117: The masters win hearts and minds, strategizing and planning.
"Dad, I gathered some more herbs..."
A sturdy young man walked in excitedly.
He looked up.
Seeing Chen Yang, he suddenly froze.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Yang smiled.
"Zhuo Xiaogang?"
"You're Uncle Zhuo's son!"
"What a coincidence!"
Zhuo Wuyang was very surprised!
"Xiao Yang, you and Xiao Gang?... You know each other?"
So.
Chen Yang briefly recounted how Zhuo Xiaogang saved him, and how they later met at the grand hotel.
Zhuo Wuyang couldn't help but sigh, life's encounters are truly miraculous!
He also lectured Zhuo Xiaogang.
"A girl like that, if she broke up with you, then she broke up. Our Zhuo Family doesn't care for her."
Zhuo Xiaogang pouted, muttering softly.
"Don't care? If I end up a bachelor, don't blame me for not trying."
Zhuo Wuyang was so angry he wanted to hit him.
Zhuo Xiaogang was very slick.
He darted to Chen Yang's side.
He said with a grin:
"Brother Yang, it turns out our two families are old acquaintances."
Chen Yang was also very happy.
With this connection.
Zhuo Xiaogang's chances of working in Jiangcheng greatly increased.
"Xiao Gang, with your skills, why are you a security guard?"
Zhuo Xiaogang's expression darkened.
He told his story.
It turned out.
Zhuo Xiaogang had once served in the military.
Because of his excellent skills.
He was selected into the special forces to be a Soldier King.
He won first place in the military district's special forces combat competition.
He was a key training target for the unit.
Later.
Because of his stubborn temper, he assaulted a superior and was forced to retire.
After returning home.
He had no other means of making a living.
He could only honestly work as a small security guard.
Chen Yang sighed.
"What a pity!"
"If you had stayed in the military, gone to a military academy, you would definitely have a great future."
Zhuo Wuyang glared at his son.
"You must change your temper in the future!"
"If I see you fighting again, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"
Zhuo Xiaogang shrunk his neck.
Chen Yang, however, came to his rescue.
"Uncle, for us martial artists, a bit of spirit isn't a bad thing."
"The key is to see who you're fighting with."
"If it's an ordinary person, we absolutely must not use our hands."
"On the contrary, we should offer help, and even uphold justice."
"If it's a bad person, strike when you need to!"
Zhuo Wuyang said nothing.
Neither opposing nor affirming.
It was... tacit approval!
Chen Yang looked at Zhuo Wuyang.
"Uncle, I invite you to stay in Jiangcheng for a while, would you be willing?"
Zhuo Wuyang shook his head.
"My health isn't good, I don't want to go anywhere."
Chen Yang persuaded:
"Jiangcheng is a big city after all, its medical conditions are much better than Caiyun City's."
"Moreover."
"I know doctors at the City First Hospital in Jiangcheng who can provide the best medical care."
"Don't worry."
"I will definitely help you arrange everything so you don't have to worry."
Zhuo Wuyang still shook his head.
"No need to trouble you!"
"I know my own body."
"Ordinary methods and ordinary medicinal materials definitely won't cure it."
Chen Yang tried hard to persuade him.
"Modern medicine is advanced, perhaps there's hope for a cure at a big hospital in Jiangcheng."
"And my strength is more than just an Intermediate Soldier King, Xiao Gang knows this."
Zhuo Xiaogang was beside him.
Nodding like a chicken pecking rice.
"Yes!"
"Brother Yang's strength is at least that of an Intermediate War General, much stronger than me."
Regardless of Zhuo Wuyang's puzzled gaze.
Chen Yang continued:
"My strength is in a period of rapid ascent!"
"I believe that in the near future, I will definitely reach the Bright Martial Artist level."
"Or even the Dark Martial Artist level."
"By then."
"You tell me the address, and I can go to the Dangerous Land to help you find the spirit medicine."
Zhuo Wuyang was greatly comforted!
"Child, it's enough that you have this intention."
"You mustn't risk your life for me!"
"If something unexpected happens, how can I explain it to your father?"
Chen Yang smiled.
"Don't worry about that, I will definitely make thorough preparations before setting off."
"If you're in Jiangcheng, once I have the spirit medicine, I can treat you promptly."
"Moreover."
"I also want to be near you, visit often, and show some filial piety."
"Most importantly."
"I'm doing quite well in Jiangcheng."
"If Xiao Gang comes with me, he will definitely achieve something."
Zhuo Wuyang was still hesitating.
Zhuo Xiaogang was a bit anxious and joined in the persuasion.
"Dad, your health is getting worse and worse."
"Going to a big city, a big hospital, will definitely get you better treatment."
"Moreover."
"You can't just watch me be a small security guard, even my girlfriend looked down on me."
"Living a perpetually downtrodden life."
"I believe in Brother Yang, following him will definitely lead to a future!"
This move was very effective.
Which father doesn't hope his son has a future?
Zhuo Wuyang's expression finally softened slightly.
Zhuo Xiaogang struck while the iron was hot.
"You often think of my sister, she's in Jiangcheng."
"If we also move there, then my sister can visit home often."
Zhuo Wuyang was finally persuaded.
He sighed deeply.
"Alright!"
"Since Xiao Yang is so enthusiastically inviting, and you want to go so much."
"I'll go with your wishes!"
"I haven't seen Hongmei in a long time, I really miss her!"
"I wonder."
"How is she doing, struggling alone in Jiangcheng?"
Chen Yang was overjoyed!
And a little puzzled.
"Xiao Gang, you have an older sister?"
Zhuo Xiaogang nodded.
"Yes, Brother Yang, my sister is in Jiangcheng."
"She's very beautiful!"
"She seems to work at a big hotel, and her salary is quite high."
"As for which hotel and what position, my sister doesn't say, so I don't know."
Chen Yang secretly nodded.
Heaven is truly helping me!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gang's sister was also in Jiangcheng.
It actually helped him.
"Uncle, Xiao Gang, pack your things."
"In two hours, I'll send a car to pick you up."
Before leaving.
Chen Yang mentioned the matter of escorting the raw stones this afternoon.
He sought their opinions.
The focus was on clearly explaining the dangers involved.
Would they follow the convoy together?
Or fly directly to Jiangcheng?
Unexpectedly.
Their opinions were very consistent.
Zhuo Wuyang's body trembled.
His aura greatly boosted!
"Xiao Yang, let's go together!"
"Let Xiao Gang give you a hand, he can help a little."
"As for me, don't worry."
"Although I'm sick, I'm not crippled."
"I can still handle ordinary petty thieves."
Zhuo Xiaogang was also eager to try.
"Brother Yang, I want to fight the 'devils' with you!"
Chen Yang patted his shoulder.
Very happy.
"Alright, you stay by my side then, be careful if the other side has guns."
On the way back.
Chen Yang called Black Tiger and made some arrangements.
When they arrived at the hotel.
Liu Sisi, Su Youlan, and the others had already packed.
They were ready to take a car to the airport.
Chen Yang saw them off.
He also coordinated with Lilac.
Ensuring the afternoon's escort operation would be foolproof.
At this moment.
Uncle Ming came to request to escort the raw stones with Lilac.
Lilac knew Uncle Ming had issues.
So she didn't want to agree.
"Okay."
Unexpectedly.
Chen Yang overstepped his bounds and agreed directly.
"Uncle Ming, thank you for coming with us!"
"At that time, you can lead the way with a few assistants."
"I'll be at the rear with your young miss."
Uncle Ming was overjoyed.
"It's no trouble, it's what I should do."
Watching Uncle Ming walk away.
Lilac was full of worry!
"Knowing he has problems."
"Why did you let him come along?"
