Dog Six and the others went to Guangji Island for a "vacation" and mountain climbing. Apart from Yu Mingyuan, Kong Zhengwei was the only man who wasn't interested in the young girls, which shows that this person's preferences were somewhat like those of Cao Cao.

...

11 AM.

Cheng Gang and the others went to Xu Hu's hall in the Zha Nan Wharf.

"I can't find Tattooed Dragon for the time being," Cheng Gang said to Xu Hu in a low voice, "But we can't wait any longer. We need to get the storefront quickly."

"The higher-ups have spoken, and they don't want us to make a big fuss." Xu Hu frowned and replied, "If you can't lock down Tattooed Dragon, and Lao You and the others are sticking together, this matter will be difficult to handle."

"Lao You is definitely connected to Tattooed Dragon." Cheng Gang bent over and said, "I have a way to send a message to Tattooed Dragon and force him to hand over the storefront."

Xu Hu turned his head to look at him, "Are you confident?"

"Yes." Cheng Gang insisted, "Wei Xiangzuo has run away and must have contact with people below in private. We can't let him hide in the dark and control things from afar. If we drag this on... it won't do us any good."

Xu Hu pondered for a long time, then put his hands together and replied, "Then you go do it."

Cheng Gang was stunned for a moment, and could only bite the bullet and nod, "Okay, I'll take people to handle it."

"Go ahead," Xu Hu waved his hand, "You guys go with Gangzi."

"Okay." The strong man who had been following Cheng Gang replied succinctly.

After obtaining Xu Hu's consent, Cheng Gang led the group out of the hall. Xu Hu watched his back and lowered his head to pick up his teacup.

Diagonally across from him, a middle-aged man took a puff of his cigarette and commented with a sneer, "Cheng Gang has been an old brother of Wei Xiangzuo for many years. Now that he's suddenly turned against him, he's even more ruthless than an enemy. Huzi, this guy is insidious. Once you're done with him, you should abandon him."

Xu Hu shook his head, "I have a different opinion than you."

"What's different?"

"Anyone who's willing to follow me, as long as we agree to let bygones be bygones, then we have to let bygones be bygones." Xu Hu replied while drinking tea, "If you want to recruit Lao Wei's people, you have to make them respect you in their hearts. If I abandon Cheng Gang after using him, who would dare to come over? There's no problem in guarding against him, but he has the ability, so I'll use him."

The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully.

"To be a gang leader, you have to have the mindset of a gang leader." Xu Hu put down his teacup, "We're in the lowest of trades, so you can't expect a bunch of social outcasts to talk about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and fidelity. That's asking too much."

"You're right," the other man nodded.

...

In the afternoon, Tianhong Port.

Lao You was sitting in the gambling den, playing mahjong.

"Ring ring ring!"

A phone rang, and Lao You took out his phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"...What...what are you doing?" A woman's voice sounded.

"I'm at the shop, what's wrong?" Lao You asked.

"I...I'm not feeling well, I have a fever." The woman said softly, "I called a doctor to come home and see me, and he said I'm pregnant, so I don't dare to take any medicine. I want to go to the hospital to get checked."

"Is it serious?"

"It's very uncomfortable, I have no energy."

"...!" Lao You frowned: "Wait, I'll have someone send you there."

"You haven't come to see me in over twenty days." The woman said in a low voice, "Can...can you come with me?"

"I can't leave right now," Lao You replied, "I have a lot of things going on recently..."

Hearing Lao You's words, the woman was silent for dozens of seconds before replying in a cold voice, "Okay, then you go ahead and be busy, don't bother."

"I said, I'll have someone send you there."

"No need." The other party replied and hung up the phone.

Lao You frowned, looked at the phone screen, and lowered his head to dial back, but the other party hung up again.

After finishing a hand of cards, Lao You impatiently stood up, waved his hand, and shouted, "Er Li, come over and keep an eye on things for a while, I'm going out."

"Okay, bro!" A young man walked over.

Just like that, Lao You took more than a dozen people in two cars and rushed to Fukuoka District.

...

Lao You used to be just a long-time idler in the wharf gang. His older brother, Tattooed Dragon, was a foreman under Wei Xiangzuo, in charge of more than a dozen boats, mainly responsible for helping people buy smuggled goods outside the port. In other words, he smuggled whatever the buyer needed. The other party would place an order in advance, and then he would purchase the goods.

Tattooed Dragon's status with Wei Xiangzuo was quite high, which led to Lao You's comfortable life. He looked after a few small gambling dens for Tattooed Dragon in the port, and didn't participate in the maritime business, living a very carefree life.

After Wei Xiangzuo's accident, Tattooed Dragon was seriously injured and disappeared. Lao You had no choice but to step up and take charge of the situation.

Lao You has a wife at home, who is currently taking their children to school in the Third District, and he also has countless lovers in Dragon City. Last year, he met a girl who was a reception manager at a hotel, and the two hit it off. The latter even became pregnant with his child.

The woman who called Lao You just now was this lover, but very few people around Lao You knew about her.

The car drove all the way to a high-end rental apartment in Fukuoka District. Lao You took six people and walked upstairs, while the others waited in the car.

The group took the elevator to the twelfth floor and rang the doorbell of the house on the left.

...

In the evening, around 7:30 PM.

At the entrance of the Second Road Night Market in Tianhong Port, a man with a cigarette in his mouth and a baseball cap on his head appeared in the alley at the corner of the street.

The streetlights were dim, reflecting the man's cheeks. It was Wei Xiangzuo, who had just returned from Sinaloa.

Wei Xiangzuo took a puff of his cigarette and dialed Lao You's number again, but the latter still didn't answer.

Wei Xiangzuo's purpose in looking for Lao You was to find out the whereabouts of Tattooed Dragon, but he had been unable to contact the other party since he returned in the afternoon.

The current situation was rather complicated. Wei Xiangzuo couldn't show up publicly in the port and attract Xu Hu's attention, so he couldn't go to the gambling den or the places he used to frequent.

After smoking a cigarette in the alley, Wei Xiangzuo planned to leave the port first and go to Fukuoka District to see a friend, and then contact Lao You later.

After making up his mind, Wei Xiangzuo lowered his head and turned to leave.

"Bang!"

Just then, a figure suddenly fell from the rooftop of the three-story building on the left side of the night market, and crashed heavily onto the crowded street.

"Ah!"

Immediately afterwards, screams rang out. Wei Xiangzuo heard the commotion, turned his head, and leaned forward behind the crowd watching the excitement.

Under the light, Lao You was lying on the ground covered in blood, and the shape of his legs below the knees was completely twisted.

Wei Xiangzuo looked at him, stunned.

...

Hua Du, First District.

Yu Mingyuan followed his uncle, Yu Jinhang, to a very high-end hotel. As soon as they entered the room, a middle-aged man got up and introduced himself, "Lao Yu, this is Secretary-General Liu of the Dragon City Municipal People's Congress..."

As Yu Mingyuan watched his uncle exchange pleasantries with the other party, he lowered his head and sent a message to Su Tianyu: "Building relationships."
