Chapter twenty

Huang Xin brought Wu Xiaofeng to a spacious hall and they both sat down. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they introduced themselves. Huang Xin said, "Brother Wu, may I ask why you are interested in the 'Minglin' Mahjong Club?"

Wu Xiaofeng, playing with the tea cup he picked up from the coffee table, casually replied, "It's not just me who's interested in 'Minglin.' There are quite a few people eyeing it, but I believe the price I offered is enough to catch your attention, so I dared to come for a discussion."

Huang Xin furrowed his brow slightly and said coldly, "Oh? It seems like you're quite confident. However, coming alone to negotiate such a significant matter, do you not consider the influence of our gang?"

Seeing Huang Xin's stern expression, Wu Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "Brother Huang, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean any disrespect. Well, let me be honest. I am originally from the southern city of Suyang and spent two years in the underworld. I made friends with some like-minded individuals, and due to our impulsive actions, we offended some people we shouldn't have. So, I had no choice but to move northward to avoid trouble. You understand, on the streets, if you don't have a place to stay, it feels like being homeless. That's why I came here, hoping your gang would be generous. Of course, I won't be stingy with money. How about 20 million? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, even Huang Xin's henchmen behind him were astonished, but Huang Xin remained composed. He knew that the Mahjong Club was not for sale, even at twice the price. This club was central to the territory controlled by the Xiao gang, serving as a strategic location. Selling or losing it would jeopardize their control over the area.

After Wu Xiaofeng stated his staggering offer, he kept his eyes fixed on Huang Xin. Contrary to the surprise of others, Huang Xin appeared remarkably steady. Wu Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with a hint of something unusual but quickly returned to normal.

After some contemplation, Huang Xin raised his head and said, "Brother Wu, your offer is indeed high and tempting, but as you know, I am not the decision-maker. I will convey your proposal to our gang leader, and the result will take a few days to be known."

Wu Xiaofeng, hearing the implied dismissal in Huang Xin's words, stood up with his chin resting on his hand, saying, "Well, I can wait a few more days. I have plenty of time. Today, meeting Brother Huang has been a pleasure. How about I treat Brother Huang and a few brothers to a relaxing time?"

Huang Xin considered the proposal, thinking it could be an opportunity to gauge Wu Xiaofeng's intentions. However, he hesitated, realizing that he might reveal too much during such a gathering.

Politely declining, he said, "Brother Wu, I appreciate your generosity, but I have some matters to attend to. Perhaps another day."

After Wu Xiaofeng left, one of Huang Xin's henchmen suggested, "Boss, should we have someone follow him?"

Huang Xin waved his hand, saying, "Not appropriate. We don't know much about this person, but from his confidence, he likely possesses formidable skills. Following him might lead to discovery. Ah Han, inform our leader about everything concerning this person, and let's see what plans she has. Remember, don't underestimate him."

Ah Han nodded and replied, "Got it, Boss. I'll report to Guang ge and see what Sister He has in mind. We won't take this person lightly."

Back at his residence, Wu Xiaofeng observed the joyful interaction between Yan Mei and Xiao He. He couldn't help but sigh, "Mei'er is truly enchanting. Not only is she mesmerizing herself, but even Xiao He, the tomboy, is becoming more feminine around her."

Approaching the two women, he hugged and kissed them passionately, relieving the longing built up over the past two days.

Yan Mei, with a charming breath, complained, "My great teacher, can't you be gentler? Look, my lips are swollen now."

Wu Xiaofeng carefully observed her slightly reddened and swollen lips, finding them even more alluring than usual. Gazing at Yan Mei's stunning beauty, her flawless, translucent skin adorned with a faint rosy blush, and her seductive eyes, he felt a surge of warmth. Once again, he kissed Yan Mei's cherry-like lips, his tongue exploring her pearly white teeth, entwining with her soft, sweet tongue.

This passionate kiss aroused Yan Mei's tender feelings, and her arms, like snakes, entwined around Wu Xiaofeng's neck. Her firm, round peaks pressed against Wu Xiaofeng's arms, and the friction intensified the burning desire within him. Just as he was about to take it further, he remembered that his other arm was still embracing Xiao He.

Having left the sweet fragrance of Yan Mei, looking back at Xiao He, she wore an uncommon expression of contemplation. Shaking his head, Xiao ZiHan couldn't help but wonder what Xiao He was reminiscing about. Could it be the intense kiss just now that left an impression on her?

Xiao He snapped back to reality, her face showing excitement. "Boss Han, that kiss just now was truly exhilarating! That's how it should be! When a man kisses, it should be passionate and forceful, not soft like a woman. How could that be considered manly?"

Xiao ZiHan was taken aback, initially thinking of giving her an elegant deep kiss. However, he realized it wasn't necessary. Dealing with Xiao He couldn't be the same as dealing with an ordinary woman; otherwise, she'd mock him for not being manly.

Yan Mei burst into laughter, teasing, "Great Teacher, dealing with Little He is not as easy as you might think. Don't expect everything to go your way. You should put some effort into it. Hehe."

Xiao ZiHan, looking left and right, suddenly sighed, "Ah, being an underling, calling others 'boss,' and acting according to their mood. I never expected that when I come home, my wife wouldn't be completely obedient. Life is tough."

His lamenting appearance only intensified Yan Mei's laughter, and even Xiao He joined in the hearty laughter.

After the laughter subsided, Xiao He asked, "Boss Han, did that Huang Xin bully you?"

Xiao ZiHan displayed a strange smile and said, "Bully? Impossible. Just think, your big brother Han is so fair, straightforward, and flexible. Anyone with a subordinate like me should consider themselves fortunate and entrust me with important tasks. No chance of being bullied. Also, Little He, don't call me Boss Han; it doesn't sound pleasant. Just call me Big Brother; it's more endearing."

However, Xiao He was thrown off by Xiao ZiHan's sudden change in behavior. How could this happen? She extended her right hand, touched Xiao ZiHan's forehead, and exclaimed, "Boss Han, are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Seeing Xiao ZiHan's strange expression, Yan Mei laughed and playfully pulled down Xiao He's slender finger that had been resting on Xiao ZiHan's forehead. She lightly pinched Xiao He's finger and said, "Little He, be careful. Don't provoke the wrath of our great teacher; otherwise, you'll get another spanking."

Upon hearing the mention of spanking, Xiao ZiHan remembered he should first share the matter about Wu Xiaofeng.

The two women listened attentively and fell into deep thought. Xiao ZiHan witnessed a serious side of Xiao He for the first time. Her bright almond eyes blinked rhythmically, her willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her snow-white teeth bit into her red lips, making her even more captivating.

After pondering for a moment, determination flashed across Xiao He's face as she said, "I must thoroughly investigate the identity of this Wu Xiaofeng. 'Minglin' Mahjong Club is the command center for managing the 'Fuchen' Street under the jurisdiction of the Xiaofei Hall. We can't afford the slightest mistake. The fact that he chose this specific location indicates malicious intentions."

Yan Mei added, "Little He is right. Based on the description of this person's appearance by Brother Xiao, he doesn't seem to be from Changliao. That makes his motive for coming to Changliao even more suspicious. Moreover, the 20 million he offered is an astronomical sum. Although Huang Xin appears composed, his flaw is that he's too composed. A person has no reason to be indifferent to such an offer, unless he knows that this territory is the gang's absolute core. Wu Xiaofeng must have sensed this and left. We know that the distribution of personnel in a gang should never be revealed; otherwise, it puts the gang at a significant disadvantage. This person is dangerous."

After Xiaohé heard Yan Mei's analysis, she felt that this person was even more dangerous. A fierce light flashed in her eyes as she said sharply, "Then I have to deal with him first."

At this moment, however, Xiaozihan burst into laughter. With swift movements, he embraced Yan Mei and Xiaohé again, saying to Xiaohé, "Xiaohe, don't be in a hurry. It's not too late to take action after understanding the situation." Then, he turned to Yan Mei and remarked, "Meier, it seems you've joined the Xiaohelp. Being an adviser for Xiaohe suits you well, considering your meticulous thinking. No wonder you've attained your current position."

Yan Mei smiled triumphantly, teasingly saying, "Someone is benefiting from it, gaining a priceless treasure for nothing."

Xiaohé, puzzled, asked, "What priceless treasure? What are you talking about?" Her expression transformed into a cute and innocent look, far from someone involved in the underworld.

Xiaozihan's eyes sparkled. He couldn't help but kiss the charming and cute Xiaohé on the forehead, then turned to Yan Mei and said, "Don't be too proud. A Yang saw through this long ago, analyzing things more thoroughly than you. In terms of strategic thinking, you might not be his match."

Yan Mei, tickled by Xiaozihan's beard, playfully retorted, "Is that so? Then I've found a worthy opponent. We'll have a match someday."

Xiaohé also became interested, but with admiration in her big eyes, she looked at Xiaozihan and said, "Big Brother Han, you really know how to choose brothers. Each one has extraordinary talents. Granny bear, is there a trick? Tell me quickly."

Xiaozihan tapped her little head and said, "You don't need to learn. Meeting me is the biggest gain in your life. Be content."

Xiaohé rubbed her head in frustration, clenched her pink fist, but soon deflated. After all, she couldn't win in a fight. With a cold snort, she turned away, ignoring Xiaozihan. However, as if she had thought of something, she turned back and said, "Big Brother Han, since you've joined the Xiaohelp, why not quit your teaching job?"

Xiaozihan waved his hand, saying, "No need for now. As a small character like me, no one cares about my identity. Those kids are interesting; I want to teach them for a while. I'll manage my time."

Xiaohé shook her head, loudly stating, "That's too troublesome. I'll personally talk to Huang Xin and ask him to make concessions. I don't believe that guy would dare to trouble you."

Listening to her, Yan Mei frowned slightly, thinking that Xiaohé still didn't understand Xiaozihan well enough.

Sure enough, Xiaozihan gestured, his eyes suddenly sharp. He said, "Since I've entered the underworld, I need to make a name for myself. If I can't handle such trivial matters, what's the point of making a name? Xiaohe, just focus on your own affairs."

Xiaohé saw that Xiaozihan was a bit angry and felt confused. However, upon careful consideration, she seemed to understand a bit more and gained some insight into Xiaozihan's character. Granny bear, how could someone as proud and domineering as Big Brother Han rely on connections? If I were him, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in front of my brothers either.

After pondering for a moment, she realized her mistake, but it was for the good of Big Brother Han. Why was he angry? Just at this moment, Yan Mei gave her a meaningful look, reminding her of what Yan Mei had advised earlier. Xiaozihan was the type to respond to softness, not toughness. However, Xiaohé didn't understand indirect and gentle approaches; she preferred direct ones.

In fact, Xiaozihan wouldn't really get angry with Xiaohé. He was intentionally putting on a show, annoyed that Xiaohé spoke without thinking. In his mind, he was still figuring out how to educate Xiaohé. Suddenly, he felt his hand being grabbed by Xiaohé, and then a soft, plump bosom covered his hand. He heard Xiaohé's awkwardly affectionate voice, "Big Brother Han, I want you to want me."

While her voice wasn't sweet and seductive, the softness of her chest was a good igniter. Xiaohé had played this move right; otherwise, Xiaozihan would have to teach her a lesson in a harder way.
