Fang Yu saw his face clearly, punched him in the shoulder forcefully, and hugged him tightly.
âHow did you all find this place?â
Fang Yu didnât expect that these brothers would find him.
âItâs spread all over! They say that you came back. I was just worried that I couldnât find you, when Lei-zi called. He said that youâre living with a friend who drives a taxi. I really didnât know who it was. I asked for information for a long time, and only Yang-zi knew a little about this person. He brought us to come and try. We didnât expect that you were really here!â
Er Hei was excited. As soon as he got news about Fang Yu, he met with several former brothers and rushed over without stopping. Upon seeing Fang Yu, countless words came to Er Heiâs lips, but he didnât know what to say first.
âFang Yu! âŠâ
The brothers surrounded Fang Yu. Meeting each other again after many years, these men were really moved. Although the gangsters on the streets were rough, their feelings were not rough. Even outsiders would be touched by that scene.
Er Hei and the others sat down and talked for a long time. Fang Yu understood that they were persuading him to stay.
Er Hei was a very clever person. After a few questions, he felt that Fang Yu didnât want to mention where and how he had spent the last three years. In fact, Er Hei was not dumb. Fang Yu hadnât contacted them or told them where he went for the past three years. Now, he came back without notification. This indicated that there was a reason. Er Hei knew Fang Yu. It would be useless for anyone to ask about the things that he kept in his heart.
âYu Ge, come back! Whatâs wrong with Jianghai? Come back and lead the brothers to keep working!â
There was shouting from impatient brothers.
âNo matter how good the south is, can it be better than us brothers being together? Yu Ge, you donât know. Er Hei Ge has developed, but these past years, we have really been scraping by! Right now, even those few in Jianghai deserve to be called Da Ge. Theyâre all a fucking bunch of bastards! Three years ago, the brothers couldnât keep you, but now youâre back. Look at us. Can you bear to see us like this?!â
A brother spoke until he was sad. The whole room was silent.
Fang Yu looked at these brothers who had gone through life and death with him in the past. Some of them were only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and they followed him through knives and blood. Fang Yu was also distressed. He came back quietly this time, holding back from looking at these past brothers. He was afraid that after he saw them, he would be unable to help himself. But now that he saw that these brothers were living so unhappily, could he feel good??
ââŠYu Ge, donât leave. Jiu Ge is buried in Pu De Garden. You know that he couldnât be without you the most in the past. Do you have the heart to stay far away from him? âŠâ
When Er Hei said these words, there was a lump in his throat.
Er Hei had a feeling. He felt that if Fang Yu left this time, it was very likely that he would not return. These years, Er Hei always had a heavy sense of guilt in his heart. He felt that everything in the past happened because of him. He caused Luo Jiu to lose his life, Fang Yu to go to prison, and made such a powerful group fall apart. Er Hei always wanted to make up for it. He knew what would move Fang Yu.
ââŠâ
Fang Yuâs hand tightened.
Seeing that he had spoken to this extent and Fang Yu still didnât nod, some of the brothers were really anxious.
âYu Ge! Can you really just watch as everyone has no way out and not care?? If you donât agree today, IâŠâ
This brother was a rough man. When his temper flared, he didnât care about anything. He pulled out a large knife from his body, popped out the blade, and aimed it at his shoulder.
ââŠIâll stab myself. When you agree, then Iâll pull it out!â
âDa Cong! What are you doing!â
The brothers stopped him. When this man was worked up, he would really stab his shoulder.
Fang Yu sat down and kicked him in the thigh, kicking Da Cong over. The knife fell, and he nearly fell flat.
âWith this pitiful look, donât say that youâve followed Jiu Ge!â
Fang Yu was angry. He couldnât stand seeing brothers under his leadership act foolishly the most, easily taking their life as nothing!
âYu GeâŠâ
Da Congâs voice was choked.
âEveryone raise your heads! Wherever Jiu Ge went, he would make a bang! When did all of you become this pathetic?!â
Seeing these dejected and despondent brothers, Fang Yu felt sad. It left a bad taste in his mouth!
âYu Ge!! âŠâ
Everyone looked at Fang Yu.
ââŠI can stay.â Fang Yu frowned and finally spoke. âBut there is one condition. We wonât be on the streets. If you want to do this, then do a serious job and walk the proper path. If you want to follow me, then stay. If you still want to mess around, I wonât force you. Whenever it is difficult, come back, and as long as I can, there wonât be one brother less.â
After the brothers were stunned, they suddenly cheeredâŠ
