Chapter 118 The New King of Temple Street

The next morning, perhaps because he was too exhausted from the night before, or perhaps because his body needed more time to recover from his injuries, Liu Yi did not get up early as usual. He only woke up slowly after the nurse in charge of changing his dressing came to wake him.

The ward Liu Yi was staying in was truly luxurious. To be precise, it couldn't even be described as a "room," but rather a "suite." Its size surpassed even the average home in Xiangjiang City, and it boasted a comprehensive suite of amenities. This was the Guo family's exclusive ward, so its specifications were naturally exceptional.

"Mr. Liu, you have a fantastic figure!" the nurse who was changing Liu Yi's bandages couldn't help but exclaim, unable to conceal her admiration for his figure. While removing the bandages, she unabashedly took the opportunity to gently caress Liu Yi's firm chest muscles.

"Wow!" The nurse suddenly cried out in surprise again. Before Liu Yi could ask what had happened, she couldn't wait to speak again: "Mr. Liu, your injuries have healed. There's not even a trace of a scar left on your skin!"

"Isn't this good? Doesn't this demonstrate the superb medical skills of your hospital?" Liu Yi seemed quite indifferent to this and responded casually.

"Mr. Liu, I personally treated and bandaged your wound last night! Your injury was really serious and looked horrifying. Normally, such a wound would never heal so quickly." The young nurse had a look of suspicion on her face and frowned as she spoke, as if she couldn't figure out the reason.

Liu Yi pondered secretly in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He smiled slightly and responded softly: "Maybe you were too tired last night and your vision is a little blurry? In fact, it's just a lot of bleeding. Anyway, I still have to sincerely thank you for your careful care." He knew very well that his extraordinary recovery ability would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble and trouble if others knew about it.

After hearing this, the nurse, though still skeptical, stopped asking further questions. She nodded gently and continued, "That's probably because I've been working too many night shifts lately and I'm tired. Mr. Liu, your wounds are now completely healed. When the doctor comes, we'll need to give you a comprehensive examination. Before that, please don't eat breakfast." After saying this, the nurse turned and left, leaving Liu Yi alone in bed, lost in thought.

It seems that the so-called "golden finger" does exist in this life, it just needs to be gradually discovered by oneself. Now he can acquire various skills from other "Hua Zai", and now he also has extraordinary self-healing abilities. This is already an extremely powerful golden finger! However, it is puzzling why there was no sign of the golden finger in his previous two rebirths?

But after he calmed down and pondered it, it dawned on him: Actually, it did exist! Take, for example, his ability to foresee things; it was more than enough. Back in his first life, relying on this prophetic insight, he had steadily and carefully amassed a vast fortune. In his second reincarnation, he thrived even more, skillfully leveraging his foresight to purchase sports lottery tickets, winning a staggering 100 million yuan with a mere 40 yuan! While he ultimately only received 80 million yuan, it was more than enough to support his meticulously planned and successful businesses. To be the world's richest man at such a young age, before even turning 30, wasn't that a truly miraculous gift?

Unfortunately, the golden finger I possess in this life is far too powerful. If it weren't so powerful, it wouldn't have worked! After all, my previous two reincarnations were both ordinary mortals, but this time is completely different! Not to mention the incredibly strange existence of the crippled foot, the Jade Maiden Hanbing and the Demon King alone are incomparable to ordinary humans. Therefore, possessing a golden finger in this life is perfectly natural; otherwise, it would be impossible to handle all sorts of complex situations!

In reality, the young nurse wasn't acting so nonchalant out of fatigue; she had genuinely sensed something was amiss. However, Liu Yi was completely unaware of this, unaware of the frequent occurrences of unusual circumstances within this hospital. Consequently, the nurse, accustomed to these unusual occurrences, chose to listen to the patient's words and not delve into the matter further.

After the doctor finished examining Liu Yi, he turned and walked out of the hospital. Liu Yi looked up at the sky and saw that the clock had already reached afternoon. He decided not to return home to study, so he hailed a taxi and headed straight for Temple Street.

Temple Street now appears quite deserted, a stark contrast to its bustling nighttime hustle and bustle. The small vendors selling various goods usually wait until nightfall to set up their stalls. As for illegal activities such as prostitution, gambling, and drugs, they are even less likely to operate openly. As a result, Temple Street during the day and at night seem like two completely different worlds.

Liu Yi casually walked into a noodle shop, quickly finished a bowl, and then stood up to look for Twelve Young Master. Reflecting on his past and present lives, he couldn't help but lament: I wonder when I'll be able to taste my favorite steamed noodles again! And, from now on, I'm afraid I'll never be able to taste the delicious steamed noodles my mother personally cooked... At this thought, an invisible force seemed to tug at Liu Yi's heartstrings, causing him to feel sad. His eyes instantly moistened, and a crystal-clear tear quietly slid down his cheek. Yet, Liu Yi knew in his heart that he had no regrets. Counting carefully, across past and present lives, plus the two previous ones, his mother had been with him for nearly two hundred years. This long and precious time shone like a brilliant star in the long river of his life.

As Liu Yi was lost in his complex thoughts, he unknowingly arrived at Twelve Young Master's door. He reached out and gently pressed the doorbell, but there was no movement from inside. Time passed, and no one answered the door. Liu Yi gradually lost his patience and decided to take a more direct approach—breaking down the door! Indeed, for him, who possessed extraordinary strength, the so-called knocking on the door was indistinguishable from pounding it down to outsiders.

Liu Yi clenched his fists and pounded hard against the door. Each impact was like a thunderbolt, shaking the entire door violently. Dust fell from the doorframe, and even the entire floor seemed to feel a slight tremor. It had to be admitted that this simple and crude method was indeed effective. Not long after, the tightly closed door finally slowly opened.

The door opened, revealing a handsome young man in only his underwear, clutching a sharp machete. Without a word, he slashed toward the door. However, to his surprise, the machete was easily grasped by the man standing at the door, and no matter how hard the young man tried, he couldn't reclaim it. Liu Yi, faced with this scene, let out a faint smile and quipped, "Twelve Young Master, is this your unique way of welcoming me?" There was a hint of amusement in his words.

At this moment, Twelve Young Master finally fixed his eyes on the man before him. He was shocked! Oh my god, how could this man look exactly like him?! However, upon closer inspection, he could still find some subtle differences, the first of which was the hairstyle and height. The other person was obviously much taller. Twelve Young Master asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" Liu Yi replied, "I'm Huadi." With that, Liu Yi gently released the machete in his hand and stepped into the house. But the Twelve Young Master was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Then he turned around and rushed into the room, still muttering: "Brother Hua, I'm so sorry! I really didn't expect that it would be you who would come to visit. I thought you should have come to see me last night. I... I... I, oh, by the way, I'll go change my clothes first. Please feel free to sit down." After he finished speaking, he began to rummage through the clothes in a hurry and drove a young girl out of the inner room.

After Twelve Young Master hurriedly finished cleaning up, he sat down in front of Hua Di and said with guilt, "Brother Hua, I'm really sorry to have embarrassed you." "It's okay, it's normal for young people to have a messy home." In fact, Twelve Young Master's place was indeed very messy, even worse than Hua Di's former residence.

"Brother Hua, what would you like to drink?" Just as the words left his mouth, the Twelve Young Master slapped himself hard, then explained apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Brother Hua! As soon as I saw you, I was so nervous and flustered. I don't have anything good here right now, just some beer."

"That's fine, a little beer isn't bad either." Liu Yi smiled, indicating he wasn't bothered. Then, the two of them each opened a can of beer and drank it down.

Liu Yi took a sip of beer and slowly asked, "Uncle Luo should have told you that I would come to see you, right?" Upon hearing this, the Twelve Young Master nodded and responded, "Yes, Godfather did tell me."

"In that case, don't you want to know why I asked you to come here?" Liu Yi looked at the Twelve Young Master with a smile, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"No need to ask more questions. Godfather has already told me to follow your arrangements. Brother Hua, if you have any needs, just tell me. Even if it costs me my life, I will not say a word!" The Twelve Young Master showed his loyalty without hesitation.

Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He asked with interest, "Oh? Are you really that obedient to Uncle Luo?"

The Twelve Young Master replied solemnly, "Needless to say? If it weren't for Godfather's help back then, I wouldn't be where I am today! So, Godfather has arranged for me to obey you, so naturally, Brother Hua, I will obey your orders and go through fire and water for you!"

Liu Yi felt that Twelve Young Master's words were sincere, and his words revealed a deep respect for Lei Luo. He thought to himself that this Twelve Young Master was a man who knew how to repay a favor. After a moment's silence, Liu Yi asked again, "So, how long has it been since you last saw Uncle Luo?"

"Brother Hua, I've made a fool of myself this time! To be honest, I've never even seen my godfather in person. I've only heard his kind voice over the phone." At this point, Twelve Young Master couldn't help but choke up, his eyes instantly moist and red. It was true. Lei Luo hadn't been heard from since he left Hong Kong in 1973, never setting foot on this land again. And Twelve Young Master had never set foot outside of Hong Kong. So, naturally, this father and son never got to meet! If you think about it, Twelve Young Master is only eighteen years old now. At this age, he's already established himself in a chaotic area like Temple Street. It's truly heartbreaking!

Seeing this, Liu Yi quickly reached out and gently patted Twelve Young Master's shoulders a few times to comfort him, and said softly, "I'll take you to see Uncle Luo during the Chinese New Year."

Hearing this, the Twelve Young Master was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in response: "Okay, okay, then I have to think carefully about what kind of generous gift I should prepare. But..." The Twelve Young Master seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped talking.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Liu Yi asked suspiciously upon seeing this.

"Brother Hua, I'm afraid I can't go to Canada. I really can't deal with that damn passport!" The Twelve Young Master muttered with a look of grievance.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take care of everything." Liu Yi waved his hand and comforted him.

"Thank you so much, Brother Hua. Actually, I have been looking forward to visiting my godfather for a long time! But those damn bastards just refused to approve my passport application no matter how much I talked!" The Twelve Young Master became more and more indignant as he spoke, and he stomped his feet in anger.

"Okay, let's get back to business! The first reason I came here today was to meet you, Uncle Luo's godson. It's true that seeing is believing! That sharp sword strike just now truly demonstrated your extraordinary skills." Having said this, the Twelve Young Master hurriedly clasped his fists and apologized, "I'm truly sorry, Brother Hua! I didn't realize you were visiting, I just thought someone was deliberately causing trouble. Besides, how could I dare to show off my humble skills in front of you? You are the true master!"

"Never mind, never mind. There's no need to dwell on the past. The second point is a bit difficult for you. After discussions between Uncle Luo and me, we've determined that Hong Kong's underworld is in such disarray that it urgently needs to be rectified through the establishment of rules. And the first salvo will be delivered by your Temple Street. From this moment on, you have one month to thoroughly clean up Temple Street. After that, there will be absolutely no more pornography, gambling, drugs, or other such ugly practices. If you can accomplish this mission, you will be the undisputed King of Temple Street!"

"Ah! This... this is really too difficult. I'm afraid I can't do it, Brother Hua! Don't look at me as if I'm somewhat powerful now, and can easily summon thousands of brothers, but in the eyes of those huge societies, I'm simply insignificant! The reason why they are so tolerant of me is that they think I don't have a direct competitive relationship with them." Twelve Young Master spoke in fear, the bold words he just said, claiming that he was willing to sacrifice even his life, still echoing in his ears. However, at this moment, when Brother Hua asked him to take action, he felt timid.

"What's so scary about that? If any gang dares to show up, we'll beat them back. You're not bad, after all. Although you're still young, you have a unique perspective and a clear sense of self-determination. Relax, we won't assign you an impossible mission. What you need to do now is thoroughly investigate the current situation of other gangs in Temple Street, including their membership numbers, financial strength, backers, and means of survival. If you can find evidence of their crimes, that would be even better. As for follow-up matters, you don't need to worry about it. After these hostile forces are completely eliminated, you and your brothers will all be transferred to the security forces of the Huasheng Group." Liu Yi said lightly, as if those gangs would be easily defeated. But for Huadi right now, it's really quite simple: just find the evidence and tell He Shangsheng. Our Officer He is in dire need of an opportunity to make a name for himself.

"Okay, Brother Hua, I think it's a pretty good idea for my brothers to become Huasheng security guards!" You know, Huasheng Security Company is a golden profession that even the upper class of Hong Kong would be desperate to get into! Not only are the salaries staggeringly generous, but the work they do is pretty much the same as when they were little thugs—it's just guarding the grounds, but the status is vastly different! Those usually arrogant gang bosses wouldn't dare mess with them when they heard they were Huasheng security guards.

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll leave first. By the way, don't you have any questions for me?" Liu Yi asked. Twelve Young Master looked troubled. After much hesitation, he finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother Hua, honestly, I've always wondered why I look so much like you. Is there some kind of special connection between us?"

"What is certain at the moment is that we should have no direct relationship. Even if we take a DNA test, it is impossible to find any connection. However, there are some people in this world who are similar to us, and I will introduce them to you. And your beloved godfather Lei Luo is also very similar to us. Well, you don't need to think too much about these things for now, just do the things I arrange for you. In two days, I will send a ruthless person to help you. He will give you a surprise." After saying that, Liu Yi left, leaving the Twelve Young Master alone, thinking about something with both excitement and worry.
