Chen Ling slowly wiped her tears, then stared at Xiao Huan and said, \"Who is this little girl? Where did she come from? Why is she speaking so badly? Who is shameless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This girl, she was brought by Yang Yun. It seems her relationship with Yang Yun is not simple!\" Before Xiao Huan and I could speak, Third Brother spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Third Brother's words, Chen Ling and Zhang Yinuo both looked at Xiao Huan suspiciously, curious about what her relationship with me was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Xiao Huan also proudly said to the two women, \"I am Brother Yang Yun's wife, my name is Zheng Huan. You'd better stay away from Brother Yang Yun. Brother Yang Yun doesn't like you, he only likes me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling heard Zheng Huan's words, and was so angry she pinched the little girl's mouth and said, \"Just you, little one, still want to be Brother Yang Yun's wife? Don't daydream, he is mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the little one, your whole family is little. I'm not little, I'm very big!\" Xiao Huan hated people saying she was little the most, and was so angry she puffed out her chest and shook it in front of Chen Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a voice suddenly came, \"Yo, it's so lively here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this voice, my heart ached. This person was none other than Old Five, Zhang Wu. Seeing his fat body, I hugged him excitedly. Zhang Wu patted my back and said, \"Fourth Brother, long time no see! You're still alive, this is really too good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled and patted Zhang Wu's stomach and said, \"In these few months, your stomach is still so big. You should lose weight, otherwise, it will be difficult to walk in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, why did you come so late!\" I blamed Old Five angrily. You know, Old Five never used to be late before, but today he came so late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came from home. Ever since you had the incident, Fourth Brother, I haven't been going to school here, but went back to follow my father to learn how to manage business! I came specially from N City. I've been fast enough, okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Wu's words, I only then understood that he was no longer here, which made me sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We finally met again. However, although this was the case, a group of people at the table didn't speak as freely as before. Old Five's speech became exceptionally cautious, and Zhang Yinuo still didn't make a sound, seemingly having something on her mind. Only Chen Ling and Xiao Huan were arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meal didn't have the effect I expected at all. For a time, I found that everyone seemed to have grown up, and they all had their own thoughts. I didn't find anyone to ask about what happened a few months ago. For a time, this meal was quite awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, I originally wanted to go play somewhere else, but Zhang Yinuo and Chen Ling both had classes in the afternoon, so they went back. As for Old Five, I called him to stay and prepared to chat with him. But Third Brother indicated on the side that he wanted to follow. Actually, I wasn't very willing to be with Third Brother, because if Third Brother and Old Five were both there, not necessarily everyone would tell the truth. I felt that only by separating them and asking one by one could I ask about the specific things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said to Third Brother, \"Third Brother, didn't you say you had things to do in the afternoon before? Hurry up and go, if you're late, you might delay your business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, my business is not urgent. We brothers haven't gathered for a long time, let's chat together!\" Third Brother didn't intend to leave at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this situation, I frowned, and Old Five's expression was also a bit displeased, so he said to Third Brother, \"Third Brother, Fourth Brother and I have some things to say, you go and be busy with your business first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What things are so important that you don't even want to tell me, your Third Brother?\" Third Brother looked at Old Five with a gloomy expression and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing, Third Brother, you're overthinking it. I'm just chatting with Fourth Brother, nothing!\" Old Five said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Third Brother had no choice, so he snorted coldly and left. I took Xiao Huan and Old Five and walked on the road. Old Five only then opened his mouth after Third Brother was out of sight, \"Fourth Brother, are you looking for me to ask about Third Brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't speak yet, it's not safe here!\" I said to him in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wu turned his head suspiciously and looked, then exclaimed, \"Could it be that there are people here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Brother sent people to watch me. We are still under Third Brother's surveillance now. You follow behind me, let's go quickly!\" I took Xiao Huan and Old Five and walked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after a while, Old Five and I hurriedly found a place to start talking. I looked around and confirmed again and again that there were no Third Brother's eyes and ears, and then started to say to Old Five, \"Alright, there's no one here, it's okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received my confirmation, Old Five nodded and said, \"It seems Fourth Brother already knows something, otherwise you wouldn't have known. Speaking of which, is Third Brother still arranging eyes and ears to watch you now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Brother has made me increasingly strange recently, making me feel that he has completely changed into a different person, to the point I don't even recognize him. It's not that I blame myself for suspecting him, he actually sent people to follow me. Yesterday at his place, there were actually people monitoring us, which makes me feel particularly strange. What exactly happened in these few months? And what happened after I fell into the moat before? I feel that everyone has their own thoughts today, which makes me feel that they are all strangers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, I also feel that Third Brother has changed a lot. He has completely changed into a different person, using any means to achieve his goals. And he doesn't talk about brotherly righteousness at all now, and doesn't put us brothers in his eyes at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, what exactly happened after I fell into the moat? Why did Third Brother suddenly become so powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ever since you fell into the moat, we looked for you for a long time, but there was no news. At that time, Sister Ling and Sister Shuang were both furious and kept sending people to look for you. Later, they went to find trouble with the Li family and supported Third Brother to take the top position. The reason Third Brother can be so powerful now is inseparable from Sister Ling and the others. And at that time, after I saw that I couldn't find you, I didn't want to stay here anymore, so I went back to follow my father to learn about business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listening to this, it seems it really is Sister Ling and Sister Shuang. But are Sister Ling and Sister Shuang so powerful? Third Brother's place now is also too terrifying, I heard it's tens of millions. Where did he get so much money? Did Sister Ling and Sister Shuang give it to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This doesn't seem to be the case. I heard that Third Brother often touches some business now, which is the business in the underworld. It's not a good job. Now the government has already set their eyes on him. Sister Shuang and Sister Ling have persuaded him before, but he didn't listen. And this guy, ever since he became the boss, has increasingly not put us people in his eyes!\" ===== CHAPTER 218 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-11T15:09:04.688Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","db1ba8274b457874408684e40c57d6578e53d52a8d33f8957a67ebdd2a4bf5aa","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-218","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-216",227,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-warlord-cover.jpg"]
