"What do you think of the Crocodile Gang now?" Ling Yi suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"I dare not say!" Ren Jia glanced cautiously at Ling Yi and said in a low voice.
"Explain!"
Beset by internal and external troubles, a disorganized mess.
Seeing that Ling Yi had no reaction, Ren Jia gritted his teeth and continued, " The Crocodile Gang seems powerful, Shrouding the Heavens the Dongyue Bund, but in reality, it's poorly managed, and its members are a mixed bag. Besides bullying people, they're all useless."
"These managers are extremely corrupt in private, each supporting their own group of subordinates. Although Brother Yi has Intimidation them this time, it will also leave behind huge hidden dangers."
"Yes!" Ling Yi nodded.
Seeing that Ling Yi agreed with her words, Ren Jia completely let go.
"Although the Axe Gang only has two thousand members, they are very powerful Combat, each one Madman who doesn't care about his life. Even if they attack us now, given the Crocodile Gang's current state, I'm afraid they simply can't withstand it."
" The Crocodile Gang claims to have hundreds of thousands of Xiao Di, but most of them joined Crocodile Gang to make a living. They only fight when things are going well; once the Reversal, they fall apart."
Ling Yi nodded approvingly and said, "You're smart and ambitious. I know you've been making some underhanded moves, but in this chaotic world, it's understandable to try to protect yourself."
" Brother Yi, I..." Ren Jia became nervous.
"If the Crocodile Gang handed over to you for management, what would you do?"
" Brother Yi!"
"From now on, you are the vice leader of the Crocodile Gang, but whether you can hold onto this position depends on your own abilities."
Ren Jia found it hard to believe. She was ambitious, but her ambition was not to control the Axe Gang, nor did she want to be high and mighty. She just wanted to survive in this chaotic world, to live freely and with dignity.
It sounds simple, but for a woman, it's incredibly difficult.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yi gave her a tremendous opportunity today.
She had no feelings for Ling Yi; her dependence on Ling Yi was solely for Ling Yi power.
In her memory, Ling Yi had always been a domineering, cruel, and brainless Reckless Man.
But today she realized that Ling Yi was not what she had seen.
"Tell me, what are you planning to do?" Ling Yi asked again.
"By gathering our core subordinates and secretly building up our strength, the Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang are no longer necessary. Dongyue Bund needs a new force with stronger cohesion and a unified voice."
" The Crocodile Gang has a terrible reputation. Not only the Axe Gang, but the people in the concession probably don't want the Crocodile Gang to continue existing either."
Ling Yi couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration; this woman's intelligence Big Superman his expectations.
"Very good. The Crocodile Gang will move all the funds they can. Do as you wish."
" Brother Yi, aren't you worried?" Ren Jia cautiously asked the question that was on his mind.
"What are you worried about? Are you worried about me betraying you? It doesn't matter. I won't be in this world for much longer anyway. Everything will be yours from now on."
Ren Jia was shocked. Her first thought was that Ling Yi had a terminal illness and was about to die?
After all, given her worldview, it's impossible for her to think about Parallel World or time travelers.
" Brother Yi, Ren Jia promises he will never betray Brother Yi."
Ling Yi smoothed her hair and smiled, "Go ahead and get busy!"
This was the first time Ren Jia had seen Ling Yi smile, and the first time she had felt Ling Yi's gentleness.
" Brother Yi!" Ren Jia smiled gently and threw herself into Ling Yi's arms...
In the afternoon, Ling Yi announced that Ren Jia as the deputy leader of the gang. This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people, but Ling Yi didn't care. The Crocodile Gang was still his personal fiefdom, and no one dared to oppose him.
After that, he and Ren Jia moved out of the Night Sea Opera House, and no one except Ren Jia knew where they moved to.
Where did Ling Yi go? He went to Pig Sty Alley.
At this moment, Ling Yi had changed into ordinary clothes, was wearing sunglasses, had a pipe in his mouth, and was carrying a suitcase.
Ren Jia also changed her outfit, and she looked much more innocent and pure.
" Brother Yi, why did we come here? This place is too run-down."
"Sometimes, don't just look at the surface; this place is more complex than it seems," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Alright, you can go back now. I'll come back every few days to Lulu, so you won't be unable to keep those old guys in Intimidation."
"Take care, Brother Yi. I won't let you down."
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded, then stepped into Pig Sty Alley.
Ren Jia also turned and left, getting into a car far away from Pig Sty Alley.
"Drive to the river bridge," Ren Jia ordered coldly.
"Yes, Chief Ren!" The subordinate started the car and drove towards Jiangqiao.
When they reached the middle of the bridge, Ren Jia ordered his men to stop the car. Then, expressionless, he pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation, killing the people inside.
He then threw the bodies of these men into the river before driving back to the Crocodile Gang's headquarters.
Ren Jia's ruthlessness is evident from this; Ling Yi's affairs at Pig Sty Alley must not be known to a third person...
Because of Ling Yi's previous reminder, the Crocodile Gang's higher-ups began to take notice of the Axe Gang.
After understanding the current situation of the Axe Gang, these high-ranking managers finally understood why the gang leader was angry.
Although Ren Jia's appointment as vice leader displeased them, no one dared to object at this moment.
The most important thing now is to deal with the Axe Gang, this emerging threat.
Compared to the original storyline, the Axe Gang's rise to power will inevitably be fraught with difficulties, and the two gangs will constantly weaken each other through clashes.
Dongyue Bund was plunged into chaos from that point on...
In Pig Sty Alley, at the home of the landlady and her husband, Ling Yi placed several foreign banknotes on the table.
"You're Taiyi from those peasants outside," the landlord said, looking Ling Yi up and down.
"What kind of business do you run?" the landlady asked.
"The truly wise Yinyin in the city, the lesser Yinyin in a well; this is a good place to escape the world and live in seclusion," Ling Yi said ambiguously.
The landlady grabbed the banknotes from the table and said, "Here's the Key to the easternmost room downstairs."
The landlady clenched her fist and threatened, "Don't break the rules here, don't cause trouble for Pig Sty Alley, or I'll beat you to death."
"Okay!" Ling Yi grabbed the Key, Ignore the landlady's fist, and turned to walk out.
After Ling Yi closed the door, the couple exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat grave.
"He seems to know who we are," the landlady said worriedly.
"He's just an ordinary person, it doesn't matter. Everyone has their own story. Aren't Donut, Coolie, and that Old Rabbit the same?" The landlord shook his head and said indifferently.
Ling Yi found his room, opened the door, and went inside.
The room was very basic, with only a bed board, a table, and a broken leg propped up with bricks.
There was nothing else besides that.
Ling Yi didn't care. He wasn't here to enjoy himself; he just wanted a quiet place to train and get stronger.
The Infinite Passive Body Refinement Aura is a newly activated aura for Ling Yi. It makes him stronger as long as he trains, but Ling Yi hasn't tried its effects yet.
In the evening, I ate something at Donut's place, and after I came back, I started... doing push-ups.
The attribute list automatically generated by the aura this time is extremely complex, including a total of thirty-six parameters such as arm strength, finger strength, wrist strength, defense, constitution, and spirit.
Ling Yi found it troublesome to read, so he simply decided to train one thing at a time.
The training was surprisingly effective; after just one night of training, Ling Yi's various parameters improved dramatically, surpassing the Limit of ordinary people.
This Infinite Passive Body Refinement Aura, if one had to describe it, is somewhat like a blank stare that has broken its limiter.
The next morning, Ling Yi went to the Donut vendor's place for breakfast again, and then, to everyone's astonishment, began practicing his boxing.
It wasn't martial arts or boxing techniques; it was just a simple punch.
Ling Yi threw every punch with great force, and he did so for the entire morning.
After lunch, Ling Yi started kicking his legs in the afternoon, without any technique, just simple kicking.
The feeling of increased power completely captivated Ling Yi for a moment.
This has been the case for several days in a row.
At first, everyone was just curious, but they gradually got used to it.
However, the landlord, landlady, Donut stick, Old Rabbit, and Coolie Qiang had completely different feelings.
They could sense that Ling Yi was getting stronger every day.
The speed at which they became stronger was incredible to them.
"Could this kid be the Legend genius, one in a million?" The landlord and landlady were peering out the second-floor window, watching Ling Yi doing pull-ups while gripping a tree branch, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"Old man, you're not thinking of taking him on as an apprentice, are you? I advise you to save your breath. This kid is no simple character!" the landlady advised.
"It's not that I'm interested, but rather that Donut and the others are interested. Martial arts inheritance is extremely difficult, and it's not easy to find a good prospect."
"Let's see."
Ling Yi did a thousand pull-ups in a row, and by now his whole body was steaming – the effect of the sweat evaporating rapidly from his skin.
The Old Rabbit watching this scene was amazed.
"Kid, you're training the wrong way. Not only is it a waste of time and energy, it will also ruin your muscles. You'll only end up with a big, bulky build, which won't help you much in Combat."
Ling Yi laughed and said, "I was just practicing for fun."
He didn't explain much; he couldn't very well say he looked down on Hung Family Iron Wire Fist, could he?
If we're really talking about Kung Fu Hustle, Ling Yi has traveled through so many worlds, what kind of Kung Fu Hustle hasn't he mastered? He could talk about theoretical knowledge for a whole year.
But now, Ling Yi prefers to learn from Saitama and follow an invincible path of ruthlessness.
He didn't go to Sing, nor did he go to the old beggar.
Because it's not necessary!
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room, which was now filled with a large amount of food, especially meat.
Because of the Gao Qiang training, Ling Yi has extremely high requirements for both the quantity and quality of ingredients.
He even hired Coolie to help him buy ingredients and had Donut cook for him every day.
Today's lunch is fried beef. Ling Yi had just entered his room when Sheng, the Donut stick vendor, came in with the landlord, carrying a large iron basin.
"Today's steak is medium-rare," Sheng said with a humble smile.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Ling Yi nodded and handed him a few bills.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, please continue with your work!" Sheng took the money, bowed, and left.
It's hard to imagine that such a humble person could be a Kung Fu Hustle master.
Ling Yi looked at the landlord and laughed, "If you're coming to freeload, at least bring a bottle of wine."
The landlord chuckled and pulled a clay-sealed wine jar from his pocket...
