Speaking of which, this was the first time Bai Mu and Uncle Chen met.
We used to communicate on the phone.
He still had a good impression of this old man with some tattoos.
"Uncle Chen, your hand?"
Bai Mu followed Uncle Chen, who was carrying two suitcases and said with a smile, "It's okay. That was ten years ago. Didn't Bai Lao hook up with those upper-class people back then? I don't agree with that."
He held up the prosthetic limb. "Then I cut my hand off and took my people and parted ways with the white guy."
"I was a small leader at that time and took away quite a few people."
Uncle Chen also smiled bitterly as he spoke.
Who knew that things would take a turn for the better so quickly? Not only did Bai Lao suddenly say that he wanted to revitalize the Red Tooth Gang, but he also gave all the power to this young man named Bai Mu.
Bai Mu nodded.
Continue to follow, Uncle Chen also continued to say,
"I took away many backbone members at that time, and the Red Fang Gang was greatly weakened."
"Originally, I wanted to let the little girl Nekomata go with us, but Nekomata disagreed. She said that the Red Fang Gang is our home, no matter how rotten it is."
“We didn’t force it, and then we went to develop in the surrounding areas.”
Bai Mu nodded.
"Well, how's that going?"
Uncle Chen smiled.
"It's okay. Bai Lao was just too impatient. After all, the old capital was gradually falling and collapsing at that time."
"He was anxious to take the people from Canvas Lane away, but he had no money."
…
When talking about the past, Uncle Chen smiled bitterly.
"Originally, we were planning to get some Dingni and then go and take down the Red Fang Gang again. But after all these years, we guys have grown old and don't have the heart to do such things anymore."
"Afterwards, everyone dispersed and no gangs were formed."
Uncle Chen walked into a building while smoking a cigarette.
This building is very grand, but it is only inhabited by elderly people.
"Old Chen."
"Hey, Malphite, this is Bai Mu."
An old man was walking towards us, walking slowly with a cane. He was greeting Uncle Chen.
Bai Mu also nodded, "Mr. Moffitt."
Shiraki…
Hear this name.
Malphite shakily put his cane aside and bowed to Bai Mu.
How could Bai Mu bear this?
He went up to support the old man,
"Uncle, it's not that bad."
Malphite shook his head and insisted on bowing.
"That's incredible, Mr. Baimu. You saved the Red Fang Gang."
"My name is Murphite, and I'm in charge of accounts. I've missed this place so much over the years."
"Without you, the Red Fang Gang is finished."
After he bowed, tears flowed down his eyes.
All the bitterness of the past few years suddenly rushed out like a bursting dam.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Baimu was full of gratitude.
He pursed his lips, stood straight, and said in his old, rich voice, "Murphy, the account manager of the Red Fang Gang, extends his sincerest greetings to you."
As he spoke, he extended his hand in salute.
Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Murphy, you're too reserved. Don't be so reserved."
He pulled a cigar from his breast pocket and handed it to him. "Put away those old Defence Force tricks of yours."
Malphite shook his head. "It's alright."
"Bai... No, brother, did you smoke?"
He took the cigar, but instead of smoking it himself, he handed it to Baimu.
Bai Mu shook his head, "I don't smoke."
Malphite then smiled and said, "Brother, you don't look very old. The Red Fang Gang will rely on you from now on."
"I still have to pay the neighbors' wages today, so I can't accompany you for now."
After saying that, he asked Uncle Chen to borrow a light and walked out again with his crutches.
Uncle Chen noticed Bai Mu's awkwardness and said with a smile, "Don't mind. Murphy used to be a cashier in the Defense Force's Yaohuo Battalion. His family used to live in Canvas Lane. After he was discharged from the army and returned home, he was the first one to join our gang. He later made a lot of contributions."
"Except for his somewhat rigid manner of speaking, he is actually a very good old man."
"Life in the military camp is always solemn. He is used to that kind of life. When he sees someone worthy of respect, he will be moved to bow and salute."
Bai Mu touched his nose.
"I'm not worthy of respect, so just treat me as a friend."
Uncle Chen frowned, "Hey! That won't do. Being a leader requires authority. It's only natural for the people in our gang to respect you."
"Just accept it. We owe you that."
"Look around here, how many neighbors have benefited from your kindness and are now standing firm here."
"A lot of neighborhood kids are living close now, and they can come over to visit from time to time."
"And they can also have a good income. Life is much better with Dinny."
He pointed around and saw through the glass windows of the building that the people below were completely different from those in other city centers.
They all had smiles on their faces and looked very happy.
Almost everyone else in the city center is very tired. Not to mention smiling, it’s a blessing to have no dark circles under their eyes.
"I didn't do anything actually."
Uncle Chen patted his shoulder and said, "If you didn't do anything, what credit can we old guys get?"
"Okay, keep it, hahahaha."
"You are the benefactor of our New Canvas Lane."
Shiraki: "New Canvas Lane?"
“Yes, it wasn’t originally called this, but we bought the entire alley.”
Uncle Chen smiled and said, "This is New Canvas Lane!"
"A new beginning."
