Dashing Student

Chapter 123 - 123, You’re Just a Dog

Zhou Long didn’t know why Chen Nan had said that.

But for him,

going for a ride with his elder brother before leaving seemed like a perfect full stop to their brotherhood.

Jiang Wanli smiled and agreed, "Sure, I just had someone buy a Ferrari for Yanyan a few days ago, I’ll have it sent over right now."

"Speaking of which, we brothers used to dream of driving Ferraris to pick up girls, and now we’ve finally realized that dream."

Zhou Long also showed a reminiscent smile, "Yes, in our days, let alone having a supercar, even owning an Audi was a luxury."

"As for dreams..."

"Forget it!"

"If all a person’s dreams came true, then there’d be nothing to look forward to or cherish in life."

"Let’s just take my old Pulsar!"

Jiang Wanli didn’t say much, stood up, and wrapping his arm around Zhou Long’s shoulder, walked outside, took the elevator to the underground parking, and got into Zhou Long’s black Pulsar.

This car was his first, and although he bought it second-hand, it witnessed his transformation from an ordinary man to a big shot in the eastern city.

After his rise, he equipped each of his close brothers with a top-of-the-line Range Rover.

But Zhou Long refused the Range Rover and chose to keep this Pulsar instead.

Jiang Wanli agreed.

Because he knew Zhou Long was someone who cherished old things, who chose to keep his 300,000-kilometer-old Pulsar not just out of nostalgia but to take better care of it!

Although this Pulsar had now run over 600,000 kilometers, it had no shakes, the chassis was still tight, and the air conditioning worked well.

The overall riding experience was not worse than that of a car worth hundreds of thousands.

Zhou Long laughed and remarked, "Boss, the speed has hit sixty."

Jiang Wanli was momentarily stunned, then a sly smile spread across his face, he rolled down the window, stretched his hand out, and grabbed at the air in front of him, his face showing a look of satisfaction, "Like, damn like it, feels just like a woman’s breast!"

Zhou Long burst into hearty laughter.

Back then, they were poor and of low status; even thinking about women was just a thought.

They once found out,

that when the car reached sixty kilometers per hour, stretching out a hand to grab the air gave a sensation similar to grabbing a woman’s breast.

After that, they often did that.

It was also a nostalgic act from their youth.

But soon,

the laughter in the car gradually subsided, leaving only the roar of the engine and the noise of the wind.

"Boss, there’s something I don’t know if I should mention," Zhou Long broke the quiet atmosphere, speaking softly, "Although you now have a fortune worth billions, are you happy?"

Jiang Wanli asked instinctively, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Long focused on driving, "I haven’t seen you genuinely laugh from your heart in a long time, money might satisfy your basic needs, but it’s bound to cost you something else."

Jiang Wanli lit a cigarette and quietly smoked, he knew what Zhou Long was trying to say because among all his brothers, Zhou Long understood his heart the most, without a doubt.

Zhou Long continued, "I don’t blame you for driving me out of Jizhou, because I know you had no choice."

"But what I want to know is,"

"What did you strive for all your life?"

"Wasn’t it to secure a worry-free life for the brothers who fought battles with you?"

"In fact, you have already achieved the bragging you did back then."

"Not only is your net worth over a million,"

"but each of us old brothers is worth millions, or even more."

"But..."

"You’ve lost happiness and freedom."

"Is this really the life you wanted?"

"Is this really the life the brothers wanted?"

Hesitating, Zhou Lin gathered his courage and said, "Don’t blame me for speaking harshly, but you are now like a dog, a dog that wags its tail and begs for orders from its master!"

"Fuck you!" Jiang Wanli’s face filled with rage, followed by a bitter smile, "It turns out you really understand me!"

"You’re right, I am indeed like a dog now."

"A dog that appears imposing but lacks dignity."

"Even if the master wants to eat dog hot pot, I have to send out my brothers."

His eyes revealed a fierce look, matching the scar on his face, making him appear even more ferocious and savage.

"I don’t want it to be like this either!"

"But..."

"What can I do?"

"I can’t change my fate!"

Zhou Long murmured, "We can leave together."

Jiang Wanli angrily said, "I’m fucking reduced to eating shit, and you’re telling me to just walk away? If I leave, how will I vent the grievances and injustices I have suffered?"

Zhou Long was left speechless.

Jiang Wanli roared loudly, "I’m not afraid of eating shit, I’m afraid of not having enough."

"I need to eat shit to become stronger."

"However."

"It’s not that big of a deal."

"Once I grow strong, I’ll make those who forced me to eat shit lose everything!"

Zhou Long shuddered and hurriedly said, "Big brother, your thoughts are a bit extreme, with such ideas, you are doomed to meet a bad end."

"We are all tired of the constant fighting in the underworld, and we’ve finally found peace, why must you harbor such extreme thoughts?"

"Please step back, won’t you?"

"Think about the brothers."

"Think about Yanyan."

Jiang Wanli smiled and shook his head, "A Long, you really don’t understand people’s hearts, especially those of the ones in power."

"Do you think I want to harm them?"

"No!"

"Even if I willingly be their dog, once I am no longer of use, they will kill me for a dog meat hot pot."

Having said that, he sighed, "Unfortunately, by the time I realized my situation, I was already too deep in to turn back!"

Zhou Long gripped the steering wheel tightly and said softly, "So, it seems you’re letting me leave, but actually, you want me to plan ahead for the brothers, finding a safe place to start anew?"

Jiang Wanli nodded slightly, "Those people have been against me for a long time, not knowing if they will get rid of me before I’m full. This incident is a good opportunity."

"First, it shows them my attitude toward them, and second, it also helps me plan ahead for the brothers."

He looked out the window, his sharp eyes flickering with a touch of tenderness, "All of this, all has been battled for by you."

"Even if I die, I must protect you all!"

Zhou Long felt as if a huge stone blocked his heart, an almost suffocating feeling, yet he didn’t know what to say.

But just then.

Jiang Wanli’s phone rang, and he answered it casually, his face showing shock, "What did you say? An explosion happened in my office?"

At the same time.

Zhou Long instinctively pressed the brakes, his eyes full of horror!

In that moment.

He finally understood why Chen Nan had made him take his boss away from the office!
