Xie Wendong nodded slightly to the crowd and stayed in the corridor without entering the ward, considerately giving the three siblings space to talk. In the intensive care unit, Gao Zhen was lying alone in bed. His face was pale due to excessive blood loss. With tears in her eyes, Gao Huiyu came to the bedside, grabbed Gao Zhen's hand, and said softly, "Brother! I've come to see you. Wake up!"
Hearing the call, Gao Zhen slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his sight were the concerned and anxious faces of his two sisters. Gao Zhen forced a smile and said in a weak voice, "I'm fine. You two don't have to worry about me." Looking at his sisters' disbelieving eyes, Gao Zhen smiled and said, "Really, I'm okay! Why are you crying? If you cry, you won't be pretty anymore. If Wendong doesn't like you then, don't come to me."
Gao Huiyu blushed shyly, lowered her head, and hit Gao Zhen's arm coquettishly, saying, "Brother! You're the worst!"
Gao Zhen let out an exaggerated "ouch", which startled Gao Huiyu and the other. But when they saw that Gao Zhen was actually smiling, they realized they had been tricked. Gao Zhen smiled and endured his sister's "massage" on his arm. Suddenly, he thought of Ying and wondered if she was in danger. He quickly asked, "Huimei, do you... do you know how Ying is? Is she in danger?"
Gao Huiyu was unhappy when she heard this. She didn't have a good impression of Ying. She thought that last time it was Ying who caused her to have a cold war with Xie Wendong for several days, and now Ying had almost cost her brother his life. In her opinion, Ying was simply a jinx! In fact, she didn't know Ying's current situation either. Pouting, Gao Huiyu casually said, "Hmph, she has a strong life. She won't die!"
"Oh!" Gao Zhen felt a bit relieved and mumbled softly, "It's good that she's okay, it's good that she's okay..." After a while, Gao Zhen looked up and saw the dissatisfaction written all over Gao Huiyu's face. He quickly asked, "Xiaoyu, do you have a misunderstanding about Ying?"
Gao Huiyu couldn't bear to make her brother worry, so she said loudly, "Brother, I don't..." Yeah, right! She added silently in her heart.
Gao Zhen chatted with his two sisters for a while longer. Finally, he said, "Okay, you two go back. Don't worry about me. When you go out, ask Wendong to come in. I have something to talk to him about."
Gao Huimei and the others nodded. They looked at Gao Zhen and then turned around and walked out. They told Xie Wendong outside the door that Gao Zhen wanted to see him.
Xie Wendong had already guessed that Gao Zhen would want to see him. He smiled at the two sisters and walked into the ward.
"Brother Gao, how are you feeling? The doctor said you'll be okay soon!" Xie Wendong sat beside Gao Zhen and said with a smile.
Gao Zhen nodded and said, "Wendong, tell me how Ying is. I'm worried about her!"
Xie Wendong's expression turned somber, and he didn't know whether he should tell Gao Zhen. Seeing Xie Wendong like this, Gao Zhen became anxious and said loudly, "Wendong, speak! Is Ying... is she dead?"
Xie Wendong said, "Brother Gao, don't worry. Ying is out of life danger, but... but the doctor said that the bullet damaged her central nervous system, and it may lead to blindness!"
Gao Zhen let out a long breath and said calmly, "As long as she doesn't die, that's good. I like her. No matter whether she goes blind or not, I will definitely marry her as my wife in the future!"
Seeing that Gao Zhen was serious, Xie Wendong secretly laughed. These two people had completely opposite personalities, one cold and one warm. He really didn't know why Gao Zhen liked Ying, but it might not be a bad thing for Ying either. After all, a girl eventually needs to find a home, and Gao Zhen is indeed a trustworthy person. Xie Wendong said seriously, "Brother Gao, I sincerely hope that you and Ying will have a good future!"
"Thank you! But I still don't know if she's willing. Ying is always cold to me. Sigh!" Gao Zhen looked a bit dejected.
"Don't worry! Ying is not only like that to you but also to me. That's just her personality. Put in more effort, and you'll catch up with her. Haha!"
"I hope so!"
Gao Zhen said seriously, "Wendong, during the time I'm in the hospital, the Qing Gang has no leader, and I'm afraid there will be trouble. You need to help me take care of it. I'm temporarily entrusting the management of the Qing Gang to you. If you have any questions, ask the brothers below." As he spoke, Gao Zhen 艰难地 took off a jade pendant necklace from around his neck and placed it in Xie Wendong's hand.
"Brother Gao, what is this...?"
"This is the order token of the leader of the Qing Gang. It has been passed down from my grandfather's generation. Take it. Seeing the token is like seeing the leader. If anyone dares not to listen to you, use this to order him."
Xie Wendong took the jade pendant. On it was carved a Buddha holding a sword, which was vivid and extremely exquisite. Holding it in his hand, Xie Wendong was a bit excited. Although this was just a small jade pendant, having it meant that he could command the entire Qing Gang.
Gao Zhen interrupted his thoughts and said, "Wendong, help me call the people from the gang in. I have something to tell them!"
"En!" Xie Wendong nodded and called the people outside the door into the ward. Gao Zhen originally wanted to sit up, but the intense pain in his back made him give up. He said faintly, "You are all the backbone of the Qing Gang. You should all know that the Qing Gang is going through a troubled time now, and I'm injured. The gang can't be left without someone in charge. So during my stay in the hospital, all matters of the gang will be handled by Wendong. And I have also given him the leader's order token. You should assist Wendong well and do your best to help the gang out of its predicament!"
After hearing this, the crowd looked at each other and nodded in unison. They had no objections to Xie Wendong, an outsider, taking charge of the Qing Gang. Firstly, everyone knew Xie Wendong's abilities, and secondly, they also understood the relationship between Xie Wendong and Gao Huiyu.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Gao Zhen felt relieved, and his face was filled with exhaustion. Seeing this, Xie Wendong said to the crowd, "Okay, Brother Gao's injury is still very serious, and he's a bit tired. Everyone, go back first!"
After hearing this, the crowd looked at Gao Zhen. Seeing that the latter's face was pale, they all said in unison, "Take care, Brother. We'll leave first!" Then they turned to nod at Xie Wendong and walked out of the ward one after another. Xie Wendong also stood up and said, "Brother Gao, I'll go back first too. I'll come to see you tomorrow!"
Seeing Gao Zhen nod, Xie Wendong then walked out of the ward. The backbone members of the Qing Gang didn't leave immediately. When they saw Xie Wendong come out, they quickly greeted him. After all, Xie Wendong was now in charge of the Qing Gang, and everyone wanted to build a good relationship with him first.
While talking to the crowd, Xie Wendong walked out of the hospital. Through these conversations, Xie Wendong gained a better understanding of the current Qing Gang. Among these backbone members, there were only two people that Xie Wendong thought highly of. One was called Chen Zhongwen, and the other was called Nie Wu. These two people didn't have a very high position in the Qing Gang, but Xie Wendong thought they were not simple. They were both very young, with the courage and flexible minds of young people. They were much better than those old-fashioned people.
Two days later, Gao Zhen's injury improved a bit, and he could get out of bed and walk slowly with the help of a crutch. However, Ying, whose central nervous system was damaged, still hadn't woken up. Gao Zhen stayed by her side all day long, telling her stories about his childhood. Xie Wendong also came a few times but left in a hurry after sitting for a while.
Through Gao Zhen's connections, Xie Wendong got in touch with the leaders of the provincial party committee and sent Liu Bo to the province with millions of yuan to build relationships. Through Gao Zhen's introduction, Liu Bo first got to know some ordinary officials, and later he even got in touch with the secretary of the provincial party committee. Liu Bo gave the secretary 800,000 yuan at once, with only one condition: to make the chief of the city bureau in City J leave City J! Chief Cheng was an upright person, both in his personal character and in his official duties, and he was not liked by the provincial leaders. However, due to the severe trouble caused by the underworld in City J some time ago, the provincial party committee had to appoint the capable Chief Cheng as the chief of the city bureau in City J under external pressure.
The secretary of the provincial party committee accepted the 800,000 yuan from Liu Bo and only said one sentence to him: "I can meet your request, but you have to give me a reason to transfer him away!"
Liu Bo immediately told this sentence to Xie Wendong afterwards. Xie Wendong sighed when he heard it. He understood what the secretary of the provincial party committee meant and felt sorry for a talent like Chief Cheng. Subsequently, Xie Wendong issued orders to both the Wendong Society and the Qing Gang. In general, the meaning could be summed up in one word: chaos!
In the city center of City J. Two young men in their twenties robbed a woman's handbag in public. The woman shouted loudly, "Catch the robbers!" People around gathered around. The two young men stopped when they heard this, pulled out machetes from their waists, and shouted loudly, "Damn it! I'm from the underworld. Who the hell dares to catch me if they don't want to die!"
The onlookers gave way one after another. The two young men laughed and swaggered away. The policemen standing ten meters away turned a blind eye and walked over leisurely, smoking a cigarette.
This was just one corner of City J. The whole city was in complete chaos. Criminal underworld organizations were robbing, fighting, and stealing everywhere. It was not uncommon for them to molest pretty girls in the street. The patrol policemen just laughed and pretended not to see, strolling by leisurely.
The police emergency center was busy from morning till night, and the phone calls kept coming. Finally, Chief Cheng couldn't sit still and led the people from the city bureau to deal with it in person. But it seemed that the troublemakers knew he was coming in advance. Wherever Chief Cheng led his people, it was peaceful, and they couldn't catch a single person.
In fact, the people who came with him had already secretly tipped off the troublemakers. The policemen in City J also had no good feelings towards Chief Cheng. Since he came, the second income of the policemen in City J had been cut off, and they couldn't get a single cent of the illegal money, even the policemen from the city bureau. Everyone couldn't wait for him to leave quickly and restore the original "balance" of City J.
The masses couldn't stand the daily violence of the underworld and the days of living in fear. They held a large-scale parade in front of the city government. Members of the underworld mixed in among them, taking the lead in causing trouble and throwing bricks at the glass of the city government.
When people gather together, the most feared thing is having someone take the lead. Seeing someone throw the first brick, the angry masses couldn't control their emotions and imitated one after another. The city government was almost turned into a brick field. The leaders of the municipal party committee were all in a hurry, sweating profusely. Finally, they had to send in the officers and soldiers of the 202nd Division of the garrison in City J to suppress it. Instead of improving the situation, it made the masses even more angry.
Now City J was really as Xie Wendong had wished. No matter where you went, there were constant riots, and there was no such thing as public order. Chief Cheng knew very well that it was Xie Wendong who was causing trouble, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Gradually, more and more people joined the parade, running around in the city center. At first, they were relatively orderly, but with "certain people" causing trouble among them, they gradually became crazy. The shops on both sides of the streets in the city center were looted one after another.
The secretary of the provincial party committee didn't expect that the person who gave him 800,000 yuan could make such a big mess. Just three days later, he quickly transferred Chief Cheng back to the province, scolded him severely, and logically revoked his position as the chief of the city bureau in City J. His position was temporarily taken over by the deputy chief of the city bureau in City J.
When the news reached City J, the deputy chief jumped for joy. After ten years of waiting, he finally got the position of the chief. He immediately called Xie Wendong, the underground emperor of City J, told him the news, and asked Xie Wendong to immediately stop the chaotic situation in City J.
Xie Wendong was relatively satisfied with the result of the original deputy chief taking over as the chief. He spread the word in the underworld that all underworld organizations should send people to send the troublemaking masses back home. Now that Xie Wendong was in charge of both the Wendong Society and the Qing Gang, he was simply unrivaled in the underworld of City J, standing high above others. Who would dare not listen to him? The underworld gang members went out, armed with sticks, swaggering through the streets, and beating anyone in the crowd. The underworld was different from the police and the military. They dared to do things that the violent institutions of the state government didn't dare to do. Soon, with the "close cooperation" between the underworld gangs and the city government, the parade crowd was completely driven back to their homes, and the situation in City J stabilized. The newly appointed deputy chief was even commended by the provincial party committee, and his position as the chief was confirmed.
