Chapter 247 — Going Up the Mountain to Train

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking. I've decided to go back and talk to him about it!" Zhong Yongliang made no attempt to hide it. "Nai Pao has been with me for years. I know what kind of man he is, and especially after this time, when we helped his family through their crisis, if I ask him to go, there shouldn't be any problem!"
"All right, then go back and talk to him!" Zhong Fabai was tempted as well. If his son could have a master at the peak of the late Yellow Rank or even stronger at his side, then the Zhong family in Songshan City would no longer have to live at the mercy of the Jin family, nor would he have to be checked at every turn by his own brother-in-law.
By then, with a true master in the Zhong family, they would have a voice in high society. At this thought, Zhong Fabai was suddenly filled with anticipation. Come to think of it, his son had done one clever thing after all, winning over the hearts of his men and cultivating an utterly devoted confidant!
If Black Panther was his, Zhong Fabai's, trusted man, then Zhang Naipao was Zhong Yongliang's trusted man! If Black Panther had not been his confidant, he would never have told him so many secrets.
After obtaining the map to Chunxing Mountain, Zhong Fabai sent Zhong Yongliang back to school, leaving only the lawyer to work on reducing Black Panther's sentence. But Black Panther had injured police officers and then escaped, so presumably his punishment would not be light.
On the way to see Brother Black Panther, Zhong Yongliang had worn a gloomy face, but on the way back to school, his face was full of joy and excitement! As long as they did as Brother Black Panther had said and sent Zhang Naipao up the mountain to train, once his training was complete, there would be nothing to fear from Wei Zhao. Then they could finish Wei Zhao off with a single lethal strike. Ha, what a satisfying thing that would be!
Just thinking about it was thrilling! Helping Zhang Naipao's family was the smartest thing he had ever done! Before, Zhong Yongliang had been reluctant to help Zhang Naipao, afraid he would get nothing in return. But now, it was more than worth it!
The moment he got back to school, Zhong Yongliang called Zhang Naipao outside the classroom. "Nai Pao, come out with me. I have something to talk to you about!"
"Brother Liang!" Zhang Naipao had grown ever more respectful toward Zhong Yongliang lately. Zhong Yongliang had not only given his family seven hundred thousand to pay off their debts, but had given an extra three hundred thousand to let his father restart his business, and Zhang Naipao was deeply grateful for it!
If it had not been for Zhong Yongliang, his family would have been finished. His father might have been driven to suicide, his younger brother might have been forced to sell a kidney, and could he and his mother have gone on living?
But Zhong Yongliang had helped his family change everything, so Zhang Naipao thanked his leader from the bottom of his heart. He felt he had truly not followed Zhong Yongliang in vain.
As soon as Zhong Yongliang called him, he hurried after him out of the classroom. "Brother Liang, what did you want me for?"
"Paozi, walk with me!" Zhong Yongliang did not state his purpose directly, but led Zhang Naipao toward the restrooms.
By now, the first afternoon class was about to begin. The restrooms in the senior-year hallway were basically empty, except for a few delinquents smoking in the boys' room.
Seeing people inside, Zhong Yongliang frowned. Zhang Naipao immediately took the hint and swaggered in with his shoulders squared. "Clear out, clear out, everybody out. Brother Liang needs to use the toilet!"
