Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Cao Xing, who had no place to vent his anger at He Yushui, went straight to No. 73 Gaoliangqiao Road, which was the residence of Mr. Ba.

A yard similar to his.

Seeing that the yard was still the same as before, and even the two guards inside were still the same, Cao Xing knew in his heart that Sun Zhihai probably had no ill will towards him.

Sun Zhihai knew how terrifying he was, and if he was not stupid, he would never go against him.

Cao Xing chuckled, and his body rose from the ground, and moved horizontally to the room where Sun Zhihai was without any sound.

The security guard outside didn't notice anything unusual in the yard, let alone the people in the house.

It was only afternoon, the door of the room was not closed, and Sun Zhihai was lying on the bed taking a nap.

Cao Xing didn't say anything polite and just floated in and sat down at the head of Sun Zhihai's bed.

This series of actions made no sound at all and was even less noticeable than last time.

Sun Zhihai was sleeping soundly on the bed. Cao Xing was not in a hurry and just sat beside the bed for half an hour.

When Sun Zhihai turned around, he suddenly found a dark shadow beside his bed. He was startled and opened his eyes wide.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Cao Xing, but he was still very surprised.

You know, he at least noticed something last time, but this time it's even more outrageous. Looking at Cao Xing's sitting posture, it seems like he has been sitting here for a long time.

"Master Ba, long time no see."

Sun Zhihai said with a wry smile: "Mr. Cao is even more charming than before."

Cao Xing didn't waste any more time with him and decided to get straight to the point.

"Master Ba must know why I came here this time."

Sun Zhihai smiled and said, "Of course, although I haven't met Mr. Cao many times in the past year, I know from our dealings that he is an open-minded person. This time he is most likely here for Liao Wu's matter."

At this time, the people outside heard the voices coming from this room and hurried over. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the figures of Mr. Ba and a young man, and cold sweat broke out on their faces unconsciously.

He was Sun Zhihai's confidant and had been guarding the yard, but he had no idea that someone had sneaked in.

It's scary to think about it.

Sun Zhihai waved his hand and said, "Go out. I want to talk to Mr. Cao."

Upon hearing this, the man respectfully closed the door and walked out.

Cao Xing ignored this little episode and waited until the man closed the door before speaking.

"Master Ba, you also know that I accepted Liao Wu as my apprentice. He is my only apprentice. I think you need to explain to me."

Cao Xing was very dissatisfied with the fact that Sun Zhihai's newly adopted son was seizing Liao Wu's territory.

He can say responsibly that if Sun Zhihai did not give a reasonable explanation, then Sun Zhihai's life would be over.

As for these people from the underworld, Cao Xing dealt with them using the methods that people from the underworld use.

Sun Zhihai knew exactly what Cao Xing meant. Feeling the faint murderous aura from Cao Xing, he organized his words in an instant.

"Mr. Cao, first of all, I didn't want to adopt Li Yuanchao as my adopted son, but a big shot threatened me to do it, so I had no choice but to obey. You also know that people like us in the underworld can never be on the stage."

Cao Xing sneered when he heard this: "So you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife? To divert the conflict?"

Sun Zhihai knew very well that saying the wrong thing now could lead to his death, so he did not lie.

"Yes, I had no choice but to do this, Mr. Cao, please understand my difficulties. If I don't invite you to join the Hongmen of Sijiu City, the owner will change."

Cao Xing understood that Sun Zhihai did not want to control the power of the Hongmen.

He had planned to retire a long time ago, but the Hongmen had its own set of rules.

If the leader is not a member of the underworld, then the Hongmen will become a tool of a certain force.

Sun Zhihai didn't want the Hongmen to become a tool of others in his generation, so he could only find a way to defeat external forces with external forces.

Seeing Cao Xing remained silent, Sun Zhihai continued, "The reason why Hongmen has lasted for so long is that it has never become a tool for someone."

"In the Hongmen, everything is done strictly according to the rules. In a sense, no one can really give orders, and the so-called leader is just a person with seniority."

"So the leader must be a person of high moral character and prestige. Only such a person can be listened to. Therefore, as the leader, I should put the interests of the Hongmen of Sijiu City first."

"This time, the people not only want to interfere in the affairs of Hongmen, but also want to control Hongmen. Moreover, they are using official power to suppress them, which is completely contrary to the methods of the underworld. Even if I die, I will not hand over Hongmen to others!"

After he said that, he stared into Cao Xing's eyes, and Cao Xing was also looking at him.

Finally, Cao Xing asked.

"I remember that I also suppressed the Hongmen. I killed Lei Zifeng at the beginning. Doesn't this count as breaking the rules of the Hongmen?"

Sun Zhihai shook his head and held up three fingers.

"First, you did not use official power. This is the most important thing and also the most taboo thing for Hongmen."

"Secondly, Lei Zifeng offended you first, so it's understandable that you seek revenge alone."

“Third, you’re terrible!”

Cao Xing laughed when he heard this and said, "Scary? Aren't your current enemies scary?"

"It's different. He is formidable with official power, while you are formidable with personal strength. I have a feeling that even if I point a machine gun at you, I probably won't be able to cause any harm to you."

Cao Xing was stunned. He didn't expect Sun Zhihai's intuition to be so accurate. He actually guessed it right.

"You know Liao Wu is my disciple, aren't you afraid that I will indirectly control Hongmen in the future?"

"I understand that there are not many people who can provide so much supplies, not to mention the whole country, even in the whole world. You will not take the Hongmen seriously."

"Oh? It seems you really know me well."

Sun Zhihai smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know you. I didn't dare to know you half a year ago. I found that the more I know you, the more I can't see through you. It even makes me afraid."

Cao Xing asked with interest: "You're checking me?"

Sun Zhihai did not hide anything from Cao Xing's questioning.

"Yes, this is my responsibility as the leader of the Hongmen. At least I want to make sure that you have no ill intentions towards the Hongmen."

Cao Xing was very satisfied with Sun Zhihai's answer without any concealment.

As expected, he is a veteran in this field. Sincerity is his most powerful killer move.

"Well, now that you've convinced me, tell me, who is he, or who are they?"

Sun Zhihai was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly spoke.

"Li Yongjun, Li Yuanchao's father, Lieutenant General, Political Commissar of Army Group B."

"Lin Ziyang, Lin Shan's father, is a retired major general and currently a member of the Shanghai Municipal Political Bureau."

"This Lin Shan accidentally joined the Shanghai Hongmen three years ago."

"He saw the potential of the Hongmen, and his father Lin Ziyang did not want to let go of this huge force, so he began to integrate the Hongmen distribution across the country. This is why the Li Yongjun united in Sijiu City and wanted to swallow us up in one gulp."

Cao Xing had no expression after hearing this, he just said calmly: "When will the Hongmen Conference be held?"

"Because it takes a long time to send news to the leaders of the Hongmen clan across the country, we booked it for two months later, which is New Year's Day."

"Okay, I see."

Cao Xing said this simply, then stood up and was about to go out.

Sun Zhihai quickly stood up and said, "Don't you need my cooperation?"

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "I won't be polite when I need you to."

After saying that, he accelerated and disappeared in front of Sun Zhihai, who rubbed his eyes quickly.
