âI understand.â Bao Sanli nodded. Today was the most important decision and turning point in his life.
Bao Sanli didnât know if his choice was right or wrong. At least, he still canât be sure for now. He hasnât even seen this behind-the-scenes boss!
Bao Sanli fought his way up from the bottom of society. He didnât expect that he would reach such a high position one day! Ever since Song Jiangâs underworldâs gang leader, Hu San, was sentenced, Song Jiangâs underworld hadnât matured much. It had always been scattered.
In fact, even now, Bao Sanli and Yu Xiangde couldnât really be considered an underworldâs gang. They were just groups of little gangsters. Since Song Jiang City had no other forces, the two of them stood out.
Now, Bao Sanli had decided to work for Hou Zhenhanâs boss. What was waiting for him would either be incredible success and prosperity, or an ugly death. But in this way, there was still at least half a chance of winning!
âBrother Hou, our boss⊠How do we address him?â Bao Sanli also had used the term âour bossâ at this moment.
â En ⊠you can address our boss as Mr. Y.â Hou Zhenhan shook his head and said, âOur boss is to be kept a secret. I wonât take you to meet our boss before he trusts you enough. So, if you want our boss to trust you and give you more responsibility, then you have to prove your ability and loyalty.â
âI understand.â Bao Sanli nodded. He knew that it was useless to say anything now. He should just prove his capability. However, Bao Sanli was also a.s.sessing his own boss at this moment!
Bao Sanli had only shown his respect on the surface. He still had some reservation in his heart! It was because he didnât know the true capability of his boss. Only after his boss had shown his true capability then Bao Sanli would be willing to surrender completely.
âHowever, even though my boss wants to control the underworld, he doesnât like to have too many fights going on!â Hou Zhenhan said, âThose acts of bullying, taking advantage of others or any unlawful things â you will be prohibited from doing that in the future!â
âBrother Hou, you can rest a.s.sured about this point! I can guarantee that ever since I have stepped foot into the underworld, I have never bullied the innocent citizens. My means are only against those evil people!â Bao Sanli said firmly, âWhen Iâm taking care of my own territory, I wonât take action unless someone was making trouble.â
âGood. Itâs great that you are able to do this.â Hou Zhenhan nodded.
The above was the whole process of Hou Zhenhan meeting Bao Sanli, and Hou Zhenhan relayed this to Yang Ming.
âI didnât see it before, but Big Hou, youâre really capable!â Yang Ming couldnât help but compliment him.
âBrother Yang, regarding the Four Snakes GangâŠâ Hou Zhenhan asked with some doubt. He didnât know what means Yang Ming had to make the Four Snakes Gang surrender.
âYou donât have to worry about this. You let Bao Sanli gather his forces together and wait for my news. I will handle the Four Snakes Gang on my end.â Yang Ming instructed.
âOkay, Brother Yang. Noted.â Hou Zhenhan nodded and said.
The Four Snakes Gang may be a problem for Bao Sanli, but for Yang Ming, it was a matter that was easier than settling Yu Xiangde.
Why did I say that? Because no matter how strong the Four Snakes Gang was, they were just a dragon across the river. Their roots were not in Song Jiang. The boss of the Four Snakes Gang, âBrother Snake,â only wanted to support Yu Xiangde as his puppet. However, Brother Snake was also very clear that when the dog is anxious it could jump off the wall [1], he was afraid of causing negative repercussions from Bao Sanli! If Bao Sanli had become so desperate that he got an underling to a.s.sa.s.sinate Brother Snake, then Brother Snake would be pretty apprehensive!
After all, the Brother Snake was also a man of a high status but was still vulnerable⊠He didnât want to lose his life by battling forcefully with Bao Sanli, this type of rough person. Therefore, Brother Snake had been very careful with his day to day living now. There were bodyguards around him 24 hours a day. There were also patrols under the place he stayed at that was armed with a strict alarm system.
What Yang Ming wanted now was to let Brother Snake retreat by his own means, and never think about getting involved in Song Jiangâs underworld ever again! Why did he want Brother Snake to retreat instead of killing him directly?
Yang Ming also had his own concerns! The reason why the Four Snakes Gang was called the Four Snakes Gang was that the gang was founded by four brothers. Although Brother Snake was the boss, there were three younger brothers under him! Even if one died in the fight, or one was seriously injured, his second brother hadnât suffered anything. He was still sitting healthy in the headquarters of the Four Snakes Gang!
Yang Ming had already investigated before. The relations.h.i.+p between these four brothers was very good. If Yang Ming kills Brother Snake, what will be awaiting him would be endless revenge from the Four Snakes Gang!
Therefore, Yang Ming decided to spare Brother Snake since the underworld of Donghai had nothing to do with himself. Brother Snake could do whatever he wanted as long as he was back to his area!
After ending the conversation with Hou Zhenhan, Yang Ming sighed. Truth to be told, Yang Ming didnât know whether what he was doing was right or wrong. He became Fang Tianâs disciple, the next in line for the King of the a.s.sa.s.sins and now he was thinking of controlling the underworld of Song Jiang!
This was such a bold idea! If it was the Yang Ming from before, he would definitely feel that this was unrealistic, but he had now really embarked down this path. What is it ultimately for?
Was it for me to be strong enough to protect the women around me? But now, besides Xiao Qing, there wasnât anyone elseâŠ
For my parents to have a better life? Yes. Yang Ming really thought that was his intention, but after last nightâs conversation with his parents, Yang Ming understood that his parents didnât like that luxurious lifestyle!
However, they no longer needed to worry about the pressure of life after they knew that their son was very capable. Instead, they could regard work as a kind of enjoyment instead of working for money!
It seemed that my parents were very easy to satisfy, but why canât I be satisfied with everything in front of me? Yang Ming shook his head, Maybe the desires of each individual are different.
It was too late even if he wanted to stop tonight! Yang Ming put on the jacket that he had just taken off. As he was about to go out, he hesitated, turned and opened the closet. At the bottom of the closet, he took out a small toolbox. These were some little tools that Fang Tian had given him.
Yang Ming opened the toolbox and took out a black tight-fitting suit from the inside. These suits were custom-made by Fang Tian according to Yang Mingâs body size that was divided into two sets, a winter set, and a summer set. The set of winter clothes that Yang Ming took out was slightly thicker. However, the ability of the attire to keep warm was definitely not as strong as the down jacket!
Yang Ming took off his jacket, put on the tight-fitting suit inside, and then put the jacket outside. After he was done, Yang Ming took a black scout cap and infrared night vision goggles from the toolbox and put it in the pocket of his jacket before he left the room.
Infrared night vision goggles were actually useless to Yang Ming. His eyes were much better than this tool! However, these goggles could be used to disguise himself.
âYou still have to go out?â Zhang Bing asked curiously as he saw Yang Ming walk out of the room fully attired.
â En , I am going out. Going home to get something.â Yang Ming simply found a reason.
âI am really amazed by you. At this late hour, go ahead and drive my car!â Zhang Bing said.
âEven if you didnât say that I was planning to do that too.â Yang Ming laughed and turned around to walk out of the suite. As he was about to step out of the suite, he suddenly turned and asked, âWhy didnât I see Tian Donghua? Where did this kid go?â
âWho knows? Maybe he had gone to pick up girls?â Zhang Bing said casually.
As he walked not far from the dormitory downstairs, Yang Ming said to himself, Zhang Bingâs broken mouth is really accurate! Yang Ming really saw Tian Donghua fondling a girl.
Hey? Yang Ming was stunned. The girl is actually w.a.n.g Xue! Zhou Jiajiaâs good friend, w.a.n.g Xue! F*ck, when did Tian Donghua get along with her?
Yang Ming wouldnât really care if they were any other people, but one of them was his roommate and also his friend; the other was the girl he didnât want to meet, Zhou Jiajiaâs best friend, w.a.n.g Xue!
If they got together, wouldnât it be troublesome after that?
Yang Ming had no choice but to stop and look at the situation.
âTian Donghua, let me consider what you saidâŠâ w.a.n.g Xue said in a soft voice as she lowered her head.
âThereâs nothing to consider. Both of us are adults. It is normal to fall in love!â Tian Donghua said shamelessly.
âWe canât do that. Itâs the first time I am having a boyfriend. I have to consider it carefullyâŠâ w.a.n.g Xue shook her head rationally even though she also felt that Tian Donghua had good criteria! She had a meal with Tian Donghua in the evening. Tian Donghua was very generous and had the courtesy of a gentleman, so w.a.n.g Xue was somewhat moved.
âFirst time?â Tian Donghua was overjoyed. A virgin, it was not easy to find one in this day and age! Even my ex-girlfriend was not a virgin! Haha, if I take you home this time, shouldnât my old man be happy?
Originally, Tian Donghua just thought that w.a.n.g Xue was a bit like his former girlfriend. He had a playful att.i.tude as he socialized with her, but as soon as he heard that this was her first time being in love, Itâs a first love! Tian Donghua got serious immediately. âAlright, if you really have to think about it, then I will take you back to your dorm!â
âOkayâŠâ w.a.n.g Xue nodded.
