Modern Version of The Deer and the Cauldron

"Mr. Zheng, do you believe that I will beat you up?" Chang Xiaobao looked very angry.

"I believe it." The young man surnamed Zheng said calmly, "But, Brother Xiaobao, do you still remember Master Li?"

"Are you talking about that charlatan Li Daoming?" Chang Xiaobao sneered.

The young man surnamed Zheng smiled slightly, "Brother Xiaobao, everyone in the capital knows that Master Li is a true half-immortal. Basically, everything he says is right. Just like when you slapped me twice, I wanted to slap you back, but Master Li told me that I didn't need to do anything. Brother Xiaobao, you will be punished. And it turned out to be true. Brother Xiaobao, you have been sitting in a wheelchair for more than two years, right?"

"Zheng Keliang, do you believe that I will slap you twice more?" Chang Xiaobao said angrily.

Zheng Keliang smiled faintly: "I believe it, but I also believe that if you slap me twice more, your spine will break again. It is said that you met a miracle doctor who cured your spine, but I don't know if you will be so lucky the next time your spine is broken. Of course, I also don't know if you will only break your spine next time. If you accidentally break your neck, then let alone a miracle doctor, even a god can't save you."

"Zheng Keliang, are you fucking threatening me?" Chang Xiaobao's eyes shot out two rays of angry light, "Two years ago, it was you, a bitch, who hired someone to secretly attack me and broke my spine, right?"

Zheng Keliang smiled faintly: "Brother Xiaobao, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense. How could I do such a thing? I have just told you that you are just suffering retribution. Master Li has always been very wise, and what he says is never wrong."

"Bah!" Chang Xiaobao spat, "You're the only one talking to me about retribution? If there really was retribution, you would have gone to the nineteenth level of hell long ago!"

"Brother Xiaobao, there are some things you have to believe!" Zheng Keliang shook his head. "Forget it, since you don't believe it, I'm too lazy to tell you. I won't bother you anymore, Brother Xiaobao."

Having said this, Zheng Keliang turned to the woman next to him and said, "Ake, let's go back first."

"Well, okay." The woman named A Ke responded very gently.

Zheng Keliang and A Ke left slowly. After a while, they got into a Lamborghini and drove away from the hospital.

"Fuck, what a pair of bastards!" Chang Xiaobao cursed angrily.

"Do you like the one named A Ke?" Xia Tian asked casually. Although he was not very clear about the situation, he could roughly figure out what was going on. Of course, this matter had nothing to do with him, but he was very bored now, so he asked.

"I used to like her very much, but she didn't like me. She only liked Zheng Keliang." Chang Xiaobao looked depressed. "But I almost got her, but at that time, I was suddenly attacked and my spine was broken. I always suspected that Zheng Keliang had someone do it, but I had no evidence at all, so I could only suffer in silence."

Chang Xiaobao, Zheng Keliang and A Ke, these three names, anyone who has read The Deer and the Cauldron will easily associate them with the three characters in the book. In fact, Chang Xiaobao also called himself Wei Xiaobao of the capital back then, claiming that he also wanted to find seven wives. However, before he found a wife, he met A Ke.

A Ke's full name is Lin Ruoke. She has a good family background. Both of her parents are high-ranking officials in Beijing. As for Chang Xiaobao, although Chang Xiaobao's grandfather Chang Donglin is a godfather-level figure in Beijing's underworld, Chang Xiaobao's parents have passed away long ago, and Chang Donglin has apparently retired from the underworld for many years. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Chang Xiaobao's family background is quite ordinary. Some people even think that this guy is just like the real Wei Xiaobao, just a small gangster.

At least that's what Lin Ruoke thought. In Lin Ruoke's eyes, Chang Xiaobao was not as good as Zheng Keliang. In terms of appearance, although Chang Xiaobao was not bad, he was not as handsome as Zheng Keliang. In terms of family background, Chang Xiaobao was even worse than Zheng Keliang, because Zheng Keliang's father was a famous wealthy man in Beijing with countless assets.

In short, the relationship between these three people can be called a modern version of The Deer and the Cauldron. Just like in The Deer and the Cauldron, Lin Ruoke likes Zheng Keliang and Chang Xiaobao likes Lin Ruoke. The difference is that Wei Xiaobao in The Deer and the Cauldron finally got A Ke, Zheng Keshuang became a tragic man, and Chang Xiaobao, the copycat Wei Xiaobao, was ultimately unable to defeat Zheng Keliang. Instead, it was Chang Xiaobao who suffered the tragedy and almost had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

"Damn it, A Ke always says that I'm a gangster and that Zheng Keliang has a clean family background. Damn, I don't know if she is pretending to be innocent or if she is really that innocent. What clean family background? Zheng Keliang's father Zheng Nanxin used to be a gangster. He has only cleaned himself up on the surface. In fact, that guy still did a lot of dirty things in secret!" Chang Xiaobao looked indignant.

Xia Tian interrupted at this time: "You said that kid just now, his father is Zheng Nanxin?"

"Yes, Brother Tian, ​​Zheng Nanxin is very rich and has a high status in Beijing. So, even if I suspected that Zheng Keliang had plotted against me, grandpa couldn't do anything without evidence." Chang Xiaobao seemed quite helpless. To be in the underworld in Beijing, one always has to be careful. Even though Chang Donglin is a big boss in the underworld, he doesn't dare to act casually in Beijing. Once things get out of hand, it will be very troublesome. He might dig a grave for himself while sending others to grave.

After a pause, Chang Xiaobao felt a little strange again, so he asked, "Brother Tian, ​​do you know Zheng Nanxin?"

"I don't know him." Xia Tian shook his head. "But I have heard of this name. I wonder if it is the Zheng Nanxin you mentioned."

After thinking for a while, Xia Tian asked again: "Is that guy named Zheng Nanxin very superstitious?"

"That's right. Zheng Nanxin has a Feng Shui master by his side. He is the Li Daoming that Zheng Keliang just mentioned. That guy is a charlatan, but he calls himself Li Banxian. Some people in the capital who believe in him call him Master Li. He claims to be proficient in not only Feng Shui but also numerology, and specializes in fortune-telling for some wealthy people and officials." Chang Xiaobao nodded and said, "It is said that Zheng Nanxin became rich after meeting Li Daoming, so he trusts Li Daoming very much. He believes whatever Li Daoming says. I even suspect that if Li Daoming said that Zheng Nanxin and Zheng Keliang were incompatible, Zheng Nanxin might kill Zheng Keliang, or at least drive him away."

"It seems that it is really that Zheng Nanxin." Xia Tian said to himself, then looked at Chang Xiaobao and asked, "Hey, Zheng Keliang stole your woman, do you want revenge?"
