The gang rules of the underworld two thousand years ago.

In the center of the hall, a burly man covered in Qinglong tattoos spoke indifferently, “Bring him over!”

Then he looked at the boss opposite him and said unhurriedly, “Recently, other gangs have been restless, seeing our leader transition. These two might be sent by them to scout for information.”

Hearing this, the Scarface opposite also nodded, “We specifically chose to discuss here during the day, yet they still managed to get in. There’s definitely something fishy!”

The two had a brief exchange, directly labeling Lin Yuan.

To be honest, if he wanted to run, he could definitely escape.

But what about the Photographer? If he was caught, at best his legs would be broken, at worst he would end up in the ICU.

Facing hundreds of people in the hall, no matter how good he was at fighting, it was impossible for him to fight so many alone; he would die of exhaustion.

So he decided not to act for now and see if he could explain clearly.

If it really didn’t work, it wouldn’t be too late to act.

Walking through the crowd, the two headed towards the center, with all eyes fixed on them.

With that aura and oppressive feeling, the Photographer huddled his neck like a quail.

At this moment, it was already good enough that he hadn't wet his pants.

Especially when they reached the central table and faced the few bosses, the oppressive atmosphere intensified.

The burly man asked indifferently, “Speak, which gang are you from? Were you sent here to scout for information?”

“Huh?” Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He had originally planned to explain that he was here to sell a house, but the other side directly went off script, treating him as someone from another gang.

How was he supposed to explain this?

While he was dazed, the Scarface opposite impatiently snapped, “I’m asking you a question, are you mute?”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, “Is there some misunderstanding? We just came to sell a house. Someone called me to come here to discuss the house.”

“Nonsense!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Scarface angrily retorted, “Do you take me for a three-year-old? Selling a house? Why don’t you say you’re selling planes and tanks? I’ll give you one more chance. If you don’t speak, I’ll break your legs and throw you out.”

“No, no, no!! I’ll talk!” Lin Yuan quickly stopped him, replying with a fawning smile, “Actually… I’ve admired your gang for a long time. I heard about your address before, and today I specifically came to join the gang.”

The Photographer was instantly dumbfounded.

The netizens in the live stream were also astonished.

The burly man opposite simply laughed in exasperation.

Lin Yuan was spouting nonsense, even saying he came to join the gang?

Even an idiot could tell he was talking rubbish.

However, he didn’t expose him. Instead, he replied mockingly, “Oh? You said you’ve admired us for a long time and are here to join the gang?”

“Then let me ask you, do you know our gang rules?”

As soon as these words came out, all hundreds of people in the hall looked over with interest, their faces revealing a playful amusement.

“Uh, this…” Lin Yuan looked bewildered, secretly thinking he had been careless.

Nima!!

What kind of situation is this?

Gang rules? How the hell would I know any gang rules?

Just as Lin Yuan hesitated, the Scarface impatiently snapped, “Speak! Can’t find an excuse?”

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, looking around, trying to see if there were any hints.

As a result, besides pictures of beautiful women, there was nothing.

But when he saw one of the subordinates holding a copy of the Analects, his expression immediately tightened!!

Seemingly having thought of something, he quickly replied with a smile, “Can I just say a few random ones?”

“Alright, go ahead!”

“Uh…” Lin Yuan pondered and replied, “A gentleman who is not grave will not inspire awe…”

“Hmm?” As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was bewildered.

What the hell? You’re asked to state gang rules, and you come out with classical Chinese.

The burly man looked at the opposite side, puzzled, “If I remember correctly, isn’t that from the Analects we learned as kids?”

The few people opposite all nodded.

They were stumped!

What kind of gang rule is this?

The Scarface stood up directly and angrily retorted, “Are you f***ing playing with us?”

“No, no!” Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, “These are the rules left by our ancestors for thousands of years in the underworld! You wouldn’t not know them, would you?”

“Huh?”

At this, the Scarface was also stunned.

He turned to look at the others and found that they all looked bewildered.

Lin Yuan quickly explained, “This sentence means that a gentleman must strike hard when hitting someone, otherwise he cannot establish prestige.”

Hearing this explanation, the Scarface’s face twitched involuntarily.

The others weren't much better off.

Good heavens, so this sentence originally meant that?

So, everything I learned as a child was for nothing?

But thinking about it carefully, it actually made a lot of sense.

Could it be that these are indeed the rules of the underworld for thousands of years?

Thinking of this, the Scarface and the others looked a bit uncomfortable.

The burly man cleared his throat, “Right, right… This indeed is a rule from the underworld thousands of years ago. I told you long ago to study more and not just focus on chasing girls and fighting all day.”

Lin Yuan looked at his forced act, feeling like laughing internally, and continued, “If one learns the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening.”

Everyone was bewildered again upon hearing this.

How did this sound like a phrase for enlightenment from a TV show? What did it have to do with gang rules?

Lin Yuan didn’t intend to keep them in suspense and explained with a smile, “This means that ancient people always sought revenge. If they found out about your family in the morning, you could die by evening!”

Oh~~

After hearing the explanation, there was a collective sound of realization at the scene.

The Photographer was stunned at this point. This works too? Could this be true? Is Lin Yuan not just tricking people?

The netizens in the live stream were all cracking up.

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1

— 【No problem, Confucius was nine feet tall, 2.2 meters. Otherwise, how could he travel around the states in a chaotic era? How could he do it without some skills? And his students, weren't they just little brothers of the underworld?】

— 【Listening to your words, I'd give up ten years of studying. The Analects actually have this meaning? So I really learned nothing before.】

— 【Woke up too fast, actually heard Confucius became a gang boss. This isn't the Analects (Lun Yu), it's clearly the 'Smashing Analects' (Lun Yu).】

— 【Learned something new, turns out over 2000 years ago, the underworld already had rules. Looks like we need to keep up with the times.】

Lin Yuan watched the reactions on site, feeling secretly pleased, and rattled off several more gang rules.

“While one’s parents are alive, one should not travel far; if one travels, one must have a fixed direction.”

“This means, your parents are in my hands, you can’t run away. Even if you run, I have ways to catch you back!”

“When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher.”

“This means, among three people, as long as I am present, my combat power is equivalent to an entire division.”

As Lin Yuan spoke eloquently, the gang members throughout the hall listened with great interest, like elementary school students.

Some even pulled out pens and notebooks to record these rules of the underworld from over two thousand years ago.

Only the Scarface could no longer bear it.

He stood up directly and roared furiously, “Damn it! I can’t take it anymore!”

“This guy is clearly messing with us, and you’re all listening so seriously.”

“What three people, as long as you’re there, your combat power is equivalent to a division!”

“Very good! Today, I want to see how high your combat power is, and see if I don’t break your legs!”

After speaking, he directly motioned to his subordinates behind him and shouted, “Beat him for me!”
