Age: My Small World

"Can you drive?"

At the gate of the fortress, Yang Jun gestured with his lip towards the woman.

The woman nodded calmly.

"Okay, you drive this car and follow me."

Yang Jun had already put away his car, but Lin Hao still had a car, a minivan, which he could use to transport people.

They got all the women into the car, and the two drove away.

It seemed that someone had been watching him the whole time, because only then did a few people slowly emerge and return to the fortress.

Yang Jun drove the group of people to the Causeway Bay clothing store.

He stopped the car a distance away and then told the women not to come out yet.

He then went to the store and found Zhou Yan, and explained the situation to him.

“I’ve already asked around on the way here. Most of these women are homeless. See if there are any usable people among them. Pick some and train them to be sales clerks. If all else fails, just put them on the assembly line in the factory. As long as they have food to eat, that’s fine.”

Yang Jun isn't exactly a pushover, but he doesn't mind doing small favors that he can easily help with.

"Understood, boss. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Some of the people at the clothing store were also accommodated by Zhou Yan, so he was quite familiar with the place.

And if that doesn't work, then we can just do as Yang Jun said and send them to the factory to live in the dormitory.

Fortunately, these girls had no choice and obediently followed Zhou Yan.

Yang Jun kept these girls because they were all quite good-looking; otherwise, how could Lin Hao have gotten away with them? It was because they were pretty.

In the end, only one person remained.

Yang Jun stepped forward.

"You want to go home?"

The woman shook her head.

Only then did she speak, saying, "I don't want to be controlled by anyone anymore. I want to follow you."

Her voice was quite pleasant and matched her pretty face very well.

Yang Jun shook his head and said, "I'm not a member of any gang. What are you doing following me? Working for me now is the same as following me."

The woman was immediately rendered silent.

After a long while, Yang Jun's eyes sharpened: "Interested in managing the fortress?"

He still couldn't give up the idea; if those people really ruined the fortress, it would be better for him to manage it.

The woman nodded: "Just being able to follow you is enough. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

"very good."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jun said, "Then close your eyes first."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately closed her eyes, indicating that she truly believed him.

Yang Jun then knocked her unconscious and threw her into the small world.

"It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to make sure."

He also wanted to use the spiritual water to transform the woman's body, making her healthier and stronger.

That night, Yang Jun did not return to the villa on the mountaintop, but instead found a hotel to spend the night in.

He released the woman the next day.

The woman who reappeared was in much better spirits, and her gaze toward Yang Jun was even more devout.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

To this day, the two still don't know what to call each other.

The woman immediately replied, "My name is Meng Ling, and I am twenty-one years old."

Upon hearing Meng Ling's name, Yang Jun couldn't help but think of his mother-in-law, Meng Ran; the surname was quite a coincidence. "My name is Yang Jun, you can call me boss from now on."

Calling someone "boss" or something like that feels awkward.

"Yes, boss."

"As for the situation at the walled city, there's no rush. I need to discuss it with some people first."

After all, the walled city is Hesheng's territory. If he wants to interfere, he will probably need to communicate with Zhongyi Hall first.

The city walled city is right next to the territory of the Loyalty Hall. If he can use the power of the Loyalty Hall to deter Hesheng, then he won't need to fight anymore. Otherwise, if he makes a move, he could easily wipe out the entire Hesheng.

"You help Zhou Yan for the next few days, and I'll come back to see you in a few days."

"Yes."

Having left behind the troubles here, Yang Jun still needed to go find Old Zhu's spies.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, leading him directly to the truth behind Pei Yuzhong's disappearance.

It was still early, so Yang Jun headed towards Central.

That's right, the person Old Zhu arranged lives in Central, where property prices are quite high. I didn't expect this spy to be so capable.

If Yang Jun really looked into it, he would have found that Pei Yuzhong's family owned quite a few properties, making him a second-generation rich kid, and his grandfather had even helped him...

It is precisely because of this clean background that Zhu Yong would hire someone.

Arriving at a street-side phone booth in Central, Yang Jun inserted two coins and began dialing.

Nowadays, phone calls need to be relayed, so he didn't dare say anything nonsensical on the line; he just wanted to find that person directly.

After agreeing to meet at a nearby overpass in the afternoon, Yang Jun first went to a coffee shop to sit for a while, ordered an Americano, which tasted rather unpleasant than tea.

Of course, it takes time to get used to drinking coffee, and those who are naturally fond of it may have different genes.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Jun checked his watch, then walked to the foot of the overpass with his unfinished coffee.

When he arrived, he found a young man leaning against the wall, engrossed in reading a newspaper.

Yang Jun didn't even need to ask; he already knew his identity.

With his keen senses, he could see that the guy's eyes, hidden behind the newspaper, were darting around, clearly indicating that he was investigating something.

Yang Jun walked straight to him without saying a word, and just took a sip of coffee.

The young man raised an eyebrow: "Since ancient times, who has ever escaped death?"

Yang Jun replied, "I will leave my loyal heart to shine in history."

The young man didn't seem to think it was childish; instead, he gestured to Yang Jun and headed off in one direction.

Once they reached a secluded spot, the young man said, "I couldn't speak earlier, so I haven't asked yet?"

"Actually, I'm just a temporary worker, you don't need to know anything."

The young man almost rolled his eyes. Would Director Zhu really send a temporary worker to contact him? He didn't believe it. After all, his personal staff was top secret here.

"You asked me to come out because of Pei Yuzhong, right? I've already prepared the information for you."

As he spoke, he handed over the documents.

Yang Jun wanted to say that he had already solved the problem, but the next second he calmly took the documents.

Were we set up?

"That's right, Comrade Pei was probably set up, but the other party probably doesn't know his identity; it's just a ploy to target the Pei family."

The young man sighed.

He was also a second-generation rich kid, so he naturally knew that such things were hard to avoid, but being framed and eliminated still made him feel a little disheartened. Such an opponent was really worrying.

"Do you know which one it is?"

Now that the young man has become a new high-ranking spy, he must have received a great deal of information.

It's important to understand that this young man isn't the only one fighting alone in this port city; there are many more hidden figures, and he's simply acting as the leader. (End of Chapter)
