23 -23: The Brotherly Bond That Has Passed
Fang Kuohai got out of the car and walked into the bar with a lack of energy.
The brothers on the first floor saw Fang Kuohai coming back and hurried over.
“Boss Fang, you’re back.
Miss Fang is waiting upstairs,” one of them said.
“What?
What did you say?” Fang Kuohai grabbed the man’s arm.
The man didn’t know why Fang Kuohai was so anxious and then stuttered, “Miss Fang is waiting for you upstairs.”
“Rongrong is back?” Fang Kuohai said incredulously.
He couldn’t believe that Zhu Qingyuan would be so kind as to send Rongrong back.
“Where is she?” Fang Kuohai asked and without saying much else, he ran towards the second floor.
Shi Jian, following behind, also found it a bit strange and ran up too.
As Fang Kuohai and Shi Jian entered, they saw Xiang Yu bragging.
“Dad, you’ve arrived.
We were just waiting for you,” Fang Rong ran over as soon as she saw Fang Kuohai.
Fang Kuohai looked at his daughter in disbelief, “Child, you’ve been through a lot,” Fang Kuohai said and then hugged Fang Rong tightly.
Without this incident, he would never have known the pain of losing his daughter.
“Dad, here I am,” Fang Rong consoled, “It was Xiang Yu who saved me and brought me back.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Kuohai finally released Fang Rong, and by then, Xiang Yu was already standing next to him.
“Boss Fang, I’m really sorry for not protecting Miss Fang well enough and letting her suffer,” Xiang Yu said with a face full of guilt, no longer boasting as he had been.
“Xiang, don’t say that; we owe you a lot this time.
Come, tell me what happened,” Fang Kuohai said, pulling Xiang Yu to sit with him on the sofa.
Xiang Yu couldn’t start bragging to Fang Kuohai, as he had just been bragging to his brothers.
He looked up at the others and coughed, “You guys go ahead and leave; I’ve already told you once, it’s not interesting if you listen again.”
The others understood what Xiang Yu meant, then chuckled and went downstairs.
After they left, Xiang Yu recounted the whole incident.
Fang Kuohai nodded in approval and said, “Xiang Yu, we owe you a lot this time.
If not for you, Rongrong might not have made it back,” Fang Kuohai remarked.
“Don’t mention it, Boss Fang, protecting Rongrong is part of my job,” Xiang Yu said and chuckled, making a face at Fang Rong.
“That’s great, now that Zhu Qingyuan knows Miss Fang has come back, he must be furious,” Shi Jian said joyfully: “Xiang Yu, I did not expect you to be quite capable.”
“Need I say more?” Xiang Yu said proudly.
“Then how did your head get injured?” Shi Jian teased. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“My head?
Oh, I accidentally slipped on a banana peel,” Xiang Yu said.
“No serious injuries, I hope?” Fang Kuohai asked with concern.
“It’s nothing serious,” Xiang Yu said nonchalantly.
“Dad, I have something to tell you,” Fang Rong said, pouting at Xiang Yu, “This guy wants to betray you, be careful.
He said he wanted to go with that big villain Zhu Qingyuan, don’t trust him too easily.”
“Oh?
Really?” Fang Kuohai feigned surprise.
He naturally wouldn’t believe what Fang Rong said; if Xiang Yu had planned to align with Zhu Qingyuan, he wouldn’t have brought Fang Rong back.
“Hmm, you should watch him; he doesn’t seem like a good person,” Fang Rong said.
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard Fang Rong say this, except Xiang Yu, who had a stern face.
“Look, Miss, I risked my life to rescue you, and you still say such things, it really breaks my heart, my little heart is chilled,” Xiang Yu said, covering his chest in mock pain.
“Hmph!
No one believes you,” Fang Rong said as she sat down on a nearby sofa.
“Rongrong, go back to your room.
I need to discuss something with them,” Fang Kuohai said with a smile.
Fang Rong nodded, then stood up and walked back to her room, not wanting to be involved in these matters.
“What do you make of this?” Fang Kuohai, seeing Fang Rong leave the room, instantly lost his smile, leaving no trace of it on his face.
“This time Zhu Qingyuan didn’t succeed, but he will surely take further steps.
We must be careful and wary of them,” Shi Jian said, having been in the circle long enough to understand Zhu Qingyuan’s temperament.
“Xiang Yu, what do you think?” Fang Kuohai asked.
Although Xiang Yu had only recently joined, Fang Kuohai always felt there was more to this young man.
“Since they have already taken action against us, we have no intention of backing down.
My suggestion is to strike first,” Xiang Yu stated decisively, his eyes gleaming with intensity, showing none of his usual carefree demeanor.
“I agree with Xiang Yu’s idea, since he wants to take down our bar, why not take over his logistics company?” Shi Jian looked expectantly at Fang Kuohai.
Fang Kuohai sighed and leaned back on the sofa, saying, “It’s hard to believe that after all these years as brothers, we’ve ended up like this.”
“Boss Fang, this is all his own doing; you shouldn’t take it to heart.
We’ve been avoiding conflict for years, but what has that led to?
They not only remain ungrateful but think we are weak and intensify their tactics,” Shi Jian said indignantly.
“They cannot bear me, but I cannot stop being righteous.
After all, we’ve sworn allegiance and shared the Blood Wine,” Fang Kuohai said, his eyes dim with sorrow.
Xiang Yu sat quietly, not saying much, revealing that Fang Kuohai really did not want to take this step.
There were still people in this path who valued loyalty and righteousness.
“Let me think about it,” Fang Kuohai said before closing his eyes and laying back on the sofa.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu exchanged a glance with Shi Jian and then withdrew.
“Boss Fang is too kind; that bastard Zhu Qingyuan has bullied his way to our doorstep,” Shi Jian said through clenched teeth.
Xiang Yu whistled nonchalantly and then went to the bar on the first floor.
“Tingting, get me a beer,” Xiang Yu said.
Seeing Xiang Yu return, Lan Tingting smiled and asked, “How is being a bodyguard?
Is it going well?” Lan Tingting, merely a waitress here, could not possibly be aware of the events that had transpired.
“It’s okay, Tingting.
I haven’t seen you all day; you’ve gotten even more beautiful,” Xiang Yu said with a chuckle.
Lan Tingting rolled her eyes at him, “Why aren’t you wearing your new clothes?
You should throw away that rag you’re wearing.”
“This outfit is comfortable,” Xiang Yu said as he drank his beer.
“What time do you think it is, and you still have the mood to drink here?” Shi Jian sat down next to Xiang Yu, his face filled with worry.
Seeing the two seemed to have something to discuss, Lan Tingting quickly walked away.
“What time?” Xiang Yu said, looking confused, “Is it the end of the world or something?”
“What time?
Other people are shitting on our necks, and you can swallow that pride?
I can’t,” Shi Jian said, standing up furiously, ready to leave.
“Stop!” Xiang Yu saw Shi Jian like this and chuckled.
