Chapter 151 Subduing the Underlings, Two Beauties Fall in Love

Lin Chen stopped in front of him, looking at him with a calm gaze.

He didn't speak, but that sense of pressure...

...made Lu Zhuang panic instantly, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

His movements were extremely decisive, his face filled with submission.

"Big Brother! I'm convinced!"

"I'm truly convinced!"

"I, Lu Zhuang, have been on the streets for over a decade, and I've never seen someone as formidable as you."

"Just now, I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness."

"I have offended you. You are a great man with a generous heart,"

"Please don't lower yourself to my level!"

Seeing their boss kneel, the remaining thugs around them...

...all followed suit and lowered their heads. No one dared to make a sound.

Lin Chen frowned slightly and reached out to help him up.

"Get up. I don't like all this kneeling."

"Zhao Qian gave you money to do a job. I don't blame you."

"Just don't use your numbers to bully people anymore."

Lu Zhuang was helped up.

He kept his back bowed low, his face full of devotion.

Staring at Lin Chen, his tone was incredibly sincere.

"Big Brother, I truly admire you!"

"With your skills and bearing, I, Lu Zhuang, will recognize you as my Big Brother for the rest of my life!"

"If you don't mind, I'll bring all the brothers of 13K..."

"...to follow you from now on. If you tell us to go east, we won't go west. We'll have no second thoughts!"

"Please, take me in!"

He was truly beaten into submission.

He was also truly in awe of Lin Chen's strength.

In the world of thugs, the strong have always been respected.

An expert like Lin Chen was worth following with utter loyalty.

Lin Chen looked at his sincere face.

It didn't seem fake. Thinking about the Central area...

...having a local gang to look after things would save a lot of trouble in the future.

After pondering for a few seconds, he nodded.

"There's no need for 'Big Brother.' We'll be brothers from now on."

"Manage your own brothers well. Don't cause trouble in Central."

"Do some honest business."

"If I can protect you, I naturally won't treat you poorly."

Hearing this, Lu Zhuang was so excited he almost jumped.

He grabbed Lin Chen's hand, his voice choking up.

"Brother! Good brother!"

"From now on, you are my, Lu Zhuang's, own elder brother!"

"No,"

"the brother I respect most in my life!"

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for not casting me aside. I will definitely manage the brothers well and never cause you trouble!"

The surrounding thugs also started calling out "Brother Lin."

Their voices were full of awe, without a hint of hostility left.

Chu Feifei and Shen Nian walked over quickly.

Standing by Lin Chen's side, their eyes were full of admiration and pride.

Their cheeks were flushed, their hearts completely won over.

In the fight just now, Lin Chen's power and handsomeness...

...had been thoroughly etched into their hearts.

This fluttering of the heart could no longer be hidden.

The messy alley entrance still smelled faintly of dust.

Broken glass from the brawl and overturned trash cans were scattered around.

The beaten thugs clutched their arms and stomachs.

They stood to the side, grimacing, not even daring to breathe loudly.

That fight had completely broken their spirits.

This lean-looking Lin Chen before them struck fast and hard.

Yet, after the fight, he carried no malice at all.

His eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

This was actually more terrifying than someone who looked fierce and cruel.

Lin Chen raised his hand and patted Lu Zhuang's shoulder lightly.

The force was just right, carrying a certain unquestionable certainty.

His tone was flat, without a hint of condescending scolding.

Instead, it was like ordering a most ordinary task:

"Clean this place up and tell the brothers to disperse. Don't block the way and attract attention."

Lu Zhuang's back instantly bent further.

His face still held some lingering panic.

He nodded hurriedly in response.

He didn't even dare to glance at Lin Chen's face too much.

Just a moment ago, he had brought people to cause trouble, and in the blink of an eye, he had been beaten into submission.

Now, he only hoped Lin Chen wouldn't hold a grudge.

He would be grateful to heaven and earth if Lin Chen let them off.

Lin Chen didn't waste words. He took out his phone and opened the QR code,

holding it out to Lu Zhuang.

"This is my number. Let's add each other."

Lu Zhuang's hands were shaking slightly.

He quickly pulled out his old phone,

scanning the code in a panic.

He even specifically changed the contact name to "Brother Lin," acting with utmost respect.

"If anything happens around here in the future, contact me directly."

"Don't resort to fighting and killing at the drop of a hat."

Lin Chen put his phone away, his tone still indifferent.

But to Lu Zhuang's ears, these words sounded like a blessing.

Before Lu Zhuang could reply...

...Lin Chen turned and unzipped his small backpack,

casually pulling out a neatly tied stack of cash.

It was a thick stack, clearly more than twenty thousand.

He stuffed it directly into Lu Zhuang's arms and said concisely:

"Here is thirty thousand yuan. Take it."

"First, buy some Liniment and Safflower Oil for the brothers."

"Apply the medicine where needed. With the remaining money, take everyone to a restaurant for a good meal. It's on me."

Lu Zhuang was completely stunned.

Holding the money in his arms, his whole body froze.

He didn't react for a long time.

He had originally thought that after the beating, Lin Chen would either scold them or demand compensation.

He never expected that not only would Lin Chen not hold them accountable, but he would even give them money for medical treatment and a meal.

He had never seen such breadth of mind and bearing in all his years on the streets.

The last bit of defiance in his heart vanished completely, replaced by pure awe.

The group of lackeys standing around were even more dumbfounded.

They looked at each other. The grievances they felt from the beating...

...now turned entirely into admiration.

This man was strong, had class, and was generous and considerate.

He was a hundred times better than those bosses who only knew how to exploit their lackeys.

From the bottom of their hearts, they accepted him as their Big Brother.

Someone was the first to shout "Brother Lin."

Then everyone followed suit, shouting at the top of their lungs, their voices loud and synchronized.

It was a sincere show of submission:

"Brother Lin! We're convinced!"

"From now on, we'll listen to everything Brother Lin says!"

The shouts were so loud they echoed at the alley entrance.

Lin Chen just curled his lips into a faint smile.

He nodded slightly without saying much.

This calm composure actually made him seem even more unfathomable.

He didn't look at the group again. He turned and signaled with his hand,

gesturing for the two girls to follow him.

He started walking toward the hotel not far away.

Chu Feifei followed closely by his side.

Her eyes were sparkling as she stared intently at Lin Chen's profile.

Her eyes were filled with unconcealable admiration, and her smile was wide.

She looked like a little fangirl, her steps feeling light as air.

She held it in for a while, but finally couldn't help leaning in.

Her voice was sweet and excited, full of infatuation.

"Lin Chen, you were just too cool back there!"

"One person against fifty, and you did it effortlessly."

"You didn't even get hit once."

"Seriously, you were awesome!"

She shook Lin Chen's arm.

Her tone was exceptionally serious.

Even the playful and frivolous thoughts she had before were cast to the winds.

"I used to think I was just playing around with you,"

"but seeing you today, I finally know what a 'god-tier man' is!"

"You are the man of my dreams for the rest of my life!"

"Not only are you good-looking, but you're also so powerful."

"Those moves during the fight were so clean and sharp. My heart almost stopped watching them. You're so cool!"
