FYN Chapter 57 Establishment of the New South District
Chapter 57 Establishment of the New South District
This sudden scene stunned everyone.
Lin Zheng and Shen hope both stared wide-eyed at the bizarre explosion.
Lin Zheng's pupils reflected the images of his men who had initially been injured but were now completely dead in the fire, and even the father and daughter had been swallowed up by the flames and disappeared from this world.
After her initial surprise, Shen hope looked at Lin Zheng, then looked down to observe how he was protecting her.
The debris and slag from the explosion covered almost all of Lin Zheng's back, but not much fell on him.
It was past 10 p.m. in the lobby of an unfinished building.
Everyone from the Southwest District and the Southwest District has gathered here tonight; at a glance, there are nearly four or five hundred people.
Although they were in the same camp, they were implicitly divided into two teams.
Xia Yi, his body wrapped in bandages and his face bruised and swollen, stood in front, listening to the whispers of the two groups of brothers. He was startled when he learned what Lin Zheng had done today.
He originally thought that Lin Shao's so-called revenge against Brother Jin in the South District would be a lesson, but he wouldn't go too far. He never expected that Lin Shao would kill him directly.
Fifty or sixty people also died in the explosion.
The murmurs at the scene only quieted down after a figure appeared in the distance. Lin Zheng, who had already taken a quick shower and changed into new clothes, slowly walked to the front of the line.
Unlike the scene half a month ago when everyone questioned him, Lin Zhengqian's actions in the past half month have silenced everyone, and they are now convinced and respectful of their new leader.
The things he did, in terms of efficiency, directness, and ruthlessness, were incomparable to what Xia Yi, who used to seek stability, had done in the eyes of everyone.
Shen hope didn't appear at the moment. She leaned against a stone pillar in the distance, silently processing everything that had happened today as she watched Lin Zheng appear.
Lin Zheng stopped in front of him, scrutinizing the two groups of people on his left and right:
"With so many brothers gathered here today, some familiar and some unfamiliar, I won't waste any time with small talk. I'm sure you've all heard about what the Golden Hairy Bro from the former South District did."
Not only did he have long arms, but he also harmed someone's daughter. In my opinion, he's worse than an animal and deserves to die. Such a person doesn't deserve to live, let alone lead others in doing things. So today, I've already executed him on behalf of Heaven."
Lin Zheng raised his voice: "Starting today, I, Lin Zheng, hereby announce that I will officially take over the area previously managed by Brother Golden Retriever. We will merge our two areas and from now on, we will all be called the Southern District. We will all be one team. What do you all think?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything about it being impossible.
After all, the people in the Southwest District were originally Lin Zheng's people, and the people in the South District, having witnessed what happened at the bar entrance today, dared not say another word.
Lin Zheng's gaze swept over everyone's expressions:
"Everyone can speak their mind today. I won't get angry and I will respond. But if you still have any objections after today, I'll probably be less polite when I find out. I've gathered all the brothers here tonight to make things clear."
Even though Lin Zheng said that, no one spoke for a moment.
About a minute later, someone from the south side finally mustered the courage to slowly raise their hand, but their voice was trembling:
"Brother Lin... can I quit? Quitting means I don't want to do this anymore, okay?" He said, tears welling up in his eyes, trembling as he said, "I'm only twenty years old, and I just joined. Seeing what happened today really terrifies me..."
His words resonated with no one else; instead, many people felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing them, certain that Lin Zheng would make an example of him.
That's what Brother Jin did before, and it's even said that this is the unspoken rule in this industry; it's easy to get in but incredibly difficult to get out.
Lin Zheng smiled and beckoned, "Come here."
The man turned pale with fright and stood motionless, denying his words: "Brother Lin... if you don't want to, that's fine! I was just saying!"
Lin Zheng said impatiently, "I told you to come here!"
The young man then walked over shakily and tremblingly to Lin Zheng's side.
Terrified, Lin Zheng noticed the guy's blue hair, tugged at his coat, and discovered he was covered in tattoos.
Moreover, the patterns seem numerous and large.
Lin Zheng asked curiously, "What's this tattoo?"
After hesitating for a long time, the man finally dared to say, "Guan...Guan Gong..."
"A full back tattoo? You're really something else. And why did you dye your hair blue?"
"I...I don't know...I just think it looks good..."
Lin Zheng looked into the other person's eyes, which were almost dead with fright, and deliberately tried to scare them by saying:
"If I agree to let you quit, do you dare promise me you'll change this Guan Yu character into Pleasant Goat?"
"Okay, I'll listen to whatever Lin Zheng says."
"So, I'll tell you to be a good citizen who never does anything bad in the future, will you listen?"
"Listen! I'll definitely listen!" He nodded vigorously.
Lin Zheng said appreciatively, "That's great. If I find out you've been doing bad things and bullying people since you quit, I'll have someone go to your house that very night and kill you and your whole family. Do you hear me?"
The young man trembled all over: "I swear... as long as Brother Lin lets me go, I promise I'll never do anything bad again..."
"Repeat this to yourself: if you do it, I'll willingly let Brother Lin kill me. After you say that, I'll let you go."
The man slowly repeated each word: "If I do something bad, I'll willingly let Brother Lin kill me."
Lin Zheng patted the young man on the shoulder and looked at the crowd:
"Are there any others like him who want to clear their name? This event is only valid once, and the conditions are the same: you can withdraw, but if you continue to do bad things after withdrawing, even if it's just bullying people for no reason, and I find out even a little bit about it, I will come to settle accounts with you that very day."
No one knew whether Lin Zheng was testing them or not, but people did start raising their hands.
Lin Zheng nodded:
"Those who raised their hands, go to the side and make a note of your phone number, ID card, and home address. Remember, never change your number in the future. If you do, report it immediately. Otherwise, if I can't find you, it will be considered that you are hiding something from me. Of course, if you don't do anything bad, I won't bother you. After you finish writing, go with Xia Yi to collect 20,000 yuan each for laundering money. Go back and live a good life."
One by one, people stepped out of the queue to line up and write their information. With each step they took, they were very worried that Lin Zheng would change his mind, but the fact was beyond their expectations. They all left the scene safely.
After a large-scale exodus, Lin Zheng asked Xia Yi to tally the total number of people remaining.
Xia Yi reported, "Young Master Lin, there are still 321 people left in total. At least..."
Lin Zheng raised his hand to interrupt. He wasn't interested in how many people had left. He only knew that the remaining people were either completely unable to leave, such as those who had killed people and would be caught even if they tried to leave, or they were empty-handed and had no home to return to.
However, for whatever reason, those who stayed in this situation tend to be more loyal.
Lin Zheng: "The brothers who didn't leave will each receive 60,000 later. I also got some money from Brother Golden Hair's secret stash today, so naturally I can't let the brothers go hungry. From now on, the South District is officially established!"
The crowd cheered in unison.
