Chapter 9 Dividing the Money
Liang Kun's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously avoided Ye Tian's gaze. He picked up his wine glass, took a big gulp, and his Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he said, "Don't worry, I know what's important. Heroin is so dangerous, I value my life and won't touch it."
Ye Tian looked at him and asked seriously, "You really didn't touch it?"
Handsome Kun put down his glass, a hint of helplessness on his face. He sighed and explained earnestly, "Really, no. I am greedy for money, but I'm even more afraid of death. I know what the crime of heroin is. I won't gamble with my life."
Ye Tian's smile returned, and he patted him on the shoulder: "It's good that you didn't touch it. As long as you didn't touch it, everything is negotiable. From now on, if anyone dares to spread rumors and falsely accuse you of drug trafficking, I'll be the first to get revenge!"
Liang Kun smiled, as if a weight had been lifted from his heart: "We're brothers for life, thank you for trusting me."
Ye Tian's smile suddenly vanished, his face darkened, and he turned to Lin Fu, his voice turning cold: "Little Fu, I have something to arrange for you."
Lin Fu immediately sat up straight: "Brother Tian, what are your orders?"
Ye Tian snorted through his nose, his anger clearly evident: "You've heard of Dongxing's 'Babi,' right?"
Lin Fu nodded: "I've heard of it. The Tung Sing gang members who operate in the Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui areas are quite arrogant."
"That bastard!" Ye Tian slammed his hand on the table, making his wine glass bounce. "He's utterly despicable and shameless! He's actually using Brother Kun's name to traffic drugs! He even told people that Brother Kun lent him 20 million as capital! By doing this, he not only smears Brother Kun's name but also puts Brother Kun in the eye of the storm! Once the police find out, Brother Kun will be unable to clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River!"
He stared at Lin Fu, his eyes sharp as knives: "A man like Ba Bi deserves to die. I never want to see him again. You go and clean things up, and while you're at it, take back all the ill-gotten gains he made from drug trafficking, leave not a single penny!"
Lin Fu's eyes instantly turned fierce, and he nodded emphatically: "Understood, Brother Tian! Drug dealers are scourges, everyone has the right to kill them! I will definitely take care of it!"
Liang Kun quickly spoke up: "Tin, don't make such a big deal out of this, okay? Even though he's acting under my name, he doesn't deserve to die. He's still my sworn brother, give him a chance..."
"My godbrother?" Ye Tian's eyes grew colder, his tone full of sarcasm. "If he truly considered you his older brother, he wouldn't have used your name to traffic drugs and put you to death! He clearly knew what heroin was, yet he still tried to drag you down with him, obviously using you as a shield! This kind of ungrateful bastard who deliberately drags others down is a menace if he stays even a day longer! The sooner we get rid of him, the better!"
Liang Kun opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but Ye Tian waved his hand to interrupt him: "Brother Kun, there's no need to say anything more. I've made up my mind. You saved my life, and I'll remember that. Anyone who dares to harm you or slander you, even if they're your godson, I'll kill them without hesitation!"
Seeing Ye Tian's resolute expression, Liang Kun knew further words were futile. He was filled with mixed emotions; on one hand, he felt heartbroken about the potential loss of twenty million (if Ba Bi had actually lent it), and on the other hand, he was moved by Ye Tian's unwavering support. Finally, he sighed and nodded: "Alright, you decide."
Lin Fu accepted the order and immediately got up and left.
Only Ye Tian and Liang Kun remained in the booth. The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Liang Kun pulled a gleaming gold Zippo lighter from his pocket, intending to light a cigarette, but his hand trembled, and he couldn't get it to light after several attempts. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he slammed the lighter to the ground!
Ye Tian reacted swiftly, bending down to catch the lighter just inches from the ground. With a casual flick of his thumb, the lighter produced a steady orange flame. Liang Kun hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and lit his cigarette.
Ye Tian lit a cigarette for himself, then picked up the heavy, solid gold lighter, weighed it in his hand, and smiled with satisfaction. "Tsk, a solid gold Zippo, worth some money. It would be such a waste to throw it away." As he spoke, he very naturally put the lighter into his suit's inner pocket.
Handsome Kun's eyes widened: "Hey! Why did you take my lighter?"
Ye Tian gave him a strange look: "Didn't you say you were going to throw it away? You might as well give it to me. You have plenty of money anyway." He said it with a straight face.
Liang Kun was so angry he almost laughed: "Brother! We're the big bosses of Qitian Group now, with assets in the hundreds of millions! You're still trying to take advantage of me with a lighter?"
Ye Tian smiled dismissively: "Being thrifty is good for managing a household; you can't waste money. Besides, you're my older brother, so your things are my things. What's the big deal?"
Leung Kwan was speechless, only able to shake his head helplessly. He knew that Ye Tian was only like this in front of him, with a touch of roguish intimacy. In front of others, Ye Tian was a different person. This unique "stinginess" made Leung Kwan feel it was real. He remembered Ye Tian's childhood, losing his mother at seven, and Ni Kun neglecting him. It was Leung Kwan who took Ye Tian in, raised him, supported his education, and brought him into Hung Hing... The bond between them had long surpassed that of ordinary brothers. The Ye Tian of the past was arrogant, with a strong sense of self-respect, and never took advantage of others. But since he took that fatal blow for him and returned from the brink of death, Ye Tian had changed. He had become more materialistic, and also more... humane, joking with him and taking small advantages of him. Leung Kwan felt that this Ye Tian was better.
About an hour later, Lin Fu returned, carrying two rather heavy-looking black travel bags, his expression somewhat complicated.
Liang Kun's gaze was immediately drawn to the bag, and his voice even changed slightly: "Xiao Fu? It's done? Bring him on..."
Lin Fu put the bag on the ground and shook his head: "Brother Tian, Brother Kun, something unexpected happened."
Handsome Kun's smile froze: "An accident? With your skills, Ba Bi got away?"
"No," Lin Fu quickly explained, "I was a step too late. When I got to Ba Bi's hideout, he had already... been killed."
Handsome Kun's eyes widened: "What? Who did this?"
Lin Fu said, "I inquired and found out it was Chan Ho-nam's gang from Causeway Bay who did it. I heard that Ba Bi offended Chan Ho-nam's older brother, Siu B, so Chan Ho-nam did it."
"Chan Ho-nam?! Little B?!" Handsome Kun sprang from his seat, his features contorted, slamming his glass on the table, spilling wine. "They dare touch my men?!"
Lin Fu quickly said, "Brother Kun, calm down. I saw that Ba Bi was dead, so I took the opportunity to go to his house and retrieve all the money he had hidden. It was a total of forty million, and it was all in these two bags."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Forty million? Ba Bi's business is that big?"
Lin Fu nodded: "It should all be dirty money earned from drug trafficking. I took it from his safe, along with some ledgers and evidence, but I've already burned them, so there's no future trouble."
Liang Kun's gaze was fixed on the travel bag. His initial shock and anger were gradually replaced by a burning joy. He squatted down and, with slightly trembling hands, unzipped a bag—inside were neatly stacked bundles of thousand-yuan bills, the smell of fresh ink mixed with the scent of paper wafting out.
"This...this..." Liang Kun's voice trembled. "Is it really...for me?"
Ye Tian smiled and pointed to one of the bags: "Brother Kun, this bag contains 20 million, which Ba Bi earned by using your name. Consider it compensation for your reputational damage. The other bag contains 20 million, which is his own dirty money. I'll give you half, and the other half to Xiao Fu as a reward for his hard work."
As he spoke, he opened another bag, casually pulled out half a banknote and placed it on the ground, then pushed the rest, along with the bag, to Lin Fu: "Xiao Fu, this is yours, take it."
Lin Fu looked at the mountain of banknotes in front of him, his face beaming with joy: "Thank you, Brother Tian! Thank you, Brother Kun!"
