Ruan QingShuang and Qiu Yan watched completely stunned as Xu Yun got out from the car. They wanted to hear Xu Yun explain why he would call Qin Wan’er away, and right now he alone returned.

But Xu Yun didn’t say anything to them, and patted the South City Tiger Trio’s shoulders. “These few days, gather the scattered Blade Axe Crew and the Four Wolves Gang’s members. Tell them that this a place that they can’t mess with.”

“Yes.” Shan HongNing was the first to nod his head in promise. Originally Xu Yun was very mysterious in his mind, and today once he saw him fight he was even more completely impressed. There was also one detail about Xu Yun that moved him even more: Xu Yun gave the money back that the three of them spent for that 20,000 Yuan member’s card. This was just, and didn’t cheat people.

Kong Zhong glanced at Qiu Yan. This woman who was in his mind like a death G.o.d looked at Xu Yun unexpectedly with a hint of admiration. This was enough for him to clearly figure how where he should stand. “Yun-ge, then right now we should….”

“Go home.” Xu Yun waved his hand.

Lu Feng looked at the renovation that had just started at the panacea restaurant, and to Xu Yun he said, “Ge, under me are no few workers, tomorrow I will have them come, leave this work to me, and I will definitely make it beautiful.”

Xu Yun had a squinty smile, “I already have Pang Gang working on it. How can I change workers halfway? But if you find some experienced workers, I won’t mind.”

“That sounds better. In this one day of me banging in nails, I did it till my hands were sore.” Little Qiang said with a wide smile.

“Tomorrow before you come see me, handle this car’s situation.” Xu Yun finally ordered Little Qiang. “Alright, everyone scatter.”

Xu Yun gave the order. QiangZi naturally waited for everyone to scatter. Seeing QiangZi directly open all the doors of Fan NanJie’s car, Lu Feng’s att.i.tude towards QiangZi changed a lot – after all, this was the favored person in Xu Yun’s eyes.

“Qiang-ge, how about us brothers look for a place to go and drink?” Lu Feng offered.

Shan HongNing heard and also came crowding over. “Yeah Qiang-ge, from now on us brothers will be together for a long time. We should deepen our relations.h.i.+p.”

“Today won’t work, I still have Yun-ge’s orders to take care of.” QiangZi was a bit smug. Before these big players wouldn’t even put his type of small-time gangster in their sight, but right now they were stooping and lowering their heads, refres.h.i.+ng!

Kong Zhong put his arm around QiangZi’s shoulders, and with a face covered with a bright smile, “Qiang-ge, why won’t you give the three of us some face? Gogogo, let’s go to a seafood stand, it’s one of my brother’s shops. If we aren’t drunk, we’re not going home!”

“I really have something to do, I can’t delay the thing Yun-ge ordered.” To be honest, QiangZi really wanted to go; thinking of the South City Tiger Trio toasting to him, he felt smug – but Xu Yun wanted him to sell the car and he didn’t dare to delay.

“It’s just the car business right? Qiang-ge, don’t worry brother. I can just make a phone call, and have some of my buddies that trade shady cars from out of town come over – plus the price will definitely be higher than whoever you’re going to look for!” Lu Feng patted his chest as he said it.

QiangZi hesitated, a bit puzzled. “Really?”

“He can earn anyone’s money but wouldn’t dare to earn Qiang-ge and Yun-ge’s money!” Shan HongNing laughed brightly. “Let’s go! Go to drink!”

　　……

On the panacea restaurant’s second floor, Xu Yun was also busy with something. With great difficulty, he explained what was happening to Ruan QingShuang about those several people.

At this point, Ruan QingShuang at last understood. Xu Yun really wanted her to be those gangsters’ Big Sister…. my G.o.d, this world is crazy isn’t it?

“My mommy is a big boss…. eh”, GuoGuo had decided, “Teacher a.s.signed this essay, and I wrote this.” GuoGuo with great admiration looked at Ruan QingShuang. “Mommy, just be the boss, if the kids at school know my mommy is a Big Sister in the thug life, who would dare to cross me?”

Xu Yun looked at GuoGuo with a smile, “Today when you ate with Teacher Su, you didn’t say anything bad about me right?”

“Nope, Teacher Su was asking about you – asking why you didn’t go.” GuoGuo’s two eyes glimmered a bit, “Daddy, I can see it. Seems like Teacher Su is very interested in you. If you can get her, GuoGuo is okay with it. That way at school I have someone covering me.”

Qiu Yan got up and lightly said, “GuoGuo, get to bed earlier.” Then she herself turned and went to her room.

“I’ll give the two of you s.p.a.ce.” GuoGuo, very sensibly, also went to her room.

Ruan QingShuang slowly raised her head, then looked at Xu Yun with suspicion and said, “Xu Yun, just now you weren’t kidding around right?”

“Nope.” Xu Yun said it very casually.

“How can I be a Big Sister in the criminal world, you…. you’re making things difficult. Xu Yun, I don’t want to be involved with the criminal world, I’m just an ordinary person!” As Ruan QingShuang said it, her whole body was a bit anxious. “I only want to peacefully sell a bit of panacea food, and simply do my own business well. I don’t want to become a spurned and infamous person!”

Long ago, Xu Yun already knew Ruan QingShuang would have this kind of reaction. With her kind of soft temperament, to have her become a Big Sister in the thug life was simply crazy. But Xu Yun felt that this kind of crazy idea may actually be a good thing.

“Do you still remember how we met?” Xu Yun lightly said, “I remember it very clearly. Even though you kept holding it in, but still, in the end you still couldn’t hold back your tears. When those people were hara.s.sing you, didn’t you feel wronged?”

Ruan QingShuang didn’t say anything; she very clearly remembered meeting Xu Yun that day.

Lu Bao brought gangsters from the Four Wolves Gang to get money. So many people were around but not a single one dared to help her say a few words of fairness. If it weren’t for Xu Yun coming out, she really didn’t know what could’ve happened….. if it was just herself she could still hold on, but she still had to take care of GuoGuo.

“But today who dares to treat you like that?” Xu Yun continued, saying, “QiangZi said, Shan HongNing, Kong Zhong, Lu Feng – not one of them is a good crop, with them protecting you, who would dare to hara.s.s you? I want you to be the boss not so that you can hara.s.s other people – it’s only in the hope that from now on, you won’t have that kind of rotten fish and shrimp hara.s.sing you.”

Even though saying this all seemed reasonable, but Ruan QingShuang still had no way of accepting herself as a Big Sister, “But I….. I don’t know how to talk to them.”

“Whatever you want them to do, just tell them. If you don’t want them to break the law and commit crimes, then tell them honestly from the bottom of your heart.” Xu Yun had a squinty smile, he knew in Ruan QingShuang’s heart there was much less conflict, “Who knows, maybe you can try to change these thugs.”

“Me?” Ruan QingShuang was shocked. Xu Yun was simply joking with her, for her to change these thugs? A joke around the world right?

Xu Yun nodded, “If you don’t try how would you know?”

Ruan QingShuang still shook her head sideways like a rattle drum. “Impossible, definitely impossible, how could I handle those thugs, I….. I can’t do it….”

“But don’t you still have me?” Xu Yun gave Ruan QingShuang a calming smile, and in Ruan QingShuang’s heart arose ripples. Seeing Xu Yun calmly smile with a cool expression, she finally found her confidence.

“I really can?” Ruan QingShuang said in a deep breath.

“Xu Yun smiled his eyes squinty, “Of course. I believe in you.”

Ruan QingShuang nipped her red lips as delicate as water, and looked at Xu Yun with ripples in her heart as she embarra.s.singly said, “But what can I lead them to do? How do I change them?”

“Shan HongNing has hotpot businesses, Lu Feng has a construction team, and Kong Zhong opened a sandpit. These are all decent things.” Xu Yun said, “Our inherited panacea recipes don’t exceed their businesses’ growth potential? Open a few stores, and franchise, open inside of a hotel – the things you can do are too many.”

Hearing Xu Yun’s words, Ruan QingShuang was stunned till she didn’t say a word. To be able to make her inherited recipes into a franchise and open a few stores, these were all things in Ruan QingShuang’s dreams that were buried in the deepest recesses of her heart – only they were dreams that she would occasionally think about and find laughable.

But when they were coming from Xu Yun’s mouth, they were so gentle and easy.

These dreams can really all be achieved? Ruan QingShuang didn’t dare to believe it. She stared at Xu Yun, and it boiled inside of her for a while and didn’t settle.

“A dream that people don’t find ridiculous is unworthy of being achieved.” Xu Yun smiled squintily.

Just a little more and Ruan QingShuang’s reddened eyes would’ve teared up.

A police car parked on the first floor’s roadside. Qin Wan’er got off the car, and the police car drove off.

“Someone returned.” Xu Yun smiled, “Shuang-jie, I’m tired, I’ll go back to my room and sleep.”

Ruan QingShuang’s mind was br.i.m.m.i.n.g full of dreams that had already been awakened by Xu Yun, and mechanically she nodded. Was she really going to be those thugs’ Big Sister? This problem had perhaps troubled her for several days now.

Qin Wan’er returned and directly went upstairs, seeing only Ruan QingShuang in the living room. “QingShuang-jie, where’s Xu Yun?”

“Xu Yun, he was just here, eh…. seems like he went to sleep.” Ruan QingShuang looked at the weary Qin Wan’er. “He phoned calling you over, why would you come back so late?”

Qin Wan’er looked at Xu Yun’s room door. “Today our station uncovered the largest location for organized erotic activity in our city to the present day. It was Xu Yun that gave me the news. He came back first while I took those involved in the s.e.x trade all to the station before coming back.”

“Xu Yun?” Ruan QingShuang’s entire face showed a complete lack of comprehension.

Qin Wan’er shrugged, “In just one or two phrases I can’t say it clearly. I’ll go shower first, tomorrow morning I have to go to the station. Tonight we already began to rush the trial.”

Ruan QingShuang heard and quickly said, “Go sleep early, tomorrow morning do you want me to get up early to help make you something to eat?”

“Shuang-jie, you don’t need to be so nice. I’ll be embarra.s.sed.” Sometimes Qin Wan’er was very much like a little girl.

Recently in HeDong City’s criminal world, one boss after another suffered huge setbacks, making very many people anxious. WenHui District and HongNan District were HeDong City’s two southern districts, and big gangsters had been uprooted one after another, making great waves in the southern districts.

Of the three big gangs, two were already destroyed. The last one left, the Mighty Heroes Triad, was naturally very worried – but that woman Su YanQing had always done things low key. Seeing this kind of situation, they immediately dropped the flag and hid the war drums. She herself bought a ticket to Southeast Asia and flew to vacation.

Such a big shockwave spread through not just HeDong City’s south, but also the east, west, and northern parts also caught a whiff of the flavor. No one dared to poke around, and each one was worried that this was the prelude of a heat wave against organized crime. To them, this wasn’t any good news.

Because of the seizure of the Tropical Rainforest, HeDong City’s several bath houses all closed up under the banner of renovation. There were no shortage of spring rivers of grief and gold dragons bathing in such supersized bath houses.
