Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups

Chapter 1333 - 645:

His gaze swept across the mottled wall, finally stopping above the TV cabinet.

There was a dust-free wooden photo frame placed there.

In the photo, the young parents stood together, smiling brightly, with his mother holding him, just a month old, in her arms.

Even through the glass, one could see the happiness and tranquility captured in that moment.

Fang Cheng walked over and stopped in front of the cabinet.

He raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing over the glass of the frame.

"Dad, just watch from the heavens."

He spoke softly, his voice steady:

"I will take good care of Mom, and won’t let her suffer any grievances. As for the truth those people hid back then, I will find it out sooner or later, and give you an explanation."

After gazing for a moment, Fang Cheng let out a light sigh.

He then turned and walked into the bedroom.

A wallet was thrown on the desk, he picked it up and opened it, finding several bank cards and some hundred-yuan bills inside.

After confirming everything was in order, he stuffed the wallet into his usual blue canvas shoulder bag, slinging it over his shoulder.

The afternoon itinerary was packed.

Fang Cheng planned to first visit his old classmate Ning Yue’s auto dealership to check out cars, then take a trip to the supermarket to buy dinner ingredients.

Mom often traveled between Wanghu Town and Old Factory Street, and taking a taxi back and forth was really exhausting.

Fang Cheng had previously suggested that she should get a driver’s license and buy a car for transportation.

Li Biyun shook her head like a rattle drum, insisting that at her age, she was too clumsy, and driving on the road would only harm others.

Fang Cheng mulled it over for a few days and decided to buy the car anyway.

From the Illuminati, the Professor happened to recruit a few new members with clean backgrounds recently.

Appointing one of them to be Mom’s exclusive driver and bodyguard seemed more than suitable.

She had worked hard for most of her life; it was time she really lived as a wealthy lady.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Fang Cheng’s mouth.

As he walked to the living room, he calculated the accounts in his mind.

Buying this tubular building along with the transfer fees and taxes had already spent over 42 million, leaving about 20 million in the account.

Subsequent painting and renovation of the entire building, plus luxury decoration of the large flat floor on the top floor, following high-standard requirements, would require at least 6 to 7 million more.

After deducting car purchases and other miscellaneous expenses, there was roughly about 10 million left.

In the blink of an eye, he had fallen from a nouveau riche to a petite bourgeoisie.

Fang Cheng shook his head helplessly.

Luckily, he raided the Poison Snake Gang’s old nest a few days ago, and conveniently looted over a dozen gold bars, which converted to over 2 million.

Fortunately, he wouldn’t be short on cash immediately.

Speaking of which, Chen Fuan was quite proficient, handling things efficiently indeed.

After leading the Green Wolf Gang to sweep through the Poison Snake Gang’s various venues, he arranged for several subordinates to go to the police station and confess, taking all the blame for the armed fighting and killing.

They claimed that they couldn’t stand the heinous crimes committed by Wei Qiang, so they decided to act for justice and stormed the Blue Ice Bar, smashing the opponent’s head with an axe, leaving the police stunned.

Chen Fuan not only provided them with generous relocation fees but also hired lawyers at high salaries to defend them.

In this gang conflict, voluntarily surrendering, coupled with positively pleading guilty, and the fact that the deceased were all from the Martial World.

Going through this process, at most, they would be sentenced to thirty years in prison.

Once the heat died down, they could slowly work on reduction and soon be released and gain positions.

This kind of scapegoating method was commonplace in the society and a shortcut many low-level punks used to climb up.

The Green Wolf Gang hadn’t played this trick infrequently when seizing territory in the past.

Fang Cheng could learn about Chen Fuan’s details so clearly mainly through information obtained from his distant nephew.

Yes, this nephew was none other than the Red Tiger Gang’s leader, Chen Chen.

The two were from the Chen Family of Yong’an Island.

After Chen Chen made his fortune in East Capital, Chen Fuan took advantage of the situation, forming the Green Wolf Gang, becoming an outside force of the Red Tiger Gang.

With this relationship, they carved out a small turf in East Capital.

As for the eradicated Poison Snake Gang, it was actually the organization Ma Donghe had been with before.

More than half a year ago, the old Poison Snake Gang was swallowed by the Red Tiger Gang and it disbanded.

Someone like Ma Donghe, a seasoned hand, was long tired of the Martial World, and opted for a normal life.

Yet Wei Qiang was a stiff head, under the banner of the former gang leader, recruiting extensively and forming the new Poison Snake Gang.

Initially, these people were just gutter rats, incapable of stirring up any trouble.

But later, a mysterious organization came knocking, investing money to provide resources, turning the Poison Snake Gang into an outside force, specifically to do dirty work for the organization.

According to Chen Chen’s revelation, this so-called mysterious organization was Noah.

Due to past grievances between Wei Qiang and the Red Tiger Gang, Noah favored him.

Their motive was clear to everyone.

No more than wanting to cultivate one group to balance the overly bloated Red Tiger Gang.

Out of fear for Noah’s power, Chen Chen could only endure the provocations from Wei Qiang multiple times.

This time the Poison Snake Gang was uprooted by the Green Wolf Gang, allowing Chen Chen to vent some of his anger.

However, ensuing accountability from Noah was inevitable.

They would definitely assume that Chen Chen had ordered Chen Fuan to act, and maybe even suspect Chen Chen of recruiting top-tier experts.

Fang Cheng, for the sake of caution beforehand, specifically went to Chen Chen to inquire about Chen Fuan and the Green Wolf Gang’s deeds.

Unexpectedly, this group had such a connection with himself.

Chen Chen guessed Fang Cheng was behind it, but didn’t seem too panicked, instead complimented him, subtly mentioning wanting to become an outside force of the Illuminati.

This old fox clearly wanted to seek protection.

Fang Cheng knew this well, casually placating him, saying he needed to assess his recent performance, and dismissed him.

With the Poison Snake Gang already eliminated, Noah Organization’s threat still existed.

But for the current Fang Cheng, such a level of trouble was no longer worth mentioning.

Having advanced greatly in power, with his physical form nearly invincible, equipped him with the ability to act recklessly.

Unless Noah Board of Directors dispatched the legendary Level 12 or Level 13 cadres directly, any other would be just courting death.

"Hmm."

A trace of fierceness flickered in Fang Cheng’s eyes.

I’m quite looking forward to it, waiting for you guys to come, to test if my fists are hard enough.

Gathering his slightly wandering thoughts, Fang Cheng stepped over the threshold with the shoulder bag, and closed the security door.

He headed down the stairs, walked out of the tubular building, and arrived at the narrow street side.

Then he pulled out a car key from his pocket and pressed the unlock button.

"Beep, beep."

The black Range Rover SUV parked by the curb beeped twice, its lights flashing accordingly.

Fang Cheng stepped over, opened the driver’s door, and got into the car.

Inserted the key, started the engine, engaged the gear, and turned the wheel.

The heavy body of the car smoothly started, slowly leaving the Old Factory Street and joining the busy traffic on the main road.

The air conditioning in the cabin was turned on high, blocking out the exterior scorching heat of the sun.

Fang Cheng rested one hand on the steering wheel, following the convoy ahead, stopping and starting.

During the intervals waiting for the traffic lights, the figure with the ponytail from his youth appeared in his mind.

Ning Yue.

Considering that it’s been several months since he mentioned this Range Rover, he hadn’t seen this old classmate.

Recently, while idly chatting in the high school classmates group, Fang Cheng accidentally saw some gossip.

It was said that Ning Yue’s recent life was quite difficult, with a pile of family troubles.

One of her relatives even had some strange illness that couldn’t be diagnosed at the hospital, requiring her to stay up every night to care for him, leaving her quite worn out.

Fang Cheng always had a good impression of Ning Yue.

Back then, when he transferred to Jiangbei Second Middle School as a new student, unfamiliar with the place.

Ning Yue, with her warm heart, actively helped him get textbooks, make notes, helped him get familiar with the surroundings, saving him a lot of trouble.

Now, with an old classmate facing difficulties, Fang Cheng didn’t plan to go with empty comforting words.

Letting Ning Yue handle this order would give her an extra commission, helping her a little.

Anyway, wherever they went to buy the car for his mom, it was all the same.

The green light turned on.

Fang Cheng stepped on the accelerator, and the SUV made a low roar, passing through the intersection.

Twenty minutes later, the car turned onto a tree-lined road, slowly stopping in front of a spacious auto dealership.
