Chapter 57 Brothers' Heart-to-Heart Talk
"Nobody in the club is stupid, I told you that a long time ago."

Wang Dao casually smoked a cigarette, gazing at the boundless night.

The sound of the waves and the salty sea breeze captivated him; he really liked the smell.

Chen Yongren, however, was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery and looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty:
"I'm an undercover agent sent by the police, and you don't even react?"

Wang Dao sighed:

“I did react; I checked your information.”

“It’s not just you, I’ve also investigated Afu and Brother Kun’s information.”

Chen Yongren was taken aback:
"You even investigated Master Ding's background?"

Wang Dao looked at him strangely:
"We're out here to make money."

"Whether the boss is good or bad naturally determines our potential."

"If you follow a spineless or cold-hearted boss, forget about making money, you might end up starving nine times out of three days."

"In more serious cases, they will become cannon fodder."

"Of course I'll investigate."

"What's so weird about this?"

Chen Yongren murmured:

"Is that so?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

Some say that in this world, the only people who will treat you wholeheartedly and ask for nothing in return are your parents.

"Whether they are my boss or my brothers, they are not my parents, so they can't be nice to me for no reason."

"Then I should investigate this thoroughly, shouldn't I?"

"At the very least, I need to know whether my boss and brothers are good people or not."

Chen Yongren looked at Wang Dao nervously, only to hear the other party say calmly,

"You're a good person."

"Even though he came from a poor background, he didn't do anything wrong and even went to take the exam for a police academy. At least morally, there was nothing wrong with him."

"What we scumbags fear most are those guys who will stop at nothing for money."

"Everyone has to have some aspirations, or at least some bottom line."

"Nobody dares to hang out with those guys who have no bottom line. They might just sell you out at any time."

Wang Dao exhaled a smoke ring and watched it dissipate into the night.
"Anyone who's been in this business should know the dangers involved."

"If you want to betray your friends or climb the ladder, you might encounter a life-or-death crisis at any time."

"If you're surrounded by unreliable people, you won't even know how you died, right?"

Chen Yongren nodded repeatedly.

Wang Dao looked at him and said:

"You've had a tough life. You clearly wanted to cut ties with Ni Kun completely, but you ended up getting dragged into it by others."

Chen Yongren's eyebrows twitched. This wasn't what he wanted; he just wanted to be a policeman.

But that bastard Huang Zhicheng discovered his background and forced him to become an undercover agent.

He hadn't thought much of it before, at least he could continue working as a policeman, but what Chen Guozhong said to him made him feel no goodwill towards Huang Zhicheng, only hatred.

"Your identity means you can't be a policeman."

"Huang Zhicheng is lying to you."

"Don't believe it."

Chen Yongren gritted his teeth and said:

"I know."

Wang Dao sighed:

"what you do not know."

Chen Yongren's pupils contracted:
"Boss, do you have any other news?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
Even if Huang Zhicheng didn't expose your identity, there are still others who know it.

Chen Yongren frowned and said:

"It should be gone, right?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Ni Kun!"

Chen Yongren's first reaction was that it was impossible:
“I have never seen Ni Kun since I was born, and he has never given my mother and me a single penny. He should not know my identity.”

Wang Dao shook his head:
"That guy is a scumbag."

“He certainly never gave you and your son a single penny, but your entire upbringing was under his watchful eye.”

what? !

Chen Yongren swayed, almost falling over. "This...this is impossible!"

Wang Dao shrugged:

“That’s the truth. Ni Kun made a will long ago. If he were to die suddenly or die one day, all members of the Ni family should know about him.”

Chen Yongren's pupils constrict slightly:
"Including me?"

Wang Dao nodded:
Yes, including you!

Chen Yongren suddenly burst into laughter, and Wang Dao inexplicably sensed a hint of resentment in his laughter.

“No wonder!”

"No wonder you said I couldn't be a cop. With this bastard around, if I stay in the police station, I'll be fired sooner or later."

Think about it, if Chen Yongren had stayed in the police station, even without Huang Zhicheng's affair, and had worked his way up for ten years, he would have become a senior inspector.

One day, someone came to his door and told him that his father had passed away.

Well, now everyone knows that Chen Yongren is Ni Kun's son.

What do his boss think of him? What do his colleagues think of him? What do his subordinates think of him?

Oh, so he's the son of drug kingpin Ni Kun?
The gossip at the police station can be suffocating!

Some might even suspect that his achievements over the years were all the result of the Ni family's behind-the-scenes efforts.

In the end, he will definitely be ruined and disgraced.

Then he was rudely kicked out of the police station.

Rather than doing this, it's better to withdraw early.

Wang Dao said calmly:
"Heroes come from all walks of life, and being a bad person isn't the only way to achieve your life goals."

Chen Yongren shook his head with a wry smile:
"To achieve one's life goals?"

"Boss, you're exaggerating."

Wang Dao laughed:

"Is not it?"

"We've come into this world, we should leave something behind, shouldn't we?"

"Am I just going to live my whole life in a daze?"

Chen Yongren gritted his teeth and said:

"But I'm still a police officer on the payroll."

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"who knows?"

Chen Yongren was taken aback:
"Isn't it Huang Zhicheng?"

Wang Dao sneered:
"Does he dare to admit it?"

Chen Yongren was completely bewildered:
"Why wouldn't you dare admit it?"

Wang Dao sighed:

“Ah Ren, you should study hard, or chat more with Brother Kun and Ah Fu, and learn some life experience.”

"There is black, white, and gray in this world."

"But they all have their own rules."

"In a triad, it's called rules; in a police station, it's called discipline."

"In society, that's called public order and good morals."

"In a country, that's called law."

"These things cannot be easily disobeyed; once disobeyed, one will pay the price."

"The rule of the police station is that officers with triad backgrounds are absolutely not allowed to exist."

“With your background, once it’s exposed, even the top cop can’t protect you from continuing to work as a cop, unless the rules of the police station are changed.”

"Huang Zhicheng is just a lowly inspector. What kind of ability does he have to keep you working as a policeman?"

Chen Yongren's expression changed drastically:
"Is Huang Zhicheng lying to me?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I am indeed lying to you."

Chen Yongren frowned and said:

“But I receive firewood and water every month.”

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"That's because he wanted to trick you into working for him, so naturally he wouldn't dare reveal your background."

“Silly boy, don’t you understand? As long as you’re still thinking about being a cop, you’ll never be able to escape his control.”

"Huang Zhicheng thinks he's got you cornered!"
