"I...I usually take the shuttle bus!" Zhu Wanfang said softly.
"There shouldn't be any shuttle buses running now, right? How are you planning to get back?" Jiang Lai asked casually.
"I don't know either!" Zhu Wanfang didn't expect this to happen either, because Jiang Lai caused her to miss today's bus.
Jiang Lai looked at this girl and had an indescribable feeling. He had been in Mong Kok for so long and had seen many beautiful women on Portland Street, but none of them had given him the feeling of being pure and untainted by the mud that Zhu Wanfang had.
Zhu Wanfang now resembles a peach blossom about to bloom, delicate and radiant. In particular, her large eyes and smile bring Jiang Lai comfort and tranquility.
"Why don't we go to my place first?" Jiang Lai couldn't help but say.
"Go to your place?" Zhu Wanfang's eyes widened slightly in surprise upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, and she spoke with a hint of wariness.
"Don't overthink it. You have nowhere to go, right? I have a spare room. You can stay at my place for the night!" Jiang Lai slapped his forehead and explained.
"But...but I don't know your name yet!" Zhu Wanfang looked at Jiang Lai after hearing this. He seemed kind and handsome, so she said shyly.
"My name is Jiang Lai!" Jiang Lai smiled slightly and then said.
"Jiang...lai?" Zhu Wanfang murmured softly after hearing this.
"Let's go!" Jiang Lai tilted his head, looked at Zhu Wanfang, and gestured.
Zhu Wanfang lowered her head shyly and nodded apologetically.
Jiang Lai smiled slightly.
He left the Causeway Bay bar with Zhu Wanfang.
Stepping into Jiang Lai's home, Zhu Wanfang looked around with some curiosity, slightly surprised by the clean and tidy environment of Jiang Lai's home.
Jiang Lai noticed her expression and explained with a smile, "I've always lived here alone. The old lady next door comes over to help me clean when she has time!"
Walking through the living room, Jiang Lai pointed to a bedroom and said, "This is your room!"
Zhu Wanfang pushed open the door and saw that the room was decorated in a warm and comfortable manner, with clean white sheets on the bed and a wardrobe and desk.
"This place is so nice, thank you, Jiang Lai!" Zhu Wanfang's family was relatively poor, and the environment she had lived in before was not as good as Jiang Lai's place, so she thanked Jiang Lai with great satisfaction.
"I'm glad you're satisfied," Jiang Lai replied with a smile, then added, "Get some rest!"
Zhu Wanfang touched the blanket on the bed and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Everything that had happened today seemed unbelievable to her.
Jiang Lai closed the door behind him. He was in a good mood today, and unconsciously hummed a song: "There's a girl in the village named Xiao Fang, beautiful and kind, with a pair of mesmerizing big eyes, and long, long braids..."
Although there was a door between them, Zhu Wanfang still heard Jiang Lai humming a song, and her cheeks flushed after hearing it.
Does he like girls with braids? Zhu Wanfang wondered to herself.
Having taken over Liang Kun's territory, Jiang Lai slept soundly that night, but Xiao Fang next door was preoccupied and couldn't sleep a wink.
The next morning, after having morning tea with Zhu Wanfang, Jiang Lai went to Thirteen Sister's place.
"Sister Mei!" Jiang Lai greeted upon seeing Thirteen Sister.
"Well done, Jiang!" Thirteen Sister knew about last night's battle and was very happy. Then, seeing Zhu Wanfang behind Jiang Lai, she asked with some surprise, "Who is this girl?"
In Thirteen Sister's memory, Jiang Lai had never brought a girl with him before, so she asked Zhu Wanfang, who was following behind Jiang Lai, with some curiosity.
"Oh, her name is Zhu Wanfang, Xiaofang!" Jiang Lai didn't explain further, he just answered.
Upon hearing this, Thirteenth Sister seemed thoughtful, a slight smile playing on her lips. She patted Jiang Lai's shoulder and said, "You have good taste, Jiang!"
Jiang Lai's lips twitched slightly.
Then Thirteen Sister carefully examined Zhu Wanfang and found that she was indeed a beauty.
Seeing Thirteen Sister's eyes staring straight at her, Zhu Wanfang lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright, let's go inside and talk!" Thirteen Sister beckoned to Jiang Lai, then looked at the reserved Zhu Wanfang beside her, smiled, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sister, please sit down for a while!"
Zhu Wanfang nodded shyly and sat down somewhat awkwardly.
"Jiang, now that you've taken over Liang Kun's territory, what are your plans?" Thirteen Sister asked Jiang Lai after entering the room.
"When will Mr. Jiang be back?" Jiang Lai didn't answer Thirteen Sister's question, but asked in return.
"I'm not sure!" Thirteen Sister didn't know much about Jiang Tiansheng's schedule either.
"What if he doesn't come back?" Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes and asked pointedly.
Chapter 53 Harvest and Compensation
After hearing Jiang Lai's words.
Thirteen Sister was startled. She guessed what Jiang Lai was planning to do and said cautiously, "Jiang, don't do anything rash."
Then he whispered to Jiang, "Even if we kill Jiang Tiansheng now, the position of leader will not be ours."
Thirteen Sister knew that although she had a good relationship with the various bigwigs of Hung Hing, it was impossible for her to become the leader with her current qualifications, so now was not the time.
After hearing this, Jiang Lai thought for a moment and nodded.
"Sister, I'd like you to recommend Haonan for the location of Ciyun Temple Mountain!" Jiang Lai said to Thirteen Sister.
"Chen Haonan?" Thirteen Sister looked at Jiang Lai with slight confusion.
"Yes, Haonan is one of us now!" Jiang Lai nodded and gave Thirteen Sister a reassuring look.
After saying that, Jiang Lai continued, "As for Causeway Bay, now that Liang Kun is no longer a member of Hung Hing, I can plant my flag there, and no one can say anything about it!"
"Okay!" Thirteen Sister nodded after hearing this.
"By the way, your security company is opening the day after tomorrow, right?" Thirteen Sister asked Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai mentally calculated that the day after tomorrow was indeed the opening date of the security company he had arranged. He had been too busy lately, and he had almost forgotten about it if Thirteen Sister hadn't mentioned it.
"Yes, Sister, I almost forgot myself if you hadn't reminded me!" Jiang Lai said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, kid, I've got some big shots on my side. They'll definitely make sure your storefront is up to standard on opening day!" Thirteen Sister smiled and said confidently to Jiang.
"Thanks, Sister Mei!" Jiang Lai said, somewhat touched.
Jiang Lai felt that there were too many things going on lately. After leaving Thirteen Sister's place, he took Zhu Wanfang back to the brothel on Tongcai Street.
Inside Jiang Lai's office.
“Ah Lai, we dragged a safe back from Liang Kun’s drug factory!” Abu said to Jiang.
"Safe? Is it open?" Jiang Lai asked, somewhat puzzled.
Abu nodded, then continued, "There's about 20 million in cash inside, along with a handgun, some documents, and a ledger of drug transactions!"
"Another twenty million in cash, Liang Kun really is a money-giving boy!" Jiang Lai wasn't particularly interested in documents and ledgers, but upon hearing that it was another twenty million in cash, he couldn't help but remark with some emotion.
"How are the casualties among our brothers this time? Have you tallied them up yet?" Jiang Lai continued to ask.
Upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, Li Hua said, "Mr. Jiang, we have lost three brothers this time!"
"Yes!" Jiang Lai nodded heavily. He knew that Li Hua was referring to his suit-wearing thugs. Hearing that three people had been killed in this operation, Jiang Lai felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
The suit-clad thugs provided by the system are all capable of taking on ten opponents if they don't use guns. Jiang Lai would be heartbroken if he lost even one of them.
"Hao Nan, what about your side?" Jiang Lai turned around and continued to ask Chen Hao Nan, referring to the casualties of everyone except Li Hua and the others.
“Five brothers are dead, and more than thirty others are seriously injured!” Chan Ho-nam said with mixed feelings.
Jiang Lai took a deep breath, pursed his lips, nodded somewhat heavily, and then said:
"The brothers who sacrificed their lives will each receive a compensation of 300,000 yuan. The brothers who were seriously wounded will each receive an additional 200,000 yuan after their medical expenses are arranged. The brothers who participated in the battle will each receive 20,000 yuan, and Blue Lantern will receive 2,000 yuan. If any of them were injured, they will receive even more!"
Jiang Lai made arrangements for the compensation of those who participated in the battle.
"Ah Lai, isn't this a bit too much?" Chen Haonan asked, somewhat surprised, after hearing Jiang Lai's arrangement.
If Jiang Lai were to give the money like this, it would amount to at least ten million. Normally, something like Blue Lantern would only cost two or three hundred, so Jiang Lai increased it by a full tenfold.
"Go and do it. I'll have Wang Ying give you the money, no matter how much it costs!" Jiang Lai gave the order without explaining.
Jiang Lai loves money, but he is not stingy with his brothers who follow him.
Seeing Jiang Lai's attitude, Chen Haonan didn't say anything more, but just nodded heavily.
"Dongdong, Awei!" Jiang Lai called out to the two of them.
"Boss!" Dongdong responded.
"Boss!" Awei responded.
“Now that we’ve taken over Causeway Bay, we’re a bit short-handed. You two need to recruit a few more people. You two can go to Causeway Bay for now. Contact me anytime if anything happens!” Jiang Lai said to Dongdong and Awei.
“Yes, boss!” Dongdong and Awei replied in unison.
After arranging everything, Jiang Lai finally let out a heavy sigh of relief. Being the boss wasn't an easy thing.
After resting for a while, Jiang Lai left the office and looked at Zhu Wanfang, who was sitting obediently on the sofa. She was still a little reserved in this unfamiliar environment.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go!" Jiang Lai walked up to Zhu Wanfang, gently patted the back of her head, and said softly.
"Huh?" Zhu Wanfang was lost in thought and only came to her senses when she heard Jiang Lai's voice.
"Where...where are you going again?" She asked instinctively, having followed Jiang around since she woke up this morning.
"I'll take you home. You're not going to school tomorrow?" Jiang Lai smiled and said casually.
Zhu Wanfang is still studying at Southeast Middle School and only works part-time on weekends.
"Oh!" Zhu Wanfang replied softly, her head lowered.
Seeing this, Jiang Lai smiled, turned around and walked out, with Zhu Wanfang following behind him like a little tail.
Jiang Lai walked to the door, then suddenly remembered something and said to Zhu Wanfang, "Wait for me."
Zhu Wanfang didn't know what Jiang Lai was going to do, so she stood at the door and waited.
Jiang Lai didn't go far. Instead, he went into the garage, drove out his Porsche 959, and the black body resembled a traveler in the night, while the roaring engine sounded like a demon's howl, exuding both nobility and luxury.
"Get in the car!" Jiang Lai rolled down the window, tilted his head, and looked at Zhu Wanfang.
Zhu Wanfang stared wide-eyed at Jiang Lai in the car in disbelief, then pointed to herself and the car with her hand.
Jiang Lai nodded to her, indicating that she should get in the car.
After regaining her senses, Zhu Wanfang tiptoed into the car. It was her first time riding in such a sports car, and she looked around curiously!
Following Zhu Wanfang's directions, Jiang Lai drove through the bustling streets and arrived at an old tenement building in Kowloon. Then, he turned left and right and entered a small alley.
