Although Xia Rong said so, Bing Tianyi still felt a bit worried. Following closely behind Xia Rong, as soon as they entered the door, Bing Tianyi and Wang Peng saw a large black Tibetan Mastiff in the garden not far away, its mouth wide open and drooling as it stared at them.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi didn't have time to think and rushed into the room in front of Xia Rong.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Rong would have laughed at such a scene. However, today, she couldn't bring herself to feel happy.
Once inside, sitting across from Bing Tianyi, Xia Rong looked at him awkwardly and said, "I originally planned to come and thank you, but things have been a bit overwhelming lately, so..."
Before Xia Rong could finish her sentence, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. I wonder if Brother Wang..."
At this point, Bing Tianyi did not continue but looked at Xia Rong with a sad expression. Xia Rong glanced at him and softly replied, "The verdict won't be announced for a while."
"Has he not contacted you?" Bing Tianyi continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, Xia Rong looked at Wang Peng beside her, her eyes filled with concern. Seeing this, Bing Tianyi straightforwardly said, "Sister-in-law, if there's anything you want to say, just tell me directly. This guy is my good brother."
Hearing this, Xia Rong finally spoke directly to Bing Tianyi: "Little brother, do you really intend to get involved?"
In Xia Rong's view, Bing Tianyi was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid, and the matters Wang Zhiqing had mentioned were not something such a young person could handle. After all, society is treacherous; one misstep could lead to lifelong regret. Just like herself—fresh out of university chasing after wealth—she never expected to end up in such a situation today.
Bing Tianyi could somewhat understand Xia Rong's intentions. After she finished speaking, he looked at her and said directly: "Sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but you know that now I've come this far; I can only follow Brother Wang's wishes. Otherwise, even if I don't seek out others, someone will come looking for me eventually."
The room fell silent as Xia Rong stared at Bing Tianyi without saying a word. Meanwhile, Wang Peng listened to their conversation; although his mind was foggy with confusion, he didn't ask any further questions.
After a long while, Xia Rong finally murmured: "In that case, please wait here for a moment."
With that said, she stood up and walked toward her room.
As soon as Xia Rong went upstairs, Wang Peng hurriedly asked Bing Tianyi: "Brother, what exactly are we getting involved in?"
Bing Tianyi smiled wryly and said, "Brother, it's better if you don't ask about this matter. If you find out, it probably won't do you any good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Peng quickly replied, "Then let's forget it. You don't need to tell me."
Bing Tianyi smiled lightly. Not long after, Xia Rong came out of the room holding a phone. When she reached Bing Tianyi, she said directly, "You sit here and wait for a moment."
Bing Tianyi was unsure what Xia Rong had done in the room, but hearing her say this, he could only sit quietly and wait.
About half an hour passed when suddenly a dog barked outside, followed by a series of urgent knocks on the door that reached Bing Tianyi and the others' ears. Hearing this, Xia Rong slowly stood up and went to the door.
Bing Tianyi and Wang Peng also stood up, curiously looking towards the door.
When Xia Rong opened the red door, three men nodded in greeting to her before looking into the room.
Bing Tianyi's first impression of these three men was that the one in the middle, despite having long hair, appeared particularly composed and shrewd. The one beside him had short hair and a sly look; since Xia Rong opened the door until now, eighty percent of the time his sneaky eyes were fixed on Xia Rong's chest.
The other man was tall and muscular; although he wore thick clothing, his muscles were still vaguely visible. It was clear that he was skilled in one-on-one combat. However, judging by his appearance, Bing Tianyi speculated that he likely wouldn't live past twenty-seven.
As the three men entered, they were taken aback when they saw Bing Tianyi. They widened their eyes in surprise for a few seconds before turning to Xia Rong and asking, "Sister-in-law, this kid isn't who Brother Wang was talking about, is he?"
"What kind of talk is that? Call him big brother," Xia Rong said to them with clear enunciation.
Upon hearing this, the three men looked even more confused. However, after glancing at Bing Tianyi again, they still called out "big brother."
Bing Tianyi waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Since you are friends of Brother Wang, we are all brothers here."
Just as he finished speaking, Xia Rong stepped forward and looked firmly at Bing Tianyi. "Since you're preparing to enter this line of work, you must follow its rules. No matter how good your relationship is, the fact that you are big brother cannot be denied."
Seeing the determined expression on Xia Rong's face, Bing Tianyi didn't want to say much more and smiled instead. "Alright then, please take a seat."
After these people finished their tasks, Xia Rong spoke up to introduce, "Brother Tianyi, these three are brothers that Brother Wang recently recruited from outside. Because of the trouble Brother Wang is in, they will now be your subordinates and help you fulfill Brother Wang's unfinished wishes."
In fact, Wang Zhiqing knew that sooner or later he would be killed by Big Head after getting involved with Xia Rong. So he prepared in advance and specifically posted a message online to choose these three.
The man with long hair is named Nan Hao. He was once an outstanding student at Dabeixiaoyuan but went astray and ended up in prison for three years due to being set up while mingling in society. He was just released this year.
The other two, Duck Brother and Rat, are both friends of Nan Hao from prison. Each has their own strengths; one is good at socializing and is very adaptable, while the other is a three-time MMA champion, making him a modern-day Unbeaten General. Unfortunately, just when he was at his peak, he accidentally killed someone in a drunken fight, which led to his imprisonment. Fortunately, he had saved up quite a bit of money from fighting back then, so he only served a few years before being released.
Once Xia Rong finished introducing the three and explained Bing Tianyi's identity, Nan Hao stood up respectfully and bowed to Bing Tianyi, saying, "Hello, big brother."
At this moment, Duck Brother looked at Nan Hao with some helplessness and said softly, "I say big brother, are you sure? You’re calling such a young kid big brother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Hao turned his head and stared sharply at Duck Brother. After a few seconds, he spoke in a deep but powerful voice to Duck Brother, "Brother, when we’re out here hustling, the most important thing is to uphold loyalty. Since Brother Wang’s life was given by Brother Bing, we should respect Brother Bing just as we respect Brother Wang. If you think I’m crazy for saying this, then you can get lost."
When Nan Hao said the last two words, his voice was so cold that it sent chills down people's spines.
Hearing this, Duck Brother quickly smiled and said, "Big brother, please don’t be angry. I was just joking."
After saying this, Duck Brother quickly stood up and bowed to Bing Tianyi, saying, "Hello, Brother Bing."
Bing Tianyi glanced at the three in front of him and waved his hand with a smile, "Alright, everyone sit down."
Once the three were seated, Bing Tianyi spoke earnestly: "Actually, all three of you are my seniors; I should learn from you. However, since Brother Wang is facing this situation now, I have no choice but to follow his wishes and lead our brothers to carve out our own territory. If there’s anything I do wrong in the future, please feel free to point it out."
"Big brother is too polite. This is my third day in the county town. As far as I know, there were originally three big brothers here: Crow, Big Head, and Qiangzi. Among them, Crow is the weakest. Big Head and Qiangzi have roughly equal power. Now that Big Head is gone, only Crow and Qiangzi remain. To consolidate our power in the West District now, we must prevent anyone from taking advantage of this situation."
As soon as Nan Hao finished speaking, Bing Tianyi directly said: "You don’t need to worry about that; I have a good relationship with Crow. As long as he hears that I want to control the West District, he definitely won’t make things difficult for me."
"Have you ever saved Crow's life?" Nan Hao asked Bing Tianyi word by word.
Seeing the look in Nan Hao's eyes, Bing Tianyi said, "Well, that's not the case."
"Then that's settled. We must be on guard against both of them." Nan Hao, being an experienced player in the game, knew that one must always be cautious and never harbor malicious intent.
"Go on."
"Next, we should find those brothers under Big Head who are relatively capable. It would be best to bring them under our wing first; that way, we can manage them better," Nan Hao continued.
As Bing Tianyi listened to Nan Hao, it felt like he was hearing a skilled chess player laying out a strategy. Every move had both offense and defense.
"Okay, so where should we start?" Bing Tianyi asked, looking at Nan Hao.
Nan Hao glanced at Bing Tianyi for a moment, then after a few seconds, asked, "How many people can you take down with your bare hands?"
"Well... maybe one or two," Bing Tianyi hesitated at first and then awkwardly replied.
"How about this: Our brother Huozi is a very good MMA athlete. Why don't you spend some time learning from him? Once I stabilize the underground forces in the West District, we can plan our next steps," Nan Hao suggested quietly.
To be honest, this sounded to Bing Tianyi like a pie falling from the sky—someone else would fight for him while he could comfortably enjoy life at home. When everything was settled, he could step in as the emperor.
"Forget it. Since we are brothers, it's better to share both fortune and adversity," Bing Tianyi said with a smile, speaking earnestly.
