Fei Hu finished speaking and forcefully brought the knife down. The mouse, seeing this, was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, repeatedly begging for mercy: "Sister, I won't do this to you again. Please let him spare me." After saying this, the shameless fellow even started bowing to Fei Hu. Such a person is truly rare in the world.
Regardless of everything, they were born of the same mother. Wang Yun looked at him with a hint of pity. She cast a gentle glance at Fei Hu, who understood her meaning. In truth, he only intended to scare this person; he didn't really want to cut him. Fei Hu reached out and lifted the mouse off the ground, sternly asking, "You promise me today that if you dare to have any more ridiculous ideas about your sister in the future, be careful or I will really ruin you."
The mouse nodded his head like a drum, his face filled with fear. It seemed he was genuinely scared this time. Fei Hu ordered him to sit on a chair inside the room and coldly asked, "Aren't you mingling with Ye Wu? How did you end up like this?"
"Hey, don't say that. Ye Wu is too heartless; he only lets Brothers do the fighting and take over territories, but the money he gives us is pitifully little. Plus, that money doesn't even go directly into our hands. So many people struggling to get by in City A," the mouse said with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Fei Hu deliberately shouted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! Ye Wu's territory in City A is the largest now. If he doesn't have money for you, how can you buy your lives for him? Isn't that just nonsense? Honestly, did you lose money gambling?" Fei Hu couldn't help but raise his voice a bit.
The mouse's eyes darted around as he trembled and stood up. He glanced at Wang Yun and stammered for a long time before saying, "At least I'm not doing well financially; I lost some small money and borrowed from my brothers. So I had no choice but to see if I could get something back from my sister; otherwise, I'd have no face to show around. That's why I ended up in that situation just now."
"You scoundrel! How could our parents give birth to such a disgrace like you? You might as well jump down from here so our family won't be dragged down by you!" Wang Yun shouted while crying.
The mouse lowered his head in shame and didn't say a word. It was unclear whether he realized his mistake or if it was because Fei Hu was present that he didn't dare to argue; either way, he remained silent.
Faced with such a situation, Fei Hu initially thought about beating this guy up to relieve Wang Yun's anger. However, after reconsidering, he thought that hitting someone like this wouldn't have any effect if it was too light. If it was too heavy, Wang Yun would also feel bad watching it. So instead of punishing him severely, he decided to take him under his wing since he didn't seem interested in Ye Wu's side; perhaps he could still be of some use.
With this in mind, Fei Hu lowered his voice and asked, "How much do you owe in total?"
The mouse secretly glanced at Wang Yun and quietly replied, "About ten thousand yuan."
Although the mouse's voice was low, Wang Yun still heard it. She rushed over and grabbed the mouse by his collar, kicking him several times on the leg while crying out angrily: "You useless thing! You might as well sell me off to pay your debts!" Fei Hu shook his head helplessly and separated Wang Yun's hands from the mouse. Wang Yun angrily sat down on the edge of the bed and refused to say another word.
"The amount isn't much, but your behavior is too terrible. Remember this: from today onwards, never gamble again. Otherwise, when I see you next time, I will definitely chop off one of your hands. I'll pay off your debt for you, but you need to do something for me first. Are you willing?" Fei Hu said while patting the mouse on the shoulder. This guy looked thin and frail but still had some strength left in him.
When the Mouse heard that Fei Hu was going to pay him back, he looked at Wang Yun excitedly and after a long pause said, "Alright, but I don't know what you want me to do. I won't do anything illegal." This guy didn't seem foolish; there was hope for him.
Fei Hu sat down and spoke in a calm tone, "You know, I'm also part of this world, just not from the same side. Ye Wu is cunning and ruthless, and he doesn't treat his subordinates well; I don't need to tell you that. But the most important thing is that he dares to confront the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang. His path will lead to his own destruction. Don't be fooled by his current bravado; as soon as Ye Cheng makes a serious move, it's only a matter of time before he's finished."
The Mouse nodded and quietly said, "But right now, Ye Wu has almost taken over all of Ye Cheng's territory. Ye Cheng has no power left. Do you really think Ye Cheng can defeat Ye Wu?" The Mouse looked doubtful.
"Heh, this is only temporary. When you're out there, the most important thing is to be with the right people. If you choose the wrong side, you'll get dragged down too. You have to remember that Ye Cheng is the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang; what is Ye Wu compared to him? As soon as Ye Cheng calls a meeting of the Dragon Tiger Gang and strips Ye Wu of his position there, do you think he can still survive?" Fei Hu patiently explained to the Mouse.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Wang Yun saw that the Mouse was asking questions but still wouldn't agree to work for Fei Hu. She got angry and shouted, "He's just a cow; why are you playing music for him? It would be best if someone else killed him!" Wang Yun gritted her teeth in frustration.
The Mouse glanced at Wang Yun and quietly told Fei Hu, "I understand what you're saying. Old Master Ye has people's hearts. If he really comes back, neither Ye Wu nor Ye Wei will be his match. I'm just afraid he won't accept someone like me because I've been following Ye Wu and have done many things that go against Old Master Ye."
Seeing that the Mouse was slowly warming up to his words, Fei Hu lowered his voice and said, "You don't have to come out from under Ye Wu; just send me any useful information from his side. I guarantee you'll get paid every month, and it won't be less than what Ye Wu gives you. Once Ye Wu falls, you can officially switch sides then. How does that sound? If you're on board, I'll call right away; if not, then forget it. But once we go out, don't say anything about this; you've seen my methods."
The Mouse nodded slightly and drew circles on the ground with his toes. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it. I trust you; you're a man of your word. With so many people sent by Ye Wu who can't do anything to you, you're bound to achieve great things in the future. I'm with you."
"Good, I'm glad you see it that way. But you need to understand this isn't child's play. If you mess around, the Dragon Tiger Gang will take care of you without me lifting a finger; you should know that well enough. Remember this: from now on, get yourself a new phone number and preferably a dedicated phone for communication," Fei Hu said as he pulled out a thousand yuan and handed it to the Mouse.
Seeing this, Wang Yun rushed over from beside the bed and grabbed Fei Hu's arm saying, "Don't give him money! He's not trustworthy; no matter how much you give him, he'll squander it all! And you can't believe what he says; be careful he doesn't harm you. This person is beyond saving; I've lost all hope." As she spoke, two tears fell from her eyes.
Fei Hu patted Wang Yun's shoulder and said, "Don't worry; if he dares to mess with me, he'll end up in pieces." Fei Hu was trying to intimidate the Mouse; in reality, he had never killed anyone.
The Mouse eagerly said, "Sister, I apologize for how I've treated you before. From today onward, I'll turn over a new leaf and start fresh. Besides, even if you gave me ten times more courage now, I wouldn't dare mess around under his hand." The Mouse spoke sincerely.
"Alright, go back to A City immediately, buy a new phone and get a new SIM card. Then text me; someone will contact you in A City after we meet to discuss further details. They will give you some money to ensure you can pay off your gambling debts," Fei Hu said as he took out a pen and wrote down his phone number for the Mouse.
The mouse took the item and stuffed it into its pocket, cupping its fists in a salute to Fei Hu before turning to leave.
Only Fei Hu and Wang Yun remained in the room. The earlier excitement was completely shattered by the dead mouse. Wang Yun rushed to the bathroom to wash her face and changed into a fresh outfit. She forced a smile and said to Fei Hu, "Let's go out for a meal. I'm really sorry about what just happened." Fei Hu smiled back and followed Wang Yun out of the hotel.
In Shanghang, it was scorching hot. After walking a few steps, Fei Hu felt sweat trickling down his back and had no desire to continue walking. Noticing this, Wang Yun waved down a rental car, and they both got in. After she provided the destination, the rental car started moving.
Since the girl had offered to treat him to a meal, Fei Hu felt it would be rude to decline. In fact, on such a hot day, he would have preferred to enjoy the air conditioning in the hotel and order takeout instead. However, out of courtesy, he went along with Wang Yun.
The car stopped in front of a restaurant that had a somewhat classical decor. As they walked inside, Wang Yun said, "This is the most famous Tujia Cuisine Restaurant in Shanghang. I guarantee you'll like it." Fei Hu smiled but remained silent; what he really wanted was just two bowls of noodles.
The place was quite lively, bustling with customers. As soon as they entered, a young and beautiful woman greeted them with a smile. "Oh, Wang Yun! What brings you here? It's been quite some time since we last met."
"Ha ha, what's there to see? Just keep making your money. But today is different; I'm bringing a friend to try your local dishes. Remember to cook it well; if it doesn't taste good, I won't pay," Wang Yun joked heartily.
The beautiful woman glanced at Fei Hu and asked Wang Yun with a smile, "Is this your boyfriend? Why not introduce him? Afraid I'll steal him away?"
"Please! Li Xiaoran, don't be greedy! Be careful your chef doesn't stew you for dinner," Wang Yun laughed but didn't introduce Fei Hu. He understood that she couldn't really introduce him; what could she say about him?
Li Xiaoran shook her head helplessly and playfully poked Wang Yun's forehead with her finger. "You’re so unreliable! We've been classmates for years, yet you're keeping your boyfriend a secret from me? That's not fair! Let's head upstairs; our usual spot might be full elsewhere. Once I'm done here, I'll come up and join you two for a drink."
Wang Yun smiled and pulled Fei Hu upstairs.
