He changed to a more comfortable position and continued, "So what I an is, over the next few days, just bring one or two people back each ti. Don’t make it too conspicuous."
"It’ll also give Lei ng and the others so ti to buffer and prepare."
"We can take the opportunity to ’encourage’ him to slowly expand the territory. When the territory is large, naturally, the demand for people will increase."
"By then, you can smoothly bring the rest of the brothers in, and it will happen naturally without arousing suspicion."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the line, followed by Wei Banng’s understanding voice: "Got it. Alright, let’s do it your way."
"Okay, that’s it then. You all be extra careful in the city."
Chu Kuanglan reminded softly before hanging up the phone.
He turned around, looking at Lin Yu and the others in the room.
No one showed any signs of complaint or dissatisfaction about being in the dingy room.
Chu Kuanglan showed a genuine smile: "Sister Lin Yu, it might be a bit tough for you all in the coming days."
Lin Yu smiled slightly: "No need for such words, compared to the days in Glazed Light City, this is already considered stable."
Qi Feng nodded, his voice steady: "It’s the sa everywhere, as long as we can contribute."
Actually, once Fang Qingyu wakes up.
If he wants to sweep through the outskirts, it would be incredibly easy.
After Wei Banng decided to accept Lin Yu and the others yesterday.
The plan remained unchanged, still starting step by step from the Cyan Dragon Gang.
The primary reason being twofold.
First, Wei Banng and the others were initially suspicious that the people attacking them were the target of this mission.
But later it was found out that they were from the Pantheon.
This ant that their group hadn’t been exposed.
It was purely because the Pantheon was keeping a close eye on Fang Qingyu, so they were also noticed, an unintended disaster outside the mission.
So continuing to infiltrate from the Cyan Dragon Gang was the best option.
The second reason...
Was naturally the real target of their mission this ti.
The Celestial Punishnt Association was one of them!!
Yan Lin, although she didn’t reveal too many details.
She clearly expressed her support.
Because to complete the mission, a lot of manpower was needed, and they were far from enough.
So, starting from the outskirts, expanding the territory step by step, and recruiting people was the most stable approach.
By the ti the mission targets actually discovered them, it would probably be too late.
As for Yan Lin and others, they continued to hide in the dark, drawing the mission target’s attention.
Everyone agreed.
Chu Kuanglan would first bring Lin Yu and the others to join the Cyan Dragon Gang.
And in the upcoming ti.
After Wei Banng, Su Wanqing, Qin Hui, and others recovered from their injuries, they would gradually bring in more people.
...
Ti quietly passed.
It beca the morning of the seventh day since Fang Qingyu and others arrived in the City of Injustice.
The room temporarily used as a dical room in the dormitory building was filled with a faint sll of herbs and disinfectant.
Morning light filtered through the dust-covered windows.
Throwing beams of light onto the simple cent floor.
Jiang Wei, who had been keeping watch by the bed, seed to sense sothing, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly raised her head.
What t her eyes were Fang Qingyu’s already opened eyes, though she didn’t know when they had opened.
In those familiar eyes, though there was still a hint of fatigue, they had regained their usual calmness and depth, looking at her gently.
"Awake?"
Jiang Wei’s clear red eyes instantly lit up like a gem cleared of dust.
She imdiately straightened up, her voice carrying a barely detectable hint of concern, "How are you feeling? Still uncomfortable anywhere?"
Fang Qingyu shook his head lightly, his lips curving into a faint smile, his voice hoarse yet clear and strong: "I’m fine. Just a bit exhausted."
He habitually raised his hand, gently rubbing Jiang Wei’s little head bumping over, the gesture natural.
Jiang Wei didn’t dodge, letting his palm rest on her crimson hair, feeling the reassuring warmth.
She carefully examined Fang Qingyu’s complexion, making sure he was in good spirits, and finally felt completely relieved, showing a light yet genuine smile, nodding her head: "Mm."
"What about the others? Are they okay?"
Fang Qingyu lowered his hand, glanced around the room, and asked.
Although he had a rough idea before losing consciousness, confirmation was still necessary.
Jiang Wei turned around, took a bowl of white porridge that had been kept warm from the small wooden table beside her, and stirred it lightly with a spoon. As she answered, her voice was clear and calm: "They’re fine."
"Though they also encountered an ambush, they’re all safe."
"Banng t Bauhinia Association’s President Yan Lin, and the ones who ambushed us were Pantheon’s people, not the mission target. In addition..."
She paused, then scooped a spoonful of appropriately warm porridge, naturally bringing it to Fang Qingyu’s lips and continued, "Banng made the decision to officially invite Lin Yu and the others to join us. The Dawn Squad is ours now. So of them are currently in the Gray Rock District, settled in with the Cyan Dragon Gang."
Fang Qingyu slightly opened his mouth, swallowing the warm porridge, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He quietly listened to Jiang Wei’s concise report.
About Yan Lin’s situation, the destruction of the Bauhinia Association, the challenges posed by the Celestial Punishnt Association, and the plan set by Wei Banng, leveraging the Cyan Dragon Gang to develop from the outskirts.
"...Listening to Banng and President Yan’s plan, our primary goal next is still to strengthen the Cyan Dragon Gang, to have it establish a genuine foothold in the Gray Rock District, with enough power and manpower, to qualify to compete with the people in the city." Jiang Wei finished, scooping up another spoonful of porridge.
Fang Qingyu nodded, swallowing the porridge: "Mm."
This approach actually matched the idea he had when he first arrived.
It was just that the Pantheon interfered, breaking the rhythm.
Just then....
"Hey Qingzi, I heard you woke up, how’re you feeling..."
Chu Kuanglan’s signature booming voice, accompanied by thudding footsteps, was heard approaching through the corridor.
Soon after, the door was pushed open.
Chu Kuanglan’s burly figure was the first to appear at the doorway.
However, when Chu Kuanglan’s gaze instantly caught the scene inside the room.
Chu Kuanglan’s smile imdiately froze.
Almost reflexively, before anyone else could see the situation inside,
he quickly extended his arm.
With a loud bang.
He slamd the door shut that had just cracked open.
Lin Yu and the others outside the door were stunned by his sudden action.
They looked at him in confusion.
Only to see Chu Kuanglan turn around, leaning against the door, his face full of a aningful smile. He cleared his throat and whispered, "Cough cough...umm...Qingzi just woke up, probably still a bit weak."
"Let’s not disturb him for now; we’ll go in later, alright?"
As he spoke, he was pushing Lin Yu and others away.
Lin Yu and the others were startled...
But they didn’t resist either.
Inside the room.
The two also heard the commotion outside the door.
Fang Qingyu rolled his eyes helplessly.
Jiang Wei remained indifferent as if she hadn’t heard anything, her expression unchanged.
Calmly, she scooped another spoonful of porridge and offered it again.
"Open your mouth."
