"What?" Before Mo Huaixing, who had been chosen, could speak, Fu Shaojie exploded, "Dad, he has..."

Lu Zhengqian glared at Fu Shaojie again, and Fu Shaojie was so frightened that he swallowed the rest of his words.

Fu Cheng reminded Mo Huaixing: "Amo, hurry up and kowtow to the gang leader."

The words "kowtow and swear an oath" crashed into Mo Huaixing's heart. How could he, as a police officer and as a son, possibly kowtow and swear an oath to this devil before him?

"Are you stupid?" Lu Zhengqian laughed.

Mo Huaixing stood up and took two steps back, standing on the spacious ground. He was ready to do everything, but he couldn't bring himself to kneel down.

With a thud, Mo Huaixing collapsed to the ground, breathing rapidly, his face ashen. Fu Shaojie moved aside in disgust, while Fu Cheng rushed over and knelt down to support him.

"Amo, what's wrong?"

When Fu Cheng touched his chest, he found that his heart was beating unusually fast. He reached out and tore open his shirt, revealing a patch of bruises on his fair chest, with some areas turning purple and black, as if burned.

In addition, my body is burning up.

"They tortured you?"

"It's nothing!" Mo Huaixing breathed weakly. "They didn't dare to use torture because they didn't have any evidence. It was just that a hot-headed new recruit was eager to make a contribution and secretly shocked me twice. Otherwise, they wouldn't have released me so quickly."

At this moment, Mo Huaixing couldn't resist joking: "It's worth it. When I came out, I heard that the new policeman was going to have to write a 10,000-word self-criticism as punishment."

After hanging up the phone with Dr. Mu Zi, Lu Zhengqian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. There was a time when he could only console himself with this bittersweet sentiment.

Dr. Mu Zi arrived quickly to examine Mo Huaixing.

"This is a recurrence of palpitations caused by emotional distress following the electric shock. His body is so hot that there may be long-term effects, such as pneumonia. I need to take him to the infirmary for further examination."

Fu Shaojie watched helplessly as Fu Cheng took away the arc-shaped blood jade that represented the power of the Azure Dragon Gang for Mo Huaixing, while he, the biological son of the Azure Dragon Gang leader, got nothing.

It was like a sharp blade piercing his chest, leaving him bleeding profusely. Fu Shaojie cried out in distress, "Dad, why did you give it to him?"

"If I don't give it to him, will I give it to you, you idiot?"

A cup of tea was splashed on Fu Shaojie's face. Lu Zhengqian said angrily, "I just saved face for you by not scolding you, and you still insist on embarrassing me. How many times have I told you to sell the goods quietly through the original channels? You just had to come up with some new tricks."

Fu Shaojie knelt down with a thud, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He argued, "It's clearly because they're incompetent. That's how they sell things overseas."

"This is China! Why don't others use such good methods? Are you saying everyone else is stupid and only you are capable?"

The underworld boss, who was always feared and admired, never imagined that one day he would be ridiculed by the entire underworld in such a foolish way. If this wasn't his own son, Lu Zhengqian would have kicked him out.

"Get out of here, and don't let me see you again."

Fu Shaojie scrambled out of the office, leaving only Lu Zhengqian in the large space. Lu Zhengqian opened his phone, and a picture popped up—it was Mo Huaixing's statement at the Narcotics Control Bureau.

...

In the infirmary, the IV drip slowly reduced over time. Mo Huaixing lay on the bed, sleeping soundly, but not peacefully.

Fu Cheng returned and placed the thermos on the bedside table, reminding the nurse in the room, "When he wakes up in a while, remember to feed him porridge."

The young nurse smiled and replied, "General Manager, you're so kind to people. Whoever becomes your girlfriend will be incredibly lucky."

"Don't talk nonsense. He hasn't eaten since last night, don't forget." Fu Cheng reminded him again before turning and leaving.

"Big brother!" Mo Huaixing opened his eyes and struggled to get up.

Fu Cheng thought he was thinking about the jade pendant, so he helped him sit down and took out the jade pendant.

"Don't worry, I'll hold it for you!"

Seeing that he seemed to want to say something but didn't dare to, Fu Cheng raised his hand and asked the nurse to leave.

Mo Huaixing looked at Fu Cheng, the elder brother who had protected him all the way to where he was now in the Green Dragon Gang, and said with difficulty, "Brother, actually I was able to hold on just now."

Therefore, he pretended to be unwell in order to get rid of the jade pendant.

"Why wouldn't we want it?" Every member of the Azure Dragon Gang wanted this jade pendant that symbolized power.

“I’m scared, big brother!” Mo Huaixing looked at Fu Cheng. “Although I’ve never been involved in the goods business, I know that business has been tough these past two years, and we’ve had a lot of goods seized. I think Mr. Fu wants to take a risk and open up a new route. And I’m his first pebble, a test of the waters.”

Every newly opened drug route in history has been built on human blood.

"No, he promised me that as long as the company's transformation is successful, he will never get involved in this kind of business again."

Mo Huaixing didn't believe it: "The company makes a lot of profit every year, why is he still doing it?"

“That’s different!” Fu Cheng explained, “Some businesses can’t be stopped just because you don’t want to do them. So many people on this line are waiting to make a living. If even one person at any point is dissatisfied, it could lead to utter disaster.”

They are all people struggling to survive in the mud. Unless you pull them out of the mud together, how can they allow you to walk out on your own?

"But what business can be more profitable than drugs?"

He felt that Lu Zhengqian was lying to him, but Fu Cheng still nodded firmly.

Yes, there definitely is.

Fu Cheng placed the jade pendant beside his pillow and sighed, "No one can change my godfather's decisions. You can keep this jade pendant with peace of mind. As for your worries, I will try my best to persuade him. I don't want you to do that kind of business either."

Mo Huaixing didn't know whether Lu Zhengqian was trying to open up a new path or to involve him in the old one by using him. He just wanted Fu Cheng to believe that he was still relying on him and that he didn't want to take over his position or take away his power.

But Fu Cheng seemed to have never thought that way. Looking at him, Mo Huaixing gradually felt a pang of guilt. The brotherhood he showed him was fake, but the brotherhood he showed him was real.

But this is for the best, Mo Huaixing tried his best to suppress the strange feeling in his heart. If Lu Zhengqian really had the idea of ​​opening up a new path, Fu Cheng might be able to persuade him to put it aside for the time being.

"That's enough. Drink your porridge and then get some more sleep." Fu Cheng picked up the thermos and fed the weak man on the bed. Suddenly, he realized a serious problem: "Why hasn't Miss come to see you?"

Mo Huaixing gave an awkward smile and remained silent.

Fu Cheng asked curiously, "Did you two have a fight?"

Mo Huaixing neither said "yes" nor "no," but simply sighed, "It's fine this way too."

“Yes, that’s good too. As long as you can figure it out yourself. In the future, keep some distance from her.” Fu Cheng looked at the shiny watch on Mo Huaixing’s wrist and said with a touch of regret, “Godfather is already choosing a husband for her.”
