"Ah Hao, come out for a moment."
Near noon, there was a knock on the office door. Jiang Qiwen pushed the door open and saw Mu Wanrou playing the piano, so she waved to Jiang Jiahao.
Jiang Jiahao put down his guitar, followed Jiang Qiwen to the corridor, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"Nana has been making noises recently and refuses to go to school. She wants to see you and is waiting for you in her room. You go and see her."
"Jiang Na? Okay, you go and stay with Mu Wanrou, and I'll go up and take a look."
Jiang Jiahao frowned slightly when he heard this, patted Jiang Qiwen on the shoulder, and returned to private room 401.
In private room 401, Jiang Na, who was wearing a princess dress, was sitting on the sofa sullenly. Abao on the side was coaxing her and giving her snacks, but she was indifferent.
Seeing Jiang Jiahao coming, Abao showed some confusion on his face. He could only get up and get into the inner room, open the door crack, and eavesdrop on the sounds outside.
Seeing Jiang Jiahao appear, Jiang Na's eyes became slightly focused and asked, "Can I not go to school?"
"If you don't go to school, what can you do? Go out with a knife and stab people like the rest of us? Or sit at home and wait to be stabbed?"
Jiang Jiahao walked to the cabinet, took a bottle of milk, inserted a straw into it, and put it on the coffee table in front of Jiang Na.
He hugged his shoulders with interest and leaned against the table, eager to hear Jiang Na's answer.
Jiang Na took the milk with an aggrieved face and just took a sip. Tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Jiang Jiahao with an aggrieved face.
"I don't like those classmates, and those classmates don't like me either. They say I'm a bastard, so I fight with them. The teacher doesn't talk about them, only about me."
"I have a family, just a family... I'm not a bastard, no!"
"Abao." Jiang Jiahao's face turned cold after hearing this, and he shouted to the eavesdropping Abao, who immediately jumped out.
"Take a few of your younger brothers to Nana's school and see who bullies her. You can vent your anger on Nana's behalf."
"When an adult comes, just be reasonable. Who dares to intervene in the children's fight and have them thrown into the sea to feed the fish?"
"clear!"
Abao patted his chest and was about to leave, but Nana grabbed his arm.
She looked at Jiang Jiahao angrily: "Why are you so rude? I just don't want to go to school. Why are you taking it out on others?"
Jiang Jiahao smiled and said nothing, and raised his fingers at Ah Bao. Ah Bao hid back in the room with a confused look on his face and continued to eavesdrop.
"So, you were bullied at school and all that was just an act, and you just didn't want to go to school?"
"Then tell me, at your age, what can you do if you don't go to school?"
"In this way, if you go to the kitchen and slaughter a goose independently, you don't have to go to school."
Jiang Na stared at Jiang Jiahao with a stubborn look on her face, dropped her schoolbag, rolled up her arms and sleeves, and rushed out of the box.
"Nana!" Abao chased after him. Seeing that Jiang Jiahao was still interested in playing with the dagger, he complained: "Brother, you clearly know that Nana doesn't even dare to kill a crab, and you still let her kill a goose?! "
"Abao, Nana is a girl. Unlike you, you can mix in society. What about her?"
"She doesn't study now. She will be a little girl when she grows up. Can you always protect her?"
"If you can't protect her, it's really hard for a little beauty like Nana not to become someone else's plaything."
Jiang Jiahao's voice was faint, which made Abao's face keep changing, and he asked: "Brother, what do you mean?"
"I've heard from Zhang Cuilan that Nana hates studying. She doesn't actually hate studying, she just hates being arranged by me."
"Abao, you can join the club at any time, but now, you are wasting your best years."
"You two are both excellent. If you follow the right path, you will be my right-hand man in less than ten years."
"Go to England or the United States, choose one, stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong for the time being, and when you are really strong, come back to Xiangjiang and help me."
Putting the dagger back into its scabbard, Jiang Jiahao took out several invitation letters from aristocratic schools from the drawer and threw them to Abao.
"Mu Wanrou spent a lot of effort to get it. They are all aristocratic schools, and the annual tuition fees are ridiculously expensive, but it doesn't matter, I can afford to support you."
Abao didn't read the invitation, but there was a little mist in his eyes, and his voice was crying: "Brother, don't you want Abao?"
"A Bao is my most trusted white paper fan. Do you know why I changed your name to Jiang Bao?"
"Jiang Jiahao, Jiang Qiwen, Jiang Bao, Jiang Na, Jiang Hua, we are a family, and it is only for you that I am willing to beg Mu Wanrou to get these invitations."
"Hong Kong in the future will never be like it is now, with the society and the criminal police covering the sky. Maybe by then, the society will be in a difficult situation!"
"Jiangzidui will definitely grow bigger and become a thorn in the side of others. Only by gathering as many talents as possible around me can I afford a bigger stall."
"It's not just you and Jiang Na. When the manpower is no longer tight, I will also find ways to arrange for Buck Yasu, Ruan Wenjie and the others to go out, otherwise they will be eliminated by the latecomers sooner or later."
"Abao, you are the smartest among them. If you don't study now, it will be difficult for you to study later."
"Choose one. Once you've chosen a school, I'll let Aang and Betty take you away together, just to keep you company."
Abao wiped his tears, looked at Jiang Jiahao's sincere expression, and held the invitation in his hand tightly.
He knew that Jiang Jiahao was doing it for his own good, and every word he said was heartfelt, but he was reluctant to let him leave Xiangjiang like this.
After hesitating for a long time, Abao turned and walked towards the door, leaving behind a sentence: "I'll ask Nana."
As soon as A Bao left, Jiang Qiwen pushed the door open and came in. She hesitated to say more. "Do you have to let A Bao leave? It's not like there are no aristocratic schools in Xiangjiang."
"After the scenery comes big trouble. Take advantage of the calm now and send the children away quickly. Don't wait until trouble comes. They won't be able to leave even if they want to."
Jiang Qiwen frowned, lit up a lady's cigarette, sucked on it, and asked, "What big trouble are you referring to?"
Jiang Jiahao didn't want to discuss this issue, so he asked, "Didn't I ask you to accompany Mu Wanrou? She left?"
Jiang Qiwen didn't speak, just nodded, and the room fell into a temporary silence.
After a long time, Jiang Jiahao walked to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette and sucked on it. He said quietly: "The original plan was for you and Betty to leave with A Bao."
"But I really can't live without you, so I can only choose Aang who is down-to-earth and steady."
"Have you noticed this problem? Recently, I can always see Aang and Betty. They squeeze into a room and moan. They have stories."
"You're boring!" Seeing the sudden change in the painting style, Jiang Qiwen glanced at Jiang Jiahao, who had a gossipy face, smiled and sat across from him, shrugging.
"Betty is wary of everyone. She is very insecure, so naturally she wants to find a man to take refuge with. Aang, this idiot, is a good choice."
"It's just that they are not a good match. A mute girl is not worthy of Aang after all."
After thinking about it, Jiang Qiwen said again: "Recently, there have been many small clubs sitting in the entertainment center, and they want to seek shelter."
"Oh, someone is here to hug you so soon?" Jiang Jiahao smiled and nodded: "Accept it, why not accept it if someone offers protection money? Anyone who comes will be accepted!"
Jiang Qiwen nodded, stood up and walked towards the door: "He has begged me many times to sit in the Red Bull Club. Just wait, I will bring him up."
"Oh, then this person must be extraordinary, he can actually persuade you."
Seeing Jiang Qiwen twisting her waist and leaving, Jiang Jiahao took the apple, peeled it, took a bite and chewed it.
Not long after, Jiang Qiwen walked into the house with three young people wearing T-shirts and blue dragon tattoos embroidered on their arms, and invited them to sit across from Jiang Jiahao.
Jiang Jiahao looked at them, and they also looked at Jiang Jiahao.
The first man, a crew-cut man who looked exactly like Big B, took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Jiahao and introduced: "Brother Hao, my name is Big B, and these two are my younger brothers."
"I know that you are now a well-known figure in Yau Ma Tei. I came to you today to ask for your help."
"Is your name Big B?" Jiang Jiahao looked at the man who called himself Big B and looked very much like Big B with a playful look on his face. Big B brother raised his fingers at Jiang Qiwen who was standing aside.
Jiang Qiwen walked to a closet and opened it, revealing the long and short guns inside, which made Big B and his little brother swallow their saliva.
"Brother Hao, I'm not here to buy a gun today."
Jiang Qiwen heard that the other party was not here to buy a gun, so she closed the cabinet door and returned to the table, hugging her shoulders and smoking.
Jiang Jiahao's face turned cold when he heard this, and he asked quietly: "I don't sell drugs here, and you don't buy guns, so what business is there?"
