Chapter 556 Bent?
And so, Zhou Liang naturally took his place among the three leaders of the central town.
He had only been in the central town for less than two months.
One has to admire him. In less than two months, he thoroughly investigated everyone in the central town, including Chen Tianqi. Now, with one move, he has directly taken over the positions of the three giants in the central town.
As for what happens next, he'll probably start dealing with the other two, right?
Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian.
Once those two are dead, his position as the leader of Central Town will be truly secured, and I guess that will be the day I die.
Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a little panicked.
But I can't stop it now. Zhou Liang has already taken this position. I can't just kill him and take his place, can I?
Even if I wanted to kill him, whether I could actually do it was another matter.
Besides, Zhou Liang's rise to power was thanks to Ye Qian's help, and Ye Qian probably wouldn't agree to me killing someone.
Am I just supposed to watch him take control of Central Town and then slowly wait for my death?
I don't want this to happen.
I can only watch silently as this unfolds.
As for what happens next, I can only take it one step at a time.
I wonder what kind of leverage Zhou Liang has over Ye Qian that would make Ye Qian help him like this.
It must be something very important, otherwise, given Ye Qian's personality, he would never have offered to help.
...
Two hours later, news of Zhou Liang's appointment spread throughout the town, and everyone also learned that Wu Zhaolong wanted to kill Ye Qian and take over the town. After this news spread, Wu Zhaolong's image in everyone's mind plummeted, and everyone wanted to kill him.
Zhou Liang was familiar with many people in the central town, so everyone was very happy when they learned that he had taken office.
I went to a bar to drink, feeling very melancholy.
The more powerful Zhou Liang is, the shorter my life will be.
If this continues, I'll die sooner or later.
Seeing me drinking alone in a gloomy mood, Zhang Lincai took a glass and sat down opposite me. He poured himself a glass and said, "Hey, ever since the bar was blown up last time, I haven't had much alcohol left."
I asked, "Can't we brew it ourselves?"
Zhang Lincai said with a smile, "I'm brewing it now. I found a brewing master who is helping me brew it at the resort. He said the first batch of wine won't be ready until early February next year at the earliest, so I don't have much wine left. I should drink it sparingly."
I said, "Okay, then I'll come less often in the future."
Zhang Lincai looked at me and changed the subject, saying, "What's wrong? You seem unhappy. Is it because of Zhou Liang?"
I nodded and said, "Yes."
Zhang Lincai said, "What do you have to worry about? Isn't Zhou Liang your friend? He's now one of the three big shots in the central town, which should be a good thing for you. What's with your long face? I haven't even complained yet, so what are you complaining about?"
I looked at him curiously and asked, "What do you have to complain about?"
Zhang Lincai said, "You know, when the three leaders were elected in the central town, I was ranked right behind them, just a few votes behind, and I didn't get elected. I originally thought that after Wu Zhaolong died, I would be able to take his place. According to seniority, I should be the oldest one."
"Who knew it would turn out like this? Zhou Liang only stayed for less than two months and he became one of the three giants. To be honest, I'm very dissatisfied."
I gave a wry smile. "What can you do if you're not convinced? They're just that capable."
Zhang Lin sighed and said, "Yes, in the end, it's because he's capable. To others, I'm just a bar owner, but Zhou Liang is a different story. Just that night, when Yao Chengjie's group attacked, he ran out alone and killed several of them, and even captured two. I don't have that kind of ability."
Looking at the expression on Zhang Lincai's face, I said, "So you're still quite convinced."
Zhang Lin nodded subconsciously. "There's nothing we can do about it. He's smart and capable, so he deserves his current position."
"That's true." Just thinking about Zhou Liang's strength made me feel uneasy.
Not only is he brilliant, but his physical abilities are also unmatched by ordinary people; he could easily take on ten people at once.
Why would someone like that exist?
Zhang Lincai looked at me, puzzled, and said, "Hey, that's not right. It's normal for me to feel disappointed, but what's with that expression on your face? Zhou Liang's rise to power is a good thing for you, so why are you still looking like that?"
I looked at Zhang Lincai, thinking, "I can't very well reveal the relationship between Zhou Liang and me. Even if I did, they might not believe me."
I said, "Don't ask about this. This is between him and me, and it has nothing to do with you."
Zhang Lincai nodded and asked, "What happened between you two before? What happened between you two?"
I shook my head and said, "I can't explain it."
Zhang Lin squinted at me, staring at me curiously, and said, "You and him... you're not both gay, are you?"
puff!
I spat a mouthful of beer in his face. It was unbelievable. I stared at Zhang Lincai, wanting to roll my eyes. What was this guy thinking?
Zhang Lin clicked his tongue twice, "Judging from your shocked expression, it seems I was right, you and him really do have that kind of relationship?"
"Get lost!" I yelled. "I'm straight, okay?!"
Zhang Lincai asked in confusion, "But if you're straight, why have I never seen you bring any women out? There are quite a few single women in my central town, and some of them are quite pretty. With your status, it would be easy for you to sleep with them if you wanted to. Why have I never seen you do such a thing?"
"Besides, I remember you have quite a few girls around you. Just that big star Zhou Qingya, I remember she was very beautiful, with big breasts and a great figure. Why don't you go for her?"
I frowned and said, "I'm not that kind of person!"
"So you're still gay? You're surrounded by so many beautiful women, but you don't sleep with any of them. You're such a waste of resources."
"I have nothing to say to you." I grabbed my beer, turned around and left, not wanting to waste any more words on that lecherous Zhang Lincai.
As I walked out of the newly renovated bar and back into the infirmary, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Zhou Liang has now left the central town and headed to Wu Zhaolong's base to recruit Wu Zhaolong's men. With his strength, even if Wu Zhaolong's men resist, he has a way to resolve the situation.
So this matter is nothing to him.
I reckon things will be tough after he gets back.
