"Hey, it's strange that you said that?! Shouldn't I respect him? Even if he and I have no blood relationship, but without him, would I be alive today?
The grace of giving birth is greater than the grace of raising a child. He is not a human trafficker, and he did not steal me away from my biological parents. Why can't I respect him?
Also, he didn't tell me that I wasn't his biological daughter. I understand that. We were a good family and there was no barriers between us. Maybe even he himself didn't know whose daughter I was. What's the point of him telling me?
If I said that he knew who my biological parents were and he deliberately concealed it out of selfish motives, I would feel somewhat uncomfortable and resentful. But he probably didn't know that when I appeared in front of him, he heard that I was already over two years old. How could he know that?
So whether he said it or not, I don’t blame him, do you understand?”
"Okay, what you said does make sense. Let's not talk about this issue for now. I want to know why you want to compete for the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect? Do you plan to stay in the Beggars' Sect from now on and not return to the Canglan Dynasty?
Didn't you say you were married? Did your husband allow it?"
"This is my business."
"Didn't you say you considered me a friend? Shouldn't I know?"
Hearing Qin Yuehan's slightly resentful tone, Chaoge glanced back at him and said, "Of course I have to go back. My family is still in Canglan Dynasty. As for you, the New Year is coming soon. Isn't it time for you to go back to your Xiling Country?"
Hearing that Chaoge was going back, Qin Yuehan suddenly felt relieved.
"I'm not in a hurry. I'm not the only child in my family."
"Boss, the food is ready."
Originally, he wanted to ask about Wu Ting, but when he thought about the fact that it involved his biological parents, Chaoge decided that he didn't want to know so much for the time being and just leave everything to fate.
If Wu Ting finds me, I will make other plans.
"Let's eat first. I'm really hungry."
He had a simple meal in the morning. It had been a whole day, and even though he hadn't fought much, Chaoge still felt hungry.
Speaking of going back, she was more anxious than anyone else. After dinner, she went straight to the yard of the former gang leader.
As soon as she arrived, the ten elders in the main hall outside the former gang leader's bedroom saw her, and they all stood up in unison and bowed to her respectfully.
"Meet the boss!"
The uniform voices and the respectful and standard fist-clasping salute of ten people, this treatment and attitude were a world of difference from a few hours ago.
Looking at the respectful eyes of the crowd, Chaoge was lucky that she was wearing a mask, otherwise her shocked expression caused by the ten of them would surely make them laugh at her behind her back.
"No need to be polite."
Chaoge raised his hand and waved at them, then went straight to the main seat and sat down on the chair.
"All ten of you are here. Please briefly introduce your names to me and the areas you manage."
"Yes, I will go first. I am Leng Zekang, the great elder of the Eastern State. This is Elder Shan Chengan, who will manage all the related affairs of the Eastern State with me."
As he spoke, Shan Cheng'an stood up from the chair below Leng Zekang and bowed respectfully towards Chaoge.
Chaoge nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on the faces of the two elders under Shan Chengan.
"I am Chen Lu, an elder of Zhannan Kingdom. Together with Elder Qiu Ziming, I manage all affairs of Zhannan Kingdom."
"Your subordinate Mengqiao, together with Elder Xie Qianrong, will manage all matters related to Beipinglu."
Looking at Mengqiao who stood up, Chaoge had a natural expression. He did not hold any grudge against Mengqiao for having targeted him several times before.
She nodded calmly, her eyes falling on the remaining elders.
"Your subordinate Xue Rouyan, together with Elder Zhou Yuezhou, will manage all affairs of the Canglan Dynasty."
Hearing this, Elder Zhou Yuezhou stood up respectfully and saluted towards Chaoge.
Among the ten people, eight have been introduced. As for the remaining two, Chaoge is the most familiar with them, but his eyes still fell on them faintly.
Sun Shanhai was just about to stand up, but Wu Ting, who was sitting above him, moved faster than him.
"Reporting to the gang leader, your subordinate Wu Ting will manage all affairs of Xiling Kingdom together with Elder Sun Shanhai."
When I saw Wu Ting again, his expression was still the same as when I first met him, cold as ice and with a sinister look in his eyes.
Looking at him like this, Chaoge really doubted whether Qin Yuehan was lying to him?
Wu Ting looks like a meticulous person. Could it be that he still holds a grudge against what happened before?
Even if he doesn't care about the fact that I killed him, can he really let go of the fact that I took away his position as gang leader?
Brothers were scheming against each other for the throne, fighting to the death. Even though she had a family relationship with him, she had never seen him in her eighteen years.
Putting aside his little thoughts, Chaoge nodded to Wu Ting and Sun Shanhai.
"Although everyone is surprised that I can take the position of leader, and many people may even be unwilling to accept it, the fact is that I have taken the position. In the future, I will work with the ten elders to lead hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Beggars' Sect to live a better life.
In addition, the end of the year is approaching. The former leader has not been in good health, so he certainly has not looked at the accounts of your subordinates this year. Elders, please sort them out tonight. I will check them tomorrow morning. Don't just look at the general ledger, I want to look at the detailed accounts too."
"yes!"
Although this was a lot of work, the ten elders saw no point in doing so and agreed immediately.
"That's all I have to say. Do you have anything else to say?"
After Chaoge finished speaking, his eyes swept over the elders one by one.
"Um, gang leader...why do you always wear a mask?"
I thought these people had something to say, but when Chaoge looked at them one by one, Leng Zekang suddenly raised his eyes to look at her. He had his usual smiling face, but the words he said made Chaoge narrow her eyes slightly.
"Yes, boss, why do you always wear a mask? If you don't take off the mask, if someone wants to pretend to be you in the future, we will have a hard time telling the real from the fake."
Leng Zekang was just out of curiosity, but Zhou Yue’s reasons were very objective.
Chaoge hesitated for a moment, reached out and took off the mask on his face. When the face covered with human skin and makeup was revealed, the ten elders gasped in shock!
There were many people who were frightened by their truly disfigured faces. Chaoge did not mind the various expressions shown by the ten people. He put the mask on the coffee table beside him and stood up.
"Do you still have any questions?"
"No, no more. But Boss, I heard that a Holy Lotus of Tianshan appeared at the auction of Canglan Dynasty this year. If you want to restore your appearance, I can go and find out who bought the Holy Lotus of Tianshan."
