Chapter 977: The Tragic Boss

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Long Fang was reluctant to see Zhou Hengyang leave.

Despite being feared as a tyrant in the northwest, Long Fang wasn’t as intimidating as rumours suggested. However, few dared to befriend him due to his intimidating aura.

For Zhou Hengyang, leaving Long Fang’s company was tiresome. He found Long Fang’s demeanour vexing—sometimes distant, sometimes familiar. Perhaps it was because no one dared to engage with him in the past, but Zhou Hengyang found the interaction stifling.

It feels like Long Fang is talking a bit too much these days.

Feeling Long Fang’s chatter was becoming unbearable, Zhou Hengyang’s cold gaze betrayed an underlying tension he struggled to suppress. He flipped the magazine over his lap and closed his eyes to rest.

As the magazine turned, Long Fang glanced at the cover character, teasing, “Been admiring that beauty for long? Want me to help you make a move?”

Liu Chun, exasperated, covered his face, preferring not to intervene.

He knew Zhou Hengyang wasn’t feeling great. The instant he laid eyes on the magazine, he abandoned everything and rushed back.

Liu Chun sympathized with his good brother. The more reserved Zhou Hengyang appeared the more he cared. In any case, no one dared to provoke them.

He might as well let Long Fang keep stoking the fire! Only Long Fang wouldn’t get beaten for speaking up.

Suddenly, Zhou Hengyang’s eyes snapped open, his sharp gaze sweeping the interior, chilling the air. The occupants exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak.

In the back row, the others were as shocked as Liu Chun, fearing Zhou Hengyang might retaliate against Long Fang.

Unbeknownst to them, rumours circulated about Boss’s newfound fondness for Zhou Hengyang, fueling speculation about their relationship. The biggest mystery was that ever since the boss became brothers with Zhou, he’s changed completely. He talks more to him in a day than he did in a month before. Boss’s increased attention to Zhou seemed peculiar, causing whispers among the staff.

EEveryone just imagines it in their heads but doesn’t dare to say it out loud.

Under normal circumstances, anyone in Long Fang’s place would be sweating profusely and trembling now. Yet, Long Fang grinned arrogantly, declaring his loyalty to Zhou Hengyang.

Long Fang hadn’t forgotten Zhou Hengyang’s hasty return. If not for their current partnership, he might have followed suit.

Liu Chun coughed, drawing attention, prompting Long Fang to inquire about his well-being.

Long Fang glanced at Liu Chun through the rearview mirror. “Fourth boss, why are you coughing?”

Liu Chun was at a loss. How did he become the fourth boss?

“No, am I not the third boss? When did I become the fourth boss?” Liu Chun couldn’t help but complain. He had already been demoted a few months ago, all thanks to that shameless Zhou Hengguang, who squeezed him out of the position of the second boss as soon as he arrived.

Long Fang’s grin widened as he claimed the title of Changhe’s second boss.

Liu Chun couldn’t help but jest, suggesting Long Fang challenge their second boss for the position.

The idea of two beasts battling excited Liu Chun. Regardless of the outcome, he was resigned to being demoted to the fourth boss.

Long Fang’s silence spoke volumes—he looked forward to challenging the second boss in the provincial capital, confident of his victory.
