Chapter 56: Wang Guanghu

Yue Zhong smiled faintly, "My apologies!"

Chen Si strode toward Wang Guanghu, but Bai Gu stepped forward, blocking his path.

Chen Si's face darkened as he turned to look at Yue Zhong. "Yue Zhong, what do you mean by this?"

Yue Zhong replied indifferently, "Nothing much. You can only leave my side after Brother Hu lets us go."

Wang Guanghu glanced at Yue Zhong and smiled. "Chen Si, you can stay with Brother Yue Zhong for now."

Chen Si nodded and stood beside Yue Zhong. "Yes, Brother Hu!"

Yue Zhong said, "Brother Hu, I'll have my people move the supplies for you now."

Wang Guanghu waved his hand. "No rush. Our vehicles can't carry that much. Why don't you come back to Changguang Village with me? Let me properly host you. Yue Zhong, I admire your strength, and I hope we can become friends. You wouldn't refuse me this favor, would you?"

Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, we'll go with you. But Brother Hu, let me make it clear—we're heading to the Longhai City base, so we can only stay at your place for one day at most."

Wang Guanghu laughed heartily. "No problem! You're my good friend, of course you're free to come and go as you please."

Four Humvees and two farm tractors escorted the two Dongfeng trucks, surrounded by twenty-six armed men, as they slowly made their way to a small village.

The village wasn't far from the main highway and was quite small, with only about fifty households.

At the village entrance, two armed men with Type 81 rifles sat idly by.

Outside the village, a dozen children, aged eight to thirteen, were digging for wild vegetables in the fields. Covered in mud, they looked like little mud monkeys.

"Brother Hu!"

"Brother Hu!"

As the vehicles entered the village and stopped in a square, six armed men with Type 81 rifles gathered around Wang Guanghu, greeting him with smiles.

Wang Guanghu turned to Yue Zhong with a smile. "Brother Yue Zhong, have your people come down too."

To show his sincerity, Wang Guanghu had personally come to Yue Zhong's side to reassure him.

"Everyone, come down!" Yue Zhong called out to the people in the Dongfeng trucks.

Only then did the people in the trucks step out.

"Such pretty girls!"

"So hot! So fresh!"

"That girl has such long legs. She must be amazing in bed!"

"..."

As the women stepped out of the Dongfeng trucks, the armed men's eyes gleamed with lust. They shamelessly commented on the women, making them feel extremely uneasy.

A scrawny armed man approached Wang Guanghu, flattering him. "Brother Hu, you're amazing! You always bring back such good stuff. The guys are going to have a great time!"

A tall, thin armed man also chimed in, his eyes constantly wandering over Yuan Ying's ample chest, as if he wanted to tear her clothes off. "Yeah, Brother Hu! With so many good ones, you've got to save some for the rest of us to enjoy!"

Yuan Ying, Wang Qian, Zhang Xin, and Su Ruxue were all stunning, elegant beauties. Chen Yao looked like a princess, while Ji Qingwu was a strikingly handsome and heroic beauty. Such high-quality women were rare, and the armed men couldn't help but drool over them.

Wang Guanghu frowned and barked, "Quiet down!"

At his command, the armed men immediately fell silent.

Wang Guanghu said sternly, "This is Brother Yue Zhong, a good friend I've recently made. These women belong to Yue Zhong, and they're not for you. Now, get back to work! Gouzi, take a few men and unload half of the supplies from the truck. Blackface, go arrange a good meal for Brother Yue Zhong."

Hearing that the beautiful women were off-limits, the armed men left in disappointment.

The women finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Guanghu smiled and gestured to Yue Zhong. "Brother, this way!"

Yue Zhong nodded and followed Wang Guanghu.

The group followed Wang Guanghu to the most impressive small villa in the village.

After entering the villa and taking their seats, Wang Guanghu glanced at Chi Yang and Wang Shuang beside Yue Zhong and asked, "Yue Zhong, who are these two brothers?"

Yue Zhong introduced them. "This is Chi Yang, and this is Wang Shuang."

Wang Guanghu smiled warmly at them. "Nice to meet you."

Chi Yang responded indifferently, "Hello."

Wang Shuang, feeling nervous, said, "Hello, Brother Hu!"

Wang Guanghu, the leader of a force with over forty armed men, exuded an imposing presence that put immense pressure on Wang Shuang.

Wang Guanghu pointed to the three men beside him and introduced them to Yue Zhong. "Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Xiang, this is Lei Zhen, and this is Chen Yan. They're my closest brothers."

Zhang Xiang was a burly man, standing at 1.8 meters tall, with a fierce expression and a thick beard that made him look intimidating. Lei Zhen was a towering figure, standing at 2 meters tall, with a bear-like build and calloused hands, clearly a martial artist. Chen Yan, on the other hand, was a young man with glasses who looked very scholarly.

Zhang Xiang, Lei Zhen, and Chen Yan were Wang Guanghu's most trusted men and the second most powerful figures in Changguang Village after Wang Guanghu himself.

Yue Zhong greeted them. "Nice to meet you."

Zhang Xiang looked at Yue Zhong, his eyes filled with challenge and arrogance. "So you're Yue Zhong! I heard from Brother Hu that you're quite skilled. How about we have a little match?"

Zhang Xiang was the second strongest under Wang Guanghu, only surpassed by Lei Zhen. This was the first time he had seen Wang Guanghu treat someone with such hospitality, and it filled him with jealousy. He feared that Yue Zhong might threaten his position.

Wang Guanghu's face darkened. "Zhang Xiang! Yue Zhong is my honored guest and friend. Don't cause trouble!"

Zhang Xiang stared directly at Wang Guanghu and said loudly, "Brother Hu, I know you value him and want him to join us. You're the boss, and we'll follow your orders. But if you want me to respect him, he'll have to beat me first."

Chi Yang coldly glanced at Zhang Xiang. "You're not worthy of fighting Yue Zhong. I'll take you on."

Zhang Xiang looked at Chi Yang's slender frame and laughed in anger. "Well, well, well! Times have really changed. Even small fry are so arrogant now. Yue Zhong, I'm warning you, my fists are heavy. If you don't step up yourself and your brother gets hurt, don't blame me."
