Age: My Small World

Port city.

After the regulatory adjustments over this period of time, many people have gradually adapted to the existence of gangs.

Anyway, they probably won't easily harm ordinary people; you just need to pay the money normally.

As a result, more people gave up, which allowed Lei Guan's idea to come true. He truly accomplished what even the police commissioner could not do.

Of course, this was also related to his initial caution and his subordinates' patience in collecting money peacefully. However, once the plan was rolled out across the entire port city, his ambition and focus were no longer on ordinary people. Instead, he forcefully implemented his methods to achieve this so-called goal.

As a result, Lei Guan's plan actually faced a lot of opposition in its later stages, but unfortunately, it was all suppressed by the gangs, since the four major gangs were also beneficiaries of Lei Guan's plan.

In such a noisy environment, no one knew that a figure had quietly entered the port city once again.

The moment Yang Jun arrived in the port city, he sensed an atmosphere different from the previous day.

To be fair, while Lei Guan's plan was fundamentally flawed, serving only his own interests, the benefits it brought were far greater than those from the fighting among dozens of gangs. At least for the past few months, the peaceful environment has allowed the port city's commerce to flourish again, with many companies springing up like mushrooms after rain.

However, the one who benefited the most was naturally Lei Guan.

Lei Guan's ordinary life has been completely transformed. He now earns a fortune every day. Even if he lies down and does nothing, his henchmen will collect large sums of money for him and put them into his villa as bundles of banknotes.

Even Lei Guan didn't know how much money he had. He only knew that many of his banknotes were starting to get infested with insects and even rats were breeding in them, but he never worried about money.

No one could believe that once a room was filled with money, no one ever opened its door again, and the money was locked away and never circulated again.

Lei Guan wasn't exactly a miser, but his love for money grew day by day, gradually turning him into a glutton, with no end in sight.

Causeway Bay.

Yang Jun immediately found Zhou Yan, who was in charge of the clothing store.

Compared to outsiders, he naturally trusted the Zhou family father and son who were unconditionally loyal to him the most.

Zhou Yan is now married to the girl he brought to the shop; her real name is Ye Xiuxiu, and she has given birth to a son for him.

The two had a very good relationship. After their son was born last year, Zhou Yan even funded the opening of a cheongsam tailor shop for Ye Xiuxiu, because Ye Xiuxiu had excellent tailoring skills and was very popular with customers.

The couple treated each other with respect and had a harmonious relationship.

When Yang Jun found Zhou Yan, he was in the shop with his son.

"Master!"

Zhou Yan was overjoyed by Yang Jun's arrival, but calmed down after seeing Yang Jun wave.

The two then went to the upstairs office of the shop.

"Xiaoxiao, come and call the boss. When Xiaoxiao grows up, she will work for the boss too."

Yang Jun also knew about Zhou Xiao. Last year, he didn't have time to come over, so he could only send his blessings to Zhou Yan via telegram.

Now that he had seen the child, he made up for his gift with a jade pendant containing a drop of spiritual water. He only discovered later that this thing could preserve the spiritual water for a long time.

The long-term release of spiritual energy from the jade can also benefit children, at least ensuring they grow up healthy and free from illness. It must be said, crafting such a pendant took considerable effort, and now he plans to give one of these to his close relatives to ensure their good health. In an emergency, the jade can even be broken to drink the spiritual water within, potentially saving lives.

Of course, this news can only be shared with a few of my closest friends and family.

"Don't call me boss anymore, just call me uncle. Anyway, I'm not that much older than you."

“It’s the boss.” Zhou Yan nodded happily.

He then taught his son to say "uncle," but the child was too young, only one year old, so he spoke haltingly, though he could still manage to say "uncle" once or twice.

After a while, Ye Xiuxiu came over and took her son downstairs before the two of them started talking about serious business.

"Tell me, how's the situation now?"

It wasn't Zhou Yan who sent Yang Jun over, but Xu Shanshan. However, Zhou Yan also explained the current crisis in his telegram to Yang Jun.

Unlike before, when a chief detective coveted their shop, now it's Lei Guan, who has a closer relationship with them, who is also eyeing the business.

In recent years, Junlang Group has been so dazzling that it has gradually become a star in the port city's garment industry, making more and more money, which makes Lei Guan, who only knows how to collect money, extremely envious.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to take over Junlang Group and make it his front man.

This is also mainly related to the fact that Lei Bao is now in charge of Zhongyi Hall.

After Jiang Gong and Lei Guan broke off relations, his fate was predictable. Even as the founder of Zhongyi Hall, he could not escape the ways of the martial world and died an unnatural death.

Bribing an assassin to kill Lei Guan? How could he possibly have a good ending?
Fortunately, he had sent his wife and children abroad long ago, so the Chiang family still enjoys a great reputation in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.

On the contrary, Lei Bao, who was originally a loyal and righteous man, suddenly became the one who plotted to kill the boss and take the position, causing his character to gradually deteriorate.

You should know that Lei Bao was once a brave and responsible man, but now he has been almost forced into rebellion by his nephew.

Lei Guan wanted him to take the helm of Zhongyi Hall, naturally hoping that it would be better for the gang to have his own people looking after it. He even hoped that one day, the four major gangs could be merged into one, and Zhongyi Hall could dominate the gang affairs in Hong Kong. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
However, what he had to face was Lei Bao's heart, which was increasingly being consumed by loyalty and righteousness.

As a man of loyalty and righteousness, Lei Bao could hardly bear the guilt he felt every day. So, just a few days ago, he took his own life. In the main hall of the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, he used his own blood to prove his loyalty and gratitude to Jiang Gong.

However, this resulted in Lei Guan losing his last family member, and also transformed him from a chief detective with principles into a ruthless person who would stop at nothing.

This is also the reality that Junlang Group must face.

Yes, Lei Guan made his move, and Junlang Group couldn't withstand his pressure at all.

If Yang Jun doesn't show up, Junlang Group will change hands within a week at most.

"I'm sorry, boss, it's my fault for not doing a good job."

Zhou Yan said with considerable remorse.

If he weren't incompetent, he wouldn't need to send his employer across thousands of miles to the port city to handle things personally every time a crisis arises.

"It's alright. I know it wasn't your fault; you just encountered an unavoidable risk. You can treat it as a test and do better next time." (End of Chapter)
