"Click."
Jiang Cheng carefully turned the key, unlocking the door, cautious not to alert anyone nearby.
As soon as the door opened, he slipped inside, closing the main door behind him. He peered through the gap, checking the surroundings before securing the door.
"Phew..."
Immediately, he exhaled heavily.
On his way back, he constantly worried about running into someone. Upon reaching home, he was extra vigilant, and fortunately, everything went smoothly, ensuring a safe arrival.
A voice in his mind kept urging him to hurry up and count the money.
But to count the money, he needed to light a candle, as it was late, and any light inside the room might raise suspicions.
As the saying goes, "A small mistake can ruin a grand plan."
After enduring this night, he could count the money early tomorrow morning; it wouldn't be too late, after all, the money won't run away on its own.
He unzipped the bag, took out the briefcase, and hid it inside his clothes.
Then, he began practicing his foundation training.
On one hand, strength was the fundamental focus, and cultivation couldn't be interrupted. On the other hand, returning to his usual state also helped calm his mind.
According to his current progress, two hours of foundation training daily, and in five to six days, he could reach a proficient level in this skill.
Then, he could learn martial arts from Zhao Xiangyu, although it was just ordinary martial arts, not some secret technique, but it could still strengthen his body.
For the double sticks, originally, from proficient to mastery, only required a thousand experience points. Now, from mastery to perfection, he needed three thousand points.
If it was just a matter of increasing experience points, it wouldn't be too bad, but the key issue was that the rate of experience point gain would also decrease.
When he was at the proficient level, practicing with Zeng Shixu, he could gain over a hundred experience points.
Now, if he practiced with Zeng Shixu again, he might only gain fifty points, which was still considered good.
If he practiced with Lin Quan Liang and the others, in half an hour, he might only gain ten to twenty points...
"Calculating this way, to reach perfection in double sticks, at least half a month is needed." Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
If it was the cultivation of secret arts, the time required would likely be even longer.
However, on second thought, when could he even come into contact with secret arts?
The martial arts hall master couldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
Jiang Cheng practiced foundation training while pondering.
Perhaps, Lin Quan Liang and the others were a path?
Building a good relationship with them seemed better than with Zhao Xiangyu and the others. Once the relationship was established, perhaps he could find a way to learn secret arts.
After practicing for less than two hours, Jiang Cheng felt drowsiness creeping in, and his eagerness to count the money faded significantly.
After a quick wash, he fell asleep.
The next day, around four in the morning, the sky was still dark, and Jiang Cheng suddenly woke up.
He had a dream, dreaming of a thief breaking into his home, stealing the money hidden in his bag.
Opening his eyes, he looked around, and everything was still fine.
"Alright, time to count the money."
Jiang Cheng's face revealed a smile, and he quickly got up from bed, opened the wardrobe, took out the bag, sat by the table, and started counting the money.
Starting with the larger denominations, he hadn't checked carefully last night, and there were still quite a few thousand-yuan bills in the bag.
A total of eleven, which meant, just these thousand-yuan bills, amounted to eleven thousand yuan.
However, there was still a large amount of cash in the bag.
It took Jiang Cheng a while to finish counting, and including the previous thousand-yuan bills, the total was thirty-six thousand three hundred and thirty-two yuan!
Jiang Cheng gasped, taking a deep breath.
Indeed, there was nothing faster than robbery to make money.
Today was also a lucky day, as he happened to catch the members of the Wild Wolf Gang after they collected management fees. Those big bosses had likely handed in their shares, and the remaining money was probably for themselves.
Coincidentally, he encountered the troublemakers, Jiang Xiong and the others.
If it weren't for this, even if he encountered them on a regular day, he would probably only get a thousand or two thousand at most.
"Weibo's death won't be kept a secret. Even if the Wild Wolf Gang didn't know last night, they'll definitely find out today. So it's best not to touch this money. I'll continue living as I did these past few days, and wait for the heat to die down before making any moves."
Jiang Cheng put the money back into his bag.
With this money in hand, he felt more confident.
Even if his roasted sweet potato business was mediocre, he didn't have to worry about being unable to pay the membership fee.
"It's a pity, it's still too little. If there were a few hundred thousand, I could directly buy a house in the outer borough, and Grandma Chen Sao and the others wouldn't have to worry every time they stepped out."
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
After surveying his surroundings, he found a spot that wasn't easily noticeable and hid the bag.
After all, if this bag were to be stolen, he would truly be devastated.
Only after doing all this did Jiang Cheng start washing and cooking. When more people appeared outside, he opened the door and greeted them.
After finishing breakfast, he asked the two households from yesterday to watch his door again. Only then did Jiang Cheng head towards the martial arts gym.
As he walked, he heard voices coming from the neighboring house.
"Did you hear? The group led by Brother Bao, who came to collect management fees yesterday, is dead!"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but stop in his tracks and perk up his ears.
"What did you say? Who died?"
"It's that Wei Bao. The one who came to collect protection fees at the end of every month."
"Really? Is he dead?"
"Impossible. He's from the Wild Wolf Gang, and he has a whole gang under him. Who's so capable that they could kill them all?"
Doubts continued to arise.
Despite their inner desires for Wei Bao's death, fantasy was fantasy, and reality was reality.
"I heard that they're dead! It's in Jiang Xiong's courtyard. I heard the news early this morning and mustered the courage to take a peek. Oh my, it was terrifying! Two or three people were lying at the door, and when I looked into the courtyard, there were corpses everywhere!"
"Wait, what did you say earlier? You said it was in Jiang Xiong's courtyard?"
"Yeah, Jiang Xiong's people are also dead."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Am I lying to you? There were over ten dead bodies!"
"Then I want to go and see."
"I'll go too."
"Are you crazy? I heard someone already informed the Wild Wolf Gang. If you go now and bump into them, what will you do? They might be holding a grudge and looking for someone to vent their anger."
"That's true."
The group quickly calmed down.
"If they're really dead, it's a great blessing."
"Yeah, the Wild Wolf Gang has been bullying us for so long, especially Wei Bao. Yesterday, when he came to collect money, I don't know how many people he injured, and I heard he even killed someone. If he's really dead, it's like the heavens have opened their eyes."
"Jiang Xiong's people aren't any better. My second uncle's tricycle has been confiscated by them countless times. He had to borrow money to get it back. This time, he doesn't have the money to redeem it."
"Who's the hero who did this? He's so bold and capable."
"Maybe it was the Iron Fist Gang. I heard these two gangs have been fighting."
"Shh, keep your voices down. We don't want the Wild Wolf Gang to hear."
With this reminder, the voices inside the house became much quieter, making it hard to hear clearly.
Jiang Cheng's lips curled slightly, and he walked towards the front.
Regardless, he had helped the people by eliminating a menace last night.
However, after killing Wei Bao, there would soon be a Zhang or Li.
