Chapter 357 Iron Brother's News
- Ye Tian and Long Xiao were discussing their participation in an underground gambling match. Ye Tian expressed his dissatisfaction with the small percentage of winnings, stating that it was too little. Long Xiao countered by saying that it was actually a decent amount considering the number of matches they could play in one night. Ye Tian then questioned whether the higher-ups were aware of this activity, to which Long Xiao replied that they turned a blind eye to it.
- After their conversation, Ye Tian entered a bedroom to make a phone call to Lin Ziyi. He lied about his whereabouts, claiming to be attending an academic exchange conference in Longcheng. Lin Ziyi took this opportunity to ask Ye Tian to visit his old friend, Li Zhixuan, who was known as his "iron brother" from their school days. Ye Tian agreed and promised to visit Li Zhixuan after the conference.
- Ye Tian reminisced about his friendship with Li Zhixuan, who had been his loyal companion since elementary school. Li Zhixuan was often bullied due to his frailty, but Ye Tian always came to his aid. They remained close throughout middle school and high school. However, they lost contact when Li Zhixuan's father went abroad during their sophomore year in high school.
