Chapter 651 Dying Is Still Worth It


    "Got it," Jiang Ning didn''t say too much and hung up.


    He looked at the urn in Brother Gou''s hands and felt terrible inside. 18 was the number he was


    given, but his real name was Liu Hui.


    After finding out about Number 18''s family background, Jiang Ning med himself even more.


    It wasn''t the first time he was going through something like this. All the faces of hisrades from


    before and all those who sacrificed their lives in front of his very eyes seemed to appear one by one


    in front of him.


    They had sacrificed themselves but they didn''t even have the chance to make a name for


    themselves, becaue they were people who walked in the darkness to make the world a brighter


    ce.


    There was no such thing as peaceful days. Things were peaceful only because someone had taken


    on the unrest in the


    darkness.


    Jiang Ning knew that this path they were on would definitely lead them to death.


    Even he knew this very early on.


    But every time he went through the passing on of someone else, he would still be sad. But as long


    as he held this position, then he was not allowed to reveal any sadness on his face.


    "Number 18 said that he didn''t dare to go home because he was afraid that his parents would be


    disappointed, he was afraid that others would say he was involved in illegal activity, and say that he


    was going to be a gangster for life, the kind of person who just barely scraped a meal together and


    waited to die, the kind of person with no pride nor dignity..."


    Brother Gou gently rubbed his hand against Number 18''s urn andughed bitterly. "Everyone


    always looked down on people like us. They felt that we were all trash, and our lives were a mistake


    in the first ce."


    "But during this period of time, we found our own path and we know that we can do many things


    and we can protect many people too."


    Brother Gou''s eyes were getting teary. "They would also protect us in return, they would trust us


    and respect us too."


    This was how all the wolves really felt deep inside their hearts.


    Before following Jiang Ning, they would only incur the wrath of others, be looked down upon, hated


    and even cursed by others.


    But now they enjoyed being respected by others, and they also knew very well that their shoulders


    now carried something called responsibility.


    They had something that they had to protect even if it cost them their lives!


    "So Big Boss, don''t me yourself. Number 18 said before that being able to follow you was the


    best thing that happened to him, so even dying is worth


    it."


    Jiang Ning didn''t say anything.


    Even though he had already told the wolves early on that choosing this path meant that they would


    constantly walk in the narrow space between life and death. But when the day came when the path


    really led to death, Jiang Ning was still worried that the wolves might not be able to hold up.


    Because they weren''t warriors to begin with.


    But now it seemed like they were the men with true courage and lived honorably.


    "Let''s send Number 18 home."


    Number 18''s hometown was a farming vige three hours away from Donghai by car.


    It was a very poor vige, so for the sake of survival, many children never made it to high school


    and had to work to share the burden.


    There were even fewer who had the chance to go to university and use this education to change


    their fates.


    Number 18, or Liu Hui, came from an extremely poor family. His mother had lost her sight when he


    was a child and couldn''t see anything. His entire family relied on his father, Liu Yang, to be the sole


    breadwinner.


    Even though Number 18 did fairly well in school, he chose to leave home for the city when he was


    15 so as to share his father''s burden.


    He had worked hard and did several odd jobs. But because he was considered rough and


    uneducated, he was always bullied and looked down upon.

    Eventually he entered the illegal circle and found his ce there. He finally managed to earn


    enough money to send back home, but ended up suffering the gossip and criticism of others for


    many years as a result.


    Number 18 didn''t want his family to suffer because of him, so he never went back all these years.


    He only sent almost all the money he had to them every month.


    At Number 18''s house.


    His father, Liu Yang, was helping his wife to sit in thepound for some sunshine.


    There was arge bamboo mat on one side where they ced the pumpkin slices they prepared


    the day before to dry.


    "After you''re done with drying the pumpkins, send some over to Hui, he''s always loved eating


    them." Number 18''s mother sat on the chair. There was a smile on her face even though she


    seemed to be scolding him. "He hasn''te back in so long. Have you asked him when he''s


    coming back?"


    "He''s busy at work and probably can''t get away. He''lle back when he has time, why do you


    keep asking?”


    Liu Yang just gave her a generic answer and didn''t want to borate.


    His son hadn''t called in more than a month. Some of the vigers said that his son had probably


    been arrested, but he didn''t believe it.


    Even if his son was poorly educated and couldn''t do much, he was a good boy and would never do


    anything to hurt others!


    "Busy at work?" a voice suddenly rang out. "Liu Yang, don''t lie to your wife anymore. Everyone in


    the vige knows that Liu Hui is involved with those gangsters and they don''t care for human lives!"
