The Xiang family soon departed, and A Bao also dispersed the security guards, notifying the entertainment city manager to continue operations.
Yang Jian and the others returned to the third-floor duty room. Li Chunlin had already returned from the hospital, with a bandaged hand, and was on duty in front of the monitoring screens.
"Chunlin, you performed well this time. This hundred thousand yuan is a reward for you."
Yang Jian took out a hundred thousand from the five million cash and placed it in front of Li Chunlin.
Li Chunlin was stunned. "Brother Jian, I didn't do anything, why are you giving me so much money?"
"When you were dealing with the Xiang family's bodyguards, you knew you were outmatched but still charged forward. For that courage alone, you deserve this reward. Take it. You're injured, so rest for a few months."
"Brother Yang, I'm fine. Although my hand is injured, I can still work."
"Alright, then stay in the duty room when you have nothing else to do. Luo Peng, your performance was also good. I'm rewarding you with fifty thousand."
Having received so much money, Yang Jian first needed to take care of his brothers. He took out another fifty thousand and handed it to Luo Peng.
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
Since it was a reward, Luo Peng didn't refuse.
Yang Jian looked at the other team members. "Everyone gets a share today. You eight will each receive twenty thousand. Remember, in the future, when there's trouble, charge forward like Chunlin and Luo Peng. I won't mistreat any of you."
"Thank you, General Manager Yang."
Five of these eight people were A Bao's men, and they were now won over by Yang Jian's generosity. They were getting money without doing anything, a treatment they had never received before. From now on, they would follow Brother Yang closely and work hard.
Afterward, Yang Jian gave A Feng, A Nan, and Jun Jun fifty thousand each, and kept fifty thousand for himself. It was better to take the money than not, but taking too much wouldn't be good.
After distributing the money, Yang Jian called A Bao up using the walkie-talkie and placed a hundred thousand yuan in his hand.
"Brother Bao, all the brothers in the casino security department contributed today, so everyone got a share of the money. This is your share. Take the rest to Brother Zheng and let him decide how to compensate Miss Meng."
"You're giving me this much? I should take less. It won't be good if Master finds out."
A Bao felt a little guilty seeing that everyone else had less money than him.
"It's alright. If you hadn't stopped Xiang Fei's men today, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. One hundred thousand yuan isn't much, don't worry. Brother Zheng won't say anything. I made the decision on this matter."
"Alright then, I'll head down now."
A Bao went downstairs with the remaining four million-plus, as Bai Zheng had already returned and was waiting for him in his second-floor office.
"Master, Little Yang distributed six hundred and ten thousand yuan to the brothers in the casino security department. He asked you to handle the rest."
A Bao placed two bags of cash on Bai Zheng's desk.
Bai Zheng glanced at them and said, "This Little Yang really made the Xiang family bleed. Tell me the details of what happened."
He had been at the hospital until A Bao informed him that Xiang Fei had left, and only then did he return. He didn't know the specifics.
A Bao dared not hide anything, recounting all the details of their conversation.
"This Little Yang has, in the end, pulled me into this mess. But it's nothing. The incident happened on my turf, and no matter how much I try to shirk responsibility, the Xiang family won't let it go. These rich second-generation heirs should be taught a lesson."
Bai Zheng didn't seem too angry upon hearing that Yang Jian had passed the responsibility to him.
"Master, I'm afraid the Xiang family will retaliate against you."
"It's fine. Brother Song will issue a warning to the Xiang family. Besides, I'm not a eggplant that shrivels up. Do you really think I'm afraid of the Xiang family?"
"That's true. The Xiang family also has businesses in Dongjiang, so they won't dare to openly confront us. However, Little Yang was too arrogant today, he insulted Xiang Nan extremely. The Xiang family will never let him off."
"Don't worry, Little Yang is not a reckless person. Everything he did today was carefully considered. Moreover, he is battle-hardened and very experienced. Ordinary assassins would find it difficult to harm him."
A Bao nodded. "Indeed, I saw A Feng and Jun Jun in action today. Their baton attacks were terrifying. I admit that even with a weapon, I wouldn't be their match. I need to discuss with Little Yang sometime about learning this baton technique."
"Is that so? Yang Fan also said that he couldn't defeat Yang Jian even with a weapon. You should learn from him more. Deposit this money into Meng Meiyun's account. She suffered such great harm this time, and this money is enough to compensate her."
"Okay."
A Bao picked up the money bags and prepared to leave.
Bai Zheng suddenly called him back. "Go to my garage later and bring that armored car over. Use it as a vehicle for Little Yang. As you said, the Xiang family wouldn't dare to attack me, but they definitely won't let Little Yang off. Ordinary assassinations won't easily harm Little Yang, but if firearms are used, Little Yang would be in danger."
"That's right. With an armored car, Little Yang will be safe when commuting. But don't you need it, Master?"
"I don't. I have many bodyguards around me, unlike Little Yang who commutes alone."
After this incident, Bai Zheng saw Yang Jian's value and potential and began to take him seriously.
A Bao was very efficient. After depositing the money for Meng Meiyun, he immediately went to retrieve the armored car.
"Little Yang, Master wants you to drive a different car. This is an armored vehicle to guard against retaliation from the Xiang family. Give me the keys to your Cayenne."
In the duty room, A Bao handed the keys to the Volvo armored car to Yang Jian with a smile.
Yang Jian was shocked. "An armored car? Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Master said you've completely offended the Xiang family, and they will definitely retaliate. Driving an armored car to and from work can ensure your safety."
"How much does this car cost?"
"It should be over eight million. I'm not sure of the exact price. This car was previously used by Master to pick up and drop off his children. After his two children went abroad, it's been parked in the garage, and he rarely uses it himself."
"Wow, it's that expensive? Then I won't be polite."
Yang Jian took the keys, feeling a little touched. It meant that Bai Zheng was truly starting to recognize him. Before, he might have wanted to use him as cannon fodder, but now he should be considered a true brother.
When it was time to get off work, Yang Jian couldn't wait to try out the armored car. He said goodbye to A Nan and the others and headed downstairs.
The armored car was parked behind the entertainment city. Half of this area was a dedicated channel and parking lot for internal staff, and outsiders could not enter.
The black Volvo armored car didn't look much different from ordinary vehicles from the outside. Those who didn't know cars wouldn't be able to tell it was a luxury car worth millions, and an armored one at that.
The driving experience wasn't particularly special. The chassis was very stable, and the acceleration was fast. Other than that, the feeling was not much different from the Cayenne.
Yang Jian quickly lost interest and drove to Phoenix Street to pick up Dai Mengmeng from work, and then they would visit Meng Meiyun at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital together.
He still didn't know Meng Meiyun's condition. It was only right and proper for him to go and see her. However, to avoid being suspected by Bai Zheng, it was necessary to bring Dai Mengmeng along, and in the future, he would try to avoid being alone with Meng Meiyun.
