Mo Ming escaped from Huang Siye and found himself in the hall, where He Yunsong and Silver Wolf were sitting together, casually chatting. Upon seeing Mo Ming, they both stood up.
"You really surprised me! You burned down two hundred bandits, and I heard they didn't last even a single move against you. Impressive, truly ruthless!" He Yunsong said with a hint of satisfaction, laughing. "You have no idea how green the faces of Sito Hai and Zhuge Sheng were during the meeting today; it was quite a spectacle."
"As long as their expressions are entertaining, I just hope I don't provoke Sito Hai. If that happens, I won't be able to execute my plans later," Mo Ming replied, seemingly having already made up his mind. He turned to Silver Wolf and asked, "So, how do you feel about the task I gave you?"
"I'm very satisfied! Little Cannon's combat ability is quite good. I had a little spar with him; it was exhilarating! It's been a long time since I've found someone to practice with," Silver Wolf chuckled and then said to Mo Ming, "If you have more tasks like this in the future, just send them my way. I'm open to anything!"
"Once we deal with Sito Hai, I won't be playing around with you two anymore. I need to go back to being my little bodyguard. As for my matters, it's best if you don't talk about them outside; we wouldn't want to attract trouble, understood?" Mo Ming patted Silver Wolf on the shoulder and smiled.
From these events, Mo Ming's ability to manipulate situations and his superior skills compared to Silver Wolf demonstrated that he could easily reach the peak on this path. However, it seemed that Mo Ming had no interest in power.
He Yunsong furrowed his brow in confusion and asked, "With your skills and intellect, why don't you want to get involved? I guarantee that if you want it, I'll make you the leader of the Little Green Society! I'm willing to serve under you and help stabilize this territory!"
"Alright, Ah Yun, there's no need to persuade me. I'm not interested in that path. It's tempting and can lead one astray, but that's not what I want. Enjoying life is what I desire; I don't want to be bound by too many things. I have more important matters to attend to," Mo Ming shook his head and smiled. "With you at the helm of the Little Green Society, I believe Nanhua City will be even more peaceful than before."
"Fine then, since you're not interested in this path, as your brother, I won't force you. No need for more words; being brothers means a lifetime commitment. If there's ever trouble, don't try to bear it alone," He Yunsong said seriously, clenching his right fist and pounding it against his chest—a solemn promise from a man. "No matter what happens, I've got your back!"
Just having known each other for a few dozen days yet being able to treat each other so sincerely moved Mo Ming deeply. A small smile crept onto his lips as he pounded his chest in return. "Being brothers means a lifetime commitment."
"Hehe, being brothers definitely includes me too!" Silver Wolf chimed in.
Mo Ming and He Yunsong exchanged smiles before both delivered a playful punch to Silver Wolf's chest—just enough force to convey warmth between brothers.
The world may be vast, but brotherhood is greater!
"Of course! Good brothers walk together," Mo Ming said with a slight smile. "And there's Jordan too; the four of us are brothers. Whenever there's something going on, we'll face it together!"
Silver Wolf laughed, "We are all brothers now, so we should establish our ranks. Mo Ming has great skills and a sharp mind; I admire him. If he wants to be our leader, I have no objections. As for Yun Song, you have helped me and treated Brothers well, so you can be the second in command, and I insist that Third Brother must be me. If Jordan disagrees, let's settle it with a duel!"
"I'm the youngest, so I shouldn't be the leader," Mo Ming shook his head. "Instead, I think Ah Yun would be quite suitable as the leader. Silver Wolf looks fierce; being Second Brother suits him just fine. I'll just be a little brother."
"Brotherhood is not about age. Both Silver Wolf and I respect you. You can be our big brother without any complaints from us. We hope you won't decline; otherwise, it would mean you're not giving us face."
He Yunsong spoke up, putting Mo Ming on the spot. It was up to him whether to accept or not!
Knowing he couldn't refuse, Mo Ming didn't hesitate and readily agreed, "Alright then, I'll take on the role of leader this time. However, you still have to lead the Little Green Society in the future."
"Sure, I'll do it. This tiring work is on me. If anyone dares to oppose you, I'll gather a bunch of guys to take care of them!" He Yunsong laughed casually, and both Mo Ming and Silver Wolf joined in.
"Haha..." Lord Qian walked in with a cane, smiling as he said, "You little kids are really bold and talented, casually talking about wanting to take the position of leader of the Little Green Society. How can an old man like me who has worked hard for half his life bear that?"
Mo Ming, He Yunsong, and Silver Wolf felt a bit embarrassed and turned to look at Lord Qian. They noticed that there were three people beside him: one man and two women. The man was real estate tycoon Murong Wei, and the two women were naturally Ruolin and Murong Lian.
"Mo Ming, you really scared me! When you got into trouble, you didn’t even think to ask for my help. Luckily, Lord Qian sent someone to inform me." The newcomer was indeed Murong Wei, looking somewhat anxious as he said, "If something happened to you here, how would I explain it to your father? Thankfully I didn't get through to him; otherwise, given his temper, Nanhua City would be in chaos!"
Murong Wei's words shocked everyone present; even the once formidable Lord Qian was taken aback. Could someone really turn Nanhua City upside down just like that?
To have such power that could easily disrupt Nanhua City, one must be incredibly strong. Lord Qian felt that even he couldn't have done that back then. No matter how powerful the influence of the Little Green Society, it was still a kingpin in the underground world and couldn't make waves in the larger arena; causing chaos in Nanhua City was nearly impossible.
Everyone was stunned into silence. Mo Ming couldn't help but twitch his mouth and quickly covered Murong Wei's mouth, smiling wryly as he said, "Murong Old Man, keep your mouth shut; this is a secret—do you understand?"
As he spoke, he made a gesture across his throat. Immediately, Murong Wei understood and nodded slightly with a smile, saying, "Sorry about that; I was just speaking casually. After all, Mo Ming's father is my comrade-in-arms; he's quite hot-tempered. If anything happened to Mo Ming, he would definitely come looking for me to cause a scene."
The people standing here are not fools; even if Murong Wei explains things beautifully, no one will believe him. It's just that everyone is unwilling to ask further. Curiosity can be dangerous, and some things are better left unknown.
Everyone has a vague understanding of Mo Ming's identity.
This cheeky young man has an unusual background; he is the type who enjoys playing the fool to catch the tiger.
"Don't worry, old fellow. He is absolutely safe with me; no one can touch a hair on his head," Lord Qian said with a slight smile to Murong Wei. In terms of age, Lord Qian is a full twenty years older than Murong Wei, making him seem like a child in front of him, lacking the image of a big shot.
Murong Wei nodded with a smile and said, "Since he is under Lord Qian's care, I am naturally at ease."
"Alright, let's go chat over there and let these youngsters talk among themselves," Lord Qian suggested, glancing at Murong Lian and Ruolin, then looking at Mo Ming. He sighed inwardly and shook his head slightly before leaving with his cane, followed by Murong Wei.
Seeing Mo Ming again made Ruolin exceptionally excited. If it weren't for the two big shots present earlier, she would have rushed over to him immediately. Now, unable to contain her emotions any longer, she dashed forward and hugged Mo Ming tightly.
This surprised Mo Ming, who raised his hands in the air, unsure of where to put them.
Ruolin held on tightly, her well-developed softness pressing against Mo Ming's chest, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable. His breathing became slightly erratic as he tried to control himself.
"Ruolin, you're hugging too tightly; I can’t breathe," Mo Ming gently pointed out.
Realizing her mistake, Ruolin quickly released her grip and stepped back a few paces, her face flushed like she was wearing makeup. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she said, "Brother Mo, I'm sorry. I was just so worried about you. When I saw you were fine, I got too excited and lost control of my emotions. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all, Ruolin. Thank you for your concern; I'm fine," Mo Ming replied with a sunny smile. He then looked at the somewhat flickering gaze of Murong Lian and said with a grin, "Miss Murong, have you been happy lately without me to bicker with?"
Today, Murong Lian was dressed in a light pink qipao that accentuated her curvaceous figure perfectly, resembling a delicate rose—charming and fragrant. For a moment, Mo Ming found himself captivated.
No one noticed the faint sadness that flashed in Murong Lian's eyes. She smirked playfully and said, "Of course I'm happy. I don't know how well I'm doing, eating well and sleeping soundly, without worrying at all about you, Island Nation Actor. You must be doing quite well too, otherwise, you wouldn't have such a noticeable handprint on your face!"
"Wow, Sister Murong, I really didn't notice that! Brother Mo, who could be so cruel as to hit you that hard?" Ruolin's innocent demeanor made her feel a bit sorry for Mo Ming.
"Uh, this..." Mo Ming was instantly stunned. How should he explain this? If he said it was a beautiful mistake, she definitely wouldn't believe him. If he said it was a gift to himself, he wouldn't believe it either. Wait, why should he even explain!
Mo Ming smiled and decided not to explain anymore. If that's how she wanted to think, then so be it!
"Yes, I'm doing very well; life is quite pleasant."
Originally, Murong Lian wanted to hear Mo Ming explain that this was just a misunderstanding, but after hearing his words, she felt uncomfortable and coldly turned her head away.
"Ahem..." He Yunsong cleared his throat a few times and then laughed, "Mo Ming, it's not good to treat us like transparent people from back then. Hurry up and introduce your sister-in-law!"
"Right, right! Introduce your sister-in-law..." Mo Ming immediately lost his composure and spat in dissatisfaction, "What sister-in-law? You almost tricked me! Let me introduce you; this is my good sister Ruolin, and this is my employer Murong Lian."
He Yunsong was very polite and said, "Hello everyone, I'm He Yunsong. This is Silver Wolf; we are all brothers of Mo Ming. If you have any sisters to introduce to us, of course, if it's you two, that would be perfect."
