Father Bing never expected that the little thug who used to dominate the streets would now be so respectful in front of him.
"Uh... it's nothing. Shouldn't we be paying the safety fee?" Father Bing said, hurriedly reaching into his pocket.
Seeing this, Brother Kun quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, from now on, you won't need to pay the safety fee for your stall anymore. Also, I will refund the safety fees I collected from you before."
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Father Bing replied, confused and bewildered.
Noticing this, Bing Tianyi quickly stood up and smiled, "Alright Dad, you keep busy. I'll go out with him for a bit and come back to help you later."
As Bing Tianyi turned around, Father Bing immediately stepped forward, grabbing Bing Tianyi's arm and helplessly saying, "Son, what are you doing?"
Seeing the worried expression on his father's face made Bing Tianyi feel a bit guilty. He turned his head to glance at Brother Kun beside him.
Brother Kun quickly guessed what Father Bing was worried about. He turned around and said to his two brothers behind him, "Alright, you guys go to the restaurant and cancel the table I reserved."
"But big brother, you..."
"I'll stay here and chat with Brother Bing," Brother Kun said as he casually found a chair to sit down.
The brothers looked at each other helplessly but soon turned to leave.
Father Bing remained frozen in place, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before him.
At this moment, Bing Tianyi smiled and said to his father, "Alright, Dad, you go ahead with your work."
Father Bing nodded in agreement, but his eyes were still filled with worry.
Bing Tianyi sat next to Brother Kun, frowned, and curiously asked, "Brother Kun, didn't I tell you to stay down for a week? It's only been half a day; why are you back already?"
"Bro, I have to thank you this time. I didn't believe it at first, but after I went up the mountain, I never expected that my brother would text me that night to tell me my little bar had been smashed. And the one leading the charge was Old Maozi. My men told me that luckily I wasn't there; otherwise, given the situation that night, it would have been impossible for Old Maozi not to kill me," Brother Kun said with a big smile, excitedly addressing Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi nodded, sitting in his chair as he brought over his wonton from the nearby table and took a few bites. He then looked up and said, "Brother Kun, I want to ask you something."
"Go ahead, bro. If I know it, I'll definitely tell you," Brother Kun replied almost patting his chest.
Bing Tianyi nodded and then seriously asked Brother Kun in front of him, "Brother Kun, can you honestly tell me if this conflict with the crows was initiated by Qiangzi or Big Head?"
Brother Kun was taken aback by the question. After a few seconds, he smiled wryly and said, "Actually, it was my idea at first. I thought we were young men; this much could be understood. Now that Wenchang Road is mine, I still want to expand my territory."
"I understand that, but from what I know, relying solely on your strength makes it impossible to go against the crows. You weren't really just acting on impulse when you made that decision, were you?" Bing Tianyi asked based on his memories of Brother Kun.
Brother Kun chuckled and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. He politely offered one to Father Bing before lighting one for himself. Once he sat back down, he said to Bing Tianyi, "Bro, since you've asked me, I'll be honest. At that time, Qiangzi promised he would take care of Old Maozi when the time came; that's why I dared to openly confront the crows."
Bing Tianyi shook his head with a wry smile. Although he had never mingled in society before, he had read enough novels to recognize how naive Brother Kun was for believing such words.
"Do you think I'm particularly foolish?" Brother Kun asked with a bitter smile.
Bing Tianyi didn't answer that question but continued to ask, "So why did you dare come down today?"
"This morning, Crow personally brought his brothers to my shop and compensated me based on the damage caused. He also told me to rest assured about coming down the mountain, as long as I don't openly confront him again in the future, this matter can be left unresolved. So, I came down," Brother Kun said with a broad smile to Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi let out a bitter laugh. In fact, based on the situation that day, he had already cast a divination for Brother Kun. According to the interpretation of the hexagram, he needed to stay on the mountain for a full seven days.
However, now this guy had only stayed for six and a half days. Although he had avoided a deadly calamity, it seemed that a blood disaster was inevitable.
Thinking of this, Bing Tianyi candidly said to Brother Kun, "Brother Kun, you should still be careful these days. It's best to stay in the shop and not go out."
Seeing the expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Brother Kun realized that things were not looking good. The cheerful demeanor he had just moments ago was instantly replaced with worry as he politely asked Bing Tianyi, "Brother, what's going on? Is my calamity not resolved yet?"
"Brother Kun, I previously mentioned that you must wait until after seven days to come down. But you only stayed up there for six and a half days; you're still half a day short. Why didn't you just hold on a little longer?" After saying this, Bing Tianyi sighed and continued, "But you don't need to worry too much; this time it will probably just be a little bloodshed. There shouldn't be any life-threatening danger."
Upon hearing this, Brother Kun looked distressed and said to Bing Tianyi, "Brother, please don't scare me. A little bloodshed better not mean losing an arm or a leg."
"Don't worry; according to the hexagram from that day, nothing too serious should happen," Bing Tianyi said quietly before continuing to eat.
As soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Brother Kun quickly interjected, "Brother, can you help me calculate again and see if there's any way to resolve this?"
"I only conduct divinations once per day; I can't do it twice in one day. First of all, it won't be accurate; second of all, it's not good for either of us. Moreover, the same matter can only be divined once for the most accurate results. If I do it twice, it could lead to even greater disasters," Bing Tianyi explained seriously.
Hearing this, Brother Kun stood up and looked at Bing Tianyi and said, "Brother, what should I do then? Is there really no other way?"
"You don't need to be too anxious. As I mentioned earlier, I'm just making judgments based on that day's hexagram; I can't guarantee its accuracy. Besides, even if it's accurate, shedding some blood is nothing in our line of work," Bing Tianyi stated frankly.
Brother Kun felt helpless and after Bing Tianyi finished speaking, he sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Sigh... With only half a day left, why couldn't I just hold on a little longer?"
"Alright, Brother Kun, it's fine." Bing Tianyi had already swallowed the bowl of Wonton, setting it aside in the box next to him.
Turning to Brother Kun, he asked, "Brother Kun, do you prefer meat filling or vegetarian?"
Brother Kun was not in the mood to eat at all. After Bing Tianyi finished speaking, he forced a smile and said, "I'll come back another day to try Uncle and Aunt's cooking."
Seeing Brother Kun get up, Bing Tianyi smiled and asked, "Where are you going now?"
"I'm heading back to my own shop first," Brother Kun replied. After saying goodbye to Father Bing and Mother Bing, he hurriedly left.
As soon as Brother Kun's figure disappeared from Bing Tianyi's sight, Father Bing didn't think twice and kicked his son hard in the rear while sternly asking, "What did I tell you before? Not to associate with people from outside. You just wouldn't listen. Tell me, when did you get in touch with him?"
Bing Tianyi forced a smile and said, "Dad, it's really nothing. He came to find me when I was getting my fortune told that day. I helped him with his reading, and that's how we got to know each other."
"Is what you're saying true?" Father Bing glared at Bing Tianyi and asked sharply.
"Of course it's true," Bing Tianyi replied earnestly.
Father Bing finally relaxed a bit but then sternly ordered, "Go over there and tidy up that table."
Bing Tianyi quickly nodded and approached the table. Just as he was about to clean it up, he noticed a black bag on the chair where Brother Kun had just sat.
He stepped forward to open the bag, and inside were neatly bundled stacks of cash that nearly blinded Bing Tianyi.
"Dad, this must be what Brother Kun left behind," Bing Tianyi said as he picked up the bag and walked over to his father.
Father Bing had been paying close attention to Brother Kun, and now with Bing Tianyi's words, a scene flashed in his mind of Brother Kun leaving behind the black bag earlier.
"It should be," Father Bing said, taking the bag from Bing Tianyi's hands. Upon seeing its contents, he exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, how did this brat leave so much money here?"
At this point, Bing Tianyi seemed to have realized something. After his father finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Alright, since it's what he left behind, let's just keep it."
"What? Keep it? You really don't want us to do business here, do you?" Father Bing said as he untied his scarf and prepared to rush in the direction where Brother Kun had disappeared.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi quickly interjected, "Dad, forget it; it's probably his payment for me."
However, Father Bing ignored Bing Tianyi's explanation and strode forward. At the same time, Mother Bing urged Father Bing not to go, but before they could react, Father Bing had already hurried out of their sight with swift steps.
Mother Bing looked worriedly at her son and said, "You should go check on him quickly; we can't let anything happen."
Bing Tianyi understood that Brother Kun regarded him as a kind of deity and would never do anything inappropriate to his father. So after his mother finished speaking, he simply smiled calmly and replied, "Don't worry; everything will be fine."
About fifteen minutes passed. Just as Bing Tianyi finished tidying up several tables, he saw his father approaching cheerfully, still holding the same black bag.
However, behind his father was a familiar figure that made Bing Tianyi's eyes light up.
