love on the turquoise land

Chapter 53

Yan Tuo returned with various breakfast items, indeed winning the favor of many. Many people here only knew him as the boss but had never interacted with him. Suddenly receiving attention, they couldn't help but feel pleased, some even felt pleasantly surprised.

Even the breakfast in their hands seemed particularly sweet.

He specifically checked on the person who was taken into the operating room late last night. That person's name was Tian Xiang, in his early twenties. Because he was unable to move due to a gunshot wound, Xiong Hei instructed him to recover on the spot, saying his salary would continue, and he could return to his position once he recovered.

Yan Tuo carried the meal bag over, and Lu Xian, who was brushing his teeth, glanced at him and shouted vaguely, "Hey, you can't let patients eat randomly, especially avoiding spicy food now."

Yan Tuo replied, "I understand this common knowledge. Beef and egg drop soup, replenishing protein."

Lu Xian didn't chirp anymore, and hearing the movement, Tian Xiang quickly pressed the switch of the electric hospital bed to assist in getting up, then pulled out a small meal tray, full of gratitude.

Bosses are indeed of high quality. So approachable, even thoughtful about such trivial matters like meals. Xiong Hei, with his irritable temper, always kicking and beating people, is nothing but a pawn in his whole life.

Yan Tuo opened the meal bag, took out the porridge box, opened the lid, placed a spoonful on the tray, and said, "Can you eat by yourself?"

Tian Xiang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes."

While speaking, he scooped a spoonful into his mouth, praising it before even tasting it, "So delicious."

Yan Tuo smiled and sat down on the stool beside the bed, "Xiong Ge told me about yesterday's incident. You've worked hard."

Tian Xiang replied anxiously, "Not hard, not hard. I got paid. It's Xiong Ge who values me and gives me opportunities."

Yan Tuo didn't immediately respond.

Xiong Hei, although one might think he's just a big and brainless guy, however he doesn't mind spending money and values loyalty, therefore he has gathered a group of tough and brave little brothers around him. These people may not have connections with gangs or underworld figures, but they are just as troublesome.

Yan Tuo had drawn a structural diagram for Lin Xirou and her group. The core was the gang led by Lin Xirou, the number of which was unknown, but he suspected that the Excel spreadsheet Lin Ling had stolen recorded the distribution of gang members. The numbering was incomplete, currently progressing to number 017, Zhu Changyi. These people, apart from Xiong Hei, were scattered all over, in various social strata and industries, living like ordinary people.

The inner circle consisted of traitors, whom Nie Jiuluo described as inexplicable and eerie defectors. They had never been caught, never lost their sanity, and seemed normal in every aspect, but they were willing to serve the gang loyally to the death. Based on this, his father, Yan Heshan, was one of these traitors, albeit not as traitorous as others.

The list of traitors was completely blank, and precisely because of this blankness, he kept his distance from everyone around him, not daring to trust anyone completely, always skeptical — whereas, ironically, he found strangers more approachable.

The outer circle consisted of people like Tian Xiang, seemingly ordinary but capable of extreme ruthlessness, even making ghosts yield. The number and composition of this group were unknown.

When he finished drawing the diagram, Yan Tuo felt particularly lonely, like a tiny ant trying to pull down a hot air balloon by force, facing a vast and mysterious organization alone.
