Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 260: Chapter 126 Wu Zhong: What? The hero you mentioned is named Chen 94?_5

“If we tightly control these places, my own strength will not be weaker than the eldest brother and the second brother.”

“And this month, relying on the people in my hands, this is all I could manage.”

“Soon, Zhou Chu returned, followed by the managers of various departments.”

“There were quite a few managers from the White Tiger Hall.”

“These included the managers of the four major streets, which were directly administered by the Four Great Vajra, then the fishery managers of the three major villages and towns, and also the North Mountain Iron Mine Manager.”

“And some managers responsible for transportation businesses.”

“All together, there were more than ten people.”

“Chen Jie gathered everyone for a brief meeting.”

“The meeting was about the upcoming work arrangements for the White Tiger Hall. For the four major streets, Chen Jie decided that everything should remain as usual.”

“He didn’t plan to intervene much in the iron mine either.”

“Then there was the fishery in the villages and towns. Actually, the three managers were directly managed by Peng Shizhong, and Wu Zhong expressed direct allegiance to Chen Jie.”

“Additionally, regarding the management of the Big Vegetable Market, Chen Jie directly assigned it to continue under the control of Fourth Brother’s confidant, Ding San.”

“Ding San thought he was going to be removed but was grateful that Chen Jie still used him and decided to work well with Chen Jie.”

“Zhou Chu was directly assigned by Chen Jie to manage Nan Lake, a very lucrative piece, and it had to be assigned to someone reliable.”

“Finally, Chen Jie told everyone, ‘I am only managing the gang affairs temporarily, so continue as before, especially the managers of the three major streets. If you have any doubts, consult your former superiors. Of course, you must manage well and don’t cause me any trouble. After a month, you will still be under my three elder brothers.'”

“Alright, you can leave now!”

“Chen Jie waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.”

“A crowd left, only leaving Zhou Chu and Ding San behind.”

“Chen Jie looked at Ding San and asked, ‘Ding San, why aren’t you leaving?'”

“At this moment, Ding San immediately knelt on one knee and said, ‘Fifth Master, thank you for letting me continue to manage the Big Vegetable Market.'”

“Chen Jie understood that Ding San was pledging his loyalty.”

“Chen Jie said, ‘Brother Ding San, I have a good relationship with Fourth Brother, and since you are his confidant, you are now mine too. Work well, and you can always come to me if needed.'”

“Having heard this, Ding San immediately said, ‘I am willing to die for Fifth Master.'”

“Chen Jie said, ‘Get up, don’t say such distant things.'”

“Chen Jie asked Ding San to sit, then suddenly thought of something and asked, ‘By the way, before Fourth Brother’s incident, was there anything unusual about him?'”

“Ding San was startled and replied, ‘No, there was nothing unusual with Fourth Master back then. Oh, right, those were the days when Fourth Master was doing the accounts, and he was also our White Tiger Hall’s accountant.'”

“Chen Jie nodded after hearing this and asked, ‘What accounts was he handling on the day of the incident?'”

“Ding San replied, ‘Technically, it should have been the accounts for the iron mine and the contraband salt.'”

“‘Iron mine.'”

“Chen Jie squinted his eyes, recalling something he had heard inadvertently from Third Miss Hua some days ago, that the price of pig iron in Mianshui County had gone up.”

“Generally, if prices rise without government intervention, it could only be due to a change in market supply and demand.”

“That is to say, there might be less iron.”

“And before Deng Guangming’s incident, he was reviewing the iron mine’s finances. It seems there was a problem with the iron mine.”

“Chen Jie said, ‘Alright, Brother Ding San, you can go back and continue with your tasks as usual.'”

“‘Yes, Fifth Master.'”

“Ding San turned and left.”

“At this moment, Zhou Chu sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and said to himself, ‘Jiu Si, you’re just going to hand over such a huge area of Nan Lake to me like this?'”

“Chen Jie asked, ‘Can’t you handle it?'”

“Zhou Chu replied, ‘Underestimating me? Rest assured, I won’t mess up.'”

“Chen Jie said, ‘Nan Lake is of utmost importance; I must entrust it to a brother I can trust. You understand what I mean, right, as brothers.'”

“Zhou Chu reassured, ‘Don’t worry, we are brothers in life and death. I’ll risk my life for you. Nothing will go wrong in Nan Lake, but Jiu Si, I thought you would implement major reforms after taking control, yet you’ve let things lie lightly?'”

“Chen Jie responded, ‘They are all our own brothers; I can’t go too far.'”

“Zhou Chu chuckled, ‘That doesn’t sound like you.'”

“Chen Jie asked, ‘Want the truth?'”

“Zhou Chu responded, ‘We’re brothers; what can’t we talk about? Actually, I also know that after you rise to power, a confrontation with the eldest and second brother is inevitable.'”

“Zhou Chu chuckled, ‘You see it clearly, eh? Whose side are you planning to take?'”

“Chen Jie asked Zhou Chu, and Zhou Chu immediately laughed, ‘Haha, does that even need asking? Ask around the whole White Tiger Hall, who doesn’t know that Zhou Chu belongs to the Fifth Master Party? When you prosper, brother, I feast; when you’re in trouble, brother, I…'”

“‘What, will you live and die with me?'”

“‘Heh, brother, I’ll go back to the escort agency as a useless husband and live a cowardly life.'”

“Chen Jie reassured, ‘Don’t worry, everyone thinks you’re a useless son-in-law, but brother, I know you will make a great impact.'”

“Zhou Chu laughed, ‘Only a brother like you believes in me, and for your trust, brother, I would sell my life for you.'”

“As they talked, Chen Jie said, ‘Old Zhou, by the way, let’s talk about something else. How is your cultivation in the Liu Jin Realm coming along?'”

“Old Zhou replied, ‘It’s stable, but it’s a bit difficult to move up to the next level.'”

“Chen Jie said, ‘Well, I’ll keep an eye out for the Bone Strengthening Pill for you. If you want to help me, you can’t fall behind in terms of strength.'”

“‘Then you better keep an eye out, brother, the day mother-in-law White Tiger prepares my foot bath depends on you.'”

“Zhou Chu did not say thanks; brothers don’t say thanks.”

“At this point, Zhou Chu suddenly remembered something and fumbled in his pocket saying, ‘By the way, Jiu Si, pass this to Xiao Hu when you have time.'”
