“What’s the matter, you’re not trying to take advantage of me, are you?

Let me tell you, I’m not that kind of person,” Xiang Yu said with an innocent look on his face.

Fang Rong immediately rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this.

The previously good atmosphere was shattered by Xiang Yu’s remark.

“Do you really want to follow that big bad guy?” Fang Rong questioned.

“What, you can’t bear to part with me?

If you can’t, then I won’t go,” Xiang Yu said with a ruffian’s grin.

“Dream on, who can’t bear to part with you?

I am just watching you walk straight into a pit of fire and trying to pull you out,” Fang Rong said with a look of indifference.

“Forget it, with the salary that Uncle Zhu is offering me, who else would I follow if not him?” Xiang Yu teased Fang Rong on purpose.

“You, you’re really going to follow him?” Fang Rong asked with a complicated expression, before turning her head away with a “Hmph…” and no longer paying attention to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu just smiled and said nothing.

Fang Kuohai was certain that something had happened to Xiang Yu, so he brought Shi Jian and a dozen other men, storming into Fang Yuan Logistics.

“Uncle Zhu, come out here right now,” he shouted as soon as he entered the gate.

Fang Rong had grown up with Fang Kuohai and was his precious pearl.

He wouldn’t allow anyone to harm her.

“Little Eight, what are you so furious about?

What do you want with Brother Three?” Zhu Qingyuan asked with a malicious grin.

“Uncle Zhu, stop pretending.

Where is Rongrong?

Hand her over quickly,” Fang Kuohai bellowed.

“What, Rongrong is missing?

What happened?

Who did it?

They dare to lay hands on my niece.

If I find him, I’ll chop him to pieces,” Zhu Qingyuan said with an angry look.

“Uncle Zhu, cut the act.

It was your people who did this.

Hand her over now, or I won’t let this go,” Fang Kuohai demanded.

“Little Eight, calm down.

You have no evidence, why would you say I took her?

What’s the point for me?

You won’t give me your bar, right?

I only care about your bar, not Rongrong,” Zhu Qingyuan replied.

“You, you want my bar?” Fang Kuohai finally understood.

Zhu Qingyuan wanted to take this opportunity to take over the bar.

Among the several brothers, only Fang Kuohai was the weakest, and he had just offended the other party at the big meeting, which gave Zhu Qingyuan a chance.

“Little Bro, where is your mind wandering off to?

I see you’re not making much profit from the bar; I just want to run it for you, don’t get me wrong.

Besides, hasn’t Rongrong been wanting you to retire?

This is closely connected to whether you and Rongrong can develop healthily in the future,” Zhu Qingyuan said threateningly.

At this point, Fang Kuohai was certain that Rongrong had been captured by them.

But at this place and time, he was powerless, considering their superior numbers and being on the enemy’s turf.

“Brother Three, when the eight of us brothers followed War God in the old days, striding through the rivers and lakes, how imposing we were, how bold!

How deep was our brotherhood back then,” Fang Kuohai said nostalgically, unable to take a hard line, he wanted to touch the other side’s emotions.

“Yeah, Little Eight, twenty years have flown by in the blink of an eye.

We can’t deny getting older.

Little Bro, I’m doing this because I care for you.

The bar’s profits aren’t looking too good, why don’t I give you some money and you transfer it to me?

With me running it, the profits are sure to double,” Zhu Qingyuan said as if he was concerned for Fang Kuohai.

“Little Bro, I’ll give you two days to think about it, come back to me after you’ve made your decision,” Zhu Qingyuan gave the eviction order.

Fang Kuohai clenched his fists in anger, but with Rongrong in their hands, he was out of options.

“I’ll think it over, but you must ensure Rongrong’s safety,” Fang Kuohai said sternly.

“Don’t worry, little brother, I will assign someone specifically to find my niece’s whereabouts.

She won’t suffer any injustice,” said Zhu Qingyuan.

“Let’s go!” Fang Kuohai bellowed before he turned around and marched off.

Shi Jian, who had been eager to act, was startled to see Fang Kuohai turn and leave so abruptly but then followed him out.

“Boss Fang, what should we do?” Sitting in the car, Shi Jian asked with some reluctance, “Are we really going to give up the bar to that bastard?”

“What else can we do?

Rongrong is in their hands,” Fang Kuohai laid back, looking utterly exhausted.

Rongrong meant much more to him than the bar did.

The only reason he had stayed here all these years was that he had dozens of brothers depending on him for their livelihood.

He couldn’t abandon those brothers who had been through life and death with him.

But now, when truly faced with a choice, he would not hesitate to choose Rongrong.

“Shi Jian, after all these years following me, have you ever regretted it?” Fang Kuohai asked with a touch of sorrow.

“Boss Fang, Big Brother, what are you talking about?

Ever since you saved me that time, I swore that I’d stick with you for life,” Shi Jian responded, also feeling emotional.

After so many years with Fang Kuohai, their bond was more than just leader and subordinate.

Back then, Shi Jian was just a migrant worker, who came here with the dreams of young men, only to learn the harsh realities of life.

All his money had been stolen while riding the bus.

He had thought about going home, but his pride held him back.

To return in such a manner would be too shameful, so he vowed not to go back until he made something of himself.

At first, he worked on the construction site, but after two months, the boss refused to pay him.

In a fit of anger, he went alone to confront the boss, only to find himself surrounded by thugs looking for an excuse for violence.

If Fang Kuohai hadn’t appeared just in time, he would have either lost his life or ended up severely disabled.

From that moment, he made a firm resolution to stick by Boss Fang’s side, to protect him.

Seeing Fang Kuohai in his current state, Shi Jian’s heart was indescribably heavy.

“This kid Xiang Yu, he can’t even protect one person,” complained Shi Jian, slamming his fist down on the keyboard.

“We can’t blame him entirely for this, I was too negligent.

I knew that Third Brother Zhu was likely to go after Rongrong, sigh…” Fang Kuohai expressed his regret.

“Shi Jian, after we get back, gather all the brothers.

I have something to say,” he stated then laid back in the rear seat, silent thereafter.

Upstairs in the Gangland Bar.

A group of people was gathered, talking about something.

“At that time, there were more than twenty guys surrounding Rongrong.

When I saw that, I just rushed over.

Guess what expression they had when they saw me?”

“What expression?” the crowd gathered around Xiang Yu asked.

“The moment they saw me, they just froze, all of them started running, hollering as they went, ‘The War God is here, War God is here, run for your lives.’ I was like, ‘Geez, I haven’t even thrown a punch yet,’ and they all ran off, so I had no choice but to bring Rongrong back with me,” said Xiang Yu.

“Bro Yu,” said one of the crowd, “are you exaggerating that story?

If they all ran off, how did you get that gash on the back of your head?”

“Yeah, yeah, did you get beaten up?”

“Nonsense, when I saw them running away, I was just feeling frustrated, and then I accidentally stepped on a banana peel, that’s why I took a tumble,” he claimed.

Fang Rong sat on a couch to the side, giggling foolishly as she watched Xiang Yu boast; she didn’t step forward to stop him.
