Chapter 137 Wei Jixiang Returns
"Jixiangzi, what do you want to do this time? Is Hongtai like this still worthy of your loyalty?" Liu Yi asked slowly after listening to Wei Jixiang's narration.
Wei Jixiang lowered his head, his face terribly gloomy. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He had been loyal to Hong Tai, but now he felt extremely disappointed.
After a moment's silence, Wei Jixiang raised his head and looked at Liu Yi with a firm gaze: "Brother Hua, I have decided to withdraw from Hongtai! From now on, I am willing to follow you. You saved my wife's life before, and this time you reminded me in time, allowing me to avoid the prince's conspiracy. You saved the lives of our entire family. From today on, my life, Wei Jixiang, is yours."
Wei Jixiang's words were full of gratitude, and his voice trembled a little, as if he wanted to pour out all the emotions in his heart.
However, Liu Yi smiled slightly and shook his head gently: "Jixiangzi, stop joking. Don't you know that I'm no longer in the underworld? I have my own goals. I'm going to take the college entrance examination this year."
Wei Jixiang was surprised and confused when he heard Liu Yi's words. He had thought Liu Yi would gladly accept his surrender, but he did not expect to receive such an answer.
"Ah? I really don't know. I only know that you are now famous and everyone in Hong Kong knows you." Wei Jixiang scratched his head and said.
"You are not a good person, but you have a bottom line, and you are very good to your younger brothers. Such a person can't be a bad person. If you also want to quit the underworld, I can recommend you to go to Brother Seven. Huasheng will expand the valet parking business in the future, but this business also requires dealing with the underworld and even mutual hacking. This is not completely away from the underworld. If you still want to continue to mix in it, I can recommend you to go to Temple Street. Twelve Young Master is now in need of an experienced person like you to help him. What do you choose?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Jixiang with a hint of expectation and encouragement in his eyes.
Wei Jixiang was silent for a moment and then replied, "Let me think about it. But, Brother Hua, how do I quit Hongtai?" His voice was a little low, as if he was thinking about something.
Liu Yi nodded, indicating that he understood his concerns: "Okay, you take your time to think about it. As for Hongtai, I still have two plans. First, I will go to Uncle Mei, that old fox, to ask you to come over. Second, you tell me about the warehouse of Taizi Drugs, and I will arrange to send both them, father and son, in. Hongtai will lose its backbone, and Twelve Young Master will be able to take over Hongtai's territory smoothly." Liu Yi calmly gave Wei Jixiang the choice.
"Ah, you're asking me to choose again. Can I not choose? I don't know what to do." Wei Jixiang looked at Hua Di with a bitter face, feeling very conflicted. He had come to Hua Di because he didn't know how to make a decision, but he didn't expect Hua Di to always ask him to make a choice, which made him feel very troubled.
Hua Di looked at Wei Jixiang and felt a little helpless. He took a deep breath and then said slowly: "As for the specific choice, my advice is to follow your heart. Think about why you got involved in the underworld, what you wanted to do at that time, or what position you wanted to strive for. What do you think now? In fact, these two questions are the same. How you choose the first question is related to your choice of the second question. You may think that what I said now is a bit confusing, but I suggest you go back and discuss it with your wife. After all, you have a wife and children now. And let me remind you again, don't let anyone else know the evidence of the prince's drug trafficking, otherwise your whole family will die. Uncle Mei is not only an old fox, but also a cruel person."
Wei Jixiang felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Hua Di's words. He knew Hua Di was right. If he accidentally exposed evidence of Prince's drug trafficking, he and his family would be in grave danger. The thought of this filled him with a wave of dread. He regretted his hasty decision to investigate Prince's drug warehouse.
"Okay, Brother Hua, I'll go back and discuss this with my wife and get back to you." Wei Jixiang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He knew this decision was very important to them and needed careful consideration. Without further delay, he left.
On the way home, Wei Jixiang kept thinking about this problem. At the same time, he called his wife and asked her to come home as soon as possible because he had something important to discuss with her. When he got home, he found that his wife had been waiting for him at home for a long time.
As soon as Wei Jixiang entered the room, he couldn't wait to tell his wife Cindy everything that had happened today. Cindy listened to her husband's narration quietly, and her expression gradually became solemn.
"What do you think? What do you want to choose?" Cindy asked softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
When Wei Jixiang heard this, he suddenly felt annoyed. He rubbed his head vigorously and shouted, "Why do you want me to choose? I didn't know what to do, so I went to Huadi. Then Huadi asked me to make a choice, and now you are asking me to make a choice. I won't choose!"
Cindy looked at her husband's excitement, patted his shoulder gently, and said softly, "Don't worry, honey. This matter is really important. It concerns your future. Once you make a choice, your future may be changed. What if you regret it later? What if our life doesn't go as planned? As a man, you must take on the responsibility of your family."
Wei Jixiang hugged Cindy tightly and comforted her softly, "I know, I know it all in my heart. But Uncle Mei did me a favor. He brought me into this industry and gave me the opportunity to be a valet. If it weren't for him, I might still be an unknown gangster. So I'm really conflicted about how to treat him."
Cindy raised her head, looked at Wei Jixiang with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob, "But think about it, what kind of person is Uncle Mei? He is a cruel and ruthless old fox! He let you take the position not because he values you, but because he wants to use you to achieve his own goals. Others only need to hand over four levels of income to the society, but you have to pay six levels. Isn't this because he thinks you are easy to bully? And letting you become a licensee on the American side is nothing more than wanting you to take the blame for him. The investigation bureau on the American side has very strict surveillance. Maybe they have already targeted Uncle Mei. And letting you be a licensee at this time is not just to push you into the fire pit? And that prince, does he treat you as a brother in the society? He orders you around every time and treats you as a servant. What's more outrageous is that the prince knew that I was your wife, but he deliberately took advantage of me many times, and even almost blocked me in the house once." At this point, Cindy couldn't help crying.
After hearing what his wife said, Wei Jixiang was filled with a strong anger. He stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with anger, and began to search the room for his machete.
Seeing this, Cindy rushed over and hugged him tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She cried, "Calm down! You have to calm down!" Wei Jixiang roared angrily, "Calm down! Why didn't you tell me all this earlier? How dare he bully you? Why did you hide it from me?" Cindy tearfully explained, "How could I dare tell you? What's the point? Do you think you'd be so impulsive as you are now, going after the prince with a knife? He's surrounded by so many bodyguards, you can't get close to him. Whether you succeed or not, our entire family's lives are in danger. Uncle Mei will never let us go. Right now, you need to think calmly and make a wise decision. I think Huadi, while he may have his own plans, won't hurt you. After all, I've never heard of him harming his brothers. Besides, he's adamant about not using drugs, and his brothers are all doing well. I believe he's as loyal as you are." Cindy hugged Wei Jixiang tightly, trying to calm him down.
Wei Jixiang sat on the sofa, his face gloomy, his hands tightly gripping the armrests as if he were about to crush them. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "What if I ask Huadi to ask for me to be taken to Huasheng for security? This way I can protect myself and avoid conflicts with Uncle Mei and the others."
Cindy frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes. She whispered, "Don't ask me what will happen. Think about whether that old fox, Uncle Mei, will let you go. Everyone who has moved from Hongtai to other societies has had their entire family murdered. Even if Uncle Mei lets you go on the surface, can you guarantee he won't secretly kill you? Is he the kind of person who's broad-minded?"
Wei Jixiang remained silent. He knew that what Cindy said was right. Uncle Mei was a ruthless man. Once he found out that someone had betrayed him, he would definitely take extreme measures. But he was still unwilling to give in and continued to ask, "Then what should I choose? Huadi said that the choices of the two questions are connected. If I want to completely get rid of Uncle Mei and that pervert, the prince, I can only let Huadi send them to jail. And if I send them to jail, then I will have to continue to mix with the underworld with Twelve Young Master. Now that I have Dahong, I want to live a stable life. Going to Huasheng Security is also good."
Cindy sighed, walked over to Wei Jixiang, and gently patted his shoulder. She said, "This is indeed a difficult choice, but we have to face reality. If you choose to leave the underworld, you may face more danger; but if you choose to stay, it means you will continue to face those dark people and things. In any case, we need to think carefully about it."
Wei Jixiang nodded, understanding Cindy's point. He stood up and walked to the window, gazing out at the cityscape. His heart was filled with conflict and struggle. He didn't know how to choose between protecting himself and his family and remaining true to his conscience. In this world filled with darkness and violence, he felt utterly alone and helpless.
Hearing this, Cindy was silent for a moment and then said, "If that's the case, then I think it's not a bad idea for you to continue following Twelve Young Master in the underworld. After all, our family doesn't belong to an ordinary family, and you have indeed offended a lot of people in the past. I've heard the sisters on Temple Street say that Twelve Young Master is a very good person, and following him may not be a bad thing. Of course, if you feel unhappy following Twelve Young Master in the future, you can go to Wah Di for help again. He has already retired from the underworld, so he will not stop you from leaving. But no matter what, Uncle Mei and the Prince must not stay." Cindy made this decision firmly.
