Liu Bo chuckled and said, "It's nothing. This little injury is nothing. When I was in the army, the injuries I got were much more serious than this, and I never went to the hospital!"

 

Xie Wendong secretly admired him. He thought that this person was not only loyal but also a tough guy. He said, "Well, how about this? Why don't you come to my place and have a seat? How about making friends?"

 

Liu Bo readily agreed. Xie Wendong and the others hailed a taxi. After getting in the car, only Li Shuang was still outside, chatting and gesturing animatedly with the three girls. Xie Wendong shouted, "Xiao Shuang, get in the car!" Hearing Xie Wendong's shout, Li Shuang reluctantly came over.

 

Xie Wendong smiled and said, "You're really something!" "I..."

 

The few people chatted in the car. Xie Wendong learned that the tall young man was named Liu Bo, and his companion was named Jiang Sen. Both of them were veterans and lived in the same village. After being discharged from the army, due to lack of money and connections, they couldn't get a job for a long time. These days, Liu Bo and Jiang Sen couldn't stay at home anymore, so they decided to come to City J to try their luck. They had been looking for a job for three days but hadn't found a suitable one. Today, the two of them were in a depressed mood and went to Dongsheng to drink to relieve their worries. Unexpectedly, this happened. Both Liu Bo and Jiang Sen had served in the army and couldn't stand the behavior of the hooligans, so they stepped in to save the three girls.

 

Li Shuang got along very well with Liu Bo. Both of them had straightforward personalities and chatted freely in the car. Xie Wendong listened quietly to their conversation, having other plans in mind. The taxi soon arrived at Ghost Domain, and the four of them got out of the car and entered the disco.

 

Xie Wendong took them into a private room and asked a brother to simply treat the wound on Liu Bo's head. After a while, the waiter from Ghost Domain brought the wine. Xie Wendong asked, "Liu Bo, how long are you two going to stay in City J?"

 

Liu Bo sighed when he heard this and said, "How much longer can we stay? We can't find a job, and the money we brought is almost spent. We thought we could find a job in City J and earn some money to support our families. Now it seems we have to go back to the countryside to farm!"

 

Li Shuang disagreed and said loudly, "A real man should strive hard when he's young. When else is he going to do it? Big Brother Liu, what you said is so unpromising!"

 

Liu Bo picked up the wine on the table, poured a glass, and drank it in one gulp. He shook his head and said, "I also want to strive, but I don't know anyone here. Even when applying to work as a waiter in a restaurant, they require a local household registration. What do you think I should do? If I don't go back to farm, I'll starve to death here!"

 

Li Shuang patted Liu Bo on the shoulder, feeling sorry for him, and then turned to look at Xie Wendong. How could Xie Wendong not understand what he meant? And he himself was indeed interested in recruiting these two people. He said to Liu Bo, "Liu Bo, if you don't mind, stay and work with me! I need talents like you!"

 

Liu Bo was slightly taken aback: "Follow you? Let me be a follower of a student?" Liu Bo knew from Xie Wendong's conversation with Zhang Hong that he was from some Wendong Society, which seemed to be a very big gang. But no matter how he looked at Xie Wendong, he still seemed like a student.

 

Li Shuang laughed heartily and pointed at Xie Wendong, saying, "This is the leader of our Wendong Society. It's not easy to be his follower!"

 

Liu Bo looked at Xie Wendong in surprise: "You're the leader of the gang? I didn't see it at all!"

 

Xie Wendong chuckled and said, "I like your character, and you also have great abilities. It would be a waste to go back to the countryside to farm. Although the Wendong Society is in the underworld, I still sincerely hope you can fight alongside me. Just now, Xiao Shuang was right. A man should strive. Even if he doesn't succeed, it's better than living an ordinary life. At least when you're old, you won't regret it because you've truly tried!"

 

Liu Bo looked at Xie Wendong for a long time without speaking, unable to believe that such words came from a young boy. Jiang Sen, who was beside him, suddenly stood up and looked at Xie Wendong, saying, "What the brother just said is right! I'm willing to fight with you!"

 

Xie Wendong smiled and nodded, looking at Liu Bo. After a while, Liu Bo asked, "How much can I earn a month?"

 

Li Shuang burst into laughter and said, "It's at least this much!" After that, he stretched out three fingers.

 

"Three hundred? It's a bit less, but it's much better than farming! Okay, I'll follow you from now on!" Liu Bo stood up and shouted loudly after taking another sip of wine.

 

Xie Wendong also stood up, shook hands with Liu Bo and Jiang Sen, and said, "Great! I welcome you two on behalf of the Wendong Society. But you made a mistake. It's not three hundred, but three thousand!"

 

"Three thousand?" Liu Bo and Jiang Sen looked at each other. Three thousand yuan a month! It's more than what they could earn from farming for a year. Xie Wendong and Li Shuang laughed heartily when they saw their surprised expressions.

 

Then, Xie Wendong briefly introduced the general situation of the Wendong Society to the two of them. Only then did Liu Bo and Jiang Sen have some understanding of the Wendong Society. They were both a bit surprised. They didn't expect the Wendong Society to be so powerful. No wonder Zhang Hong in the Dongsheng Ballroom was so polite to Xie Wendong.

 

After Xie Wendong finished speaking, he asked the two, "How are you two with firearms knowledge?"

 

The two looked at each other and smiled. Liu Bo said, "I won't talk about other things. Regarding my understanding of firearms, I can rank first in the entire company." Jiang Sen nodded and said, "Liu Bo isn't bragging about this. He has in - depth research on guns!"

 

Xie Wendong was very happy when he heard this and said, "Later, I'll take you to look at some guns and help me identify them!"

 

As soon as guns were mentioned, Liu Bo was overjoyed. Since being discharged from the army, he hadn't touched a gun until now. For someone like him who loved guns, when he suddenly heard that Xie Wendong had guns, he couldn't wait any longer. He rubbed his hands and said, "Boss, bring the guns now and let me have a look. Don't wait!"

 

Li Shuang saw his eager look and smiled, saying, "Brother Dong, I'll go get one for Big Brother Liu to see!"

 

Xie Wendong nodded. Li Shuang rushed out in a flash. He was also in a hurry, but he was eager to know if the guns bought from the Qing Gang were defective. After a while, Li Shuang came back with the gun wrapped in clothes and handed it to Liu Bo. Liu Bo took it and took a look, saying, "This is an AK47. There's nothing special about it!"

 

Li Shuang hurriedly asked, "What do you think of the quality of this gun?"

 

Liu Bo listened and examined it in detail, saying, "It's okay. If there's no mistake, it should be made in Russia!"

 

Li Shuang let out a long sigh of relief and said to Xie Wendong, "Brother Dong, it seems the Qing Gang didn't deceive us. Haha!"

 

Xie Wendong shook his head. He never thought that the Qing Gang would deceive him over such a small matter. It was just that San Yan and Li Shuang were too suspicious. At this time, the door of the private room opened, and San Yan, Zhang Yanjiang, and He Haoran walked in. Seeing Liu Bo with a bandage on his head, San Yan asked curiously, "Brother Dong, who is he...?"

 

Li Shuang gave San Yan a sideways look and said in a strange tone, "Brother San Yan, knock before you come in next time. Don't you see that Brother Dong and I are talking?"

 

San Yan was stunned for a moment, and then cracked his knuckles and said, "It seems your skin has tightened these days. Come! Let me loosen it for you!"

 

Xie Wendong interrupted their nonsense and pointed to Liu Bo and Jiang Sen, saying, "These two are Liu Bo and Jiang Sen, new brothers I recruited. From now on, they're one of us. Brother Zhang, take care of them more."

 

San Yan, Zhang Yanjiang, and the other three shook hands with Liu Bo and Jiang Sen respectively. They were all young people, and now they were all in the same gang. Soon, they became buddies. In the evening, Xie Wendong specially invited everyone to a meal to welcome the two. Basically all the main members of the Wendong Society were present, except for Gao Qiang, who was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen.

 

Since Liu Bo and Jiang Sen had served in the army, Xie Wendong asked them to train the brothers of the Wendong Society. Xie Wendong knew that the strength of a gang depended, first, on the ability of the leadership and, second, on the individual combat strength of the brothers below.

 

In this way, the playground of No.1 Middle School became the training ground for the Wendong Society. Every morning, all members gathered on the playground. Liu Bo and Jiang Sen served as instructors and used the same methods as the army.

 

On the first day, everyone felt fresh. More than 500 people stood on the playground cheerfully. Xie Wendong, San Yan, and others were also among them. Only Gao Qiang and his brothers, who were busy collecting intelligence, did not participate. Liu Bo came to the front of the team. Xie Wendong had instructed him earlier that all training should be the same as in the army and no mercy should be shown. Seeing that everyone was standing properly, he shouted, "Count off!" The people in the first row started to count, "1, 2, 3, 4..."

 

After the count - off, Liu Bo waved his hand and said, "Run around the playground ten laps first!"

 

The playground of No.1 Middle School was not very large, but it was definitely not small either. One lap was about 250 meters. After running only three laps, Li Shuang collapsed. After five laps, half of the people couldn't run anymore. After ten laps, less than 100 people could still stand. Xie Wendong, San Yan, and He Haoran were among these 100 people.

 

Liu Bo shook his head when he saw this and shouted, "Those who didn't finish running, do 100 push - ups!" Then there was a chorus of moans below. "Those who finished running also do 100 push - ups!" "..." After doing the push - ups, they started the formation practice. By the end of the morning, everyone was so tired that they couldn't get up. Li Shuang pulled Xie Wendong and said, "This is simply a devil training method!" Xie Wendong smiled and said, "I think it's good. Only in this way can the brothers in the gang become stronger!"

 

From then on, Liu Bo and Jiang Sen's training became more and more strict, and their methods became more and more rough. Those who couldn't complete the training were either beaten or scolded, bringing the army style completely over. Since Xie Wendong had explained in advance that everyone had to listen to Liu Bo and Jiang Sen during training, including himself, everyone hated and feared these two people. They were also honored to earn a title unanimously recognized by everyone - the "Devil Duo"!

 

In less than three days, Gao Qiang, who had been missing all day, came back and also brought a complete intelligence report. Among the five forces in the southern part of the city, Zhu Youpeng's gang had the support of the Brotherhood Alliance. There were no fewer than ten venues, large and small, and about 350 men under him. Liu Qing's gang was supported by the Qing Gang. Since the Qing Gang had formed an alliance with the Wendong Society, it was excluded. He Xueyong's gang was supported by the Tiger Gang. There were eight venues, and about 300 men under him. Shan Xiaoyun and Zhang Hong had no support from large gangs, but they had some friendly small and medium - sized gangs. The combined strength of the two of them couldn't match any of the above three...

 

Xie Wendong read the intelligence report in detail and said to Gao Qiang, "Qiangzi, gather everyone at No.1 Middle School for a meeting!" The latter nodded in agreement.

 

Inside the teaching building of No.1 Middle School.

 

Xie Wendong called everyone to the painting room on the third floor. It was quiet and spacious here. After everyone read the intelligence report, there were all kinds of opinions. Li Shuang suggested attacking Zhu Youpeng first, taking out the strongest force, and then the others would be easier to deal with. San Yan suggested attacking He Xueyong's gang first, on the grounds that this person had a very bad reputation. Gao Qiang said to attack the two weaker ones first and then concentrate on dealing with the stronger ones. After listening to everyone's opinions, Xie Wendong lowered his head and pondered. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he played out each option in his mind one by one.

 

Half an hour later, Xie Wendong finally said, "We... will attack He Xueyong first!"

 

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard this. Although He Xueyong was not the strongest among the five forces, his backer was the most powerful. San Yan said, "Brother Dong, what I said about attacking He Xueyong first just now was nonsense!" The others also nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Dong! He Xueyong's backer is the Tiger Gang!"

 

Xie Wendong smiled and said, "Just now, Brother Zhang said that He Xueyong is unpopular, which is one reason. The second reason is precisely because his backing is the Fierce Tiger Gang that I want to strike him first!" Seeing everyone looking at him with puzzled eyes, Xie Wendong continued, "No matter how strong the Fierce Tiger Gang is, it is ultimately an external force. Since arriving in J City, it has caused quite a stir, and many underworld factions are already displeased with it.. It has caused a big stir as soon as it arrived in City J. Many underworld gangs already dislike it. But because the various gangs are not united and have not joined forces to deal with it, it has been able to be arrogant until now. He Xueyong, in order to expand his power, actually secretly curries favor with the Tiger Gang. If other gangs know about this, who will speak for him! For both moral and practical reasons, we should choose him as the first target!"

 

Zhang Yanjiang suddenly understood and said, "I understand what Brother Dong means. In fact, no matter which of the other four forces we attack, it will cause dissatisfaction among other gangs. Only He Xueyong's gang is different. Not only will it not arouse the suspicion of other gangs, but it is also possible that they will help us! Haha!"

 

At this time, everyone also understood and felt that the idea of attacking He Xueyong first was a good one.

 

Xie Wendong said, "Now, others don't know that He Xueyong is secretly colluding with the Tiger Gang. We must 'help' him! Everyone go back and ask the brothers in each hall to spread the word throughout the city that He Xueyong is colluding with the Tiger Gang and intends to occupy the entire underworld in the southern part of the city!"

 

Everyone agreed in unison. Xie Wendong then said to Liu Bo and Jiang Sen, "You two continue to train the brothers in the gang in the morning. As soon as there is an opportunity, we will make a big move. In addition, select forty brothers with good marksmanship and take them to practice shooting in the afternoon!"

 

Liu Bo and Jiang Sen nodded in agreement.

 

Gao Qiang hadn't seen the two before and looked at Xie Wendong questioningly, asking, "Brother Dong, who are these two...?"

 

Xie Wendong smiled slightly and introduced them to Gao Qiang. Liu Bo heard Xie Wendong say that Gao Qiang was in charge of undercover work in the gang and said with a smile, "Since you're in charge of undercover work, the brothers below should be well - trained. In the army, scouts are not simple. They can even become deadly killers at critical moments."

 

Gao Qiang asked in surprise, "Become killers?"

 

Jiang Sen continued, "That's right. When scouts have an excellent opportunity, they should have the ability to assassinate important enemy personnel alone or in groups!"

 

Xie Wendong pondered. After thinking for a while, he said to Liu Bo, "Do you know the methods of training scouts?"

 

Liu Bo shook his head and smiled, saying, "I don't know, but this guy does!" After that, he pointed at Jiang Sen and said, "Because he came from the scout team! Haha!"
