Chapter 180
Liang Yingzhang lowered his noble head and begged Shen Que.
The people behind him showed expressions of heartache, and then lowered their heads in unison like him.
A silent but heavy and sad mood spread at the entrance of the town. The people of East Town did not show any complacency when they saw this scene, but felt more personally the difficulty of living in this world.
Such a big change can happen overnight.
Chen Zui slowly approached from behind and stood behind Shen Que.
His eyes started from Liang Yingzhang and looked at those lowered heads one by one. Putting aside other things, Liang Yingzhang was worthy of respect as a leader.
He turned to look at Chen Que. The man had thick eyebrows pressed down, and his face did not show the joy of his opponent surrendering.
He is thinking.
Chen Zui recalled the history of the two towns that he knew, and thought that Shen Que, who had inherited the kindness from his mother, would probably accept the people Liang Yingzhang brought with him. After all, at this time of year, without food, it would be difficult for them and their families to survive the cold winter.
Food cannot be conjured out of thin air.
Before hearing Shen Que's answer, Liang Yingzhang and the others kept their heads down, very low. Some of them were injured after fleeing, and they were exhausted and their bodies were shaking.
Shen Que: “I only have one condition.”
Liang Yingzhang raised his head, his eyes complicated: "What are the conditions?"
He thought that maybe he was excluded. Even if that was the case, it didn't matter. As long as everyone could find a place to stay, he could wander alone. His failure to defend the town was originally due to his incompetence.
"From now on, you will join our Invincible Gang. There will no longer be a West Town in this world. There will only be our East Town. You and your people must live according to the rules here and obey my orders. There will no longer be two bosses. I am the only boss. I promise to treat everyone equally."
"If you don't agree, leave."
Shen Que said it in a decisive tone, not in a negotiating tone at all.
He couldn't bear to watch so many people die, especially the children, but he learned one thing from his mother's kindness: kindness must also have a sharp edge, otherwise it would be a disaster.
This request is both reasonable and unexpected.
The two towns have always wanted to annex each other, and this is indeed an opportunity.
The people in West Town were somewhat panicked, their eyes falling on Liang Yingzhang. Several passionate young people spoke directly: "Boss, we won't tolerate this humiliation. Let's go. Even if it means death, we are willing to follow you!"
Liang Yingzhang didn't say anything for a moment, staring at Chen Que. The two of them had been arguing with each other since they were teenagers, and there had been no result. He originally thought that it would take a long time or even until they died.
Why do you want to beat him?
Because when he was twelve years old, his father slapped him and said, "You can't even beat that kid from the Shen family in a fight. You're such a loser. You don't deserve to be my son!"
Why do you have to win him?
Because my father said, "You have a sullen face all day long. Who would like you? Can you learn from that kid from the Shen family? He's so popular in town. Look at you, you're just a loser!"
He had heard these words too many times when his father was alive.
The wind blew past my ears, and I seemed to hear my father's scolding again: "Waste, you have ruined the whole town, and you still want to linger here with the Shen family boy, do you have any shame!"
Liang Yingzhang closed his eyes. If it were his father, he would definitely take the people in the town away. He would never accept it even if everyone was displaced, starving or even died. After all, there would still be some people supporting him, and he would think he was right.
He opened his eyes and looked at Chen Que opposite him. If it was Chen Que, he would definitely agree to this request for the sake of the people in the town to survive, and he would bow down to him and have no second thoughts.
Shen Que is such a person.
Like Aunt Shen, someone who is responsible, capable of taking responsibility, and willing to take responsibility for his or her own choices.
Blown away by the wind.
Liang Yingzhang slowly squatted down and knelt on one knee in a gesture of submission.
"I promise, from now on there will only be Dongzhen, and you will be the only boss. I will never betray you."
His expression was calm. Dad, although I didn’t beat Shen Que this time, I didn’t lose either. I just had a little less luck, but - as a leader, I must have beaten you.
As a person, I will definitely defeat you.
The deep-rooted wall in his heart collapsed at this moment, and the light of heaven was able to shine in. His glory was not built on being able to always be the boss.
"Boss?"
"Boss!"
"Boss..."
The passionate young people from before surrounded him in surprise and disbelief.
Liang Yingzhang: "You should change your tune. From now on, I am no longer your boss."
The tone is firm.
Some people in Xizhen shed tears, and the young people had complicated expressions, although they understood that Liang Yingzhang did this for everyone.
The man with the worst temper yelled, "What the hell! I won't accept this!"
If you are angry, you should leave.
Shen Que turned his gaze away from Liang Yingzhang and looked at the man who was leaving. It was a good thing that such a troublemaker left.
Liang Yingzhang: "Ji Ming! Stop!"
Jiming stopped but didn't look back. He clenched his hands, which were hanging by his legs, into fists. "You are no longer the boss. You have no right to order me around."
After saying that, he took a step forward.
Liang Yingzhang didn't call him again. Looking at the determined back, everyone has the right to make their own choice. He made his choice, and Ji Ming also has the right to make his choice.
In addition to Ji Ming, several other people left with him.
Shen Que: “Dongzhen welcomes you to join us at any time.”
As the boss, he should express his opinion in this way at this time. Although it is just that, it is the truth.
After the episode ended, those who remained were all those who were willing to join East Town. A serious look swept over their faces one by one: "East Town will not tolerate traitors. Those who endanger the interests of the group will be executed."
Looking at the silent crowd.
"Do you understand?"
Some people nodded, some said they understood, and some remained silent.
Shen Que: “Answer me.”
Liang Yingzhang: "I understand."
After he spoke, the people in West Town answered loudly that they understood.
Shen Que did not correct this detail. This was too normal. How could people's thinking and habits change so quickly? But the rules had to be established.
"You forgot what to call me."
Chen looked at Chen Que with admiration, he really had the aura of a boss, then the corner of his mouth raised slightly, about a pixel in size, and he remembered the way Chen Que lost control of his bladder in front of him last night.
This contrast.
It almost made him react.
This time, Liang Yingzhang took the lead again: "Boss, we understand."
People from West Town: "Boss, we understand."
Shen Que nodded: "Lao Lei, take everyone to resettle first. Lao Xu asks the canteen to prepare food, and the injured to go to the infirmary for treatment."
The orders he passed down were all what the people of West Town needed most.
The people in West Town finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to act with some caution in a nervous and awkward manner.
Liang Yingzhang stood in the line of injured people, watching them being taken away for resettlement. Was he unwilling to accept this? In fact, he did, but things had come to this point. As long as everyone in the town could have a stable life, he could put aside his resentment.
My eyes fell on the smiling faces of those little kids covered in dust. As long as they can grow up safely, it will be worth it.
Shen Que: "Doctor Chen, I'm sorry to bother you."
Chen Zui looked at the long line of injured people and said, "It seems some of them are tired. Eh, their backs and legs must be sore after a day of work."
Shen Que smiled and leaned close to his ear: "Brother Chen will give you a massage tonight, it will be very pleasant."
Chen Zui: "Thank you, Brother Chen."
Chen Zui took the injured to the infirmary, including those placed on stretchers. Naturally, the more serious injuries were treated first. He and his students were busy, and his students handled some simple abrasions or fractures.
The people in West Town kept saying thank you, and while waiting, most of them were looking at Chen Zui, seeing him treating each wounded person very skillfully. They couldn't help but think of the old doctor in their town. Unfortunately, the old man died in this attack.
Some people wiped their tears and didn't even dare to cry out loud in a strange place.
The meal was served soon. There was meat, vegetables, eggs and hot rice. Everyone drooled at the sight of the sumptuous food. More people shed tears silently while eating, and suppressed sobs could be heard from time to time.
After filling their stomachs, they could finally relax.
Cry for the home they built with their heart and soul, which is gone... Regardless of their age, they are all homeless children...
Qiu Tong also shed tears and silently handed paper to everyone.
Liang Yingzhang actually didn't have much of an appetite, but he had to eat and restore his strength. The people in Xizhen couldn't adapt all at once, and he still needed to take care of many things. In addition, there was a tough battle to fight regarding those who occupied Xizhen.
He stuffed the food into his mouth in big mouthfuls and had no time to grieve.
With so many people coming at once, Chen Que and Lao Lei were busy working together to figure out how to arrange things. At the same time, he also had to hold a meeting with everyone in Dongzhen, warning them not to bully newcomers and not to tolerate them. If a conflict occurred, they should report it.
Song Luo was treating Liang Yingzhang's wound. Liang Yingzhang looked at Chen Zui who was busy as a top. No wonder Chen Que valued him so much. Putting aside their relationship, based on Chen Zui's ability, if he had come to his town, he would have worshipped him.
Chen looked back at him most sharply.
Aotian: [He's Shen's destined partner in the book, and now they've been brought together according to the plot. Are you afraid that they might spark a romance?]
Chen Zui: [It doesn't matter. I'll first make Shen Que's *sparkle, which is definitely better than the spark of love.]
Aotian: [You are awesome.]
Its host is really awesome.
Facing Chen Zui's gaze, Liang Yingzhang curled the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly. Although the two had some unpleasantness before, none of that mattered now.
After a busy day, Chen Zui took a longer shower.
Chen Que was in a meeting, discussing how they should deal with the group of people who were currently occupying West Town. Chen Zui, who had just taken a shower, went over to listen. The room was filled with smoke, and as soon as he appeared, Chen Que asked someone to put out the cigarettes, opened the window, and moved a chair next to him.
Everyone greeted Chen Zui, who nodded in response and sat down next to Chen Que.
Liang Yingzhang was also there.
Although he is not the boss anymore, he can't be a pawn. This is normal here.
Everyone continued to discuss, Chen Zui listened quietly, his hands under the table placed on his legs and gently kneaded them. Shen Que noticed his little movements and thought he was tired and his hands were sore, so he reached out and replaced Chen Zui's hand to help him knead gently.
No one noticed the little movements under the table.
Shen Que was secretly happy. Chen Zui did not push his hand away. It seemed that he was not only not disgusted by his touch, but was also very accustomed to it.
He pinched Chen's strongest knuckles, his mind wandering for a second, and then he remembered that it was this hand that was in his **...
Lao Xu: "We must get rid of them."
Lao Lei: "The only problem now is that they have strong firepower. Guns are better than knives."
This is where Chen Que is struggling. He unconsciously increases the strength of his hands while kneading Chen Zui. If he wants to eliminate this group of people, there will definitely be sacrifices. But if he keeps such a group of people around, he must be vigilant at all times.
Liang Yingzhang: "I support killing them, whether it's out of selfish revenge or long-term considerations. They won't sit still and will attack us sooner or later. In that case, why don't we take control of the initiative?"
Shen knew this, but he always thought of those who died. It was the first time that so many people died in the town at once, which made him hesitate.
The old people in the town watched him grow up, the young people grew up with him, and the children grew up under his watch.
Everyone is his family.
When Shen Que was quiet, someone asked, "Doctor Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Zui: "There are many wounded in the town. Even if we fight, it's not the time to do it now."
"Liang Yingzhang."
Liang Yingzhang, who was named by him, looked over at him.
Chen Zui: "How many people are there?"
Liang Yingzhang: "About 300 people."
Chen Zui nodded. If he killed thirty a day, he would kill them all in ten days.
