3: Brother, the hat on your head is huge and green.

Zhang Hao arrived at their usual spot and immediately saw Jiang Chuan sitting in front of a bustling, successful late-night food stall. He was savoring delicious barbecue, gulping down ice-cold beer, and his face was brimming with immense pleasure.

"Hey, my silly son is here! Come over and sit down quickly. I already ordered your favorite big lamb kidneys!"

Jiang Chuan greeted Zhang Hao with a wide smile. His sturdy build and tall stature naturally drew people's attention.

"Old Jiang, at a time like this, how can you still be in the mood to eat? You were fired by that bald guy. What are you going to do about next month's rent?"

Zhang Hao walked to the table and slowly sat down, his heart filled with worry.

Zhang Hao knew well that Jiang Chuan had deliberately chosen to rent an apartment in the Teng Kong neighborhood for the convenience of work, but the rent there was not cheap.

"You really need to think carefully about your life going forward!"

He said earnestly to Jiang Chuan.

Facing his friend's concern, Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm not short on cash right now. I don't need to stress about the rent."

"Not short on cash?"

Zhang Hao widened his eyes, looking at Jiang Chuan suspiciously. He knew clearly that Jiang Chuan was an orphan, raised by a homeless man since childhood, and had no family background or connections whatsoever. He asked aloud, "Did you win the lottery?"

"My family found me. They have passed away now, but they left me a generous inheritance. So, I'm not short of money to spend."

Jiang Chuan shook his head and did not tell him about getting the system. After all, he understood the principle that an innocent man is guilty only for possessing a treasure. He lied to Zhang Hao.

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was instantly dumbfounded, staring at Jiang Chuan with a look of disbelief.

"What 'ah'? You should quit your job tomorrow too."

Jiang Chuan's lips curled into a slight smile as he spoke. "Didn't you always want to own your own gaming club? Daddy will open one for you." Jiang Chuan couldn't help but chuckle softly, looking at Zhang Hao's utterly shocked expression. He knew what this meant to Zhang Hao, so he decided to help him realize this dream.

"Old Jiang, just how much have you drunk? Why are you suddenly talking nonsense?"

Zhang Hao didn't quite believe what Jiang Chuan said; after all, it was too incredible. Thus, he looked at Jiang Chuan skeptically and asked.

Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly, then shook his head, indicating that he was not drunk. But Zhang Hao remained doubtful, thinking Jiang Chuan might just be joking.

Jiang Chuan knew that Zhang Hao wouldn't easily believe his words, so he gave a wry smile, pulled his phone from his pocket, opened a different mobile banking interface, and handed the phone to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao took the phone suspiciously, and when he saw the balance displayed on the screen, he couldn't help but swallow, his eyes widening in astonishment.

"You... you really have an inheritance? Are you a rich second-generation heir?"

He simply couldn't believe his eyes. The countless zeros plunged him into extreme shock. He stammered as he looked at Jiang Chuan and asked. Faced with such a massive impact, Zhang Hao's heart was filled with questions and confusion.

"I only found out yesterday. Do you believe me now?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Zhang Hao's shocked expression with a smile.

"I believe you."

"Daddy, I'll be relying on you to keep me from now on."

Zhang Hao looked at the balance on the phone and completely believed him. To possess such wealth and not be arrested proved that Jiang Chuan had genuinely inherited a fortune. Zhang Hao walked over to Jiang Chuan without hesitation, decisively knelt down, and begged to be supported.

"These Young Men are really wild!"

"Holy cow! That Young Man's dad is way too young."

... Zhang Hao's outrageous move instantly drew widespread discussion from the surrounding people.

"Big brother, get up quickly. Aren't you embarrassed?"

Jiang Chuan also noticed the strange looks and sounds around them, and he whispered to Zhang Hao while covering his face.

"Okay."

Zhang Hao scratched his head awkwardly, seemingly realizing the strange gazes of the people around them. His rugged face instantly turned scarlet, like a ripe apple. However, soon, as the alcohol went down, the atmosphere between the two was no longer awkward, but instead filled with boldness and camaraderie.

"Why did you call me here?"

Just as Zhang Hao and Jiang Chuan were drinking merrily, an impatient voice suddenly reached their ears. Zhang Hao looked over and saw a tall, attractive girl standing before them. She was Zhang Hao's girlfriend

Tang Xue.

"Xiao Xue, you're finally here. Come sit down over here. I specially ordered your favorite barbecue."

Zhang Hao's face was already completely flushed, but upon seeing Tang Xue arrive, he immediately displayed an eager smile.

Jiang Chuan, however, dismissed Zhang Hao's behavior. He secretly scoffed in his heart: "Simp."

"I don't like eating barbecue now, don't you know that? Also, don't call me out in situations like this again."

Tang Xue glanced at the barbecue on the table, a look of contempt flashing in her eyes. She was especially dismissive when she saw Jiang Chuan sitting there.

She knew that Jiang Chuan was an orphan who would never have a future in his life. She found people like him unlucky to even look at.

Jiang Chuan naturally noticed Tang Xue's contemptuous gaze, but he didn't care. He knew perfectly well that Tang Xue had always looked down on him for being an orphan. If she weren't his good son's girlfriend, he would definitely not be staying here with her.

"Xue'er, why are you here? Also, who are these two men?"

As this voice sounded, before Zhang Hao could even explain, he saw a man dressed in expensive brand-name clothing, looking arrogant and unrestrained, walking toward them. He scrutinized Jiang Chuan and Zhang Hao with provocative eyes, then questioned Tang Xue.

"Brother Yong, they are both my distant cousins, and they came specifically to see me this time."

After hearing Yang Yong's voice, Tang Xue immediately showed a shy smile. She quickly walked to Yang Yong's side, delicately hooked his arm, her soft body pressing against his arm, and explained in a gentle whisper.

"Xue'er, what did you say?"

"And who is this man? What is your relationship with him?"

Hearing Tang Xue's words, Zhang Hao's eyes widened. He stood up, angrily looking at Yang Yong beside Tang Xue, and questioned her loudly.

"You must be that boyfriend who keeps pestering Xue'er, right?"

"Since I met you today, let me warn you: don't come and bother my girlfriend again, or I'll make sure you regret it."

When Yang Yong heard Zhang Hao's address for Tang Xue, he instantly knew his identity. He immediately embraced Tang Xue to declare his ownership, staring coldly at Zhang Hao as he spoke those words.

"What did you say? Tang Xue, you cheated on me!"

Hearing Yang Yong's words, Zhang Hao's eyes widened, and he roared furiously at Tang Xue. His voice was filled with disbelief and rage, as if his entire world had collapsed at that moment. He couldn't accept this fact. He had been so good to Tang Xue, giving all his work money for her to spend, only to find that the woman before him had betrayed him.

"Do you even deserve for me to cheat on you? You're just my simp, that's all. Look at yourself, dressed head-to-toe in cheap market clothes. Can you compare to Brother Yong?"

Hearing Zhang Hao roar at her, Tang Xue's eyes were flippant, and a sneer curled on her lips.

Her words were like a sharp blade, deeply piercing Zhang Hao's heart. He felt his dignity utterly trampled, and Tang Xue's disdain made his anger burn fiercely.

Zhang Hao tightly clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly. He forcefully suppressed the pain and anger in his heart, but the fury in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Good son, are you going to fight? If anything happens, Daddy will take responsibility!"

A smile played on Jiang Chuan's lips. In fact, he hadn't expected Tang Xue to actually cheat on Zhang Hao. He knew that Zhang Hao had been very good to Tang Xue, handing over his monthly salary, only to end up supporting such a vain woman.

"I'm going to beat you two dogs of a couple to death today."

Zhang Hao heard Jiang Chuan's words and thought of the tempting string of numbers on Jiang Chuan's phone, realizing that Jiang Chuan's status was different now

enough to settle everything. He angrily picked up the chair beside him and hurled it directly at Yang Yong.

Seeing Zhang Hao make a move, Jiang Chuan didn't hesitate to help. Although there were more than a dozen people on the other side, Jiang Chuan was completely fearless. He moved nimbly through the crowd, every strike accurate and vicious.

Zhang Hao, meanwhile, was like a furious lion, constantly swinging the chair in his hands, beating Yang Yong and the others until they couldn't fight back. The two worked together seamlessly, and within a few minutes, Yang Yong and his group were already lying on the ground.

Waa! Waa! Waa!

Before long, sirens wailed, and several police cars stopped outside the restaurant. The police quickly got out and took everyone into the patrol cars.

"You two damn bastards, I'll make sure you regret this!"

Yang Yong's head was now covered in blood, and he looked miserable. Before getting into the car, he angrily threatened Jiang Chuan and Zhang Hao.
