Chapter 75: Lei Yushan Residence — Lei Tang Is Furious

~7 min read 1,393 words

After saying that, Gold Coin Rat's expression turned ashamed.

He seemed very worried that Ye Tian would look down on him.

After all, in the jianghu, thieves had always been at the very bottom of the contempt chain; it seemed everyone looked down on those who lived by petty theft. This book is first published on Read Novels, read novels every day at ttxs. tw, super worry-free, providing you with a flawless chapter, no out-of-order chapter reading experience.

"Hahahaha!"

But just because others thought that way didn't mean Ye Tian would too.

Someone skilled at theft, nimble in movement, and also a doctor — this was simply a double gold.

"How could I look down on you? Since you've come to work with me, you're my brother. Don't worry, how could I possibly look down on my own brother?"

"Boss!"

One sentence moved Gold Coin Rat's face to deep gratitude.

His burning, resolute gaze seemed as if he wished right now he could lay down his life for Ye Tian, willing to die in the line of duty.

"Right, you just said you can spread the news into Lei Tang's ears without a sound — are you confident?"

Ye Tian hadn't forgotten what had just happened.

"Boss, don't worry."

Seeing that business was being discussed, Gold Coin Rat immediately became much more serious, a little proud.

"Other things I may not be able to do, but after stealing for so many years, I've never once been caught, and I'm best at blending into crowds — I definitely won't be discovered."

If it were other matters, he might not be able to do it.

But in this area alone, Gold Coin Rat was truly brimming with confidence.

"Good, good, good!"

With Gold Coin Rat's personal confirmation, Ye Tian smiled even more satisfied.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let me down."

"Boss, just wait and see!"

This was the first thing he was doing for Ye Tian, and Gold Coin Rat didn't want any accidents.

"Oh right!"

At this moment, thinking of something, Ye Tian continued.

"Since you have such a skill, don't let it go to waste. From now on, help me gather all kinds of jianghu news around Linshui City."

It was just right — he was most short on this type of manpower under him.

"Understood!"

Gold Coin Rat nodded seriously, without saying more.

After giving a few more instructions, Ye Tian took his leave. As for Mu Zhou, he was temporarily arranged by Ye Tian to stay in his own residence, and the ten Primary Loyalty members, since there weren't many of them, were arranged by Ye Tian into the newly built martial hall.

Just right — they could go learn a few skills.

"Let's go, it's time to see Lei Yushan!"

Since everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged, Ye Tian naturally had to go meet Lei Yushan.

And this time, Ye Tian planned to bring only Mei Yongning alone.

,,,

Just as Ye Tian had thought.

Lei Tang's recent days had truly been too difficult.

Even though Lei Tang had sealed off the news in advance, the events of that day still leaked out. Even though Lei Tang kept denying it, the people under him had all begun to suspect this Head Boss, Lei Tang.

Chi Hu had long been dissatisfied, and the other Fist Masters, because of this matter, had rarely come back to see Lei Tang.

At this moment, Lei Tang had truly become a lone man without a single ally.

Actually, this kind of matter wasn't hard to solve. Everyone was in the jianghu for money — as long as Lei Tang handed over the territory Wang Hu originally managed, those people would still obey as before.

But after Lei Yun died.

Lei Tang had directly seized those territories tightly in his own hands, not even letting his subordinates have a sip of soup.

Under such circumstances, who could still sincerely help you do things?

"What did you say!"

Gold Coin Rat truly hadn't let Ye Tian down. Just as Ye Tian went to find Lei Yushan.

The very next moment, Lei Tang's side received the rumor.

He immediately roared out loud.

Perhaps precisely because they were brothers, Lei Tang understood Lei Yushan even better. At this time, seeking out Ye Tian — apart from wanting to rope in another backer, there was no other possibility.

"Damned cur."

His entire face twisted up because of rage.

If it weren't for him, Lei Yushan's Lei Ji Money House couldn't have gotten off the ground at all. Now, he had only suffered a temporary setback, and already Lei Yushan was planning to abandon him and throw in his lot elsewhere.

Perhaps Lei Yushan only sought out Ye Tian as insurance.

But Lei Tang didn't care about all that — he had already decided this was a betrayal of himself.

"M-m-master!"

The servant who had brought back the news, upon seeing Lei Tang in such a furious state, was also full of terror, and hurriedly said in a trembling voice.

"This lowly one only heard people outside spreading it that way."

Whether it was actually true or not, the servant didn't dare to guarantee.

"Hmph!"

There's no smoke without fire — Lei Tang's gaze was sinister.

"Go. Have people watch Lei Yushan's residence, and buy off the servants in Lei Yushan's household. No matter what method it takes, I must get the most accurate information."

"Understood! Understood!"

Not daring to retort, the servant hurriedly walked away after agreeing repeatedly.

Lei Tang's face darkened, and a fierce glint flashed through his eyes.

,,,,

"Nephew!"

By the time Ye Tian, bringing Mei Yongning with him, arrived at Lei Yushan's residence, Lei Yushan had already been waiting for quite a while.

He immediately came forward to greet them with a face full of smiles.

"There were too many affairs in the gang, so I couldn't rush over right away. I hope Uncle Lei won't take offense."

Ye Tian smiled just as politely.

"Whatever are you saying, nephew."

"A real man should put his career first. It should be said that it's this uncle's fault for not contacting you sooner."

While speaking,

he also led Ye Tian toward the inner courtyard. This was Ye Tian's first time at Lei Yushan's residence. True to being a money-house owner, he was wealthy—every decoration in the courtyard exuded opulence.

After entering the inner courtyard, Ye Tian also noticed a girl, about his own age, sitting not far away.

Her looks were outstanding; between her brows there was none of the usual feminine frailty, but rather a few touches of a unique heroic air. Even in an ordinary coarse-cloth outfit, she could hardly conceal her striking figure.

She was none other than Lei Yushan's daughter, Lei Yan.

While Ye Tian was sizing up Lei Yan, Lei Yan was also looking at Ye Tian.

Honestly, upon seeing Ye Tian, Lei Yan was quite surprised. In her impression, most gang members were full of stubble and looked all sorts of strange; someone as handsome as Ye Tian was definitely rare.

'No wonder he's called Yù Gōngzǐ.'

She muttered a remark to herself inside.

It was Lei Yushan, however, whose face darkened upon seeing Lei Yan.

"Where are the new clothes I told you to change into?"

Today was meant to introduce his daughter to Ye Tian, so Lei Yushan had naturally prepared quite a few pretty clothes, hoping Lei Yan would dress up nicely.

Yet here she still was in that coarse-cloth outfit.

"I don't like any of those clothes."

Hearing Lei Yushan say that, Lei Yan looked back without the slightest fear.

"I don't like those accessories either. I just like this outfit."

The fact that she could sit here and not leave directly was already quite something. Moreover, Lei Yan truly didn't like those things—especially some accessories that wobbled about when walking.

They were terribly inconvenient when fighting.

"You!"

"Ahem, Uncle Lei need not get angry."

With such a posture, it looked as if a fight were about to break out.

Ye Tian cleared his throat and offered a word of comfort.

"Things like clothes and accessories depend on the wearer's mood. If one doesn't like them, then no matter how precious the items, there's no point in wearing them."
