Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 804 - 803: Sincerity

Feeling the solemnity and coldness in Chu Ge's tone, Yin Liang shivered suddenly and immediately nodded."Big brother, the first time I saw you, I was snatching a woman's purse and was about to run, you casually threw a banana peel, and it landed right at my feet, causing me to fall and faint. The second time was when I was stealing a girl's phone on the bus, and you almost crushed my right hand. Do you still remember?"

Chu Ge was taken aback, then carefully scrutinized Yin Liang a few times before suddenly realizing, feeling a wave of sweat in his heart, and his forehead filled with black lines.

Isn't this that blond-haired boy, he's truly unlucky, having fallen into my hands multiple times, that's a kind of fate!

"Looks like... big brother, you remember now." Yin Liang let out a bitter smile and sighed again.

"I've realized, every time I meet you, nothing good happens to me. The first time I got a concussion, the second time almost a fractured bone, and now who knows if I'll see tomorrow's sun."

Even though the atmosphere was quite untimely, Chen Jue, Bao Zhanhai, and the other two men almost burst out laughing, this whole situation was truly bizarre.

"Is this why you insist on seeing if it was me?" Chu Ge's mouth twitched. Regardless of how he planned to handle this kid, he suddenly felt a bit sympathetic for Yin Liang, "You can stand up and speak."

Even though Chu Ge said so, Yin Liang did not move, still kneeling on the ground facing Chu Ge, "Big brother, I've thought it over. Since every time I meet you, I get unlucky, I might as well follow you around. I want to be your underling, is that okay?"

"I'm not some gangster, I'm just an ordinary citizen. Talking about following me is pointless." Chu Ge gave a faint smile and squinted his eyes a bit.

"Moreover... putting that aside, what makes you think you have the capital to say that to me? Why should I believe in your sincerity? How do I know that this isn't just a stalling tactic you've made up to stay alive? How do I know that if I let you leave here alive, it won't bring unnecessary trouble to me and my friends?"

Facing Chu Ge's aggressive gaze, Yin Liang immediately replied, "If I just wanted to leave here alive, I wouldn't have said your voice sounded familiar just now, nor would I have asked to see you guys. After all, doing so greatly increased my chances of survival."

"I... don't want to live like a dog anymore. I want to be respected! I want to truly have a place in this city! I want to stand tall in front of those bastards! My life has already been humble enough, why should I have to wag my tail and beg them when they show up? As for my sincerity..."

Yin Liang grew more and more agitated, frowning deeply and gritting his teeth, suddenly standing up without warning, and quickly reaching for the dagger stuck on Bao Zhanhai's back.

The distance between Yin Liang and Bao Zhanhai was too close, plus Bao Zhanhai was distracted watching the scene, by the time he reacted, the dagger was already in Yin Liang's hand.

"What are you doing!"

As Bao Zhanhai shouted angrily, Yin Liang had already "thudded" back down to his knees in front of Chu Ge, left hand on the ground, right hand raised high, and as a cold gleam flashed, he ruthlessly stabbed the dagger toward his left hand on the ground.

"This is my sincerity!"

Yin Liang shouted, finishing the motions of raising and stabbing without the slightest hesitation.

Watching this scene, Chen Jue smiled faintly, Bao Zhanhai's mouth twitched, and the other two men were dumbstruck, though their reactions differed, they all felt the same inside.

Nobody expected, that in their eyes, the worthless Yin Liang would go to such lengths against himself to prove his determination to Chu Ge.

"Clang!"

The sound of the dagger piercing flesh, which they expected, didn't occur. Just as the dagger was about to fall, Chu Ge kicked it away, and the dagger traced a silver arc in the dim light, dropping far away on the ground, emitting a few crisp sounds.

Yin Liang was stunned, staring blankly at Chu Ge, "B-big brother?"

Chu Ge shrugged, "You're already not very capable, if you lose a hand you'll be even less useful."

Yin Liang's pupils suddenly constricted, his face breaking into a joyful smile, "Big brother, does that mean... you agree to let me follow you?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, "I didn't say that."

Yin Liang's gaze dimmed immediately, just as he thought he was out of chances, Chu Ge spoke again, faintly.

"However, I'm still saying you need to prove your value, right? Instead of pledging loyalty to me here, why don't you first tell me, what can you do? In this world, many things can't be accomplished with determination alone."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, hope reignited in Yin Liang's eyes, and he quickly furrowed his brows, deep in thought, knowing Chu Ge was right, he had to prove his value and capability, or else, everything would be empty talk.

Bao Zhanhai stood with his arms crossed to the side, looking at Yin Liang with a bit of disdain. What skills could a small-time hustler at his level possibly have?

Chu Ge, however, did not feel the same. He had seen too many examples of small individuals rising to prominence. Wasn't he once a troubled youth who seemed to have no future?

In Chu Ge's eyes, everyone is unique and distinct in this world, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

However, many people may never discover their strengths in a lifetime, or lack the resolve, the effort, or for various reasons, end up as nobodies, blending in with the crowd.

Judging by Yin Liang's actions today, Chu Ge actually developed a slight interest in him. It's not everyone who, under such circumstances, dares to make such decisions.

Even though Yin Liang was scared to death earlier, he continued to persist, which is indeed commendable.

More than a minute passed before Yin Liang slowly lifted his head, met Chu Ge's gaze, and asked a question.

"Brother, you brought me here today, made me say so much, it's actually about tampering with that Ferrari during the chaos at the Xinxinniang parking lot, right?"

Bao Zhanhai was waiting to see a joke but was slightly taken aback hearing Yin Liang say this. Damn? This kid actually guessed it? He had clearly been asked about several things before, how did he guess so accurately?

Chu Ge gave a noncommittal smile, "Why do you say so?"

Yin Liang carefully observed Chu Ge's expression, trying to gauge if he was correct, but unfortunately, he couldn't see any change on Chu Ge's face.

He wanted to observe others but forcefully stopped himself because if he did, even if he discovered something, it would lower his score in Chu Ge's mind.

Although uncertain, since the topic had already started, Yin Liang had no choice but to bravely continue.

"When I mentioned other things just now, I kept hearing the sound of tapping feet and the rustling of clothes, but when I talked about this, those noises were gone, so that's why I think so."

Chu Ge grew even more interested in this Yin Liang. In such a tense and fearful situation, he could still notice such minute details, this attentiveness is indeed a skill.

Bao Zhanhai and the other two men's eyes twitched, and their faces reddened. The tapping was from Bao Zhanhai, while the other two men, with their arms crossed, were occasionally making small movements, which caused the rustling sound.

Even though Chu Ge still had a noncommittal expression, Yin Liang felt this was a good start. He wanted to seize this opportunity no matter what, so he took a deep breath to adjust his emotions and continued to speak.

"Since Byakugan asked us to tamper with that Ferrari, and you tracked me down, it shows that car is related to you. Byakugan and his group are targeting you. This means... this means..."

Yin Liang, saying this, felt like he had caught onto something crucial, yet he couldn't figure it out for the moment, prompting sweat to form on his forehead.

He didn't even know if what he initially said was correct. If his initial statement was right and gained him some impression points with Chu Ge, then the following analysis was absolutely nonsense. He didn't want to fail right at the end!

Drip, drip...

A few drops of sweat rolled down from Yin Liang's forehead to the ground. Just as he was burning with anxiety, his eyes suddenly lit up. He finally realized the value he could have for Chu Ge!

Of course, the premise was that his initial assumption was not wrong!

"This means I can be your eyes, Brother, to keep an eye on Byakugan and his group. If they make any moves, I can inform you immediately. This... this is what I can do!"

Facing Yin Liang's eyes filled with excited nervousness and anticipation, Chu Ge slightly curled his mouth, "What you say makes some sense, it seems like it could be something worth considering."

Yin Liang swallowed hard because of his inner tension, his hands involuntarily clenching into fists, "B-brother, you mean..."

Chu Ge patted Yin Liang's shoulder, "Even if everything you said is correct and your assumption is reasonable, there's one thing you've overlooked, and I must say it's very important."

Yin Liang's expression stiffened, and immediately with a tightly knitted brow, he pursued, "Wh-what?"

Chu Ge shook his head with a faint smile, "Are you really so important to Byakugan? In their eyes, are you someone on equal footing with them? Whenever they have any affairs, will they let you know? Heh..."
