After the two sat down properly, Ling Mufeng asked, “Young Master Dali, when will I get out? I have to go back to class as I don’t want my parents to worry about me. I haven’t called them for several days.”

Seeing that he finally returned to normal, Hong Dali nodded with satisfaction and smiled. “Okay! I will get you out in a few days. You should prepare for it, I will give you seven days. Remember to withstand your drug addiction. If you can’t pass this hurdle and continue to take in such things when you get out, even the gods can’t save you at that time. Do you understand?”

Ling Mufeng replied, “I understand! Even if I were to lose my life, I will never touch that thing again!”

“En, that’s the right mentality.” Hong Dali directly threw the card to Ling Mufeng. “Keep this card, go back to school and study hard. Remember, temptation always exists, but everything you choose is up to yourself. If you are sand, even if I were a brick, you would still be unable to build a house. Do you understand?”

Ling Mufeng’s eyes brightened and said, “I understand, Young Master Dali!”

Hong Dali patted the back of the chair and said, “The first thing you should do is rest and raise your spirits. I will go out and arrange things. Remember, if you touch that thing again, your life will be ruined forever.”

“I understand. Thank you, Young Master Dali.”

“Xiaoyi, stay here for two days to look after him.” Hong Dali arranged. “There is nothing much to do for now. You can come back after you have settled things here.”

“Alright. Thank you, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi wiped away her tears and said, “I will go back after everything here is settled.”

“Don’t worry.” Hong Dali stood up and said, “Let’s go!” He said with a stern face, “To dare lay their hands on those around me! Do they really think I am so easy to bully?”

…

After exiting Tianjing West City Prison’s gate, Tang Muxin pulled Hong Dali’s hand and smilingly said, “Dali, I didn’t think much of you in the past, but I didn’t expect you to be so reliable at such a crucial time, hehe.”

“Isn’t that a must?” Hong Dali said with a smile. “As a prodigal, if one can’t keep his lackeys safe, then he should just scram off!” As he spoke, he gently held Tang Muxin hands. Tang Muxin’s face turned red and lowered her head, but she didn’t shake Dali’s hands off.

Tang Muxin’s face was fully red, and her heart beat quickly.

Actually, Hong Dali is not as bad as I had thought him to be. He is actually quite manly at times. Tang Muxin thought.

At this time, the lackeys that had been following Hong Dali also expressed their opinions. “Young Master really treats us so… Ai, I will not say anything more. Otherwise, I’m going to cry!””I agree. Which Young Master would help his lackey when the lackey is in trouble?” “I think that for us to have become Young Master Dali’s lackeys, it was due to blessings that have been passed down for several generations. Not anyone is qualified to be Young Master’s lackey!”

“Haha, you guys, I’m not that good actually…” Hong Dali was praised until his face turned red. Thus, he decisively tipped. “Everyone, 5000 each!”

While everyone was boarding their cars with huge smiles on their faces, Hong Dali asked his driver, “Uncle Wang, how’s the investigation?”

“We have already done an investigation on the Cabinet Society,” said Wang Mingyu. “Da Tou is merely a small fry in the gang. It’s obvious that someone secretly instructed him to do it. Young Master, do you intend to…”

Since they couldn’t find the real culprits, Hong Dali fiercely said, “Then, we can only let them be the unlucky ones.”

Tang Muxin thought for a moment and asked, “Dali, are you going to get rid of the whole gang?”

Hong Dali folded his arms and said, “Yes, since they dared to harm my people, then they should not blame me when their retribution comes!” After saying so, he whipped out his phone. “I’m going to call someone to help now.”

…

Tianjing West Fourth Loop, Fengyuan Lake.

The originally calm Fengyuan Lake was very busy today. On the lake, a super cruise ship was parked.

Golden Yangtze River No. 6.

This was the new generation of the Yangtze River’s top luxury cruise ship line and had a qualitative leap in visual design and level of comfort. Even in standard rooms, the single bed size was the widest among all the different cruise ships. With entertainment, shopping, Chinese and Western food, and many other facilities on board, it would certainly let one’s time be fulfilling up on the ship. With more than 70 classic elements blended in the design of the ship, it made it look very distinctive. It seemed to be like a mobile water palace and was also a perfect place to enjoy the landscape, had the chance to be close to nature or engage in business and leisure activities. It was a place where one could have the greatest experience!

At this time, on this giant luxury cruise ship, there were all kinds of people everywhere filling the place. Pretty and well-dressed dancers swayed between men and women, hyping the atmosphere. Their gorgeous appearances made the rich merchants lose their souls and dance to their hearts’ content with them.

This feat was prepared by Hong Weiguo, president of the Sangle Group, for his only son, Hong Dali’s coming of age ceremony. Just the Golden Yangtze River No. 6 alone cost more than 30 million yuan, not to mention the cost of transporting such a huge cruise ship to Fengyuan Lake and the additional decorations and entertainment options added on board. Just the transportation cost itself was already a million. As for the costs of the wine and the construction of the environment on board, those were simply not worth mentioning.

Everyone was shocked by Hong Weiguo’s generosity in spending so much, but more of them realized the love Hong Weiguo had for his only son. Hong Weiguo’s love for his only son, Hong Dali, had reached an alarming level. No one would doubt that if anyone dared to even touch Hong Dali’s hair, they would end up with serious consequences.

At this time, it was close to 8:00 PM and the main character of the coming of age ceremony still did not appear. The seniors in the politics and business world all started to become somewhat impatient. After all, the coming of age ceremony was similar to a wedding. If the bride or groom were to be missing when the time for the ceremony had reached, anyone would be suspicious of what had happened.

While everyone was wondering, the most beautiful goddess in the entertainment circle, Li Nianwei, appeared in the cabin. Her charming figure and long, curly hair made her look very beautiful. Her princess-like white dress also revealed her unique noble temperament. With a faint smile, she looked around with her beautiful eyes. She was a goddess, someone who one could only dream to be with but not dare to be close to in reality. Her glamorous but cold appearance shocked many.

The timing which Li Nianwei appeared could be considered as perfect.

As a savvy person, Hong Weiguo naturally understood what to do at this time. He immediately picked up the microphone, smiled and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, my son has just called and said that he has some private matters that need to be solved. I believe that it will be very soon before he arrives. I’m very sorry for delaying everyone’s time. Fortunately, Miss Li Nianwei has come to join us. I believe everyone will not be too bored.”

Goddess Li Nianwei had attracted everyone’s attention since her entrance. Although everyone understood the relationship between her and Hong Dali, after all, there were not many who were smart enough. Many CEOs of big companies approached Li Nianwei to ask if she was interested in the products of their companies.

Of course, there were also many curious as to what happened to Hong Dali. Many of them asked, “Director Hong, did Young Master Dali face any trouble? If you need our help, do tell us and we will guarantee that everything will be solved easily!”

It was a must to know that it was a big matter to leave the guests unattended to during an event, especially when the main character of the coming of age ceremony had yet to arrive.

As Hong Weiguo was just about to explain, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and asked, “Dali, how are things going over there?”

After hearing that it was Hong Dali that had called, everyone quieted down immediately. Everyone erected their ears and listened. They were curious about what trouble Young Master Dali was facing, causing him to delay his coming of age ceremony.

“I’m nearly done over here.” Hong Dali said over the phone. “Xiaoyi’s brother was tricked and sabotaged. I have already cleared the debt with those who have touched him, but I still have some loose ends to tie.”

Hong Weiguo cellphone speaker volume was not loud, but it was just enough for the few people nearby to hear. As the saying goes, three people spreading reports of a tiger made you believe there was one around. In a blink of an eye, the reason as to why Hong Dali would be arriving late was spread around to everyone.

Soon, the entire ship quickly quieted down to a pin-drop silence.

Hong Weiguo asked, “Loose ends? Do you need help?”

“En, the one that acted was an organization called Cabinet Society.” Hong Dali asked, “Dad, are there any gang leaders there? I’m thinking of wiping out this Cabinet Society once and for all, to avoid any more troubles in the future.”

As expected of my son! To be able to think of such a move, to beat the dog before the lion.

Hong Weiguo did not hesitate to promise. “Yes, there is. Sanquan Gang’s Boss Jin is here. Let me call him.” After this, Hong Weiguo directly shouted, “Is Boss Jin here?”

Since ancient times, there had been a saying that all successful businessmen were shrewd. Most businessmen generally had some relationship with gangs. The Boss Jin that Hong Weiguo called for was a very powerful gangster head in Tianjing City. He had more than 300 members under him, and his sphere of influence was very large.

“Director Hong, did you call for me?” Soon, a fat man with a thick cigar in his mouth pushed his way out from the crowd. He was dressed in a revealing suit, with only a few buttons on the shirt, revealing a furry chest. Coupled with his bald head, he looked like a meat mountain. Followed by several lackeys behind him, he was the Boss Jin Hong Weiguo wanted to find.

“Haha, Boss Jin. My son has met with a little bit of trouble, and I hope Boss Jin can help me out a bit.” Hong Weiguo said while smiling. “Is Boss Jin free to help?”

“If your family’s Dali has encountered some trouble, even if I’m busy, I will still make time for him.” Boss Jin laughed and asked, “What happened to him?”

Hong Weiguo handed the mobile phone over. “In fact, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that my family’s Dali has a subordinate called Ling Xiaoyi. Her younger brother has been tricked and sabotaged, causing Dali to be very angry about it. I’m also not too sure about what he wants. You should ask him about it.”

Boss Jin took over the phone and said while smiling, “Is this Dali? I’m your Uncle Jin.”

“Nice to meet you, Uncle Jin.” Hong Dali continued, “Are you free right now, Uncle Jin? I have a small matter to trouble you with.”

“En, talk about it.” Boss Jin then walked to a quiet place before asking, “Is it done by someone from a gang? Which gang is it?”

“Da Tou of the Cabinet Society.” Hong Dali said. “I think we should just wipe this Cabinet Society out.”
