Yang Ming immediately had a sour face and said, “Isn’t it the same with Zhiyun tutoring you? I’m too busy recently. How about this? Don’t you know my phone number? If I’m free, you can come to me. I’ll teach you something interesting.”

“Ah! Great!” Wu Zhongjie was delighted. This was exactly what he wanted. In fact, he didn’t need Yang Ming to teach him any homework. If it was for his academics, Lin Zhiyun was the same. He just wanted to follow Yang Ming and learn a lot of interesting things.

“What’s the matter with you fellows?” At this time, a traffic policeman saw that the road here was blocked, so he came over and inquired.

“We all know each other. We just had nothing to do and crashed into each other for fun.” Wu Zhongjie saw that Lin Zhiyun was an unlicensed driver, so he quickly explained.

“Huh? Crash into each other for fun?” The traffic policeman was stunned. He looked at the two cars in front of him dumbfounded as he thought to himself, These rich kids. They have a BMW and crash into Mercedes-Benz for fun when they have nothing to do. What are they thinking!?

However, since they already said that, the traffic police didn’t plan to meddle in it anymore. “Then, both of you drive the cars to the side. Don’t block the road. I will just treat it as if you both have settled it privately.”

Wu Zhongjie was afraid that Lin Zhiyun would reveal herself. He didn’t dare to stay too long. After saying a few words with Yang Ming, they got in the vehicles and left. This time, Ge Xinyao drove the car. Before Lin Zhiyun thoroughly learned it, she didn’t dare to drive on the road.

Yang Ming and his group came to the business street. After the car was parked, the four people walked on the streets. Those children who wanted to come up to sell flowers had all retreated once they saw Bi Hai’s appearance. This guy didn’t seem like a good person at first glance.

“Did anybody tell you that you look like a gangster boss? Do you usually dress this way?” Yang Ming looked at Bi Hai with a helpless smile.

Bi Hai smiled and said, “If I don’t do this, I can’t intimidate those little gangsters who find trouble in the community.”

“Forget it. Just do what you like. But in your position, it isn’t bad to look a bit ferocious.” Yang Ming said.

In a blink of an eye, they reached Xu Peng’s billiards hall. Yang Ming looked at the familiar brand and felt a little sad. At one time, he spent his high school period unwittingly here.

Throughout his high school period, except for the second half of the Grade 12, Yang Ming had been deprived at other times. Aside from skipping classes with Li Dagang to play billiards here, he would be sleeping in class or fighting with others.

“Let’s go and take a look. This place belongs to my buddy.” Yang Ming pointed to the billiards hall.

Bi Hai secretly remembered it in his heart. He planned to greet the local boss here on another day to take care of this place. Lin Zhiyun and Ge Xinyao spoke quietly. Where Yang Ming went, they followed.

“Old Xu, I’m here.” Yang Ming shouted inside as soon as he entered the door. However, the situation in front of his eyes gave him a surprise. He saw that four to five young men were purposely smashing the billiards tables there. Xu Peng stood by at the side like a good old man, carefully advocating these people, “Big brothers be patient. My girlfriend doesn’t know anything. Don’t put it in your heart…”

“Motherf*cker!” A man broke the billiard cue stick and slammed it on the floor as he shouted, “Doesn’t know anything? Didn’t I just stroke a little bit? She actually dared to slap me. D*mn, this thing won’t be just over like that.”

“I’m sorry… I apologize for her…” Xu Peng said quickly.

“Old Xu, what happened?” Yang Ming frowned as he watched the obedient Xu Peng. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Is this my follower from back in the past? In that year, we swept all the little punks. The Xu Peng right now is humble and pitiful.

“Yang… Brother Yang…” Xu Peng looked up and saw Yang Ming. He spoke somewhat unnaturally.

“F*ck you!” Bi Hai picked up the half of the billiard cue stick on the ground and slammed it toward the leading man. With a loud thump, the man immediately hung his head on the ground as his blood gushed out.

Bi Hai was worried that he didn’t have the opportunity to show his loyalty. As he just listened to Yang Ming, the boss of this billiards hall was Yang Ming’s friend. Now when he saw the boss being bullied, he immediately made a move without saying anything.

Bi Hai was a master of fighting. During this time, when he went to the security company, he accepted the training of Li Qiang’s group. His agility greatly improved. The man who got hit by the stick couldn’t stand up.

“How dare you cause trouble here? Don’t you want to live anymore?” Bi Hai retracted his hand and hit the man who was arrogant before but now shocked with a stick. Bi Hai’s attack deformed the person’s nose, making his face bloody as he squatted on the ground.

When Xu Peng watched Bi Hai beating up the others, his eyes lit up, but then it faded. He spoke to Yang Ming, “Brother Yang… Tell him not to beat them up. I can’t afford to offend these people…”

“Xu Peng, what’s wrong with you?” Yang Ming was surprised as he looked at Xu Peng, “I haven’t seen you for more than half a year. Why have you become so weak?”

Yang Ming really couldn’t connect Xu Peng at present with the Xu Peng in his impression.

“Brother Xu, what are you afraid of? In Song Jiang, there is no such person that Brother Yang cannot afford to offend!” Bi Hai listened to Xu Peng and explained quickly.

“You shut up first!” Yang Ming glared at Bi Hai. Bi Hai didn’t know what happened in the past. He thought that Xu Peng was so weak, but Yang Ming was skeptical. What happened to Xu Peng?

“You, who are you?” The two men who weren’t defeated noticed that Bi Hai was very brave. They didn’t dare to be careless but first explored his background.

“I am from the Ming Yang Security Company. My name is Bi Hai. If you have any opinions, please come to me at any time!” Bi Hai said indifferently.

“Ah…” The two men had a shift in their expression and looked at each other. They quickly lifted the two on the ground and ran away. They ran apologetically, “I’m sorry… Sorry… I didn’t recognize such a great character.”

“Xu Peng, you come with me.” Yang Ming pulled Xu Peng out of the billiards hall and into the BMW before asking, “Xu Peng, what happened to you? Those people are stirring up trouble. How can you just leave them be?”

“…” Xu Peng was speechless. He lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Xu Peng, what happened to you here?” asked Yang Ming.

“Brother Yang… We aren’t young. We can’t be as impulsive as before… These little punks, if I hit them, they will come back to me and look for trouble. With that, my business can’t be sustained…” Xu Peng sighed.

“Then you just let them make trouble? I haven’t seen you for more than half a year. Have you completely changed yourself?” Yang Ming said in doubt, “It’s not that no one dared to provoke you before.”

“Now, it isn’t like our time. Those little punks I knew aren’t around anymore. Now, these little punks don’t buy my face at all…” Xu Peng said sadly, “What’s more, I can’t offend these people…”

“What happened to your family?” Yang Ming frowned. “Xu Peng, do you still regard me as your boss? Can’t you just tell me if you have something?”

Xu Peng hesitated for a long time and finally told the truth of the matter. Last year, Xu Peng’s family introduced him to a girlfriend. The two had a great relationship. They planned to register for marriage after two years to satisfy the age requirement.

The girlfriend’s family offended a big local gangster. After Xu Peng learned about it, he went back and impulsively beat up the punk. The punk also guaranteed at the time that he would no longer look for trouble with his girlfriend’s family.

But who thought that when Xu Peng came back, the gangster brought people in the middle of the night to tarnish the grocery store opened by his girlfriend’s family and burnt it all in a fire.

The family suddenly lost their livelihood. Their lives became difficult. Xu Peng, because of his own mistakes, was incredibly guilty. He took up the livelihood burdens of his girlfriend’s parents and little brother.

Since then, Xu Peng had become cautious. He was afraid that with a little careless, his business would be done for, and then the family’s livelihood would immediately be in trouble.

Yang Ming couldn’t help but sigh. A person can change so thoroughly for a living.

“Then, do you plan to mingle like this for a lifetime? Do you want to live so cautiously?” Yang Ming looked at Xu Peng and asked.

“If not, what else can I do?” Xu Peng showed a helpless look. It was a bitter smile that only expressed the experience of the vicissitudes of life.

“Have you ever thought about continuing to follow me?” Yang Ming looked at Xu Peng and asked suddenly.

“Ah?” Xu Peng was stunned and said, “Brother Yang, aren’t you in college now?”

“You are right. I’m in university, but you also saw it just now, the expression on those little punks after they heard about the Ming Yang Company, right?” Yang Ming said, “Can you tell me what is going on?”

“Maybe the company is quite powerful…” Xu Peng’s eyes were filled with excitement, but it returned to its peaceful look as Xu Peng replied faintly.

“Yes, but if you mingle as such, your livelihood will probably be a problem. You’re bullied when you’re weak.” Yang Ming didn’t say much as he patted on Xu Peng’s shoulder. “You have my phone number, right? Think about it again. Once you make your decision, call me.”

Xu Peng didn’t talk but fell into contemplation. After a while, “Brother Yang, what are you doing now?”

“Hehe, what I do isn’t important. But you also saw it – the attitude of those little punks who were afraid of me. You should be able to understand that I’m not worse off than before.” Yang Ming smiled.

“Okay, I understand. I will think about it.” Xu Peng nodded.

Yang Ming didn’t say anything anymore. He got off with Xu Peng. He greeted Bi Hai and went out together from the billiards hall.

Yang Ming called Li Dagang and asked about Xu Peng. “Dagang, have you been to Xu Peng’s place recently?”

“I have been there. What happened?” Li Dagang was a little surprised that Yang Ming suddenly called to ask this.

“Then didn’t you realize Xu Peng wasn’t the same as before?” asked Yang Ming.

“Not the same?” Li Dagang paused and said, “From what you said, it seems that he is a bit different. His character seems to have become a little bit more amiable! But he is also a person with a girlfriend, reducing his previous temper is great.”

When Yang Ming heard Li Dagang’s words, he knew that Li Dagang didn’t know much. Yang Ming just hung up after a few words of chatter.
