Chapter 433 — An Liwen Comes Calling Again

"And what good would refusing to swallow it do? People need to endure—endure and endure, and you get used to it." Li Cihua waved his hand.
"I had thought of making a move on Tang Zhi, but now it seems that's out of the question," An Liwen said.
"Don't—absolutely don't! If you touch his woman, he'll never let you off, and even if he's only late-stage Yellow Rank, you'll never know a moment's peace in this life!" Li Cihua said hurriedly. "Unless you have an expert of an even higher tier guarding your side!"
"Right! You're right. I should change how I deal with Wei Zhao. Since we can't be enemies, then let's be friends. With him at Gu Mengyao's side, it's like having an extra informant—I can keep track of Gu Mengyao's movements at any time!" An Liwen quickly came around.
"Now you're thinking straight." Li Cihua raised his glass. "Come, let's drink to our cooperation!"
"To cooperation!" Now that An Liwen had found a temporary solution, he was no longer glum. "Brother Cihua, the people you've rounded up lately are noticeably fewer than in the first couple of days... the Fire Wolf Gang is facing a bit of a shortage!"
"Young Master An, you know as well as I do—there are only so many beggars and vagrants in Songshan City. We've already caught most of them, and those who heard the news have mostly run off. It's not easy for us to catch them either!" Li Cihua said.
"What about the disabled? There should be plenty of disabled people, right? They're a vulnerable group too—no one would care if they went missing, would they?" These past few days An Liwen had been seeing red over money; he had never seen so much of it, and the funds in his bank account were skyrocketing, driving him half mad.
"The disabled aren't so easy to catch either. Some of them are quite well-off and have formidable relatives—we can't just touch them at will. Our people can only stake out the shantytowns and the outskirts every day and snatch whatever disabled people they see!" Li Cihua said. "No matter—I know some underground bosses in other cities in the province. We can seek their cooperation!"
"Good, then I'll leave these matters to you, Brother Cihua!" An Liwen nodded. Though he was well aware that going directly to those underground leaders in other cities and cutting Li Cihua out of the deal would earn him more, An Liwen was a stranger there. The An family's roots were in Songshan City; if he suddenly overstepped into another's territory, he would likely be fleeced. Better to leave it to Li Cihua.
"Mm, rest assured, that's no problem at all." Li Cihua waved his hand...
What surprised Wei Zhao was that An Liwen actually had the nerve to show his face at the door again! When he heard Shen Yushu calling his name from the doorway of his room, Wei Zhao thought he must have misheard.
"Arrow Brand Bro, An Liwen's here again—he's come to take you out for dinner!" Shen Yushu shouted from the doorway of Wei Zhao's room.
"Oh? Why's he back again? Did he have fun with that inflatable doll last time?" Wei Zhao rose and walked out of his room, and there was An Liwen sitting on the living room sofa, his face wreathed in smiles, as though no conflict had ever occurred between him and Wei Zhao at all.
