Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 196: The Main Course is Indeed Delicious (7)

"12 million in cash, I can’t decide on that, I need to ask the boss above."

"Fine, if your boss refuses, I’ll just throw him in front of the boss of the Skyfire Association."

Brother Bin was completely speechless.

"Big brother, I’m just the nominal boss of this internet cafe, can’t decide on such a huge amount like 12 million, and we don’t necessarily have to take over Brother Cai’s IOU. Plus, the Skyfire Association will surely send people to take over once they know Gaofei Internet Cafe is in trouble, they won’t let it transfer to us. Big brother, be reasonable, you can’t punish us just for this."

"Folks like you who run internet cafes always have another set of business behind the scenes. At Feiyang, there’s online gambling and an underground bank, while at Gaofei, you sell banned items online, recruiting underage kids as younger brothers to deliver goods."

"Right..." Brother Bin didn’t ask how the big shot knew, now that it was mentioned, admitting it was the way to go.

Ye Nai took out the recording Brother Cai had given with the full path of the contraband, who is online, the delivery times, and the delivery routes, all crystal clear.

Brother Bin’s ears perked up when he heard it, flames kindling in his heart.

He wanted in on this business!

"Big shot, did the Skyfire Association offend you?"

"Don’t worry about it. I’ve given you the intel, and taking my intel means paying up, otherwise you and the boss behind you will become my gift to the Skyfire Association."

Brother Bin sighed, his facial features all wrinkled together.

"The day after tomorrow, Wednesday night, just leave the cash in the office, no need to hide it, my people will come get it."

Ye Nai didn’t waste time haggling, stated her demands, then pulled the person into Space and went straight back to the bed under the office on the third floor of Feiyang Internet Cafe.

There was no one in the resting room, but there were soft voices from the office outside.

Ye Nai didn’t care what they were talking about, and let Fungus from Space lick Brother Bin from head to toe to remove any traces he’d picked up while hanging from the vehicle, then left him under the bed to naturally wake up after half an hour.

Then, Ye Nai left.

In the middle of the night, it was time to sleep.

She went to bed at ease. When Brother Bin woke up under the bed, he thought he’d been moved to another place of captivity.

When he realized he could move and cautiously crawled out from under the bed, he finally understood he was in the resting room of his own internet cafe.

Brother Bin stood in front of the full-length mirror to check himself over. His clothes were spotless without any visible marks, sending a chill down his spine for a moment.

But there was no time to think further; he hurried outside.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two of his brawny subordinates not occupying the long sofa, preferring to squeeze together on a single-seat sofa.

They both stood up in surprise at Brother Bin’s appearance, while his trusted aide who had been monitoring the surveillance from behind his desk dropped the computer and sprinted over.

"Brother Bin, were you inside this whole time? We’ve been looking everywhere for you, and you didn’t bring your phone. Something’s happened outside!"

"Don’t talk about that; just thinking about it gives me the creeps."

"...Huh?!" The three subordinates were all stunned simultaneously.

"When you say something happened outside, let me guess, is it Brother Cai from Gaofei Internet Cafe?"

"Yes! Not just Brother Cai, but also his girlfriend and that guy surnamed Sun who was the bouncer. All three of them are dead!"

"All three? Not just Brother Cai and his wife?"

"No! Three of them, sitting right on this long sofa. That Brother Cai was even naked, people who came in got a shock, touched him, and he was ice cold; scared everyone sick, they thought it was haunted! Now no one dares sit here!"

"...Eh? You just mentioned hauntings too, Brother Bin?!"

Brother Bin wiped his face hard.

"Don’t overthink, and it’s not about ghosts, a big shot came to settle a personal grudge."

"What?! A personal grudge? Dumping the bodies at our place for us to deal with?"

"Eh?! No, wait! With Brother Cai and that Sun guy dead, wouldn’t Gaofei Internet Cafe have no one in charge? Shouldn’t we take advantage of this?"

"Of course, we have to seize the opportunity; what else would I have come back for?" Brother Bin patted his confidant on the shoulder, "Inform the big boss up top, while the Skyfire Association is unstable internally, it’s time to try and take over Gaofei Internet Cafe."

"Ei, ei, yessir!"

"Also, that big shot demands twelve million in cash."

The confidant, who had just taken out his phone, let it slip, and the phone thudded onto the floor.

"No way, Brother Bin, you’re not kidding, right?"

Brother Bin gave the three of them a glance, his expression extremely serious.

The three underlings straightened up a bit more.

"Let me tell you, I was just sitting behind the desk watching the monitors when I got taken away; at the same time, they dumped the bodies of Brother Cai and the other two. What did you think?"

"..." The three underlings gasped in shock, "Someone just took Brother Bin right under our noses; this is a true big shot!"

"Mama mia, I’ve hit the jackpot, I encountered a big shot!"

"No wonder we couldn’t find Brother Bin after discovering the bodies no matter where we looked."

"Yeah, do you remember where you were taken, Brother Bin? Can we find that place?"

"I don’t know where I was taken; they might have drugged me, I couldn’t control my limbs at first, but later on, when I could move my hands, I felt metal beneath me, couldn’t touch anything around, and it was very dark all around with just a faint yellow light in front of me."

Brother Bin remembered the strong animal stench too, but he didn’t say it for fear his men would think he was locked in a container used for transporting animals.

So, he chose to hide it, to avoid damaging his image.

Then, he turned a circle in front of his men.

"Take a close look at my clothes, do you see any rust or anything like that?"

In the heat of a summer’s day, Brother Bin usually dressed in light colors, which made dirt and stains noticeable; after a careful inspection, by his men, they all shook their heads.

"Brother Bin, your clothes are pretty clean, just a bit wrinkled, nothing else."

Brother Bin sighed, "But I was indeed taken away, and the three bodies that appeared here you all saw for yourselves."

The underlings nodded vigorously like pounding garlic.

"Oh right, where are the bodies?"

"Stored in the usual place."

"Take me to have a look, as a farewell to old rivals."

The underlings immediately led Brother Bin downstairs to the basement, also ensuring that everyone in the internet cafe saw that Brother Bin had reappeared.

As he made his way down to the basement, rumors that Brother Bin’s office was haunted intensified.

In the basement, there was a commercial walk-in refrigerator, also known as a mini cold storage, suited for villas and upscale restaurants.

The refrigerator at Feiyang Internet Cafe mostly stored cold drinks, which were craved by the guests engrossed in intense online battles upstairs—products of their heat and thirst. Occasionally, it was used for other purposes.

Such a large refrigerator fit not only beverages but also had enough room for two or three bodies, allowing for passage.

Now, the bodies of Brother Cai and his two companions were inside the refrigerator.

Seeing their attire, Brother Bin didn’t need to guess—they were taken from their homes, especially Brother Cai, who was stark naked.

"I think the big shot was quite polite to me, at least he didn’t ambush me while I was taking a shower." Brother Bin felt a sense of relief, thankful indeed.

"Absolutely, absolutely!" What else could his men do but agree?

"Have someone take them away, dispose of them as usual, the big shot was right; we are professionals when it comes to cleaning up." Brother Bin took a photo of the three together with his phone, then instructed.

"Yes, Brother Bin."
