Chapter 331: Brother Fei Is Gone

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Brother Fei Is Gone

Who the hell cares who your dad is!

Wutian gripped his combat blade and stepped forward. "This isn’t a movie set, it’s a military exercise! Didn’t you see the signs posted outside?"

The young man across from him blinked. "Bullshit! The Battle Department holding an exercise here in Shangdu? The news never said anything about it. Don’t think I’m an idiot."

Wutian was so angry he laughed. "Do you even know what an exercise is? They’re classified!"

The young man impatiently fiddled with his Buddhist Beads. "Cut the crap. I’ll ask you one more time: do you have any idea who my dad is?"

"So who is your dad?" someone finally asked.

The young man finally had his opening, and he puffed out his chest. "Du Jinrong of the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association! I am the young master of the Du Family. I wouldn’t say I can get away with anything around here, but wherever my car goes, not even the damn Police Department dares to stop me."

Qin Tianxuan couldn’t have been bothered to pay him any mind, but when he heard the name "Du Jinrong," he walked over. "Wutian, let him talk. Let him keep talking!"

Wutian was furious and barked at the Du Family’s young master, "We’re from the Northern Domain Battle Department..."

"So what if you’re from the Northern Domain Battle Department?" Young Master Du cut him off rudely, rolling his eyes. "My brother got into trouble on my turf. You think I’m just going to ignore it? This needs to be settled properly!"

Qin Tianxuan smiled. "And how do you propose we settle it?"

Young Master Du let out a snort. "This is Shangdu City. We’ll do things according to the rules of the Jianghu! I’ll be waiting for you at the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association. Come on over if you’ve got the damn guts."

As he spoke, he even had the audacity to point his finger. "I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll let you bring four of your men, and I’ll have four of my own. We’ll go one-on-one!"

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

They stared at Young Master Du as if he were an idiot, unable to believe their eyes.

The Cyan Mountain Commerce Association, a mere mob of riffraff, wanted to challenge the Northern Domain Night Emperor to a duel?

Qin Tianxuan said flatly, "Go back and wait."

Young Master Du raised a hand slightly. "Let’s go. Go back and tell the old man’s Four Heavenly Kings to get ready. How long has it been since our Cyan Mountain Commerce Association last took action? Let’s show these out-of-town morons what Jianghu status really means!"

With his men in tow, the young master of the Du Family piled into their cars.

As he was leaving, he was still shouting, "Remember to bring four guys! Don’t say the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association bullies you!"

Four guys...

Qin Tianxuan turned to look at his brothers-in-arms.

Wutian, Prince, and Venerable Yuan all looked eager for a fight.

Qin Tianxuan was speechless. "Are you all that bored you’re itching for a fight? You think a punk like that is worthy of your time? Lingsu, you bring two people and come with me."

Lingsu gave a sweet smile. "Great! I get to go have some fun with Mr. Qin."

Wutian and the others were quite dejected.

They really were painfully bored and wanted to go "have some fun" at the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association.

Qin Tianxuan checked the time. He told Wutian and the others to withdraw and go about their business. He only kept his old Personal Guards, tasking them with escorting Song Mingzhu and Sisi back to the villa to rest.

Then, he took out his phone and made a call to Tianhao.

"Big Brother, I’ve been waiting for your orders!"

Brother Tianhao, who had come from the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association, was now doing quite well for himself. It seemed he and Brother Fei had started a legitimate business together; their foreign trade company had already started selling products.

"Come with me to the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association. Come alone," Qin Tianxuan said succinctly.

Brother Tianhao’s voice was filled with grief and indignation. "I was just about to go looking for them! What they did to Brother Fei’s family..."

Qin Tianxuan frowned. "What happened to Old Fatty?"

Brother Tianhao hesitated.

"Where are you?" Qin Tianxuan demanded.

"Liuhe Road, at Brother Fei’s car wash. Boss, it’s a bit complicated. Brother Fei... he’s gone..."

Qin Tianxuan’s heart sank. He turned and got into Lingsu’s car.

The car sped directly toward Liuhe Road.

Soon, they saw a small, open lot by the side of the road—a car wash—piled high with trash.

On the wall of the car wash, words like "TRAITOR" and "DEADBEAT" were scrawled in red paint.

Brother Tianhao was squatting in front of the car wash, smoking a cigarette by himself.

Qin Tianxuan got out of the car. "Tianhao, weren’t you and Old Fatty doing a foreign trade business together? What exactly happened?"

Tianhao was injured, and his eyes were red-rimmed. "On the very first day our company opened, Young Master Du from the association brought his men and trashed the place. Money, computers, phones... Young Master Du took everything. Brother Fei didn’t say a word. He even knelt and apologized, figuring he’d just go back to running the car wash. But that very night... he was gone. He was cremated immediately. We don’t even know how he died."

The corner of Qin Tianxuan’s eye twitched. "Did Brother Fei owe the association money?"

Tianhao shook his head fiercely. "How is that possible? We slaved away for the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association for so many years. We didn’t make any money; we even lost our own! It was just an excuse Young Master Du came up with!"

With that, he tremblingly took out a check and started to cry. "Brother Fei never used your money, not even at the end. He... he really didn’t have to do this."

The check Qin Tianxuan had given Brother Fei could be cashed at any time, for up to one hundred million.

But the check was completely blank.

Brother Tianhao looked up, his face covered in tears. "Brother Fei said that Mr. Qin showed him respect, but he couldn’t be so shameless. ’No reward without merit.’ He wanted to get the car wash running properly first, then he could join you openly and with his head held high."

Qin Tianxuan’s heart trembled. ’He never expected Brother Fei to have such principles.’

’Even in the world of the Jianghu, there are men of integrity.’

’Both Brother Fei and Brother Tianhao, as long as they walked the right path, they had a bright future ahead of them.’

’Unfortunately, when you’re in the Jianghu, you can’t always choose your own path.’

’This was aimed directly at me!’

’Old Fatty was a true man!’

Qin Tianxuan slowly placed the check in Tianhao’s hands. "Go and withdraw fifty million. Give it to Brother Fei’s family—I remember he had a wife and kids. The rest is for you to use!"

After speaking, he lowered his voice and said to Lingsu, "Go buy some incense and joss paper."

Lingsu silently went and bought the items for the offering.

Qin Tianxuan lit the incense, bowed silently, then turned around. "Tianhao, let’s go! To the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association!"
