On the sofa in the hall, six unfamiliar middle-aged faces were smiling at Qiao Liansheng, who had just walked in. Qiao Liansheng felt a surge of excitement in her heart as she faced this group of people who had followed Qiao Xianjing to the top of the world. She slowly walked up to the six of them, bent down, lowered her head, and bowed respectfully.
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent. Xu Changpeng sat on the sofa with his head slightly lowered. His eyes were red. Madman Zhang closed his eyes. His honest face was very sad. The six unfamiliar middle-aged men had different expressions, but they all had a touch of sadness.
"Lian Sheng, sit! Let me introduce you." Xu Changpeng waved his hand, indicating for Qiao Liansheng to sit at the side.
Qiao Lian Sheng nodded and sat down at the side. Xu Shiyin, who was standing at the side, naturally held his arm and sat beside him. Her cute and charming face revealed a faint smile, as if she was on the Qiao family's side.
"This married granddaughter is like water that has been poured out! They hadn't even come to a conclusion yet, and they were already following him.”Seeing Xu Shiyin's actions, Xu Changpeng could not help but smile and shake his head.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Xu Shiyin blushed and pouted, but she still held onto Qiao Liansheng's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. This action made the group of old masters laugh, but Qiao Lian Sheng was a little embarrassed.
"Xu Bagui, your plan is not ordinary!”A short middle-aged man in a black suit said with a smile, his eyes looking at Xu Changpeng with a deep meaning.
Xu Changpeng smiled noncommittally and glanced at the six people sitting on the sofa. He slowly said,"It's been more than twenty years, and we're gathered together again. This is Gui Qiao's son, Qiao Liansheng. You should know why I called you back, right?”
The six of them nodded silently, but they didn't seem to be too enthusiastic. They seemed rather indifferent. Only one of them, whose hair was so long that it covered half of his face, raised his head slightly and glanced at Qiao Liansheng with a very cold expression.
"Hehe, what? His spirit had been worn out for more than twenty years?”Xu Changpeng's lips curled up slightly as he sneered. His eyes scanned the faces of the six people.
The hall fell into dead silence. After a long time, a bald man in the middle of the six frowned and said with a troubled expression,"Bagui, it's been more than twenty years. We each have our own families and careers. I'm afraid we don't have the energy to work hard anymore.”
"What do you mean? You don't want to move anymore?" Lunatic Zhang tilted his head and sneered at the bald man.
"Mad Monk, then you should know that twenty years ago, we worked hard to get ahead in order to have a stable life! It's been more than twenty years, and we've all stabilized. We have connections, right? They were already old bones. What was there to fight about?”The bald man waved his hand with a bitter expression.
" Bang!" The man sitting in the corner with an indifferent expression suddenly smashed the cup in his hand on the coffee table. The cup was intact, but two seconds later, the cup shattered and turned into a pile of dust.
" Gui Jun, what do you mean?!" On the other side, a middle-aged man with a crew cut and narrow eyes tilted his head and glared coldly at the cold-looking man.
The man called Gui Jun turned his head, and the eye under his hair swept over indifferently. It was bone-chilling, and no one dared to look at it. With a hoarse voice, he said coldly,"Do you want to fight?"
" You-" The middle-aged man stood up and pointed angrily at the ghost army. He opened his mouth and wanted to curse.
"What are you doing? Sit down!" Xu Changpeng waved his hand coldly to stop the middle-aged man. Then, he sighed and said slowly,"It's been more than twenty years. It wasn't easy to gather together. I also know that other than the ghost army, your lives have also stabilized, and I don't want to force you.”
"Don't forget who gave you a stable life today. If it weren't for Ghost Qiao, would you still have such a good life today?”Madman Zhang suddenly said indifferently, pointing at the bald man and saying,"Guang Mei, if it wasn't for Gui Qiao, you would still be setting up stalls everywhere to support your family!”
He pointed at the middle-aged man with narrow eyes and said,"Dou Laogao, if you didn't meet Ghost Qiao, you would just be a supermarket security guard who makes a living. How could you be the CEO of a company with a big belly like now?”
"And you, Lin Hairy Ball, what were you doing twenty years ago? Small theft, you've been to the police station a lot, right? If it weren't for Ghost Qiao, would you be able to live like a dog today?”
"Mad Monk, what do you mean by that? Saying that we are ungrateful? Let me tell you, you don't have the right to say that about us!”The thin man called Lin Hairy Ball who was pointed at waved his hand and said unwillingly.
"What's wrong? When he wanted to help Ghost Qiao, he had to back down.”Madman Zhang sneered, and a trace of anger flashed across his honest face.
"Alright!" Xu Changpeng waved his hand to stop everyone from making noise. He looked around and slowly said,"Gui Jun was brought up by Gui Qiao. He was willing to stay. What do you say? You can decide whether you want to stay or leave. Gui Qiao came to find you of your own free will, and I don't want to force you.”
"Nine Dragons disbanded 20 years ago. I'm old and don't have the energy.”The bald man sighed and stood up. He nodded at Qiao Liansheng, who had been silent all this while, and walked out of the hall.
After the bald man left, the others also stood up and nodded at Qiao Liansheng before leaving the villa. Gui Jun, on the other hand, did not move at all. There was also a fat middle-aged man sitting there. From the beginning to the end, this fat middle-aged man did not say a word, but his expression kept flickering.
"Ge Heqing, what about you? You want to stay?" Xu Changpeng stared at the fat middle-aged man. His tone did not seem to be as happy as he had imagined. Instead, it was surprised and a little mocking.
Ge Heqing slowly raised his head and stared at Xu Changpeng. He said bitterly,"I know that all of you have always thought that I, Ge Heqing, was the one who betrayed Nine Dragons more than twenty years ago.”
Xu Changpeng and Lunatic Zhang looked at each other and listened to Ge Heqing quietly.
"Although I, Ge Heqing, love money, I'm also the most useless person in Nine Dragons. Other than collecting information, there's nothing I can help with. However, I, Ge Heqing, swear to the heavens that I have never done anything to let Gui Qiao down!”As Ge Heqing spoke, his expression became somewhat indignant.
"Today, since Nephew Qiao has returned, I, Ge Heqing, can finally contribute to Gui Qiao once again. I know you still don't believe me, and I don't want to prove anything. I just want you to give me a chance to do something for Ghost Qiao.”
Xu Changpeng smiled." Old Ge, you're thinking too much. We've never doubted you. We're very pleased that you chose to stay. Your intelligence work has always been the most complete and fastest in our Nine Dragons. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to do anything.”
"Welcome!" Madman Zhang smiled and nodded at Ge Heqing.
Looking at the two people who stayed behind, Qiao Liansheng sighed in her heart. Qiao Xianjing had been in the limelight for more than a year, but when it came to hardship, only these few people were willing to follow him. This should be said to be Qiao Xianjing's sorrow!
"With you guys around, we don't have to worry about things not being successful. Lian Sheng hereby guarantees to the elders that the Nine Dragons Guild will be in our hands once again!”Qiao Liansheng patted his chest and promised.
"Nephew, don't worry. I'll do my best in intelligence work!”Ge Heqing smiled and nodded.
"My life has always belonged to your Qiao family. This has never changed.”Gui Jun glanced at Qiao Liansheng indifferently, stood up, and left the villa. Before he left, he said," I'll be by your side at all times. Call me if you need me."”
Looking at Gui Jun's thin and frail back, Qiao Liansheng frowned slightly. He felt that Gui Jun was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, and more than once. However, he could not recall where he had seen him.
The Nine Dragons, which had been famous for more than twenty years, were now scattered. They were no longer brothers. Instead, they seemed to have fallen out with each other. It was very intriguing…
