Is it time to have a feast in Chapter 12?
Just as Ye Tian had predicted.
When Lei Lu's severed hand was sent over, Lei Yushan finally couldn't hold back anymore.
At this moment, Lei Yushan even hated Lei Tang. Wasn't he supposed to bring Lei Lu back? But a whole night passed and no news came. Instead, he learned that his son's hand had been chopped off.
"Guards! Guards!"
He practically screamed as he summoned the servants from the mansion.
He had the money prepared and packed into several large boxes. Since Ye Tian hadn't specified how much money he wanted, Lei Yushan could only prepare the extra amount. Lei Yushan was truly willing to spend money for his son.
Ye Tian had arranged for people to secretly monitor the area around Lei Yushan's residence. After discovering this commotion, Ye Tian smiled with satisfaction.
They immediately sent people over to negotiate.
,,,
The transaction took place in the evening.
At an empty dock in the west of the city, Lei Yushan didn't come, probably because he was afraid of something happening to him. Instead, it was the steward from Lei Yushan's mansion who came, followed by several servants who were pulling several money boxes in a carriage.
Looking at Ye Tian and his group, they were all burly and wore masks.
He couldn't help but swallow hard, but he suppressed his fear and said loudly.
"Our master has already prepared the money, so please release the young master immediately."
Ye Tian didn't say anything, he just waved his hand.
The men behind him brought out Lei Lu, who was gagged, disheveled, and weak.
"Young Master!"
The butler couldn't help but gasp in surprise. With one ear and one hand missing, Lei Lu looked incredibly miserable.
"Mmm!"
Upon seeing that it was a familiar person, Lei Lu immediately tried to shout a few times, but unfortunately his mouth was gagged and he couldn't say anything at all.
"We need to inspect the goods first."
Although he was afraid that these people would go back on their word, the steward did not dare to refuse directly, so he could only wave his hand to signal the people behind him to drag the carriage forward.
The people behind Ye Tian walked over and opened several of the boxes. They were filled with neatly stacked silver ingots. If all the boxes were full of silver ingots, then the quantity was quite large, at least tens of thousands of taels.
This is a job I can do regularly in the future.
"Drag it away!"
Ye Tian didn't waste any words and directly ordered his men to tow the carriage away.
"Wait, release our young master first."
The butler quickly said something when the money was about to be taken away.
"Don't worry, we are very principled in our work."
Ye Tian grabbed Lei Lu by the collar and pulled him out.
"However, I didn't say whether to release them alive or dead."
"!"
What does that mean?
The next moment, Ye Tian drew the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into Lei Lu's neck.
"Hmm!"
The struggle intensified, but unfortunately, it was completely meaningless under Ye Tian's power.
"Go back and tell Lei Tang that this is the price for offending our Earth Dragon Gang."
Done.
Regardless of their reactions, he left with his men and the carriage loaded with money.
"Young...Young Master!"
They couldn't stop Ye Tian and the others from leaving at all.
The butler stared in disbelief at Lei Lu's corpse. It was all over.
"What should we do!"
"The master will definitely kill us."
The servants behind him panicked, and someone suggested that they run out of Linshui City directly.
but.
"Our indentures are still with the master, how can we run away?"
These people believed that no matter how they ran, they would eventually be caught. The steward was sweating profusely, but he still mustered his strength and had someone carry Lei Lu's body back to the mansion.
Meanwhile, on Lei Yushan's side...
Upon receiving news of Lei Lu's death, he immediately fainted.
When he woke up, he saw the steward speaking with tears streaming down his face.
"Master, it's all my fault. I'm sorry to the young master. If I could have stopped him from joining the Blackwater Gang, he wouldn't have been implicated and wouldn't have been resented by the Earth Dragon Gang."
She cried so hard it was heartbreaking.
Lei Yushan, who was originally filled with anger, suddenly realized something.
"What did you say? What do you mean by being implicated and resented by the Earth Dragon Gang?"
"master!"
While crying, the housekeeper told Lei Yushan what Ye Tian had said last.
Then his face was filled with sorrow.
"There were too many of them, all from the Earth Dragon Gang. It was a lot of trouble for us to bring the young master's body back. Master, you can ask the servants who went with him; they all saw it too."
Clearly, the butler had already spoken with those people beforehand and knew what to say and what not to say.
Only by diverting Lei Yushan's anger can they have a chance to survive.
These days, if you owe someone a contract of servitude, even if you're beaten to death by your master, nobody will say anything. Besides, in Linshui City, the government doesn't care at all, so there's nowhere to file a complaint.
"The Earth Dragon Gang! Lei Tang!"
really.
Lei Yushan not only hated the Earth Dragon Gang, but also Lei Tang.
Is this how you take care of your son? Your son is so well-behaved, he must have been implicated by Lei Tang. Those people can't get revenge on Lei Tang, so they're taking it out on your son.
It was clear that Lei Yushan was planning to disregard everything for revenge.
The butler quickly said.
"Please calm down, sir. Our bank still relies on your brother in many ways."
"..."
This is the price of being rich but powerless. Without connections, money is useless; it only becomes someone else's money bag.
Realizing this, Lei Yushan seemed to age ten years in an instant, and his energy vanished.
"You may all leave now. The mansion will be closed for the time being, and no one will be seen."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing this, the butler felt much more relaxed and left after responding.
,,,
"Big brother!"
Lei Tang was just getting on his nerves when Wang Hu brought him news of Lei Lu's death.
"Bang!"
Unable to control his temper, Lei Tang kicked over the table in front of him.
"Damn it, this is a frame-up! When did I ever offend the Earth Dragon Gang?"
Even if I were brainless, I wouldn't casually offend the Earth Dragon Gang.
"That idiot Lei Yushan, he wouldn't actually believe it, would he? Where is he now?"
"Brother, I heard that Lei Yushan fainted on the spot after receiving news of Lei Lu's death, and has been ill ever since. He has now closed his residence and is not receiving any visitors."
"..."
Lei Tang knew.
Given how much Lei Yushan loves this son, it's not surprising that he would react this way.
just.
"grass!"
Completely unsure how to vent his anger, Lei Tang could only let out a loud curse.
,,,
Although Lei Tang intended to suppress the news, many people still learned of Lei Lu's death.
The next day, Ye Tian, who was learning to read with Mei Yongning, couldn't help but shake his head after hearing the news from others.
"It's a pity he died so young. Such a short-lived wretch should never be in a gang again in his next life."
"..."
Mei Yongning looked up at Ye Tian, but ultimately said nothing.
"By the way, Lei Lu is dead. Can we go to the feast now?"
"Attending a banquet?"
Mei Yongning looked over curiously, seemingly not understanding what Ye Tian meant by "attending a banquet."
