Generally speaking, the leader and deputy leader of a gang need to work closely together to run a gang well.
However, due to various reasons, Fang Rui, the Hongye gang leader, and Lin Bo, the deputy gang leader, actually have very little communication on weekdays.
It was rare that the conversation broke out today, so the two simply chatted in depth.
We talked a lot about the development direction of Hongye, talked about a lot of opinions on the development of Hongye, and also exchanged a lot of opinions on cursers, body refiners, and ancient martial arts.
So by the time Fang Rui left the living room, more than three hours had passed.
"Wow! Master! You finally came out. If you don't come out, I will suspect that you two are fighting inside!"
As soon as Fang Rui came out of the reception room, Fire Snake came up to him with a sigh of relief.
"How could your second uncle attack me?"
"That's hard to say..." Fire Snake curled his lips in disapproval. He knew how much his second uncle liked to speak ill of Fang Rui.
"What's going on with those two people?" Fang Rui didn't discuss Uncle Lin's affairs with the fire snake too much. Instead, he turned his attention to Wang Chen, who was sitting not far away, holding hands and looking very happy.
and Zhao Yan.
"I don't quite understand, maybe this is women's friendship..."
The Fire Snake shook his head to show that he didn't understand, but he still briefly explained the reconciliation process between the two:
"About two and a half hours ago, Lei Hou came here with Zhao Yan. Hearing that you were still discussing things with the second uncle in the reception room, he simply followed us and waited here.
Originally, I was worried that these two people would start having sex, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yan suddenly took the initiative to apologize to Wang Chen. Then, it became the scene you saw, the two of them
From a love rival...oh no! From an enemy to a good sister. It's really hard to understand..."
"It's not difficult to understand. There is no fundamental conflict between the two girls, and neither of them is stingy. Once the anger subsides and they think clearly, everything will be fine."
Fang Rui was not surprised by this.
"Sorry, Fang Rui..."
While Fang Rui was talking to Fire Snake, Zhao Yan also walked towards Fang Rui with Wang Chen's encouragement.
"Is there anything you need to apologize to me for?"
Fang Rui frowned in confusion, then changed the topic:
"How was your visit with the Thunder Monkey? Is my red leaf mountain city spectacular?"
"I didn't go shopping~" Zhao Yan, who was a little happy when she saw Fang Rui pretending to be stupid and didn't care, suddenly fell down after hearing Fang Rui's next question.
"Didn't you go shopping? Didn't you go there for almost two hours?" Fang Rui asked in confusion.
Although he hardly cares about anything, he still knows a little about the process of submitting cursed objects. With Thunder Monkey following him, he can get it done in half an hour at most.
"Just wait over there..." Zhao Yan pouted helplessly, glanced at the thunder monkey casually, and continued a little depressed:
"After we went there, everything went smoothly at first, but when it came to the acceptance inspection, it seemed that something big happened within the gang. The person who received us said that the person doing the inspection could not come over for the time being, and asked us to wait for a while. Then.
The wait is an hour and a half...
During this period, because the Thunder Monkey couldn't speak, I couldn't call anyone. I was also afraid that if we left, the inspection person would just arrive, so I could only wait there."
"Well, it's our problem! I'll definitely help you punish those responsible for acceptance later!"
"That's not necessary. I was quite angry at the time, but the people responsible for the inspection and acceptance behind me were very nice and apologized to me." Zhao Yan shook her head, and by the way, she raised her hand and shook it at Fang Rui.
Showing off the red leaf bracelet on her hand.
Obviously this bracelet should be the gift she said was compensated by the recipient.
"If you like it, I can give you a complete set of red leaf accessories. The raw materials are cursed crystals. They are beautiful and can also help you practice."
Fang Rui promised with a little regret in his heart.
Judging from the timeline mentioned by Zhao Yan, the major events within the gang that influenced Zhao Yan to submit the cursed object should be the whole process of him going all out to suppress the deacons and deal with internal problems.
Although this matter is not his fault, in the end it was all because of him, so it was considered a lack of consideration on his part.
"No...not appropriate, right?"
Zhao Yan subconsciously wanted to politely refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't help but change her words.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s made of cursed crystals or not, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a full set of red leaf accessories. What’s important is that it was given by Fang Rui.
This made her instinctively unable to refuse.
"What's inappropriate?" Fang Rui said matter-of-factly:
"You are Uncle Zhao's daughter, and you are considered my honored guest. If you encounter such an inconvenience in my territory, of course I have to take responsibility for it..."
"Then...okay..." Zhao Yan turned her face and nodded "reluctantly".
"Yeah?" Fang Rui turned his face and found Wang Chen staring at him, so he continued to promise generously:
"If you like it, I can also give you a set."
"No need." Wang Chen shook his head and said a little speechlessly:
"I just gave Yan'er a set and immediately gave me another set. It's not suitable. What's more, it's no reward for no merit."
"Okay, that was my misunderstanding."
"Yes." Wang Chen, knowing what Fang Rui had misunderstood, explained: "I think you just want to have a few words with you."
"Chat alone?" Fang Rui glanced at Zhao Yan subconsciously.
It turned out that the little girl who was expected to be cautious or unhappy was actually taking the initiative to pull Fire Snake and Thunder Monkey away, helping to make room for Wang Chen to chat alone!
"Did you give Zhao Yan ecstasy?" Fang Rui looked at Wang Chen in surprise.
"No, it's just that I like Yan'er's straightforward personality, and Yan'er admires my rich college experience. As a result of our mutual rapport, she recognized me as her sister."
"???" Fang Rui raised his brows in confusion.
He could understand that they reconciled after a few hours after falling out over a trivial matter, but it was really beyond his understanding to become sisters directly.
However, he was too lazy to understand. He looked at Wang Chen and went straight to the topic:
"What do you want to talk about if you want to chat with me alone?"
"Can't you guess?"
"Xu Bufan?" Fang Rui smiled helplessly.
He should have thought that after he showed his ability to kill the C-level Consummation Deacon, his previous excuse of being hijacked by Xu Bufan was no longer valid.
"Yes." Wang Chen nodded, then looked into Fang Rui's eyes and asked:
"Did you kill Xu Bufan?"
"It was the 'Blood Lady', the 'Blood Red Bride' as you call her, who killed Xu Bufan." Fang Rui chose to conceal some of the facts and confessed the truth.
"'Blood Lady'..." Wang Chen muttered softly, and then continued to ask without doubting her presence:
"Then what role did you play in this process?"
"Use it as bait to lure him to the 'Blood Lady'."
"Why do you do this?"
"He wants to kill me. I need to hide my strength so that I can't take action easily. I can only let the 'Blood Lady' kill him for me."
"Why do you want to hide your strength? With your strength and Hongye's background, there shouldn't be any strength that can threaten you in the α restricted area."
"Because Huai Bi is guilty." Fang Rui continued to confess:
"Hongyemangan has only been established for three years. Why do you think it has so many resources and so many strong people?"
"Why?" Wang Chen was intrigued by Fang Rui.
In the α restricted area, there are only eight C-level cursers in the entire city. However, the Hongye Gang has six C-level cursers she has seen, and the weakest ones are all C-level perfection. This
It's really unscientific.
"Because we have mastered a cursed crystal mine." In order to regain Wang Chen's trust, Fang Rui revealed the biggest secret of the Hongye Gang.
"Curse the crystal mine?!" After hearing Fang Rui's answer, Wang Chen directly covered her mouth because she was afraid that she would make a sound that was too loud due to excessive shock.
"Are you sure you're right?!" Wang Chen confirmed with a trembling voice.
The Cursed Crystal Mine was too precious, so for her to believe that Hongye owned the Cursed Crystal Mine, she was more willing to believe that she had heard wrong, or that Fang Rui had told her wrongly.
"Yes." Fang Rui stamped his feet and signaled:
"It's just below the red leaves station."
"How is this possible?! Do you know what a cursed crystal mine means?"
"I'm not sure if the values we understand are the same, but I know that only seventeen cursed crystal mines have been discovered in the entire Southeast State, and all of them are in the hands of the cities with the first twelve serial numbers. These cursed crystals
Mine is also one of the fundamental reasons why the city remains in the top 12 cities."
"You know that the cursed crystal mine is so important, and you revealed this information to me?! Do you know that if this news is leaked, you Hongye will probably be trampled by B-level or even A-level strong men!"
"I know, so I said that Huaibi is guilty. I must hide my strength to ensure that our Hongye can develop secretly without interference."
"No!" Wang Chen shook his head vigorously and corrected:
"I mean, why would you tell me such an important thing?! This is super important information related to your Hongye's survival!"
"Because I want to gain your trust." Fang Rui directly confessed his thoughts.
"Is my trust so important?" Faced with Fang Rui's straightforwardness, Wang Chen suddenly felt confused.
She felt that the current situation was unreal. How could she, a little D-level weakling, deserve so much attention from Fang Rui, whose combat power was at least C-level perfection...
"Yes. If I want to become stronger, I have to rely on the help of your best friend Lan Ruoqiao. The prerequisite for whether I have a chance to get her help is whether I can gain your trust."
Fang Rui still confessed his thoughts very directly.
"Is it because of Ruoqiao?" Wang Chen murmured, feeling a little disappointed in his heart for no reason.
It turns out that all this happened because of Lan Ruoqiao, not because of her.
But I still feel more at ease.
Because it makes sense and Fang Rui's words appear true.
She is no longer a simple little girl, she knows that she does not have that kind of charm, nor does she have that kind of value.
If Fang Rui didn't say the following words, but directly expressed his feelings through this atmosphere as she didn't dare to think, she would feel scared and even want to run away.
Because that was too unreal and would make her doubt Fang Rui's deeper purpose.
"I ask you……"
Wang Chen was silent for a long time. After a long mental struggle, he stared into Fang Rui's eyes and said:
"Can you guarantee that what you are telling is the truth?"
