Chapter 1: Became the boss right after arriving?
"I will never go near him again, please... please let me go."
"I'll remind you one last time, if you get any closer, don't blame me for being impolite..."
Lu Zhaoye, leaning against the wall, frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey, you son of a bitch, where have you been all this time...?"
"Wasn't I drinking at a promotion party?"
The scene was dark and gloomy. Two young men dressed in flashy clothes and looking like thugs were standing in front of a girl who had fallen to the ground, swaggering around.
Lu Zhaoye stood there, stunned. Was he a time traveler or a reincarnated man?
You mean you've been working like a slave in your job for over a decade, enduring all hardship and criticism?
After finally getting through the old man's retirement, it's my turn for a promotion and a raise.
Then, while we were having a celebratory drink, I died?
Very well, I will transform into a demon and destroy the entire world.
It must be a dream!
"Slap!" Lu Zhaoye slapped himself hard, making a crisp sound.
It actually feels pain!
Lu Zhaoye was so angry he felt like he was about to vomit blood.
"Um?"
One of the skinny boys in the dead end, with red hair on his head, turned around after hearing the noise, frowned slightly, and then walked towards them.
Lu Zhaoye's heart skipped a beat, and his eyelids twitched.
"Damn, this little redhead is definitely not someone to mess with. Don't come any closer!"
At that moment, Lu Zhaoye also caught a glimpse of the girl who was cornered, groping around with her hands.
Her hair was very long, and her face was obscured as she looked down.
However, his school uniform was wrinkled and covered in dust, and he was very thin and looked frail.
"Don't bother looking for your broken stick, I threw it away!"
Upon seeing this, the chubby green-haired boy standing next to the girl roared again.
The girl was startled, then curled up in the corner, pulled her hands back and hugged her knees tightly, sobbing softly.
You bastard!
What a bastard!
Lu Zhaoye cursed inwardly, and at that moment the red-haired man was almost in front of him.
Lu Zhaoye swallowed hard; he had never been in a fight before.
Should I run away or fight them?
I just arrived and haven't even figured out what's going on yet.
It's best not to meddle in other people's business, lest you get yourself into trouble.
Once we escape, we'll go out and find Uncle Hat to come back and help us!
When the time comes, I can leave without a trace, concealing my merits and fame. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
So, Lu Zhaoye avoided Hong Mao's gaze and walked out of the alley.
Stop messing around, I was just passing by, just pretend you didn't see me.
"Brother Zhaoye, what's wrong?"
Red Hair leaned closer and lowered his voice.
"Shall we take action?"
Lu Zhaoye was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.
Brother Zhaoye? Make a move?
What are you talking about in your sleep?
Lu Zhaoye blinked and realized that the red-haired man was indeed talking to him.
He forced a calm demeanor and asked a question in return.
"Um?"
"You just slapped yourself in the face, doesn't that mean you want us to take action?"
Lu Zhaoye was speechless. He thought he was dreaming...
He stared intently at the red-haired man, his extensive experience allowing him to vaguely guess what was going on.
However, he wasn't quite sure yet, "What...did you just call me?"
"Brother Zhaoye, what else should I call you?"
Red Hair said with a bewildered look on his face.
After a brief silence of a few seconds, Lu Zhaoye spoke again.
"Don't call me that anymore, just call me... the Wild King."
"Wild turtle?"
Red Hair scratched his head and tentatively said.
Lu Zhaoye immediately curled his lip, "I'm talking about Wild King!"
Red Hair scratched his head, looking utterly puzzled, and asked...
"Boss, why do I call you that?"
Lu Zhaoye felt much relieved. So, he had already gained subordinates right after his rebirth, and they were even leaders?
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, feeling that the title of "boss" seemed better.
For Lu Zhaoye, who had adhered to the rules for thirty-eight years in his previous life, this kind of rebirth... seems quite interesting.
"Call me whatever you want, but... in that case, you guys should leave now."
Lu Zhaoye patted the red-haired man on the shoulder and said casually, "I'll talk to her alone..."
Red-haired man looked confused and moved a little closer to Lu Zhaoye.
"Boss, didn't you say we couldn't reveal our identities?"
"Forehead......"
Lu Zhaoye stood there awkwardly, but he quickly came up with a solution.
He stood still, staring into the red-haired man's eyes, without saying a word.
Don't ask, or you'll just be pretending to be an expert.
"Okay, boss, I get it!"
Red Hair chuckled and said in a very lewd tone to Green Hair, "Don't scare them, let's go."
The green-haired man standing in front of the girl was somewhat puzzled.
But he didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye to Lu Zhaoye, and left.
"Brother Zhaoye, we're leaving now. Call us if you need anything."
"Um."
When the two boys disappeared at the end of the alley.
Lu Zhaoye then turned around and looked at the girl lying on the ground.
Her sobs had stopped, and she was now huddled in a corner against the wall, head down and hugging her legs.
Beside him was a schoolbag that had just been torn. Lu Zhaoye walked over, picked it up, and gently brushed off the dust.
The backpack straps had many stitches, matching the girl's clothes.
Lu Zhaoye, being a man of many experiences, immediately realized that the girl in front of him probably didn't come from a very good family.
But how could a girl like this be intercepted and bullied?
Lu Zhaoye picked up the dirty white schoolbag, walked up to the girl, and then slowly squatted down.
The girl's body was trembling slightly.
Lu Zhaoye had never encountered such a situation before. He was indeed a seasoned veteran, but that only applied to those who were adept at navigating the complexities of life.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak as gently as possible.
"Hey... Shall I take you out to eat?"
My subordinate bullied her, so it's reasonable for me, as her boss, to compensate her with a meal, right?
Upon hearing this, the girl trembled even more noticeably.
She gripped her trouser leg tighter and said, her voice choked with emotion.
"I really won't go near Su Cheng again, please let me go."
Lu Zhaoye was dumbfounded and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"You've misunderstood, classmate. Those two people have already left, don't be afraid."
The girl sniffled, her voice choked with emotion, and asked, "Really?"
"Really? Just look up and you'll see."
Lu Zhaoye quickly replied.
The girl was clearly taken aback when she heard this.
Then she cried even louder, her tears falling to the ground and soaking the dust.
Lu Zhaoye's lips twitched, not knowing what to do. Why was she crying even louder than before when she saw her?
The next second, the girl slowly raised her head, crying as she asked again to confirm.
"Did they really leave?"
"I......"
Lu Zhaoye was numb looking at the girl who was crying her eyes out.
"It's right in front of you, why are you crying so miserably?"
So he cursed the two thugs under his breath a few more times.
Born! Look what they've done to this little girl!
He glanced nervously behind him, and to make sure no one had seen him, he hurriedly said,
"Yes, they're all gone, didn't you see?"
"you......"
The girl stopped sobbing, looked up and followed the sound, staring intently at Lu Zhaoye.
Lu Zhaoye swallowed hard, only then realizing a serious problem.
He was there too, and those two thugs even called him boss.
His forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and he was about to speak.
A pitiful look appeared on the girl's face as she slowly spoke.
"Could you help me find my white cane?"
