Volume 2 High School - The Years of White Clothes Chapter 10
Time passed minute by minute, the room was silent, and everyone suppressed their excitement in their hearts, looking at Ai Zi Qing with a face full of worship. This courage, this grandeur, was beyond them! Chang Yu finally understood why Zhou Yuan, the leader of this group, would willingly be included under the pen of a 16 or 17-year-old girl. Even the calm and composed demeanor at the gambling table was beyond him! Looking at Ai Zi Qing who smiled from start to finish, Chang Yu's gaze froze.
Finally, Shi Ke's tightly pursed lips opened, his voice a little hoarse as he said "I keep my promises! Once I've agreed, I won't change!" As soon as these words fell, the hearts of all the people in Jing Society also thoroughly fell.
Qiao Sen opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't speak, and nodded lightly in agreement with this decision. Looking at their ashen faces, Ai Zi Qing smiled and said softly, "As long as you join the Gang Society, we're all one family from now on, no distinction between you and me, sharing fortune and hardship together! No one is allowed to be a lone wolf! I'll only say this once."
The last sentence was somewhat amusing, although it was said in a low tone, the meaning was very clear, warning Zhou Yuan and others not to bully newcomers... Everyone stifled their laughter.
Shi Ke smiled excitedly, his heart settled, as long as he and his brothers could join the Gang Society on an equal footing after joining, he would be at peace. Since he had lost the bet, he should admit defeat graciously, after all, the conditions were fair, and it was only his own bad luck to blame.
Turning to look at Xu Jie, who was standing still on one side, Shi Lei's anger had already dissipated. After all, she was just a woman, and it was normal for her to be frightened. It wasn't a deliberate betrayal of him, and there was nothing unforgivable about it.
At this time, a "hmm" sound came from the house, Shi Ke looked at Ai Zi Qing in confusion, wondering if there was still someone who hadn't come out. Zi Qing slightly furrowed her brow, unsure of what to do next. Qiao Sen stood up and walked into the house, pulling out Xu Liang, who had his hands and feet tied up, a hood over his head, and disheveled clothes. Before anyone could ask any questions, Xu Jie let out a shocked cry. Looking at Xu Jie's flustered appearance, then looking at Xu Liang, who was clearly not a member of the Jing Society, Shi Ke suddenly understood. The anger he had been suppressing surged up! The humiliation of being betrayed, combined with the anger that had been building up all day, caused him to quickly grab a gun from an unsuspecting Jing Society member and point it at Xu Jie's head, ready to fire!
Bang
The room fell silent, the guards gathered around, pulling Ai Zi Qing behind them, until the second "bang"! Xu Liang was also shot in the head. Ai Zi Qing waved his hand to let Zhou Yuan and others put down their guns, walked out of the encirclement without any guard, Shi Lei put down his gun, seriously looked at Ai Zi Qing and said "Aren't you afraid I'll turn against you?"
Ai Zi Qing nodded lightly "I'm afraid, but as future partners who will rely on each other, I want to offer trust first, I hope you can trust me."
I hope I can trust you...
Shi Ke was stunned, Qiao Sen was also stunned, and then they both burst out laughing along with the crowd, this being the only genuine smile from everyone today.
Ai Zi Qing glanced at the two corpses on the side, her face slightly flushed with an abnormal red glow, her stomach churning, suppressing the feeling of discomfort, pointing to the corpse on the ground and asked "What about them?"
"Hand it over." Josen nodded lightly.
Seeing that Shi Lei was in a bad mood because of Xu Jie's matter, Ai Zi Qing didn't say much and stood up to walk out the door. "The integration matters can be discussed with Big Brother Zhou, my existence is temporarily not to be made public, after thorough integration, the leaders of both parties will have a meeting together, it must be someone who has no objections to the integration of the gangs and is completely trustworthy." Seeing Shi Lei nodding, she stood up to see them off, and Ai Zi Qing led the crowd out the door.
On the road, Chang Yu and Hei Zi asked Zhou Yuan with some curiosity, "Brother Yuan, when the president wants to gamble, do you remember what she said when we first met?"
"She said: You can only believe me!"
Everyone was stunned, some nodded as if in a trance, and sighed softly: Yes, believe her.
One week later, both the black and white factions of Yang City received a shocking piece of news! The Axe Gang had merged with the Qing Bang, completely integrating into the Qing Bang! From then on, there was no longer an Axe Gang, only the Qing Bang! Within a month, the words "Qing Bang" once again echoed in the ears of high-ranking figures in various social circles. Its momentum was so fierce that it couldn't help but attract their attention.
The headquarters building of Qitian Security Company, on the 12th floor, in a spacious and bright conference room, with floor-to-ceiling windows covering an entire wall, making the whole conference room look clean and bright.
Zhou Yuan, Wang Wu, Hei Zi, Chang Yu, Shi Ke, Qiao Sen, Lei Jun, Lu Song sat on both sides of the conference table. The door opened and Ai Ziqing walked in, directly to the main seat reserved for her in the middle.
"I believe the purpose of everyone gathering here today is already very clear, and I don't have anything to say. I just want to declare that from now on, there will be no more divisions between the Black Tiger Gang, Axe Gang, and other factions. There will only be the Qing Bang and us sharing honor and shame together. Since we are sitting here together, everyone is one family, brothers! I hope everyone can forget past grievances."
After finishing the scan of the crowd, he saw that everyone was expressionless and didn't seem surprised. It seemed that Shi Lei had already explained things clearly, so he continued: "The CEO of Qiang Tian Security Company is Zhou Yuan, with Shi Lei in charge of different departments. The vice presidents are Wang Wu, Lao Hei, Chang Yu, Qiao Sen, Lei Jun, and Lu Song, each in charge of specific tasks. The original two groups will be disbanded and undergo systematic training to achieve 100% integration. I'm sure you all understand the nature of our security company - we rent out bodyguards, provide security services, and take on various tasks. After all, a large black society would attract national attention, so we need this protective umbrella to shield us from outside scrutiny. Moreover, a purely black society may not necessarily bring everyone better prospects and development. Washing black to white is inevitable, so why not choose the most suitable profession for us? Most of our brothers are retired soldiers, and a security company is undoubtedly the most suitable choice! However, we are a collective, a community, and our Qiang Society is too loose, needing more systematic organization. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Shi Ke sank into thought for a moment, then spoke up first, "Since we are a club, an organization, then we need to divide it into different departments, assign leaders, and make it convenient for the top to give orders!"
Lei Jun is a somewhat tall and robust young man, not yet thirty years old, with dark skin. He has an extremely bold personality, but also has a delicate side. He continued, "Can we first divide it into several departments, using the leader's name as a code name?"
Ai Zi Qing nodded and decided, "Alright, let's decide on this. Vice President Zhou Yuan and Shi Lei of Jing Society will be in charge. Chang Yu will lead the 'Yu' team, Lei Jun will lead the 'Lei' team, Lu Song will lead the 'Song' team, Qiao Sen will be responsible for the 'Sen' team, and Wang Wu will lead the 'Wu' team. Hei Zi will oversee training matters and train an assassination squad."
Everyone nodded in agreement, after all, it was just integrated and there wasn't a very specific plan yet, so this simple and clear approach was the best.
