Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Only Younger Brother

  "So it is, the exam is the day after tomorrow, there are still two days left, looks like I need to hurry up."

  Ye Bai suddenly remembered that it was already late August. He waved his hand at Feng Yong and said, "You go back first, I'm going to start studying."

  "Brother Bai, little brother has something... and I was wondering if you could help me out." Feng Yong said with a flattering smile, scratching his head.

  "What's wrong?" Ye Bai asked.

  "Last time we beat up Wang Jia's Wang Jin, he has been holding a grudge against me, and is now looking for people to harass our business, and even plans to encroach on our territory. I just took over this place, and my manpower is limited, so..." Feng Yong said with some embarrassment.

  "So you're asking me to lend a hand? Ye Bai waved his hand uninterestingly and said, "You also saw that I still have to study, no time to bother with these small matters. Aren't you under the management of Old Master Long? Just ask Master Long for help."

  "I went to look for Dragon Lord, but I didn't see him even after going several times. I think the Wang family must have put pressure on Dragon Lord, and he's probably given up on us."

  Feng Yong said gloomily: "The other party asked us to meet at the 'Bat Bar' tonight, wanting to discuss the division of territory with us. Dragon Lord refused to show up and help, nor did he send anyone. I've just taken over this area and am far inferior to the other party on WeChat, so I'd like to invite a master to preside over the scene."

  "Really?" Ye Bai hesitated for a moment, and just then Hao Shuai walked in from the courtyard. He pointed at Hao Shuai and said, "This is my newly recruited younger brother, also my only younger brother now. I'm busy, so let him go instead."

  "Huh?"

  Feng Yong and Hao Shuai were stunned at the same time.

  "Hey Bai Ge, isn't this a bit...?" Feng Yong suddenly realized something and changed his tone, "Although Xiao Shuai is your only younger brother, he still doesn't have any reputation on the path."

  Hearing Ye Bai confirm his identity as his only younger brother, Hao Shuai became extremely excited, with blood rushing to his head. Overly excited, he interrupted and said: "Yong Ge, are you looking down on White Brother's only younger brother?"

  "What? Of course not, how dare I?" Feng Yong immediately made a bitter face and fawned on him, "Brother, just call me Yongzi from now on."

  Feng Yong was also depressed, he clearly knew and fawned on Ye Bai first, so why didn't he become Ye Bai's younger brother?

  Feng Yong couldn't help but feel that Hao Shuai was very lucky.

  Hao Shuai felt that he had stood up for himself yesterday, although he was fired, it was worth it.

  It was because of Hao Shuai's injury for Tang Lulu that he showed great courage at the critical moment, and Ye Bai finally fulfilled his long-held wish to be his younger brother.

  "You haven't seen much of the world, so you need to be tempered. This time, let Hao Shuai go. You just tell them that Hao Shuai is my only younger brother, Ye Bai. If they don't give us face, I'll go myself." Ye Bai said casually.

  "Alright."

  Feng Yong nodded silently, he knew clearly that Hao Shuai had gone and it was useless, but Ye Bai didn't want to go, so he couldn't do anything.

  At least there was a personal representative, Ye Bai went... Feng Yong comforted himself like this.

  "Brother Bai, I'm leaving first."

  Feng Yong said goodbye and left.

  "Big brother, can I really go?"

  After a brief excitement, Hao Shuai finally regained his composure. He had become Ye Bai's younger brother, and the only one at that, but this didn't necessarily mean he himself had become much stronger. Moreover, he wasn't very familiar with the ways of the underworld, and on top of that, the other side was backed by the Wang family, one of the four major families.

  "You can't even handle such a small matter, how can I let you be my underling in the future?"

  Ye Bai looked at Hao Shuai and said, "You are my younger brother, you are far superior to those thugs and rascals. Even Wang Wei and Wang Jin from the Wang family are not as good as you. You don't need to be afraid of them, but instead, you should have the confidence to make them fear you."

  "What if they resort to violence during negotiations?" Hao Shuai asked calmly.

  "Then take out the courage you had last night and fight them, don't worry, if they cripple or kill you, I'll avenge you and make all of them accompany you in death." Ye Bai said casually.

  This sentence scared the originally unconfident Hao Shuai, he couldn't help but complain in his heart... Everyone is dead, what's the point of avenging?

  "Brother Ye Bai." Tang Lulu finally spoke up, advising, "Yesterday night, General Hao saved me, so he's also my benefactor. My benefactor is your benefactor too, you can't let our benefactor go on an adventure so casually, we haven't even repaid him yet."

  Hao Shuai cast a deeply grateful glance at Tang Lulu.

  "It's precisely because I'm repaying him that I've taken him as a younger brother."

  Yè Bái first responded to Táng Lòu with a sentence, then thought for a moment before saying to Hǎo Shuài: "Alright, if I have time tonight, I'll accompany you on a trip."

  Hao Shuai finally let out a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted a great amnesty.

  Because the exam is in two days, Ye Bai spent the whole day studying at Tang Lulu's house. By dusk, he returned home, but before leaving, he told Hao Shuai that he would go back and take a look first, and if everything was fine, he would head to the night market stalls at Xiangzi Mouth.

  What surprised Ye Bai was that many guests came to the house, old and young, male and female, they almost filled the living room.

  "What's going on?"

  After entering the living room, Ye Bai asked in confusion.

  "It was all brought by Yu Xin sister, saying it's for you."

  Long Hao Ran saw Ye Bai come back and finally let out a breath of relief. He welcomed him with a sentence before hiding in his own room.

  "Looking for me?" Ye Bai frowned.

  "Ah, I was looking for you."

  Yao Yuxin walked over from the crowd and continued, "Most of these people were released from the underground room of the Shadow Charm Bar. They are relatives of our organization's C group, while another part of them are assassins of our C group."

  "What do you want from me?" Ye Bai was still very puzzled.

  "First of all, everyone is here to thank you, it's not that you lent a hand, or else we wouldn't have gotten our freedom."

  "Secondly, after these people escape, the organization will definitely retaliate. Even if we can hide, we can't hide forever. Sooner or later, we'll be killed by the high-ranking members sent by the organization. That's why everyone hopes to find an absolutely safe haven."

  "You're not taking this place as a shelter, are you?" Ye Bai asked in surprise.

  "We took you as a safe haven, and now only you have enough strength to protect these people." Yao Yuxin said.

  "Ah?" Ye Bai looked around at the people in the living room, his brow furrowing even more tightly. He said to Yao Yuxin, "I'll only protect you, of course... and your little brother."

  "If you don't protect them, I'll take my brother and flee with them too." Yao Yuxin said calmly.

  "Are you threatening me?" Ye Bai's face was filled with resentment. "You know, I hate it the most when people threaten me!"

  Ye Bai originally wanted to spank Yao Yuexin's butt, but thinking that it was Yao Yuexin who had turned him into a real man last night, he couldn't bear to do so.

  "Actually, this is also beneficial for you."

  "As long as you can provide protection for these people, everyone in our group will be at your service, listen to your command and do things for you, even if it means going through thick and thin."

  "I don't need anyone to do things for me, I can handle everything by myself." Ye Bai said confidently.

  "But after all, you are just one person, and no matter how strong a person is, their energy is limited."

  Yao Yuxin shook her head and advised, "As the saying goes, a good man has three helpers. You can't do everything personally, and sometimes two or more things need to be handled at the same time. With only one person, it's naturally difficult to handle everything. But if you have a group of capable subordinates handling things for you, you don't have to appear in person every time. Even when many unexpected situations arise at once, you can respond more calmly."

  "There is indeed such a principle."

  Ye Bai sank into thought for a moment before speaking with difficulty: "But there are too many people, I find it hard to protect them all, and I also can't accompany them every day."

  "We've already thought of that."

  Yao Yuxin said seriously: "We can take out all our money, about 30 million yuan, which is enough to buy two villas in the Tianfu Mingyuan community. You just need to move into one of them."

  "Of course, I will also live in one of them." Yao Yuxin's face turned a little red when she added this sentence.

  And if this has any implication, it also moved Ye Bai's heart a little.

  Ye Bai naturally couldn't let Yao Yuxin go into exile, he also understood Yao Yuxin's temperament, once he refused Yao Yuxin's proposal, Yao Yuxin would definitely choose to leave him.

  "I think Yu Xin's suggestion, you should accept. As the saying goes, 'save people to the end', you've already saved them all, can't just stand by and watch them get killed again?" Long Ling surprisingly also spoke up for her.

  In fact, Long Ling didn't just sympathize with these killers and their families, but also had a plan to let Ye Bai leave his own home.

  "You should think more about Yu Xing." Song Xi also spoke up, she naturally had the same plan as Long Ling, although she was grateful for Ye Bai's repeated help, but Ye Bai living in this villa would make her very uncomfortable, like last night's situation was an example.

  "Alright then." Ye Bai finally agreed, but he added afterwards, "I'll only be staying in one of the villas, I won't be keeping them company all the time."

  "Don't worry, we'll arrange for someone to be on guard ourselves." Yao Yuxin heard Ye Bai agree and she also let out a sigh of relief.

  "Let's all stay here tonight, although there are many people, we can squeeze in, and the girls can go to the second floor."

  Finally able to drive away Ye Bai, Long Ling also doesn't mind being generous with a single stroke.

  There were too many people, and Ye Bai's room was also "requisitioned" by Yao Yuxin for her brother. Seeing so many people busy, the whole villa seemed a bit noisy, Ye Bai didn't like this atmosphere, so he walked out gloomily.

  Having more subordinates isn't a bad thing either.

  In the courtyard of the villa, Ye Bai comforted himself.

  As for dinner, with so many people, they naturally had to go out to eat. Yao Yuxin took everyone to Tang Lulu's barbecue stall... This is a place where you can eat a lot of meat and the cost is not high.
