Walking into my office in the Night Club, sitting behind my desk, I glanced at the document He Xin handed me in my hand.

There is also a photo on the document, a man with white hair but still in good spirits, a thin face, sharp eyes, and a very standard Russian face.

Sergei. Kulikov, the eldest of the Kulikov family, is nearly sixty years old and was once an illegitimate child of the Kulikov family. Seeing this, I was already surprised in my heart, the illegitimate son actually mixed into the position of the boss of the Kulikov family, you know, but all the illegitimate children in the big family have a bumpy fate, most of them were murdered when they were very young, but Sergei was mixed into the position of the boss of the Kulikov family, what did he go through! I read on.

Sergei was a very kind person when he was a child, and he was kind enough to save a bird if it fell on the road, and he lived a very ordinary life until his mother was killed by his father's wife in the family, and from that day on, Sergei slowly became another person, another person who didn't even know himself.

After Sergei's mother was brutally murdered, in order to survive, Sergei fled to another place, where he survived until he was a teenager, and he became a local boss belonging to the Kulikov family.

After blending in, Sergei climbed up step by step, during which he bled and wept, sweated, knelt and crawled...... Sergei spent twenty years climbing to the position of the management of the Kulikov family and became the boss of a region, and then he hibernated, secretly cultivating his own forces, and then scattered these forces, penetrating the interior of the bosses of other regions like branches, and at the same time, he used coercion and temptation to buy the henchmen next to the bosses of other regions, in order to obtain the position of the boss of the Kulikov family, Sergei finally launched the most famous "mutiny" of the Kulikov family when he was in his forties, And at the beginning of this mutiny, Sergei was almost bloodless, until the end of the mutiny, Sergei led people to his father, and then there was a bloody battle.

When Sergei pulled his father out of his chair and punched him, the Kulikovs officially "changed the dynasty". Originally, Sergei wanted to kill his father who did not protect him and his mother, but when he knew that his father was also manipulated back then, he forgave his father, and he realized that his father was just a doll back then, and his father had also looked for him, but later his father's wife bribed his father's henchmen and used a fake corpse to impersonate him Sergei, and his father gave up looking for him, and his father built two very good and luxurious tombs for Sergei and Sergei's mother to commemorate them.

After learning that his father was also involuntarily involuntary, Sergei did not change his name, and continued to use the name of the Kulikov family, in the next two decades, under his leadership, the Kulikov family expanded more and more, and the business became bigger and bigger, catching up with the traditional family of the United States, the Nelson family, and also swallowed another big family of the United States, in the rivers and lakes of the United States, Sergei is a legendary figure, a guy who will take him as his role model as long as he mixes in the rivers and lakes.

Just like recently in Luoshanji, many boys who mix in the rivers and lakes take me as an example. Looking at Sergey's past, I remembered my own past...... Many people who mix in the rivers and lakes think that as long as they work hard, they will definitely be able to get to the top, but the truth is far from this, and the people who can climb to the top are all from the sea of swords and fires, and they all stepped on the corpses of their brothers and opponents to get out of the pool of blood.

After reading Sergei's information, I seemed to have Sergei's face in my mind. Kulikov, he must be a very difficult guy to deal with!

Sergei was followed by several other regional chiefs of the Kulikov family, among whom there were five more influential people, and I took a look at their profiles. One of them is Andrei's father, who is also Sergei's cousin, and there are four people, three of whom are members of the Kulikov family, and only one guy is not from the Kulikov family, but he is Sergei's confidant for many years and has accompanied Sergei all the way.

After reading all the materials, I put them aside and tapped them with my fingers, thinking about how to arrange this trip to New York and how to talk to the management of these big families. He Xin seemed to see that I was thinking about the problem, and he said: "I have already informed the various bosses of the Tang League yesterday, let them go back and think about it last night, and I will have another meeting with them later, I will go and prepare first." "He Xin didn't want to disturb my thinking.

"Okay, let me know as soon as the meeting is over." I nodded slightly.

He Xin bowed his head and exited the office.

After sitting in my office chair for a while, and my mind about how to arrange this trip to New York began to take shape, I stood up and walked to the window, looking out the window at Don Ren Street, which was not yet fully awake, and it was only at night that it really came to life. Every time I look at Tong Yan Street quietly like this, I always think of many past events, think of the things when I first came to Tong Yan Street, and remember how I came step by step to develop Tong Yan Street into my own territory...... For me in the United States, this is my roots, so no matter what, I will definitely do my best to protect it!

The ringing of my phone interrupted my thoughts, I picked up my phone and looked at it, it was Lei Zhan, I picked it up and took it to my ear.

"I went to the Heavenly Demon Courtyard last night, and I have found out the news that someone from the Kulikov family has come to meet the director of the Heavenly Demon Academy, and it seems that they are indeed ready to cooperate." Lei Zhan told me this so that I could be more prepared.

"Okay, you keep watching, and let me know as soon as there is other news." My heart beat slightly faster, and although I had thought that the Heavenly Demon Academy and the Kulikov family would cooperate, I still felt nervous when I confirmed the news.

Ending the call, I made a call to Li Ziang, these days Li Ziang and Chu Cheng have managed our big wharf very well, not only every day to make money, but also they have cultivated a lot of new people, Li Ziang and Chu Cheng are all the way to follow me, so I know very well the criteria for employing people, the new people they have cultivated can bear hardships and stand hard work and are very righteous, with these new people, to a large extent, to alleviate the pressure of our lack of manpower.

I was about to go to New York to interview the Kulikov family, and Li Ziang was also a little frightened, and he asked, "Interview with the Kulikov family...... Are you ready to take the initiative? ”

"Now it's the only way we can fight our way out of the edge of the cliff." My hands clenched into fists.

Li Ziang on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, what do you want me to do?" ”

"I want to leave Chu Cheng to guard the big dock, you will leave for New York with me the day after tomorrow, I need your marksmanship." Li Ziang's marksmanship is the best among our brothers, although I improved my accuracy when I was in "Survival on the Island", but it is still a little worse than Li Ziang's 100 steps through Yang, Li Ziang will be able to play a very big role when the time comes.

"I'll go and arrange things with Chu Cheng." Li Ziang is very simple, although he has always regarded me as the opponent he wants to defeat, but in other aspects, he has already regarded me as a "big brother", and he will try to do what I ask him to do.

About half an hour after informing Li Ziang, He Xin came back, and Tang Meng was next door to the Night Club, so He Xin could rush back as soon as the meeting was over. Looking at the excited expression on He Xin's face, I guess it should be good news.

"Brother Yang, all the bosses of the Tang League have said that they want to live and die with us! They put you at ease to go to New York, and they'll help us keep it here. He Xin's eyes showed a glint of excitement.

"Good! That's great! It's not in vain my good intentions! "I remembered that the Tang League was founded soon after Ji Ya's heavy blow, at that time, I issued an order that anyone who was afraid of provoking the Sun family could directly withdraw from the Tang League, and at that time it was indeed a part of the withdrawal, but more people chose to stay, after that, I took the bosses who stayed to make money together, and those bosses have always been loyal to the Tang League, no matter how big the crisis is during the period...... Sure enough, only those who share hardships are true brothers and will continue to accompany them in times of crisis.

He Xin said with a smile with emotion: "The bosses of the Tang League said that these days, thanks to Brother Yang, they can get better and better, and they can live a life that can earn a lot of money without having to fight and kill; They said that you have to be grateful to be a man, and after making so much money with your brother Yang, it's time to repay it well! ”

Although what these bosses said was very good, I couldn't be clearer about the deception on the rivers and lakes, so I didn't lose my mind while being excited. I asked, "Have you scrutinized all of these bosses?" ”

"I've checked everything, it's all very clean, you can rest assured." He Xin smiled slightly.

As he was talking, He Xin's mobile phone rang, he glanced at his mobile phone and said, "Brother Yang, it was Edward's side calling." I nodded, and He Xin picked it up.

When He Xin answered the phone, I heard the voice on the other end of the phone, the voice should be Edward's subordinate, he told He Xin the time and place of Edward's meeting with me, this afternoon, in a high-end café in the center of Luoshanji, Edward invited me to have afternoon tea by the way.

He Xin put down his phone and said, "Brother Yang, I always feel that once Edward knows that you took your brothers to New York, he will definitely take action." These days, Edward has developed rapidly, he originally had a foundation in Luoshan Rock, after taking control of the powder business, he has almost expanded his power to a large circle these days, although now his subordinates no longer look down on our brothers as they did at the beginning, or to ridicule our brothers, but his subordinates are becoming more and more superior, has been saying that they are the power of a big family, and said that sooner or later they will unify Luoshan Rock, and they must standardize the rivers and lakes of Luoshan Rock...... As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and I think there must be a lot of people on Edward's side who want to replace you. ”

I can tell that He Xin's words are not alarmist, they are inferred from his own experience after he has been in the rivers and lakes for so long.

"I'll talk to him properly." I looked at the materials on the table about the Kulikov family, this time I went to New York, I was most relieved of Edward, this guy seems to have cooperated with me all the way, but he and I are not brothers in life and death, we will cooperate, it is entirely because of interests. Because of the interests, he will cooperate with me; Because of the profits, he will take the opportunity to steal my position, which is very reasonable.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, I, He Xin and Lei Ming went to the center of Luoshanji together. On the way over, He Xin informed Ai Zhihua and asked Ai Zhihua to take his six brothers to the vicinity of the high-end café, although at present, my strength in the city center is stronger than Edward, but Edward has been developing secretly these days, where his power has spread, we are not very clear, for the sake of safety, it is necessary to guard against some.

After arriving at the place, we did not get out of the car in a hurry, but waited for the six brothers of Ai Zhihua to come over and inform us after the deployment was completed, and then we got out of the car.

The street where the high-end café is located is an old street, and there are some relatively old buildings nearby, and the small shops look very stylish. When I walked to the door of the café, I saw two people standing in front of the café, wearing black suits and sunglasses, and at a glance I knew that they were Edward's subordinates.

Walking to the position at the door, I wanted to go in directly, but who knew that those two people had stopped the three of us, He Xin immediately became angry, glared at them and said, "What do you mean by this!" ”

"I'm sorry, our boss only saw Chen Yang alone, and the rest of us couldn't go in." One of them glanced at us.

"You ......" He Xin was angry and wanted to step forward, I stretched out my hand to stop He Xin, He Xin looked at me, I understand what he meant, he didn't want me to be pressed by Edward, now in Luoshanji, I know that Chen Yang is the real overlord, if I am pressed by Edward, this matter will have a great impact on my prestige, for me now, I need the accumulation of prestige.

I know all of this, and if I hadn't gone head-to-head with the Kulikovs, I might have done it directly to Edward's men. But not now, it's a special time, and I have to endure it.

When I looked at Edward's men, I even wondered if Edward had already known that the Kulikov family was going to trouble us, and that he was deliberately testing me, deliberately trying to suppress me, to see what my attitude was towards him, and whether he wanted to eat him? In this special period, more things are better than less things, Edward wants to press him first, I can't turn my face with him, so I chose to stop He Xin.

He Xin nodded, and I said, "You and Lei Ming are waiting outside, and then come in if there is a situation." ”

"Got it!" He Xin and Lei Ming stepped aside.

Walking into the café, there was no one in the café, no one on the first floor, it should be on the second floor. I went up to the second floor, and sure enough, Edward was waiting for me on the second floor, and on the entire second floor, Edward was alone, with two cups of coffee and a lot of delicate snacks on the table, and the coffee looked like it had just been served, and it was still steaming.

"Chen Yang, good afternoon!" Edward didn't stand up, but just smiled at me. If it had been before, he would never have been so "rude" when he saw me. It seems that I guessed correctly, it is very likely that Edward already knew about what the Kulikovs were going to do with me, and he was going to take the opportunity to test me to see how much I could tolerate him, and then decide what strategy to take against me.

"Good afternoon." I pretended not to care, walked over slowly, and sat down in front of him.

Edward didn't get to the point right away, but smiled and said, "The coffee here is very good, I often come here to enjoy it when I have time, you can try it." As he spoke, he made a gesture to me.

After taking a look at the coffee, I picked up the cup and took a sip, which was mellow in my mouth, and the taste was indeed very good. Just as I was about to put down the cup, Edward said apologetically, "My men must have stopped your people, right?" I have to say sorry to you about this, my men say that it has not been peaceful lately, and they are worried about my safety, so they are protecting me more and more. ”

This apology was a little insincere, but I didn't take it to heart, I smiled softly, and deliberately said tentatively: "I'm very happy for you to have such a subordinate, it's just ...... Even I'm blocked out like this, isn't that a little too much to say? After all, we're partners, and we teamed up to get rid of Andre and John, can't I even believe it? ”

Edward looked into my eyes, as if he wanted to see through my heart, he kept staring into my eyes and said: "I told them the same thing, but some of my subordinates heard some words outside, saying that you want to eat my power, and you are already acting in secret, they asked me to guard against you, saying that brothers will kill each other for profit in these years, not to mention that I and you are just partners." His eyes became sharper and more aggressive, as if he wanted to force me to tell the truth from my heart.

"It's sowing discord!" I was slightly angry and didn't look away, at this time, if I looked away, it would be easy for Edward to misunderstand. And being slightly angry, not overly excited, could prevent Edward from seeing what was really going on in my heart.

At this time, we are fighting, Edward and I are holding our breath, and whoever releases this breath first will be in danger.

"I thought so too, I also told them, if you want to eat me, then you can already act at the beginning, guess what they say, they said that you wanted to borrow my power at the beginning, so you didn't do it, and now that your strength has recovered and grown, you may do it to me at any time." Edward shook his head with a smile and took a sip of his coffee, as if he was jokingly talking to me about this, but in fact, he was questioning me.

I still calmly said, "You must be careful with the words of the villain, it is very likely that these are John. Nelson's scheme, if we fight, he will be the one who will benefit. ”

Edward nodded and said, "What you said is ...... However, Chen Yang, you seem to have been hiding a lot of things from me recently! I've heard a lot of things are going on in Baker's Town! ”

The bosses of the rivers and lakes, as long as their partners don't tell them something, they will be suspicious, and it's no wonder that Edward is so suspicious of me all of a sudden. I did deliberately not tell him about the meeting with the four bosses in Baker Town, the main reason was that I wanted to guard against him, but now, I have to tell it all, even though I know in my heart that he must already know, but in order to gain his trust, I must tell it all.

I told Edward what had happened in Baker's Town, and told Edward that I hadn't told him to come with me because I felt that he was already my partner, already a member of the League, and that there was no need to take him there again, because it was a dangerous place, and I didn't know what was going to happen, and I couldn't take him on an adventure.

Edward could tell that my words were perfunctory, but he didn't debunk it, but directly skipped the fact that I didn't take him there, and asked in surprise: "So, is the Kulikov family going to trouble you now?" What are you going to do? ”
