Lawless Gangster

Chapter 71

A little later into the night, Li Shi Qing had someone brought food over to Xiao Li's room so that they can have dinner together.

Two bodyguards were standing behind him, but they were not the same men from before. Since the incident with Yan Ming and Liu Zi Cheng, Li Shi Qing has started to utilize all the bodyguards. Every day, four groups of men would switch off to protect him.

Xiao Li did not express much concern about being stared at while he was eating. However, Li Shi Qing appeared ridden with guilt instead and incessantly picked food for Xiao Li as a mean to pamper him.

Unfortunately, the phone kept on ringing nonstop, ruining Li Shi Qing's mood. Every time, he looked down to see who called, he would frown and disconnect it. After ringing four or five more times, it finally stopped.

"It's the new leader name Zheng Nan Fang who has just replaced Liu Zi Cheng." Li Shi Qing said rather indifferently, "Calling three times a day, nonstop like this, none of them have yet to not cause me any problems."

"Zi Cheng has a subordinate name Yang Ze, isn't he pretty good?" Xiao Li said.

Li Shi Qing did not respond to that but a while later, he said, "I chose wrongly this time. We will not discuss the gang's affairs anymore from now on."

Xiao Li lowered his head to drink the soup without any reaction.

Looking at him, Li Shi Qing sighed and changed the topic. "You don't have to worry about Xiao Yang. Before, Yan Ming had one of Lu Wu's subordinate become roommate with you brother in order to control you. But now that Yan Ming has been exposed, there is no profit for Lu Wu if he were to do something to Xiao Yang. When everything in the gang settles down a bit, I will send someone to get—"

The phone rang, causing Li Shi Qing to frown yet again, but just as he was about to disconnect it, his expression instantly changed.

He quickly connected the call, his voice ravaged with urgency, "What's going on?"

The voice of a male could be faintly heard from the other side. Li Shi Qing's expression became increasingly ugly as he listened to what the person said. His brows tightened even more as anger crept into his eyes.

"Wait, I'll be there in a second." After he hung up, he immediately stood up and gave Xiao Li a glance. He attempted to soften his tone but it was impossible to diminish the anger that beckoned to linger, "I'll eat with you next time."

Xiao Li nodded his head and watched as Li Shi Qing quickly rushed out with his bodyguards right behind him. The tall and short bodyguards from earlier were still standing on the opposite side of the door.

Once the room has quietened down, Xiao Li looked at his watch and continued to slowly finish his meal then he got up and walked toward the window.

He looked down at the small alley again. The sky gradually darkened, causing the sharp outline of the surrounding buildings to slowly become a blur. But, a red dot of light could still be seen flickering below as if someone was there smoking.

He walked back and called for someone to come in to pick up the empty plates. After the person finished cleaning up, bored to death, Xiao sat back down on the sofa and stared at the second hand of the clock.

Twenty minutes later, the sound of shouting and fighting came from the other side of the door.

Soon, the sound of the door being rapidly knocked on sounded off. A rather coarse voice said loudly: "Open the door! It's the police! We're here for an inspection!"
