Chapter 1198 Let me ask you one thing.
Old Li reminded him, "Sigh, stay calm, you must stay calm. Your godfather looks old."
But they've become even more ruthless; if you slip up, they'll see that you're up to no good.
I doubt you can understand tomorrow's sun.
As a friend, I don't want anything to happen to you.
David gradually calmed down, but there was a fierce glint in his eyes: "If I don't sue them, they'll mess with me."
I had no other choice.
Old Li agreed with David's statement: "Sigh, you're right, but... Godfather has a bunch of thugs under his command. Those people are ruthless, even more ferocious than wild beasts."
You can't beat him.
David looked at Old Li: "I am what I am today, and you... will end up like me in the future."
"With the two of us working together, I'm confident that with our combined intelligence, we can easily take down that old geezer."
David shook his head: "You know, I'm married, I have a wife and kids, and my godfather knows all that."
With them around, I didn't dare to resist in the slightest.
In my whole life, I've just been a pawn in other people's games. I do whatever they tell me to do.
I have lost all hope.
David nodded: "I understand. I'll do it myself. I'm a bachelor, so I'm going to take the plunge."
Old Li advised, "You should hold back for now, do whatever you need to do, and focus on the task he assigned you."
Make sure your godfather doesn't suspect you.
Then, find an opportunity to strike unexpectedly; the chances of success will be higher.
David nodded: "I understand, thank you for your idea."
Old Li raised his glass: "Don't say anything, come on, cheers!"
David raised his glass, clinked it against his, then tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp. He put the glass down and cursed, "Damn it, I don't believe I can't beat an old man who can't even handle a woman."
Just you wait, this time, I won.
I accept his nepotism, and I accept his woman.
From now on, I will be the master of the Bee Gate.
Old Li's expression changed slightly, and he tentatively asked, "So, you're saying you're prepared?"
David shook his head: "Where the hell am I supposed to prepare? I was thinking of finishing one last deal and living a carefree life for a few years."
I almost got ambushed by that old guy.
Old Li asked, somewhat puzzled, "If you're not prepared, what makes you think you can compete for the position of Bee Gate Master? Don't be too greedy."
It was already difficult enough to escape.
David shrugged: "The problem is I can't run away, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it."
Old Li was speechless: "I thought you were prepared."
David suddenly remembered something and said, "Actually, I wasn't completely unprepared."
Ever since I got my hands on Ah Xiang, I've been worried about my godfather finding out, so I started investigating Beegate in secret.
I've collected some information over the past few years.
While I wouldn't claim to know everything about Beehive, I do have a thorough understanding of its history and origins.
Old Li picked up the bottle, poured two glasses of wine, and drank one glass in one gulp.
He put down his wine glass, then suddenly looked up at the roof, as if frozen in time.
David looked up at the roof and, seeing nothing there, asked, "Old Liu, what are you looking at the roof for?"
Old Li sighed, stared at David for a long time, and said, "Can we be considered close friends?"
Don't answer yet. I don't actually have any other friends. The only person I can call a friend is you.
These are the things I dare not tell anyone else, and I can only tell them to you.
Okay, now you can speak.
David was speechless. He felt he couldn't bring himself to say no after Old Li said that. He smiled and said, "Of course he's my best friend."
Old Li nodded: "Then let me ask you something. I'm most curious about the origin of the Bee Gate. Tell me how it came about."
David picked up the glass of wine that Old Li had just poured, drank it all in one gulp, picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of beef, and put it in his mouth to chew.
While eating, he began to recount the origins of the Bee Gate: "The Bee Gate used to be a sect of swindlers, mainly female swindlers."
In ancient times, they mainly swindled passing merchants and high-ranking officials, then used this as leverage to extort money from them.
The earliest thing I know is from the Song Dynasty. There was a scholar named Liu Zhizhong who was a top scholar in the provincial examination. He came from a poor family and relied on his studies to get a career in government.
On the day the results were announced, someone would "catch the top scholar," meaning whoever achieved the best exam score, and take him home to marry their daughter.
It's like catching a rich husband.
Liu Zhizhong was captured by a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Revenue and forced to marry the official's daughter.
After getting married, he was almost like a son-in-law living with his wife's family, subservient and living a very repressed life.
The Bee Gate sent women to seduce him. The women they sent were charming, obedient, and capable. Unexpectedly, they were instantly ignited and Liu Zhizhong took them as his concubines.
A few months later, the woman placed a pillow under her clothes and lied to Liu Zhizhong, saying she was pregnant.
You need 300 gold to buy property and furnish your home.
Liu Zhizhong refused, and the people from the Bee Gate pretended to be her family members and threatened to cause trouble at the home of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue.
Terrified, Liu Zhizhong scraped together 300 gold coins, and then the Bee Gate members left Kyoto with the woman.
Old Li was shocked: "Holy crap, they're older than the first ancestor in my family tree. This sect... has been established for way too long."
Who built it?
Do you know how it was set up?
David said coldly, "Actually, it was originally a brothel. The owner was named Fan Hongzhi. He was originally a scholar, but he was reported for taking the imperial examination. People accused him of being unfilial, unkind, unfriendly to his neighbors, unjust to his friends, and improper as a Confucian scholar... In short, a whole host of charges were written against him."
I heard it was a full three thousand words.
In the end, he was stripped of his academic titles and completely lost the opportunity to take the imperial examinations.
He then opened a brothel and forced all the women in the family of the person who reported him into it, including old ladies and young girls.
Once, an official came to visit a brothel. Fearing that his political enemies would find out, he gave the brothel an extra two taels of silver and asked them to keep it a secret.
He saw a business opportunity and later used the information to extort another hundred taels of silver.
He felt this would be more profitable than running a brothel, so he founded Beegate.
Old Li listened intently until David fell silent, at which point he couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, what a talent! Ruthless in his actions, and once he identifies a target, he acts immediately without hesitation."
This kind of person can succeed at anything.
But why did Godfather replace all the female bees with male bees?
I've always thought that using women to make money off men is a foolproof method, so why the change?
David was in a bad mood, and when he heard Old Li ask again, he became impatient: "Why are you asking these questions? It's completely meaningless."
Old Li laughed and said, "Who says it's meaningless? Once you know why Godfather changed the female bee to a male bee, you'll know what his purpose is, and even how he'll treat us."
If you know, please tell me.
I'm making those videos every day now, and I'm almost completely out of touch with the outside world.
do not know anything.
In particular, they knew nothing about the Beegate incident.
I'd like to know a little something.
David thought about it and felt that what Lao Li said made sense. No matter how urgent his own affairs were, they couldn't be solved immediately, so he simply talked about the reason why his godfather, the female bee, had switched to a male bee.
He picked up a glass of wine, drank it all himself, and then picked up a few peanuts and chewed them slowly.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, he spoke again: "This is not a single reason, but a combination of factors."
Some women are love-struck; when they meet a rich and handsome man, they'd be willing to pay anything to marry him.
I don't want to work at all.
There are also some women who, after getting money, always say sarcastic and mean things, which annoys men.
One man tracked them directly to the hive's lair, poured gasoline on it, and set it on fire.
Half of the people in the Bee Gate were burned to death.
In conclusion, if you use a woman to seduce a man, the consequences of that man's retaliation will be extremely serious.
So he decided to use the money from the male bees to swindle women, so that even if the women were cheated, they could only suffer in silence and dare not make a sound.
Even if those women wanted revenge, their methods were limited.
In summary, the male bee is reliable and career-oriented, so even if he is exposed, the woman has no way to deal with him.
But if the female bee is exposed, the man's revenge will be terrifying.
Finally, the entire fleet was converted to male bees.
