Chapter 337: Sincerity is the strongest ultimate move! Borrowing a fire!

Xiao Mo acted as if she hadn't heard, taking a medical kit out from under the counter.

She then trotted over and said earnestly, "You were injured because of me; I have to take care of it now that I've seen it."

Huh!

Such familiar words.

Su Yang felt like he had heard the exact same thing somewhere before.

Lin Yang refused with his mouth, but his body was very honest.

He just stood there grinning foolishly, his eyes fixed on the young woman's face.

Xiao Mo gave a coquettish scold, "What are you looking at?"

"You're really pretty," Lin Yang said as such.

"Stop messing around..."

A heartfelt compliment directly made the girl's face turn bright red.

In this city filled with violence, sin, and schemes, Lin Yang's straightforwardness had instead become a rarity.

Coupled with his heroic performance just now, he had unknowingly left an indelible impression in the depths of Xiao Mo's heart.

Sincerity—is the greatest ultimate move.

"Alright, remember to protect the wound after you go back, don't let it touch water," Xiao Mo exhorted.

Lin Yang stood in front of the full-length mirror in the clothing store, looked himself over, and gave a thumbs up: "Your technique is really good, are you a medical student?"

"Mm, I'm a nurse at the South City Hospital," Xiao Mo nodded slightly.

Lin Yang turned around and smiled, "My name is Lin Yang, come find me at No. 1 Liuhe Street if you need anything!"

"Thank you both for your help today," Xiao Mo gave a sweet smile.

This pure smile left Lin Yang stunned, as if he were in a dream.

"Stop looking, let's go," Su Yang dragged him outside.

"Take care," Xiao Mo came to the door to see them off.

"Remember to find me if you need anything!" Lin Yang waved goodbye reluctantly, then added another sentence: "You can come find me even if you don't need anything!"

Su Yang couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, "Fool."

Lin Yang touched his hair and asked, "How was my performance just now? Was I super cool?"

"Not bad, you had a bit of a heroic air."

"Do you think she's fallen for me?" Lin Yang laughed infatuatedly.

"What? You want to complete the life milestone of marriage and having children inside the game?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

Once these words were spoken, the look of fighting spirit in Lin Yang's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Indeed, as players, they were merely passersby in this world.

They were in a game, while these people were experiencing a complete life.

Getting emotionally involved here was not only irresponsible to them, but also irresponsible to himself.

If he wanted to, he could completely get involved, and then just walk away.

But Lin Yang was not that kind of person.

He believed that a man should not only stand tall, but also shoulder heavy responsibilities.

If one couldn't do that, then one shouldn't make promises lightly.

"To be honest, are you jealous of my popularity with women?" Lin Yang changed the subject.

Su Yang said with a wry smile, "Yeah, I'm green with envy."

"Although I'm not as tall or handsome as you, I'm also very manly, alright," Lin Yang said proudly.

Su Yang was noncommittal about this; Lin Yang indeed possessed a unique personal charisma.

This was something ordinary people couldn't compare to.

This was also the reason why he was willing to stay with him.

He possessed a heart of innocence and had no ulterior motives.

When the two walked past two blocks, Lin Yang suddenly looked left and right mysteriously.

"What's wrong?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"I just swiped some gold from a Liuhe Association member," Lin Yang chuckled and pulled a stack of banknotes from his pocket.

Su Yang reached out to take them, counted them, and said in surprise, "Five thousand?"

"Just a casual act," Lin Yang waved his hand.

The average monthly salary for ordinary citizens in Jinshan City was three thousand.

This bunch of people had secretly skimmed so much just by collecting protection fees from a few shops.

It was indeed a lucrative business.

No wonder the Liuhe Association could maintain itself until now just by relying on this.

"Collecting protection fees is already this profitable, then how rich must the large gangs be?" Su Yang was secretly shocked.

Looking at it this way, the Liuhe Association still had a long way to go.

If they wanted to become the strongest gang, financial power was an indispensable link.

"By the way, did you push me out to take the fall just now?" Lin Yang asked suspiciously.

After the storm had settled, Lin Yang suddenly realized that the incident just now wasn't that simple.

The reason Su Yang didn't step in to save the person wasn't because he didn't want to, but to use Lin Yang's hand to make the justification sufficient.

This was what they called having a legitimate reason.

Without a sufficient reason, stepping in would bring him a hundred harms and no benefits.

"Smart," Su Yang smiled slightly, "I couldn't tell, your brainpower has grown recently, you've learned to think about problems."

"I knew it..." Lin Yang said with some resentment.

He clearly could have said it directly, yet he still had to use this method.

"Don't overthink it, I just wanted to see if there was any tacit understanding between us, and I also wanted to see what choice you would make under unfavorable conditions," Su Yang patted his shoulder.

"Actually, I didn't consider too much at the time, I just felt that if I didn't save her, the me of tomorrow would definitely blame the me of today," Lin Yang said.

"You've grown..."

"Cut it out!" Lin Yang laughed and scolded.

"However..." Su Yang frowned slightly, "This accident seems to have stumbled upon a big conspiracy."

"What?"

"Liu Dong isn't stupid, there must be a reason why he dared to condone his subordinates doing this," Su Yang said slowly.

"Xiao Mo?" Lin Yang reacted immediately.

"It's more likely her father," Su Yang speculated, "Think about it, why would people from the Liuhe Association hang out and drink with an ordinary clothing store owner?"

"Could it be that... Xu Liang took a fancy to Xiao Mo, so he used the opportunity to get him drunk and bring up the marriage contract?" Lin Yang asked.

"It's possible, but that's only the surface reason," Su Yang nodded.

"What's the underlying reason?"

"I don't know, I always feel there's something fishy about this, find a time to keep an eye on it."

"Okay."

The previous few times they collected protection fees, they were straightforward with no buildup.

But when they reached the clothing store, they acted contrary to their usual behavior and engaged in harassment.

Xiao Mo was young and beautiful, giving people a feeling of purity and flawlessness, which was indeed very likable.

But Liu Dong openly allowed his subordinates to do this, which didn't fit his character and style.

Just for the sake of female beauty...

This kind of low-level trick and style didn't fit what a mature gang member would do.

"You beat up Liu Dong, this matter definitely won't end well, what do you plan to do next?" Lin Yang asked.

"A group of dragons cannot be without a leader, the struggle will begin after the 'Gold Touching' ends."

"I want to sit in that position, but with my current prestige and accumulation, the possibility is zero," Su Yang said.

"Then what should we do?" Lin Yang asked worriedly.

"We still need to borrow a fire, a fire that can burn away all their reason and greed!" A sharp light flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

"Is there enough time? Now..." Lin Yang hadn't finished speaking when he saw a large group of people dressed in black suddenly pouring out from the front.

They were all holding clubs in their hands, and their brows were filled with a fierce aura.

The logo of a surging wave was hanging on the left chest of their clothes.

"People from the Donghai Hall?" Lin Yang was shocked!

"They come with ill intent," Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

This group of people pressed forward step by step, Su Yang subconsciously looked back and saw another group of people pouring out from the end of the street.

Lin Yang saw the logo, and his expression changed, "Mingguang Building?!"

The two major enemies of the Liuhe Association had gathered here, and coincidentally blocked Su Yang's way back.

The leading man from the Donghai Hall put on a spring-breeze-like smile and said loudly, "Brother, you are handsome and imposing, you must be the son of the Liuhe Association leader, right?"

"Our Donghai Hall has always been hospitable, Boss Cheng would like to invite you for a cup of tea, would you do us the honor?"

Lin Yang counted them, lowered his voice and said, "Forty-seven people in total on both sides."

"What a grand formation," Su Yang looked at them for a moment and smiled with relief:

"The fire we need to borrow..."

"Has arrived!" ===== CHAPTER 338 =====
