Chapter 332 Without the Boss, There Would Be No Red Shark
"Master Yong..."
Chen Hu stood by and watched, while Wei An stood behind him, blocking the younger gang members.
"Boss, you're our leader. We all respect and admire you. It's because you led us through thick and thin that we have the Red Shark Gang today. We can live a life of luxury because of you."
One of the young men with tattoos on his face stepped forward.
"But who does this old man think he is? He just starts hitting people whenever he wants. The Third Master is our leader, after all, and he doesn't give him any face at all..."
Ever since Xu Yong entered the headquarters yesterday, this young man has been looking down on him in various ways, but he has been holding back because of Chen Hu.
It wasn't until just now that Xu Yong beat He Dali in front of them.
Who could possibly resist this?
A flash of hostility crossed Xu Yong's eyes: "Hmm! Quite a bit resentful."
Xu Yong removed his foot from He Dali's head, and just when everyone thought he was going to give up,
With another powerful kick, He Dali fell off the boat.
"Looks like I really am getting old."
Xu Yong smiled helplessly; the young people were starting to disregard him.
"Brother Yong, please don't say that. Others may not know your abilities, but do you think I don't?"
Chen Hu, with his back bent, walked down and helped Xu Yong down.
"Quickly pull the third leader up."
Wei An watched He Dali thrashing about in the water and shook his head helplessly.
Of all people to mess with, why did you have to mess with the boss?
His hand still hurts, and Xie Yushu couldn't even come out with him, still lying in bed clutching his chest.
The young man was unconvinced and wanted to say something more.
"That's enough. If it weren't for the old master, there would be no Red Shark. If he wants to do something or deal with someone, that's perfectly acceptable."
Wei An pressed down the young man's defiant hand.
"Are you bragging? If he's so capable, why is the Red Shark Gang called the Red Shark Gang? Shouldn't it be called the Xu Yong Gang?"
The young man sneered, still unconvinced.
"Are you really saying you don't know?"
Wei An looked down at him condescendingly: "Besides Xu Yong, the old master is also called Chi Chao!"
……
The group exchanged surprised glances.
Do you know what a red tide means?
Looking at their ignorant expressions, Wei An felt extremely smug.
"What...does this mean?"
The young man pondered for a moment, still completely confused: "What does that mean?"
"It symbolizes that wherever the old leader's fleet goes, it sweeps away everything like a calamity, leaving nothing but barren land."
Wei An kept everyone in suspense before speaking slowly and deliberately.
"So! The name of the Red Shark Gang is a combination of the old leader's name and the second-in-command's name from back then. With 'Red' first, tell me, who's more powerful?"
The young man suppressed his emotions, his expression slightly wistful: "I never expected this old boss to have such a distinguished background."
"Now that you know, stop arguing. Be more respectful to the old master from now on. You have no sense at all! Didn't you see that even the head master doesn't dare to put on airs in front of the old master? Let's get the third master out of here first."
Wei An tried to persuade him, but the young man just hummed in response.
They jumped down and pulled He Dali, who was no longer struggling, out of the water.
……
"Brother Yong, please calm down and don't take it to heart with these kids."
Chen Hu forced a smile and helped Xu Yong into the Hall of Righteousness.
Twenty-seven leaders followed closely behind, and the third leader, He Dali, had just been sent back inside.
"Brother Yong! There aren't many old members left in the Red Shark Gang these days; most of them are young people."
Chen Hu's single eye gleamed: "These brats have never seen a real dragon before, they don't know your abilities, please don't lower yourself to their level."
Xu Yong slowly walked to the head seat without replying.
With a clang, the pipe struck the bronze cauldron, easily extinguishing the fire.
"When Wei An returns, I will have him spread the word within the gang that Yong Ye's reputation will reach everyone's ears, and anyone who shows disrespect will be dealt with by the old boss."
Chen Hu's one eye swept over the twenty-seven leaders in the hall, and wherever he went, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look.
"Alright! Let these brats say whatever they want. Once these matters are resolved, I won't concern myself with the Red Shark issue anymore. Whether we know each other or not, it's not that important."
Xu Yong waved his hand, put the pipe to his lips and took a deep drag. Grayish-white smoke slowly overflowed from his nostrils, blurring his deeply lined face.
Chen Hu's one eye twitched suddenly, and the wine bowl in his hand slammed onto the table, splashing amber-colored wine all over the table.
"Master Yong!"
His voice tightened, "What's wrong...?"
"Why don't you take a look at how old you are? You're older than your father. From now on, you'll have to make your own decisions about the gang."
These words, though spoken lightly, struck everyone's hearts like a boulder.
Xu Yong continued talking to himself without looking at him, his eyes lowered as he stared at the flickering sparks in the pipe: "Since Chen Shark handed the Red Shark over to you, it's yours now."
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
The young leaders exchanged glances, some with a hint of smugness in their eyes, while others nervously rubbed their hands together.
Chen Hu's face turned ashen, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"no!"
He suddenly slammed his hand on the table, his single eye bloodshot. "The gang needs you to be there! That fish-shaped talisman isn't even—"
"Fish-shaped tally?"
Xu Yong chuckled and tapped his pipe on the table. "That's why I said we should wait until this is over!"
Chen Hu was speechless.
"Don't write to me every few days, and don't send anyone to rob Wanghai Island. If I find out you're coming, don't blame me for turning my back on you! Don't disturb my old age. The rest... you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Xu Yong put his pipe on Chen Hu's shoulder and pressed him back into the chair.
"Bring the nautical charts, let's discuss Ghost Fang Reef again..."
……
As soon as Xu Yiyi and her group's boat touched the bluestone of the dock, the first drop of rain hit the top of the mast.
"Tsk, what a perfect timing."
She shook the water droplets off the cable, looked up at the sky, and saw lead-gray clouds like a water-soaked quilt, pressing heavily on the sea.
The sea surface turned gray in an instant.
The raindrops grew denser, making a crisp, crackling sound as they tapped against the deck, and soon they formed a continuous line.
A-Yue quickly pulled the oilcloth over her body, but her temples were still wet: "This rain is really strange, it just starts raining whenever it wants."
The dock was almost empty in an instant.
The fishmongers at their stalls were busy packing up their goods, their straw hats and raincoats swaying as blurry shadows in the rain.
"Don't go out to sea today. The rain can come anytime soon, and it will be even more dangerous if there's thunder."
Xu Yi nodded, tied Wu Yuan to her chest, and disembarked from the boat while holding an umbrella.
Rainwater then trickled down the edge of the fan, forming a water curtain.
Just as she was about to take a step, she suddenly heard Qingshan's shout from the cabin beside her:
"Yi-yi! There's a letter for you."
He then ran off the ship. The letter, sealed with sealing wax, was from Lin Ke.
Xu Yiyi took the letter and pondered its contents.
Wu Yuan curiously reached out to touch it, but she hid it in her sleeve.
"Back to the restaurant."
She reached out and pressed Sihai's head down. "It's raining harder. Don't move around. Aren't you uncomfortable getting soaked?"
