CH 33.3

Jiang Yufeng nodded in response: “Well, then I’ll take a step first. Awen once you finish talking, you have to hasten up to follow me. It’s too late for you to safely walk by yourself.”

Qiao Wen: “Alright, Brother Feng.”

Jiang Yufeng lit a cigarette, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and walked towards the Walled City at a leisurely pace. The younger brothers also boarded a cargo ship moored nearby, considering it was their residence.

In an instant, only Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan were left on the quiet dock, and the dim light stretched their bodies close to each other.

Chen Jianan held Qiao Wen’s arm, looked at him up and down, and asked, “Xiao Qiao, have Lord Leopard and the others made things difficult for you these days?”

Qiao Wen shook his head. “No, Brother Feng is here. The club still keeps the rules.” And asked, “How are you doing these days?”

Chen Jianan nodded his head, and light-heartedly said: “It’s pretty good. I didn’t expect Zhou Renjun to be a real rich young master. I followed him every day to eat and drink, and gained weight. I’m just worried about my family and you.”

Looking at his swollen face, Qiao Wen thought to himself that he was not sure if he had gained weight in the past few days or not but now it is really swollen into a pig’s head, and his eyes and nose can’t see the original shape.

Jiang Yufeng was really good at it.

Initially, he was a little distressed, but at this moment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“What are you laughing at?” Chen Jianan blinked and asked puzzledly, completely unaware that it was his poor honor that made him laugh.

Qiao Wen shook his head: “It’s nothing, you go back and quickly put some medicine on your face.”

Chen Jianan subconsciously rubbed his cheeks and then sucked another cold breath. “Brother Feng is really strong in this fist.”

“You are smart enough to not dodge his fist.”

“If I dodge it, he must be angry.” Chen Jianan sighed, turned to look at Jiang Yufeng who was about to disappear into the night, and hurriedly said: “All right, you quickly go back with Brother Feng, it's too dangerous to be alone at night. If you have anything in these few days, call me.”

“Yeah. You take care of yourself.”

They walked side by side for a few steps before separating in different directions. Chen Jianan reluctantly watched Qiao Wen catch up with Jiang Yufeng before turning around and leaving in peace.

“Done?” Jiang Yufeng, who was smoking a cigarette, narrowed his eyes at the young man who followed him.

Qiao Wen nodded.

Jiang Yufeng said, “I have never seen any brothers as sticky as you two.”

Qiao Wen: “We have a good relationship.”

“Yes, quite good.”

Qiao Wen thought for a while and asked, “Brother Feng, how long will it take for you to return from your trip to Vietnam?”

Jiang Yufeng said, “If it goes well, it will take about ten days. If not, then I don’t know how long it will take, and it is uncertain whether we will return or not.” After that, he turned to look at him and asked with a smile, “Why, worried about Anan?”

Qiao Wen nodded and shook his head, after a little hesitation, he tentatively asked: “Brother Feng, can I go with you?”

Jiang Yufeng, who was leisurely smoking a cigarette was fiercely choked a mouthful, he turned his head to look at the thin and pale young man beside him amusedly, thinking that he had misheard.

The smile on his face didn't seem like a mockery, but just seemed to hear a joke.

“Brother Feng, I’m serious.”

Jiang Yufeng threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, chuckling. “Awen, we are not going to play but for work. I remember how courageous you were in the past to take a U turn when seeing the people. Why are you suddenly so bold enough to go to Vietnam with us?”

Of course, Qiao Wen was not on a whim, because he was not the original Qiao Wen, but Qiao Wen from another world who was keen to take risks. No matter how dangerous this trip to Vietnam was, it could not really scare him.

Of course, he wanted to follow them to Vietnam, not to take risks, but because he was worried about Chen Jianan. Whether it was the original Xiao Qiao or himself, they have always been protected by Chen Jianaan. Because of his arrival and his meddling, the fate of this young man has been completely changed. He didn't know where his fate was going, but for the first time, he wanted to protect a man.

At least in this world, he hoped that he and Chen Jianan could always be good brothers and live a good life together.

He knew that Jiang Yufeng would not easily agree to this request. He thought about it, and said, “I know that my health is not good, and following you is like a burden. But Brother Feng, sometimes many things do not just rely on force, I have the ability to defend myself. And I can speak English and French, So I believe I can be helpful to you.”

The most important thing was that he believes that with himself around, Chen Jianan will be a lot more reliable.

Jiang Yufeng still acted like he was listening to a child, shook his head disapprovingly, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: “Awen, I know you are worried about Anan, but our trip is too dangerous to take you with us.”

Qiao Wen naturally didn’t expect him to agree to his request right now, but just opened a trial first. Seeing his attitude, he nodded and said: “I know Brother Feng.” After a little pause, he continued again, “If I can protect myself, can I go with you?”

Jiang Yufeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, spreading his hands and joked: “If you put me down now, I’ll let you go.”

“You know it’s impossible.” Qiao Wen said with laughter.

“So, be good and take care of Granny at home, and Brother Feng strives to bring back your Brother Nan intact.”

Qiao Wen nodded honestly: “Okay.”

Although Jiang Yufeng did not agree, the next day at office Qiao Wen reported a leave of absence in advance to Lin Zihui, saying that Chen Jianan has things to do in Vietnam, and he was going to follow along to inspect the material market there.

Lin Zihui knew that Chen Jianan had caused a big trouble, but he didn't know exactly how big it was. Now hearing Qiao Wen’s words, he thought that the matter had been resolved, and nodded without hesitation, and even gave a sum of money to Qiao Wen for travel. 

Qiao Wen accepted with a guilty conscience.

There were only four days left to set off in Vietnam, and the chances of persuading Jiang Yufeng to agree to board the ship were indeed slim. He took the time to check his body and confirmed that apart from the anemia left over from history, there was no major problem with this body now.

It seemed that the exercise these days was very effective.

In the past few days, he thought hard, but he couldn't think of a good way to persuade him to let him follow. Seeing that there was only one day to go, he had no choice but to go directly to Jiang Yufeng and try to overthrow him as he said to prove that he could do it.

However, Jiang Yufeng’s height was more than 185, with a stout body. The muscles on his arm looked harder than a rock, a single punch could fly him two meters away. Let alone fighting him openly, he was afraid the probability of success in a sneak attack were slim to none.

With his current body, he has reached the end of being able to lift fifty catties.

Qiao Wen sadly went to the Eastern District alone with a frown, but before reaching the billiard room where Jiang Yufeng often hangs out, he encountered a Scar, who hadn't seen him for a few days.

Thanks to Chen Jianan’s gift, his boss had lost his leg, and he was injured, but he has never been able to catch the culprit. The new and the old hatred together has turned him into a mad dog. He so much wanted to capture Qiao Wen earlier to vent his anger, but because people couldn’t walk away, he didn’t look for an opportunity. At this moment, seeing Qiao Wen come to the Eastern District alone, it was simply throwing himself at the door.

Behind him was a little brother who was also beaten by Chen Jianan the last time. The wounds on their faces had not healed yet, and they both looked fierce and vicious. Seeing Qiao Wen alone, they rushed forward without a word.

Feeling hapless about running into him, Qiao Wen repeatedly complained in his heart. When he saw the two raising his fists, he quickly turned and fled. However with his thin arms and legs, he naturally couldn’t run fast. He only ran a few steps and then went into the dark alley next to him.

This was a dead-end alley, and after a short run, it came to an end. In fact, Qiao Wen did not expect to rely on his two legs to run past Scar, a mad dog.

He stopped, stepped on a pile of discarded stone bricks, leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. After running for less than half a minute, his heart became a bit unbearable, and his white face flushed to little color.

It’s just that his expression didn’t show any panic, on the contrary, it was unexpectedly calm.

The scar, who was blinded by anger, did not see any unusualness. He grinned eerily and stepped forward: “Little white face, pretty boy Nan is a shrinking turtle, and he's the one who wants you to pay for his debut first. Don’t worry, I won’t kill or cripple you, but I will ruin your little white face today.”

Scar said as he drew a dagger from his waist, which glinted with cold light.

The author has something to say: Pretty Boy Nan: I heard that some people want to engage Brother Feng and Xiao Qiao, I think you want to taste my fist.
