Chapter 146: Exchanging a Few Blows

Chapter 146: Sparring a Little

“Zheng Yi, you fool! You don’t actually want someone to come and assassinate you for no reason, do you?” Zhang Wei grinned as he looked at Zheng Yi. “Be smart—only Feng Ge could pull something like that off. Nobody else can. And think about who Feng Ge is—a man as cool as him. Whether it’s a crime of passion or a money-related killing, that’s possible. But you, Zheng Yi? You’ve got no face and no money. Who would bother assassinating you for no reason?”

“Damn it, Zhang Wei, don’t be so disrespectful! I may not be as cool as Feng Ge, but I’m still a decent-looking guy with a good presence, alright?” Zheng Yi retorted with a scornful look. “And you should take a look in the mirror before you talk. We’re pretty much on the same level.”

Ye Feng was about to faint. Were these guys nuts? Inviting someone to come and assassinate them when they had nothing better to do? This was a last resort, not something anyone wanted. No matter how skilled you are, you still fear a kitchen knife. “Seriously, do you guys really think like that? Who actually hopes someone will come assassinate them?” Ye Feng spat at Zhang Wei and Zheng Yi.

“Feng, Feng Ge, we’re just learning from you, trying to follow your example!” Zhang Wei pouted, unwilling to back down. It seemed Feng Ge almost looked forward to someone coming to assassinate him so he could profit from it. Zheng Yi quickly chimed in, “Yeah, yeah, Feng Ge, that’s exactly what you want!”

“Are you guys serious about learning from me? Why don’t you practice your skills instead? Go on, get to training!” Ye Feng kicked at the two of them. These guys were getting cuter by the day, but Ye Feng felt that his brothers were really starting to get the vibe now.

In the following days, Ye Feng remained calm. Although he went for a run every morning, no one dared to cause him trouble. Occasionally, he felt eyes watching him, but whenever he looked closely, there was no one there. It made Ye Feng feel uneasy.

“Whatever!” Ye Feng chuckled to himself and headed toward Xing Feng Security Company. It had become a habit to check in every day, to see how everyone was doing and check on the business. Thanks to the company’s growing reputation, business was finally picking up.

“Good morning, Feng Ge!” As Ye Feng entered, everyone greeted him warmly, and he responded politely. “Is Chu Yun upstairs now?” Ye Feng glanced at Xiao Qi, who was busy at work. Xiao Qi immediately put down what he was doing. “Yes, Brother Yun is in the manager’s office upstairs.”

“Alright, thanks for your hard work, everyone. Don’t forget to have breakfast later!” Ye Feng smiled and left. He had instructed everyone to treat each other like brothers to foster closeness and make communication easier.

Upstairs, Ye Feng asked about the company’s recent situation. Chu Yun smiled as he reported that business was steadily improving, with revenue on the rise. Security work was risky but the income was promising.

“Good. Keep up the effort. If you face any shortages in funds or resources, tell me. I’ll find a way to solve it,” Ye Feng said with a smile. Chu Yun was surprisingly competent at management, and Chen Xiang was handling finances—both trusted brothers, so there was no need to worry.

“Yes, Feng Ge, don’t worry. We haven’t encountered any difficulties yet. Zhen Hua has recruited many elites, veterans, and experienced security guards. The talent pool is strong,” Chu Yun explained. Liu Zhen Hua’s keen eye for people was finally paying off. Chu Yun and Chen Xiang personally tested the new recruits—they were skilled, reliable, and loyal, which was crucial.

“That’s the best. Since we’ve taken this job, we must be determined to succeed. Otherwise, we’d be cheating ourselves after all the hard work,” Ye Feng said solemnly. He felt increasingly that only by becoming stronger could he better protect his family and the woman he loved.

“Feng Ge, rest assured. Zhen Hua, Chen Xiang, and I swear to follow you to the end. Wherever you point, that’s where we fight,” Chu Yun declared. After years of shared trials, Ye Feng had naturally become the core of the group. Everyone obeyed him.

Hearing this, Ye Feng’s eyes grew moist. This was brotherhood. He reached out and gently patted Chu Yun on the shoulder. “Good brothers, let’s build something great together!” Ye Feng’s eyes shone with hope, confident their future would be better.

“Big Brother! You’ll always be my Big Brother!” Chu Yun’s eyes glistened with tears. Without Feng Ge, he wouldn’t be where he was today. His whole life belonged to Feng Ge and his plans. And now Feng Ge’s strength was truly formidable.

Under Chu Yun’s leadership, Ye Feng personally inspected the new security personnel and sparred with them. He found one promising guy—Zhuo Yuanfan. Zhuo had served in the military but was discharged early after offending a superior due to his honest nature.

Returning home without a clear plan, Zhuo was curious when he heard about Xing Feng Security. The pay and conditions were good but the requirements were strict. He applied with a trial mindset but was quickly recruited by Chen Xiang and Liu Zhen Hua, with a ten-day probation.

“Zhuo Yuanfan, not bad. Let’s spar a little. Show me your best moves!” Ye Feng smiled. Zhuo was taken aback. How could this guy, about his age, be so cocky? Damn it, Zhuo despised arrogant people like this. He decided to teach him a lesson—he didn’t care who this guy thought he was!
