Luo An only truly understood how busy, hardworking, and exhausted his elder brother was after he got involved in the Dynasty Empire's business. Although he remained indifferent inside, he never compromised when it came to work. His decisive and domineering approach and high-efficiency work style were undoubtedly inherited from Luo Haonan.

The Li family's business spread across the world; they had factories in Southeast Asia, large-scale entertainment venues, subsidiaries in Britain, America, Australia, Switzerland, etc. Since Li Yi needed to travel frequently for his business, he gradually left more household matters to Luo An.

After working at the headquarters for a while, Luo An dealt only with businesses that were above board. He knew there was involvement in illegal activities within the family but his elder brother had never let him get involved.

This day, as he was going through documents in his office, he heard commotion outside. When he went out to see what it was about, he found two burly middle-aged men with a sinister aura standing at Li Yi's office door arguing loudly with the secretary.

Seeing Luo An come out, both men hurriedly bowed and greeted him respectfully: "Hello Young Master An."

Luo An didn't usually get involved in his family's illegal businesses but he did recognize these two people. They were the heads responsible for entertainment industries in Southeast Asia; one was called Hua Qiang, the other Da Feng.

"Hello uncles," Luo An greeted them politely with a nod. "Is there anything you need Since my brother isn't here, why don't you come to my office and talk"

Strictly speaking, his work didn't involve these two men, but he was curious about the family's illegal businesses and wanted to help his elder brother share some of the burden. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity when his brother wasn't around, he intended to learn more about the situation.

Huaqiang and Dafeng know that their direct superior should be Li Yi, but Li Yi has not been home these days. His phone is also unreachable. They heard that the second son of the Li family entered the company to take charge of its business operations. They feel it's fine to report what's happening now to Li An.

Two anxious middle-aged men went into Li An’s office and, full of righteous indignation, told him everything that happened with Jin Triangle.

The Li family had their own armed forces and weapons factories in the Golden Triangle many years ago. They made a fortune through arms smuggling. At one time, Li Haonan was a cold-blooded tycoon in Southeast Asia, firmly holding onto his top spot.

Later, after Li Haonan got married and had Gu Xiaobei as well as their child, he didn't want to go too far on the wrong path. Gradually, he stopped doing it. By Li Yi’s generation, almost no arms trading was done, and the armed forces were disbanded. Only some entertainment venues remained there.

The Li family has several castle-like entertainment venues in border areas of various countries where people can gamble and get all sorts of services from sexy Eastern and Western women as well as drugs to enhance pleasure. There are also non-stop, eye-catching performances.

Because these places have strategic locations and high security, they attract rich officials from around the world who spend lavishly there. These venues are the biggest and most luxurious money pits in Southeast Asia.

The price of drinking a glass of water there can buy you an abalone and shark fin banquet outside; touching a girl’s hand costs as much as dating a star elsewhere. Despite being so extravagant, these places still see a steady stream of visitors day and night.

Outside the door, parked cars are more luxurious than each other; inside, guests’ net worth is in competition with one another.

Such high-consumption places naturally bring in a steady flow of income for the Li family and their subordinates. It also draws envy and emulation from others.

Since Li An got married and had children, he gradually withdrew from the Golden Triangle scene. Just like waves pushing forward, as he left, others naturally took his place.

The one who took over is named Sang Kun; he's cunning, cold-hearted, fierce, and ruthless. Over the years, his influence has grown significantly to the point where he no longer seems to acknowledge Li Family’s authority. Near Li Family's entertainment complex, he also opened two large-scale complexes.

The people who come to these entertainment complexes are well-traveled, either wealthy or of high status. They fear exposing their identities, so they value Li Haonan's connections and influence; the name Dynasty Empire serves as a protective umbrella for them.

Sang Kun is the top dog in the Golden Triangle, but when it comes to fame, he can't compare with the Li Family at all. Thus, despite his massive investments in several entertainment complexes, they barely have any customers.

Seeing Li Family's complex bustling with visitors and thriving financially every day, Sang Kun grew envious and resentful. He dared not openly confront the Li Family, so he started ambushing people at various intersections, targeting guests heading to Li Family’s entertainment complex.

These guests may be influential in the outside world, but when faced with armed thugs threatening them, they become scared. This had a significant impact on Li Family's business.

Dafeng and Huaqiang led people to confront Sang Kun several times about this issue, but he denied everything, refusing to admit sending people to do such things. Frustrated, the two came to seek Li Yi’s advice, wanting to know how to curb Sang Kun's arrogance.

Li An listened to their account with narrowed eyes; his heart, which had been silent for days, suddenly felt a flutter of excitement.

He had heard countless times about the entertainment complexes around the city. He was always fascinated by them since childhood but never dared to go there due to his father's orders. Hearing these two talk today made him feel that an opportunity might present itself.

Lian wants to go to the Golden Triangle; if he succeeds, he can ease his brother's burden. If he fails... then he would be justified in getting out of this misery.

"How about this I'll go with you guys to the Golden Triangle."

When Lian stood up from behind his desk, his face, which had been stiff for several days, suddenly lit up.

"Young Master Lian, that's not possible!" Hu Qiang and Fengzi immediately stood up in alarm. They all knew that Li Haonan never allowed this younger son to get involved with anything illicit, and Lian had never been to the Golden Triangle before. If something went wrong, who would take responsibility

"What You guys don't think I can handle this problem" A frown appeared on Lian's face.

"Young Master, it's not that... Father forbids you from going there, and the eldest son wouldn't agree to let you go either. You're worth a fortune; what if we fail to provide adequate care for you..."

"I'm not disabled! Why do I need your care"

Lian's sharp gaze was like a beam of harsh light, hitting Hu Qiang and Fengge in the face. They felt an icy chill rise within them; they couldn't even bring themselves to speak their explanations out loud. Lian looked exactly like Li Haonan at this moment.

"I'll talk to Big Brother and Father right away. You guys should contact all of our armed forces now, then hand them over to me." Brightness filled Lian's dark eyes as his handsome face was chiseled with determination. His thin lips were pressed together tightly, adding an air of authority.s way, I can also breathe fresh air and change my previous lifestyle." Liyang was smart; after making mistakes, many people tried various ways to make amends, and he wanted to do the same in the most...
