Originally, I thought that the triads were just like in the movies, a bunch of mindless youngsters getting together to chop people up. But after these few encounters between the Green Dragon Gang and the Red Lantern Club, I realised that things are not that simple.
Not to mention the Green Dragon Gang, but the Red Lantern Club. Zhao Zichen is just a young man, but this guy is a great wise man, and he is especially good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
The youngsters of the Green Dragon Gang were simply fooled by him.
This guy is so smart, so smart that he scares people. I’m sure he’s not as innocent as he claims. I’ll have to ask him when I get the chance.
After the crisis was averted, Ye Debiao organised the restoration of order at the scene.
Zhao Gongluan called Ye Debiao to give him a good commendation, praising this big man with a tiger’s head and a tiger’s brain so much that his black face turned red.
I was ready to go to Zhao Gongluan and ask him about the bodyguard, but I was stopped by a voice behind me.
“Your Grace.”
I turned around, only to see a man on his knees, kowtowing to me several times. I waited for a moment, confused, until he stood up and I recognized that this was not the husband of the woman in labor.
“Get up, it wasn’t me who saved your wife, it was the head of security.”
“You are all my benefactors, if it wasn’t for you my wife wouldn’t have been able to get into the delivery room. Now my wife has given birth to a big fat boy!”
“So soon?” I had the feeling there hadn’t been a long delay.
Zhao Gongluan came over, “The woman was already ten fingers open in the birth canal when she was brought into the delivery room, plus she was in shock, so she went into labour very quickly, this matter is really thanks to you and Ye Debiao.”
Ye Debiao tiger head, this man honest, not to boast, hear Zhao Gongluan again in front of so many people praise him, red face pointed to me and said, “not I alone credit, I save people because of work, this little brother save people is the real righteousness.”
I originally did not think I was thin-skinned, but being praised by so many people left and right, I surprisingly also old face red, a little can not listen to.
Zhao Gongluan looked at me encouragingly and said to everyone, “Everyone, be quiet and listen to me for a few minutes. Look closely at this young man’s face, is it familiar? His name is Zhang Chao, you must remember him.”
I had no idea what Zhao Gongluan was up to, as I was very uncomfortable exposing myself in public.
“Zhang Chao, how familiar, isn’t this the guy who put Chen Yu Zhou in his place some time ago?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I remember. I even went online and read a lot of his posts, which said he could be lewd ……”
“I think what they say online is false, he’s quite nice.”
“And quite handsome, I need to take more pictures.”
……
Zhao Gongluan guffawed and continued, “Zhang Chao is my late friend’s son, compared to the many rumors we’ve all heard about him on the internet. In fact, I also love the Internet, and it pains me to see all those false statements on the Internet every day… they’re all false! But what can I do? I am just an ordinary old man, I really don’t know how to put in a good word for him on the internet. You don’t know, my nephew has had a hard life, he has lost his parents since he was a child. But he has been a soldier in the army for five years and has shed blood and sweat for his country. He is not the kind of person that the internet says he is, and his character has been seen by everyone today. I hope that if people go online, they can speak up more for my nephew.”
“Good! Zhang Chao, we definitely won’t believe those rumours from now on!”
“That’s right! We can all trust your character!”
“We support you to fight Chen Yu Zhou to the end!”
I had mixed feelings in my heart, although I didn’t need anyone’s support, but seeing so many people on my side, it was a lie to say I wasn’t moved.
With so many people supporting me, what am I afraid of Chen Yu Zhou?
But is this old fox, Zhao Gongluan, really purely trying to help me win a good reputation this time?
The last time I was tricked by Zhao Gongluan, I was a bit suspicious now, I always felt something was wrong.
I turned around to have a word with Zhao Gongluan, who knows, once I turned around, but found that Zhao Gongluan had quietly left when I wasn’t paying attention.
Zhao Gongluan went back to his office and told secretary Chi to close the door.
“Dean, I thought you would say a few more words to Xiao Zhang.”
“Hey, this kid is not a fool, he should have already seen the problem, sooner or later he’s going to find me to raise hell, until then, I won’t look for that trouble myself. All right, Xiao Chi you go out, if Xiao Zhang comes looking for me, just say I’m not in.”
“Okay ……”
As soon as Secretary Chi pushed open the door, he saw me standing outside the door smiling, so he had to awkwardly tug the corners of his mouth twice, trying to use a smile to hide his weakness.
“Okay, don’t think of any excuses, I heard everything you guys said inside, go out first, I’ll talk to Uncle Zhao for a few minutes.”
Ignoring Secretary Chi’s refusal, I pushed the door open and barged in, then pushed Secretary Chi out and locked the door behind me.
“Xiao Zhang, you can’t do this ……,” said Secretary Chi, desperately tapping on the door from outside.
“Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m going to beat him up.”
I turned back with a smile and saw that Zhao Gongluan had a raw look on his face and had to pose as an uncle, pretending to be calm and pointing to the sofa for me to sit down first.
“Uncle Zhao, I’ll speak plainly, what the hell is going on here?”
I sat down on the sofa with my butt in the air, and Zhao Gongluan cried and laughed.
“Uncle Zhao I ……”
“Uncle Zhao, you can not make up lies to deceive me, I have been a scout for five years, in the special forces, I have learned everything, if you lie to me, I will know.”
I picked up a tealight and played with it in my hand, people of Zhao Gongluan’s stature like that liked to have a tea set in their office, quite a pretence. I didn’t know if the tealight was expensive or not, but when I switched from left hand to right hand and tossed it around, Zhao Gongluan’s heartache was written all over his face.
I grabbed the teacup and shook it at him, and Zhao Gongluan laughed awkwardly, “It’s quite expensive, be careful.”
As soon as he finished speaking, my hand tightened and the celadon teacup shattered silently into powder in my hand.
“Uncle Zhao, I’m asking you a question.”
Zhao Gongluan was distressed and anxious, squirming and opening his mouth several times, wanting to scold me and not daring to scold me, wanting to feel sorry for the teacup but not daring to.
After a long time, he gave up and let out a cry: “Little Zhang, Uncle Zhao and you to be honest. Ever since Zichen got involved with the Red Light Society, I’ve been very scared and worried that something might happen to him. You don’t understand your brother, but he has a powerful mouth. I believe him when he says he can bite people with his mouth, but if he fights with the triads, I’m really afraid he won’t come back.
