Chapter 71: The Situation in the North of the City Wall

  "Boss, that waste doesn't seem to be here for a meal!" Chen Jiao said in a low voice as they walked out the door.

  "He's here to collect people!" Han Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold wind outside made him feel much more spirited. He turned back to glance at the sign of Er Ba Dao Hot Pot City, then withdrew his gaze with a faint smile: "Unfortunately, Old Mo doesn't give him face!"

  "Is he very powerful?"

  Han Yu glanced at him and smiled: "Not bad, at least he can withstand Gu Ziwu's twenty or thirty moves."

  "Ah?" Chen Jiao's face suddenly turned sour, he had witnessed a string of fights at the entrance of No. 12 Middle School and was no longer confident in his own martial arts skills. Now hearing the boss say that even someone who opened a hot pot shop was more formidable than him?

  This made his little heart feel wronged. He pouted and Chen Jiao sulkily swung his hand, saying: "After a period of training, I think my skills should be much stronger than before, but why do I feel like I'm getting weaker?"

  Han Yu couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, saying: "Why didn't you say so earlier? The sky you see is different from mine too! How many people can a small county like Beihai have? And how many people are there in the entire Tianshui City? You should know that in this vast land of China, where the dragon and phoenix roam, what's lacking the least are heroes and talents! This is just the tip of the iceberg!"

  Seeing Chen Jiao's bitter face, Han Yu patted his shoulder and smiled: "There is a saying that the more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know, so what do we ultimately learn?"

  "Newton once described himself as a child picking up pretty pebbles on the beach, why would a recognized founder of modern physics say that? Because when you keep exploring and making progress, you'll find that there's still so much more out there that you haven't even touched upon!"

  "The more you know, the more you realize how little you know!"

  "Boss, are you praising me or mocking me?" Chen Jiao rubbed his nose, saying awkwardly.

  "Boast, of course boast!" Han Yu laughed and said: "Those who have never been to the seaside do not know how vast the ocean is. If you don't take out a few days' worth of water from this vast ocean, you won't feel the endlessness of the sea. Being able to realize one's own inadequacy is progress, great progress!"

  However, just being aware of the inadequacy is not enough; you must strive to have more things to forget before you forget them. Han Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and gazed into the distant night sky: "The great waves wash away the sand, to stand at the peak and gaze out at the masses, one needs to constantly pay the price!"

  "Do you think I still have that qualification?" Chen Jiao said somewhat weakly.

  Han Yu looked at him and suddenly took a big step forward: "Hand over your loyalty and ability, follow me, one day you will see the unparalleled scenery!"

  Chen Jiao's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he gazed at Han Yu's straight back, his eyes gradually revealing a hint of madness. He strode forward, his deep voice saying: "Thanks, boss!"

  "What should we do now?" Chen Jiao frowned and said.

  Han Yu's footsteps slowed, and he said lightly: "The north of the city is where the three major factions of Tianshui City intersect, because they restrain each other, so none of them have extended their reach to this place. This works out well for us."

  "We will first unify the northern city, stand firm on our feet, and then compete with the three major factions to see who is superior! This is a test, but also an opportunity."

  Chen Jiao nodded: "What is my task?"

  "In the north of the city, nail down and recruit people to expand our influence! I'll have Zhuo Bu Fan bring twenty people, they'll arrive tomorrow. I'll leave them in your hands." Han Yu said softly.

  Chen Jiao's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and he nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, boss, I won't let us lose face!"

  "I just want results, no guarantees."

  ……

  At this time, Han Yu and others were walking and chatting, while on the other side, the waste was drinking with his subordinates in a private room.

  "What the f**k, he's actually humiliating me in public? I think he doesn't want to survive!" The waste Gang put down the beer bottle on the table, his eyes red with anger.

  "Boss, why don't I bring a few guys tonight and sneak into that kid's store to take care of him?" said a young underling with yellow-dyed hair, reeking of alcohol.

  "Fart!" Fei Chai glared at his younger brother and snorted, "If this matter could be settled by force, would I still need you to speak?"

  He paused for a moment, then said with narrowed eyes: "Go and arrange to meet the farmer and call the donkey. After I've taken care of that little carpenter, I'll make sure he kneels before me."

  "Pulling out the firewood from under the cauldron? The big boss is wise, the big boss is wise..." Those few younger brothers raised their cups one after another and flattered him!

  ……

  Han Yu had just returned home when the phone rang: "Hello?"

  "Black clothes, today's play was quite enjoyable, right?" The voice from the phone rang out.

  "Are you still awake? It's late, why didn't you let that kid keep watch? Your body can't take the strain of staying up all night, can it?"

  "We're all used to it!" The phone laughed and said: "Po Tian had me send someone to keep an eye on the Crazy Wind Gang. This time, are you planning to make a move in the north of the city?"

  "Hmm, I was just thinking of calling you to ask about the situation, and then you called. That saves me the trouble. You first tell me about the basic situation here." Han Yu said in a low voice.

  "There are four forces in the north of the city, and the first one is led by a useless person. He has the largest territory in the north of the city, occupying four streets! Under his flag, there are two bath centers, a foot massage center, a KTV, and a moderately-sized small hotel. There are four people who can be called up at any time, known as the Four Golden Guards, and he also has six or seven hundred younger brothers. He is considered the number one person in the northern district."

  "The second-in-command is nicknamed Little Carpenter, but I don't know his real name. All I know is that he has a group of decoration workers under him, controlling the entire northern part of the city's decoration and construction industry. Although they don't have much territory, their strength is not inferior to that of the Waste Chai!"

  The remaining two forces, the big brothers are called Farmer and Donkey. The Farmer controls the chicken thieves and dog thieves in the northern district of the city, all the small thieves and pickpockets in the north are his men. The Donkey has a grip on the prostitutes in the northern part of the city, also selling pirated discs and pornographic magazines!

  "What's going on? Are they just going to stand by and watch as the gang wreaks havoc?" Han Yu asked, somewhat perplexed.

  "Of course not, but whenever the Storm Gang wanted to take down this place, these forces would join hands. Plus, with Huang Quan pulling their legs from behind, after trying a few times and finding no advantage, the Storm Gang also gave up."

  However, this is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the Stormwind Clan has never given up on its expansion to the north of the city. According to the information I have obtained, they seem to have been pulling strings with that useless person these days!

  "Then do you know Er Ba Dao Huo Guo Cheng?"

  "Got it!" The phone replied promptly.

  Han Yu originally asked a tentative question, but didn't expect such a definite answer, and said somewhat puzzled: "Do you know that Mo Tai Xiang?"

  "Mo Tai was quite famous in the northern city. Do you know why his hot pot restaurant is called 'Two Knives'? " The phone laughed and said: "It's because he had a cleaver in one hand and a sharp deboning knife in the other, both very sharp. When Fei Chai and others tried to expand their territory and sent people to collect protection fees from him, they were all defeated by his two knives!"

  It's said that he once saved Little Carpenter, so the two of them get along pretty well. That's also why the likes of Fei Chai and Lü Er have turned that place into a buffer zone for their respective forces!

  Han Yu was taken aback, remembering how Mo Tai's sudden appearance had even scared the useless people into retreating. For a moment, an image flashed in his mind - a person standing in the middle of the street with a cleaver and a deboning knife...

  "It seems that even a useless person like him has his own uses, and only then did he think of going to subdue him?" Han Yu suddenly said with a smile, leaving Zhang Er's phone confused.

  P.S: Today, at least three updates are guaranteed. I spent 80 yuan to recharge a wireless card, which will be used until the end of the month...
