I understand, I understand.
I nodded with a smile after hearing this. There are many inexplicable aspects to this situation. The Tian Ye Group may have doubts and may investigate, but so what? As far as I know, Chen has not told anyone about my leverage over him. After all, why would he disclose that I hold something against him with Xiang Dong? That would be equivalent to admitting he has done something wrong to the Tian Ye Group.
At most, he might tell Qian Cun Jin that he is at a loss regarding me, but he would never divulge the specifics. Therefore, the only people who know the details are Chen and me. The police have controlled Chen and will not allow anyone to see him; he is cooperating and hasn’t even hired a lawyer. Thus, there is no way to investigate this matter further.
As long as you understand, I have already communicated with the police regarding your situation. For the illegal possession of explosives, they will consider it and impose a fine. The police are already handling it, and you should be able to leave shortly.
Miss Fang stood up and said this. I quickly thanked her; after all, she came to bail me out, so a proper expression of gratitude was necessary.
No need for thanks. Afterward, I will gather all personnel from the Southern District for a meeting.
Miss Fang informed me before leaving, and I replied that I understood.
She’s going to hold a meeting for us? Does that mean Miss Fang is the new Helmsman of the Kyoto Headquarters?
A smile crept onto my lips at the thought of having a beautiful woman as my superior. Not bad at all.
Before long, the police informed me that I could leave. I had already explained everything about Chen to them, so there was no need for me to linger. I left the police station and headed home.
Upon arriving home, I found that everything was exceptionally clean. There was also a lavish spread of food on the table, clearly prepared by Lu Ying in anticipation of my return to ensure I wouldn’t go hungry.
“Welcome back! Come eat!” Lu Ying said with a cheerful smile, embodying the image of a devoted wife, though she was merely my friend.
“Thank you,” I replied as I stepped inside and began eating. There was no need for me to elaborate on Chen’s situation; she and Zheng Yu were likely already aware of everything. During dinner, I asked Lu Ying about her tracking device.
“Why did your tracker fail?”
“The tracker I took before leaving malfunctioned on the way; they beat me up and made me vomit it out,” Lu Ying explained.
I nodded in understanding. “You’ve been wronged.”
Looking at Lu Ying, I had been worried that she might lose control if she encountered someone like Qian Peng among those Little Rascals; this situation could have spiraled even further out of control. Thankfully, she hadn’t lost her composure, which only confirmed that the reason she lost control that night was because I had gotten her drunk.
“It’s nothing; they just hit me. You were very thorough in your planning and didn’t give them any time to do anything else,” Lu Ying said with a smile.
Hearing this made me smile as well. I had calculated that scene more than once; it had to be foolproof. If Chen had really done something to Lu Ying, she would have undoubtedly lost control completely, possibly worsening her psychological issues and leading her down a path of mental illness.
“It’s what you should do,” I said with a smile. Now that this matter was settled, Linna should be arriving soon, and Lu Ying would need to leave. Looking at her now, it seemed like this time things had turned somewhat serious between us.
“Uh…heh heh…you just eat your meal. After dinner, I'll need you to take me to the airport.”
Lu Ying smiled.
"Are you leaving?" I asked.
"Yeah, this chapter is over. We should go back to our original lives. What's wrong? Are you going to miss me? Should I break up with your girlfriend and be with you instead?" Lu Ying said with a grin, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"What kind of joke is that?"
"Ha! Xiang Dong! What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
"Yeah, I am looking down on you. So what?"
We playfully finished our farewell meal, and everyone seemed relatively happy. I knew I couldn't be with Lu Ying, so I teased her to avoid giving her any false hopes. Although it might upset her, it was the best way to protect her.
After dinner, I drove Lu Ying away. I didn't ask where she wanted to go, and she didn't tell me either.
"Let's go," I said, leaning against my Porsche Cayenne and smiling as I watched Lu Ying. She stood there, looking at me with a smile until tears welled up in her eyes.
"Thank you, my friend. When we meet next time, we'll still be friends, right?" Lu Ying asked with a smile.
"Of course," I replied with a grin. "I wish you happiness. Safe travels."
As we said our brief goodbyes, I watched Lu Ying slowly disappear from my sight, feeling a twinge of melancholy. I sighed helplessly.
Damn it! Am I too handsome? Being this good-looking can really cause trouble!
I hope Lu Ying forgets me and finds a man who suits her better!
After sending Lu Ying off, I drove to the Security Department. My subordinates all knew about my situation, and when I arrived, they greeted me enthusiastically and gave me thumbs up.
"Brother Dong, you handled that beautifully! You single-handedly saved your girlfriend; you're famous in Kyoto now!"
As Xiao Kuai Ji from our department passed by, he greeted me with a thumbs up. I couldn't help but smile at that.
"Feeling proud?"
"Absolutely! You're amazing!" Xiao Kuai Ji said with a sweet smile.
I laughed heartily! No doubt about it!
"What’s got you so happy, Brother Dong?"
Just as I was enjoying the moment, Zheng Yu's voice came from behind me. I casually replied, "Just bragging!"
"I'll wait for you for a bit; once you're done bragging, we can talk business."
Zheng Yu smiled and said, "Alright."
I nodded, feeling a bit simple-minded, and planned to continue chatting with Xiao Kuai Ji. To be honest, ever since Lu Ying left, I felt a sense of loss. Talking with the little sister was truly a remedy for all ailments, making me feel much better.
However, Xiao Kuai Ji stopped engaging with me. "Dong Ge, you have important matters to attend to," she said.
What important matters could there be? I raised an eyebrow. I always enjoyed being close to my employees; who said that the Underworld boss had to wear a stern face all the time? Xiao Kuai Ji was nice, quite pretty and adorable.
"You don’t have anything, but she does. She needs to report this month's earnings to the higher-ups," Zheng Yu said quietly.
"Cough, cough, then get back to work," I dismissed Xiao Kuai Ji. If you have something to say, just say it! I felt a bit awkward; suddenly, she didn’t seem as cute anymore.
Xiao Kuai Ji responded with a playful apology, saying she came to chat with Dong Ge before leaving. I followed Zheng Yu into the office.
"Hey Dong Ge, if your girlfriend finds out about this..." Zheng Yu shook his head while looking at me. I smirked; was he trying to threaten me? I knew he wouldn’t snitch.
"Stop pretending. Tell me, once you finish dealing with Chen's matters, is there anything else? If not, then I'm not happy."
I asked Zheng Yu. He replied, "Actually, there is. Yesterday when you weren’t here, Liu Sen came by. After I told him you didn’t have anything going on, he took his brothers to see the families of those deceased brothers and took a million as settlement funds from me."
"Oh," I responded. Yes, Liu Sen did come yesterday. The settlement funds for the seventy brothers who died couldn’t be delayed for even a moment!
"Alright then. In a bit, I’ll transfer two million from my account to you. Keep one million for yourself and give the other million to Liu Sen so he can distribute it among the deceased’s younger brothers."
I continued, considering that two million was all my cash after accounting for recent earnings. With a hundred younger brothers involved, if they shared more equally among themselves, each could receive over two hundred thousand. This money could provide them with lifelong security in their homes.
"Is that much?" Zheng Yu asked.
"I won’t allow my brothers’ families to live worse than others'. Tell Liu Sen to keep track of the deceased’s families; if they encounter any difficulties in the future, we’ll help them out."
Zheng Yu nodded in agreement and continued, "By the way, there's good news too. Since Zi took over White Tiger Hall just a few days ago, he organized a large joint promotional event that turned out very well. The venue is now thriving; this news has been reported up the chain and Zi might receive an award."
