Xu Xiangqian thought for a long moment, then took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "My family used to be in business, but we were later targeted by the Sun Yee On. They kept coming to our house to extort money, and we couldn't afford to offend them, so we ran away here to hide."

When Li Xu heard the three words "Sun Yee On", he laughed, as he was familiar with them.

But there was one thing he didn't quite understand. "From the panic you guys showed earlier, it didn't seem like you were being simply blackmailed, did you?"

Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that the Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train is not something that ordinary gangsters can get on.

What's more, for the gangsters, if the person runs away, they can just go find another family to blackmail. Why would they keep pestering the person?

The four members of the Xu family left the station, still worried that they would be pursued. This seemed like they had offended someone severely.

A ruthless look flashed in Xu Xiangqian's eyes. "Even rabbits bite when they're cornered, let alone a living person like me. Before, when they pushed me to the limit, I sold all my property and went to the Big Circle Gang to hire a few assassins."

The contrast between his words was quite big, which made Li Xu unable to judge the truth of his words for a while. He suspected that he might be trying to show that he was not easy to mess with.

Just as he was pondering this, Li Ping interrupted, "Is it so chaotic over there?"

Xu Xiangqian didn't answer, but simply said, "You'll understand when you go and see it for yourself someday."

At this time, Li Xu figured it out. "May I ask what business Mr. Xu was in before?"

"Shoes. My family runs a shoe factory."

“It’s a pretty big deal, isn’t it?”

“Medium-sized.”

Li Xu rubbed his nose. "As far as I know, the underworld shouldn't touch someone like you, right?"

"You underestimate them too much. Except for the top bosses and those with strong connections, the rest of the businessmen dare not touch them."

Now Li Xu understood, it turns out you have no background.

However, he did not dare to believe Xu Xiangqian's words completely, and could only believe half of them.

Putting aside other things, just consider that after running the business to this point, don’t you have a few business friends?

Even if not, don’t they have relatives?

Li Xu knew that if Xu Xiangqian was determined to lie to him, no matter how many times he asked, he would not be able to get the correct answer.

So after thinking about it, he got straight to the point and said thoughtfully, "I can help you solve this problem, but as I said before, you have to do me a favor."

The four members of the Xu family looked extremely surprised.

From the conversation just now, they heard that Li Xu knew about the Sun Yee On, but even so, he still offered to help solve the problem.

This made people speculate about his background. Xu Xiangqian asked cautiously, "Does anyone in your family work in the government?"

Li Xu shook his head. "Don't worry about that. All you need to do is know that you won't be threatened by the Sun Yee On here."

His ambiguous answer only deepened Xu Xiangqian's thoughts. He said without hesitation, "Just do as you say. What do you want me to help you with?"

Hearing the word "you", Li Xu was secretly delighted and told his plan.

After hearing this, Xu Xiangqian patted his chest and made a decisive promise, "I'll take care of it. When are we leaving?"

It was obvious that he was indeed very anxious and wanted to get out of trouble as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow, you guys have a good rest here tonight."

Everyone chatted for a while until the waiter brought the food.

Li Xu and the other man said goodbye and walked out.

Arriving at the front desk, before either of them could speak, Pang Dong curiously whispered, "Are you waiting for these Hong Kong people?"

"That's fine if you understand it that way." After replying, Li Xu smacked his lips. "I didn't realize you were so bold in asking for five Hong Kong dollars for a room that costs one dollar and sixty cents a night."

"What do you know?" Pang Dong rolled his eyes at him. "Before, a Hong Konger tried to stay overnight at the Guest House, but after hearing the room rate, he thought it was too low and refused to stay. Since then, hotels in our province have added a rule: when dealing with Hong Kongers, they have to set a higher price. You have a good relationship with them, so don't let him slip."

After a moment of silence, Li Xu said, "You should be more ruthless and set the price at ten Hong Kong dollars."

"I think so too. I'll report this to my superiors later." Pang Dong suddenly became very excited. "That Xu guy is really generous. A ten-dollar tip is enough for half a month's salary for me. If you hadn't brought them here, I wouldn't be able to earn this much. I'll treat you to dinner tonight as a thank you."

"Okay." Li Xu agreed without hesitation. "You settle the bill, and we'll leave tomorrow."

At the beginning, Li Xu didn't know how long he would have to live here, so he just deposited a hundred yuan, and would pay whatever he spent, and he could add more if it was not enough.

No one has asked for payment until now, so it is obvious that there is still money left in the account.

Pang Dong nodded, flipped open the notebook in front of him, and asked as he looked at it, "Are you going to take them back to their hometown?"

"No, we're going to Shenzhen. They're going to open a factory there."

Pang Dong was a little confused. "They opened a factory here, why are you here?"

Li Xu grinned, "It's not convenient to say."

Hearing this, Pang Dong was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions. He counted out a few bills from the cabinet and handed them over. "Here are the remaining 7.3 yuan. I've already deducted it for tomorrow's breakfast."

Li Xu counted it, confirmed it was correct, put the money in his pocket, and then asked Pang Dong to continue teaching the local dialect.

When Li Chen returned to his room at night and learned that the matter was settled, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.
