Standing next to Lu Wu, Yang Ming's complexion did not change at all as he laughed giddily and said, "Then Uncle Lu, you still won't accept me?"

Lu Wu chuckled, "Li Shi Qing, you're indeed generous. It really makes me even more impatient to see your beaten and humiliated expression even more.

Hearing that, Li Shi Qing's smile did not change, "If Lu Wu Ye wanted to see it, then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"If I had said it earlier, what would you have done?" Lu Wu was like a cat provoke a mouth as he excitedly went along.

"If you had said so, I would have done it for Lu Wu Ye to see. Unfortunately, I have an illness," Li Shi Qing slowly said, "Once I'm at this kind of wild and barren mountains, I won't be able to expose a beaten or humiliated expression."

Lu Wu laughed heartily; his subordinates, including Yan Ming, tactfully laughed along with him. For a period of time, laughter filled this suburban road; seeming as though it was encircling Li Shi Qing.

By the time Lu Wu stopped laughing and saw that Li Shi Qing's had become somewhat unsightly, he couldn't help but to be even more pleased with himself.

"Yan Ming, do you know where your Uncle lost at?"

"Uncle Lu, aren't you saying this too early? He hasn't necessarily admitted defeat yet." Yan Ming said, smiling mischievously, "But...there is no harm in saying it."

Lu Wu gave Yan Ming a glance and slowly said, "Originally, this city had three major gang factions. Ma Que Zi had money and people, my adopted son Luo Dong had a strong and favorable background yet your Uncle who came later was able to surpass them. Say, what do you think he relied on?"

Yan Ming looked at Li Shi Qing, "If I were to say it, the gang rely on a great number of competent people; people with talent."

"Not bad!" Lu Wu praised, nodding his head, "When the gang was flourishing, even the neighboring provinces where I resided, knew Li Shi Qing, the dragon that has shaken up the underworld and the four leaders of each territory under his control were like tigers rushing up the mountains. Liu Zi Cheng was talented and careful while also vicious and merciless; Xiao Li was calm and collected, brave and experienced, Fan Peng was quiet yet competent in managing internal and external affairs and Feng Qiang was cruel, valiant with a great fighting spirit. Then adding to that he had a nephew with money and power, everything would sail even more smoothly. Each and every one of you had his own ability which ultimately was sufficient to help these three pillars become one large independent group."

Yan Ming repeatedly nodded his head with respect then heard Lu Wu say, "But it's a pity, he was not able to keep any of those people."

Lu Wu's subordinates let out several taunting laughter and Li Shi Qing's expression became even more unsightly.

"Li Shi Qing, did you know?" Lu Wu looked at him with a bit of sympathy, "When Liu Zi Cheng wanted to rely on me for help, I was rather surprise!" His words were like sharp weapons, "I didn't expect you to be defeated like this. You weren't even able to win over your favorite successor."

When Li Shi Qing did not say anything, Lu Wu's mood became even better, "Liu Zi Cheng is a man of talent, smart and able to adapt, but it's a pity, he was too anxious. What's even more pitiful is that Yan Ming and I have cooperated a long time ago. Liu Zi Cheng was just a chess piece placed at the forefront and was ultimately discarded." He let out a pitiful laugh, "You weren't even able to win over your own nephew, that's your second defeat."

Li Shi Qing snorted, "So what? Whether it is Liu Zi Cheng or Yan Ming, weren't neither of able to get away with it?"

Lu Wu laughed out "That's right! I actually did not expect that. Who would have known that on the surface Xiao Li was working with Yan Ming but in the end, he turned on him instead... Li Shi Qing, you must be especially proud of yourself and thought that with will, you can achieve anything? You thought that Xiao Li—a person who's cold and unmoving—would be deeply touched by your sincerity and fall in love with you in end?"
