Chapter 63: The First Military Deal! (Part 2)

  Look at the collection, it's a bit bleak, barely over fifty. Buddhist disciples keep their promises, two updates today! Everyone give me some support!

  Du Haisheng smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind. If the price remains this low in the future, I'm afraid these military supplies will become cheaper than cabbage. I'm not a fool, there's no need for me to do favors for others for free. It's just that the Zhao family has helped me before, so I'll make an exception for them. As for others, humph, they'll have to pay at least several times more than this amount. Of course, Wang Yazuo's axe will also be taken care of appropriately."

  In the end, Du Haisheng deliberately mentioned Wang Yazhuo in front of Ma Yongzhen. Firstly, he wanted to let Ma Yongzhen know that he was not only considering himself but also a friend who considered his brothers thoroughly. Secondly, if they really went into the arms business in the future, Ma Yongzhen would definitely repay Wang Yazhuo's kindness, and Du Haisheng gave him an advance guarantee, making him understand what to do next.

  As expected, Du Haisheng's one sentence made Ma Yongzhen stand up with a "hiss", and he bowed his fist in gratitude: "With brother's words, it's enough, I, Ma Yongzhen, swear here that as long as brother needs me, I will definitely not refuse"

  Du Haisheng nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself that using people is also a kind of knowledge, and the final problem is still about being sincere, if you are sincere with others, they will naturally be open-hearted with you.

  The two men discussed some details again, and after careful consideration, they reached a point where the other party could not detect anything. Ma Yongzhen got up to leave when he was pulled back by Du Haisheng.

  Laughing, he said: "I'm telling you, brother, what's the hurry? It's broad daylight now, you won't be carrying seven or eight long guns to swagger around on the streets to Zhao's apartment, will you?"

  What a joke, if that's the case, it would be a sensation, I'm afraid before he even reaches Zhao's apartment, all the underworld in Shanghai will know about this big news of someone carrying 7 or 8 guns on his back and wandering around the streets.

  "Oh, me too!"

  Ma Yongzhen scratched his head, although he sometimes had meticulous thoughts and careful consideration, the impulsive momentum that came with being a Shandong big man from birth hadn't changed in the slightest.

  If there's one thing that can be said about Ma Yongzhen, it's that his martial arts skills are enough to make him proud of Shanghai, and his physical strength is also sufficient. In just a few short days, he was able to rise to the position of leader of the Axe Gang's An Da Tang, and he's definitely not someone with a simple mind or a foolhardy nature. He must have some understanding of how to handle himself in social situations, with careful thoughts and thorough consideration, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's mature and stable.

  As for his shortcomings, they are too obvious. Sometimes he will have a short-term impulse, and once a person is impulsive, all rationality and careful thinking will be thrown out the window. This may seem insignificant, but it can be fatal!

  Du Haisheng was well aware of Ma Yongzhen's weakness and also knew that it would be too difficult to thoroughly change this habit, after all, this is the unique temperament of a Shandong big man, not something that can be solved with just a few words. The historical Ma Yongzhen died under the sword of loneliness, impulsiveness, and being overly emotional and righteous, if not for these reasons, he would not have died at the hands of a group of mobs...

  Night falls, and Shanghai is once again immersed in a vast darkness. The revelry belongs only to those nightclubs and gangs, while ordinary people have long gone to sleep, tomorrow being another uncertain day for them. The bright lights and wine do not belong to them, nor does the opium; all they have are their dilapidated homes and beds that still hold some semblance of "family".

  The atmosphere inside the Zhao family apartment was extremely tense at this time. Zhao Tianming sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, with old housekeeper Wu Tianyun sitting beside him. Wang Chong and Zhao Wei'er hung their heads like defeated roosters.

  "What can I say? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

  Zhao Tianming's face turned iron-green as he swept a glance over the two of them, his anger not coming from one place, and he suddenly stood up, pointing at their noses and sternly questioning.

  "Du Haisheng, he has such great kung fu skills, why didn't you say so earlier? You waited until I drove him away before speaking up. Can we afford to provoke a master like him? You're all doing a great job, aren't you? One is my own biological daughter, and the other is my most trusted subordinate. Have you learned to turn against me?"

  Zhao Tianming was getting angrier by the minute, he couldn't help but want to go up and give each of them a big slap in the face, so they would remember it for a long time. How could they hide such an important thing from him? Wasn't that delaying things?

  Since Du Haisheng, Hong Hudie and the others left Zhao's apartment, Wang Chong and Zhao Wei have always thought that it was not a good idea to continue hiding like this. Moreover, since Du Haisheng has already left, there is no need to keep this secret any longer.

  Especially when Zhao Wei'er saw Fu Hong at school, she heard that Du Haisheng had settled down in her home, the whole formation suddenly became chaotic. Isn't this clearly delivering "her own" man into the hands of a romantic rival?

  After several days of consideration, the two finally consulted and decided not to hide this matter anymore. They told Zhao Tianming the truth about what had happened, but unexpectedly, he flew into a rage upon hearing it.

  How could this not make him angry, according to the two men's descriptions, Du Haisheng's abilities far surpassed Wang Chong's, although he didn't know what kind of skills that kid had, but he knew Wang Chong was someone who could get respect from Cold Face Killer, even if he was a bit arrogant, how arrogant could he be, and besides those two machine guns were captured by the other side.

  These two unlucky kids, Zhao Tianming had been blaming Zhao Wei and Wang Chong in his heart. The two were indeed a bit reckless, how could they keep such a secret hidden? Now that the Hu Ren Gang is in need of people, it's perfect timing, but instead they let one slip away for nothing, and what's more, he was right before their eyes! Now... even if they went to ask him to come back, they wouldn't dare to show their faces.

  Facing Zhao Tianming's stern rebuke, the two of them chose to remain silent. No matter how much he scolded, they wouldn't retort or speak back. Even Zhao Wei'er became very well-behaved at this time.

  Scolded and scolded, trained and trained, Zhao Tianming sat in a chair with a bitter smile, muttering to himself: "Surprise, you guys said surprise before, I didn't understand it then, but now thinking about it, it's really a big surprise, such a person has been lingering in front of me for so long, and I didn't see through him. It seems that my eyes are blind."

  He can't blame Zhao Wei'er and Wang Chong entirely for this matter, the two have warned him several times in secret, but he didn't listen, thinking that Du Haisheng was just a useless person, and insisted on driving him out of the Zhao family apartment. Now it's too late to regret, and deeply blaming himself is also pointless. Calming down, Zhao Tianming's mind quickly turned around.

  It's settled, what's most important now is to mend the relationship between the two parties. If it were someone like Wang Chong, he would rather not have any involvement. If there was a threat, it's entirely possible that Wang Chong could bring his brothers and kill the opponent outright. However, from Cold Face Killer's words earlier, the information revealed was already very clear - even if they launched a sneak attack, he still wouldn't be confident of being able to take out the opponent with one hit.

  This is what a powerful existence looks like, I'm afraid the whole of Shanghai can't find another one. Not wanting to create a strong enemy, there's no choice but to turn swords into jade silk.

  At this thought, Zhao Tianming looked at Zhao Wei'er who was standing there with an innocent and wronged face, and said: "Girl, your confinement will end tomorrow. Wang Chong, you also have nothing to do, follow her around for a few more days. Piao Hong that girl probably doesn't have much money, it's best if you go take a look."

  The two nodded in unison, and Zhao Tianming's intention was clear. How could Zhao Wei'er and Wang Chong not understand that this wasn't an obvious attempt to get them to approach Du Haisheng, build a relationship, and salvage the current awkward situation?

  Wang Chong felt that Zhao Tianming was being too forceful, but as the leader, he must have considered everything and Wang Chong could only obey.

  It was Zhao Wei who was overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to give her old dad a flying kiss. These past few days had been suffocating for her, watching Fu Hong step by step get closer to his goal while she herself had no way out. What made it even more frustrating for her was that Zhao Tianming had ordered Wang Chong to take her directly home after school, forbidding her from going out to find classmates, attending gatherings, or taking a single step outside. These three prohibitions had thoroughly bound her up, giving her a feeling of being driven mad.

  It's all right now, from now on I can openly go to Hong's home and see Du Haisheng every day. Hehe, if I had known this earlier, I would have told my dad to stay at his own home, how good that would be.

  The little girl thought of nothing but evil!

  Wu Guanjia remained silent from start to finish, thinking about one thing - whether that article was really written by Du Haisheng.

  At first, he thought Du Haisheng was just a literary youth, or even a hot-blooded youth, but today's words from Zhao Wei'er and Wang Chong made him feel that what was hidden behind Du Haisheng was not so simple.

  Mu Eleven, Mu Eleven, Wu Tianyun had been silently reciting this name in his heart all along. Suddenly, a bright light flashed before his eyes, and his mind was as clear as a mirror.

  I secretly blame myself, how can I be so stupid? I still call myself a great scholar, but I didn't even think of such a simple problem. Mu eleven, mu eleven, combined together, it's clearly the character "Du" from Du Haisheng.

  It turns out that the article was indeed written by this kid, it seems that I underestimated him before. The true strength hidden in this kid's mind is really terrifying.

  Now that it has come to this, Wu Tianyun can almost be certain that the article which caused a stir in all of Shanghai was definitely written by this unremarkable-looking guy.

  "Alright, let's just leave it at that for today. You two, if there's anything in the future, try to be more open with me. I know someone like Du Haisheng wouldn't deign to work under me as a mere thug - that would be beneath him. And I can also let him do his own thing. If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know? You can go now."

  Zhao Tianming calmed down, weakly waved his hand at the two of them, signaling them to retreat. In his heart, he secretly prayed that Du Haisheng was not a narrow-minded man.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Just then, a knock at the door came from outside, and everyone was stunned. It's so late, how can there be someone visiting?

  Everyone looked at each other in confusion for a moment. Just as Zhao Wei was about to go and open the door, Wang Chong stepped forward and blocked her way, walking past with a cautious expression.

  As a Shanghai-based gang, Hu Ren Bang can't avoid having some enemies. At this late hour, making Zhao Wei'er open the door is risky - what if it's an enemy coming to settle scores?

  Everyone watched as Wang Chong walked away step by step, their hearts all stuck in their throats...
