Chapter 223 Snitching
Chapter 223 Snitching
Hearing this, he finally stopped crying. He tried to calm himself down, raised his hand to stop the gongs and drums from beating, and asked Aqiang to bend down.
"I know what you mean, dear child, thank you!
But today I have to reject your kindness. I am not suitable to be the one in charge. I have been able to live a stable life for so many years because of you and Ayang.
Now that he's gone, you've grown up, and we've avenged Hong Lin, you deserve this position!"
A Qiang quickly shook his head, "Boss..."
Hearing this, she grabbed his hand tightly, preventing Aqiang from saying no.
The reason he was able to live until now was to avenge Hong Lin and other comrades who were killed. Now that his revenge has been taken, he knows that he no longer has the energy to be the boss.
He slowly picked up the brush with his right hand, dipped it in cinnabar bit by bit, looked at Aqiang seriously, and handed the brush to him.
"Take it, take over the entire Hong Gang. I believe Hong Lin and Ayang would also like to see this."
Ah Qiang's hands, which would never tremble even when killing someone, were actually trembling. His fingers were tightly curled together, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"My father told me to take good care of you. I can't take your power away from you."
"Aqiang, I'm not trying to seize power. I'm willing to give it to you. Today, the burden of the Hong Gang is handed over to you. I hope you can lead the brothers to safety and protect the Hong Gang."
The voice that heard this was deep and powerful.
"I believe in you, and my brothers believe in you too!"
Then he looked at the neatly lined-up henchmen and asked, "Are you convinced?"
“I submit, I submit, I submit!”
The thugs responded without hesitation, and their uniform voices echoed throughout the hall.
A Qiang quickly lowered his head to wipe his eyes, then looked up and nodded solemnly to Wen Yan, but did not take the pen directly. Instead, he held Wen Yan's hand and together they put the finishing touches on the golden lion.
The brush tapped left and right, and the golden lion's eyes were instantly filled with light. It shook its head and tail, and jumped up and down as if it had obtained some treasure, looking extremely happy.
The thugs on both sides applauded and cheered, and Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen also joined in the fun.
Then, another person came up holding red silk and a big red flower, waiting for Aqiang to hang red on the golden lion ginseng flower.
This time, after hearing this, she did not join him again. She looked at Aqiang with satisfaction as he tied the red silk and pinned the red flower on the golden lion, and gave him applause to express his blessing.
A Qiang stood in the middle of the hall, looking at his brothers in front of him, his eyes red like rabbits. He secretly swore in his heart that he must protect the Hong Gang and let the boss and father rest assured.
Hearing this, he felt helpless. This ceremony was very simple for the newly appointed leader. How could Aqiang be so excited? Seeing that it was getting late, he told him,
"These are turbulent times, so the banquet will be postponed. Since we haven't invited the leaders of other underworld organizations to attend the ceremony, I will post a notice in your name tomorrow to inform you of your new appointment.
This absolutely cannot be omitted, as it represents the Hong Gang's attitude and stance towards you as the person in charge."
A Qiang scratched his head in embarrassment. Oh, I felt a little silly. He coughed and
"Oh, sir, I'll take you to rest."
He nodded when he heard that and arranged for everyone to eat and then rest.
Zhou Yichen followed Chu Xin to their residence. Their rooms were originally arranged together.
"Do you feel that Uncle Wen is worried?"
Chu Xin stopped and looked back at him, her tone was strange.
"Wen...Uncle?"
Zhou Yichen lowered his eyes, shamelessly not looking into Chu Xin's eyes.
"Chu Yunting and I have such a good relationship. If he calls me uncle, what's wrong with me doing the same?"
Chu Xin curled her lips, turned around and continued walking, "How shameless!"
Zhou Yichen paused as he was about to raise his foot. Well, the scolding was not wrong.
Seeing Chu Xin opening the door to enter the house, he quickly stretched out his hand to block her.
"Let's eat first and then rest!"
Chu Xin almost rolled her eyes, "You smell like salted fish, I'm afraid the smell won't come out when I eat!"
After saying that, he pushed away the hand blocking his way and slammed the door shut.
Zhou Yichen stared at his hands like an idiot, his ears red, and he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.
Chu Xin just placed her entire palm on his wrist. Although it was unintentional, he was still very happy.
She stood there stupidly for a while, until she heard Chu Xin walking inside the door. She remembered that she said she wanted to take a shower first. Her whole body suddenly turned red, and she ran away as if she had been electrocuted. She quickly opened the door of her room and went in.
Zhou Yichen leaned against the door and held his forehead, feeling that he was quite stupid, but the feeling of his heart pounding was really too novel.
After standing for a while, Zhou Yichen moved. He knew that Chu Xin was very tired and might take a rest after taking a shower. He decided to take a quick shower before preparing food.
It was a rare opportunity that Chu Yunting was not watching him, and he had nothing to worry about now. He really wanted to have a meal with Chu Xin.
…………
Chu Xin did as Zhou Yichen expected. She took a shower and lay down on the bed and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already 9:30 in the evening and her stomach was rumbling.
She packed up casually and planned to go out to find something to eat. As soon as she opened the door, she saw someone in the corridor opposite the hall. Under the dim light, the person was standing upright in a military posture.
Zhou Yichen looked over immediately when he heard Chu Xin open the door. He was not as reckless as before. He just stood there and asked her,
"Are you hungry?"
He successfully stopped Chu Xin from retreating, but he still felt a little unhappy.
"Humph!"
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhou Yichen's eyes flashed with a smile. When he walked to Chu Xin's side, he said softly:
"I've cooked and left it in the dining room. Let's go eat together!"
Chu Xin looked at him in surprise, "You didn't eat first?"
Standing here stupidly for three or four hours, just to wait for her to have dinner together?
She has already clearly rejected him. Doing this again will be a burden to her. Wouldn't it be awkward for them to get along with each other in the future?
Zhou Yichen was calm and composed.
"I want to be nice to you, it's my own free will, it doesn't matter if you respond or not.
I beg you, before you truly have someone to join hands with, please allow me to stay by your side. I promise not to cross the line!"
Chu Xin really didn't know what to say. Was she touched? Probably not.
Disgusted? Not really.
She felt more that she was causing trouble for Zhou Yichen. Deep down, she was a person who didn't like to cause trouble for others.
Zhou Yichen was so sharp that he didn't wait for Chu Xin to finish her words.
"I don't ask you to respond to me, I just ask you not to stop me from doing what I want to do, okay?"
He only hoped that Chu Xin would consider him first when she became emotionally aware. This required him to leave a mark in Chu Xin's heart little by little, in a subtle way.
There was a sound of footsteps coming closer and closer. Zhou Yichen and Chu Xin looked over at the same time and saw that the person coming was Aqiang.
A Qiang raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them, knowing that Zhou Yichen's invitation to dinner had not been successful yet, and he looked at Zhou Yichen with disgust.
Before leaving, Chu Yunting repeatedly asked him to help look after the man named Zhou. With someone like him, there was no need for his brother Aqiang to worry about him.
Besides, the eldest sister hasn’t even had any interest in Fan, so it’s strange that Zhou Yichen could seduce her.
It's a pity that he didn't know that Chu Xin was not interested, but she was really hungry.
"I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Zhou Yichen's dark eyes hidden under his eyelashes suddenly lit up. He glanced secretly at the person who was suddenly stunned, pursed his lips and followed Chu Xin to the dining room.
Ah Qiang watched the two walk away and sighed. Zhou Yichen had actually won his bet. Doesn't that mean he can't even tell on the boss?!
