In just three days, Lin Baici took over the entire New Righteous Courage, becoming the new boss.
Of course, just being able to fight wasn’t enough for an outsider like him, but thankfully Lin Baici was willing to spend money, and with Gu Qingqiu’s help, taking over New Righteous Courage was a piece of cake.
Anyway, Lin Baici wasn’t in it for the money; frankly, spending so much to win people over feels like a real loss.
Lin Baici was too lazy to change the na, so he continued using New Righteous Courage.
Then he offered a reward: whoever conquered territory would be responsible for collecting fees and then turn in a certain percentage.
This wasn’t really by the rules, but it was exactly this kind of huge profit that made those in New Righteous Courage go crazy like mad dogs, frantically expanding their territory.
Lin Baici didn’t idle at night either and went out to brawl every day.
Seven days later, New Righteous Courage took over half of the Nine Dragons district, and then started encroaching toward Yau Tsim Mong.
This area had a large population and a booming comrce, naturally there was more profit to be had.
Now the area was controlled by Hongxing, an established gang with a strong influence, far stronger than New Righteous Courage.
...
In the evening, after a few lightning strikes, the sky started pouring rain.
Lin Baici looked up at the dense dark clouds, like a pool of spilled ink, coming together in a thick mass.
It’s definitely going to be a heavy rain.
"Take a break today!"
Lin Baici initially intended to fight for territory in Tsim Sha Tsui, but now gave it up, and after giving instructions, headed straight for the film set.
Sister Qing had just finished work, holding an umbrella, standing under the eaves, hesitating whether to go ho.
The rain was heavy now, even with an umbrella she might still get wet, but if she stayed to avoid the rain, it was getting later, and it wouldn’t be safe.
"Eh, it would be great if Little Ci were here!"
Sister Qing felt frustrated.
She was quite concerned about Lin Baici. She had already asked around these days and knew that New Righteous Courage had a new young boss who was great at fighting.
No doubt, it had to be Lin Baici.
Sister Qing didn’t like gangsters; she was afraid that Lin Baici might one day die violently on the street. She wanted to bring him back, even if it ant supporting him herself.
"Sister Qing!"
Lost in thought, Sister Qing suddenly heard a familiar voice call her, and she turned imdiately.
She saw Lin Baici’s handso face.
After a few days without seeing him, Lin Baici was still the sa as always—no missing limbs or new scars.
Hmm!
He seed even more handso.
Lin Baici was dressed in a black suit, holding an umbrella, standing in the rain.
The wind and rain had wet his trousers, but it didn’t make him look disheveled; instead, he looked more seasoned.
"What are you doing here?"
Sister Qing was surprised.
"It’s raining, I ca to pick you up!"
Lin Baici smiled.
Hearing this, a surge of warmth rose in Sister Qing’s heart, and she couldn’t hold back anymore. She dashed into the rain, running towards Lin Baici.
Lin Baici quickly went over to et her.
Bam!
Sister Qing crashed into Lin Baici’s arms, hugged him, and planted a kiss on his lips.
"Sister Qing!"
Lin Baici turned his head slightly: "You’re going to be a big star in the future; if soone sees this scene, you’re done for!"
"I don’t care!"
Sister Qing wrapped her arm around Lin Baici’s: "Have you eaten? Let’s go get so food first?"
With Lin Baici accompanying her, no matter how late she got ho, Sister Qing wasn’t afraid.
The two didn’t go to a luxury restaurant, but found a tea restaurant instead. After having a warm dinner, they headed ho.
Lin Baici wanted to buy another umbrella, but Sister Qing refused.
Raindrops clattered against the umbrella.
There weren’t many pedestrians on the road, and those that were, hurried along.
Lin Baici wasn’t in a rush, even deliberately slowing his pace, waiting for the Rainy Night Butcher to take the bait.
But it seed like it was going to be another futile trip.
"Hey outsider, you’re doing quite well!"
A teasing voice mingled with the sound of wind and rain reached Lin Baici’s ears, and he even caught a hint of envy and jealousy.
He turned his head and saw a newsstand.
It was where he had just been transported in.
The sharp-tongued old man sat in the newsstand, peering at Lin Baici with his eyeglasses hooked on his left finger.
Yes, it was that broke scoundrel!
Now he was dressed in such high-quality suits, with such a beautiful girl, clearly making a na for himself.
Lin Baici smiled, flipped the bird, and walked over.
"No change needed!"
Lin Baici tossed over ten yuan, picking up a newspaper from that day.
The most eye-catching headline introduced a newly appointed Senior Police Officer, followed by the Gambling God who won ten million in one night and bankrupted a casino.
Lastly, the Rainy Night Butcher!
Lin Baici roughly skimd through and threw the newspaper back at the stand.
"I’m off!"
Lin Baici called to Sister Qing.
This ti, after walking a dozen ters, Lin Baici stopped again.
Across the street, about twenty ters ahead, at a mouth of an alley, stood a person in a raincoat.
Due to the brim of the hat, Lin Baici couldn’t see the person’s face, but could tell he was very strong.
Because even the large raincoat couldn’t conceal his brawny figure.
Sister Qing saw the person too; ordinarily, she would have turned and run without hesitation, but now she had Lin Baici with her.
"Let’s go this way!"
Sister Qing pulled Lin Baici, trying to take the other side of the road.
"Wait for here!"
Lin Baici patted Sister Qing’s hand around his arm and walked forward.
"Don’t go!"
Sister Qing tried to hold Lin Baici back but couldn’t, so she simply stopped trying, took the initiative to grab the umbrella, and shielded them both.
