Dai Zhiqiang went into Ye Wang's building with a stern expression and wide stride. Unlike before, nobody dared to stop him as he mentioned the purpose of his arrival.
The news about how Boss Ye–an infamous leader of an underworld group–hired this young man directly had spread at lightning speed. Nowadays, when they mentioned Dai Zhiqiang, there were only two kinds of expressions people would use, either awe or spiteful, out of jealousy.
At first, everyone looked down on this newcomer because of his young age. However, he quickly proved everyone wrong by defeating most of the older and snobbish Ye Wang's guardsmen in a hand-to-hand fight.
Although the fight was fierce, Dai Zhiqiang proved his worth and gained recognition from Boss Ye and a few members. He actually didn't care about what people would think about him, as long as he could get easy money by working with these people.
Thankfully, his fighting skill, which he accidentally acquired during his delinquent days, was helpful in this situation.
It all started when he helped a boy who was almost run over by a car one day. That kid was still in the kindergarten, but he wandered around the street like a lost kid. The kid was talking to a shady man then, so he didn't waste any time and chased away that man from the kid.
Dai Zhiqiang wasn't that heartless to leave an unguarded child alone without his guardian on the street, so he brought him back to his kindergarten.
Who would have guessed that kid was actually the grandson and the sole heir of Ye Groups, which was famous for their host/hostess club business in S city? It wasn't a secret this group had several casinos built in other countries, and various kinds of people with shady backgrounds kept coming and going out of their places.
However, no one actually knew that this group also specialized in information trade, which was prone to enemy attacks who wanted to extort information out of them.
The moment Dai Zhiqiang met with the boss and received his business card, it felt like a vine was extended to him in the most unexpected way.
Boss Ye was a simple businessman who believed in the give and takes rule, so he left Dai Zhiqiang with a promise that he could call him for help anytime, as repayment for helping his grandson.
That was the reason Dai Zhiqiang could stand here right now.
"Brother Zhi, you don't use that color there!"
Dai Zhiqiang looked down at the boy sitting beside him. The boy was wearing a cute sailor-theme outfit, with neatly cut hair and plump cheeks. He would grab a crayon with his chubby fingers and make a scribble on the paper, but then he would rub the paper with his hand, dirtying his palm with various colors.
Currently, the boy was puffing his cheeks, dissatisfied at him because he just used a green crayon to draw. "What do you mean, Little Zhong? For grass, green is correct, right?"
"No, it isn't! That color is too boring. Use this one instead." Ye Zhong grabbed a crayon with bright color and shoved it to Dai Zhiqiang's hand.
"But this is a pink color. The grass is supposed to be green, not pink," Dai Zhiqiang said again, strangely feeling competitive.
"Brother Zhi, you always talk back like my friend's dad to my teacher."
"I'm just telling you the correct color. You will learn soon enough there is a color for everything."
Ye Zhong shook his head while moving his head wildly. "I don't wanna, I don't want that ugly color!"
Dai Zhiqiang let out an amused snort before finally giving up. When he was with Ye Zhong, it felt like he returned to his childhood when he used to accompany his brother playing with his crayon and art supplies. It was a fond memory for him.
"Alright, don't be mad," he said as he poked the boy's plump cheeks with his index finger. It always felt squishy to touch. "I'll use whatever color you want me, so don't throw a tantrum anymore. Boys are uncool if they do that."
Ye Zhong immediately stopped whining and looked up at him curiously, "If I stop, then will I become cool like Brother Zhi?"
"You want to become like me? Your grandfather will cry if he heard this."
"I don't want to be like Grandpa. He is old and ugly. Brother Zhi is strong and cool. I want to be like Brother Zhi in the future!"
"Well, I'm glad you think that way." Dai Zhiqiang patted Ye Zhong on the head as the latter grinned widely at him.
"Brother Zhi was so strong when you fought with the bad guys. You are like a superhero!" Ye Zhong's eyes sparkled with a thousand stars while looking at him with admiration.
This boy reminded Dai Zhiqiang of his brother when they were little. His brother would often cry but said he would be like him in the future in a determined voice.
He didn't know if Dai Shenqiang would still remember that, though. Dai Zhiqiang took this job to help his family situation, but he didn't expect he would truly grow fond of this little boy.
"Cough! So you like Zhiqiang more than Grandpa? Little Zhong, you are hurting Grandpa's heart."
Dai Zhiqiang turned his head to find an old man wearing a white-striped black suit came into the room with walking sticks in his hand. This man was Ye Huizhong, the leader and founder of the Ye Groups, also the one commonly known as Boss Ye. He was the only family member of Ye Zhong, and a doting grandfather towards his grandson.
Although he looked old with gray hairs on his head, his tall and big stature made him look like a giant bear. Not to mention the burn scars worming from the left side of his neck to the left side of his face made his appearance look even scarier.
Dai Zhiqiang heard from the senior member that Boss Ye was once caught in an accident that caused him to get that burn mark, which cost him his left ear forever. As for the details of the accident, the senior member told him not to pry, so he left it just like that. It wasn't like Dai Zhiqiang was very curious about it, anyway.
Boss Ye had a significant reputation in the underworld as an information seller, which potentially could threaten the balance between the other groups. That was why the building of Ye Family's house always had guardsmen with fire guns patrolling everywhere, ready to attack anytime an enemy came.
Dai Zhiqiang was among those guardsmen, too, particularly a special one the boss appointed to guard his dearest grandson.
