"Big guy!"

Upon seeing Ren Jiu enter, Ah Huai quickly stood up to greet him.

"Sit down!" Ren Jiu greeted, while carefully examining Ah Huai.

Ah Huai, with his white-haired head and a totem-like tattoo on his neck, has an arrogant face and a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

However, he behaved quite obediently in front of Ren Jiu. After all, although he had some fame, he did not have a gang background, so he was not qualified to act arrogantly in front of Ren Jiu.

"Listen to me, you want to work for me?" Ren Jiu asked him.

"Yes, boss!" Ah Huai nodded hurriedly and said, "I want to join the Sanlian Gang. I hope you can accept me!"

As he nodded, Ren Jiu activated the loyalty checker to examine his loyalty level.

Currently, Ah Huai's loyalty to him is only in the seventies, which is not high. However, this is normal, since this is the first time Ah Huai has met him. It would be strange if the loyalty were high.

He wasn't too concerned about this, because he knew from watching movies in his previous life that Ah Huai was a loyal person, unlike that traitor with a braid who ultimately betrayed his boss.

“Alright, since you’re willing to follow me, then from now on you’ll work for me. I’ll be your boss!” Ren Jiu said.

"Thank you, boss!" Ah Huai stood up excitedly and bowed.

Having been in the underworld for so long, he knew the importance of having powerful backers. As the largest gang in Taiwan, joining the Three Alliance would only bring him benefits, not harm.

Meanwhile, in a villa in the suburbs of Taipei, Liu Jian was having tea with Deputy Director Gao of the Police Department.

"Director Gao, how about trying this tea? This is pre-Qingming Longjing tea that I had someone bring back from the mainland. It has a very mellow flavor!" Liu Jian said with a smile as he poured a cup of tea for him.

"Deputy Director, just call me Deputy Director," Deputy Director Gao said. "If someone with ulterior motives hears you calling me that, they might think I'm trying to seize power!"

"Director Gao is joking. In my opinion, that position will be yours sooner or later!" Liu Jian flattered.

Liu Jian was released from Green Island just a few months ago, but he looks nothing like someone who has just been released from Green Island. Instead, he looks like a successful entrepreneur.

His dramatic transformation was due to meeting a benefactor, Deputy Director Gao.

The transformation from a penniless ex-convict to the chairman of Jiande Group was entirely due to his cooperation with Deputy Director Gao.

His Jiande Group ostensibly engages in import and export business, but in reality, it's all about the underworld. Its official name is Jiande Group, but its gang name in the underworld is Jianhe Society.

His achievements and status today are partly due to his hard work, but even more so due to the support he received from Deputy Director Gao.

"Don't say things like that again. Before you reach that point, anything can happen. Overconfidence will only make you lose sight of the situation!" Deputy Director Gao said calmly.

"You're truly insightful, Director. I was presumptuous!" Liu Jian flattered him again.

Deputy Director Gao was clearly buying it. "It's good that you understand the principle. How's the plan going?"

The plan he mentioned was the business blueprint that Liu Jian had outlined when he was supporting Liu Jian.

"The progress is going very smoothly. The products produced by our pharmacy are very popular in the market. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Health and Wellness Association will be able to take over the entire Taipei City. At that time, our pharmacy business will definitely make a lot of money. Please rest assured about that!"

"Alright, then let's wish each other great fortune!" Deputy Director Gao clinked glasses with him, using tea instead of wine.

"Let's get rich together..."

P.S.: My new book is launching! I'm begging for your support with flowers, reviews, and monthly tickets!

Even a single flower, a review vote, or a monthly pass would be appreciated...

Chapter Nine: Aberdeen Appears (Second Update)

In the West District boxing gym, this gym is specifically for training junior members.

The boxing gym is fully equipped, with a dedicated punching bag, a ring, and a range of fitness equipment including treadmills, inverted bench press machines, bench press racks, and more.

On the ring, Ren Jiu stood beside Chen Guilin and A Huai, instructing them on how to practice their boxing.

Muay Thai is known for its ruthless attacks and undefeated record. It is one of the most systematic martial arts styles, and this helps them digest the knowledge of Muay Thai.

Chen Guilin and Bai Mao A Huai, wearing boxing gloves, continuously attacked the sandbag to improve the accuracy and speed of their movements, as well as their striking power and responsiveness.

"Bang bang bang."

A muffled thud was heard as the two men, sweating profusely, exchanged punches and kicks, delivering powerful blows with elbows and knees. Muay Thai is known for its savagery because of its sharp, wide-ranging, and powerful punches.

Under Ren Jiu's guidance, Chen Guilin and Ahuai performed quite well. After finishing hitting the sandbag, Ren Jiu had them continue training in Shadow Fist.

If you keep hitting heavy sandbags or kicking hard trees with gravity, it will inevitably affect your agility and speed.

The shadow boxing method is used to practice the continuity and fluidity of attacks. The so-called shadow boxing training method is to punch at a shadow.

Shadow boxing is a tactical style of boxing that combines offense and defense, advance and retreat, and footwork. It involves delivering single, continuous, or combination punches as if you were actually competing against an opponent.

Of course, Muay Thai fighters must use a series of powerful attacks, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, to completely defeat their opponents. This kind of fierce offensive, like a flood bursting its banks, can be trained through "shadow boxing" until all the movements are trained to the point of being "instinctive".

Ren Jiu observed that the two men's boxing techniques had already taken shape, and that they would be able to master Muay Thai once they became familiar with the training.

Chen Guilin and Bai Mao both knew some unorthodox martial arts techniques from the martial arts world. They could handle ordinary short mules, but against some masters, they would be far from being able to fight back.

While it's true that even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches, there's still a significant difference between someone who knows how to use a fist technique and someone who doesn't.

Unlike Ren Jiu, who still needs to hone his Muay Thai skills, Ren Jiu is now proficient in Muay Thai thanks to the system. So he teaches the two of them to box and corrects their mistakes along the way.

"Ah Huai, keep your breathing steady and don't stumble!"

"Guilin, your punching speed is too slow."

Under Ren Jiu's tutelage, the two not only trained in boxing techniques, but also in physical fitness and reaction speed. The reason Ren Jiu was willing to teach them Muay Thai was because Muay Thai is fierce and can easily result in death or serious injury.

Moreover, Muay Thai is very suitable for fighting in the martial arts world. After practicing Muay Thai, the effect of improving personal strength is quite obvious, which helps them enhance their strength.

Ren Jiu watched Chen Guilin and the other man train with great skill and nodded in satisfaction. He then jumped off the ring. He had just stretched his muscles and bones in the boxing gym and was covered in sweat.

However, after sweating it out, Ren Jiu felt refreshed and waved to his underlings.

Without Ren Jiu saying a word, one of the henchmen immediately understood what Ren Jiu meant and quickly brought over a bottle of water:

"Big guy!"

On the other side, a younger brother was quite perceptive, holding a towel and waiting next to Ren Jiu.

After taking the water, Ren Jiu gulped down a few mouthfuls, then wiped his sweat with a towel, and looked at the white-haired Ah Huai on the arena to check his loyalty level.

"92."

Ren Jiu whispered, quite satisfied with Bai Mao's loyalty level, which had now reached 92.

It's important to know that Ah Huai hasn't joined the Jianhe Association like in the movies yet. Although he acts a bit crazy and is much weaker than the Red Stick, he is loyal enough.

His loyalty increases rapidly depending on who treats him well.

Bai Mao A Huai has a good foundation. As long as he studies and practices diligently for a period of time, he probably won't be able to reach the level of an elite red stick, but reaching the level of an ordinary red stick should be no problem.

Chen Guilin's strength goes without saying; Muay Thai has greatly improved both of their abilities.

Ren Jiu also began to cultivate his own henchmen, the stronger they were, the better they would work for him.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind.

A henchman, looking flustered, quickly walked towards Ren Jiu.

Upon reaching Ren Jiu's side, he immediately called out:

"Boss, something's happened."

Ren Jiu frowned and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"

The underling quickly replied, "Boss, Brother Mouse got stabbed and is in the hospital."

Ren Jiu narrowed his eyes, his expression turning cold, and asked expressionlessly:

"Which hospital is Mouse Ming in now?"

"Boss, Brother Rat is at Taipei First Hospital now. Thankfully, he's survived."

Ren Jiu's voice was cold as he planned to visit Lao Shuming at the hospital first.

"Ah Huai, Gui Lin, something's happened to Rat Ming. Stop practicing your boxing and come with me to Taipei First Hospital."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guilin and Bai Mao on the ring immediately stopped what they were doing.

Chen Guilin's face was gloomy, tinged with anger:

"Boss, I understand."

Ren Jiu's top henchmen had a good relationship; Chen Guilin and Lao Shuming often chatted and drank together, they were like brothers.

The fact that Lao Shuming was stabbed and hospitalized made Chen Guilin's face darken, knowing that now was not the time to practice his boxing.

After Ren Jiu finished speaking, he instructed his younger brother:

"Go prepare the car."

The underling readily agreed: "Okay, boss."

Five minutes later, three vans pulled up in front of the boxing gym.

Ren Jiu, along with Chen Guilin and Ahuai, immediately went to Taipei First Hospital to visit Lao Shuming. At the same time, Ren Jiu had his underlings buy some fruit baskets and nutritional supplements along the way.

Upon arriving at Taipei First Hospital, Ren Jiu led Chen Guilin and Ahuai into the hospital. The hospital corridor was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

There were quite a few people in the hospital, and most of them were elderly people and children.

Ren Jiu had just learned Rat Ming's ward number from his underlings. He led his underlings to his ward, where Rat Ming's underlings were waiting. Upon seeing Ren Jiu, one of them called out:
