Chapter 9: The Dominant Landlord

In the continuous rain, Lei Tian nodded repeatedly and presented a large white shark as a tribute.

A few small shrimp, you guys need not worry. Since I have chosen this path, I naturally anticipated it long ago. Lei Tian's face showed indifference, but he was already filled with anger inside

I am Lei Tian, who are you?" Lei Tian pulled Li Hangong behind him, appearing unafraid.

Liang Qifang felt somewhat depressed; if it weren't for the fact that he happened to see Chang Mao and the other four unlocking the anti-theft lock of this building, Liang Qifang would not have appeared.

Zhang Fuyang and the other three exchanged glances, and they also understood that Liang Qi's statement about waiving one year's rent for Leitian after the matter was accomplished was, in effect, reclaiming the benefits extorted from Leitian, resulting in a loss for Leitian

The four individuals in the thunderstorm were momentarily taken aback by this sudden change. Upon witnessing Li Hangong being kicked, they all stood up, glaring at the person who had entered.

"Is it him?" Huang Dongyang was taken aback, clearly having heard of Liang Qi's residence.

Liang Qi's small eyes narrowed even further as she looked up and down at Lei Tian, "Is it just you? Aren't you afraid of being stabbed three times and thrown into the river to feed the turtles?"

Seeing Lei Tian, who appeared unperturbed like a dead pig in boiling water, Liang Qi assessed him. Just now, he had witnessed Lei Tian's punch directly; although it was somewhat ruthless, it was still quite impressive.

Uncle Liang, I am sorry, I am sorry, we are leaving. Changmao's face turned pale with fear, secretly resenting himself for forgetting that this was the rental room of Liang Qi. He truly felt as if he had been caught in the door frame; if they were to catch someone, they should wait until Leitian left the rental room before doing so

"Hmph, stop right there. Lei Tian, you bastard, what trouble have you caused that has come to me? These few scoundrels are your responsibility now; don't dirty my floor." Liang Qi's room was quite imposing, yet it conveyed a sense of wanting both parties to reconcile

Huang Shao, we have already found out the whereabouts of that little brat and have bribed the local thugs to teach him a lesson. However, we were stopped by someone, and that person is somewhat troublesome. Zhang Chang felt a bit guilty, as Huang Dongyang's task was only half completed.

Zhang Fuyang and the other three listened in confusion, looking at Lei Tian with eyes full of strangeness

"Liang, Uncle Liang." Chang Mao shivered slightly, and the steel pipes of the four lackeys clattered to the ground, their faces filled with awe

That photograph caused the person behind the scenes to jump out automatically, "Huang Dongyang, it seems the lesson I gave you is still not enough."

The annual rent is already around 7,000 to 8,000. Lei Tian pondered but did not nod. "Uncle Liang, let's discuss business openly, but I cannot engage with people from the underworld for the time being."

Behind him, there were four henchmen, each holding a metal pipe, ready to confront.

What a coincidence, Huang Shao, heaven is helping Huang Shao. Does Liang Qi have a daughter who just graduated from university? Is her name Liang Siyu?" Xu Menqing exclaimed excitedly

It is said that the Liang Qi residence is due to his daughter choosing to live in seclusion, according to that long-haired man. Zhang Chang seemed to recall something, his expression showing some disbelief

"Who among you is Lei Tian? Get over here, you bastards!" The first speaker, a young man with a rough demeanor, long hair, a faint scar on his face, and wearing ripped jeans, glanced at the five and shouted disdainfully

The damn landlord, the rent I managed to extort is going back again

"You all give it a try." A cold snort came from behind the door, carrying a hint of chill, like the cold wind of winter

However, what he did not anticipate was that Lei Tian's movements were even faster. With the same stride, accompanied by a left hook, the long-haired man's chin suffered a heavy blow, sending him flying out. Startled, the four lackeys quickly caught him. The long-haired man's chin swelled from the impact; Lei Tian was quite ruthless. For those who clearly came looking for trouble, how could Lei Tian allow them to leave unscathed

"Tsk tsk, landlord, I really didn't expect that you are also in the business. Well, I apologize for any offense caused last time, and I hope you can forgive me." The five members of the Long Mao gang fled in a panic, while Lei Tian's face was beaming with joy.

In Yongshenwan, in the house that Huang Dongyang purchased himself, Xu Menqing and three others stood respectfully to one side, reporting the information they had gathered.

"Uncle Liang," Liang Qi thought to himself, somewhat puzzled. This kid, when there’s no business, he’s the landlord; when there is business, he’s Uncle Liang. How shameless! "He’s not from the underworld; it’s my daughter. She suddenly said she has a boyfriend, and I’m worried someone might be plotting against me in the shadows. Lei Tian, you need to investigate his background for me"

With no outsiders present, Zhang Fuyang furrowed his brows and said, "Lei Tian, who on earth have you offended to attract trouble from thugs? Today, those with long hair and short hair didn't dare to touch you because of Liang Qi's influence, but you can't just stay in this house forever

On a rainy day, his demeanor instantly transformed from one of icy coldness to a warm smile. "Landlord, look at what you said; we are indeed exemplary young men. This brother with long hair, it’s not easy for us to navigate these streets. Today, it can be said that we have met without conflict. Let me be straightforward with you, what brings you gentlemen here today?"

Haha, that's right. Huang Shao, you know I recently got a girl, her name is Liang Siyu, and she mentioned that her father seems to be named Liang Qifang. Xu Menqing had a look of excitement on his face; this is indeed a rare occasion for a long face.

As Li Hangong just opened the door, a foot came kicking towards him. Li Hangong was caught off guard and was kicked in the back leg several steps. He bent down, holding his stomach, but raised his head high, saying, "You son of a turtle dare to launch a sneak attack"

"What trouble?" Huang Dongyang glared, as he was not interested in hearing such things.

As soon as the harsh words fell, Chang Mao stepped forward and delivered a powerful punch. It was in the style of Southern Fist, characterized by its speed and force. If this punch were to land, an ordinary person would surely have their face disfigured.

Lei Tian was somewhat surprised; it turned out that the landlord, whom he had extorted once, was not a good person either

"Alright, you little rascal, don't act all innocent after getting a good deal. I've already washed my hands of this. Just take it easy this time; I can help you deal with a few small thugs, but I can't guarantee that for next time." Liang Qi glanced sideways at Lei Tian, who was not a good person, and muttered.

With Liang Qifang present, several individuals dared not act arrogantly, especially since Lei Tian's skills were beyond their capabilities. They immediately took out a photograph and recounted the events leading up to this moment. In truth, they were intimidated by Liang Qifang and had been blinded by their own ignorance, failing to investigate the situation thoroughly.

In the past, although Lei Tian was considered a dominant figure in his hometown, he was relatively well-behaved in Nanning, avoiding trouble whenever possible. However, now, with the power of Nightmare, Lei Tian has the means to engage in battles with others.

Well, landlord, do you have any special requests or something? I was just planning to open a private detective agency. Since we all know each other, how about I give you a 20% discount if you give it a try?

Zhang Fuyang and the other three were even more stunned. Is this really the landlord who used to argue with them, red-faced and neck bulging, over the rent?

"This is how emotions are. " At a glance, Lei Tian knew who was behind it; that photo was indeed taken at the Yangcun intersection where someone was stolen. If he couldn't figure this out, then Lei Tian would be foolish.

"Well, today I’ve offended someone. Someone spent money to buy you a beating, and I, being naive, have crossed the line. I apologize for that." Changmao covered his chin, feeling quite frustrated, realizing that Lei Tian was not a kind student; it seemed he had long since turned into a wolf.

Regarding Lei Tian's physique, it is somewhat inadequate

"Zhang Chang, did you say that the house of Liang Qi is located in the center of Tongshe Village on the right side of Nanda?" Xu Menqing asked in surprise after a moment of contemplation

Listening to Lei Tian's half-baked slang, Liang Qi Fang was somewhat surprised, while Chang Mao knew that they had encountered someone from the underworld and could only sigh at their misfortune

"Good lad, you have some guts. Today, I, Changmao, will teach you what it means to have self-awareness." Changmao is quite a formidable character in this area, not to mention that this time he has received significant benefits to deal with a student who has just stepped out of campus.

Under the astonished gaze of Zhang Fuyang and others, Lei Tian began to conduct business. His leaps in thought truly left people struggling to keep up with the pace; just moments ago he was beating up thugs, and in the blink of an eye, he became serious.

The house rented by Lei Tian belongs to an influential figure. Although this individual has retired, he still wields considerable power and should not be provoked lightly. Zhang Chang, steeling himself, recounted the origins of Liang Qi's residence.

Private investigation is indeed a risky endeavor, as it involves probing into people's privacy. When encountering a domineering and influential target, one may find themselves in a situation that is difficult to escape from.

Do not think that just five little rascals are enough; even if a few more come, Lei Tian does not care. Before coming to Nanda, Lei Tian was well-known as a troublemaker in his area. Any fool who dares to provoke him will surely see blood.

Business has arrived, and Lei Tian is in high spirits, offering cigarettes and tea, completely forgetting that he had previously extorted 200 from Liang Qi's house.

The five individuals with long hair turned their heads and saw a slightly plump figure standing behind them, resembling an iron tower and a book.

Liang Qifang's concerns are not unwarranted; he has a complicated past and is quite well-known in Nanning. Although he has now turned over a new leaf, he has made many enemies in the past. While others may not dare to confront him directly, they might resort to targeting his precious daughter, which is something Liang Qifang must guard against

Upon hearing Zhang Fuyang's words, Wang Bin and the others also came to their senses. It would be a lie to say they were not worried about what had transpired today

Indeed, I do have some personal matters that require investigation. Lei Tian, if you can do this well, I will waive your rent for a year. Liang Qi really came forward, leaving Lei Tian dumbfounded. He was merely adhering to the principle of better to mistakenly kill than to let go; anyone could be a potential client.

At this point, Huang Dongyang was even more puzzled as to why this person was inquiring about someone else's daughter

Xu Menqing, good, well done, you must become the son-in-law of Liang Qifang, in this way. Huang Dongyang felt increasingly invigorated as he thought about it

"Malabazi, kill that son of a dog for me." Changmao covered his chin, exasperated, as four of his underlings raised their steel pipes, ready to charge forward

Huang Dongyang understood, and the other three understood even more, each one invigorated as if they had been injected with adrenaline

"Malabazi, Changmao, you have crossed the line. Do you dare to cause trouble in my house?" At this moment, Liang Qi's face was devoid of his usual Maitreya Buddha smile, his small eyes fixed on the five Changmao. With a swift motion, his plump hand slapped down, making a loud sound as it struck Changmao's face.

Zhang Chang looked at him, somewhat puzzled by his surprise, "Indeed, that's the place. What's wrong?"

As Liang Qifang was sent off, Lei Tianxiao was overjoyed. Suddenly, he thought of something, let out a mournful howl, startling Zhang Fuyang and the other three.

That also depends on whether that turtle can eat it or not. Lei Tian's eyes sparkled with interest; Liang Qi's words had become somewhat intriguing.
