  Gangzi’s and Xiaoyu’s tenacity were beyond his expectation. They were loyal and grateful and could be further trained.

  Yuanyang never thought about what he would eventually lose, after he chose betrayal, because he could not bear the pressure of death.

  Years later, when Gangzi and Xiaoyu gained success and rose to fame, their kung fu skills having reached the level of saints, and they were admired by the masses, he was still struggling at the bottom of society. After witnessing this gap, he finally understood that he had missed the biggest opportunity of his lifetime. He felt quite remorseful, but what was done could not be undone. It was too late for regrets.

  Currently, Gangzi and Xiaoyu had not realized that their loyalty and gratitude had given them their biggest opportunity, to change their fates.

  “Go to hell!”


  Being a Hall Chief meant Yang Kaishan was unwilling to wait for the coming of death. Ding Ning was working to stop Gangzi’s bleeding, and had his back to him. This was the best opportunity for him to escape.

  Secretly taking out two less than a-foot-long hatchets from his waist, he threw them at Yuanyang and Gangzi respectively. Without looking back, he made a crazy dash for the door.

  He did not expect to hurt anyone, but he hoped to stop Ding Ning for a while. Once he left the basement, he would be protected by hundreds of his subordinates. Then, he would be safe.

  As expected, Ding Ning moved like a ghost, catching the two hatchets easily, but he did not pursue him.

  In fact, Ding Ning had never thought about killing Yang Kaishan. Advisor Ma had been accidentally killed by the gate, but he could not tear himself away from it.

  Only if Yang Kaishan was still alive, could the death of Advisor Ma be dealt with quietly. After all, these gangsters who had taken many lives, were more experienced than Ding Ning, in handling corpses.

  Ding Ning was sure Yang Kaishan would not call the police because he had committed so many crimes already, namely kidnapping, illegal imprisonment, and abuse of lynching. Calling the police would not do him any good.

  The underworld had its rules. As long as it was a thing that happened in it, no one was willing to call the police, because it would only bring him trouble.

  Therefore, after helping Gangzi and the other two guys to lie down, Ding Ning simply dealt with their injuries. Then, he carried one on his back, supported the two of them, with each hand, and slowly left the basement.

  Once he left the basement, Yang Kaishan found that Ding Ning was not pursuing him. He felt happy at the thought of narrowly escaping death, and even the air seemed fresher.

  The pressure Ding Ning brought with him was really terrifying, and the tragic death of Advisor Ma had even scared him shitless.

  Feeling extremely scared, he made all efforts to run fast as he could, to the great hall, where there were hundreds of his subordinates. He would be safe when he joined them.

  Unfortunately, just as he came near the lobby, he heard the ear-deafening roars of fighting. “Shit, that Guo Jianglong did not come alone.”


  Yang Kaishan seemed to have fallen into an ice valley, and lost all his souls. He did not dare to go near the lobby, so he turned and ran away. He remembered there was a dog hole at the back yard of the club, and that would be his only hope of escape.

  But he did not notice that a tiny hummingbird had been following him around, with a pinhole camera, recording his wretched situation of giving up on all his sworn brothers, ready to escape through the dog hole.

  Carrying Gangzi and the other two guys, Ding Ning did not go to Ling Yun. He also chose to go by the backyard, but he did not choose the dog hole. Instead, he jumped calmly and flew over the wall, which was over two meters in height.

  Avoiding the surveillance cameras all the way, he finally took the three guys to Daxia and his men, who were waiting anxiously.

  Gangzi and the other two guys had been quite shocked by Ding Ning’s actions, when he jumped over the wall, while carrying them. Then, they realized that the inconspicuous gigolo whom they had looked down upon previously, was a real master with a low profile.

  The truth was that the three of them weighed nearly 200 kg, but Ding Ning carried them like they weighed nothing at all. Then using only a run-up, he jumped easily over a wall that was over two meters tall. He was absolutely a master.

  “Brother Gang, Brother Yu, Brother Yuanyang, are you okay?”


  Daxia and others rushed to them, received them, and asked after them.

  “I am okay, thanks to all of you.”


  Looking at the caring eyes of their sworn brothers, Gangzi and Xiaoyu felt their hearts grow warmer.

  Yuanyang’s head drooped, and he kept quiet, his heart filled with remorse and guilt.

  He knew, from today, even if Gangzi and Xiaoyu did not scold him, they would not treat him as a close friend anymore, unlike before.

  “Thank you, Brother Ning!”


  Gangzi and Xiaoyu looked at Ding Ning carefully, and thanked him.

  They knew that Ding Ning was a medical student, but they did not expect his medical skills to be so magical.

  The injuries wrought by the electric drill were severe, but after Ding Ning’s simple treatment, their injuries had been contained, and they would be fine after a period of recuperation.

  Ding Ning grinned, his eyes filled with warmth. “That’s alright. We are all brothers, no need to thank me. Go to the hospital right away.”


  As he spoke, he handed a bank card to Daxia. “There is 200,000 yuan in the card, withdraw money from it, and its password is 666666.”


  “Brother Ning, you saved us, how can we use your money? We have money,” Gangzi spoke up and refused, right away.

  “Right, we have some money saved, by guarding territories over the years. Master Yun has never taken money from us, and we still have some savings on hand. We cannot accept your money.”


  Xiaoyu spoke hurriedly, and even Yuanyang picked up his courage to refuse him.

  “No b*llshit, take it. This is what Master Yun is giving you. You are her brothers and have suffered so much for her. How can she allow you to pay the bill? Take it.”


  Ding Ning gave them no time to explain, and put the card into Daxia’s hand. “To the hospital right away. Don’t hesitate!”


  “This……”


  Embarrassed, Daxia turned to Gangzi, not sure if he should accept the money.

  Seeing how determined Ding Ning was, Gangzi nodded helplessly, and Daxia accepted it in an embarrassed manner.

  Xiaoyu did not see Ling Yun and asked instantly, “Brother Ning, where is Master Yun?”


  “Don’t worry about that! Go to the hospital right now. Master Yun is fighting with the Axe Gang. Now, I am going to help her.”


  Ding Ning waved his hand impatiently, then strode toward the Blessing Gathering Club.

  “Don’t act like a boss! You are nothing, but a gigolo with a lot of money! Do you really regard yourself as someone important?”


  A nameless member was uncomfortable with Ding Ning’s attitude toward Xiaoyu, and spoke sarcastically.

  “You just shut your f*cking mouth!”


  Hearing what the man said, Gangzi and his two friends turned their faces toward the darkness, shouting angrily and simultaneously.

  That nameless member was stunned and retorted, “Brother Gang, you guys also looked down upon him in the past, right?”


  Gangzi’s lips twitched, he looked at Xiaoyu, smiled bitterly and with a cold face, shouted, “You know nothing. It is only because Ding Ning kept such a low profile, so we all misjudged him. Later, we should respect Brother Ning as much as we respect Master Yun.”


  That member was still not convinced, wishing to argue further about it, but he had to shut his mouth instantly, when he saw Gangzi’s serious face. However, he muttered inwardly, “What did the gigolo do exactly, to make Gangzi and his friends change their attitudes so drastically?”


  In the Blessing Gathering Club’s lobby, the battle was now in full swing. The eight guys, including Xiaoniu, were leaning against one another, panting heavily, with bloodstains all over themselves, but they still stood upright.

  Numerous Axe Gang members were scattered all over the floor, crying and screaming.

  With axes in hand, hundreds of the Axe Gang members surrounded the eight guys, including Xiaoniu, but their eyes showed fear. They only had the courage to surround them from a distance, and did not dare to go near them.

  They had never thought the eight guys could be so terrifying when it came to fighting. In less than ten minutes, they had felled more than 200 people. They were like the gods of war, and made them extremely afraid.

  “F*ck, it feels bad, we can’t kill. When we fight, we seem to be fighting with fetters. It’s not satisfying at all.”


  Feng Jun panted heavily and complained.

  “We have no choice. This is a society ruled by law.”


  Gong Qiang also had a helpless look on his face.

  “If we could kill, we would have finished them off a long time earlier. Their cries and screams make me upset.”


  Niu Xiaoniu shook his head in irritation.

  “Well, it proves that your strength is not enough. I shall seriously train you guys, when we return.”


  Lu Zhan was probably the only one on the scene who was relatively relaxed, and feeling dissatisfied with his team members’ physical conditions. They could not keep it up any longer, only after a short time of fighting. He pursed his lips and spoke.

  “Uh, is it time?”


  Hearing the word “training”, Xiaoniu and his other teammates felt terrified and changed the subject instantly.

  Everyone knew Lu Zhan was nicknamed the Devil Instructor in the army. Apart from the freak Chen Hu, who could meticulously finish every training program he arranged, all other soldiers who had attended his training programs, felt like they had undergone the worst torture ever.

  “You are not promising. We cannot predict many things in the world, we must have the ability to deal with emergencies, and we can never hold fast to one rule all the time. This is the difference between you and Cheng Hu.”


  At this moment, Lu Zhan set himself as an example, trying to give them an ideological education. “Boss has high expectations of us, and we must never disappoint him.”


  “Instru—Brother Lu is right. Our basic training is not enough, and we still lack strength. When we return, we must do some serious training.”


  Feng Jun was the first one to agree. He was in high spirits, but his strength was not enough. He realized he lacked drilling, and his strength was seriously inadequate.

  “I also want to increase the intensity of my training, I will never fail to live up to the expectations of the boss.”


  “F*ck, I haven’t had training for several years, my hands and feet are rusty, I must catch up.”


  “Also me. I have spent too much time, living in comfort. D*mn, I shall never disgrace the boss.”


  “Also count me in. I cannot lag behind the others.”
……

  Speaking of Ding Ning, all these soldiers became highly spirited, as if they had taken drugs. They all agreed that they should have more serious training, and should never disgrace the past Northeast Tiger Special Forces.

  Lu Zhan smiled with gratification, for what he wanted was this effect. As an instructor, he knew the importance of spirit.

  Just now, they had been struggling to carry on, but that was not a good sign, because it meant their spirits were declining.

  Ding Ning said they only needed to hold on for 20 minutes, but what if something unexpected happened?

  Once 20 minutes were over, their spirits would slump. If they were not careful enough, they would likely have been defeated by the number of the Axe Gang members.

  If the retired special forces of the Northeast Tiger were defeated by a horde of underworld gangsters, they would be ashamed.

  “Fight them!”


  With his spirits rising, Feng Jun roared and began fighting proactively.

  “Fight them!”


  At this moment, the eight soldiers had no reinforcements, but after a roar, they charged fearlessly at the Axe Gang members, who were terrified.

  “Ah!”


  “My God, run!”


  “Ah, my arm……”
……

  As the eight soldiers rushed among the scared Axe Gang members, like tigers coming out of forests, a series of cracking sounds from broken bones and tendons could be heard, and screams started flying around.

  Hearing the screams of their partners, the disorderly crowd became even more afraid. Their mentality had been destroyed completely, and they cried, screamed, and ran aimlessly, like rats.

  So, when Ding Ning arrived at the lobby, the eight iron-spirited guys held each other up, but they stood straight and proud.

  Axes, the symbolic weapon of the Axe Gang, were scattered messily all over the floor, and none of the Axe Gang members were able to stand up.

  Those who lay on the floor were the Axe Gang members, crying and screaming in pain, and those who could still stand up, had run off, earlier.

  The college town hall of the Axe Gang had been defeated completely.
