Chapter 76 Serving the Sword: Now I am the Leader of the Chang Le Gang
The swordsman standing to the side looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing Shi Zhongyu's question.
Is the gang leader's mother not the gang leader's mother?
She was a little confused.
She turned to look at the gang leader.
After hearing Shi Zhongyu's question, Shi Potian lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and sadness.
After a long pause, he spoke softly.
"She never said I was her son, and she never acknowledged me as her child."
"She only called me a bastard, never told me who my parents were, and wouldn't let me ask about anything outside."
A hint of pity flashed in the eyes of the swordsman standing to the side. What kind of mother keeps calling her son a bastard?
She couldn't help but clench her fists.
Shi Potian continued, "She raised me from a young age, fed me, sheltered me from the wind and rain, and stayed with me in the mountains."
"She may deny it, but in my heart, she is my mother."
"Whether she said it or not, she's still my mother, so I must find her!"
As he finished speaking, his eyes hardened.
Shi Zhongyu nodded.
"I have nothing to say about you recognizing her as your mother, but shouldn't you at least want to know your biological parents?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Potian's eyes lit up with surprise.
Do you know my parents?
Shi Zhongyu pointed to his face.
"I am your elder brother, and my parents are your parents too!"
"As for the one who raised you from the mountains, your parents will tell you the truth later!"
Shi Potian nodded repeatedly.
"good!"
Shi Zhongyu looked at Shi Jian.
"I've seen everything you've done; you've done a great job! Besides, I know why Bei Haishi wanted my younger brother to be the gang leader!"
Shi Jian was startled.
"You...you know?"
Shi Zhongyu smiled slightly but did not answer.
He looked at Shi Potian.
Do you know what your parents named you?
Shi Potian shook his head repeatedly.
"What's my name?"
"Stone Zhongjian!"
"So... my name is Shi Zhongjian, not Gou Zazhong!"
Shi Zhongyu smiled.
"Actually, the name Shi Potian is also quite good; it suits you better, little brother!"
"Forget the name Shi Zhongjian! From now on, you are Shi Potian."
As Shi Zhongyu spoke of this, he recalled that Shi Potian always referred to himself as a bastard.
He spoke up to remind them:
"Potian, now that you are Shi Potian, you must not use the words 'dog bastard' when introducing yourself to others in the future."
Shi Potian never went to school or read books. He was simple and honest by nature and didn't even know what swear words were.
He doesn't understand even the laughter and jokes of others.
So when he introduces himself as a bastard, people laugh at him, but he just laughs and chuckles.
Now that he has recognized Shi Potian as his younger brother, Shi Zhongyu will no longer allow others to laugh at his own brother.
Shi Potian nodded.
"Brother, I remember now. When you introduce me to others in the future, I will say Shi Potian."
"good!"
Shi Zhongyu patted Shi Potian on the shoulder.
By this time, the noise outside had subsided considerably.
A thought flickered in his mind, and he guessed that Xie Yanke probably couldn't hold on any longer and had to leave.
Just then, a large group of people hurried over.
Shi Jian's expression changed.
"Oh no, it must be Mr. Bei!"
Shi Zhongyu shook his head at Shi Jian, indicating that he didn't need to panic.
He looked at Shi Potian.
"Little brother, go back to your room and stay there. Don't come out no matter what noises are going on outside!"
Shi Potian gave an "oh" and obediently went back.
After Shi Zhongyu and Shi Potian returned to their room, Shi Zhongyu pointed to the furtive figure on the ground at Shi Jian.
"Your room should be big enough to fit them!"
"Can!"
Shi Zhongyu threw the two suspicious-looking people into Shijian's room.
"You handle it as best you can, just make sure they don't wake up!"
"Remember this: I am now the leader of the Chang Le Gang!"
Shi Jian opened his mouth, then finally nodded.
Shi Zhongyu didn't look at Shi Jian again, but returned to the courtyard and sat leisurely on the wooden stool.
Bei Haishi and the others hadn't arrived yet when Shi Jian, having dealt with the suspicious behavior, came over.
"Boss, let me brew you a pot of tea!"
"OK!"
Shi Jian hurriedly went to make tea.
Before the tea was even brewed, footsteps outside filled the courtyard.
Shi Zhongyu's gaze fell on the courtyard gate.
With a creak.
The courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside.
A group of people entered the courtyard with great momentum, but suddenly the leader saw Shi Zhongyu sitting in the courtyard, and his momentum faltered.
"Help...the gang leader?"
Shi Zhongyu glanced at the man.
"What happened outside? Why is it so noisy? It's keeping this gang leader from getting any rest!"
Without waiting for an answer, he asked casually, "Where is Mr. Bei?"
Before the man could speak, Shi Jian brought over the tea.
"Boss, the tea is here!"
She brought out the tea and saw so many people in the courtyard, especially since everyone was holding a knife.
Her eyes widened.
"Mi Hengye, Mi Xiangzhu, what do you mean by leading your men into the gang leader's courtyard?"
Upon hearing Shi Jian's question, Mi Hengye felt a surge of anger and was about to explode.
Then the gang leader in front of them spoke.
"He must have heard the commotion outside and suspected some bad guys were coming, so he sent these people to protect me!"
Mi Hengye sneered inwardly, "This foolish gang leader..."
"Yes, yes, yes, the gang leader is absolutely right! I brought these men to protect you!"
Shi Zhongyu gratefully clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Thank you for your hard work, Rice Fragrance Master!"
As he spoke, he waved to Shi Jian.
"Miss Shijian, our brothers have worked hard; please brew them a pot of tea!"
As Shi Jian turned to leave, Mi Hengye said, "No need to trouble yourself. I just came to see the gang leader. I'll be leaving now!"
After finishing his sentence, Mi Hengye turned to leave.
He came here to see if the gang leader was still around.
He had just turned around when he heard the gang leader say, "Master Mi, are all the people in our gang as disobedient to the gang leader as you?"
Mi Hengye suddenly turned around and looked at Shi Zhongyu, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Boss, what...what do you mean by that?"
Shi Zhongyu said calmly, "Mr. Bei told me that all the brothers in the gang listen to me."
So I gave it a try.
"I never expected that Master Mi Xiang wouldn't even drink a cup of my tea. It seems that being the gang leader isn't all that great!"
As Shi Zhongyu spoke, he stood up, walked to Mi Hengye's side, and grabbed Mi Hengye's arms with both hands.
"Master Rice Fragrance, please sit here!"
Mi Hengye sat down on the stool, seemingly puzzled.
After Shi Zhongyu and Mi Hengye were seated, they looked at the people Mi Hengye had brought.
He clapped his hands.
"Listen up, from this day forward, Master Mi Xiang is the leader of our gang!"
"Now all of you kneel down and pay homage to the gang leader!"
Mi Hengye's men were dumbfounded. They listened to what their gang leader was saying and didn't know what to do.
Sitting on the wooden stool, Mi Hengye suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If Mr. Bei hears this, he'll be in serious trouble, if not dead.
"Master, I won't..."
Mi Hengye tried to stand up, but a hand landed on his shoulder.
"Master Rice, did I, the leader of this gang, allow you to stand up?"
Mi Hengye looked up at the gang leader who was staring down at him, and for some reason, a feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
The gang leader in front of me seems to have changed.
"Boss...Boss, you'd be better off sitting on this chair!"
"Your subordinate can remain standing!"
Mi Hengye spoke but did not dare to get up. Instead, he reached out and moved the stool out from under his buttocks and placed it respectfully next to Shi Zhongyu.
"Boss, please have a seat!"
Shi Zhongyu looked at the stool, then at Mi Hengye.
"Master Rice, a master who doesn't want to be the leader isn't a good master!"
He said this as he sat down on the stool.
As Mi Hengye listened to Shi Zhongyu's words, he felt as if demons and monsters were whispering in his ear.
"Boss, let's not say that... If it gets to Mr. Bei's ears, I'll be in deep trouble!"
Just as Mi Hengye finished speaking, Bei Haishi's voice came from the courtyard gate.
"What has happened that will leave you in such a predicament?"
