Chapter 19

"Who are these people, do you know them?" Ling Xuan could tell from one look that these people had come with ill intentions.

Chu Ying smiled and said, "They are my sister's friends. I'll go down and check, wait for me here for a moment."

As he spoke, Chu Ying got out of the car and cut straight to the point, "Did you bring the money?"

Li Dong, seeing the deformed front of the Wuling, smiled awkwardly and said, "No."

"Without the money, why are you here? Are you itching for a beating?" As Chu Ying spoke, he moved forward. He could tolerate the women, but not the men.

Li Dong's face changed. He had experienced Chu Ying's temper before and quickly said, "Brother Ying, don't get angry. We came with sincerity."

A Biao also smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Ying. Just let Brother Dong finish his words."

Chu Ying sneered, "How much is sincerity worth? I even brought the car for you, isn't that more sincere?"

Ling Xuan laughed from the car. This guy was not only a pervert but also a thug. The car was already damaged, yet he still demanded money. If it were her, she would have slapped them long ago.

However, Li Dong and A Biao did not get angry; instead, they smiled and said, "This car will belong to Brother Ying from now on. We discussed it and decided to follow Brother Ying. Whoever Brother Ying tells us to beat, we will beat!"

Chu Ying was taken aback. He hadn't planned to get involved in this, and he had already found a job. What did he need these guys for?

"You can take the car, but the price remains the same," Chu Ying said noncommittally.

Li Dong and A Biao were anxious, "Brother Ying, don't be like that. The brothers really want to follow you!"

At this moment, Huanzi and the foreman, Old Li, also ran over. Huanzi, seeing the same group of people, thought they were here to cause trouble and angrily said, "You're here to cause trouble again? Do you think my brothers are easy to bully?"

Li Dong was about to get angry, but A Biao quickly whispered a few words in his ear. Li Dong's anger turned to a smile, and he said to Huanzi, "Is this Brother Huan? How dare we cause trouble? We are here to join Brother Ying. As long as Brother Ying gives the word, even if it means climbing a mountain of knives or walking through a sea of fire, we won't flinch!"

In the underworld, who doesn't have some experience? Although Li Dong wasn't doing well, he was still a leader. He knew Chu Ying was not as simple as he appeared, especially after hearing that Chu Ying had beaten the son of the town mayor, Zhang Baogang, and that the police couldn't do anything to him. This confirmed Li Dong's suspicions.

To do well in the underworld, one needs not only strength but also the right people to follow. Li Dong was confident that Chu Ying was someone he could "entrust his life to," so he brought a group of brothers over. To show their sincerity, they walked up the mountain, taking nearly two hours to reach the top.

Huanzi whispered to Chu Ying, "Big Eagle, take them in. These guys have done no good in the nearby villages. If you manage them, they will behave better."

Chu Ying pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Alright, you will follow Huanzi from now on. Do whatever he tells you. If anyone disobeys or resists, don't blame me for being harsh!"

Hearing this, Huanzi quickly shook his head, "How can I do that? I don't know anything, don't..."

"Brother Huan, you're great. From now on, you're our big brother. My name is Li Dong, just call me Dongzi!" Li Dong seized the opportunity. Although Huanzi was nothing, he was Chu Ying's brother. If anything happened to Huanzi, would Chu Ying stand by and do nothing?

Chu Ying patted Huanzi's shoulder and smiled, "To be a big brother, you need to act like one. Don't you want to reform them? Now it's up to you!"

He paused slightly and whispered, "More friends mean more paths. These people can be useful to us. Take them in, I believe you can do it!"

Although Huanzi didn't know what Chu Ying was planning, he trusted him. He nodded and spoke to the foreman, Old Li. After getting Old Li's approval, he said, "From now on, you will work on the construction site. If anyone is unwilling, you can leave now; no one will stop you."

Li Dong and the others did not hesitate. This was a test from Brother Huan, and they readily agreed, following Huanzi to the construction site.

Chu Ying stopped A Biao and smiled, "Does your hand still hurt?"

A Biao, emotionally moved, said, "Thank you, Brother Ying. I also thank you for the lesson. If not for that, I wouldn't have the chance to meet Brother Ying and Brother Huan!"

Seeing his good attitude, Chu Ying pinched his hand a few times, and the deformed hand instantly returned to normal. A Biao was extremely grateful and even more convinced that Chu Ying was no ordinary person, feeling excited about his decision to follow him.

"I'm starving, are we going or not?" Ling Xuan, seeing the matter resolved so easily, felt bored and urged them.

A Biao, who had never seen Ling Xuan, noticed her sitting in the car and said, "Is this Sister-in-law? Brother Ying has good taste! I'll go down the mountain to buy breakfast for Sister-in-law and Brother Ying!"

He ran down the mountain, and Chu Ying called him back, "Drive down, or you'll be back by noon!"

"Yes, thank you, Brother Ying!" A Biao took the car keys, opened the door, and respectfully said, "Sister-in-law, please get out and wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."

Ling Xuan, blushing from being called "Sister-in-law," glared at Chu Ying but didn't argue, feeling a bit pleased inside.

A Biao drove off in a hurry, and Chu Ying chuckled, muttering, "This kid is on the right path. I'll have to cultivate him well."

"Are you looking for death? Why didn't you explain to him just now?" Ling Xuan, clearly hearing Chu Ying's words, was both embarrassed and angry.

Chu Ying said with interest, "What should I explain? He can call me whatever he wants. I can't control that. Why didn't you explain yourself?"

"I'm too lazy to deal with you!" Ling Xuan rolled her eyes.

After a moment, A Biao, who had just left, returned. Chu Ying thought this guy was really fast and decided to cultivate him.

"Brother Ying, several cars are heading up the mountain. The lead car seems to have Huang Qiang from the Qingyang City Tiger Gang. From the looks of it, they are not here with good intentions. You and Sister-in-law should hide. I'll call Brother Dong!" A Biao parked the car in front of Chu Ying and hurriedly took out his phone.

Chu Ying frowned, "Is Huang Qiang very strong?"

A Biao's face was worried as he answered, "Huang Qiang is an old thug and has a place in the Qingyang City Tiger Gang. He is much stronger than Brother Dong!"

Chu Ying said calmly, "If that's the case, don't call Li Dong. He won't be of any use. I'll handle it myself!"

As he spoke, Huang Qiang's cars had already reached the mountain, with at least ten of them.
