Lawless Gangster

Chapter 42

"Xiao Li wouldn't talk to you about these things," Han Jia looked at him coldly, "That's the kind of person he is. Without saying anything, he would run off and deal with it himself. However... humph. I understand him because even if he told you, what can you do about it?"

Those words were sharp like needles, piercing Qi Xiu Yuan until his face turned pale. He walked toward the door while whispering to himself, "Let me think, let me think......"

——There are some things......that I must deal with. It can be very troublesome and time consuming......

——I don't want to drag you down. It's enough if it's just me.

——Just tell me, are you willing to wait for me or not......if you can wait......

Xiao Li, Xiao Li, Qi Xiu Yuan thought painfully, what exactly are you planning to do?

---

Xiao Li has yet to enter the city when he received a peculiar phone call from Yan Ming informing him to hurry to Jin Ting. After just a few words, the call ended abruptly. Without having any time to return home to change out of his clothes, Xiao Li wore the same T-shirt and jeans and made his way to Jin Ting. Once there, the doorman nearly absent-mindedly stopped him.

Yan Ming is known to be a promiscuous and unprincipled playboy. Now, he was dressed in all brand name outfits, sitting on a sofa in the corner of the lounge with one leg crossed over the other. There were several people standing in front of him with a rather confrontational posture.

Once Yan Ming caught sight of Xiao Li from the corner of his eyes, he had the audacity to ridicule his clothes.

"Oh, Xiao Li!" He called out loudly, "This territory was just given to me and you want to secretly withdraw from the underworld? What are you wearing huh? A school uniform?"

"How can it be compared to Ming Ge's style?" Xiao Li greeted politely before turning his head to look at the people confront Yan Ming. "Lin Zi, what's going on?"

Hearing him, Lin Zi, the rather husky fellow's complexion became unusually unsightly. He gave Yan Ming a quick glance then turned back to look the other way. It was then that Xiao Li noticed Zhang Xue Ming, the person that replaced Han Jia, taking a seat on the sofa behind him.

"Li Ge, when you were in charge of the eastern territory, Lin Zi belonged to Jin Ting." Zhang Xue Ming looked over, "Now I need to use him. So that he can remove my restriction on the usage of these drugs. Is that not possible?"

"Whether possible or not, you don't have the final say," Yan Ming said calmly, "First off, Jin Ting is my territory now. When you see me, you should respectfully call me Ming Ge. Two, although I am a drug dealer, I don't take the drugs I deal with. I personally know that subordinates are not allowed to touch them. Could it be that as a leader in the prostitution ring, you also get fucked?"

"You!" Zhang Xue Ming angrily stood up, "You may be in charge of Jin Ting, but Lin Zi is not your subordinate. What rights do you have to order him around?"

"Zhang Xue Ming, you're in charge of all the male and female prostitutes in Jin Ting now. But, that doesn't mean that Lin Zi is under your command. Besides, if I order him around, I am giving his Li Ge face. Otherwise, I'll have to beat him since he damaged my subordinates' business transactions." Yan Ming gave Xiao Li a glance, "I gave you face, so you wouldn't tear into each other. Tell me, isn't that right, 'Li Ge'?"

Xiao Li retrained the anger that rose and said, "That's enough. We're all brothers in the same family here. There's no need to quarrel over trivial matters like this, right? It's my fault. I've been too anxious for the past two days that I didn't handle everything properly." He looked at Yan Ming, "Jin Ting is your territory now, so it's only natural that you have the final say. Lin Zi is one of my men. If you think that he's useful and want to keep him, then I'll leave him here, but if you and he don't follow the same path, I'll take him away."
