Chapter 001: The Female Ghost

  In these two days, Yang Hua was worried that the female ghost would bring up the topic of being friends again. Unexpectedly, You Ruo had been in the bangle since she appeared in front of him that time and hadn't come out for so many days.

  And what about Yang Hua?

  Because I'm going to participate in the school basketball game soon, so I rarely come to class. However, when I occasionally come to class, my head never looks at Xie Yuting's seat again.

  He deeply remembered the words of the man with the golden-rimmed glasses.

  However, Xie Yuting in the class didn't know what was going on. Every time she saw Yang Hua coming into the classroom, she would lift up her beautiful face and gaze at him, always gazing like that.

  Basketball court.

  "Hua Zi, why haven't you spoken to Miss Xie for the past few days?" Zhang Chong also noticed that Yang Hua seemed fine on the surface these past two days, but somehow felt off and asked.

  Li Jian, who was walking over wiping sweat, also asked: "Yeah, Yang Hua, everyone is still waiting for you to hook up with that icy beauty for the brothers."

  "Don't mention her, it's infuriating." Yang Hua said, throwing the basketball in his hand out fiercely.

  Zhang Chong and Li Jian were both stunned.

  Han Jihai walked over and looked at the three of them, asking: "What's going on with you guys?"

  Zhang Chong smiled and said: "We are discussing our lifelong happiness."

  Han Jihai's silly face smiled slightly.

  "Is it Xie Demei?" asked Han Jihai.

  Li Jian and Zhang Chong were both stunned. Even the usually foolish Han Jihai could see it, how surprising, how surprising.

  "Come to think of it, I heard that Xie Yuting's father is the largest shareholder of this school, and also heard that this school was established because of Xie Yuting's father." Han Jihai said inexplicably.

  "Huh?"

  "Really?"

  Zhang Chong and Li Jian both had their mouths agape in unbelief, unable to utter a word.

  Only Yang Hua on one side didn't know how ugly his facial expression was.

  "Did you know that the Xie family is a well-known and respected family in Iran?" Han Ji Hai asked again.

  Zhang Chong and Li Jian on one side both had their mouths agape. They looked like they would rather die than believe it.

  "Really? Fake?" The two asked in unison.

  "Nonsense, of course it's true. Haven't you guys heard of the four most powerful families in Iran?" Han Jihai said with a grin.

  Zhang Chong and Li Jian on one side both shook their heads.

  It's also true that Zhang Chong and Li Jian are from other cities, they only stayed in Yiwu City after entering university, so they don't know the situation of Yiwu City as clearly as Han Jihai who is based in Yiwu City.

  Yang Hua, of course, did not know the specific situation in this Iranian city. He only remembered that when he came to school that year, a parent of a student who sat with him on the same bus was from the local public security bureau. At that time, he repeatedly reminded the student that after arriving in Iran, he must not cause trouble, especially with people outside the school. If there is trouble, even if his father is the king of heaven, he will have no way to help.

  Thinking of this, Yang Hua couldn't help but lean in and listen carefully.

  Han Ji Hai said, "Yi Lan City appears calm on the surface, but in reality, it's full of intrigue and struggle for power among various factions. Not to mention those thugs and hoodlums. However, over the past two years, due to the government's strict control, several major families have restrained themselves. But no matter what time it is, the Xie family in Yi Lan City has always been a top-notch family that no one dares to challenge. Just talking about their Xie Group going public, or just mentioning their Ming Xing Garden's luxurious villas worth billions."

  "Wow, so fierce?" Zhang Chong's eyes almost popped out.

  "Isn't their family in Iran City just a handful of people?" Yang Hua suddenly asked.

  Han Jihai thought for a moment and said, "If it's about money, the Xie family in Yilansi City is definitely the best, but if it's about power, I'm afraid they can't compare to Du Laojiu who mixes on the road."

  "Du Laojiu? Is he very powerful?" Yang Hua asked with widened pupils.

  No one had ever told him about the two forces of black and white in the city of Iran before, this time finally having a good opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the city, he naturally wanted to grasp it firmly.

  Han Jihai plopped down on the ground and said, "I heard from my grandfather's generation that in the past, Iran City was a place where snakes danced wildly and gangs were as common as cow hair. Later, nine bandits appeared out of nowhere in Iran City, known as the Nine Brothers. It's said that within two years, half of the city's underworld forces were eliminated by these nine people together. What's even more terrifying is that after a few more years passed, almost all the gangsters in Iran City followed those nine bandits."

  "It is easy to win a kingdom but difficult to keep it."

  Zhang Chong and Yang Hua nodded together.

  Han Jihai said, "All right, since those nine brothers took over the underworld of Iran City, they started to disagree. At first, it was just a quarrel, but later on, it gradually turned into knife and gun fights."

  "It seems even close brothers can't share wealth and honor." Zhang sighed and said.

  Han Jihai continued: "Do you know what the smallest old nine was doing at that time, now known as Du Laojiu?"

  Zhang Chong and Li Jian both shook their heads.

  Han Ji Hai smiled and said: "Yang Hua, if you were one of them brothers, what would you do at this time?"

  Yang Hua thought for a moment and suddenly said: "If I were one of them, I would leave alone at this time."

  Han Jihai's eyes suddenly widened: "How did you know that Du Laojiu left?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chong and Li Jian, including Yang Hua who had just spoken, were all stunned.

  "I don't know," said Yang Hua.

  Only then did Han Jihai say: "I'm telling you, that smallest brother from back then, Du Laojiu, chose to leave the city, just like Yang Hua said."

  "Not bad, Hua Zi, it seems that you can also mix with the underworld in the future." Zhang Chong joked on the side.

  Yang Hua ignored him and just listened to Han Jihai's words.

  Han Jihai also said: "Actually, Du Laojiu's departure that year was not the best choice. He chose to neither help nor fight, and instead took all his brothers with him. Some people thought that Du Laojiu was afraid of trouble, so he left, but later proved that what these people said were all nonsense."

  "Yang Hua, tell me why you wanted to leave just now?" Han Jihai turned his head and asked Yang Hua.

  Yang Hua said, "The first half is as you said, because he's his own brother, he can't take action. The second half is because if he stays here, it's inevitable that there will be conflict, no matter who gets hurt or whether it's self-defense, it's hard to avoid hurting one of our own people. If he leaves, he can hold onto his own power and not get entangled in conflicts with other brothers, this way he can achieve two goals at once."

  "Hua Zi said it was like this." Zhang Chong carefully recalled and said.

  Only then did Han Ji Hai look at Yang Hua with an incredulous gaze and say, "Yang Hua, I dare to guarantee that if you were to enter the underworld, you wouldn't necessarily be able to surpass that old scoundrel Du, but at the very least, you'd be on par."

  Yang Hua smiled slightly.

  Han Jihai said: "What Yang Hua just said is actually what Du Laojiu did back then. Back then, he brought his own brothers to another city and two years later, he returned to Yilang City again. Not only did the number of his people double, but at that time, Yilang City was already nearing its end. Except for the eldest brother, Tuque, and the fifth brother, Bai Lang, all the other brothers were killed by these two men. Those who fought together to conquer the rivers and mountains, died not at the hands of outsiders, but at the hands of their own brothers."

  "After Du Laojiu returned, although Bald Eagle's power was the greatest, but after two years of internal strife, he had eliminated more than half of his own brothers and could not catch up with Du Laojiu. Of course, let alone White Wolf. In the end, no one knows what happened, but Bald Eagle suddenly disappeared overnight, and no one saw him again. The entire city's notorious Bald Eagle evaporated in an instant. Some say he was buried alive by Du Laojiu, but it's just a rumor. Others say that Bald Eagle left on his own, but underworld figures never saw him again. The big boss disappeared silently. After Bald Eagle's disappearance, naturally, all of his former brothers followed Du Laojiu. As for White Wolf, he also followed Du Laojiu from then on. However, Du Laojiu was a man of honor and did not kill White Wolf."

  "That Na Duo is really something!" Zhang Chong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

  Li Jian beside him also had an expression of admiration, only Yang Hua on the other side had a complex and uncertain facial expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

  "That Nairan City, now I'm afraid on this road only Du Laojiu is the most formidable, right?" Yang Hua suddenly asked.

  "Now it's not good to say, more than a decade ago, no one on this road dared to provoke Du Laojiu, but now in Yilan City, the new generation has been emerging in recent years, and one role is more ruthless than the other, I dare not say."

  "The water is too deep in here." Han Jihai added.

  Several people looked at each other in dismay.

  "But as long as you're in Iranian cities, remember one thing: never mess with mad dogs."

  "Rabid dog?" Zhang Chong asked with a frown.

  "What's your name?" Li Jian also asked.

  Han Jihai nodded.

  "This guy is notorious on the road, ruthless and cruel, biting anyone he sees. Even Du Laojiu sometimes endures him. He has a group of thugs who specialize in selling hallucinogenic drugs and powder. They used to target female students at school, taking nude photos and threatening them. There are countless cases like this. So, everyone must remember that they should never mess with Crazy Dog under any circumstances."

  A few people heard Han Jihai say, and they roughly understood in their hearts.

  As for what kind of person this mad dog is, they really aren't clear about it either.
