"Yu Ge, your little brother's quality is really impressive. You mentioned that Lao Liu took his crew to Yue Nan for training, and you brought over thirty people while he brought fifty. I only have a dozen here; my subordinates are truly lacking in talent. I have a favor to ask—since we’re all brothers, could you lend me those ten people?" Wan Fei said with a smile as he looked at Zheng Yu. It was clear that among the three of us, Wan Fei had the fewest subordinates and the lowest quality.
Zheng Yu wouldn’t buy it. No way.
As expected, Zheng Yu shook his head in refusal without a hint of politeness.
"Tsk!" Wan Fei frowned and inhaled sharply, putting on an exaggerated expression. He always acted this way in front of his own people.
"Come on, Yu Ge, don’t be so stingy! Look at how tight-fisted you are!" Wan Fei shot a glare at Zheng Yu, but Zheng Yu remained unfazed. Perhaps Wan Fei knew it was futile to plead with him, so he turned to me instead.
"Dong Ge, what’s up? We’re on the same level here; why should I be treated like a stepchild? Just look at my crew compared to his; it’s not even close! So how about you give me this batch of people?" Wan Fei said with a grin as he looked at me. I couldn’t help but laugh, and Zheng Yu chuckled too.
"Wan Fei, really? You’re just going to ask Dong Ge for my men right in front of me?" Zheng Yu said helplessly.
Wan Fei replied to Zheng Yu, "Why not? I think there’s something behind this matter, right? That would be playing tricks. Asking face-to-face—would you mind? I doubt it."
"Right, this isn’t just playing tricks; it’s being unreasonable," Zheng Yu said with a wry smile, giving an apt assessment. However, Wan Fei didn’t care at all; he had thick skin and was ready to take advantage!
"Dong Ge, don’t you think I have a point? We’re all brothers here; why am I the only one who looks so shabby? I can’t compare to either of them!" Wan Fei feigned innocence. In truth, when the subordinates were divided up earlier, Liu Sen had been prioritized first for Wan Fei because he also had a Winery to manage.
"Brother, talking to me won’t help; those men belong to him, not me," I said frankly. Among those ten people, half were familiar faces that Zheng Yu deemed reliable. I suspected that half of them might have been borrowed from Zheng Yu! He wouldn’t claim new recruits were reliable.
After asking Zheng Yu about his intelligence network that day, I thought about it more—Zheng Yu couldn’t possibly be fighting alone! He worked right under my nose every day and didn’t have time to manage such a vast intelligence network; he must have some backing.
Those half of the people likely came from that backing; this situation probably wasn’t simple.
"Dong Ge, you’re mistaken! I’m your little brother; my people are your people too! If you want these ten men, I won’t say anything!" Zheng Yu immediately interjected. This caught me off guard! Zheng Yu wouldn’t share his intelligence network with me, yet his little brother was willing to offer them up willingly? Was this his backing’s intention?
"Of course! Look at you, Yu Ge. Alright then, Dong Ge, let’s settle this: if you want those ten people, just remember to help me out later!" Wan Fei said immediately. After hearing this, Zheng Yu changed his tune.
"That won’t do; those men are for Dong Ge—they have nothing to do with you."
"But if you give them to Dong Ge and then Dong Ge gives them back to me, what’s wrong with that? You can send them out but still want them back?" Wan Fei said unhappily. No matter how much Wan Fei argued, Zheng Yu simply refused—he wouldn’t give them up! "It’s no problem for me!"
In the end, Wan Fei declared he would sever ties with Zheng Yu! "What brothers? We’re done!" He still brought along the small knife and those ten people. I estimated that during this mission, Wan Fei would definitely try to recruit those ten people to join him.
"Dong Ge," he said earnestly, "my people are reliable; keeping them around will ensure your safety too."
Wan Fei later, Zheng Yu said to me, I still refused. I don’t plan to wade into the water behind Zheng Yu for the time being, no matter it is clear or dirty. Three days later, Wan Fei and Xiao Dao took ten people to He Nan to get the counterfeit banknote template. I was waiting for news in Kyoto. For some reason, Wan Fei always feels a little unsure about this operation. What exactly is the problem? Is it because I don't have complete trust in Zheng Yu? There's nothing wrong with this, right? You don't have to worry, Liu Hao You didn't even know what was going on in this kind of place, who would have thought it was you who did it? Linna saw that I was a little depressed and knew what I was worried about, because I had told her about it before. Well, I am just a little worried for some reason. It would be great if Liu Sen were the one to do this operation. I told Linna that if it was Liu Sen who did it, I would definitely feel more at ease. Linna smiled after hearing this and told me that Wan Fei and Xiaodao would definitely be fine, which put my mind at ease. Well, I will be at ease and quietly wait for news from Wan Fei. On the first day of Wan Fei's operation, Wan Fei told me that he had found Zheng Yu's information factory and investigated it to find out what was producing Fake Currency! We'll get started tonight. On the third day, Wan Fei reported victory early in the morning! Successfully got the Fake Currency template! You see, I told you there was no problem, it was just stealing a template. Linna said with a smile, and I also smiled after hearing it. Isn’t it just a template? That's a Fake Currency template! Great value! Well, Wan Fei and Xiaodao were quite helpful and they succeeded in stealing it. Dong Ge! Oh, you don’t know how happy I was when I set fire to it! Those are all banknotes! Ga gah, so cool! Wan Fei called me and said that after he succeeded, he burned Fake Currency, and the Fake Currency factory said they were so excited! I can imagine that scene, it must be really cool! And this operation was successful. The templates were kept in a guarded place. Wan Fei and his team half stole and half robbed the templates. Okay, stop talking nonsense, the template is protected, bring it back quickly. I told Wan Fei that it would be safer if I destroyed the template myself. Wan Fei responded and said he would return to Kyoto tomorrow. For some reason, I always feel like something is not right. Shouldn't I be wary of Fake Currency? Why does it sound so easy to succeed? Could it be that Wan Fei simply told me the result and omitted the process? This is consistent with his personality. Fake Currency The template has been handled, why is it so quiet on my side? Liu HaoDidn’t you receive the message? Doesn't he want to go to He Nan? If he was going to He Nan, he should have informed me. I told Linna about my concerns, but Linna said my concerns were groundless. Now the templates were in hand, and besides, how long had it been since then? After half a day, maybe Liu Hao really didn't receive the call, and he might explode in a short while. I believed her and waited until the evening. Liu Hao didn't get angry. The next day, I received a call from Liu Hao. Hey, Xiang Dong, you are so brave to steal my template? What? What did you say! I was shocked! Oh shit! I knew something was wrong! Don't you understand what I said? Oh, I am so heartbroken. I thought you were a loyal subordinate, but it turns out you are also a wolf. All your brothers are in my hands. Come and claim them when you have time, otherwise I will deal with them. Remember to come. Liu Hao said calmly and hung up the phone!
What the hell is going on?
How could this happen? Wan Fei and his team are meticulous in their work, especially at night. They would definitely protect themselves and avoid being recognized. So how could they get caught?
Could it be that they were being followed while stealing the template? But why didn’t they apprehend Wan Fei and his group in He Nan? Why wait until they returned to Kyoto to take action?
How did they know Wan Fei would come back to Kyoto?
Could there be a mole among us? Or is this whole situation just a trap?
What’s wrong?
Linna looked at me as I was getting dressed and immediately asked. I replied, “It’s nothing. You shouldn’t stay home; leave right now!”
I told Linna that this matter had been exposed. I had been involved in creating fake currency templates with the Stealing Heaven Group! I was really in deep trouble! This was serious, and I couldn’t tell Linna about it. All it would do is worry her and prevent me from going to rescue my brothers!
“What’s going on? What big trouble have you gotten into?”
As soon as Linna heard what I said, she realized something was seriously wrong and looked tense. I forced myself to smile reassuringly and gently kissed her forehead, saying, “It’s nothing major. Zheng Yu offended a high-ranking official, so there might be some trouble. You should find a safe place to hide; then I’ll feel better. Otherwise, even if there’s just a one-in-a-thousand chance they might come to my house, I can’t shake off the unease.”
I smiled at Linna, but today wasn’t just a one-in-a-thousand chance. There was a real possibility that I could end up like Xiong Li—executed! If I died, they might come to ransack my home and take everything valuable. I couldn’t let Linna be in danger!
“You’re lying! You’re nervous! Your heart is racing! Which high-ranking official did you offend that has you so on edge? Tell me!”
Linna pushed me away, her eyes filled with concern. She was smart; I couldn’t fool her, nor could I hide my anxiety from her. What good would it do to tell her? She wouldn’t let me go, and I couldn’t abandon Wan Fei and Xiao Dao!
“I’m not going!”
If I didn’t go, those two were as good as dead!
“Will you come back to tell me later?”
I smiled at Linna, but she stubbornly asked, “Are you sure you can come back?”
Sighing deeply, I realized she understood that this situation was complicated; I couldn’t deceive her anymore.
I didn’t know what else to do—I had no choice!
