Chapter 10 Everything is a Matter of Face

  Although Dong Xiaochuan managed to save Su Yu Chen for the time being, he knew that his own situation was also precarious, and even more dangerous than Su Yu Chen's in Li Ziqiang's hands. After all, Li Ziqiang was just a kidnapper, and there were no signs of him killing anyone yet, whereas Dong Xiaochuan had to fight for his life in the midst of gunfire.

  In a sense, he was fighting alone, with many enemies. If the Golden Triangle people and the drug lords coming to the Golden Triangle knew he was an undercover cop, they would not give him good fruit to eat, but rather reward him with a bullet.

  But he didn't regret it, what's done is done, and there's no point in regretting it. Worrying about this and that before doing something, in the end nothing gets done. Besides, what did Long Ya do that wasn't dangerous?

  Su Yu told her story in the car, and Dong Xiao Chuan was not interested in her identity as a rich family's daughter. On the contrary, he admired her father Su Zhihang for taking on the ransom of all four kidnapped people by himself and even getting the other three back first.

  "Your father is really a great man."

  "Great?"

  "Don't you think so?"

  "I don't think so."

  Dong Xiaochuan let out a small sigh and said, "Perhaps you're not a man, so you won't understand that a man's actions represent his character. The most important thing for a man is to have a sense of responsibility. I think your father must be thinking of ways to raise money to save you, even if you don't escape, nothing will happen to you."

  "Hmm." Su Yu Chen said: "My grandfather valued my father the most and also gave him the position of president."

  Dong Xiaochuan was not in the mood to listen to Su's family gossip, but after being kidnapped and suppressed, the little girl suddenly couldn't stop talking and said a lot.

  "What's your name? What brings you here? Is this really the Golden Triangle? It's not like I imagined... But it's still quite beautiful..."

  Dong Xiaochuan returned to his villa, and Shi Haiyang had also returned. He was quietly reading a book in the hall, looking like an intellectual. When he saw Dong Xiaochuan return, followed by a pure and beautiful little girl, he looked puzzled and asked: "Who is she?"

  Dong Xiaochuan briefly explained her situation. Shi Haiyang smiled and said, "So that's how it is, just take it by force then, can Li Ziqiang still turn the tables in the Golden Triangle?"

  As soon as Su Yu heard Shi Haiyang's tone, he knew that he was a big shot. He hastily asked in a familiar way: "Uncle, you're Dong Ge's boss, right? You're really great, and only someone with your style can cultivate such a good person like Dong Ge."

  Shi Haiyang was taken aback and lost his smile, saying: "You don't have to flatter me anymore. Your Brother Dong is my brother. Since we saved you, you should follow us and not leave our sight. You should know that this is the Golden Triangle, a very chaotic place."

  Su Yu nodded repeatedly in the morning and said: "I know, I know, I will definitely not add trouble to the two benefactors."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than several cars came speeding in from outside, and Shi Haiyang glanced at Su Yu Chen and said: "Your trouble has arrived."

  Su Yu's face immediately turned white and he muttered: "You won't hand me over, will you?"

  Dong Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, since you are in our hands, we will never hand you over."

  Su Yu felt completely at ease, as both Dong Xiaochuan and Shi Haiyang exuded an aura that put people's minds at rest. However, they still muttered: "What's in your hands? Are you guys planning to hijack the plane too?"

  Li Ziqiang is 35 years old and has been in the underworld for over a decade, with a reputation on the streets. When he heard that his two subordinates had lost Su Yu Chen, he was furious. First, he severely beat up the two subordinates, then ordered someone to investigate Dong Xiao Chuan's identity. Although Dong Xiao Chuan is not well-known, as a Ph.D. in the Golden Triangle, it didn't take long for him to be identified.

  At this point, dealing with the bodyguard of the doctor and dealing with Doctor Shi Haiyang is no different. But this matter can't be left like this, it's impossible to just let it go, if it gets out into the Jianghu, people will laugh at him to death. The famous Li Ziqiang, his meat ticket was actually snatched away by someone else, how can he still mix in the Jianghu?

  To deal with the doctor, he must first inform the general, because on the surface, the doctor lives in a villa provided by the general, so he has to give the general some face. However, he knows that the doctor is here to get money this time, and dealing with the doctor also benefits the general, after all, most of the money is in the general's hands, if the doctor dies, he will be secretly delighted. Li Ziqiang saw through it very clearly, a person who doesn't take care of himself will be punished by heaven and earth.

  "Haha, so it's Li Lao Da from Hong Kong. I thought you didn't do the drug business, how come you're preparing to now?" The general's ability to laugh at people made him seem more like a businessman than a warlord or a triad boss.

  "General, I've come just to see your mighty name!" Li Ziqiang said.

  "Haha, my reputation is nothing compared to yours. In Hong Kong, as soon as your name is mentioned, everyone trembles with fear."

  "They're all just nominal titles. General, I came today looking for someone."

  "Who is it?"

  "The bodyguard of the doctor, he snatched our meat tickets today. I think this is very unscrupulous."

  The general hesitated for a moment without speaking, Shi Haiyang and Dong Xiaochuan walked down from upstairs, Su Yuchen followed behind them with a rustling sound.

  Dong Xiaochuan had only heard of Li Ziqiang's great name, but had never actually seen him. Now that he saw him, he felt that his body was not strong and didn't look like a martial artist, and his appearance was dignified, making it easy for people to have a good impression of him.

  Li Ziqiang hadn't seen Shi Haiyang and Dong Xiaochuan before, but when he saw Su Yu following behind them, he knew their identities. "Doctor, I've long admired your great name, but your bodyguard doesn't seem to give me any face, snatching my meat ticket."

  He Haiyang smiled and said: "First, he is not my bodyguard, but my brother. Second, whether or not he snatched your meat ticket is still unknown, as far as I know, it seems that the girl herself escaped and relied on my brother. To be honest, this brother of mine looks quite good and has good kung fu skills, which makes him more likable to girls; Third, even if he did snatch it, what's the big deal? You can snatch from others, but does that mean others can't snatch from you? Even if he snatched yours, so be it. Does that mean I have to return it for you?"

  "You're indeed a PhD, able to speak so much reason. However, I don't speak reason, I speak face and fists. It seems you're not planning to give me face."

  Shi Haiyang burst out laughing and said: "You can also ignore me."

  Li Ziqiang sneered and said: "Since everyone doesn't care about face, we can only use our fists to speak. General, this is your territory, what do you think we should do?"

  He rubbed his shiny head, and said with a bitter smile: "You are all my guests since you came here, so the conflicts between you should be resolved by yourselves."

  "Alright, Doctor, you're right. If we can take something from others, then you can take it from me too. I understand that giving her back to us now would be a loss of face for you, but if this just ends like this, it'll be a loss of face for us too. We vagrants rely on our reputation, and since we've already come this far, we can't not salvage some dignity. Let's settle this with fists. I don't care if he's your brother or bodyguard, I've heard his skills are decent. I also have a brother who came from the mainland special forces, why don't we let them exchange blows? Whoever wins gets the girl."

  Shi Haiyang took a look at Dong Xiaokang and, to be honest, he didn't want Dong Xiaokang to stir up trouble at this time. But since it's already been done, there's no need to regret it, let alone think of escaping. As Li Ziqiang said, when walking the rivers and lakes, one relies on face, if face is lost, the road will be difficult to walk.

  Dong Xiaochuan certainly understood Shi Haoyang's meaning, and seeing his support also moved him a little. A man's feelings are grown in this way, no matter whether he is a criminal or not, as a person, he still has sincerity.

  "Alright then, let's exchange blows."

  Until now, Su Yu Chen only knew how much trouble she had brought to Dong Xiao Chuan, and thus also deeply realized the risk of saving her. In this era, although it can't be said that morality has gradually deteriorated, in many cases, when someone is in trouble even in a very safe situation, many people are unwilling to lend a helping hand, let alone in a place full of danger.

  She had heard many stories about the rivers and lakes from her grandfather since she was a child, originally thinking that they were far away from herself, but today she found out that it was so close. The experience she got from her grandfather, at this time even if she rushed out to return to Li Ziqiang's side would be useless, on the contrary, it would make things worse.

  A bald man in his thirties came out of Li Ziqiang's place, about 1.7 meters tall, with a pair of bright and spirited eyes.

  "My name is Chen Yang. I heard you're also from the special forces, and that you escaped after killing someone. So am I. Maybe in another life, we could have been friends."

  He took off his outer garment, and only wore a sleeveless undershirt on top, revealing his robust muscles that shone like dark bronze, each one seemingly wrapped around his body like a python. Especially at the joints of his body, there were large patches of thick, greyish-brown calluses, clearly visible signs of many years of rigorous training.

  "The bright energy has reached its peak, but the dark energy hasn't arrived yet."

  Others only see Chen Yang's upper body coming out with block by block of muscles, looking very powerful, but only a true master would understand that this is still not the manifestation of inner strength.

  When you reach the stage of internal energy, you can cultivate true energy in your body. Your muscles gradually soften and appear less robust. The obvious energy is also known as hard energy; the hidden energy is soft energy; from obvious to hidden energy means from hard to soft. When you transform your energy, you can achieve a balance between hardness and softness, being both extremely hard and extremely soft.

  "Dong Xiaochuan." Dong Xiaochuan struck a pose.
