420: Chapter 420 Just Tell Your Brother If You’re Out of Money 420: Chapter 420 Just Tell Your Brother If You’re Out of Money When Xiang Yu asked about it, Jiang Chao didn’t hide anything and said, “Boss, you let our brothers open stores, and I also found a few.

The business is decent.

But we now have more and more people, if we don’t continue to expand, we’ll run out of food.

If that happens, we’ll have to go back to the old ways.

Some of the brothers have already suggested extorting protection money, but I’ve held it off.”

“Our current funds are tight.

I heard that the owner of this store is a sleazy guy.

After digging into it, I found out about his vile acts, and that’s why I came here, planning to take over this place and open an entertainment venue.”

Jiang Chao quickly laid out his plan, to sum it up, he was out of money, but he had to expand.

That was why he was taking a shortcut, targeting this store.

Xiang Yu understood Jiang Chao’s predicament, as he had assigned him this task, and Jiang Chao was trying his best to carry it out.

They used to live by violence, and now that they were doing business, they couldn’t completely transition right away.

“You’re doing great.

Don’t worry about the finances, I’ll handle it.

This place is good, make sure it’s done well,” Xiang Yu said, then took out his phone and called Sun Bo.

Sun Bo was in charge of financial power, so any money matters naturally had to go through him.

“Yu, what’s up?” Sun Bo said in a busy tone.

Ever since Sun Bo took on the financial authority, he had been nonstop.

Negotiating and interacting with clients every day.

It has to be said, Sun Bo had a talent for this.

The entire company’s operations were well-ordered under his management, and the turnover naturally kept climbing.

“Jiang Chao and his crew are short of money.

Send them some,” Xiang Yu commanded.

“No problem.

Once I’m finished with this, I’ll send it over in the evening,” Sun Bo replied decisively.

Xiang Yu didn’t ask how much, then hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Chao, “If you can’t make ends meet in the future, call me, and I’ll figure something out.”

Jiang Chao nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He had followed the boss before, but no one had been like Xiang Yu.

Usually, the money flowed from the brothers to the organization.

But now, Xiang Yu was directly taking money out to support them.

It seemed as though money was like waste paper to Xiang Yu, too much of it being of no use.

With Xiang Yu’s support, Jiang Chao and his team’s work would naturally flourish.

If the economy got going, they wouldn’t go out and cause trouble anymore, and that was part of Xiang Yu’s plan.

As Xiang Yu was preparing to leave, Jiang Chao came up to him and whispered, “Boss, Luo Lin and his men are investigating Octopus’s matter.

You need to hurry up as well.”

The competition between Xiang Yu and Luo Lin was already the talk of the town, especially among the organization’s internal members who were all looking forward to their performance.

The rule set by Zhong Huashan was that when the two completed tasks, they had to go in person, their actions representing themselves, not the organization.

However, information gathering could be delegated to their subordinates.

Seeing that Xiang Yu wasn’t in a rush, casually strolling around, Jiang Chao reminded him.

Xiang Yu hadn’t involved them in these matters, so Jiang Chao didn’t dare to inquire further.

“Don’t worry, there are still six days left.

That’s plenty of time,” Xiang Yu reassured.

Xiang Yu’s confidence comforted Jiang Chao, as everything seemed manageable before the big brother.

They had blind trust in Xiang Yu, firmly believing he would definitely defeat Luo Lin.

However, their firm belief didn’t mean others were optimistic about Xiang Yu.

Most people in the organization still thought Luo Lin would win.

Because Luo Lin was a local, he understood the local powers well and knew much more about the complex relationships between the major powers than Xiang Yu did, not to mention he also had Ding Yongwei’s support.

Xiang Yu could have garnered Miao Honglei’s support, but he didn’t plan on it.

He didn’t approach Miao Honglei, and naturally, Miao Honglei didn’t come looking for Xiang Yu either.

In fact, Miao Honglei really wanted to offer his support to Xiang Yu, after all, Xiang Yu was one of their own.

If Xiang Yu could become the head of the bodyguards, that would certainly be much better than Luo Lin.

Miao Honglei had already gathered a lot of information about Tie Sanjiang, just waiting for Xiang Yu to come and seek his help.

But as a day passed by, Xiang Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Miao Honglei also had his pride, so since Xiang Yu wouldn’t come to seek help from him, he naturally would not make the first move.

After all, for now, Xiang Yu was still under him, and he had to maintain the demeanor of a “big brother.”

In recent times, Xiang Yu’s behavior had been very unsatisfactory to Miao Honglei.

If it weren’t for the fact that Xiang Yu was still making money for him, he would have stripped Xiang Yu of his squad leader position long ago.

But now he couldn’t do that, not only could he not demote him, but he also had to accommodate Xiang Yu.

Because there was a chance Xiang Yu could become the head of the bodyguards.

Once that happened, his status would be no different from his own, or even surpass him.

Although the possibility was small, it could not be ignored.

It would be good if it happened, but if Xiang Yu failed, he would let Xiang Yu know that the dignity of him as a “big brother” was not to be challenged.

The relationship between Xiang Yu and Miao Honglei was very delicate at the moment.

Twice, Miao Honglei wanted Xiang Yu to go on missions, but both times Xiang Yu had lied about feeling unwell to refuse.

Actually, he was not afraid of Miao Honglei removing his position as the small team’s leader, because the brothers under him were his own, not members of the organization.

Most of the people under him now knew only Xiang Yu and not Miao Honglei.

This was a qualitative change.

If Miao Honglei knew about this, he would probably be furious.

When Xiang Yu and his two companions returned to the hotel, it was already nine o’clock in the evening.

Long Wu hadn’t rested, still sitting there waiting for the three of them.

Upon seeing the trio return, she stood up somewhat happily, but her face remained as cold as ever.

“Why didn’t you come back for dinner?” Long Wu said.

The trio gave an awkward smile; it was Long Wu who had said not to come back for dinner, and judging by her expression at that time, she seemed to be serious.

And now she was blaming them for not coming back.

Indeed, the thoughts of a woman were impossible for a man to fathom.

Xiang Yu couldn’t guess, Xiao Xuan wouldn’t try to guess, and as for Tie Zhuzi, well, there was even less need to mention him.

The three men stood there foolishly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Seeing the three of them looking so clueless, Long Wu could only shake her head helplessly and then said, “You guys rest first, I’ll go warm up the food for you.”

The trio indeed hadn’t eaten, and their stomachs were now growling.

It had to be said, having a woman take care of them was such a wonderful thing – to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and if they were also provided with a warm bed, that would be even better.

Just as Xiang Yu and the others were waiting for their meal, Xiang Yu’s phone rang.

It was Wang Ze calling.

Initially, Xiang Yu had assigned Wang Ze the task of investigating everything about Tie Sanjiang within two days.

Now, not even a day had gone by; could it be that he had already finished the investigation…
