Dabao and Bao were a pair of brothers who often left their remote hometown to struggle in the bustling city of Shanghai. With their exceptional strength and daring attitude, they quickly caught the attention of a powerful figure and became part of his crew.
That figure was none other than the Eighth Master.
After aligning themselves with the Eighth Master, the brothers' status rose dramatically, and they found themselves enjoying luxuries they had never dared to dream of before.
Just last night, a beautiful woman had approached them, claiming to be the head of an entertainment company. This encounter excited them both, and as soon as they entered the private room, they were greeted by two female students from Art School who were there to serve drinks, making them feel quite at ease.
However, the seemingly harmless Handsome Young Man who appeared next brought them a nightmare they would likely never forget.
Initially, they thought it was just a minor injury from a blow to the arm. Yet, the events of that night completely shattered their understanding of reality.
"Brothers Bao, do you know them?" The leader of the group asked, sensing something strange upon hearing their words.
Although the brothers' expressions were odd, he simply assumed it was due to the pain from their arm injuries and didn't think further. The boss behind these two might not be a major player in the underworld, but due to their solid skills and fearless attitude, most gang leaders would still give them face since they didn't have traditional territories or assets to worry about being disrupted.
After tasting some success, the Eighth Master began focusing on mediation work.
This role was crucial for those involved in loan sharking; if debtors kept seeking out someone to mediate during collections, it could significantly impact income.
For this reason, even if only two newcomers showed up seeking help, he arranged for someone to find them some funds.
Coincidentally, he had just made a profitable deal with a shady drug dealer and brought people along to collect money. He hadn't expected that among these newcomers were two individuals familiar with his associates. Was the drug dealer already preparing to bring someone in for mediation?
As he pondered this, he sighed and said, "Since that's the case, we'll let you off easy this time. Let's consider it a loss. Brother Bao, let's go to another place."
Without intending to say goodbye, he prepared to leave. This behavior puzzled those beside him; Chen Hao furrowed his brow, unsure how Xiao You knew such people in this line of work.
However, he understood that this was not the right time to ask questions, so he remained silent.
"Wait a moment, you two. The rest of you can leave. I was just looking for you, so this saves me some trouble. Go wait outside for me," said Yang Xiaoyou with a casual wave of his hand and a smile. His tone was gentle, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing his words, Two Treasures, who had initially planned to play dumb and slip away, suddenly froze in place, their feet rooted to the ground as they dared not move.
"What do you mean? We’ve settled our debts, and I hope you won’t break the rules," said the leader of the group on the other side, his expression darkening.
In his view, it seemed that this person intended to collect more than just the interest, which was unacceptable; otherwise, how would they collect debts in the future?
Just as he finished speaking, he received a heavy blow to the head. Dabao, having retracted his uninjured fist after hitting him, reluctantly said to Yang Xiaoyou, "We’ll wait, yes, yes, we’ll wait downstairs."
While speaking, he tightly wrapped his uninjured arm around the head of the loan shark, his muscles bulging as he completely sealed the man's mouth shut, fearing that this fellow might say something. Meanwhile, his brother cooperated with him in this action.
The other two loan sharks who had come along were initially furious at the sight of these two hulking figures but quickly deflated when they compared their own sizes to those of Both Sides and noticed the bulging muscles on their intact arms. They were at a loss for what to do.
At that moment, the two strong men disregarded everyone else's reactions and directly dragged the gagged fellow downstairs. The other two similar characters followed suit with gritted teeth.
The sudden turn of events left everyone somewhat stunned.
"Ah, don’t misunderstand. I just took a part-time job at Blackwater Security Company. These fellows only understand fists; they wouldn’t dare provoke me," Yang Xiaoyou explained with a smile before Chen Hao could ask.
"These fellows are afraid of Blackwater Security Company? The Red Dragon?" Chen Hao was somewhat surprised by Yang Xiaoyou's statement.
"No, it’s Hive Security Company. They helped me out when I first escaped from Kapa City," Yang Xiaoyou casually replied.
"Oh, so it’s them. Their reputation has indeed skyrocketed lately. It seems they’ve established connections up top; many foreign companies that were previously strict have now opened their doors. I’m not sure about the specifics, but you’re doing well for yourself by getting involved with such a company," Chen Hao said with a smile as he patted Yang Xiaoyou on the shoulder twice.
Usually, this close friend would hide behind Chen Hao whenever something happened. Now, seeing the changes in him, Chen Hao felt a bit emotional. However, since this change was for the better, he sincerely felt happy for his friend.
Chen Hao was inherently a free spirit, and as he was heading straight for the Imperial Capital Military Academy's Special Recruitment, he naturally didn't mind that his friend had started to engage with societal issues during his "student days."
"This is a good thing, but you should also understand that you need to minimize contact with the Underworld forces in our country. The recent example of Yongxing is right there. We don't have the soil for large Organized Crime groups to thrive here. Even if they can be popular for a time, they ultimately can't escape becoming a political liability," Chen Hao warned, despite feeling pleased about his friend's character transformation.
"Of course I know that! We're Blackwater Security Company, not a debt collection agency. Don't worry," Yang Xiaoyou replied with an understanding expression.
Last night, he had made some moves against the Eighth Master to facilitate future dealings with him. It was a way to make use of a waste; he hadn't planned to get involved deeply. It was just luck that he ran into the Eighth Master's two younger brothers. Otherwise, after being busy all night, he would have felt quite frustrated.
"Brother, I really have to thank you this time. Those fellows shouldn't come back anymore, right?" Huang Ling's father asked hopefully. Initially, they had borrowed money from them out of desperation for surgery, but they had been entangled for a long time since then. A significant factor contributing to their family's current misery was indeed those bloodsuckers; even though they had repaid the money long ago, they continued to cling on.
Huang Ling also followed up with her gratitude.
"I'll talk to those two fellows later; it shouldn't be a problem. Our company specializes in dealing with such fellows. By the way, Huang Bo, I actually have something to trouble you with this time. I'm planning to ask for your help in procuring some medicinal materials. As you know, I'm still a student and also have a part-time job, so my time is quite limited," Yang Xiaoyou said after reassuring them.
Huang Ling's father had been able to withstand the high medical expenses and deal with those debt collectors solely through trading medicinal materials. His experience in pharmaceuticals was certainly sufficient; entrusting him with procurement would save a lot of trouble and the service fee would help alleviate their current situation.
With Chen Hao's occasional assistance as well, life would surely improve significantly in the future as the weather turned colder—make sure to wear more clothes! (To be continued)
