Chapter 272 Ghost Tower
"You're crazy! They might not dare, but we can't just ignore it. Call Li Hailun and have her talk to Lü Lilin. Having her mediate is better than us asking directly!"
Lin the Fat Man gave the woman a cold look and said to me.
"Um!"
I nodded, took out my phone, and called Li Hailun.
"Thirteen, how's the game going?"
After the call connected, Li Hailun chuckled.
"Helen, something's happened! We've been ambushed!" I glanced at the woman and explained the situation.
"Thirteen, your sisters Lilin and Fuli would never harm you!"
After I finished speaking, Li Hailun became anxious.
"Sister Helen, I know that Sister Lilin and Sister Fuli wouldn't harm us, but I still have to find out who put this chef up here!" I said.
"Thirteen, don't worry, I'll call your sister Lilin right now!" Li Hailun said.
"Okay, we're heading back now. We expect to reach the shore in about three hours!"
I replied with that, hung up the phone, and looked at Fatty Lin, asking, "What's next?"
"What should we do?"
Fatty Lin sneered and said, "Of course I'm calling Third Master. This time I'll make the call, and you and Ni'er will watch my performance!"
"good!"
Long Nier and I nodded.
"Third Master, Madman and I were ambushed by the Japanese!"
After the call connected, Fatty Lin deliberately panted heavily as he delivered the message.
"What happened?" Third Master asked hurriedly.
"To thank us, Da Li's woman, Lü Lilin, threw a yacht party!"
Fatty Lin started from the beginning.
"Is Thirteen alright?"
After Fatty Lin finished speaking, Third Master asked.
Fatty Lin gave me a wink, and I deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice, "Third Master, we're really in trouble this time. If it weren't for Ni'er, we don't even know if we'd be alive to get off the yacht!"
"We two don't care, we'll be fine after a while, but Connie'er is not having it. She said she'll go find the Liu family to settle scores as soon as she gets off the yacht, and she won't rest until she kills two of them!" Fatty Lin added.
"Give the phone to Nier!" Third Master said.
Fatty Lin glanced at Long Nier, blinked, and Long Nier leaned closer, saying coldly, "Third Master!"
"Ni'er, calm down. Thirteen and Fatty are both fine. Don't worry, I'll definitely get an explanation for you!" Third Master promised.
"Third Master, the Liu family has crossed my line! My brother is injured!"
"I said in a hoarse voice."
"I know, I know everything, I will definitely make the Liu family give you an explanation!" Third Master said again.
"My brother is injured!" Long Nier said coldly.
"Ni'er, be good!" Third Master said.
"Third Master, the prince is injured!" Long Nier said, enunciating each word clearly.
"I know, I know, Ni'er, calm down!" Third Master said helplessly.
Long Nier remained silent, her face cold.
"Ni'er, why aren't you saying anything?"
After about five seconds, Fatty Lin deliberately spoke.
Long Nier remained silent.
Fatty Lin said, "Third Master, have I brought the phone over?"
"Little Fatty, you and Thirteen must keep Ni'er calm, do you hear me?" Third Master was clearly anxious.
"Third Master, I'll do my best!" Fatty Lin said.
"Not just as much as possible, but definitely!" Third Master said.
"Okay, I definitely will!" Fatty Lin replied.
After hanging up, Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "See? When I told Third Master we'd been ambushed, he didn't ask about our safety. Instead, he seemed impatient, thinking we'd caused trouble. It wasn't until I said Ni'er was going to throw a tantrum and retaliate against the Liu family that Third Master got anxious!"
"These past two years have been crucial. Third Master is focused on climbing the ranks and doesn't want to offend anyone. You know, the Liu family also has a group of people behind them!" I said.
In the past three or four years, both the head office and the major branches have reached a point where adjustments are needed. In order to move up the value chain or even go further, various alliances and mergers have been formed.
Third Master didn't want to cause trouble at this time.
The reason the Liu family escaped unscathed from the incident involving that tomb last time was mainly due to one word—money.
In recent years, Liu Dazhi has been widely praised as a business godfather.
The reason is simple: he's willing to spend money.
All major capitalist factions, whenever they need money, can approach him and he will provide it.
While he was spending money, his daughter and niece were using Goldman Sachs' influence to win over the next generation.
Using this method, the Liu family wove a vast net.
Although the three of us were exiled to Hong Kong Island, we were still under the name of the Hua family.
If Long Nier retaliates against the Liu family, or even kills several members of the Liu family, Third Master will be unable to extricate himself from the matter, and may even be accused of giving the order.
That's why Third Master was anxious.
Third Master wasn't afraid of the Liu family; he was only worried that if he messed with the Liu family, it would alert some people in the Liu family's vast network and disrupt his plans.
Those people may not be able to touch Third Master or accomplish anything, but they could easily cause trouble, especially at this crucial moment.
Having analyzed all this, I looked at Fatty Lin and asked, "If Third Master asks us to compromise, what do you plan to do?"
"What should we do?"
Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "Perfect timing, it'll wash half of the flowery characters above our heads!"
"Fatty, did you plan all this before this phone call?" I asked.
"Absolutely!"
Fatty Lin snorted and said, "I'm the kind of person who plans ten steps ahead for every one step I take, how could I not have thought of these things?"
"You're getting cocky just because I called you fat!" I glanced down at the woman at my feet and asked, "What about her?"
"We can't handle most of the Liu family members, but if we can't handle the Liu family, can't we at least handle her?"
Fatty Lin's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at the woman. He said, "Girl, she must die, and she must die a horrible death!"
"Don't worry, Fatty, I guarantee she'll die a horrible death!" Long Nier said, squinting her eyes.
"Blood Guanyin, these little Japanese devils, they're all beasts!"
Looking at the woman, I was reminded of the Guanyin statue that Fatty Lin had mentioned, made from the blood and flesh of his compatriots.
"Not only the Blood Guanyin, the Japanese also built a ghost tower!" Fatty Lin said.
"Ghost Tower?" I looked at Fatty Lin suspiciously.
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "That tower is called Hachiko Ichiu. When this ghost tower was built, 238 of the 372 stones that formed its foundation came from here!"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"These stones are engraved with names from Mount Tai, Mount Lu, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, the Ming City Wall in Nanjing, Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, Yellow Crane Tower, the Great Wall..."
"Fatty, is this tower, like the Blood Guanyin, also meant to suppress the wronged souls and fortune of our country?" I interrupted.
"That's not all!"
Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "The back of this tower is engraved with the names of countries and places that the Japanese have invaded throughout history, used to show off their martial prowess and absorb good fortune!"
"Absorption?" My heart skipped a beat.
