Lianzhou, Xinghai Plaza, Kowloon hotpot restaurant.

As a time-honored hot pot restaurant in Lianzhou, even in the summer, the business here is still in full swing and the tables are full.

A group of mean-looking middle-aged people were laughing loudly around a large dining table, completely ignoring the feelings of the people around them. Logically speaking, this is nothing. Although the Kowloon hot pot restaurant is not small in appearance, the interior layout is no different from ordinary food stalls. It is not an elegant place, and it is okay if it is noisy. However, in order to free up space and make more money, the boss here arranged the tables and chairs between the guests very tightly, which made it easy for guests at the next table to have physical contact. This group of ruffian middle-aged people who look like a gangster not only indulged in sex, They also moved their respective seats far apart, occupying a large space and seriously affecting the dining of other guests at neighboring tables.

However, when the other customers saw this group of tattooed, shirtless, rough men, they were too angry to say anything, and they all wanted to finish their meal and leave. This group of old hooligans drank a lot of wine at the dinner table, and gradually became bolder. They actually played a game of guessing to decide who would seduce the young girls nearby, which frightened a group of college students at the back table into despair. When they saw this, these old gangsters burst out laughing, blushing and speaking in pornographic tones, amusing themselves with dirty jokes, which made the surrounding guests frown.

At this time, another group of young people sat behind them. This group of old gangsters cast their eyes over unscrupulously. When they discovered that they were all men, they were very disappointed and sighed in front of them. This group of young people didn't seem to be afraid of the old gangster at the front table, and sat down without changing their expressions.

After three rounds of drinking, a bald man among the old gangsters felt that the seat was not comfortable enough, so he moved his seat back and leaned his fat body on it, looking as if he had eaten and drank enough. The stubby-haired young man sitting behind him picking up food couldn't help but froze. He turned around and patted the bald man on the shoulder, accusing him: "Uncle, can you sit down well? How can I eat like this?"

The bald man was furious when he heard this. He stood up and pointed at the back of the short-haired young man's head and said provocatively: "I just like to sit like this, don't you accept it?"

The bald gangster was tall and muscular, and looked extremely fierce. However, this short-haired young man was only of medium build and looked inexperienced in the world. The nearby guests were all sweating for this young man, for fear that He was beaten for a moment of bravery. This bald man looked like a gangster, and he must have been beaten lightly or not.

Finding that the young man with the short-cut hair was silent, the bald man smiled contemptuously and planned to give up. Unexpectedly, the young man with the short-cut hair and his tablemates all stood up and yelled at him: "Are you looking for death?"

The bald man had a sinister smile on his face. Unexpectedly, these young men were quite loyal. Needless to say, the brothers behind him also stood up. In terms of numbers and momentum, their side was definitely the winner.

Seeing that the two groups were at war with each other, the young man with a short hair who was the party suddenly waved his hand and said to his companions: "Okay, everyone, sit down, we are gentlemen, I am a fool!"

The short-haired young man suddenly picked up the plate on the table, turned around sharply, and smashed the plate on the bald man's head, breaking it into pieces.

The bald man touched his bleeding forehead in shock, his color suddenly changed! He took out a fruit knife from his waist and was about to step forward to fight, when a bright silver pistol was pressed against his head.

"Put the knife away." The short-haired young man sneered.

The bald man disagreed and sneered: "Do you think I'm a bastard? Our country's gun control is world-famous, and you want to scare me with a toy gun?"

Even though he said so, the bald man didn't dare to act rashly again. After all, he was afraid of nothing more than ten thousand.

"What's the surname of the governor of our Lianzhou Province?" the short-haired young man said with a wicked smile.

"The surname is Li, what's wrong?" The bald man frowned, his question was incomprehensible.

"My surname is also Li, and my name is Li Xiang." The young man with a round head showed off.

"You really don't want your life. You dare to offend our brother Li. Can you afford to offend Governor Li's grandson?" The younger brother behind Li Xiang agreed.

When they heard that the other party was the grandson of the governor, the bald man's group lost all their momentum. The bald man who bore the brunt quickly smiled flatteringly, nodded and bowed and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Li, I am disrespectful. I hope you will not remember the faults of others. Don't do it." Compete with me, a rough and rude fellow."

"Do you think it's useful to apologize now?!" Li Xiang said with a smile.

"I'll treat you to this meal." The bald man smiled awkwardly.

"You really look down on me, don't you!" After Li wanted to say something, he suddenly fired a shot at the ceiling. Fortunately, there was no bullet in the gun, but from the sound, there was no doubt that it was a real gun.

The nearby guests were frightened, and some timid women even screamed, "Don't call the police! If anyone dares to call the police, don't blame me for being rude!" Upon seeing this, Li Xiang quickly pretended to threaten.

Originally, the bald man's group was not very sure about the identity of the other party. After seeing that the other party used a real weapon and dared to shoot so recklessly, their faces turned pale with fear. The bald man secretly complained and thought about how unlucky he was today. He could only bite the bullet and continue: "Then what can Master Li do to let me go?"

"It's easy to talk. I'm a very reasonable person. As long as you answer my three questions, I will let you go and I will never break your promise." Li Xiang hit the bald man on the head with the tip of his gun and said kindly.

The bald man breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Tell me everything you know!"

"Brothers, take notes and write them down." Li Xiang greeted.

The bald man was stunned. The other party actually brought a notebook and pen with him, as if he wanted to take notes.

"First question, what is your name?" Li Xiangxiao asked.

The bald man didn't expect the first question to be so simple, so he told the truth without thinking: "Duan Yichen."

"Well, a good name. Second question, where do you live now?" Li Xiang continued to ask.

"Here, Master Li, what are you asking for?" Duan Yichen said in a panic.

"What? You won't say anything?" Li Xiang suddenly changed his expression, pointed the gun at Duan Yichen again, and threatened: "Do you believe that if I shoot you now, you won't even have to spend a day in jail?"

"I said it, I said it! I live in No. 13, 9th Floor, XX Community, XX Road." Duan Yichen said incoherently.

"This community is pretty good, my brother is quite rich." Li Xiang said in surprise.

Duan Yichen scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Master Li was joking."

"Okay, we'll leave after asking your third question. Don't worry, I never settle scores." Li Xiang said with a fake smile.

"You ask." Duan Yichen said with a smile.

"Where do your parents live?" Li Xiang asked.

When Duan Yichen heard this, he immediately turned pale with fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Li, if one person does something, one person is responsible for it, the crime is not as bad as his parents, and the trouble is not as bad as his wife and children!"

"Look, I'm scaring you. I'll just ask you a random question. As long as you answer me honestly, it's over for today. I, Li Xiang, am the most trustworthy person." Li Xiang persuaded.

How dare Duan Yichen believe this? Although he is not a filial son, it is impossible for him to betray his parents.

Seeing that Duan Yichen was reluctant to answer, Li Xiang opened the magazine in front of Duan Yichen, put a bullet in, and then shot Duan Yichen in the head with a flick of his hand, scaring Duan Yichen to his knees.

"Say no!" Li Xiang shouted angrily.

"I, I..." Duan Yichen was so frightened that he couldn't breathe.

There was another gunshot, and Duan Yichen was completely frightened and replied: "My parents live in Lane XX, XX Road, Suling."

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Li Xiang questioned.

"How dare I? I don't dare." Duan Yichen replied with a cry.

"Su Ling, what a coincidence, I have a brother who happens to live in Su Ling's place. I'm going to call him right now and ask him to check for me to see if there is anyone named Duan in that family. If you're not lying, this Forget it, if you lie to others, hey, I, Li Xiang, hate liars the most, so I won’t say more about the consequences." Li Xiang said with a bad smile.

Duan Yichen was stunned. He lied about the last question. His remaining filial piety forced him to lie. Unexpectedly, the other party used his trick and found an excuse to mess with him.

"Master Li, didn't you agree to let me go after answering three questions?" Duan Yichen said anxiously.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Li Xiang could almost conclude that the other party had lied. He smiled and said, "I'm going to see if you lied. Why are you panicking? As long as you didn't lie, I will give you five hundred thousand." As a reward for your honesty."

Duan Yichen hurriedly shook his head and said in a panic: "If you don't bother, Mr. Li will spend a lot of money, I'll get out of here."

The bald man and his gang of fair-weather brothers winked, and everyone quickly packed up and prepared to retreat.

"Stop, who told you to leave!" Li Xiang said angrily.

"Master Li, please stay on top of things so that we can meet each other easily in the future! Don't bully others too much." Duan Yichen jumped over the wall anxiously.

"I don't want half a million, it seems you are lying!?" Li Xiang said aggressively.

"One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. Since Mr. Li doesn't like me, then all come against me. My brothers can leave." Duan Yichen said impassionedly. He knew that today's disaster could not be avoided, so he simply acted A friend in need is a friend indeed, and he used this to incite this gang of fair-weather brothers to become his shield.

When these gangsters saw Duan Yichen being so loyal, their eyes turned red, and they shouted: "Brother Li! Take care!", and then they all ran away in despair.

Li Xiang was overjoyed when he saw this, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, you succeeded in pleasing me, you can just give me two hundred thousand, and forget about it for today."

"Two hundred thousand! Where did I get so much money!" Duan Yichen said in horror.

"What, too little? Isn't your life worth 200,000?" Li Xiang threatened.

"Master Li, how can I get so much money at once?" Duan Yichen said helplessly.

"This is not easy. I can borrow 80,000 yuan through Alipay, borrow another 100,000 yuan through WeChat, and pay the remaining 20,000 yuan myself. Isn't it just right?" Li Xiang said with an angry smile.

Duan Yichen was speechless. This was indeed a method, but how could he be willing to hand over the money for no reason?

"Forget it, let's see how scared you are, one hundred thousand, I'll let you go for one hundred thousand." Li Xiang suddenly changed his words, seemingly relenting.

Duan Yichen and Tianren fought for a long time, and finally gave in tiredly. Li Xiang did not break his promise and let him go. After blackmailing Duan Yichen, Li Xiang paid the store owner some hush money and evacuated the scene with his gang. When they came to a deserted street, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing!

Although Li Xiang's surname is Li, he has nothing to do with Governor Li. They are purely used to bluff people. They are a professional blackmail gang that specializes in blackmailing these gangsters who like to bully others. Their team has two cores: one is Li Xiang, whose ability is "imaginary creation". As long as the object whose structure he understands is imagined, he can create it through imagination, but it will randomly consume nearby matching raw materials; the other is Han Xiao , the ability is "mind reading", Han Xiao's main task is to prevent accidents. For example, if the other party wants to retaliate or call the police, he will say hello to Li Xiang in advance and let him pay less for extortion money.

The combination of the two was perfect, and the group of people had been blackmailing for more than half a year and never failed. In fact, Li Xiang was originally a top student who graduated from a prestigious school with pretty good grades. He thought he could find a good job with his status as a superpower, but he ended up running into obstacles everywhere. Although his ability looks very powerful, it is actually useless. Today's industry is very developed, and it is basically assembly line production. It is impossible for Li Xiang to use imaginary creation to improve production efficiency. However, Li Xiang's too precise sample model has It is difficult to create through imagination. If one of the talented students graduates and his ability is not put to great use, company executives will generally choose ordinary people because ordinary people feel more at ease.

After repeatedly hitting the wall, Li Xiang began to give up on himself and went to the bar to drink. By chance, he met Han Xiao, a junior high school classmate. Han Xiao was also expelled from school for stealing things in high school and became a social gangster. The two hit it off and started working together from then on. Extortion racket.

Today they made a lot of money again, and a group of people decided to find a club to share the loot and have fun on the way. Just when everyone came to a deserted trail laughing and joking, a man in sunglasses wearing a windbreaker stopped everyone in their tracks.

"Boy, a good dog doesn't stand in the way! If you dare to block Mr. Li's way, you don't want to live, do you?!" one of the boys shouted.

"Haha, you are very involved in the drama. Huh? Han Xiao, why are you trembling?" Li Xiang teased.

"Run!" Han Xiao shouted and ran away.

A dark purple ray swept over, and everyone except Li Xiang was hit by the purple ray and froze in place. The sudden turn of events filled Li Xiang's mind with questions. He patted Han Xiao, who was still turning around, and asked, "Who is this person? Is he a policeman?"

Han Xiao's body suddenly broke into two pieces, and then, the bodies of the other companions also broke into two pieces like Han Xiao! Li Xiang felt that all his strength had been drained from his body. When he came to his senses, he had collapsed on the ground. He could not tell whether what he was seeing was reality or a nightmare.

"Join the Hidden Alliance, or be like them." The man in sunglasses stated expressionlessly.
