Everyone looked at each other, confused about what I was trying to do.
"Xiao Zhao, if you want us to fight, we can do that, but how do you want us to go about it?"
"Yeah, Xiao Zhao, we don't really understand what you're saying. Just tell us where to find them, and the brothers will make sure it's done cleanly."
"Exactly!"
I felt a wave of frustration wash over me. How could these guys be so simple-minded? It was a miracle they hadn't been caught by the authorities yet; Old Zhao really had a way with them!
"Stop! Hold on a second! I'm here to share a different perspective. Not every situation has to end in violence. The world of the Jianghu isn't just about fighting; it's about understanding human relationships."
Seeing their blank expressions, it was clear they couldn't grasp this deeper philosophy.
"Look, to put it simply, when I arrange to meet Wang Ju'en, I'll give you a signal, and then you can come out and block her."
Before I could finish my sentence, one of the younger members raised his hand and made a slashing motion across his throat.
"Oh, I get it! Then we take her out!"
At this remark, the crowd erupted in excitement. "So that's what you meant, Xiao Zhao! I knew it all along!"
"You don't know anything! You were the loudest when we started asking!"
This was spiraling out of my control. What could these guys think about besides fighting? I really didn't know how Old Zhao managed them.
Taking a deep breath, I shouted, "Stop!!!"
"I didn't say you should kill anyone! Just standing there to intimidate is enough. I'm not Zhao Changsheng! Those tactics are from twenty years ago; they won't work now. Do you understand? I'm thinking about your families. You still have bright futures ahead of you. If you go down this path, your lives will be ruined forever. Do you get it? In my eyes, you're not just underlings; if you're with me, you're all my brothers. I can't bear to see any brother go astray for my sake!"
My voice was loud enough to create a significant impact on their hearts! However, I realized that their old ways of thinking were deeply rooted in their minds; trying to uproot them all at once was impossible.
I watched them silently for a moment, waiting for someone to respond.
After a while, someone finally spoke up. "I understand now, Xiao Zhao. Whatever you say goes; we will follow you."
"Right! Xiao Zhao, at first we didn’t quite grasp what you were trying to convey, but from now on, if you tell us to head west, we won’t go east."
With that statement breaking the silence, everyone eagerly raised their hands in agreement.
I don't really know if what I'm doing is right, but as long as I treat them sincerely, they shouldn't let me down in return. Perhaps this step is also part of Old Zhao's plan.
So, who among you is the leader? Oh no, I should say the one in charge. I almost forgot that the leader is actually me now.
Just then, a slightly smaller man stepped out from the crowd.
"Xiao Zhao, that's me."
I wasn't intentionally scrutinizing him; it just didn't add up that someone with such a slight build could be leading a group of strong men.
Perhaps sensing my gaze, he walked over to a patch of grass, casually found a tree, and raised his hand.
With no hesitation, he delivered a powerful punch to the tree. Leaves began to fall like rain, and upon closer inspection, one could see a dent formed in the trunk from his strike.
I was left speechless, my mouth agape as the breeze gently blew against my face.
"Brother! How can you generate so much power with such a small frame?"
"Wow! That's impressive! How did you do that? Can you teach me?"
I rushed over, eyes filled with admiration as I looked at my little brother's fist.
"Don't let my small size fool you," Xiao Zhao said. "Back when I was at the Underground Boxing Gym as a fighter, not many could beat me."
Hearing this, I widened my eyes at the leader; I hadn't expected that the most unassuming one among us was actually a true expert.
