Xu Taiping found himself in an awkward situation.

He liked girls the most, he liked beautiful and intelligent girls the most, if it was simply because they had one of their own characteristics, then Xu Taiping would not like them, and among the women beside him, Xia Jinxuan, Song Jia, Su Xiangzi, and even He, Zhao Xiaohua, all of them had brains and faces.

However, there was one downside to this, and that was that these girls were too intelligent. Thus, they would often be able to guess at a few things, such as the question that Su Nian Ci was asking.

If it was anyone else who wasn't as smart as Su Xiangzi, no one would ask such a question.

"Why do you say that?" Xu Taiping asked.

I think it's not me. Although I feel that I still have some attraction towards you, but it's not enough for you to stay in the Gold Spot City for so many days because of the fight with Thirteen and Ah Nan. In the morning, Li Hu died, but now that the entire city is in turmoil, and you've chosen to stay here at this time, I have no choice but to suspect your motives! "Huang Xiaolong said in a low voice. Holding a knife and fork, Su Xiangzi cut up the high-quality beef on his plate as he spoke.

"A girl that is too smart won't cause anyone any pain!" Xu Taiping rubbed his temples helplessly.

Su Nian's benevolent hand suddenly stopped. After that, Su Nian Ci slowly put down his knife and fork, then looked at Xu Taiping and said, "I heard some news from my colleague at noon today."

"What news?" Xu Taiping asked.

"The boss of Jiangyuan City has changed." Su Nian Ci said.

"And then?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Then the new boss of Jiangyuan City will be called Xu Taiping. I think he shouldn't have the same surname as you, right?" Su Nian Ci asked.

"It's me." Xu Taiping said.

"It really is you." Su Nian Ci said.

"You already knew about it. Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I want to have a good meal with you and drink some wine. If you are unhappy, we can talk after we have eaten our fill. After all, this is our first date, so we can't screw it up." Su Nian Ci said.

"Then do you mean to say that we have eaten our fill?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes." Su Nian Ci nodded her head, reaching out and grabbing Xu Taiping's hand, "Tai Ping, I don't want to make a ruckus with you, because I feel that other than making myself more unbearable, there's no other use in doing that. I am sincerely telling you now, don't take this road anymore."

"Give me a year." Xu Taiping stared at Su Xiangzi and said, "I have to make this a smooth transition."

"You just take yourself too seriously, you keep thinking that you can help everyone, come on, Taiping, you're not the savior, and not everyone needs your help. Really, I'm very afraid, I'm afraid that you will walk into the dark along this path, and end up lost like Xia Jiang." Su Nian Ci said emotionally.

"I have already seen how power can reach the heavens, so to me, I will not be blinded by these powers." Xu Taiping said.

"You won't, but can you guarantee that your subordinates won't? There are too many betrayals and battles on this path. I do not wish for you to live that kind of life. Su Nian Ci said.

If you really love me, if you really believe me, then give me a year's time. A year later, I promise that I will hand over all of this to a reliable person, Taiya Group, which is Xia Jing Xuan's property, and Xia Jiang is Xia Jinxuan's father. Although Jing Xuan doesn't say it, I know that her biggest dream right now is to let her father's industry return to its former glory. Xu Taiping said.

"Is it really only for a year?" Su Nian Ci asked.

"Only one year! Even shorter. " Xu Taiping said seriously.

"Then what do you want me to do if I have to personally arrest you within this year?" Su Nian Ci asked.

"Then I will offer my hands." Xu Taiping smiled as he patted Su Xiangzi's hand, "I'm not Xia Jiang, and I'm not a prince. I'm me, and when I do things, I have my own bottom line, so I won't give you the chance to catch me."

"I hope so." Su Nian Ci sighed. She picked up the wine cup on the table and said, "I have never been in a relationship before, and I have never been tricked by a man. I don't want you to be the first one."

"I've cheated a lot of girls and told a lot of lies, but I won't lie to you." Xu Taiping said as he picked up his wine cup.

"Take note." Su Xiangzi clinked his wine glass with Xu Taiping's, then drank his wine. Xu Taiping also drank his wine, then the two stood up and walked downstairs together.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past 11 PM.

In the Gold Dot City, at the Foot Bath Club.

Guo Jian's underling, Li Han, walked out from the clubhouse.

Three of his men followed behind him. Each of them had a girl in their arms as they teased her while walking towards the parking lot.

Not long after, they arrived at the parking lot.

The parking lot was very quiet. A few people walked to the side of a Land Rover. Just as Li Han reached out to open the car door, someone suddenly opened it from the inside.

With a bang, the door slammed into Li Han's face. His body staggered backward and he slammed the door into a car behind him.

The window of the car wasn't completely closed, and more than half of it was exposed. Just as Li Han's back collided with the car, a knife suddenly stabbed out from the window.

With a "pu ci" sound, the blade directly pierced into Li Han's back.

Li Han let out a blood-curdling screech as he hurriedly took a step forward. The knife was pulled out from his back, and blood gushed out from it.

Ka ka ka!

The sound of doors opening came from several places in the parking lot. A group of people holding machetes rushed out of several cars that had been parked here for who knows how long. These people directly rushed towards Li Han's group with machetes in their hands.

Li Han's entire body's strength was rapidly drained from the wound on his back. He was trying his best to pull out the gun at his waist, but at this moment, a person rushed out from his Land Rover. That person didn't make any opening and directly chopped at Li Han with a saber.

Li Han hurriedly dodged, but there were cars all around him. His dodging range was very small, and in just two seconds, he was already hit on his body. At this moment, Li Han's lackeys were also surrounded and crazily beheaded.

Li Han staggered two steps and plopped down on the ground, shouting, "Don't kill me, I'm Guo Jian's subordinate!"

"You're the one I'm going to kill, Li Han!" The saber-wielding man in front of Li Han harrumphed coldly, took his sabre and hacked it down towards Li Han's head!

The next morning, Su Xiangzi left early for class. However, judging from the delicious breakfast that she had prepared for Xu Taiping, she had truly accepted the time limit that Xu Taiping had given her.

Xu Taiping sat on the bed, drank a mouthful of milk, picked up the phone and called Zhao Xiaohua.

He needed a reason to stay in the Gold Dot City, and this Zhao Xiaohua was his reason.

Zhao Xiaohua quickly picked up the phone.

"I'm in the Gold Dot City and that Sun family member is also in the Gold Dot City. He invited me to dinner tonight. If you're willing, I can come over to introduce you." Xu Taiping said.

On the other end, Zhao Xiaohua was silent for a moment before he asked, "You …" Do you want me to accompany you? "

"Love me or not, damn you." Xu Taiping hung up immediately.

Not long after hanging up, Zhao Xiaohua took the initiative to call.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking too much. I'll immediately take a leave to go to the Gold City." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Don't tell your dad, otherwise he'll come and disturb me again." Xu Taiping said.

"Mm, I know, thank you." Zhao Xiaohua said.

Xu Taiping hung up, took another sip of his milk and turned on the TV.

There was a news report on the television.

"Last night, a murder case occurred in the parking lot outside the Fugui Life Footbath Club on Great Western Street. One person was hacked to death on the spot and three were seriously injured. The police have already intervened in the investigation. If there are any witnesses, please contact the police as soon as possible."

The television host said with a serious expression.

Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, then smiled knowingly and walked to the balcony.

Outside the balcony was a long river, the sunlight shining on their faces, giving them a very warm feeling.

Xu Taiping stretched, lit a cigarette for himself, and went back to his room.

Early in the morning, the winter sun was warm!

In the Gold Dot City, Dragon and Phoenix Tea House.

Today's teahouse was not open for business. There were several people standing downstairs with cold expressions on their faces.

On the second floor of the teahouse, a skinny middle-aged man sat at a table facing the street.

There were at least 20 people around him. All of them were vicious, many of them were even wearing black suits, looking like they were from the underworld.

In the teacup in front of the middle-aged man, the tea was already somewhat cold.

He looked out the window, his expression unsightly to the extreme.

At that moment, a few black Mercedes-Benz cars drove over from the distance and stopped in front of Dragon Phoenix Tea House.

The door of the Mercedes-Benz opened and groups of men in black suits got out and surrounded one of the cars.

Following which, the door of the car was opened from the outside.

Zhao Yingtan walked out of the carriage.

His hair was waxed, making him look like a gambler Zhou Run. His hands were in his pockets as he glanced at the middle-aged man on the second floor. Smiling, he led his men into the teahouse. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
