Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 162 - 162 158 Incorporating Lu Chengqiang

162: Chapter 158: Incorporating Lu Chengqiang 162: Chapter 158: Incorporating Lu Chengqiang Ye Fan said thoughtfully, “You know the origins of my identity, I cannot always be in the Dragon Group in the future.”

“Mm, I know.

You’re destined to achieve great things, a person with the responsibility of carrying on a legacy,” Lu Chengqiang nodded.

“There will come a day when my identity will shift from the shadows to the light,” Ye Fan said.

“I’ve never feared enemies that confront me openly, but I am worried about those who seem to be friends yet are enemies, stabbing me in the back.”

“Strong, you’re the person I trust the most.

I hope that after you retire, you can become my right-hand man!”

Lu Chengqiang’s eyes lit up, his vitality suddenly returned, and he said excitedly, “Boss, I’m willing to die for you!

What do you want me to do?”

Seeing Lu Chengqiang’s revived spirit, Ye Fan felt both happy and guilty.

He paused, then continued, “After you retire, run a large bar.

I’ve already secured a decent one for you, I believe you’ll be satisfied with it.”

“Boss, are you playing with me?” Lu Chengqiang said weakly.

“How can running a bar be of any help to you?

Although I’ve mentioned before that I wanted to own a bar, your arrangement seems to be just sorting out my life, not a mission.”

Ye Fan shook his head with a faint smile, “You’re thinking too simply.

Bars are places where all sorts of people mix, a hub of information, and often you can find out many things others don’t know.

By having you run a bar, you’ll be helping me stay hidden in society and build an intelligence system that is completely loyal to me.

Knowing both ourselves and the enemy, we can win every battle.

So, in the future, you’ll not only run a bar but also nightclubs, KTV, and other entertainment venues.”

“You will be my eyes in the future!” Ye Fan said to Lu Chengqiang with a serious tone.

“Become the boss’s eyes?” Lu Chengqiang said with disbelief, then was invigorated all over, jumped off the bed, and shouted, “Boss, I accept this mission!

I will apply for retirement right away.

Haha, the thought of the days to come is so exciting and thrilling!”

Watching Lu Chengqiang so excited and invigorated, Ye Fan inwardly felt guilty; this idea was something he’d just thought of on the spur of the moment.

But seeing Lu Chengqiang cheered up, he could only play along; who knows, perhaps this unplanned act might bear fruit unexpectedly.

“Heh, no need to rush too much.

This is a meticulous job, not like grabbing a machine gun and spraying bullets haphazardly,” he said with a smile.

Lu Chengqiang immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, this sounds very challenging, harder than fighting a war.”

“However, I have one absolute prohibition: whether it’s running a bar, nightclub, or club, strictly no drug | trafficking, forcing women into prostitution, or other illegal activities!” Ye Fan stated sternly.

Lu Chengqiang immediately promised seriously, “Yes!

We can’t become criminals against the people once we take off the military uniform!”

…

…

After half-past five in the afternoon, Ye Fan left the 411 Military Hospital to fulfill his promise of treating Yang Yongxi, Xie Junru, and others to a meal.

Ye Fan intended to pick up Lu Xiaoman, but she absolutely refused to come, so he had to give up and drove directly to the hotel he had booked.

At six-thirty, when everyone had arrived, the meal officially began.

Throughout the meal, everyone had a good time, Yang Yongxi, Xie Junru, and the others did not hold back in toasting and flattering Ye Fan at the table.

Ye Fan was neither pleased nor displeased with the flattering and fawning from Yang Yongxi, Xie Junru, and others.

After all, this was human nature, and he was not the type to be indignant at the ways of the world.

More than an hour later, the meal ended, and they moved on to playing at the KTV.

Cade KTV, the reservation for the private room had been made by a phone call from Sun Dongwen last time.

Arriving at Cade KTV, Ye Fan looked up at the exterior decoration of the KTV, above average, not too expensive.

Sun Dongwen chuckled from the side, “Ye Brother, how’s this KTV?”

“Yep, not bad.

Thanks,” Ye Fan nodded.

“You’re too polite,” Sun Dongwen grinned.

“It’s just a matter of making a phone call to book it.

We should be thanking you for treating us to this outing.

Don’t you guys agree?”

His last sentence was directed at everyone else.

Yang Yongxi, Xie Junru, and the others immediately laughed in unison, “Right!”

Ye Fan shook his head with a smile, “Let’s head inside.”

A chorus of cheers erupted from the group as they clustered around Ye Fan and entered the reception hall of K-Delight KTV.

After entering the hall, Ye Fan and Sun Dongwen walked up to the counter to pick up their reserved private room and settled the bill, while Lu Xiaoman, Xie Junru, and the rest waited nearby.

On a sofa not far from them in the lobby, lounging about, two ruffians were seated.

One of them, with squinty eyes, suddenly pointed at Lu Xiaoman and said to his companion, “That chick is hot, I really like her.”

“Without a doubt, I like her too, such a stunningly beautiful chick!” his companion, wearing a black tank top with a tiger tattoo on his left shoulder, chimed in.

“I’ve decided, I’m going to hit on her!” the squinty-eyed ruffian declared, and stood up immediately to head towards Lu Xiaoman.

The tiger-tattooed ruffian was taken aback.

Although they were quite brazen, they hadn’t gone this far before; after all, that girl wasn’t alone, she had entered with three men.

Ye Fan finished swiping his card and had just taken his bank card back when he heard the scolding voices of his companions behind him.

“Damn it, can’t be this unlucky, right?

Every time I go to KTV with Sister Xiaoman, Xie Junru, and the others, we run into hooligans harassing us.”

Cursing under his breath, Ye Fan turned around and, sure enough, he saw two thugs grinning foolishly in front of Lu Xiaoman.

Despite Yang Yongxi standing right there, the squinty-eyed thug unfazed, continued to brazenly hit on Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman looked both angry and hurt, pitiful in a way that really tugged at the heartstrings.

Ye Fan quickly strode forward, stood between them, and said with a stern face, “Get lost if you don’t want to die!”

He was truly angry.

This was the second time he had gone to KTV with Lu Xiaoman, and the second time they had encountered thug harassment.

He almost wished he could wipe out all the thugs in the city.

The tiger-tattooed thug, seeing the tall and robust Ye Fan with a fierce look that was truly intimidating, suddenly felt weak in the knees.

He tugged at the squinty-eyed ruffian’s clothes and whispered, “Squinty, let’s go.”

But unexpectedly, Squinty ignored his companion’s advice and instead, insolently stepped forward with his arms akimbo, looked up arrogantly, and shouted, “Kid, it’s none of your business that I want to hit on this beauty!

If you know what’s good for you, kneel down and apologize, then scram!”

“Ha ha ha…” Ye Fan laughed out of extreme anger and suddenly kicked out.

Ah—

With a scream, Squinty flew two to three meters, tumbling to the ground.

Seeing this, the tiger-tattooed thug dared not rush forward to fight Ye Fan to the death, and instead quickly turned and ran to help Squinty up.

Squinty, helped up by the tiger-tattooed thug, glared hatefully at Ye Fan and, pointing at him, yelled, “I’ll remember you, I know where you live!

You just wait, I’ll definitely chop up your entire family!”

After saying that, he and the tiger-tattooed thug escaped from the KTV hall in a wretched manner.
