“He’s more than crazy, he’s practically beyond that. His Li family is a very affluent and powerful family in the Northeast, and Li Laoshan is a fierce character among the fiercest characters. He has a very crazy character yet does things in a very low profile. If he recognizes someone he will treat them with sincerity, but if not, he will definitely hold them in contempt,” forcing out a smile, Long Zhengyu explained.
Tang Xiu understood in a flash and said with a smile, “I’ll call him to join us.”
Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu met Old Fatty Li in the Thai Massage hall. This time he was wearing an unlined long gown with big pants, flip-flop sandals and a big cigar in his mouth, resting one of his legs atop the other inside the resting area of the massage hall, looking carefree and content.
“Old Fatty Li!”
Tang Xiu called out to him as he approached.
Old Fatty Li waved and grinned immediately as he lazily stood.
“Yo, Long’s kiddo! Never thought you’d actually know my Brother Tang! I saw your old man when I dueled Chen Zhizhong in Star City back then. How’s Long Hanwen? Has he been good?” Fatty Li immediately said with a smile the moment he saw Long Zhengyu.
With a bit of respect on his face, Long Zhengyu faced Fatty Li and said, “Hi, Uncle Li. My father is good.”
Fatty Li stared blankly and hummed, “Why the hell did you address me like that, huh? Do you think I’m that old already? You gotta learn more from Tang Xiu! You… bah… don’t take it after your old man and take everything seriously, will you? You’re Tang Xiu’s buddy so you can call me Old Fatty Li later, got it!”
“This…” Long Zhengyu hesitated.
“Well, respect his wish! He’s a straightforward Northeasterner, and not a man who will stick to the formalities and trivia,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
Hearing it, Fatty Li immediately patted Tang Xiu’s shoulder and heartily laughed, “Did you hear that? Did you hear that? O, my mother and father who have given birth to me, let it be known to you that he’s my Brother Tang! Goddamnit! Sadly this place is Saipan, the Gods in our country don’t seem to appear here, or else I’d drag you—kiddo to burn yellow papers and sacrifice chicken and sheep, for us to kowtow and become sworn brothers.”
Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing.
Looking at Old Fatty Li and Tang Xiu, Long Zhengyu eventually spoke, “If so, then I’ll address you as such. But Old Fatty Li, you gotta help me if my father beat me up because of this later.”
“Relax! If your old man still dares to fix you up after you tell him that it was me who made you do it, I’ll go to Star City to beat him up. Hehe, anyways, if you see Chen Zhizhong training, tell him that I’ll beat him so much next time that he won’t be able to tell what hit him,” said Fatty Geezer Li with a smile.
A strange expression flashed on Long Zhengyu’s face as he replied, “Fatty Li, if you beat Chen Zhizhong so much, Tang Xiu would act and pack you up himself.”
“Zhengyu!” Tang Xiu growled.
With a confused look, Fatty Li asked, “What do you mean? Why would Brother Tang pack me up if I beat up Chen Zhizhong? He and Chen Zhizhong…”
Sighing inwardly, Tang Xiu knew that he had no more excuses to conceal it this time. With a wry smile, he said slowly, “Fatty Li, if you can beat up Chen Zhizhong, I’ll keep out of it, though he’s actually my disciple.”
“What did you say?”
Fatty Li was stupefied as his eyes stared at Tang Xiu without blinking as though he was seeing the most inconceivable thing in the world. He even began to wonder whether he was having hearing problems.
While pointing at Tang Xiu, Long Zhengyu said, “Fatty Li, you didn’t hear it wrong. Tang Xiu is really the big boss of Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical—Chen Zhizhong’s master.”
Staggering backward and looking at Tang Xiu with disbelief, Fatty Li asked, “Are you really Chen Zhizhong’s master? Are you both not kidding me?”
“Nope!” said Tang Xiu firmly.
Fatty Li’s lips shivered a few times, after which he quickly asked, “How could this be possible? Chen Zhizhong’s Kung fu has always been powerful since he was young; I’ve been competing with him since young and never defeated him even once. Tang Xiu, you were not even a grown man when Chen Zhizhong was still young, right?”
Tang Xiu let out a pale smile, “I didn’t teach the basic skills he possesses, but real kung fu cultivation! Hence, like I told you before, if you were to look for him now, I’m afraid you will be badly beaten by him.”
Fatty Li stayed silent for a while, trying to digest this stirring news. He then looked at Tang Xiu, raise his thumb up and sighed in praise, “Brother Tang, I’m getting more and more curious about you. You just casually strolled in the casino and got 1 billion, and you even know the big boss of this place. Especially with that kiddo—Wang Rui, your man even bullied him until he cried. Brother Tang, you gotta tell me, from which Daoist immortal lineage are you exactly?”
“I’m just me! How did immortals get into this? Anyways, let’s stop talking about boring things and go have a Thai massage,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
A strange light glinted from Fatty Li’s eyes. Tang Xiu being unwilling to say it, he was also not in the mood to insist. However, he had secretly decided inside that he would send some people to investigate Tang Xiu’s identity and background after he returned to the mainland.
