Brother Yang paused for a moment before exhaling a puff of smoke. He then said, “Third Master Xie, who I brought you to see yesterday, has a strong background in the legal world. He has set his sights on my territory and wants to snatch it from me. Yanzhi, in the entire gang, the person that I trust the most is you.”


  “What plans do you have?” He Yanzhi pressed on.

  “A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and he has someone backing him up. Although we are the local tyrants, we can only wait and see. If Third Master Xie really wants to cause trouble, we are not afraid either. However, at this juncture, we should not be treated like a gun handle by them, lest we be targeted by the police,” Brother Yang said. “However, Third Master Xie knows that you are my right-hand man, and it is very likely that he will rope you in or make a move against you. You and your little girlfriend have to pay extra attention to your safety.”


  “Brother Yang, you know that I’m not staying in the gang for money.” He Yanzhi understood what Brother Yang meant, so he took the opportunity to express his sincerity.

  “I know.” Brother Yang nodded. “I don’t doubt your loyalty, but I hope that you can always stay by my side. At the very least, you’ll live a long life.”


  He Yanzhi didn’t say anything. He just secretly touched the back of his hand. That hideous scar was left behind when he saved Brother Yang back then. At that time, he almost lost the use of his hand.

  “You’re a person who values relationships. I know that, but you have to plan for yourself too.”


  “I’ll be careful.” He Yanzhi nodded heavily.

  “Go.” After Brother Yang instructed him, he waved his hand to let He Yanzhi leave.

  He really liked this kid’s character. He was a man of his word, loyal, and well-behaved. He would never cross the line. If it was not a last resort, he certainly did not want to lose such a right-hand man.

  He Yanzhi left with Zhi Chu. Then, one of Brother Yang’s underlings suddenly asked, “Brother Yang, do you really trust Brother He?”


  “Betray? He can’t do that. What he hates the most is betrayal. You kid, have some conscience. Back then, Brother He even saved you.” Brother Yang scolded his underling. “Instead of worrying about him, I should worry about you. Will you drug me in the middle of the night?”
……

  When he walked out of Brother Yang’s bar, He Yanzhi’s expression sank into gloom.

  He was not afraid of getting himself into trouble. He was just afraid that people might unknowingly harm the daughter of the Sheng family.

  “Brother He, you don’t look well.”


  “Go patrol the place,” He Yanzhi said with an indifferent expression.

  “Brother He, does Brother Yang not trust us?” Zhi Chu asked.

  “I’ve done so much for Brother Yang. He has eyes and can see clearly. You don’t have to guess his thoughts. Pay attention to your safety and don’t wander around now,” He Yanzhi warned him seriously.

  “Got it. Did you have a good time with Sister-in-law last night?” Zhi Chu suddenly winked at He Yanzhi from the rearview mirror.

  “Feeling lonely? If you’re lonely, go find yourself a girlfriend. But there’s one thing. No matter what you do, you have to be responsible for it!” He Yanzhi quickly changed the topic.

  How could he let others know about the pleasure behind closed doors?

  “I don’t want to find one. There are very few women like Sister-in-law who are so straightforward. Many women are troublesome and cry all day long.” Zhi Chu had high standards. “Think about it. Even in a fight, you have to protect her and comfort her……”


  “Then you’ll be single for the rest of your life.” He Yanzhi snorted loudly. “A woman like your sister-in-law is unique. She dared to follow me into the woods when she was only eleven years old.”
