I tried to pry open my right hand, but it was like a pair of pliers and I couldn't move it.

He let out a series of "Huh..." "Huh..." "Huh..." sounds. After about fifteen or sixteen seconds, Li Yichen estimated that this was almost the limit of human endurance and that he had been frightened enough, so he let go.

Without support, Li Chengfeng immediately collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, with tears in his eyes.

Don't think these are Li Chengfeng's tears of repentance. The real reason he shed tears is because he was choked and couldn't breathe. It's too difficult to make such a scoundrel repent and reform. So the purpose of Li Yichen's actions today is to make Li Chengfeng afraid of him, the kind of fear that reaches the bone. Only then will it be effective. Otherwise, when he returns to the army in a few days, not only will the house be robbed, but it will also cause all kinds of trouble for Grandpa.

After about ten minutes, Li Chengfeng slowly sat up, holding onto the ground. He no longer had that hypocritical look as if he couldn't live anymore. The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Yichen was filled with fear that reached deep into his soul.

Very good, this is the effect I want.

Grandpa Li went to the military district these days, and there was no one at home to support him. Seeing that he had nowhere to complain, Li Chengfeng could only hold on to the wall and stagger out of Li Yichen's house.

There is a saying in the north: Don’t move house in the first month of the lunar year.

That is to say, it is not suitable to move in the first month of the lunar year, and you should wait until after the first month to move. So Li Yichen and his grandfather agreed that the second grandfather and his family would return to their own home after the first month of the lunar year. This was the last step that Li Yichen could compromise, and he would not accept it even a day later.

He knew very well the habits of people like Li Chengfeng, and it would be difficult to change them without taking drastic measures.

After Li Chengfeng's two encounters with the loan shark, Li Yichen was deeply impressed by him. He was very disciplined in his conduct, and his subordinates were very sensible and would not bully others casually. This was completely different from the rumors spread outside.

As the saying goes, "Without rules, there is no order." Every industry actually has its own rules. Therefore, as long as a person can abide by the rules and do things in a proper manner, even someone like a gangster can be befriended.

So, Li Yichen decided to make friends with this strange man, treated him to a meal, and they actually became buddies.

The stranger was Li Xiang, a Kyoto native. It was a surprise that they were actually classmates in the same middle school. They were just different classmates. Li Yichen was almost 30, and Li Xiang was 23. He hadn't finished junior high school for long before he was forced to stop attending due to a movement. Ten years had passed, and his best years were gone. He had ended up in the loan sharking business.

While eating, Li Yichen talked about Li Chengfeng's situation. Li Xiang was a child from a single-parent family. His father died early and his mother raised him alone. Influenced by his mother, Li Xiang had a very strong character. He especially looked down on people like Li Chengfeng. In modern times, this phenomenon is called "NEETs."

Of course, Li Chengfeng is a "gnaw brother". Although the object of gnaw is different, the form is the same.

Li Yichen asked Li Xiang to have dinner with him, one to make friends and the other to solve Li Chengfeng's problem.

People like Li Xiang have plenty of ways to deal with Li Chengfeng. In modern terms, it is to use magic to defeat magic.
