Chapter 2, Deeper and Deeper.

The golden-haired man pulled the woman's skirt, revealing her long legs. The woman let out a soft moan and wrapped herself around the golden-haired man. Seizing the moment when the woman had her back to him, Xiao Yu pushed the door open and rushed out, striking the back of the woman's neck with his left palm. The golden-haired man had no idea what was happening; before he could comprehend, the machete in Xiao Yu's hand had already slashed diagonally into his chest from below his ribs. The golden-haired man's body convulsed repeatedly, and he never realized who had killed him. Because of the woman's obstruction, the golden-haired man's blood did not splatter onto Xiao Yu. He wiped the blood off the blade.

"If the Golden Hair gang can come here today to sell drugs, tomorrow they might openly peddle them on the streets. If we turn a blind eye, then the day after tomorrow, even more people will flock to Fengxian Street. How can the interests of our Qinglong Gang be safeguarded in such a scenario? Yesterday, a prostitute on Fengxian Street died, and the cause of her death was an overdose. If she had bought drugs elsewhere, I and Shabao could have easily stood by, but the drugs were brought to Fengxian Street by Golden Hair, and this is not his first time!" Xiao Yu said passionately.

"I’m sorry, I’m tired, and I have class tomorrow. Goodbye!" Shang Xiaoyue's indifferent response was somewhat unexpected for Xiao Yu

"Why?" Tan Zizai's smile suddenly vanished. Xiao Yu finished the cup of tea in front of him in one gulp: "Since Tan Ye has entrusted Fengxian Street to Brother Bao and me, we have the responsibility to safeguard the interests of everyone on this street. Protecting their interests is protecting Tan Ye's interests." As Xiao Yu spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Tan Zizai's eyes, which were deep and unfathomable.

Shang Xiaoyue suddenly fell silent again, and Xiao Yu speculated that she might be crying silently

She overdosed on drugs ... ... "The foolish leopard is afraid that Xiao Yu won't understand, so he added, "Someone is selling white powder on our turf!"

Tan Zizai took a deep puff of his cigar, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke: "Get up, I will have Long San handle this matter, you can rest assured!" The two quickly stood up, and Xiao Yu attentively poured more hot tea for Tan Zizai.

To live a better life, one must learn to forget the past. Xiao Yu understands this principle better than anyone else; if he wants to establish himself here, he must adapt to everything here

"Master Tan!" the two shouted in unison

The two drove the car all the way down to the building where they lived. Xiao Yu finally broke the silence: "Bao Ge! Don't tell anyone about tonight's events, not even Tan Ye!" Silly Bao nodded; he understood Xiao Yu's feelings at that moment. Xiao Yu slammed his hand on the seat: "I suddenly really want to drink..."

The two arrived at the tea house, where Long San had been waiting for a long time. They hurried over to greet him. Long San maintained his usual indifferent demeanor: "Master Tan has been waiting inside for quite a while!"

Shang Xiaoyue seemed to sense something; she fell silent as well, and after a long while, she tentatively called out his name: "Xiao Yu!"

The foolish leopard also mustered up the courage: "It's not just Xiaocui; at least a dozen women on Fengxian Street are using the goods from Jinmao, and the reason they are using drugs is that Jinmao forces them to inject!" He said this without stuttering.

Tan Zizai's gaze turned to the foolish Leopard: "Abao, your progress is quite rapid. I heard that you also took down the Golden Retriever?" The foolish Leopard was taken aback, so startled that he dropped his teacup onto the table.

There is no need to be so formal; this is a teahouse, not a gang. Just treat me as if I were your own uncle. Tan Zizai always appears so approachable

The two hurriedly drove back to Fengxian Street after finishing their meal at https://www.hetushu.com. By the time they arrived, Xiaocui's body had already been taken away, and her twin sister Xiaohong was crying at the clinic's entrance. Upon seeing Shabao, she rushed over and grabbed his collar, saying: "Shabao... we paid the protection fee... you promised to protect us... why did you let Xiaocui die... why..." Her emotions were extremely agitated, and Shabao stood there in a daze, allowing her to push him around. She rushed over again, grabbing his collar: "Shabao... we paid the protection fee... you promised to protect us... why did you let Xiaocui die... why..." Her emotions were extremely agitated, and Shabao stood there in a daze, allowing her to push him around.

Tan Zizai suddenly slammed the table hard: "Good! Refreshing! This is exactly how we should deal with these bastards." Both of them raised their heads in surprise upon hearing Tan Zizai's words

"Master Tan... Jin... Jin Mao... it wasn't... my doing..." His eyes, however, were directed towards Xiao Yu

Tan Zizai was smoking a cigar while arranging the chessboard, with all the windows wide open. Despite this, the room was still filled with swirling smoke. Xiao Yu secretly glanced at the ashtray in front of him, which already contained five cigarette butts.

The foolish leopard could hardly believe his ears. Xiao Yu quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Master Tan, for giving us this opportunity!" The foolish leopard was still unable to comprehend, asking, "But... what about Fengxian Street... over there?"

Xiao Yu furrowed his brow: "Where is he from, and how dare he oppose the Qinglong Gang?" Silly Leopard sighed: "Master Tan... never allows the brothers to... get involved with drugs. In the Tainan and Kaohsiung areas, apart from Master Tan's influence... there is another figure, Zhang Sufeng. He is Master Tan's fellow apprentice and originally held a position equal to Master Tan in the Qinglong Gang. Later, when Master Tan became the leader of the Qinglong Gang, Zhang Sufeng always considered himself... more capable than Master Tan. He appears respectful to Master Tan on the surface, but secretly develops... his own influence..."

This was the first time Xiao Yu had heard of this tale from the martial arts world

Xiao Yu scoffed and smiled: "Brother Leopard, did you see those two girls?" Silly Leopard looked at Xiao Yu with some confusion.

Tan Zizai seemed not to have heard, still fiddling with the Go board in front of him

Xiao Yu was about to say something when he heard Shang Xiao Yue say, "Also! You'd better not call again in the future!" After saying this, she hung up the phone. Xiao Yu sat in the darkness, stunned, and after a long while, he fumbled for a cigarette on the bedside and lit it. He suddenly realized that since the moment he stepped into Taiwan, he was destined never to return to his former life. He might never again become the carefree and spirited Xiao Yu, and his changes had unknowingly created a barrier between him and everything from his past. That night, Xiao Yu could not sleep; memories surfaced in his mind one after another, and he finally realized how significant Shang Xiao Yue was in his heart. Because of this, he should distance himself from Shang Xiao Yue, ensuring that his fallen fate would never harm that kind-hearted girl.

The foolish leopard spoke: "To be honest with you, I... I have never harmed anyone before..."

Xiao Yu took advantage of the time while the silly leopard was repairing the car to light a longevity cigarette: "Leopard Brother... I want to discuss something with you!"

"We will firmly deny this matter, and Old Zhang can only suffer in silence, after all, they were the ones who overstepped first; the fault lies with them. " Long San nodded repeatedly. Tan Zizai gently tapped the table: "However, Old Zhang will definitely not let this go easily; we will certainly face a lot of trouble in the future"

That is ... ...

The phone of the foolish leopard suddenly rang, and he hurriedly pressed the answer button, his hand trembling as he picked up the call

Tan Zizai and Sha Bao both looked at him at the same time, and Sha Bao and the * picture * book were so frightened that their faces turned pale

The foolish leopard said: "Master Tan has always turned a blind eye to his actions until... fifteen years ago, when the subordinates of Zhang Sufeng were caught selling drugs... Master Tan had his drugs intercepted and thrown into the sea. Zhang Sufeng then turned against Master Tan, and after failing to assassinate him... he was captured by Master Tan, who... did not kill him..." A sudden expression of pain appeared in the foolish leopard's eyes. Turning against each other, he failed to assassinate Master Tan... and was captured by Master Tan, who... did not kill him..." A sudden expression of pain appeared in the foolish leopard's eyes.

Tan Zizai laughed heartily: "Kid, you have quite a way with words!"

The foolish leopard rubbed his eyes: "The golden retriever is merely an inconspicuous minor character. However, he has always been unscrupulous in his methods... Many of the prostitutes on Phoenix Street were forcibly given to them by his subordinates... It was through injections... that they became addicted to drugs." "Scum!" Xiao Yu cursed resentfully.

Upon hearing this, the foolish leopard became anxious: "No... you... you want to go in together..." Xiao Yu put his arm around his shoulder: "Let's go, just as long as you don't force me to change my clothes!"

The words that followed from the foolish leopard indeed confirmed Xiao Yu's suspicion

"The road... the road is... congested..." Stammered the foolish leopard in explanation. In fact, the traffic was quite smooth at that time; it was just that their vehicle was too poor, having broken down twice over a short distance of five kilometers.

Hello! Who is it?

Xiao Yu adjusted his clothes and observed himself in the mirror, confirming that there was indeed nothing unusual before stepping out of the bathroom. He closed the door and forcefully broke the lock from the outside. Then he dialed Shabao's number: "I am waiting for you outside!" He felt his voice tremble slightly.

Xiao Yu thinks more than the foolish leopard. Now, action must be taken. It is easy to say, but if it is truly carried out, it will inevitably provoke a conflict between the two factions. If the situation escalates, how will it ultimately be resolved? Will the Qinglong Gang allow them to take the blame for this matter?

Xiao Yu's face flushed with heat, and he hurriedly pulled Shabao away from there. Both of their moods soured, and after a long silence, Shabao finally said: "It must be that Golden Retriever who did it, damn it... He has been... secretly selling drugs here..."

This time, we not only have to go, but we must also succeed! Xiao Yu resolutely made the decision

Xiao Yu chuckled: "Alright! Don't push me. I have this flaw; wearing a suit makes me feel completely uncomfortable. Besides, you are the big brother here, and today I am accompanying you. I can just sit at the door and drink tea later. At Tan Ye's place, I have no place to speak anyway"

The foolish leopard was checking the circuit while saying: "Say ... ... "

When the two arrived at the Flavor Snack City, it was already 8 PM. Xiao Yu decided to indulge in a bit of extravagance and ordered twelve dishes. Fortunately, the prices here are reasonable, and including the drinks, the total came to less than 1,000 New Taiwan Dollars

Tan Zizai suddenly laughed: "No matter who took action, I must admit that this time it was done beautifully!" Long San looked at Tan Zizai in confusion: "Does Master Tan mean..."

Xiao Yu stood up: "The prostitutes on Fengxian Street are using drugs. We can make it happen regardless, but as long as someone comes to Fengxian Street to force them to use drugs, we will never let him go!"

Tan Zizai turned his face with great interest and said, "As far as I know, you seem to smoke as well?" Xiao Yu smiled and replied, "You, sir, are of noble stature, while I am but a commoner; we cannot be compared, we cannot be compared at all!

The foolish leopard sighed: "Damn it... this kid has too many people around him..."

When the foolish leopard wandered into the car, its entire face turned pale. Xiao Yu's anxiety was no less than that of the leopard. Although the golden retriever truly deserved it, this was his first time stabbing another person in the chest with a knife from hetushu.com, taking away someone else's life

Alright! It's settled then! The foolish leopard is a hundred percent willing

Xiao Yu felt somewhat moved; the silly leopard truly had no selfish motives towards him. Xiao Yu did not stand on ceremony and accepted the money: "Thank you, Brother Leopard. Tonight, the brothers will treat you to dinner; you choose the place!"

The two drove to the Gourmet Snack City in the East District of Tainan. Taking advantage of the sparse traffic, Xiao Yu seized the opportunity to practice driving. Unexpectedly, halfway through, the old car broke down again, infuriating both of them to the point of cursing.

The foolish leopard deliberately put on his only black suit and checked himself in the mirror five or six times before confidently heading out with Xiao Yu

Xiao Yu left the private room and went straight to the restroom. He saw the waitress delivering more than ten bottles of beer into the Golden Retriever's private room. As long as this guy's kidney function is normal, he will definitely come here to relax later.

The foolish leopard glanced nervously at Xiao Yu, who gently coughed and said: "Smoking is harmful to health"

Xiao Yu lit a cigarette, his fingers gently tapping on the car window, indicating that the golden retriever had already become alert

Xiao Yu raised his phone and said, "I will wait for him outside. You stay here and keep an eye on him. As soon as he steps out of the private room, call me!" Silly Leopard nodded. Xiao Yu further instructed him, "Your task is to closely monitor this guy through the crack of the door!" Silly Leopard nodded seriously.

Fortunately, a girl standing behind her timely supported her, and only then did Xiao Yu see that the girl was Xiu Wen. Her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yu, filled with anger: "Do you have any humanity left? Besides hitting women, what else are you capable of? If you have the ability, go find the person who caused Xiao Cui's death!"

What is wrong with me wearing this outfit

Xiao Yu also realized the seriousness of the issue; the dead were not important, but if other gangs intruded into their territory to sell drugs, the higher-ups would certainly demand an explanation from them

The foolish leopard and Xiao Yu quietly followed behind the golden retriever, trailing them into a KTV. Xiao Yu and the foolish leopard took note of the private room the golden retriever entered, and then booked the room opposite at the service desk. The foolish leopard could not understand what scheme was running through Xiao Yu's mind.

What happened? Are you crying

What is going on

Master Tan did not kill him... he merely severed his right hand... Later, he established an organization called the Dragon Extermination Society, engaging in drug trafficking. Due to the substantial profits, his business has been thriving in recent years... and his influence has been growing increasingly larger... Xiao Yu nodded, as he could imagine it.

After putting down the phone for a while, he finally said to Xiao Yu: "Lord Long San... let... let us handle our own matters..." Sha Bao appeared to be deeply worried

"Why haven't you changed into a suit?" The silly leopard couldn't help but ask as he saw Xiao Yu still dressed in sportswear.

All thanks to Master Tan's wise guidance! Xiao Yu deeply understands the principle that one should not flatter excessively. Master Tan indeed became pleased: "This child is teachable, this child is teachable..." Although the silly leopard did not understand what the two were talking about, he also laughed heartily.

Having just finished three bottles of beer, Shaba's phone rang. He answered the call: "Hello! Who is this?" As Xiao Yu leisurely sipped his beer, he suddenly noticed a change in Shaba's expression.

"Go ahead, your Beijing dialect is quite impressive!" Xiao Yu said with a smile

The bathroom door opened, and it seemed that someone peeked in. Then, a woman's delicate laughter was heard, followed by a loud bang as the door was locked from the inside. Xiao Yu was taken aback and looked through the crack of the door, only to see a blonde and a woman passionately kissing at the entrance. Damn it! This beast didn't even clear the scene before getting intimate with her.

Xiao Yu patted the shoulder of the foolish leopard to offer comfort

This golden retriever seems to have good sexual function and enjoys threesomes. Xiao Yu grinned and said, "I don't believe those four little guys can always keep up with him"

The silly leopard stopped, raised his head with a beaming smile: "Right... ah, buddy, it's time to change cars!" He had already learned this phrase from Xiao Yu quite well.

Tomorrow, we each contribute 300,000; if we are going to buy, let’s buy a flashy car! Xiao Yu flicked the cigarette butt out.

It is possible... it is possible... this is to meet Master Tan...

Tan Zizai's expression was chillingly cold, and Shaba suddenly knelt down: "Master Tan, this matter was initiated by me; if you must punish someone, then... punish... me... If someone has to take the blame... I will!" Xiao Yu felt a surge of excitement in his heart and also knelt down beside Shaba: "Master Tan, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Bao; I was the one who killed him!"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but want to give him a beating, and Tan Zi Zai laughed: "If you feel you can't take care of both sides, then just send one up..."

After leaving the teahouse, the two excitedly punched each other. Stupid Leopard stammered, "Bro... we... we have... we have made it..." Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Do you know what I want to do the most right now?" Stupid Leopard stared blankly at Xiao Yu, who pointed at the dilapidated car parked in front of the door: "What I want the most is to push this junk car into the river!"

Xiao Yu bit her lip and forced a smile: "It's me ... ... "

Ayu, this time it's all... all thanks to you! The silly leopard counted the 780,000 in front of him, feeling overjoyed. Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "Alright, it's still you, Leopard Brother, who is impressive; otherwise, how could I have such great ability!"

Tan Zizai pointed to the chairs opposite and gestured for the two to sit down, personally taking the teapot to pour two cups of oolong tea for them. Xiao Yu and Sha Bao hurriedly stood up again.

"Xiao Cui... is dead..." The expression on Sha Bao's face was very grim

The foolish leopard pushed a stack of money in front of Xiao Yu and said: "As brothers, we share blessings and face difficulties together. Here are 390,000!"

The foolish leopard looked at him in confusion, while Xiao Yu had already analyzed the pros and cons of the entire situation in his mind. If they did not go this time, the small achievements they had just made in the gang would be completely erased, and it would likely be extremely difficult to regain the gang's trust in the future. Perhaps from then on, they would forever sink to the bottom of the underworld. He did not have time to wait; he had to seize this opportunity: "Take me to find Jin Mao!" Xiao Yu firmly grasped the foolish leopard's arm. The foolish leopard bit his lip: "The knife is in the trunk..." Perhaps from then on, they would forever sink to the bottom of the underworld. He did not have time to wait; he had to seize this opportunity: "Take me to find Jin Mao!" Xiao Yu firmly grasped the foolish leopard's arm. The foolish leopard bit his lip: "The knife is in the trunk..."

The foolish leopard laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I... I am the landlord, so I should treat you!" Xiao Yu patted his shoulder and replied, "Alright! You look down on me, don't you? You've been treating me for half a month, so tonight, no matter what, it's on me!" The foolish leopard could only nod.

I have just taken over a nightclub on Guangfu Road, and I am currently in need of a manager. If both of you are interested, feel free to take the position!" Tan Zizai said casually.

Xiao Yu looked at the foolish Leopard with some confusion. He had finally recalled that Xiao Cui was the prostitute with the large bosom. Logically speaking, the death of a prostitute should be a rather ordinary matter, and he shouldn't be this upset.

That big guy with yellow hair is a golden retriever! The silly leopard pointed towards the east from the car window. Xiao Yu followed his finger and saw a long-haired man in a blue casual outfit, who was coming out of a bar with two women in his arms. Behind him were four young men, around eighteen or nineteen years old. From their walking posture and the position of their arms, it was evident that they all had knives concealed in their jackets.

Xiao Yu did not speak

Xiao Yu and Sha Bao did not expect that in the following week, the total amount of protection fees voluntarily submitted by Fengxian Street would actually reach over 1.5 million New Taiwan dollars. It seems that the bloodshed in Night Paris truly served as a warning to others. As a result, Sha Bao received a reward from the gang, extracting 50% of the profits from the protection fees.

Shouldn't we also consider getting a new car? After all, we are part of society, and driving this old clunker out there will surely make people laugh at us behind our backs

Xiao Yu rushed over and pulled her aside: "What does your sister's death have to do with Brother Bao? Please stop going crazy here, alright?" Xiao Hong cried out in anger: "Bastard, you are all in this together. You forced my sister to take drugs; it was you who caused her death..." Seeing that she was truly unreasonable, Xiao Yu pushed her aside, not expecting that Xiao Hong would lose her balance and fall backward.

I am more than willing to endure any hardship for Master Tan!" Xiao Yu quickly took over the conversation, and finally, the silly leopard reacted, grinning and saying: "Thank you, Master Tan... thank you, Master Tan..."

Xiao Yu set his phone to vibrate and hid in the bathroom. Twenty minutes later, he received a call from Shabao, which meant that Jinmao would arrive here in less than two minutes

Xiao Yu took another gentle sip of oolong tea, slowly savoring Tan Zizai's words

As the two were about to leave, Tan Zizai called out to Xiao Yu again: "By the way, next time you should wear something a bit more casual..." Upon hearing this, the silly leopard couldn't help but laugh, and Xiao Yu secretly made a funny face before running out.

In the stillness of the deep night, Xiao Yu tossed and turned in bed, suddenly recalling Shang Xiaoyue, the girl he had not been in contact with since arriving in Taiwan

Xiao Yu was not accustomed to this type of tea, slightly furrowing his brow. Tan Zi Zai observed closely and smiled, saying, "Aren't you used to it?" Xiao Yu nodded, replying, "I still prefer Longjing!" Tan Zi Zai shook his head, saying, "A Yu, tea is like life; sometimes you cannot rely solely on your own preferences. There are many things you may not like, but you must learn to accept them. When you can truly accept them, you will find that you have come to like them. Therefore, a person's intuition is often wrong."

Alright, you can go in and explain to Master Tan!" Long San appeared somewhat impatient as he pointed towards the private room where Tan Zizai was located. Xiao Yu tugged at Shabao, and the two of them walked towards the private room.

Tan Zizai furrowed his brows after listening to Long San's account: "So you're saying it was the foolish leopard and his gang who took down Jin Mao?" Long San replied: "I don't know the specifics either, and no one witnessed the situation at the scene. That woman had her back to the murderer; she didn't even know how many people were involved in the attack!"

Xiao Yu picked up his phone and dialed Shang Xiao Yue's number. When her familiar voice came through on the other end, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly became moist

Xiao Yu suddenly recalled that the father of the foolish leopard had sacrificed his life to save Master Tan. Could it be that Zhang Sufeng was the one who killed him

Long San had already called Sha Bao early in the morning, asking Xiao Yu and Sha Bao to come to the teahouse to meet Master Tan. Sha Bao was so delighted that he could hardly contain his smile, as Master Tan rarely met with the brothers from the gang during morning tea. However, Xiao Yu understood that the reason Tan Zi was willing to see them was certainly to inquire about the incident of Jin Mao's murder last night

"It was me who did it!" Xiao Yu suddenly broke the silence, and Tan Zizai clearly understood the whole situation; there was no longer any need to continue concealing it.

I... my father... died at his... hands...

Tan Zizai laughed loudly: "A Bao, I only heard about it, I didn't say it was definitely you who did it"
