"Third Brother, I know you're a smart guy. You understand the situation between me and Brother Two," Lu Fei suddenly said with a smile.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but chuckle. I sighed helplessly while driving. "Actually, Big Brother, you know I'm just a private person, raised outside. I really don't want to get involved in your matters with Brother Two. I know my own worth."
I spoke humbly, acknowledging that in this world, many things are like that. Even if you clearly want to act, you still have to maintain your composure and play the part. In such situations, there are only benefits to be gained, never drawbacks.
"But you're still involved now, aren't you? Don't pretend you don't know what your choice means. If I'm not mistaken, you've chosen to stand by my side, and soon Aunt Wu and your Brother Two will come after you," Lu Fei said with a grin.
I feigned immense fear and surprise, slamming on the brakes. If Lu Fei hadn't been smart enough to buckle his seatbelt, he would have surely flown through the windshield.
"Come on, Big Brother! Are you serious? I only chose to back Brother Two out of respect for you! I really don't want to be part of your conflicts. Please don’t put me in danger; I just want to live a normal life!" I exclaimed passionately.
Lu Fei shook his head, clearly startled by my sudden braking. In his eyes, I could see a hint of deep disdain.
Yes, disdain. My ability to read people is infallible.
It was understandable for Lu Fei to feel this way about me; after all, I was someone who shouldn't even exist in this world. He had gone through great lengths to promote me and give me gifts, yet here I was, failing to meet expectations.
"Third Brother," he said, patting my shoulder, "you are a man of the Lu Family, you know? This is something you cannot avoid. From the moment you were born, you were destined to be caught up in this conflict. Just drive; if you listen to your big brother, I'll definitely protect you."
His words rang true. Yes, from the moment I came into this world, I was bound to be entangled in this strife—not because I was a member of the Lu Family but because my father is that old man Qu Liancheng.
I heard that after Qu Youyang died, the remaining servants of the Qu Family scattered; who knows where that vegetative old man ended up?
After spending an entire night with Lu Fei, I witnessed his madness firsthand. He had a penchant for dating celebrities—especially those who were no longer in their prime. He told me he enjoyed the feeling of having others' idols beneath him.
And he never just dated one; everyone here had to respectfully call him "Fei Ye" when they saw him!
I am Yan Ye!
Having money is great; it allows one to indulge amidst chaos and throw cash around lavishly while enjoying people's respect. But in reality, they only respect the money itself.
I still wanted to remain sincere!
But that was just talk. Now that I was here, I had to play along without revealing any signs of hesitation. Besides, wasn't I single now?
Wasn't it agreed that I'd forget Linna?
After spending a delightful night in this den of indulgence, the next day marked my visit to the Qing Gang Law Enforcement Hall. Even though I had once served as the Enforcement Hall Master for Tian Ye Gang, I'd never been to Qing Gang's Enforcement Hall before.
I had always known that the Qing Gang's Enforcement Hall was formidable, more so than any other faction, but I never realized just how powerful it truly was. It seemed that soon I would get to witness it firsthand.
"Uncle Tiger, my father has called you, right?"
Lu Fei brought me to the main headquarters of the Qing Gang Law Enforcement Hall. The Enforcement Hall's headquarters was a luxurious eight-story building. I found myself in Uncle Tiger's office, accompanied only by Lu Fei. His appointment as the deputy hall master of the Enforcement Hall was sufficient for the occasion.
I was familiar with Uncle Tiger; within the Qing Gang, there were three factions: Lu Fei, Lu Xian, and Lu Ding Tian. Lu Ding Tian was aware that his two sons were cultivating their own factions, but for now, those aligned with him had yet to choose between Lu Xian and Lu Fei. Uncle Tiger was one of them, which is why Lu Ding Tian had appointed him as the Enforcement Hall Master.
"Ah, yes, I've called. This must be Young Master Yan? Quite the distinguished gentleman!" He extended his large hand toward me with a warm smile. "I’m Hu; everyone calls me Tiger."
Tiger appeared to be in his forties, bald and sturdy at just under five foot seven, with a deep scar on his face that gave him an imposing presence. However, in front of Lu Ding Tian's son, he couldn't exude that same dominance.
"Hello, Uncle Tiger."
I shook hands with Uncle Tiger politely, maintaining a friendly demeanor. He surely understood why I was there; I was there to keep an eye on him. I could sense that his feelings were quite complex and anxious at that moment.
"Just so you know, from now on my Third Brother will be the deputy hall master here. If anything comes up, feel free to discuss it with my Third Brother," Lu Fei said with a raised eyebrow while looking at Uncle Tiger. Although he referred to him as "uncle," there was no hint of respect in his tone—just a commanding presence toward a subordinate.
Uncle Tiger immediately adopted a submissive demeanor, nodding eagerly and assuring Lu Fei that he understood and would ensure I wasn't treated unfairly.
After Lu Fei left, Uncle Tiger promptly took me to my new office, which was even more lavishly decorated than his own.
"Young Master Yan, this is your office! Are you satisfied? And here’s your secretary; I arranged this for you. What do you think?"
Uncle Tiger said with a smile as he called over a stunning beauty. I glanced at her and froze; she bore a striking resemblance to Linna!
Her long phoenix eyes held a hint of resentment but also stubbornness; she seemed displeased.
"What are you standing there for? Don’t you greet him? This is Young Master Yan!"
Uncle Tiger called out to the young woman a few times before turning back to me. "Please excuse her; she’s new and doesn’t know any better."
I understood what Uncle Tiger meant; he was trying hard to please me. The girl finally lifted her head respectfully and addressed me: "Young Master Yan."
Yet, I could still see traces of her discontent in her eyes.
She looked so much like Linna that seeing her displeased expression tugged at my heartstrings. Perhaps no matter what happened, I could never forget the woman I deeply loved.
"Are you satisfied, Young Master Yan?"
I watched as the little girl turned cold, and Uncle Tiger was extremely pleased, which meant he had successfully flattered her. Even though I knew she was unwilling to be my secretary, I still smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm satisfied."
I understood that if I expressed dissatisfaction at that moment, Uncle Tiger would definitely make things difficult for her. Even if he didn't punish her, he would take her as his own mistress. I wouldn't allow such a thing to happen; I couldn't permit a girl who resembled Linna to become an old man's plaything.
I clearly saw a flicker of disgust in the girl's eyes after I said I was satisfied. At that moment, she must have thought of me as a lecherous, debauched rich heir, Zi Ge. But I didn't care how she viewed me; after all, she was merely someone who looked like Linna. She wasn't Linna. I had done what I needed to do, and that was enough.
"Can I go in?" Uncle Tiger asked with a beaming smile while still blocking the doorway. It seemed he had no intention of leaving.
"Yes! Yes! Yan Shao Ye, if you need anything, just call me," Uncle Tiger said eagerly. Even though he was the main hall master and I was the deputy hall master, perhaps this was the benefit of having a good father? Although I wasn't entirely willing.
"Then please bring me some materials from the Enforcement Hall later. Now that I'm the deputy hall master of the Enforcement Hall, I'm completely in the dark about it," I said. Understanding the situation and the dynamics was essential for an undercover agent. The Enforcement Hall was crucial now and in the future; I needed to be fully aware of everything happening within it.
Uncle Tiger nodded quickly, promising to bring me the Enforcement Hall's materials before leaving.
Only the unhappy girl and I remained as we entered the office. Once inside, she stood there like a wooden statue—no smile on her face, just a hint of grievance, silent and unresponsive.
I glanced at her and smiled but chose not to engage with her. Perhaps she would be happier if I ignored her. I sat down in my office chair and quietly waited for Uncle Tiger to bring me the materials.
Before long, Uncle Tiger returned with several people carrying books filled with information about Qing Gang Law Enforcement Hall—something I had anticipated given its extensive nature.
As soon as Uncle Tiger entered, he spotted the girl standing like a statue and immediately became displeased. He shouted at her, "What are you doing? Huh? We brought you here so you could stand there like an idiot? Are you made of wood? Can't you move?"
The girl’s face flushed red from Uncle Tiger's reprimand, her hands clenched tightly around her dress.
Watching this girl who resembled Linna being scolded by Uncle Tiger made my anger slowly rise from my gut. In Uncle Tiger's eyes, the ideal situation upon his return was for this girl to be lying in my arms.
But this is my territory! Just because you think it's appropriate doesn't mean it actually is!
