Scarface and Mighty Bull returned to Liu Long's residence to report. Liu Long immediately asked, "Did you deliver the message?"
Scarface nodded, "The message was delivered, but that Li Nan is too arrogant and doesn't take Brother Long seriously at all. He even poured hot water on the message right in front of me and Mighty Bull. It was infuriating! If it weren't related to Brother Long's plans, I wouldn't let him off so easily!"
Liu Long laughed heartily, "Could you really kill him?"
Scarface looked embarrassed, "If Mighty Bull and I had acted together this morning, we might have been able to deal with him!"
At that moment, Mighty Bull, standing behind Scarface, chimed in, "That guy is so overbearing; he doesn't regard Brother Long at all. I see that Li Nan is only in his early twenties and has an ordinary build. What qualifications does he have to replace Brother Three? To me, he’s just a smooth-talking scoundrel!"
Liu Long waved his hand dismissively at the two of them, "Don't underestimate Li Nan. Although he's young, he's not someone to be taken lightly. Haven't you heard about his various deeds in the camp? Do you really think you could easily kill Li Nan?"
Scarface was at a loss for words, "That guy is truly despicable; not killing him wouldn't satisfy anyone!"
Liu Long smiled, "Li Nan's good days won't last long. Even if he's a fierce dragon, he'll have to behave himself on my turf!"
Scarface didn't understand Liu Long's intentions and asked, "Could it be that Brother Long already has a plan in mind?"
Liu Long smiled without answering and sent the two away. He then settled down with two beautiful women by his side, appearing quite satisfied and in a good mood.
The two women were flattering him, while Liu Long secretly chuckled to himself, "Li Nan, oh Li Nan, you're like a grasshopper after autumn; you won't be able to jump around for much longer!"
*****************************
Seven days passed quickly, and it was time for Liu Long's birthday. On this day, Li Nan woke up very early.
Before dawn broke, Li Nan had already put on a robe and was standing in the bathroom holding a dagger as he shaved his beard.
Mo Xiaohui had unknowingly stood behind Li Nan. When Li Nan noticed her presence, he smiled and said, "I need to look presentable today, so I'm tidying up!"
Mo Xiaohui smiled knowingly, "You can handle anything under the sun without any problem, but there are some small things you can't seem to do well—like shaving!"
Li Nan grinned, "I haven't paid attention to my appearance for a few days and ended up looking scruffy!" As he spoke, he suddenly winced as if the dagger had cut his face.
Mo Xiaohui hurried over and complained, "If you can't do it well, don't force yourself! What will you do if you cut yourself?"
As Mo Xiaohui approached, Li Nan smiled, and Mo Xiaohui noticed, unconsciously hitting Li Nan a few times. "You spend all day scaring me; can't you be serious for once?"
Just as Mo Xiaohui was complaining, Li Nan handed over the dagger he had in his hand. "There are some things I really can't do. Since that's the case, why not leave it to someone who can?"
Mo Xiaohui caught the dagger from Li Nan's hand and exclaimed, "Find a stool to sit on; I can't reach!"
With a smile, Li Nan immediately stepped out of the restroom and sat on a small chair, then said, "Come on!"
Mo Xiaohui chuckled lightly. "You really think you can handle me!"
With the dagger in hand, Mo Xiaohui first tested the blade's sharpness, then placed her other hand on Li Nan's face, lifting his chin to bring him into her view.
"What a rugged man! But in my hands, you're about to turn into a delicate boy!"
Hearing Mo Xiaohui's teasing, Li Nan was speechless. "How can you compare me, an actor with real skills, to a pretty boy? That's too disheartening!"
Mo Xiaohui thought to herself, "Lift your head and don't move!" Then, the cold blade of the dagger pressed against the space between Li Nan's chin and temples, moving delicately.
Li Nan closed his eyes, seemingly enjoying Mo Xiaohui shaving his beard. The coldness of the blade combined with the gentleness of her hands created a feeling of contrasting sensations that constantly reminded Li Nan of the dangers and warmth that truly exist in this world.
Before the apocalypse, Li Nan hadn't noticed how much his beard had grown. However, these past three or four months of survival had made him grow and mature significantly. The beard on his chin and temples had become quite thick and unusually coarse. He often joked about it: "My tough beard is my stubborn vitality; it's not so easy to bow down or submit."
Mo Xiaohui worked gently, slowly pushing the blade forward. The stubborn stubble took several passes before it could be completely shaved off.
Feeling Mo Xiaohui's slow movements, Li Nan laughed and said, "Don't be so gentle; I can handle it!"
Ignoring Li Nan, Mo Xiaohui continued her work. Although her speed was slow, the areas she had shaved were very clean.
The palm-sized area of stubble took over ten minutes for Mo Xiaohui to shave. After she finished, Li Nan deliberately twisted his waist to indicate that holding one position for too long was indeed a bit much!
As Mo Xiaohui put away the dagger, she remarked, "Alright, now you finally look like a charming boss!"
Taking a mirror from her, Li Nan examined his face. While he wasn't particularly handsome, he at least had an air of authority about him.
Li Nan smiled and said, "Not bad, with this skill, you could probably open a beauty salon in the future!"
After shaving off his beard, Li Nan washed his face and looked very spirited.
Meanwhile, Mo Xiaohui had gone to prepare breakfast.
Li Nan went upstairs, found a clean shirt to put on, and then grabbed the wool coat hanging on the wall, thinking to himself, "This outfit really gives Liu Long some face!"
More than half an hour later, Mo Xiaohui had finished making breakfast, and Lingdang'er was waiting in the lobby downstairs.
Wearing the wool coat, Li Nan picked up a silver Desert Eagle handgun from the bedside and tucked it into his lower back before striding down the stairs.
When Mo Xiaohui saw Li Nan coming down the stairs, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise and she couldn't look away. Meanwhile, Lingdang'er thought to herself, "Nan Ge looks so handsome in this outfit today!"
At that moment, Li Nan was dressed in a trench coat, standing tall with a confident demeanor, truly embodying the charm of a heartthrob!
Seeing the two women downstairs, Li Nan smiled and said, "What’s wrong? Are you dumbfounded? Women really don’t know how to be reserved at all!"
Mo Xiaohui turned around and laughed, "It's just so-so; still a bit lacking compared to Little Horse from Heroic Spirit!"
Li Nan chuckled bitterly and said, "Sigh, if my story were made into a movie, it would definitely be more exciting than Little Horse!"
Mo Xiaohui clicked her tongue and said, "But someone has to be willing to film it first!"
Li Nan waved his hand to indicate not to bring up this unproductive topic anymore. He then strode out without planning to have breakfast.
In fact, this wool coat that Li Nan was wearing was something Mo Xiaohui had found in his apartment back then. They had been through so much together that this piece of clothing remained. The reason Li Nan chose to wear it today was mainly to convey a deeper meaning to Mo Xiaohui: they had already overcome so many hardships, and this time would be no different.
Mo Xiaohui understood Li Nan's intention but said nothing; she quietly watched her man slowly walk out of Small Buildings. She knew what Li Nan was going to do today; the dangers were evident, but she could only silently remind him in her heart, "Please don't be reckless; leave some room for safety when doing things."
Li Nan raised his hand and said to the two women behind him, "You both stay safe; don’t go out today. I've arranged for my brothers outside; there won't be any problems!"
As he spoke, Li Nan pushed open the door. Outside Small Buildings stood four men on either side: Lin Hai with an AK-47 on his back, Fatty standing empty-handed, Bitter Melon with a distressed expression, and Long-Faced Man whose face resembled a cucumber. Seeing them, Li Nan smiled and said, "Brothers, sorry to keep you waiting!"
Outside the Small Buildings, there was a military armored vehicle parked, and Fatty said, "Brother Nan, it's time. Let's head over now!"
Li Nan walked out of the Small Buildings, carrying a bundle, and replied to Fatty, "Alright, today we will pay a visit to this den of dragons and tigers! Let's see what tricks and tactics they have!"
As he spoke, Li Nan led the way, followed by the other four, all heading towards the military armored vehicle.
In fact, the camp was small enough that driving wasn't necessary, but sometimes it was important to maintain an appropriate appearance. As the third Host in the camp, Li Nan certainly didn't want to lose face in front of Liu Long and Gao Hu.
After receiving a post from Liu Long, during these Seven Days, Li Nan had been deliberately amplifying his underestimation of them, as if he didn't take Liu Long and Gao Hu seriously at all. His subordinates were also making a big fuss over some trivial matters. His goal was to make the other two leaders in the camp look down on him, thinking he was just a reckless man who happened to be lucky.
Clearly, Li Nan's actions had already achieved some effect, and Liu Long believed he had everything under control.
A Hongmen Banquet was about to take place; Li Nan wanted to play the role of Han Gaozu Liu Bang. However, he did not intend for this Hongmen Banquet to end with him fleeing. He aimed to turn the tables and defeat his opponents with one move.
Li Nan had already arranged everything for the aftermath. Although his brothers had suffered quite a bit before, except for A Fei, they had mostly recovered.
At this moment when he needed people, Li Nan had made detailed plans and arrangements. This time, he could not afford to fail.
