Chen Jianan didn’t know what to say since it was beyond his expectation and only laughed helplessly, feeling that the wooden stick in his hand was very hot like a hot potato, which symbolized the identity of the red stick.

At first he joined the He Xing Society just to live a little better life and since he didn’t have any ambition he just thought of dawdling a little more and didn’t think of becoming a real gangster to hide his clumsiness for so long, but suddenly everything changed and he finally got to this point. 

If it were to be any other person they would be overjoyed to celebrate becoming a red stick, but he, he was happy for this unexpected event and felt hereafter life won’t be hard but at the same time more than that he wondered whether his father would blow his head if he came to know about this. Completely unaware that his thoughts were going to be true soon.

A new red stick was appointed to the society, so naturally it was time to celebrate. Zhao Shanhai took everyone to the restaurant to have a big meal, by the time they finished the meal the sky was already darkened he led Chen Jianan to Lido to have fun.

At first Chen Jianan was a bit sober, but after a few consecutive rounds of drinks, he couldn’t resist his drunkenness and became unconscious before the dance could end.

It was what happened before now it was the scene.

He looked across the bed to the beauty. In fact she was fully dressed, but the thing was it was semi transparent although it was covered it didn’t cover anything, making the person go insane. Her snow-white skin, belly button and cleavage and waves almost made him dizzy. He quickly closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead and said, “Jia bao, right? Quickly put your clothes on.”

Jia Bao ignored him and simply lay down on her side, propping up her cheeks with one hand, revealing a charming smile and said, “Brother Anan, don’t I look good in this outfit?”

She was wearing a rose silk halter nightgown with a lace border on the chest. As the top dancer of the Lido, Jia Bao was quite expensive, mostly accompanying dancers and rarely spending the night, unless the price was high enough.

But no one wanted to be a dancer for a lifetime, and if she could keep up with He Xing society bosses life would be a lot easier, especially a young man like Chen Jianan.

Tonight was a great opportunity. So how could she miss it? She gave in full swing.

However, Chen Jianan was beaten with twenty sticks and drank an unknown number of white wine and foreign wines. At this time, not only his body aches but his head too, so how could he appreciate the charm of the top dancer?

He held his head with both hands, knocked hard, and said bitterly: “I don’t know if it looks good, but your collar is too low, making me dizzy.”

Jia Bao froze for a moment, then giggled, thinking it was his way of flirting, and crawled forward again. Just as she was about to get closer to him. “You, stay away from me.”  he shouted loudly while backing away a few steps, and pointing to the head. “I’m so dizzy.”

Having been in this field of wind and moon Jia Bao was now clear that he wasn’t flirting with her, but really not interested in her charms.

She sat up a little straighter and smiled: “Brother Anan, I heard that you are still a baby chicken, don’t worry, I will make you want to die tonight.”

Rubbing his sore back Chen Jianan rebutted: “Who said I am a baby chicken!”

“Fourth brothers said.” Jia Bao replied calmly.

“Phew! That’s a rumor from the Fourth Brother.”

Jia Bao was amused by him: “It’s better if it’s not, we can play around.”

Chen Jianan interrupted her with a wave of hand: “Let’s talk about it later, I feel pain all over my body now, and I can’t do anything. Why should you go out?”

“That won’t work, if I walk out now, people will know we didn’t do anything. Then not only will I lose my face as the top card, but you, brother Anan will also be suspected of not being able to do anything.”

“Who said I can’t?” Chen Jianan was furious.

Jia Bao laughed: “Then prove it to everyone!”

Chen Jianan touched his head and lowered his voice: “…but I really can’t do it tonight.”

Jia Bao saw that he was really uncomfortable and didn’t force it, and moved out of the big bed, “Brother Anan, I won’t bother you anymore. You lie down and rest well.”

Chen Jianan climbed onto the bed and lay on his stomach, raised his eyelids, and looked at the woman sitting next to him. After thinking for a while, he said, “Jia Bao, you’re pretty good-looking, I don’t have this idea because my body hurts a lot”

Although he had never thought about women, it does not mean that he has no ability to distinguish beauty and ugliness. In his opinion, Jia Bao was indeed a very beautiful, and no normal man should be able to escape her charm. It’s just that he may indeed be abnormal, even though he didn’t reject women, but he never seemed to have an impulse towards women.

Jia Bao giggled, “If men were like Brother Nan, my life would be much better.”

In fact, she was still a bit unwilling and tried to show her charm again, but the man on the bed had already fallen asleep.

The next morning, Qiao Wen was awakened by the noisy quarrel upstairs in his half-sleep state. When he opened his eyes, the sky seemed to have just dawned, it was only the early hour of six.

The noise upstairs couldn’t be more real, indicating that it was not a dream just now. He rubbed his wistful eyes and sat up. His Grandma walked in with the breakfast to the table, saw him getting up and sighed: “Awen, are you awake? This early in the morning, Anan’s father is beating Anan again.”

Qiao Wen immediately got out of bed and said while putting on slippers: “Grandma, I will go upstairs and have a look.”

The grandmother said: “Anan is such a big boy, how can a father still beat him at the drop of a hat. You go up and persuade your uncle Chen so that he does not hit Anan hard.”

Qiao Wen nodded: “I understand.”

He went upstairs in two-three steps, the door of the Chen family was already wide open, and there really was a scene of chicken and dog flying inside. Holding a feather duster, Father Chen was angrily lashing at his son on the ground.

A man as big as Chen Jianan, now holding his head curled up into a ball, like a rolling gopher, avoiding his father’s whip, and howling in pain.

It was said to be dodging, but in fact it was just an action. After all, with his skill, if he really wanted to dodge, it would be impossible for Chen’s father’s feather duster to fall on him.

However, the crackling sound was painful just to hear it.

Haozi and his parents were pulling and persuading, but Father Chen was like a stubborn donkey. The more persuaded, the harder he fights. Seeing Qiao Wen coming in, Haozi quickly ran to his side, pulled him, and said in a low voice: “It’s over, my uncle is really angry today.”

Qiao Wen asked: “What’s going on?”

Haozi covered his mouth and said, “You don’t know, do you? Last night my brother was called by Lord Leopard to promote him to the red club of Hexing Society. After that, he spends a night in Lido with the top dancer Jia Bao. After knowing this my uncle is dying of anger!”

Qiao Wen looked at Father Chen, his weathered face was really flushed, and his eyes were so red that he looked extremely angry.

“You son of b*@$&, you have grown up and become a red stick, do you still want to be a gangster in the future?”

“Dad! I was wrong!” Chen Jianan cried, holding his head, “I don’t want to be like this either!”

Father Chen slammed a feather duster on his back, gasping for breath: “At the beginning, I asked you to study well, but you didn’t study it. I asked you to learn craftsmanship, but you didn’t learn, but insisted on going to the club, saying you want to protect everyone from being bullied, so I let you. It turns out that your purpose is to become a big boss. I think I might as well beat you to death, so as not to let you go out and harm people!” At the end of the speech, he almost roared painfully. “You tell me how I can face your dead mother!”

At the end Father Chen’s voice trembled a bit like crying. It could be seen that what this hapless son had done really made him distraught, and the strength in his hands was naturally not much smaller.

Although the chances of a feather duster killing a big guy were slim to none, watching Chen Jianan gasping in pain, his forehead and cheeks were dripping with cold sweat, making a person heartache. As he lay on the ground with his head in his arms, his clothes lifted up, there was still a patch of redness on his back.

From the look of it, it was not just played by Father Chen, it is estimated that he was punished by Zhao Shanhai last night.

At first, Awen had no intention to step forward to invert him as long as he didn’t hit him too much, but after seeing his red and purple mark he felt a thud in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of him: “Uncle Chen, don’t hit him. Brother Nan still has injuries on his body. Be careful you’ll really hurt him.”

Naturally Father Chen didn’t really want to beat his only son to death. It was just that he was so angry and the more the family members persuade him the angrier he became, now came Qiao Wen. He finally came back to his senses a little, on the slope to stop, held up a feather duster, and pointed tremblingly at Chen Jianan who was grunting on the ground: “If you are half obedient and sensible as Awen, I won’t be mad at you.”

Qiao Wen helped Father Chen’s hand down and said: “Uncle Chen, calm down, I will take Brother Nan downstairs to wipe some medicine.”

Father Chen also knew that his son had been punished on Zhao Shanhai’s side. How could he really not feel distressed at all, but he waved his hand with disgust on his face: “Take him away quickly, do not obstruct my eyes here.”

Qiao Wen quickly picked up Chen Jianan, slipping away like oil on the soles of his feet.

In the downstairs home, the hardworking Granny Qiao has already prepared breakfast and gone to the stall.

Chen Jianan sat down on the cloth sofa, feeling that every inch of his body hurts, hugging Qiao Wen’s arm and groaning: “Xiao Qiao, I am about to die of pain.”

Qiao Wen didn’t know if it was his illusion but he felt that this guy seemed to be more and more fond of acting coquettish to him. Could it be that his subconscious could feel that he was actually much older than him and could be his elder brother?

He pulled out his arm and said, “I’ll bring in the breakfast. You smell of wine, eat something first.”

Today Grandma cooked wonton, presumably knowing that Chen Jianan would be rescued by Qiao Wen and will come downstairs, so she made two bowls and placed them on the narrow stove, which was steaming hot and fragrant at the moment. Qiao Wen took some shrimp skins and put them in, took two bowls back to the house, and put them on the coffee table.

Chen Jianan was in so much pain that he couldn’t sit still, but when he smelled the fragrance, his whole body came back to life: “It’s been a long time since I ate the wontons cooked by grandma, I miss them so much.”

Qiao Wen chuckled: “Hurry up, let’s eat, and lie down and rest.”

Chen Jianan was indeed hungry, a bowl of steaming wontons, and even the soup were wiped clean in two minutes. Most of the discomfort of the hangover faded, but the wound on his body still hurts badly. He rubbed his stomach for a little to ease, and Qiao Wen slowly finished eating and cleaning up the dishes, he moved to the familiar small bed and lay down heavily. Wanting to sleep heavily, leaving his worries to the Pacific Ocean.

It’s just that last night’s stick and this morning’s feather duster were burning and painful.

After Qiao Wen cleaned up and went into the room, he saw him lying on his pillow moaning, walked over, and lifted his clothes, it was really red and swollen.

“I’ll rub some medicine for you.”

Chen Jianan turned his head and said, “Xiao Qiao, why didn’t you ask me why my father beat me?”

Qiao Wen walked over with the medicinal wine, sat down beside him, and said lightly, “Isn’t it because you became a He Xing Society red stick? Haozi just told me.”

“You know?” Chen Jianan was surprised, “Then why didn’t you react? My father is dying of anger.”

Qiao Wen poured the medicinal wine on the red swelling on his back, rubbed it away with the palm of his hand, and amidst his screaming, he said: “You have made meritorious service in Vietnam this time, and Lord Leopard’s $200,000 is safe in his pocket, and he already knows that you are so capable of fighting, how could he let you go back to continue to be a four-nine boy.”

Chen Jianan sucked in a cold breath and said: “I thought that after all Fei was injured by me, he is also Leopard’s half son. For the sake of Fei’s face, Leopard would not promote me to be a red stick so quickly.”

Qiao Wen corners of his mouth twitched contemptuously: “The boss only cares about profit, you can work for him, of course, you will be caught first. Besides, Qin Yunfei hurt his leg, and it won’t be better for a while, I guess Lord Leopard is counting on you to replace Qin Yunfei at work.”

Chen Jianan snorted: “Brother Fei is doing dirty work, so I won’t do it.” Qiao Wen exerted a little force, and he sucked in the air again, “Lighter, lighter!”

Qiao Wen said: “When you chose to join the Hexing Society, you got on someone else’s boat. You can’t decide on this path by yourself. You have no money, no power, and few people, and you have family members. You can’t fight against them, just fool around, for the time being, we will slowly figure out a solution.”

Chen Jianan lay back on the bed, and said in a huff: “Xiao Qiao, I know you do not like me to mix the community, you can rest assured that I will not go to do harm to God.”

Qiao Wen laughed: “Of course I believe you.” After that, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, Haozi said that you spent the night with the top dancer in the Lido last night. Is it true?”

The author has something to say: Brother Nan: I’m not really going to become the boss, right?

Xiao Qiao: Don’t even think about it, I won’t allow it.
