Zhang Linju fell to the ground limply, shocking everyone, even Zhao Dapeng and Wang Qing had not expected Ye Xiao to kill Zhang Linju without any warning!

It all happened in the blink of an eye. Lying on the ground subdued by Zhao Dapeng, Zhang Biao was terrified. He had hoped that Zhang Linju would back him up, but now Zhang Linju was suddenly dead!

"Ah..." A scream erupted from Ling Shuya, who had just walked in!

Ling Shuya had witnessed Ye Xiao breaking Zhang Linju's neck and couldn't believe her eyes, horrified!

Ye Xiao hurried over to Ling Shuya with a smile, exaggeratingly saying, "You didn't think he was dead, did you, screaming so loudly? I just knocked him out. If I had killed him, wouldn't I have to go to prison? Silly girl!"

Ye Xiao said this on purpose, and Ling Shuya, hearing Ye Xiao's words, thought about it and found some sense in them. If Ye Xiao really had killed someone, wouldn't he have to go to the Guard Bureau again? Then, even her father might not be able to save him!

Ling Shuya immediately patted her heaving chest and said, "You scared me; I really thought you had killed him."

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "How could that be? It was just a scare. Wang Qing, Dapeng, from now on, you guys are in charge here. Those who obey can stay; those who don't, just knock them out like I did, no mercy!"

It was clear to anyone with street smarts whether Zhang Linju was alive or dead. Wang Qing and Zhao Dapeng also clearly understood what Ye Xiao really meant by his words and immediately nodded in agreement!

Seeing this, Ling Shuya became even more puzzled. She had only heard from Weei Jie that Ye Xiao wasn't a local, but why did everyone here listen to him?

"Ling Shuya, how come they listen to you?" Ling Shuya asked Ye Xiao in surprise.

Ye Xiao replied, "Oh, you mean them? They're my friends. They asked for my help today, so of course, they listen to me, right guys?"

Wang Qing and Zhao Dapeng immediately grinned and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Xiao, thank you so much today!"

Ye Xiao said, "You're welcome. We friends should help each other. We won't stay long; let's go down and see what we can find to entertain ourselves before we leave!"

Zhao Dapeng immediately said to Ye Xiao, "Yes, Brother Xiao, we'll take care of things here!"

Ye Xiao nodded and then turned to Zhao Dapeng, saying, "From now on, you'll also be in charge here. If there's anything you don't know, learn from Wang Qing!"

Zhao Dapeng immediately became serious and nodded, "Yes, Brother Xiao!"

Ye Xiao left with Ling Shuya. His words obviously had implications, and Wang Qing was well aware of them. Although Zhao Dapeng was ostensibly under Wang Qing, he was in fact Ye Xiao's confidant. Ye Xiao's intention was clear: he did not want Wang Qing to be the sole leader, but rather for Zhao Dapeng to manage side by side with him!

"Brother Wang, I'll need to learn a lot from you!" Zhao Dapeng watched as Ye Xiao left, then smiled at Wang Qing.

Wang Qing immediately responded, "Dapeng, what are you talking about? We're all Brother Xiao's brothers. There's no need for formalities. You're younger and surely have fresher ideas. We are going to rely on you a lot around here!"

"Heh, Brother Wang, you flatter me!" Zhao Dapeng chuckled.

Wang Qing looked at Zhang Biao lying on the ground, gave a cold smile, and said, "Zhang Biao, bet you didn't expect to end up in my hands one day!"

At that moment, Zhang Biao was powerless to resist. It wasn't Wang Qing he feared, but Ye Xiao, who had swiftly taken out Zhang Linju!

He would never forget that instant for the rest of his life.

"Do you want to kill me?" Zhang Biao said to Wang Qing, "Wang Qing, let me tell you, I never respected you before, and I don't respect you now. Kill me? No problem, a decapitation just leaves a big scar!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wang Qing burst into laughter, then suddenly pulled out the dagger he carried on him, looking venomously at Wang Qing and said, "Today, I'll give you a scar you'll never forget!"

"Wait a moment, Brother Wang!" Zhao Dapeng suddenly looked at Wang Qing with a cheerful expression.

"What is it?" asked Wang Qing.

Zhao Dapeng said, "Now that Zhang Linju is dead, we need people to control the Blue-tailed Fox Bar. Zhang Biao is quite a man; I like him. From now on, he can follow me. Zhang Biao, apologize to Brother Wang, and let's be good brothers again!"

Zhao Dapeng wasn't stupid. Now that Zhang Linju was dead, the loyalty of several dozen men depended on Wang Qing and Zhang Biao. If Zhang Biao also died, there would be no force to check Wang Qing's power, and over time, it would be hard for him to maintain his position, which would greatly deviate from Brother Xiao's plan. Thus, taking advantage of the situation to raise his own influence was necessary to at least balance the number of men under Wang Qing and him!

Wang Qing was originally going to kill Zhang Biao. Although Zhang Biao was tough in his words, no one really wanted to die. With Zhao Dapeng's suggestion, regardless of his motives, it at least offered a chance for survival.

Therefore, Zhang Biao immediately turned to Wang Qing and said, "Brother Wang... I'm sorry, it was my fault, please be magnanimous!"

Wang Qing immediately looked at Zhao Dapeng, staring at him for a good five seconds before suddenly bursting out laughing, saying, "Dapeng, you're still too young and naive, not knowing how sinister people can be. Keeping Zhang Biao will definitely be a huge disaster. But since you like him, let's keep him. Zhang Biao, you've seen Brother Xiao's power. Let's not mince words, Brother Xiao is the boss here, and no matter what happens, Brother Xiao will always be the boss!"

Zhang Biao said, "I understand, our boss is Brother Xiao!"

Zhao Dapeng knew that Wang Qing's words were intentionally said for him to hear, but he didn't expose it. He helped Zhang Biao up, smiling as he said, "Brother Wang is right, but Zhang Biao, outside, even if it's your own parents, you absolutely must not reveal anything about Brother Xiao. Outside, it's as if Brother Xiao doesn't exist, and Brother Wang, he is our boss, you got that?"

"Yes, Brother Peng, I understand!" Zhang Biao nodded.

Zhao Dapeng then smiled at Wang Qing, saying, "Brother Wang, haven't you always said that Zhang Linju's woman is pretty? Now that you are the boss, this woman is yours!"

Wang Qing had also been occasionally glancing at the woman on the sofa, scared stiff like a little kitten, she was Zhang Linju's woman, very coquettish, often joking with Wang Qing when Zhang Linju wasn't around. Wang Qing had always fancied her, just yesterday, he was telling Zhao Dapeng that if he could get rid of Zhang Linju, he would surely have a wild time with Zhang Linju's woman!

Now that Zhao Dapeng had mentioned it, Wang Qing was indeed a bit embarrassed!

"Dapeng, listen to you, is this really appropriate?" Wang Qing said, his eyes involuntarily glancing towards the woman!

Zhao Dapeng gave a slight smile, then winked at Zhang Biao, who immediately said obsequiously, "Brother Wang, now you're the boss, it's your lucky break. If I were the boss, I would have pounced on her by now. Look at that chick's flirtatious eyes, damn, Brother Wang, what are you waiting for? Holding it in too long can lead to prostate problems!"

Zhao Dapeng then laughed, saying, "Zhang Biao, give me a hand, take Zhang Linju away. This guy here is just dampening Brother Wang's mood!"

Zhang Biao immediately said, "Right on!"

The two were grateful to drag away Zhang Linju's body, then they closed the door as soon as they left. As soon as the door closed, Zhao Dapeng heard some moaning noises from inside. Standing at the doorway, Zhao Dapeng coldly smiled, "A man who can't even control his own impulses is unlikely to achieve anything great!"

Zhang Biao looked at Zhao Dapeng, whispering, "Brother Peng, why give him such an advantage? I think you're more qualified to be the boss!"

Previously, Zhang Biao also realized that Zhao Dapeng was the closest to Brother Xiao!

Zhao Dapeng looked at Zhang Biao, smiled slightly, and said, "Ah Biao, by following me, you're following Brother Xiao. As long as you can be loyal, I think in the future you might have more potential than the current Wang Qing. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

After hearing Zhao Dapeng's words, Zhang Biao's expression became serious, immediately responding, "Brother Peng, I don't want to talk about loyalty or anything, but let's just keep moving forward and see!"

Zhao Dapeng smiled slightly, patted Zhang Biao on the shoulder, then said, "Promising. Get someone to dispose of Zhang Linju's body!"

Zhang Biao immediately nodded in agreement!

...

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya had been hanging out on the first floor of the bar for a while. When they finally made their way down to the first floor, it caused quite a stir. No one expected these two to come down safely, yet there they were, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened!

"What do you want to drink?" Ye Xiao asked Ling Shuya, smiling as they approached the bar.

"Cocktail, and you?" Ling Shuya replied.

"Beer!"

Ling Shuya looked disdainfully at Ye Xiao, "Can't you drink something more sophisticated, like vodka, XO?"

Ye Xiao instantly had a wry smile, saying, "It seems like you come to places like this often!"

Ling Shuya looked surprised at Ye Xiao, saying, "You don't come here often? We ought to be avant-garde in our times, otherwise, we'll be laughed at!"

"Looks like you can hold your liquor!"

"It's alright, but don't you get knocked out by one beer, we still have to drive!"

Ye Xiao said, "Oh dear, they're really cracking down on drunk driving now, maybe I should just have some water!"

"Oh come on, isn't fighting frowned upon too? Didn't you still fight, knocking someone out no less. You really hit hard!"

Ye Xiao said, "I had no choice, a friend asked for help, and what if they stopped being friends with me? I don't have many friends!"

Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao, thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Ye Xiao, why haven't you asked me what I actually want you to do for me?"

"You are the employer, as long as your requests aren't unreasonable, I'm willing to comply, so asking or not doesn't really matter!" Ye Xiao shrugged, his face showing indifference.
