After the villain gave up, the heroines came one after another

While waiting for Cassie Lacey to make coffee, Li Xinzhi did not sit idle, but touched the fabrics and clothes around him, kept praising them, and even took photos. He sent them to the group to ask Ji Qingjue and Nangong Nuoya if they were suitable for him. Of course, Nangong Yehai also sent a copy.

Ji Qingjue naturally complained rudely and said to take it easy and not spend money recklessly. Nangong Nuoya impulsively asked to buy all of them and use her as a model to show clothes tonight. Nangong Yehai, after spitting, asked to wear one of the sets to date her next time they met.

Ghost looked at Li Xinzhi like this and felt that he had become a rare human being. If Li Dashanren was extremely gentlemanly to ladies, he would be a green forest hero to men, especially dangerous people like Ghost, who were always tough pua and used cold violence from time to time.

But even so, Ghost still didn't feel dissatisfied. After all, although this boss had a lot of things to do, he respected him very much and his salary was also very high. This was much more like a human boss than those who only made empty promises.

"Ghost, do you want me to buy you a set? You seem to like these clothes."

After flirting with his girlfriends, Li Xinzhi turned to look at this subordinate and generously offered to give him a set of good clothes. This touched Ghost, who was still struggling with his conscience.

After all, this man really did as he said, treating himself as a carefully cared blade and a claw, not a disposable tool. After all, a killer cannot stand the light, and no matter how good the clothes he wears, he will still be in trouble.

"Why are you so generous today... Boss……"

""Fuck, aren't you usually generous?!"

Ghost scratched his head, probably because he was flattered, and responded a little stupidly, which made Li Xinzhi unhappy. After all, he had been accommodating Ghost's bills these days, but this kid was really rude and only picked expensive treats.

"You have to have something to keep yourself safe. It's time for you to risk your life. It's insurance to have more."

After complaining, Li Xinzhi stated the reason directly. The struggle with Zhao Linyi should enter a white-hot stage. Although he has the ability to kill those people who just followed him, at this critical moment, if he is accused of wounding someone, it would be like mud falling off the crotch of pants. It is difficult to explain even if he has the reason. Therefore, Ghost must do it for him. As a qualified boss, he naturally has to give his subordinates life-saving clothes!

"Boss!"

Ghost couldn't help but feel touched. It turned out that he came here today for him. It is said that a man will die for his friend. It is really a double luck to meet such a good leader.

"Okay, okay, man, stop being so fussy. Of course, it's not just about these things. There are also some important things that need to be dealt with... Ghost, the person you just killed was your compatriot, right?"

Li Xinzhi impatiently asked Ghost to calm down. It was really scary to be thanked by a man with such affection. But then he seriously asked Ghost if the killer he just killed was his old acquaintance.

"Boss, have you found out? Yes, it seems that you really angered Zhao Linyi and sent someone to take your life.……"

Ghost scratched his head and spoke helplessly about his guess. In the struggle, there is a give and take. Li Xinzhi framed Zhao Linyi, so he would be retaliated. But he didn't expect that the first move would be so cruel and he would take his life directly.

"What if I tell you that we are now in the wolf's den?"

Li Xinzhi put away his phone, returned to his seat, and inadvertently revealed a fact to Ghost that they should be in the enemy's base camp now.

""Huh?"

Ghost's mind went blank for a moment, not understanding what Li Xinzhi meant, but his words almost burned his brain dry. This place is just a tailor shop, how is it related to the base camp?

"Sorry for the long wait, Mr. Li. I am old and my hands and feet are not as flexible as before.……"

""It smells so good. I can't forget it after I drank it last time."

Cassie Lacey brought the coffee and slowly placed it on the table. Li Xinzhi smelled the aroma of the mixed coffee beans and nodded with a smile.

After adding a little too much sugar and milk, Li Xinzhi stirred it and took a deep sip. After Nangong Nuoya improved his bad habit of drinking navy coffee, Li Xinzhi had become accustomed to this sweet way of drinking.

Although Ji Qingjue always dissuaded him from drinking this way of drinking with too many calories. So during this period of time, he basically drank tea, but it was still nice to have a wife to take care of him.

"As long as you are satisfied...Mr. Li……"

Cassie Lacey was too reserved for her age. Her eyes wandered around, not daring to look directly at Li Xinzhi. Ghost looked at the old man's expression and felt something was wrong. He subconsciously put his hand into the lining, grasped the handle of the gun, and held Li Xinzhi's shoulder, ready to pull him down at any time.

"Ghost, don't mess around. I had crab cakes for lunch today, and I don't want my chest to be like that~"

Li Xinzhi raised his hand to stop his subordinate's vigilance, and pointed to the tie on his chest. A floating red dot kept moving there. He rarely showed up at Fox Company at noon today.

After affirming the recent performance and promising a very generous dividend this year, he invited his good employees and allies Nan Jin, Hoshino Rina, Kashiwagi Setsuna, and his girlfriend Ji Qingjue to a famous Western restaurant nearby.

Li Xinzhi ordered the crab cakes that he liked most in America in the past. Under the golden crispy skin was very finely minced crab meat paste. If a 7.62 bullet hit his chest, it would probably be the same. By the way, the little hedgehog paid the bill today because she strongly requested

"Boss……"

Seeing this, Ghost had to give up, raised his hands, and threw out the pistol in his arms. The killer's sixth sense told him that he was being checked. The same breath came from behind him, and his intuition told him that if he dared to mess around, he would be shot in the head immediately.

"The coffee is really delicious, Mr. Casey Lacey, no, I should call you Carter Goodell, you are really a smart man to be able to hide in the city!"

Facing the threat of being shot through the heart at any time in a desperate situation, Li Xinzhi remained calm, raised his coffee and continued to drink, then looked at Casey Lacey, whose expression had become serious, and directly called out his real name.

"It really lives up to its reputation. With such courage and magnanimity, it's no wonder that he can rise from the ground in the tide. I have heard of your name for a long time, Mr. Li Xinzhi!"

Cassie Lacey was not angry when she heard her name being asked directly by Li Xinzhi. Sitting on the sofa in the main seat, her temperament completely changed, full of a murderous and decisive aura. Ghost felt that this style was like a kind Santa Claus, who suddenly became as outrageous as Vito Corleone.

And what's the matter with Cartel Goodell?! Isn't that the boss of the hotel's branch in Donglu?! Although there has always been a single-line contact within the organization, Ghost has heard of the name of the general manager.

Although he has always been elusive, his methods and the ability to build order have allowed the hotel to continue to operate based in Linhai. Who would have thought that he was an old tailor?

"Your people attacked me. Why? Did you lose too much in Black Wednesday and want to kill me and then go all in? Or did Zhao Linyi place an order with you?"

Faced with this terrifying aura, Li Xinzhi was still very imposing.

He even deliberately crossed his legs and faced Cassie Lacey in a questioning tone, stating his purpose straight to the point.

No matter how scary the boss of the assassin gang is, he is no match for the old monsters encountered in the previous life.

No matter how powerful the assassin is, he can only do blood splashing ten miles away or sniping thousands of miles away, but the real power holders can make them kneel down and beg to be dogs.

"Mr. Li, if you know the details, do you still dare to come here? Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?!"

Cassie Lacey's face was a little ugly, deliberately speaking threatening words to intimidate him, showing an awkward expression in front of this young man, where can I put my face as an old man

"I bet there is no bullet in your gun, or you dare not pull the trigger. If you mean that, why let me live until now? Mr. Lacey, if something happens to me here, you know what will happen, right?"

Li Xinzhi showed a sadistic smile on his face and counterattacked sarcastically. Casey Lacey's threat, assassination is naturally subject to the basic law. If he was shot in the head on the street, it would naturally be an unsolved case, but if he got into trouble in the suit shop, the nature would be different.

Casey Lacey not only faces the risk of being exposed, but even offends the Linhai branch, and he will not have a good time. Some things can only play their original value in the shadow, but if they are exposed to the sun, they will only be reduced to ashes.

"Haha, Mr. Li Xinzhi...you are really a real lion...please forgive my slip of the tongue just now.……"

Cassie Lacey was silent for a moment, sighed helplessly, and finally gave in. Li Xinzhi was right. From the moment he stepped into the store, the general had already made his move.

Li Xinzhi looked at Cassie Lacey's submissive look and did not continue to attack. Instead, he poured her coffee and carefully added sugar and milk. The frightened ghost who still raised his hands once again admired Li Xinzhi's boldness and thick skin, who could actually turn the tables.

"Mr. Lacey, please, I am sorry for offending you just now, but I came here just to chat with you."

Li Xinzhi's tone changed slightly, and he asked Cassie Lacey to have coffee. He would not go to a dangerous place casually, but he thought that this old tailor was worth talking to, so he decided to come directly.

"Mr. Li... How do you know this place?……"

Cassie Lacey drank her coffee slowly, took a breath, and then spoke, asking this monster-like man, who had been hiding it for so many years, and was suddenly exposed. This blow was really unacceptable.

"It is not convenient to disclose this. I know the rules of the underworld. I came here just to ask you, how much money did Mr. Zhao offer to kill me? I can offer ten times, Mr. Lacey, you know I can afford it."

Li Xinzhi kicked his legs and interrupted Cassie Lacey's curiosity with a rough voice. The source of information was Nangong Yehai, a good rival and lover. Before she hired the ghost to attack her sister, she naturally found out the details of this organization.

The predecessor of the hotel was a mafia organization that emerged in Xixiao. After hundreds of years of development, it has spread all over the world. The hotel that took root in Linhai relied on Linhai's ambiguous policies and independence to gain a foothold in Donglu.

The business is naturally all kinds of business that cannot be put on the table. In addition to selling pills, arms trade, avoiding Tax business, smuggling, black market, etc. are all being done, which can be regarded as a very useful black glove.

The most important business is, of course, assassination. Because of the semi-independence of Linhai, guns are allowed, and because it is a Feng Shui treasure land full of money and disputes, all kinds of off-the-plate jobs are endless. However, in recent years, the Donglu government has strengthened its control over Linhai, and it dares not to act too blatantly.

Now that Li Xinzhi's life is being targeted, he will naturally not sit and wait for death. It is better to turn the tables and let Zhao Linyi be killed by his own knife. This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"How direct...Mr. Li, unfortunately, I have not been in power for many years. Now it is my nephew Ning Zhongze who holds power. The assassination of you was also his arbitrary decision.……"

Facing Li Xinzhi's fierce words, Cassie Lacey could only tell him the truth. He was just a retired tailor. Apart from mastering the power of self-protection, he was no longer able to have any substantial impact on the organization.

Of course, this was also a kind of luck for him.

In the underground world of corpses and blood, being alive until now was lucky, and being able to land smoothly from a high position was a good ending for Cassie Lacey.

However, a speck of dust in the times is like a mountain on a person.

With the arrival of the wave, the once stable channels began to collapse.

In addition, the hotel also injected a lot of funds into Zhao Linyi's company.

Now it is considered a total loss.

Therefore, Cassie Lacey can foresee that this nephew will run away next.

"Ning Zhongze?...Oh, he is Zhao Linyi's ally behind the scenes, right? I heard that this guy is in the drug business, and it is very prosperous~"

Li Xinzhi was not surprised by Cassie Lacey's words. After all, such a calm old man could not make a divine decision to directly attack the Linhai branch. Only a young and very arrogant guy could do it.

Of course, Li Xinzhi still pointed out the dead spot for the next negotiation. In this day and age, you can touch anything except drugs. It's like going to the toilet, and the stench can never be dispelled.

He has learned about the history of the hotel. Although this organization formed by evil people does bad things like drinking water, it still has the bottom line and creed. But Ning Zhongze started messing around after he came to power, and it was very prosperous.

Limited by the special environment of Linhai, like joining an umbrella, Zhao Linyi's strong initial funds are probably also from his deep cooperation with Ning Zhongze. They really have the same taste.

"Yes, Nakazawa went too far... But Mr. Li Xinzhi, ah, thank you... You know, people are short-sighted animals, the immediate interests are the most important, who will consider the future? Only those of us who still want to enjoy our old age don't want to get in the same car with him."

Cassie Lacey pulled out a Hardman from her shirt pocket. Although the doctor had warned him that he should quit smoking if he wanted to live a few more years, people always want to calm down with a cigarette when they encounter troubles. Li Xinzhi was very considerate and took the lighter on the table to light the old man's cigarette.

After expressing his gratitude, Cassie Lacey took a puff and spoke his thoughts. In the smoke, the underground emperor who had been able to turn the tide in the past sighed helplessly. No matter how powerful the past was, it was over. Li Xinzhi saw the afterimage of the past from this scene, not only of Cassie Lacey, but also of his own. At the end of his life, he also looked like a hero with a short breath. Although he still held power in his hands, people were still afraid of him.

But those who should be killed have been killed, those who should be loved are in the arms of others, and important family members have left him early. Everyone is afraid of him and dare not approach him. It is really helpless to think about it.

"Boss Lacey... is he also a gangster?"

Perhaps because he felt sympathy for Cassie Lacey, Li Xinzhi's tone softened and he started to talk about family matters. He had a good impression of the boss, and now that he was on a business trip, he probably wanted him to stay out of the spotlight.

"No... Lacey... is a very good kid who just wants to be a good tailor... If there is retribution, I want it to be all my fault.……"

Cassie Lacey denied vaguely. Liu Lacey was kicked out by him to Yunjing City in Qiujinchuan, and went there in the name of opening a new store, taking all his property with him. After all, he had lived to this point in his life and had no desire to pursue other things. His only wish was the safety of his descendants.

"……Mr. Lacey, if your store sells inferior products, that is, clothes without bulletproof effect, what do you think customers will think of you? Oh~ I guess we won’t see it, after all, he has gone to find God to reincarnate~"

Li Xinzhi looked at the ceiling and told a cold joke regardless of the atmosphere, which made the ghost who was just on high alert roll his eyes at him, but Cassie Lacey didn't think much about it, instead his expression began to become serious.

Li Xinzhi hasn't said a word of nonsense until now. He was reminding himself tactfully that if Ning Zhongze got into trouble, he couldn't stay out of it.

"Mr. Cassi, the more you fear something, the more likely it is that it will happen. Mr. Ning is powerful, but if you hand over the steering wheel to a guy addicted to gambling, you will only end up in destruction. Haven't you noticed that the wind has changed? Let me reveal a piece of news... The Donglu government has decided to rescue the market, and the first batch of funds will be 300 billion to stabilize the market."

Li Xinzhi looked at this weathered old guy, talking about his thoughts on Ning Zhongze, and had to admit his ability, but this guy was completely an addicted gambler, a person who liked to break the rules to make short-term profits. Such a person would not bring a bright future.

And if it turns over one day, all the hotel owners will definitely pay the price. This is how liquidation works. It is impossible to target only him, but all those who have a relationship with him will be implicated.

This is what Fang Xuemei told Li Xinzhi when he was at the Fang family. As a famous family for many years, he was naturally familiar with this set of rules, but the funny thing is that the Fang family was eventually raised by himself. The monster was destroyed, and this person was me.

After saying the bad things, the next thing was good things. Li Xinzhi cleared his throat, and Cassie Lacey gave a spoiler of the next policy of the central government of Donglu. Linhai must not fall, otherwise it will form a domino effect, lose confidence in the market, and cause a greater impact in the country.

However, it was also at this time that the high-risk nature of the financial city as a window to the outside world was seen. The Donglu government began to lay out the financial centers that were directly regulated in the country, namely Baijing and Yunjing. Of course, that was a story ten years later. His lovely junior Wakabayashi Kiyokawa was probably still in elementary school.

"Really?"

Cassie Lacey exclaimed when he heard the news. He knew that Li Xinzhi was not making up stories. He was the new second-in-command of the Linhai branch and the future son-in-law of the Nangong family. Naturally, he knew this kind of inside information in advance.

"Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. After accepting the life-saving elixir, you should know what to do next, Mr. Cassi, right?"

Li Xinzhi sneered at Cassi Lacey, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm. There is no free help in this world. Linhai, which is actually autonomous and can issue independent trade currency, will naturally have to cede power as a price.

Once the central government is out, new powerful and highly organized forces will enter Linhai. Those who are still breaking the rules will naturally be sacrificed as the first bird. Li Xinzhi is reminding Cassi Lacey that times are changing.

""Gu!"

Hearing Li Xinzhi's words, Cassi Lacey's expression became very distorted. He knew that what Li Xinzhi said was right. Once the Donglu government officially took over the order, the ship of the old era was doomed to sink, and no one could escape. But Ning Zhongze was perfect, a remnant of the old era who possessed all the advantages.

"So, do you want to cooperate with us?"

Li Xinzhi made an invitation at the right time. Facing a guy who deeply understood his own situation, his behavior was undoubtedly to send a pillow to someone who was sleepy. The Linhai branch had the background of the Nangong family, so naturally there was no need to worry about the changes in the times. Even the continuous donations and taxes in recent days, actively giving the big piece of the cake to the central government, were already a ticket to the new era.

At this time, Cassie Lacey could only agree to this cooperation. Who would refuse the active invitation of the umbrella? This was something that he might not get even if he knelt down in normal times.

"Mr. Li... why are you looking for an old man like me... I won't live long……"

Cassie Lacey suppressed her excitement and asked Li Xinzhi for details. The pie that was delivered to her door was too easy to get, which would make her feel numb. However, Li Xinzhi's invitation was indeed very tempting.

"Because you are an elder, you naturally have to consider the future and the offspring. Young people are too focused on the sesame seeds in front of them, and they don't have the patience to wait for the watermelon to ripen."

Li Xinzhi saw that Cassie Lacey was already tempted, so he spoke directly, because only with such a senior and knowledgeable person can there be a long-term cooperation foundation. Joining forces with a bomb like Ning Zhongze will only harm himself in the future.

"Of course, you must also give me a token of your loyalty. I don't want to be tainted by the bad reputation of working with drug dealers. If you want to get ashore, please cut off all ties with me."

After Li Xinzhi finished speaking, he naturally gave his conditions. He could help Cassie Lacey get a ticket to the New Era, but the prerequisite was that he was a pure person. Otherwise, if something went wrong in the future, he, as the introducer, would also be dragged into the water. This is the law of struggle. What determines victory or defeat is never the advantage on paper, but how few mistakes you make.

"Haha... Does this count as... a fight between us?"

Cassie Lacey smiled helplessly. Sure enough, this boat ticket was not so easy to get. If you want to get ashore cleanly, you must pay a heavy price. Ning Zhongze wanted to kill Li Xinzhi, so Li Xinzhi would naturally not let him go. But it was not easy to start a war directly. The best way was to provoke civil unrest in the hotel. This young guy was really a monster.

"That's right, Mr. Lacey is really a smart man."

Li Xinzhi smiled and nodded to confirm.

He always liked to make overt plots.

Although plots can gain benefits in the short term, they will always leave handles.

It is better to announce your strategy openly.

This situation of favorable time, favorable location and favorable people cannot allow Cassie Lacey to refuse.

Whether to successfully land and protect his descendants or one day in the future, his family will be dragged down by his runaway nephew and liquidated.

Everyone knows what to choose.

"I have watched Nakazawa grow up since he was a child...his father has been kind to me...I never thought it would come to this.……"

Cassie Lacey sighed helplessly. If Liu Lacey had become an ordinary person who had nothing to do with darkness as he wished, then Ning Zhongze would be his most satisfactory successor. He was not a son, but he was better than a son.

If he was going to send off his son, he would have to kill this successor. It was really helpless to think about it, but he could not afford to hesitate. This was the only chance before him. If he could not seize it, a terrible future would surely happen.

"I understand, Mr. Li, you don't have to worry about cleaning up the mess, I will do it, and we will fully support your fight with Mr. Zhao, and I hope you can keep your promise."

Cassie Lacey lowered her head, made her own choice, and was determined to cooperate with Li Xinzhi. The old man stood up and bowed solemnly to Li Xinzhi, conveying his determination.

"I dare not accept such a gift, Mr. Cassi, don't worry, since you are so sincere, I will keep my promise."

Li Xinzhi helped Cassi Lacey up, with a satisfied look on his face. He knew that this smart man had boarded his ship, so he naturally had to respect him. What followed was the struggle of the iron-blooded man.

"So...Mr. Li, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"I need reliable helpers... and guns, lots of guns, the more the better."

Cassie Lacey looked at Li Xinzhi and asked him in a low voice what kind of help he needed. Li Xinzhi murmured for a moment, then smiled and said what he wanted.

At that moment, Cassie Lacey felt that he was also a man of iron blood.
