Chapter 215
At that moment, a greasy-haired young man who wore a security guard’s uniform and looked street-
smart called out to Chu Feng and jogged over. After that, he looked at him and Zhou Ying up and
down in shock.
“Zhou Ying? It really is you two! Tsk tsk, ten years flew by. You’ve gotten quite strong.” The man
grinned before assessing Chu Feng with his almond-shaped eyes, then scoffing internally when he
realized Chu Feng’s entire outfit wasn’t even worth two hundred in total.
Dressing like this after ten years? Useless! He was about to p Chu Feng on the shoulder when
thetter simply sidestepped him.

“And you are?” Chu Feng asked the slightly annoyed man before him.
“I’m Wang Erzhu. We’re childhood friends and neighbors!” The man cried out, “We were in the army
together ten years ago, remember? We’re childhood friends and brothers in arms! We entrusted our
lives to one another!”
After some thinking, Chu Feng remembered who Wang Erzhu was and he let out a snort.
Wang Erzhu did sign up for the army with him, but he was too weak-willed and cunning for the job.
He’d barelysted the three-month recruit training period before he deserted, and that got him
kicked out of the army.
Childhood friends? Technically, yes. But to call him brother in arms? He did nothing to deserve the
title. But judging by his looks, he turned out fine.
Chu Feng nced at the head guard’s nametag on Wang Erzhu’s uniform.
After all, Mount Haitang’s Vi Area was the most luxurious residential neighborhood in all of
Jiangling and that luxury extended to its estate department as well; even the lowliest security guard
there had a monthly sry of twenty to thirty thousand, let alone the head guard with over two
dozen men under hismand. As the head guard and part of the estate management, Wang
Erzhu must have an annual sry of at least a million. That would easily make him a gold-cor
worker.
Zhou Ying eximed happily upon recognizing him, “Zhu! You’re Zhu!”
“Oh ho, you remember now? Chu Feng, how is it that you’re still this ipetent after so many
years, but your arrogance has somehow skyrocketed? Have you forgotten your own brother in
arms? How will you ever find a ce in society with this ignorance of socialworking?” Wang
Erzhu lectured him, then smugly handed over a cigarette with a deliberate flick of his wrist to show
off the ten-thousand-dor gold Rolex he wore. “Soft pack Chunghwa cigarettes. Never tried it, I
assume? Come on, don’t be shy. I’ve got plenty for us both,” he bragged.
Chu Feng sped his hands behind his back and simply nced at him, “I’m afraid you’re
mistaken. I have no deserter friends.”
Wang Erzhu’s hand that was passing Chu Feng the cigarette froze in midair, his previously glowing
face turning red with embarrassment. There was a saying that went as such, ‘Hit the man, but avoid
his face; curse the man, but avoid his ws.’ It was an unspoken rule in socializing, one that most
people followed to the letter. It was especially true for Wang Erzhu, who was still in the middle of
boasting his status and wealth in front of a poor man like Chu Feng and showing off in front of the
beautiful Zhou Ying.
Chu Feng, apparently, was not like most people. The word ‘deserter’, which he’d used to unmask
Wang Erzhu so mercilessly, felt like a loud p to his face. That was basically like hitting his face
and exposing his w at the same time! Wang Erzhu’s hand remained frozen in mid-air, his
expression a mix of embarrassment and anger.
“Don’t say that, Chu Feng.” Wang Erzhu rubbed his hands together. He snorted, then with an
annoyed look on his face, said, “I was just physically unfit for the recruits’ training at the time and
got an early discharge. ‘Deserter’ is such a harsh word. Besides,” he ranted, “the training conditions
were hell! We were supposed to wake earlier than the rooster, sleepter than the dogs, eat like
pigs and work like bulls! Who the heck trains like this? That life was not fit to be lived at all? No one
could have survived that hellish training, am I wrong?”
