"I just got out. The current situation is that both Liu Xiaolong and I are on bail. Wang Guodong will definitely have a showdown with my uncle. My uncle won't show me favoritism, but he also won't let Wang Guodong harm me. I can't predict the final outcome. If, hypothetically, I were to go in, Yang Yu, you would have to take on the responsibilities of the Hall Society."
"Brother Qiu..."
Zhang Qiu raised a hand to stop Yang Yu: "I'm speaking hypothetically. If that were to happen, you would be the leader. One of the reasons I gathered everyone today is to announce this matter. The Hall Society cannot be without a leader. If I fall, you must take on this burden."
Yang Yu stared at Zhang Qiu for a long time and nodded heavily, saying, "Brother Qiu, don't worry. I've got everything covered."
Zhang Qiu patted Yang Yu on the shoulder: "With you here, of course, I'm at ease."
Zhang Qiu then turned to Gao Zhi and the others: "If that situation really comes to pass, everyone must follow Yang Yu's arrangements; his words are equivalent to mine. Since middle school, Yang Yu and I have worked together in clubs. If anyone understands my intentions for the Hall Society, it's Yang Yu. Over these three years in high school, Yang Yu has fought his fair share; he has experience and courage, so you all should learn from him." Zhang Qiu was most afraid of any rift forming between them and Yang Yu.
Gao Zhi patted his chest and said: "Brother Qiu, don't worry. I genuinely admire Second Brother."
Wang Zhengxiang chuckled: "Brother Qiu, since we're on this topic, you can rest assured. I admit that at first, I didn't like Second Brother. I thought he was a bit arrogant and looked down on others. But through our interactions, I've come to understand him better; he's a brother worth trusting."
Zhang Qiu then looked at Zhao Pingchuan: "Zhao Pingchuan, I feel you're quite resourceful among us. You have many ideas and considerations; that's a strength. Yang Yu, Gao Zhi, and Wang Zhengxiang, while they are brave fighters, can be impulsive and lack consideration. You should give them more advice."
"Don't worry, Brother Qiu," Zhao Pingchuan replied, feeling a bit emotional as he looked at Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Qiu remained calm and continued: "Be prepared for any eventuality; preparation prevents problems. No matter what happens, I've already arranged everything—just follow through; there won't be any major issues. Next, I'll outline our club's main tasks for the near future."
As soon as Zhang Qiu finished speaking, Yang Yu and the others straightened up in their seats, waiting to hear what he had to say. At that moment, Yao Yu pushed the door open from outside and saw everyone sitting upright; he immediately laughed: "What's with everyone being so serious? What are you discussing?"
"Come sit down," Zhang Qiu waved his hand.
"Brother Qiu, Brother Yu." Yao Yu greeted as he sat down in an empty seat nearby.
Once Yao Yu was settled, Zhang Qiu said to him, "Yao Yu, later you should talk to Zhao Pingchuan to understand what I've been through before, so I won't repeat it."
"Sure, Brother Qiu," Yao Yu replied.
"Waiter, let's order," Zhang Qiu called out. Everyone had arrived, and they couldn't just focus on talking. Today, to treat everyone to a meal, Zhang Qiu had even overdrawn his meal allowance for next month. After receiving the menu from the waiter, Zhang Qiu distributed it among the group and said, "Order whatever you want; today is on me, and no one should be polite."
As soon as they saw the menu, everyone got into the mood, especially Wang Zhengxiang, whose eyes lit up at the sight of food. They exchanged opinions about what to eat, creating a lively atmosphere.
After ordering, the waiter went to inform the kitchen. Zhang Qiu raised his glass to toast everyone: "Come on, let's all drink together."
Everyone raised their glasses and surrounded Zhang Qiu like stars around the moon. The glasses clinked together with splashes of liquid as they drank it all in one go.
Taking advantage of the fact that the dishes hadn't all arrived yet, Zhang Qiu continued, "Now I'm still taking on our Hall Society's upcoming tasks. Liu Xiaolong, Liu Xiaofei, and Zeng Fan—these three must not be spared. In a short time, we need to take down these two gangs."
"Damn it," Yang Yu exclaimed excitedly at the mention of a fight, especially against these people. Even those Yang Yu brought along were similarly energized by the prospect of a brawl.
"Brother Qiu, no problem—let's do it," Gao Zhi laughed heartily, his voice booming.
"Brother Qiu, one of these three is the strongest in school; the other two are also formidable in society. We..." Wang Zhengxiang recalled that their group had just gone through a tough battle and felt a bit worried.
Yang Yu fired back: "Can we be a bit more manly? What’s there to fear? Don’t be cowardly; whoever it is that needs to be fought should be fought!"
Wang Zhengxiang awkwardly blushed. Zhang Qiu quickly stepped in to mediate: "Let’s not go there; Zhengxiang's concern is valid. Indeed, our Both Parties still have some gaps in strength. However, there's something I need to ask you all first."
Zhang Qiu teased everyone, and they all asked in unison, "What is it?"
Zhang Qiu straightened up and said seriously, "Although we have scattered back home and haven't been at school these past few days, everyone is connected. Tell me, after the Ancient City Battle, how did others spread the word about us? Surely you've heard something, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Zhi immediately became excited and interjected, "In several groups I'm in, our matter has been mentioned. The name of the Hall Society has definitely been spread!"
"That's right, Brother Qiu. Even our friends in the village are talking about you. They say that the Hall Society led dozens of people to defeat over a hundred at the Yuan Dynasty Ancient City, like a general charging into battle. Especially the part about the ambush; they’ve made it sound incredible," Yao Yu added, unable to contain his excitement.
Yang Yu laughed and said, "It's not just the students discussing it; even in society, people are talking about this. After this battle, our reputation has definitely been established."
Zhang Qiu quietly listened to each Brother's remarks; everything was as he had anticipated. The Ancient City Battle was a gamble for Zhang Qiu—if he won, the Hall Society would gain fame in Beilan County. If he lost, there would be no place for the Hall Society to stand. Fortunately, Zhang Qiu won, but it came at a very heavy cost.
"Zhao Pingchuan, what do you think?" Zhang Qiu noticed that Zhao was frowning and silent, a stark contrast to the cheerful expressions of the others.
Zhao Pingchuan slowly replied, "Brother Qiu, I’ve carefully analyzed our current situation. This Ancient City Battle has made us famous, and we can take advantage of this momentum to develop further. However, there are two points that are unfavorable for us. First, we suffered significant losses this time; many students were injured to varying degrees. Our purpose in forming this society was to protect them, yet the result was quite the opposite. Of course, this is an inevitable outcome of development and not the main issue."
"What is the main issue?" Zhang Qiu asked.
