Chapter 644: Acquired a Military Strategist
“If your leg was hurt, don’t get up!” Yang Ming quickly waved his hand and stopped Lu Xinyang. “How are you?”
“Boss… I…” Lu Xinyang said a little guiltily, “Thank you for your concern, but it was my fault…”
“How can you blame yourself if you’re injured? No one is prepared for an accident.” Yang Ming shook his head. “Where is the injury? Let me have a look.”
“Boss… In fact, it was me who made the call to increase the intensity of training for myself which caused me to get injured…” Lu Xinyang said, embarrassed, “The injury is on my leg. You don’t need to look at it… I haven’t taken a shower for a few days, and the sweat stench on my body is too heavy…”
” Oh ?” Yang Ming was stunned and looked at Wang Peng, baffled.
Wang Peng also smiled bitterly. “Boss, Lu Xinyang’s physical fitness is worse than others, so the degree of acceptance during training is weaker. In order to catch up with others, he can only train himself more intensely.
Yang Ming frowned after hearing it. “This can’t be. Don’t let him do that in the future. Improvement doesn’t come as such. Wang Peng and Li Qiang, you two should pay more attention to it later. If there are others doing so, you must stop it.”
“The other people’s physical fitness is similar,” Li Qiang said. “Even if it is a little bit worse, it won’t have much impact. Lu Xinyang is a special case.”
” Oh ? Lu Xinyang, since your physical fitness isn’t good, why do you learn martial arts?” Yang Ming also noticed it now. Lu Xinyang’s qualification wasn’t high. It was very difficult for him to make a breakthrough.
This was the same as those martial arts practitioners in the past. Many of the brothers and sisters who entered the clan at the same time practiced together every day, but in the end, some people became peerless masters, while others were mediocre in their lives.
Therefore, the practice of martial arts couldn’t solely be improved by self-effort. In many cases, the pay and return weren’t proportional. Take Yang Ming as an example. Even Fang Tian was surprised at the speed of his growth!
In those ten days of training, many of those who were Yang Ming’s opponents started the assassin training from an early age, but they were still not his opponent. Even a few of those people together were not his opponent.
These were everyone’s own endowments. These things cannot be changed innately by effort.
When Wang Peng heard Yang Ming’s tone, he was horrified. He thought that Yang Ming no longer saw any usefulness from Lu Xinyang and wanted to get rid of Lu Xinyang, so he quickly explained, “Boss, even though Lu Xinyang is poorer in natural endowments, now he is already not bad. Although he isn’t better than us, he is definitely better than the rest of the security company! Moreover, Lu Xinyang is quick-witted. Although his martial arts are mediocre, at Martial Arts School, we all call him Xiao Zhuge [1]…”
These people were all from the Martial Arts School. Their relationship was like brothers. Naturally, they didn’t want to have one of them to be eliminated. As the captain of one of the three squads, Wang Peng had to speak for Lu Xinyang.
The reason why he mentioned Lu Xinyang’s strength in other aspects was that he wanted to let the boss know that even though Lu Xinyang wasn’t good at martial arts, he was still good at other things and not useless.
” Oh ?” Yang Ming looked at Lu Xinyang curiously. When Yang Ming entered the room, he noticed the Art of War in Lu Xinyang’s hands. He also wondered whether or not Lu Xinyang could understand it, but he didn’t expect this fellow to really have this talent! “I didn’t notice that you have talent in this area!”
“Boss… I just had nothing to do and pondered a little bit of something… Please don’t listen to how Captain Wang Peng exaggerated it…” Lu Xinyang scratched his head and said embarrassingly.
“In this case, I will take a look at your wound first. Then, we will talk about other things.” Yang Ming decided to test Lu Xinyang in the end. Now, what Yang Ming lacked the most was talent, moreover, smart talent.
Now, with the business’ development, Yang Ming felt a little powerless. I’m already so busy at this scale. If I expand again, won’t I work myself to death?
How did Liu Xiu, the Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty die? Wasn’t it because of the fact that he was exhausted to death? Now, if Yang Ming had to personally plan and follow up, even if he didn’t exhaust himself to death, it would be agony.
For example, Li Qiang had the strength but they were missing a think tank, a character like a military strategist. If this Lu Xinyang was a strategist figure as Wang Peng said, then Yang Ming really got a fortune!
Lu Xinyangin rolled up his pants in fear and trepidation. Yang Ming glanced, then smiled and said, “It’s easy. I promise you can walk on the ground in a few moments!”
After that, Yang Ming took out a bottle of medicinal liquor prepared from Fang Tian’s secret recipe. This was a necessity and was often used when performing tasks, so Yang Ming carried a bottle every day.
Like the master key, these things were common day-to-day items. Yang Ming always had them with him.
Seeing that Yang Ming wanted to apply the medicine on him, and the bottle was very small, Lu Xinyang subconsciously thought that this medicine was definitely very expensive, so he quickly said, “Boss, I still think that we should forget it. I will lie down for a few days. You don’t have to waste your medicine…”
This medicine was really expensive. It was hard to find outside, but this was Yang Ming’s own formula. Although the cost wasn’t low, Yang Ming now had money… It didn’t matter at all.
“Tonight, there is a mission for you to do!” Yang Ming said as he waved his hand in seriousness. “This is your first mission. I don’t want any of you to be absent! If it is because of this little injury, and you can’t take part in the action, I think you would regret it, right?”
Yang Ming’s words made the people around him have their blood boiling. We have a mission today? It was no wonder that these days really bored these people! Every day in the abandoned warehouse, they were training non-stop. They didn’t have the chance to test their strength!
Therefore, as soon as Yang Ming said that he would give them a mission today, Li Qiang’s and Wang Peng’s eyes were immediately glowing. Lu Xinyang was even more excited. He didn’t expect the boss to personally heal him for the fear of him regretting later on! This made him very moved. If it wasn’t for the fact that men shouldn’t cry so easily, he might already be in tears.
Resisting the urge to have his tears gush out, Lu Xinyang secretly vowed to follow the boss in the future and serve him in any way.
Yang Ming was originally proficient in massage techniques and coupled with the cooperation of good medicine, Lu Xinyang felt that the bruises on his legs were cooled. The pain from before dissipated a lot.
“Okay, take a break and you will be fine!” Yang Ming stood up and clapped his hands.
“Boss…” Lu Xinyang wanted to say thank you, but he couldn’t say it. In this scenario, all the pleasantries were superfluous.
“Well, Wang Peng, since you said that Lu Xinyang is a resourceful person, then listen together.” Yang Ming said, “In a while, all of you will go to Jidun City. This mission is to eliminate Jidun City’s underworld, Money Gang.”
“Good!” Li Qiang agreed without thinking. He had been idle enough. When he heard that it was to sweep away a gang, naturally, he agreed.
Telling them to do something to innocent people, Li Qiang couldn’t do it. But when it came to gangsters, there was no need for sympathy. They had heard of this Money Gang before. One of the team member’s hometown was in Jidun City.
Jidun City’s underworld organization was called the Money Gang. Firstly, it was because Guo Jinbiao’s name had the word money in it. But, the most important thing was that this gang seized any opportunity to seek nothing but profit!
In the eyes of the Money Gang, only money was recognized, and there were no morals. This gang controlled almost all the businesses in Jidun City. They had set a corresponding protection fee for each business. From the catering business to the bookstore and department store, none wouldn’t give Money Gang a protection fee, otherwise, they couldn’t do their business!
If it was a reasonable fee, this was nothing. After all, some entertainment venues were eager to have gangs provide protection, but those bookstores, cultural and educational department stores, didn’t need any protection at all.
However, Guo Jinbiao was extremely greedy. The fees set for these businesses were even higher than the formal taxation from the tax bureau! As a result, immediately some businesses were suffering miserably!
Those hotels and entertainment businesses could afford it, but the stores with little profit such as small supermarkets and small hardware stores couldn’t afford it. They originally had a small profit but it had a quick turnover. Now, it was even more miserable with this protection fee, but no one dared to speak out.
Fine. Did you dare to call the police? Anyway, those who came to collect the protection fee door-to-door were small punks. After getting arrested for a few days, hundreds of small punks would come to destroy your home the next day!
