Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

"Your eating manners are truly...unrestrained." Chen Ruian put down his chopsticks.

After staring at Chen Yi for a while, he sighed and said, "If I didn't know you were my nephew, I would also think that the dock gang leader in the newspaper was you."

Chen Ruian had also seen the above report in the newspaper, which showed Chen Yi smoking a cigar and his underling handing him a gun, and Chen Yi's face was captured in the photo.

Aside from the different aura of a big shot, his arrogant demeanor was also different.

In other respects, he looks exactly like his nephew.

Later on, more and more news came from the dock gang, and the commotion grew louder and louder.

Chen Ruian's worries grew even more.

Chen Yi was not very educated.

Based on his understanding of his nephew, he hadn't shown much ability during his childhood and adolescence.

Why would the dock gang take a liking to him?

Furthermore, Chen Yi and the dock gang leader look almost identical.

Then the answer is obvious.

The leader of the dock gang used his nephew as a stand-in.

These forces all like to have body doubles, so that if they encounter assassination or other problems, they can escape easily.

The conflict between the dockworkers and the governor's office is now escalating, and dozens of police officers have died.

Although in the eyes of the local people and workers at the docks, the dock gang was powerful enough to defeat the police.

But only those in the concessions understood that the Governor's Office hadn't really taken any real action.

The imperial court can't beat the foreigners, but it can easily crush a gang like yours.

"These dockworkers are in a precarious position right now. I don't think they're safe at all. Let's go to the foreign concession with Uncle."

Chen Ruian sighed, "That Boss Chen probably only sees you as a substitute. If the Governor's Office really takes action, they might use you as a scapegoat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was about to refuse, indicating that he did not intend to go to the foreign concession.

Then Chen Ruian changed the subject: "In my Chen family, you are the only son. We are counting on you to carry on the family line. I'm not saying you can't work hard, but you should get married first."

Chen Yi's lips twitched.

This must be your real purpose for coming here.

He had never thought about getting married.

After all, with his proficiency panel and martial arts skills, he can likely go very far and live a long time.

His descendants will never outlive him; it will only add to their sorrow.

Moreover, with the current turbulent situation, getting married and having children would only create more weaknesses and make one more hesitant in everything one does.

Therefore, he had absolutely no such intention.

"Uncle, with my current perspective, I don't have the time to do those things."

Besides, as for only children, Auntie is here, so we can just have one. Or, Uncle, you…”

Chen Yi's gaze gradually descended, a strange expression on his face.

Although it wasn't said explicitly, anyone could understand the implication.

Uncle, you're not incapable, are you?

Chen Ruian glared at him and said, "You brat, how can you talk to your uncle like that? I'm perfectly fine."

Chen Yi said, "Then that's settled. Uncle, you can have one yourself, and Aunt can bring the child and marry you. She looks like she'll be able to bear children easily."

Chen Ruian sighed, "Your aunt doesn't want to have any more children. She feels that having your sister Rou is enough, and I don't want to force her."

This time it was Chen Yi's turn to glare: "Uncle, you're taking care of a child but don't want to have children of your own. Does that mean you're eating your food, living in your house, and raising someone else's child? Did she save your life in her past life?"

My uncle is a really good person.

However, what he did was something Chen Yi couldn't understand.

Even in Chen Yi's eyes, a green, hard object seemed to appear on his uncle's back.

It was a tortoise shell.

Chen Ruian sighed, "When I first came to Tianhai, I was penniless and almost starved to death on the street after not eating for several days. She gave me food and copper coins to find a place to stay. From then on, I vowed that I would never let her down in this life."

"You don't need to persuade me. Everyone in the Chen family has their own principles. If you want to join a gang at the docks, I won't force you to leave. I'll just tell you to be careful."

"But you have to carry on the family line, we can't let the Chen family line die out with you."

Chen Yi said, "How could it have broken here? It clearly broke here with you, Uncle. I'm not taking the blame for this."

Chen Ruian's eyes widened: "You really won't marry me?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "Absolutely not."

"Then you'll come back to the concession with me. There's too much fighting and killing around here at the docks. Bullets don't have eyes, and I'm afraid you'll be dead out there one day," Chen Ruian said.

"Uncle, do you have a wife and daughter? Can I stay at your house?" Chen Yi joked.

"Hmph, that's my house after all. If I insist you live there, they can't stop me," Chen Ruian said defiantly.

Chen Yi shook his head.

This uncle is trying to act tough with him, but he'll definitely show his true colors as a turtle when we get there.

"Sigh, it seems there are some things I can no longer pretend to do."

Chen Yi stood up, walked outside the noodle shop, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky.

Youyou said, "To be honest, I am the boss of the dock gang. I am Master Yi."

Chen Ruian was taken aback for a moment, then said with concern, "Nephew, it's all your fault for pushing me too hard. Since you don't want to marry me, we can take it slow."

Chen Yi turned around, speechless.

Do you think I've lost my mind?

He went outside, took a portable flare out of his pocket, and pulled the pin.

A ball of earthy yellow light rose into the air and exploded in mid-air.

This is the support ammunition that the dock gang has just started using, in case of emergencies, such as the arrival of the police.

They then launched themselves into the air and shook off the people.

In the absence of communication equipment, this is the fastest way to communicate, after all, the dock gang's influence is concentrated in the dock area.

Once the signal is transmitted, everyone can see it.

soon.

From all directions of the street, gang members came running, each carrying an axe.

When guns were scarce, most of the gang members used axes as their weapons.

So much so that privately, some people even called the dock gang the Axe Gang.

They charged forward menacingly, but upon seeing Chen Yi, their expressions immediately turned respectful.

He opened his mouth as if to shout.

Chen Yi waved his hand to stop them: "Tell the people behind me that I'm going to inspect the gang members. Everyone stand in line."

The dock gang members quickly relayed Chen Yi's request.

They stood in front of the noodle shop one by one.

The signal flare was used for the first time, and all the members of the dock gang came.

Several thousand people stood in a dark mass on the dock streets.

Qin Tianqi and the others also rushed over: "What happened?"

After they entered, Chen Yi said, "Let my uncle know who I am."

Qin Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that it wasn't someone from the Governor's Mansion calling.

If they attack the next day, it will probably be the Governor-General's regular troops.

"Master Yi, next time you have something like this, please let me know in advance," Qin Tianqi said helplessly.

"My uncle's arrival was sudden, and it's only this once. Could you help me make arrangements?" Chen Yi said.

Qin Tianqi nodded, walked up to the gang members, and whispered something to the middle-level leader.
