Chapter 20

【Third update~~】

【014】 Lin Yu's decision, Yu Shengde purchasing weapons at Tulong Gang. 【4 updates】

Lin Yu flipped through the documents before him.

His gaze.

Suddenly stopped on one business.

"Wait…"

"Adult toys…"

His eyes turned to Ming Xiao.

Ming Xiao's expression turned a little awkward: "These were all set up by Sunny before."

"Although what they sell is that sort of thing, they also sell some weapons and the like. To put it bluntly, it's actually a weapons shop too — handguns and such are all for sale."

Lin Yu: "…"

"Shut it down."

These loss-making businesses don't need to keep running, especially now that Tulong Gang is short on manpower and short on weapons, and still selling to outsiders…

This Sunny.

Is an absolute idiot, selling weapons for money.

Lin Yu continued looking at the documents.

"As for businesses like the bar, suspend them for now, then recruit people as fast as possible."

Lin Yu planned to first consolidate these businesses.

"However…"

Ming Xiao's expression grew somewhat ugly.

"There's no money left in the accounts."

"That bastard Sunny spent way too much. Right now, once the settlement money for the Tulong Gang brothers on Tai'an Street is paid out from the public ledger, there's basically nothing left in the accounts."

Before Lin Yu.

Was a dilemma.

No money.

No people.

"Recruit however many you can for now."

"I'll think about the funding problem."

Even Lin Yu, who always wore a calm expression, felt a bit of a headache looking at this ledger.

He had plenty of ideas.

Starting from being the boss, every business would certainly be involved. Right now, although it wasn't bringing in money, Tulong Gang would definitely beat Heigou Gang. Once things stabilized, it would be time to develop each business. By then, Lin Yu would have a lot he could do, and there would be many ways to make money.

To put it bluntly.

Even in this era, martial artists still need to eat. With money, you can recruit powerful enough martial artists to serve you.

And most importantly.

Once funds were sufficient, many of Lin Yu's ideas could be realized — for example, partnering with the main weapons station to develop new weapons to deal with stronger enemies, and so on, all of which could be done.

But right now, these accounts were a mess, restricting Lin Yu at every turn.

So.

He could only take it one step at a time.

First solve the loan shark problem, set aside some funds — that was the key to resolving the current predicament. As for how to solve it, it seemed he still had to think it over.

Late at night.

Tai'an Street.

A secluded spot.

A figure in a coat, wearing sunglasses and a hat, appeared here. After looking left and right and confirming no one had spotted him, he quickly walked into the alley.

At the end of the alley was a shop.

But just as he reached it, he noticed the people inside the shop were moving things out.

"Wh-what's going on?"

"Why are you closing up?"

The figure was somewhat startled.

"Don't even mention it…"

"Our boss shut this place down. It won't reopen."

A Tulong Gang member said.

"Here's what you asked for last time."

After saying that.

He signaled another person to bring out a box from inside.

"This is the rope, knife, and stun baton you wanted. We're not selling handguns anymore, so there's no way to get one for you."

"You're a teacher — why are you buying this stuff?"

The Tulong Gang member sized up the figure before him.

"…I haven't been a teacher for a long time."

At the mention of it, the figure's tone turned icy.

"Your boss…"

"How could it suddenly shut down?"

He was a little puzzled.

"Because we've got a new boss."

A Tulong Gang underling said casually.

"Look…"

"That's our new boss."

"Brother Yanwang."

He looked into the distance, his calm expression gradually turning to reverence.

In the distance.

On another street at the end of the alley was a bar. A figure walked out of that bar, followed quietly by several Tulong Gang members. The figure had a tall, upright build, wore a black Zhongshan-style jacket over a white shirt, held a cigarette between his fingers, and walked out with a calm expression.

His features looked delicate and refined, yet there was a trace of coldness about him—especially those eyes, which made anyone who glanced at them feel uneasy at heart.

Behind him were several Tulong Gang underlings.

Arriving in front of a black sedan, one underling opened the car door; the figure got in directly, then quickly walked toward another black sedan.

Three cars left, one in front and one behind.

"Brother Yanwang…"

The figure swallowed hard.

The head of the Tulong Gang.

The Tulong Gang had territory in every city, and many people had heard of them. These heads, in their eyes, were lofty, unattainable existences—just one glance would make a person feel uneasy and fearful.

This was…

The suppression of status and rank!

Especially for those involved in the underworld, they felt both fear and anger.

The figure silently took the case and left.

"Who is this guy?"

Another underling looked at another Tulong Gang underling.

"Don't know."

"Seems his name is Yu Yu Shengde, used to be a teacher at Sunshine High School. Someone recommended him to come buy some rope, stun batons, knives, and a handgun, but Brother Yanwang isn't selling weapons now."

Another underling shook his head.

"What does a teacher want this stuff for…"
