If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

Chapter 77 Huadi's Request

After hearing what Liu Yi said, Boss Fan and the other two finally felt a little relieved. Although they had learned that Hua Di was willing to help them, they did not know the specific solution. More importantly, they did not know what price they would have to pay to get the gambling boat back.

Liu Yi continued, "First, you must cooperate with my lawyer friend to retrieve the boat from the police station. As for other issues, I will personally negotiate with Boss Yang and Zhan Yongfei. You don't have to worry."

"Thank you very much, Brother Hua. If you need our help in the future, please feel free to let us know. We will do our best, even at the cost of our lives." This time, the younger sister took the initiative to express her opinion. Ji Chi looked at her and smiled helplessly. He realized that the younger sister's character might never change.

"Okay, actually I need your help with something right now." Liu Yi said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hmph, so you're not a good person either. You just agreed to help me, and you're already asking for something in return before we even see any results. How abominable!" However, she only thought this in her mind and didn't dare say it out loud because she wasn't stupid. Chicken Wing's thoughts were similar to hers; otherwise, how could they have loved each other so much? They shared the same worldview, but Chicken Wing understood the real world better than her. He thought it was normal: I'm asking you for help, and I'm going to pay the price.

Boss Fan knew he had to make his position clear. He responded without hesitation, "Hua Di, speak frankly! As long as it's within my power, I'll do my utmost." After all, a seasoned underworld figure like Boss Fan naturally knew how to handle situations. He explicitly stated he would do his best, without specifying what that would entail. This way, if Hua Di raised a difficult issue, he could feign inability and avoid any responsibility. As for Xiao Mei's suggestion of fighting tooth and nail, even at the cost of his life, he would never act. As a seasoned underworld figure who had been a con man, Boss Fan prioritized his own interests above all else. However, in the film, he ultimately chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. The reason was simple: he knew his survival was impossible. This action not only successfully tricked Zhan Yongfei but also deepened Chicken Wing's hatred for Zhan Yongfei. He knew that only by doing so would Chicken Wing avenge him. In addition, his death will also make Qiu Jie resentful of Zhan Yongfei, prompting Qiu Jie to join the ranks of revenge against Zhan Yongfei. What he didn't expect was that Qiu Jie would actually give up revenge for his daughter. If he knew about it, he would definitely scold Qiu Jie for being disloyal.

Zhan Yongfei in the film appears shrewd, but in reality, he's a man who only chooses what's best for him. Therefore, he possesses some cleverness but lacks true wisdom. At the time, he didn't need to put such intense pressure on Boss Fan. He could have simply let him down slowly, like a frog in boiling water. For someone like Boss Fan, he wouldn't take risks as long as there was a glimmer of hope. As for Qiu Jie, he simply needed to relax a bit. Qiu Jie was solely focused on giving his daughter a warm childhood to make up for the suffering she had endured. Therefore, he simply kept a close eye on Qiu Jie and took no further action. As for Ji Chi, the situation was even easier. Ji Chi was driven by fame and prestige, placing the highest priority on his reputation. He simply needed to ensure Ji Chi won the Gambling King title. If he were clever enough, he could have even used some subtle tactics to sow discord between Ji Chi and Boss Fan, which would have been even more perfect. However, what did Zhan Yongfei do in the film? He not only blinded Ji Chi but also brutally beat Xiao Mei to death, making the hatred irreconcilable.

After seeing the expressions and actions of the three people, Liu Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a teasing tone: "Little sister, don't worry, I won't take your life. If you really lose your life because of helping me, then Ji Chi will come after me. I don't want to be remembered by others every day, that would be too troublesome." After that, Liu Yi showed a sly smile.

These words made Xiaomei and Jichi feel a little embarrassed, and they laughed awkwardly. However, Boss Fan's expression didn't change noticeably. He knew in his heart that he couldn't figure out Liu Yi's true intentions, so he didn't dare to express his opinion easily.

"Okay, little sister, you don't have to worry. I promise that you and Chicken Wings will be safe. Boss Fan, my condition is very simple. As long as I help you take back the gambling boat, then from now on, you must let little sister and Chicken Wing follow me." Liu Yi said immediately.

Upon hearing this, the younger sister was the first to express her dissatisfaction. She was young and full of energy, and felt that Uncle Fan had always been good to her and Chicken Wings, and that he was a trustworthy person. She was reluctant to leave Uncle Fan, and just as she was about to open her mouth to refute him, Boss Fan suddenly reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, signaling her to be quiet.

"Can I think about it?" Boss Fan didn't give a clear answer, but used the excuse of "considering it" to get by. He wasn't really reluctant to part with Chicken Wing and Little Sister; he just didn't want to show how important the casino was to him so quickly. He still wanted to get more benefits from Wah Di. As for Chicken Wing, although he had spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, he was nothing compared to the casino.

Seeing this, Liu Yi did not force Boss Fan to express his opinion immediately but said, "Okay, there's no rush. You should first cooperate with my lawyer friend to go to the police station to deal with the gambling boat matter. I think this will take quite a bit of time, so just think about it slowly." Then Boss Fan said goodbye and left.

Liu Yi had already made up his mind. He wasn't worried that Boss Fan would refuse his request. Even if he did nothing, Zhan Yongfei would certainly pressure Boss Fan, forcing him to make the final decision. So, the question was, why did Liu Yi insist on choosing Ji Chi and Xiao Mei? It wasn't just because he felt sympathy for the tragic fates of the two men in the film; more importantly, Ji Chi was a rare talent. While his gambling skills might be slightly inferior to Dao Zi, his composure and experience were something Dao Zi lacked. After all, Ji Chi had been working on Boss Fan's gambling boat for so many years, handling countless difficult situations. His experience and reliability made him the perfect choice for the head butler. Xiao Mei, on the other hand, while seemingly brash and hot-tempered, was actually a delicate and thoughtful person. She could skillfully handle difficult situations that Ji Chi couldn't resolve personally, making them a perfect pair. Furthermore, their deep sense of loyalty was something Liu Yi greatly admired. Honestly, if he had to choose between Xing Zi and Ji Chi and Xiao Mei, he would choose the latter without hesitation. Despite Xingzai's special abilities, Liu Yi isn't particularly fond of Xingzai's erratic personality and greed (Xingzai will be trained more in the future). Another key point is that Boss Fan only uses Chicken Wings and Little Sister as tools. If something were to happen that required sacrifice, Boss Fan would definitely sacrifice Chicken Wings and Little Sister. Therefore, both psychologically and practically, Liu Yi is determined to bring Chicken Wings and Little Sister over.
