him anytime.
"Alright, Xiao Zhang, come in." I said loudly.
A moment later, Xiao Zhang and Director Ma walked in. I watched them happily sit down in the next row. Director Ma seemed a bit reserved, fidgeting restlessly. When I poured him a drink, he immediately stood up, his attitude practically obsequious, making Zhang Hu's eyes nearly pop out of his head.
Seeing his expression, I smiled and glanced at Xiao Zhang. It seemed this guy had already told Director Ma his identity. But that didn't matter; nothing was off-limits. It was just a matter of whether the person who knew was qualified. Director Ma would need his help plenty of time in the future, so letting him know wouldn't hurt.
"Director Ma, let's be frank. The Tiger Gang is now mine, Li Tianxie's. If there's anything I can do to help, please do your best. I'll be eternally grateful," I said to Director Ma.
"It's my duty, it's my duty. Young Master Li, you flatter me. It's all I should do," Director Ma said, flattered.
"Hehe, good, I'm relieved to hear you say that. I, Li Tianxie, am not an ungrateful person. Since you, Director Ma, have said so, I won't treat you unfairly. I think Director Ma is fully qualified for the position of Deputy Director of the H Province Police Department. I'll go and talk to my uncle tomorrow, and you'll take this position from now on." I said with a smile. Although I didn't want my uncle to know, secrets can't be kept forever. For my uncle, the local tyrant of H Province, nothing can be hidden from him. Even if Xiao Zhang and Director Ma didn't say anything, he would probably find out through other channels soon. So I didn't intend to hide it at all. I thought that as the heir of the Li family, he wouldn't object to me promoting someone. Moreover, I vaguely knew last time that the Deputy Director wasn't my uncle's man, and he had wanted to replace him for a long time. Since that's the case, I might as well benefit myself. Although the Deputy Director of the Police Department needs to be arranged by the police department, I don't think those guys will provoke our Li family. As long as my uncle agrees, this matter is basically a done deal.
"Well... thank you so much, Young Master Li. I am deeply grateful. Please feel free to ask me for anything in the future." Ma Yong said excitedly. Although he had become the police chief in his forties, which was quite an achievement, he had never had any powerful backing, making him afraid to even speak loudly. Now that he had finally found such a powerful patron, how could he let this opportunity pass? Especially since I had given him such a generous gift upon our first meeting.
The next day, shocking news spread throughout H City: Vice Mayor Zhou, who was in charge of H City's security, was dismissed for corruption, and his son, Zhou Jun, was sentenced to death for murder. In an instant, many people in H City began to kick him while he was down. Everyone who had previously been associated with the Zhou family was eager to sever ties with them. Many people understood that the Zhou family had probably offended someone they shouldn't have.

Chapter 39 Let's Sign a Signature
"Tianxie, what are you doing here? Where are we?" In the quiet of the night, the twinkling stars and the cool moonlight illuminated the earth, giving a rare warmth. At this moment, a clear voice rang in my ears, and I knew that Ziying had woken up.
"Hehe, this is on the way home. I'm taking you home." I put Ziying down and said to her with a smile.
"Home? How did we get home? Are you alright? They didn't do anything to you? Brother Hu let you go?" Ziying asked me excitedly. "
Yes, they were about to make a move when they happened to run into a police checkpoint. The police chief happens to be my dad's classmate, and I know him too. So with him involved, Brother Hu didn't bother me, so I brought you back." I said to Qin Ziying half-jokingly. There were some things I didn't want her to know yet.
"Can we talk?" Qin Ziying looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, sighed after a moment, and said to me.
"Okay, let's go sit over there." I pointed to a bench not far away.
Qin Ziying nodded to me and we went to the bench together. After sitting down, she looked somewhat dejected and said, "Tianxie, do you think I'm an improper woman?"
"No," I smiled.
However, Qin Ziying seemed a little unconvinced, her expression still somewhat dejected as she said, "Don't lie to me. To be honest, I know many people think I'm not a good person. Do you think so too?"
"I'm telling the truth," I said firmly, no longer smiling.
"Thank you, Tianxie. Do you want to know why I became a princess?" Qin Ziying asked, a tear glistening in her eyes.
Of course, she'd already said it; how could I not listen? So I nodded, feigning attentiveness.
"Actually, my family used to be doing quite well. But my father was hit by a car and died when I was young, and my mother has always been in poor health. Later, the doctor told me that my mother had heart disease, but we didn't have any money. So I had to go out to work in the hope of earning money to treat my mother's illness. Although being a hostess in a nightclub is not a good thing, it's a quick way to make money, so I found this job. Fortunately, I'm not bad looking, so I've earned some money. I just never expected to encounter something like this today," Qin Ziying said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"I'm telling you, don't be sad. Honestly, if you ask me, you shouldn't go there anymore. I still have some money, I think it's enough for Aunt Wu's medical treatment. Don't be sad, I'll give it to you later. As for nightclubs, you shouldn't go there anymore." I said to the girl in front of me with a touch of sadness. Money? I have it. I can do good deeds, even spending millions wouldn't hurt. I've received tens of millions in New Year's money over the years, so I'm not afraid to spend a little.
"How can that be? Your money belongs to your parents. Will they agree? I can't take your money!" Qin Ziying said excitedly.
"I still have some money, and my parents won't interfere. Don't worry. Of course, I won't give it away for nothing," I said with a smile.
Qin Ziying blushed slightly after hearing my words and whispered, "Then... what do you want?"
Looking at her, I moved my face closer to hers, pressing our lips together. I could faintly feel her heavy breathing and nervous heartbeat. I whispered in her ear, "I want you... to be my housekeeper."
Qin Ziying visibly trembled at my words, a complex light appearing in her eyes. However, my tone quickly changed, causing her to look at me with surprise. Then, she angrily said, "Li Tianxie, you tricked me!"
"Hehe, I didn't. I paid for Aunt Wu's medical expenses. But I need a housekeeper, so my house is a mess. I need someone to help me tidy up and cook meals, so I've chosen you," I said with a smile.
To be honest, damn it, with such a delicate beauty in front of me, it would be a lie to say I didn't want to sleep with her. Looking at her white breasts, snow-white thighs, sexy clothes, and luscious little mouth, I felt a primal restlessness, and I couldn't wait to take her right there and then. But I couldn't, not because I was afraid, but because I didn't want to. The reason is simple: a woman without feelings has no appeal, and I don't like that. Besides, it would be a pity if I couldn't win the heart of such a beauty. Moreover, I don't think Qin Ziying is in love with me now; at most, she has a good impression of me. I don't want to do something that would destroy my own foundation. I'll just have to endure it, and wait until the time is right before I finally get my hands on her. My Eighteen Subduing Dragon Touches and Thirty-Six Techniques for Taming Women are so well-practiced that I can't be more skilled than I am. I need to find someone to test them out.
After hearing my words, Qin Ziying smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"Well, good. In that case, let's sign a contract. I passed a copy shop on my way back and made one. Here's a pen. After you sign, you'll be my personal maid. You'll be responsible for cooking, laundry, and cleaning for me. Of course, if you'd like, you can also provide some special services. I'd be very willing to study the mysterious human anatomy with you." Seeing Qin Ziying's smiling face, I immediately took out a piece of paper and a pen and said to her.

Chapter 40 Elite Troops (Part 1)
Days passed by peacefully. The day after that night, Aunt Wu was taken to the best hospital by the people I arranged. Qin Ziying also stopped working at the nightclub to focus on accompanying Aunt Wu at the hospital. It seemed she wouldn't be back for at least a month, as Aunt Wu's illness was not easy to treat. I was quite heartbroken by this sexy beauty, since I was supposed to lose my virginity to her, transforming from a boy into a man. It wasn't that I didn't have women around me, but I didn't want to mess around. Although I'm a very casual person, I still wanted to find someone I liked for my first time. As for that girl Youyue, before she mastered the Heavenly Demon Technique, it wouldn't be good for either of us if I touched her. And I didn't like having anything beyond friendship with my hands, so undoubtedly, I was finding it very difficult to restrain myself.
"Hello, is this Young Master Xie? This is Zhou Tiejun. Our brothers are almost here, just waiting for you." Walking on the quiet campus, looking at the boys around me who were constantly avoiding me, my phone suddenly rang. Zhou Tiejun's steady voice came from the other end of the line.
"Okay, where are you? How many people are here?"
"H City, North District, 13th Street, a warehouse at number 37. We're all here. Not many, about a hundred people, mostly retired veterans, including thirteen special forces soldiers from our Southwest Military Region's elite Cloud Leopard unit."
"Okay, wait for me there, I'm coming."
After hanging up, I immediately walked out of the school gate. I don't know if it was because the principal had given special instructions, but no one in the whole school came to restrain me. The students were more afraid of me than they were of tigers, all hiding far away. Of course, excluding those infatuated girls whose eyes lit up when they saw me. If they weren't so unsightly, I really wouldn't mind punishing them all.
I walked out, hailed a taxi, and headed towards 13th Street, which wasn't far away. When I got out of the car, I was in front of a not-so-spacious courtyard surrounded by a row of cement walls. Through the slightly rusty iron gate at the entrance, I could see a rather low and dilapidated old warehouse inside. I checked the address to make sure I was in the right place, and then I went in. When I reached the door, two burly men in camouflage uniforms suddenly stepped out and blocked my way, saying, "Sorry, this is private property."
The men blocking my way exuded a murderous aura. Although their clothes were simple, their eyes were cold and sharp; it was clear they were skilled fighters. I was quite satisfied with this. Looking at the thick calluses on their hands, I figured it was the result of regular training. I was pleased with the men Zhou Tiejun had found for me; at least they weren't just there to fill in the numbers.
"I am Li Tianxie."
"Greetings, Young Master Xie. We apologize, we didn't recognize you." The two burly men paused for a moment after hearing my words, then immediately bowed respectfully. I was pleased with this response; they were soldiers after all, and knew proper etiquette.
"Where are they?" I asked the two men.
"Inside, please follow me," one of them said respectfully, leading me inside. The other remained standing at the entrance, watching their surroundings as if observing everything. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together; someone like Zhou Tiejun wouldn't befriend a bunch of useless thugs.
The man who spoke led me to the warehouse door. As soon as we arrived, he knocked three times, and a deep voice from inside asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Little Tiger," the man replied. The small warehouse door opened immediately, and a man poked his head out. He looked at me, then at Little Tiger beside me—the burly man next to me. To be honest, his name surprised me, but upon closer inspection, Little Tiger had a buzz cut, was tall, broad-shouldered, and thick-waisted. He looked fierce, but his face had a touch of youthfulness, indicating he wasn't very old, probably only eighteen or nineteen.
"Little Tiger, who is he?" The man who poked his head out had a small tuft of hair, looked to be in his thirties, and had a glint of shrewdness in his eyes, a hint of murderous intent that the two men at the door lacked. He was clearly a formidable character.
"Brother Chen Bing, this is Young Master Xie," Little Tiger smiled憨厚ly, then immediately introduced me seriously.
The man named Chen Bing glanced at me and immediately became respectful, saying, "Young Master Xie, please."
I smiled and nodded, then followed Chen Bing inside. Once inside the warehouse, I saw that it was surrounded by people, all of them incredibly strong and clearly elite soldiers. They were standing in different positions, watching the entrance. Although they seemed scattered, they were actually quite orderly. Judging from their formation, if anyone were to actually break in, they would definitely not fare well. Some of them were even holding crude homemade firearms pointed at the entrance. I thought that if I were someone with malicious intentions, I would probably be riddled with bullets by those homemade guns by now, assuming I were just an ordinary person.
"Young Master Xie, you've arrived! The brothers have been waiting for you for ages." A man emerged from behind the group as I entered. He wore a green vest, had short, neatly trimmed hair, and looked quite radiant. Though his clothes were simple, he exuded an imposing aura. This man was none other than Zhou Tiejun, with a square face, broad eyebrows, and large eyes—a quintessential image of a Chinese soldier.
"Hehe, yes, Tiejun. By the way, how's Tiexiong doing?" I asked Zhou Tiejun with a smile. Necessary concern was essential; after all, these were my men. I needed to leave them with the impression of being approachable and caring towards my subordinates. It might be a bit hypocritical, but hypocrisy was necessary. And I wasn't hypocritical towards Zhou Tiexiong at all. He was going to be my future main force! Damn it, even though I'm rich, that money wasn't spent for nothing. Naturally, I had to get some return. If he died, who would I get my money from?
"Alright, all healed! We have to thank you, Young Master Xie! Tie Xiong, you brat, come and meet your savior!" Zhou Tiejun's honest face broke into a bright smile after hearing my words, and he called out to the others with a grin.
"Yes, brother!" A man dressed similarly in military uniform, but with a very serious and meticulous expression, bearing a striking resemblance to Zhou Tiejun but exuding an even stronger aura of fortitude, rushed forward. He looked to be about twenty-two or twenty-three, but his killing intent was no less than his brother Zhou Tiejun's. His sharp eyes held a resolute glint. My first impression of him was that of a soldier, an absolute soldier. He strode over, stood beside me, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Young Master Xie."
"Hmm, good...good. Very good, not bad, a talent indeed." Undoubtedly, I was very satisfied with Zhou Tiexiong's performance; I greatly admired such a person.
"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Xie," Zhou Tiexiong said respectfully, though his face remained expressionless. His demeanor only made me like him more. If someone like him were truly loyal to someone, he would be absolutely devoted, and such a person was undoubtedly the most appealing.
"Young Master Xie, Tiexiong is just like that, please don't mind him," Zhou Tiejun said to me with a smile upon seeing Zhou Tiexiong's expression. Clearly, Zhou Tiejun was much better at handling people than Zhou Tiexiong. No wonder the two brothers joined the army at the same time, yet one became a company commander while the other remained a lowly soldier.
"Hehe, how could I mind? By the way, Tiejun, how many brothers did you bring this time?" I asked Zhou Tiejun with a smile, patting Tiexiong on the shoulder as I spoke.
“Eighty-three of them. Seventy of them are armed police and soldiers I met in the Southwest. They are all excellent. Although they are not special forces, they are all top-notch and have fought with drug lords many times. They have all killed people. The other thirteen are my former subordinates from the Cloud Leopard unit. They are absolutely elite. This time, Tie Jun and I were kicked out, and they all applied for reinstatement. I just happened to call them all over. These are my best brothers. I didn’t dare to call those who were not very reliable.” Zhou Tie Jun said to me seriously after hearing my words. He was obviously a little proud when he talked about his subordinates.
"Alright, in that case, everyone follow me. But let me make this clear from the start: if you're going to follow me, everything must revolve around me and the gang. There can be absolutely no personal feelings involved. And let me be frank: we're a triad, we do shady business. While we, the Ice Mirror Society, won't harm ordinary people, we'll show absolutely no mercy to our enemies. So, if you agree, stay; if you don't, leave. I won't force you. But if you stay, you must be absolutely obedient. What do you all think?" I said loudly to the people around me, my voice ringing out with a hint of internal energy, ensuring everyone could hear me clearly.

Chapter 41 Elite Troops (Part 2)
"Young Master Xie, we all came here on Brother Tie Jun's orders. We don't ask for anything else, just because you saved Brother Tie Xiong's life, we know you're someone we can serve. We're all pretty good after we retired from the army. To be honest, we're good at killing, but we don't know anything else. The money the army gives us will run out sooner or later. Since we dared to come, we've already thought it through. We'll follow you from now on. We know you're not an ordinary person. We've never even heard of someone who can throw Tie Jun more than ten meters in one move, and you can come up with a million dollars at once. That shows you're not an ordinary person. We'll follow you from now on. We don't ask for anything else, we just ask that you treat your brothers well." At this moment, Chen Bing, the long-faced, triangular-eyed man with a small mustache, stepped forward and said.
Clearly, his words represented the opinion of the majority. Although the gestures were subtle, I saw many people nod slightly. I could understand their feelings. These soldiers were all men who had risked their lives, had killed people and carried guns; none of them were cowards. This was evident from my grandfather. Since these people had come, it meant they no longer cared about life and death. This should be their only request. After hearing this, I said loudly, "Alright, I, Li Tianxie, am a man of my word. I dare not say anything else, but with me, Li Tianxie, here, no one in the three northeastern provinces will dare to make things difficult for us on official grounds. As long as Li Tianxie has a bite to eat, I will never let my brothers go hungry. From today onwards, you are all my brothers."
"I know you brothers probably haven't had an easy time since you came back from the army, but I, Li Tianxie, can guarantee that from now on, if you follow me, you'll definitely live a life of luxury. As long as you work hard, I guarantee that within three years, everyone here will be able to afford a house and a car. But I also want to make it clear that if anyone breaks the rules, I won't be lenient."
With that, I punched the cement wall next to me, sending countless fragments flying.
Hearing my words, many people cheered happily; they were waiting for me to say those words. However, I still keenly noticed that Chen Bing, Zhou Tiexiong, and Zhou Tiejun all had a glint in their eyes, looking at me with slight surprise. They clearly understood the hidden meaning in my words. Except for Zhou Tiexiong, who remained unchanged, both Zhou Tiejun and Chen Bing showed a hint of excitement on their faces.
My subsequent words and actions silenced everyone again. They stared dumbfounded at the deep fist-shaped mark I had left on the stone wall, rubbing their eyes in disbelief. I laughed and said to everyone, "These aren't difficult. Whichever brother performs well in the future, I'll give them to you." "
Young Master Xie, we'll work for you from now on! We'll do whatever you say!" Chen Bing said excitedly, his body trembling slightly. His eyes shone brightly, making me feel a little uncomfortable. Not only him, but everyone around me stared at me with shining eyes, even Zhou Tiexiong.
"Young Master Xie, you said it, from now on we're yours."
"Young Master Xie..."
"Are they all from the Red Back Mountain gang?" I thought maliciously, but still smiled and said, "Good, with these words from you brothers, I'm relieved. From now on, you are all members of my Ice Mirror Society. We'll share the good times and the bad."
"Share the good times and the bad!" Cheers rose and fell.
Looking at the excited crowd, I had a feeling that perhaps, with these people, my era would begin.
Of course, I didn't know that my Ice Mirror Society had just been established when news of it got out.
"Suiyun, look at Tianxie, that kid. I knew he wasn't one to stay put. Heh heh, Tian Sha Wuchang, it seems my grandson's reputation wasn't for nothing. He took down a small gang in just three days. Also, I just got news that a group of retired soldiers went to H City, a total of eighty-three, including thirteen former Cloud Leopard special forces soldiers. I think it's probably related to that kid." My grandfather, far away in Beijing, threw a stack of documents in front of my father and said with a smile.
Dad picked up the document, glanced at it, and put it back on the table, smiling as he said, "Hehe, this kid's not bad. He found such a pretty girl in less than a day. Hehe, this Qin Ziying is good. Hmm, really good. This kid has good taste. This girl is much more promising than his gangster activities. What's the point of fighting and killing all day? It seems like we should take the kid to Amsterdam sometime and let him experience what it's like to be around. Speaking of which, my son is so old and still a virgin. Doesn't that make me lose face?"
"You brat, can't you think of something else? Me, a descendant of the prestigious Li family, getting involved in gangsters? Hmph, and two of them at once! Don't think I don't know what Suiyun is doing outside. I can ignore him, but I can't ignore Tianxie. How can the heir of the Li family do such things?" Grandpa said, his brows furrowed.
"Dad, really, what do you think our Li family needs now that we've come this far?"
"We don't need anything. Tianxie is getting on in years; let him do what he wants. As his father, I know my son well enough. Tianxie is no ordinary person. Our Li family has developed to this point and lacks nothing. It's time for Tianxie to do something for himself. Besides, I think what our Li family lacks most is manpower. I'm hopeless in this life, but Tianxie is just like me when I was young. He should be free, find a few wives, and have a lot of children. That's the most practical thing. Besides, the underworld isn't necessarily a bad thing. Didn't the Zhu family gain their foothold through that? Hehe, let Tianxie play with them. Anyway, the Zhu and Liu families are restless now, so one more Li family won't make a difference."
Dad laughed.
Hearing his father's words, Grandpa sighed and said, "Alright, if that's the case, then let him be. However, he acted rather rashly. Tomorrow, go to the outer hall of the Li family and inform them to send two hundred men there. Also, have the inner hall send twenty skilled men to Tianxie. After all, outsiders are not as reliable as the people our Li family has trained since childhood. Since he wants to do it, we should give him some convenience.
" "Hehe, Dad, I agree with that. But do you think we should also send a few girls from the inner hall? I think Tianxie was quite bold when he was young, but after being taught by you for ten years, he's become a bit rigid. He's still a virgin. If this continues, our Li family line will end. I think we should send a few women from the inner hall to find an opportunity to drug that kid and force him into marriage. Who knows, he might even give you a great-grandson. What do you think?" "Undoubtedly, Dad, who had started off rather seriously, reverted to his old habits. Sure enough,
as soon as he finished speaking, a dark line appeared on Grandpa's face. He then grabbed the ashtray from the table and smashed it at Dad, roaring, 'Get out of here!!!'
'Don't... don't get angry, Grandpa, I'm leaving.' Dad dodged Grandpa's attack, then said with a frightened expression, before disappearing without a trace.
Watching Dad vanish, Grandpa stroked his chin and muttered to himself, 'Hmm, what that kid said makes sense.'" Chapter 42

The Drunk Beauty
As night fell and the city lights began to twinkle, the bustling Tiger Nightclub in the North District of H City was filled with ear-piercing music. Young men and women danced and screamed to the passionate strains. A strikingly handsome man entered, with long hair and piercing eyes. He wore a white patterned shirt with a ferocious golden dragon coiled around it, jeans, and a black skull necklace. He exuded an eerie aura. Behind him followed four or five burly men, each incredibly energetic, dressed in black suits and sunglasses. Their signature attire made it impossible to guess their profession; everyone knew that these days, anyone wearing a black suit and sunglasses was either a bodyguard or a gangster. "
No need to ask, this is me," I said to one of the henchmen beside me. "Young Master Xie, Tiger is on the third floor. Please follow me." "
The henchman was taken aback at first after hearing my words, then immediately spoke respectfully to me. After speaking, he led me upstairs. We arrived at the nightclub on the third floor, opened the door, and found it filled with smoke. Zhang Hu and several henchmen were sitting inside, surrounded by many beautiful women, having their fun. I wasn't bothered by this scene; it's the underworld, after all, it's normal. However, I noticed that the men behind me clearly disliked it.
"Damn it, who is it?" I heard Zhang Hu curse from inside as soon as the door opened. I noticed that he was undressing a woman, about to get down to business. No wonder he was so angry.
"Hehe, sorry to disturb Brother Hu's enjoyment, but I have something to discuss with you." "After brushing aside the bewildered underlings, I walked in and smiled faintly.
Zhang Hu was clearly not expecting me to be the
one who came in. He froze for a moment, then broke out in a cold sweat, stammering, 'Young Master Xie... Young Master Xie... Please... Please come in, I'll make them leave immediately.' After saying that, he turned around and yelled at his group of underlings and girls, 'What are you looking at? Get out of here!'
Hearing Zhang Hu's words, the girls and underlings hurriedly ran out, not daring to linger for a moment.
After unceremoniously leading his people in, I found a comfortable place to sit down and arranged for the people next to me to sit down as well. Zhang Hu diligently poured wine for each of us, then sat there somewhat nervously and looked at me, asking, 'I wonder what orders Young Master Xie has come this time?'" "
Well, it's nothing really. Let me introduce you: Zhou Tiejun, Zhou Tiexiong, Chen Bing, and Li Cheng. They will be members of our organization from now on. Let me give you a brief introduction; they are all absolutely reliable people. Now, I'll briefly announce that our Ice Mirror Society is officially established today. Of course, there are many things you need to discuss. As for the specifics, I won't interfere; you can figure it out yourselves. I'll go out now. You all have a good time together, and I'll be back later." He finished speaking simply and clearly.
After that, he picked up the red wine on the table, drank it all in one gulp, savored it, and said, "Gastonrena, youthful spirit, hehe, it's from France, not bad, but the taste is a bit lacking; it's not exactly a good wine. I still prefer the 1775 Lafite wines, but unfortunately, we don't have any here." Ignoring the surprised looks from the crowd, I walked straight out.
Outside the room, I saw several young men standing respectfully, guarding the surroundings and observing the activity. Two others stood at the third-floor entrance, blocking anyone trying to enter.
"Young Master Xie," the men bowed respectfully as I emerged.
I smiled at them and said, "I'm going downstairs to have some fun. You guys stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, just come find me downstairs."
"Yes," the men replied respectfully.
I went downstairs, found an empty seat, ordered two beers, and sat down alone, watching the dancing crowd around me, admiring their decadent expressions. Occasionally, I noticed several couples slowly thrusting against the walls, arousing a sense of lust within me.
"Hey, handsome, can I sit down?" A glamorous woman in a business suit walked over, smiling coquettishly at me. She seemed to be a white-collar worker. Before I could even speak, she automatically sat down, leaning against me. Her open chest revealed a pair of flawless white breasts; the semi-transparent bra allowed me to see the tiny red nipples inside.
This woman wasn't tall, but she had a great figure. Although her looks were average, her skin was excellent, and combined with her alluring posture, it stirred my desire. Since someone had offered themselves to me, true to my nature, I couldn't let it pass. Without hesitation, I put my arm around her shoulder, and my hands began to wander unconsciously.
He slowly began to climb, and directly touched her soft breasts. Damn, this woman's breasts felt really good to touch.
The woman leaned close to me, resting her head on my shoulder, panting heavily. She rolled her eyes at me and said coquettishly, "Handsome, you're so naughty. I just arrived and you're already taking advantage of me before we even know each other. Let me tell you, I'm not a casual person."
Hearing this, I slipped my hand inside her clothes and began to caress her soft breasts and slight nipples, smiling as I said, "Yes, I know, you're not a casual person. When you're casual, you're inhuman."
The woman showed no aversion to my words; instead, she trembled slightly, rolled her eyes at me, and leaned even closer to give me more opportunity to caress her. This kind of woman is nothing more than one of those white-collar workers looking for excitement after work. I have no reason to let go of meat offered to me. Of course, I'm not a promiscuous person; I just felt sorry for her and wanted to comfort her lonely heart and empty body. If I were to actually sleep with her, I would absolutely refuse. After all, I'm a virgin; how could I waste my time on a woman like this? But, hehe... It seems oral sex shouldn't count as breaking the taboo, I'll find a place later...
Just as I was indulging in endless fantasies, I saw a drunk girl being led out. She looked young, wearing a white shirt and a red skirt, a standard school uniform. I noticed her from afar; she was very cute, with small lips, a rosy face, and slender, long legs, making my heart flutter. Beside her were several other drunk girls, as well as seven or eight boys and three sober girls, chatting and laughing as they walked out of the private room. The drunk girl was being carried out by two boys.
