Yuan Yanan, at that time unable to resist, could only use every means to keep them hanging, sending them hope, yet deliberately maintaining distance, not allowing them to succeed.
When she was filling out college applications, she initially considered choosing a university far from Huadu, but was reluctant to leave her hometown. Her parents needed care, and if she left immediately, who would look after them?
After thinking for three days, Yuan Yanan did not apply to the better Huadu University, but instead went into Foreign Affairs College.
Foreign Affairs College might not have great academic prowess, but the quality of the male students there was higher.
Rather than relying on academics and proving herself over time to protect her family, she needed a man who could immediately provide stability for her and her family.
However, Yuan Yanan’s thoughts could not escape from the keen-eyed Wolf Brother.
There are plenty of beauties, but those of Yuan Yanan’s level are scarce resources.
Since they discovered Yuan Yanan, they treated her as their own possession. They hadn’t gotten their taste yet; how could they let other men have a chance?
Beyond having a pretty face and perfect figure, Yuan Yanan possessed an indescribable quality.
This quality was the reason they were unwilling to let go.
For a moment, the atmosphere next to the booth became incredibly eerie.
"Wolf Brother, the Wolf Brother you mentioned, he wouldn’t happen to have been in the Imperial Capital before, would he?"
As Yuan Yanan was tormented and nearly unable to bear the pressure, a sudden voice interrupted.
"How do you know Wolf Brother has been to the Imperial Capital?"
Zhang Ge was slightly stunned.
"I didn’t expect that in just half a year, he’s gotten worse instead of better."
Lin Beichen said flatly.
"Back in the Imperial Capital, I disciplined him. I thought maybe he could turn over a new leaf. Didn’t expect that after crossing half of Dragon Country, he’s still incorrigible, hanging around with you lot!"
"You little punk, what are you saying?"
Zhang Ge’s face darkened, shouting in anger.
Yuan Yanan’s heart suddenly sank.
Wolf Brother’s people are not good people; they are genuine underworld figures.
In Huadu’s surface world, these people might not be the most powerful, but they are certainly one of the most troublesome groups.
Su Manni and the others shrunk to one side, their faces pale, not daring to utter a word.
Only Chen Fangzhi maintained a normal expression, as if it was just a small scene, looking thoughtfully at Lin Beichen.
"Zhang Ge, why are you here?"
At this moment, Liu Yunxi and Yu Mengjie returned to the booth after a walk, instantly shocked.
"Zhang Ge, my classmates here are inexperienced. If they said something wrong, please don’t mind them. They are just students."
"It’s you!"
Zhang Ge’s face remained cold as he saw Liu Yunxi, speaking coldly:
"Your classmate isn’t ordinary. Big mouth, talking about disciplining Wolf Brother. We’re really scared."
"Wolf Brother?"
Liu Yunxi took a sharp breath.
He had been in Huadu for only a few days, but through spending money generously, he quickly entered the circles and learned about Wolf Brother’s reputation and status.
Wolf Brother’s big brother, Bai Long, indeed lacked any real skills, only earning some fame through family protection.
However, Bai Family seemed to be on a streak of luck in recent years, making substantial profits no matter what they invested in.
In just the last three months alone, Bai Family had invested in three different industries, spending billions, startling the entire southern region with their large-scale investment.
While people thought Bai Family might stumble, related industries flourished instantly. In just ten days, the family made a 50% profit.
Bai Family was already one of the eight major business families in the Imperial Capital. During this period, Bai Family’s eldest son came to southern areas to recuperate, and Bai Long seemed endlessly energetic, continuously absorbing the underworld, giving an impression of merging the sheets above and under.
If he truly accomplished this step, Bai Family would not just be northern power but a super force combining north and south, black and white.
These were still only the tip of the iceberg. Reportedly, Bai Family dared to invest so ostentatiously because they had the backing of a significant official.
With a significant person’s backing, who dares to disrespect?
Including Bai Long, a side branch descendant, even climbed higher, although he only mingled in the underworld, he vaguely had the potential to wash out and become an elite.
"Zhang Ge, my friends here are just inexperienced kids. Please spare them, don’t escalate this matter; can you do that?"
Liu Yunxi said anxiously.
"Spare them for you?"
Zhang Ge sneered.
"Liu Yunxi, you spend money generously and get along with brothers, so I appreciate you and willing to chat more. But don’t be ungrateful. If this matter gets big with Bai Long knowing, even your father wouldn’t be able to save you."
"Liu Yunxi, you need to understand who can help you and who will harm you. If not understood, disaster will follow."
Zhang Ge finished and turned away, leaving Liu Yunxi stunned.
"Liu Yunxi, don’t do anything foolish. Though you share a dorm with them, you’ve only met recently, not even friends. Is it worth offending prominent figures for them?"
Yu Mengjie held Liu Yunxi’s arm and whispered.
During this period, Yu Mengjie accompanied Liu Yunxi through various circles, gaining much insight and meeting many notable individuals.
The people he used to see as big shots were just small bosses. In the eyes of real big shots, those bosses weren’t even considered henchmen.
