Finding a better spot, Fei Hu sat down and gently pushed open the window. The late autumn breeze flowed in, bringing an incredibly refreshing feeling. He suddenly had a sense that tonight would surely be sleepless.
"Hehe! You're getting more refined, this place is nice," Yingzi said as she pushed the door open and walked in with a smile.
Fei Hu quickly greeted her, and they sat facing each other. Yingzi opened the teapot lid, took a sniff, and looked very pleased. She asked in surprise, "Is this Bi Luo Chun?"
Fei Hu nodded, feeling a wave of joy inside. No matter how he got the money, at least someone was saying he had taste, which was quite rare. After they both took a sip of tea, Yingzi glanced at Fei Hu's expression and lightly smiled, "You look good. It seems that the Head Nurse really knows how to take care of people. Is she your girlfriend? You’re not being honest; it’s like you’re hiding a treasure. We’ve known each other for so long, and if it weren’t for your hospitalization this time, we’d still be in the dark."
Sigh! How was he supposed to respond? Fei Hu awkwardly scratched his head. If he said she was his girlfriend, it felt like something was missing; if he said she wasn’t, well, they had shared a bed. It was hard to say.
Seeing Fei Hu's troubled expression, Yingzi didn’t press further. She pushed a card toward him and said, "This is a little living expense from Grandpa. The password is the last six digits of your ID number. Don’t say you don’t want it."
Fei Hu initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing Yingzi's words, he pulled back his hand that was reaching out. He softly replied, "This isn’t appropriate. When I was discharged from the hospital, they refunded me over ten thousand yuan. I still want to return it to you; otherwise, I won’t take this card."
"Don’t be silly. If you do that, everyone will feel uncomfortable. You got injured while doing things for them; it’s only right for them to contribute a bit. Once you accept it, everything will be settled. If you don’t take it, they’ll always feel indebted to you. Besides, what kind of life are you living? What era is this? People like you should be out there shining; it’s time to fight back. If you don’t push yourself now, you’ll just grow old," Yingzi said as she stuffed the card into Fei Hu's jacket pocket.
Every word from Yingzi struck Fei Hu like nails driven into his heart. He really needed to wake up; however, for him, where was the path ahead? Which road should he take?
Fei Hu lowered his head and slowly savored his tea. The tea was slightly bitter at first but gradually turned fragrant and sweet with an endless aftertaste that lifted his spirits. Life is indeed like tea; without bitterness, how can there be sweetness?
Yingzi remained silent as she slowly drank her tea, watching the man before her who resembled a lion in slumber. She felt an infinite sense of emotion; if he were to walk the right path, he would become an illustrious figure. Conversely, with his abilities, once unleashed, he could also become a formidable hero who would shake A City to its core. She just didn’t know how to awaken him from his slumber.
Suddenly, Fei Hu looked up, smiled, and asked Yingzi, "What is your understanding of gangs? It seems you are not currently a member of the Dragon Tiger Gang?"
Yingzi felt a tremor in her heart at Fei Hu's unexpected question. Could it be that he really wanted to join the Dragon Tiger Gang? If that were the case, Ye Cheng would have another capable assistant, and her pressure would be alleviated. However, for some reason, Yingzi was very reluctant for Fei Hu to enter the Dragon Tiger Gang; after all, it was a gang.
After pondering for a long time, Yingzi smiled and said, "I work for the Dragon Tiger Gang not because I like gangs, but because there are other circumstances. As for my views? First of all, it is a gang. As long as it harms society and affects people's interests, it cannot last long. However, such gangs have existed throughout history; if managed well, they can contribute to society. If mismanaged, they become a local menace. It depends on the nature of the gang. For example, the Dragon Tiger Gang was quite popular in its early days, but if it does not strengthen its reforms now, its chances of survival are slim."
Why do others have such unique insights on these matters while she does not? Fei Hu felt inadequate regarding his social experience; it seemed he needed to gain more experience.
Yingzi glanced at the silent Fei Hu and softly asked, "Are you thinking of accepting your grandfather's invitation? This might not be a bad thing. In fact, many big bosses of companies started out involved in shady dealings; they just transitioned quickly. But this kind of life—you've seen it—sometimes it's living on the edge. You've been pulled out twice now and even got hurt. I really feel a bit guilty and wonder if you blame me."
Fei Hu shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? The fact that you called me shows you value me as a friend. Friends are there for each other in times of trouble. On the other hand, this is also some experience for me; otherwise, I would still be sitting in my little world without knowing anything about the outside. So please don't say those polite words anymore. What have you been busy with lately?"
Yingzi opened the door and called for a waiter to bring another pot of Tieguanyin tea before sitting down. She then sighed and said, "There are less than ten days left until the Dragon Tiger Gang's anniversary meeting. This is a regular meeting held once a year; I've been busy with that recently. I wanted to invite you over because Xiaofei and I went to Ye Wu's house to collect money and were worried about unexpected situations, so I called you along. I didn't expect Ye Wu to be even more ruthless than I anticipated; he actually pulled out a gun."
"Using a gun is illegal! Isn't anyone going to arrest him?" Fei Hu asked Yingzi in confusion.
Yingzi took a sip of tea, leaned closer to Fei Hu, and whispered, "From various signs, it seems this guy has some connections with someone in the local police station here. Therefore, some of his actions go unpunished. However, as long as he dares to break the law, it's only a matter of time before he's caught," Yingzi said through gritted teeth.
"Wow! You're really impressive; it seems you know everything! By the way, who was it that sent me to the hospital? I heard she has quite an impressive background—is she also a stunning beauty?" Fei Hu joked with Yingzi.
Yingzi made a funny face at Fei Hu and said, "Yes! She's very beautiful! But why are you getting ideas? Be careful of your Head Nurse; she's studying medicine—watch out or she might cut something off!" After saying this, Yingzi couldn't help but laugh first; it was her first time joking like this with Fei Hu, instantly filling the room with laughter.
In one of the private rooms of Night Without Return salon, there was an exquisitely decorated large bed in the center of the room where Ye Wu lay flat on his back. Beside him sat a young woman dressed very seductively who was giving Ye Wu a massage while one of Ye Wu's hands roamed up and down her snow-white thigh in an extremely indulgent manner.
On the sofa against the wall sat a woman in her forties. She had delicate and beautiful features, her hair styled in an elegant bun, and she wore a dark red qipao with a high slit that showcased her two snow-white thighs. She was lightly blowing smoke rings, exuding an air of nobility and elegance, resembling a wealthy man's wife. It was unclear why she was present in such a setting.
"Old Xiang, where's Auntie?" The woman who was giving Ye Wu a massage pushed his hand away from under her skirt and softly scolded him.
Ye Wu turned over and crawled onto the bed, laughing heartily, "Juanzi, why are you getting more and more shy? Auntie knows what we’re up to. Besides, Auntie is so beautiful; she clearly has a flirtatious nature."
The woman called Juanzi suddenly tightened her grip and exclaimed, "I told you to stop talking nonsense!"
Ye Wu let out a sharp cry and quickly begged for mercy, "Alright, my dear aunt, I won’t say anything else! Why are you so strong now? I never knew you had this much strength before."
Juanzi sneered and replied, "What do you know? As soon as you come here, all you think about is climbing into women's beds."
The woman sitting on the sofa stubbed out her half-finished cigarette forcefully in the ashtray and said to Ye Wu on the bed, "Boss Ye, about what I mentioned last time, have you given it any thought? You can't keep going on like this; it's no different from waiting to die."
Hearing this, Ye Wu quickly sat up and respectfully said, "Auntie, you have no idea how stubborn our old man is. He’s close to kicking the bucket but refuses to relinquish power. As long as he’s around, what we discuss can never be implemented."
"Boss Ye, this matter is trivial for you. I can't believe you can't handle it. You're getting older; leaving early is also a form of relief. Why suffer through everything before you give up? Think about it! The sooner you act on this matter, the sooner your pockets will be filled," the woman referred to as Auntie said with a barely perceptible smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wu's expression changed instantly. This woman was being too ruthless; coming up with such a cunning idea was forcing him to deal with Ye Cheng.
