After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Actually, you guys are pretty good too."

Lin Li smiled, walked over and helped Yuan Zhirun up, then helped the other three up in turn.

"It's just that we've taken different paths, so there's no comparison."

Yuan Zhirun looked at Lin Li, and the hostility in his eyes dissipated considerably. This was giving them four ways out.

"Let's go have a drink."

Lin Li waved his hand dismissively, "I'm hungry after a fight."

Half an hour later, at a night market barbecue stall.

Lin Li and his four companions sat around a greasy folding table, which was piled high with kebabs and beer.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Friendships between men can sometimes be very simple: a fight, a drink, and all grudges can be resolved.

"Lin Li, let me toast you."

Du Yu picked up his wine glass, his face beaming with generosity: "I apologize for offending you earlier, please don't take it to heart. I'm just a rough guy, I only admire those who can fight!"

"polite."

Lin Li clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.

Setting down his wine glass, Lin Li looked at Du Yu and the other two and asked, "I heard from Young Master Yuan that you've retired? What are your plans now?"

What plans could there be?

Du Yu sighed, a hint of melancholy on his face: "Going back to my hometown, then."

"We're used to being in the military. We don't know how to do anything except fight and kill. It would be too difficult for us to do anything else."

Gong Kun and Ban Hong also looked bitter.

It's not that the government won't provide them with resettlement, but there will inevitably be some psychological letdown.

Lin Li's heart skipped a beat, and he put down the meat skewers in his hand.

"Since you haven't decided where to go, why don't you stay and help me?"

The four of them were taken aback and looked at Lin Li.

"Help you?"

Du Yu asked疑惑地, "Does your company need security guards?"

They knew Lin Li had started a company, but the three of them were all roughnecks and not good at business negotiations; all they could do was work as security guards.

"Of course we don't lack it."

Lin Li smiled. "But I own a security company and I'm short-staffed. I'd like to hire the three of you as instructors to train my men."

He held up five fingers: "Monthly salary of eight... no, one hundred thousand, including room and board, and all five social insurances and one housing fund. Bonuses will be calculated separately if there are missions."

"Ten...hundred thousand?!"

Du Yu's eyes widened, and he even stammered a bit.

These days, a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan is definitely a high salary, let alone in a second-tier city like Jiangcheng.

"Lin Li, are you... are you serious?"

Yuan Zhirun was also somewhat surprised.

A monthly salary of 100,000 would mean an annual salary of one million, which is very difficult for retired special forces soldiers to earn.

"certainly."

Lin Li said seriously, "Your skills and experience are absolutely worth the price."

"My men have some skills, but compared to you, they're just a rabble. I want you to train them into a true elite."

Du Yu and the other two exchanged glances, and they could all see the excitement in each other's eyes.

They are not afraid of hardship or bloodshed, but they are afraid of becoming useless after retirement and being eliminated by society.

Lin Li not only gave them a high-paying job, but also a platform for them to continue to develop their talents.

"Boss!"

Du Yu suddenly stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said, "We'll take this job! From now on, you tell us where to go, and we'll do it!"

Gong Kun and Ban Hong also stood up to offer a toast.

Lin Li was surprised by their straightforwardness and smiled as he clinked glasses with them, saying, "Welcome to my company."

After a few rounds of drinks, Yuan Zhirun had drunk quite a bit, his face and neck were flushed.

He put his arm around Lin Li's shoulder and, emboldened by alcohol, deliberately asked, "Lin Li, we're friends now, so tell me the truth..."

"What?"

"Why...why can't you only be good to my sister?"

Yuan Zhirun hiccuped, his eyes slightly glazed, but his tone was serious: "Rongrong has lost her innocence because of you. Can't you... just leave her alone?"

The atmosphere at the table instantly quieted down, and Du Yu and the other two all looked at Lin Li.

Although they are now Lin Li's employees, they are also very curious about this issue.

Lin Li remained silent for a moment, then picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"Old Yuan, there are some things, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

He put down his wine glass, looked into Yuan Zhirun's eyes, and slowly said, "My constitution is very special, and the cultivation method I practice is extremely yang. If I don't find a woman to harmonize the yang fire in my body, there will be danger."

"But a woman simply can't withstand my yang energy. If I only stay with Rongrong, she will eventually run into problems too."

This sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, utterly absurd.

But when Yuan Zhirun saw Lin Li's serious expression and thought about Lin Li's terrifying skills and miraculous medical techniques, his doubts slowly disappeared.

"So... you're doing this to save your life?"

"It's also to become stronger."

Lin Li said frankly, "I have revenge to take and people to protect. If I'm not strong enough, not only will I die, but those around me will also die."

Yuan Zhirun remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"It sounds ridiculous, but I believe you."

He patted Lin Li on the shoulder and said with a wry smile, "It seems my sister is destined to be entangled with you for life."

"Lin Li, as Rongrong's brother, I have only one request."

"you say."

"Don't let her down. If one day you ever wrong her, even if I can't beat you in a fight, I'll still bite off a piece of your flesh!"

"rest assured."

Lin Li nodded solemnly, "She is my woman, and I will never let her get hurt."

……

The next morning, after Lin Li finished breakfast, he called Du Yu and the other two.

"Old Du, are you awake?"

"Boss, I've been awake for ages! We're already on our morning run!"

Du Yu's strong voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Alright, go directly to the Junlin Building and report to Lin Yuehua, the chairperson of Lin's Industrial Company. Just say that I sent you to be security instructors."

"Roger that! Mission accomplished!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li called Fang Yong again and asked him to go to Junlin Building as well.

When he arrived at the building, Fang Yong was already waiting there.

"Master!"

Lin Li smiled and nodded, but his gaze was fixed on the lobby on the first floor of the building.

A large group of people had gathered in the originally spacious and bright lobby, making a lot of noise. They were holding various documents and banners and blocking the elevator entrance, preventing people from entering or leaving.

Zhu Mei, the company's administrative manager, was sweating profusely as she and several security guards tried to maintain order.

"You can't do this! This is Lin's Industrial's office area; you're disturbing public order!"

"What do you mean by disturbing the peace? We're demanding justice!"

From the crowd, a middle-aged man with a beer belly shouted, "We signed the contract with Wang Sheng!"

"This is our office space! What right do you have to kick us out?"

"That's right! Wang Sheng ran away, and since your Lin's Industries took over this building, you have to take responsibility for us!"

"No amount of money will do! We want this land! If you don't let us work here, you can forget about starting construction!"
