CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 655: SWORN TO FOLLOW (4/5)

On the way, Gao Hong seemed like he was in a daze, leaning against the seat back, staring blankly ahead, eyes vacant, as if he had lost his soul.

When they arrived at South Street, Gao Hong gave the driver money and got out of the car without taking the change, walking dazedly towards the place where Hu Zi’an and the others were sitting.

The few of them quickly noticed Gao Hong, and seeing him in such a soul-lost state, they felt a pang of alarm and hurriedly stood up, looking at Gao Hong.

Gao Hong walked back, sat down dully, picked up a bottle of beer, and started gulping it down without caring whose it was.

Hu Zi’an was extremely worried and quickly asked, "Brother Hong, what exactly happened? What’s going on?"

This bottle of beer was mostly spilled all over Gao Hong himself, but he didn’t seem to feel it at all.

When the beer was drained, Gao Hong finally placed the bottle heavily on the table, looked at the people in front of him, and muttered blankly, "I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Hu Zi’an couldn’t be more anxious, "What on earth happened? What did you do wrong?"

Gao Hong shook his head, "At that time, I even thought of questioning him. I even thought of questioning him; it was so stupid, I was really so stupid!"

"Gao Hong!" Hu Zi’an angrily shouted, "What exactly happened? Tell us already!"

Gao Hong raised his head and looked at him, saying, "The boss is in danger."

"What!" Everyone exclaimed in shock, quickly asking, "What happened?"

"What danger?"

"What happened?"

The people started talking all at once.

Gao Hong lowered his head, covering his face, and said, "The boss went to save sister-in-law, it’s very dangerous! That’s why he took away your badges, so you would misunderstand him! So you would stay away from him, so you would live normal lives. He knew this time was very dangerous, that he might not come back, and he was afraid of implicating you, afraid of hurting you, so he drove you away. Everything he did was for us! He was protecting us! The boss would rather be misunderstood by us than not protect us!"

After saying this, Gao Hong couldn’t hold back his tears.

The other six were stunned, sitting down like their souls had been snatched away.

They couldn’t imagine the situation turning out this way.

They knew Yang Chen’s intentions because they understood if they knew Yang Chen was in danger, they would rush in regardless.

So, Yang Chen drove them away, allowing them to live normal lives.

That Yang Chen did this means he really might not make it back!

"How could this be? How could this be?" Hu Zi’an couldn’t accept this outcome.

Gao Hong glanced at him and said, "This is all my fault, the boss was actually arranging things from the start. He visited all the sacrificed brothers’ homes, helping them with family matters and leaving money for future development. He even gave me a few million to continue supporting them! And asked me to contact you, to see how you’re living... He even told me quietly, if you have financial troubles, give each of you tens of thousands... This, this is basically final arrangements, not leaving regrets! I was too stupid to see it! It’s all because of me, all because of me!"

After hearing this, Hu Zi’an was stunned, eyes widening in disbelief.

After a long pause, Guan Xiaoke slapped the table and stood, shouting, "Brothers! Let’s not just be sad! Since the boss went this far thinking of us, shouldn’t we do something?"

The others paused and looked at Guan Xiaoke.

Hu Zi’an slapped the table and stood, looking at Gao Hong, "Brother Hong, you were with the boss longer, tell us, what do we do now?"

Gao Hong looked at the brothers whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, and said firmly, "Alright!"

He also stood, looking at them, "What do you all think we should do?"

They exchanged glances, reading mutual understanding from each other’s eyes, then shouted together, "Follow unto death!"

Once a Langya, always a Langya!

In life, they are Langya’s people, in death, Langya’s ghosts!

They vowed their allegiance to the Wolf King, never to betray him!

Now that Yang Chen is in danger, they naturally must follow without hesitation, unto death!

Looking at these six brothers, Gao Hong was deeply moved and extended his hand, "Brothers!"

"Brother!" Hu Zi’an put his hand on top of Gao Hong’s.

"Brother!" Guan Xiaoke also followed.

Hu Mingxuan: "Brother!"

Wei Peng: "Brother!"

Bai Lei: "Brother!"

Gan Wei: "Brother!"

Gao Hong said solemnly, "For the boss!"

"For the boss!" they all echoed.

Gao Hong: "Follow unto death!"

All six: "Follow unto death!"

Gao Hong raised his palm high and brought it down heavily with the others.

Gao Hong looked at them seriously and said, "I’ll give you just tonight and half of tomorrow to settle things behind you. I’ll be in touch once I’m ready!"

"Understood!" Hu Zi’an nodded.

"Don’t worry!" Guan Xiaoke also nodded.

Gan Wei said seriously, "We are always ready!"

Wei Peng, clutching the wolf head badge, said sternly, "We are the Langya! Always ready for battle!"

Bai Lei said seriously, "You must hurry!"

Gao Hong nodded, saying, "Then let’s disperse for now!"

"Alright!"

Everyone promptly left.

They had many tasks to do and couldn’t waste time at the table.

Gao Hong also hailed a cab, heading for the Security Zone.

Gao Hong returned very late but still summoned the courage to knock on Li Muyang’s door.

Seeing Gao Hong, Li Muyang frowned, "What is it?"

"Major! My boss is in danger!" Gao Hong said solemnly.

He knew Li Muyang’s relationship with Yang Chen, knew Li Muyang wouldn’t just ignore Yang Chen’s situation.

As expected. Li Muyang’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

"What happened? What danger? What occurred?" Li Muyang asked a barrage of questions.

Gao Hong looked around and said, "Can we talk inside?"

"Get in quickly!" Li Muyang dragged Gao Hong inside, closed the door, pointed at him and said, "Sit down and explain clearly what happened, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Gao Hong looked at Li Muyang and said solemnly, "The boss went to save sister-in-law!"

"What!" Li Muyang exclaimed, his voice rising instantly!

Gao Hong gestured for Li Muyang to lower his voice.

Li Muyang pulled Gao Hong aside, whispering, "Where did you get this information?"

Gao Hong said solemnly, "From Chen Siyan and Wei Xueqing, and then..."

Gao Hong explained how Yang Chen started visiting the families of the fallen brothers, later meeting those who retired...

After hearing this, Li Muyang’s face darkened.

"This... is indeed Yang Chen’s character."

Gao Hong looked intently at Li Muyang and said solemnly, "So! Brother Li, I’m asking for your help! We want to help the boss, this action is very dangerous, we can’t just stand by!"

Li Muyang snorted coldly, glaring at Gao Hong, "Help? With what can you help? With your little strength, not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, just cannon fodder!"

He knew well the terrifying prowess of those from the Shangqing Sect!
