Chapter 554: 550. Who is the new boss? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

Li Cheng speechlessly swatted his hand away, "I don't have a fever, nor am I muddled; I am talking to you all about something serious."

"If you're not muddled, why are you saying these things? Living a normal life? Boss, what exactly are you thinking?

Can people like us still have a normal life? Don't end up driving yourself crazy." Although Scorpion was the youngest, he understood quite a few principles.

For people like them, returning to a completely normal life was already an impossibility.

Baozi also said, "That's right, Boss. If there's something going on, just say it straight. We're all brothers; there's nothing that needs to be hidden."

Most of the people didn't speak, just quietly looking at Li Cheng; they were not good with words, but they knew their own choices.

"Are you really not leaving? If there is even the slightest mishap this time, we will all be finished. I am not joking with you all," Li Cheng said seriously.

Scorpion let out a strange cry and said, "Boss, you can't be serious. Did you take on a big job and want to ditch us to do it alone? That's too unkind of you, especially after we brothers have been through thick and thin with you."

Li Cheng rolled his eyes at him in annoyance and said, "What are you talking about? I am talking to you all about something serious."

"We aren't joking either, Boss. Just tell us how to do it. Anyway, I've long considered myself dead; being able to live one more day is a bonus," Dushu said indifferently.

The others also nodded one after another to show their agreement.

"What about you all? Besides, you aren't all loners, are you? Some of you have families, especially you, Scorpion. You were forced into this line of work back then. Although you can't return to the country now, you can bring your family out.

No, even if you don't bring them out, as long as you are still alive, you can earn money for your family. Once you die, who will take care of your family?" Li Cheng looked at Scorpion.

In fact, the person he most wanted to leave was Scorpion; he was too young, and he was his compatriot, even a fellow townsman.

Scorpion was silent for a moment and said, "Boss, if I meet with an accident, it's probably fate. Besides, the money I earn that I can actually send back isn't much; those bastards are just too damn exploitative."

Finally, Scorpion cursed in Chinese. They did indeed earn money, but wanting to transfer this money cleanly into the bank cards of their family members was also very troublesome.

The costs involved were no less than the costs of money laundering, and sometimes even more.

And Scorpion didn't want to cause trouble for his family because of this dirty money, so every time he had to pay a high price to send money.

He didn't even dare to send money openly; he needed to go through many channels, all to avoid adding trouble to his family.

He knew clearly what he himself was doing.

The others also nodded, though two people hesitated, but no one blamed them.

Li Cheng looked at the hesitant people and said, "Everyone has followed me for so many years. I guarantee here that there won't be any trouble if you leave this time."

No one spoke, and finally, the two hesitant people spoke up, "Boss, we're sorry."

Li Cheng smiled, stepped forward, and hugged the two of them, saying, "No need to be sorry; it is I who am sorry to you."

In the end, the two chose to leave. Their team was finally left with eleven people. This was the entire membership of their organization; although the number was small, each one was the elite of the elite.

"Big Boss, tell us, what kind of big job did you take, and how much money?" Scorpion said impatiently.

Li Cheng said, "I don't know how much money either."

"Huh? Boss, you aren't playing with me, are you? I thought it was some huge job," Scorpion said speechlessly.

Li Cheng said, "But I can guarantee that the money this time will definitely not be little. And just like you, Scorpion, at that time this money will be given directly to your family, and your family will even be looked after."

Scorpion was stunned, then seemed to think of something, "Is the boss this time from the country?"

Li Cheng just nodded, not saying anything specific.

"This time it counts as my personal action; after all, I haven't even contacted the boss yet. But I believe he won't refuse, and I will also fight for more benefits for you all.

But this time is also very dangerous, not just as simple as dealing with Whale Shark; or rather, Whale Shark is just an appetizer in this operation," Li Cheng said.

At this, everyone looked at Li Cheng in shock.

Having fought with Whale Shark for so many years, they naturally understood Whale Shark's strength.

Now Li Cheng was telling them that Whale Shark was just an appetizer?

What kind of job had they actually taken this time?

If it were true, then Li Cheng saying that if they met with an accident this time it would mean total annihilation wasn't scaring them, but was the truth.

"Bo... Boss, I suddenly have some regrets." Scorpion felt himself starting to stutter.

Li Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth, seemingly wanting to smile but unable to, "You can also choose not to do it now, really, I am not joking with everyone."

Scorpion rubbed his cheeks and said, "Boss, I was joking with you. But can that boss be trusted?"

The others also looked at Li Cheng; never mind whether it was dangerous or not, getting paid after finishing the work was what mattered.

Hearing this, Li Cheng seemed to fall into memories, and only after a long while did he say, "How should I put it? You all trusting him is much better than trusting me."

Scorpion said with a smile, "Boss, what kind of joke are you telling?"

"I am not joking with you."

Scorpion stopped talking; he was becoming increasingly curious about what kind of person this boss was.

However, he also knew that he probably wouldn't be able to meet the boss; this was also considered a rule in their line of work.

Li Cheng had stated the dangers and everything, but just hadn't mentioned the price, yet no one left again. It could also be seen that these people following Li Cheng were not entirely for the money, and for most, it wasn't even because of the money.

After they all left, Li Cheng kept Xiezi and said to him, "If you still trust me, I will tell your family's information to the boss this time; money can be paid in advance here."

After finishing, Li Cheng added, "And... forget it, let's just survive first."

Xiezi took a deep breath and said, "Boss, I trust you."

Li Cheng knew all of Xiezi's information because Xiezi always sent money through him.

"Although this is some of my personal business this time, as long as you all can survive this time, you won't have to work so hard in the future," Li Cheng said, patting Xiezi on the shoulder.

Xiezi smiled and said, "Boss, I am becoming more and more curious about this boss's identity, and what relationship he has with you?"

Li Cheng said, "If you want to know, you can; you will know if you can survive after this time. This is also the only thing I can do for you."
