Wu Haotian cleared his throat and said, “Now that everything has happened, we should try our best to make amends.

Xiao Ba did make a mistake, but if we kill him, wouldn’t we lose a good brother?

I suggest we let Xiao Ba find a way to make up for it.”

“He has committed murder, how can he make amends?

Even with amends, Third Brother won’t come back to life, will he?” Yan Bin said indignantly, clearly dissatisfied with the older brother’s words.

“What are your thoughts?” Sheng Wantao looked around at the others.

The rest nodded in agreement with Wu Haotian’s point of view.

Usually, Zhu Qingyuan was arrogant and dismissive of the others, and now only Yan Bin stood up for him.

“In that case, Xiao Ba, tell us how you plan to make amends?” Sheng Wantao said.

Seeing that everyone was starting to relent, Fang Kuohai said, “I’ll give each brother two million, and I’ll take over the Fang Yuan logistics that Third Brother left behind, 70% of the revenue will go to Godfather for a fair distribution.”

No one else spoke; after all, two million for free was something, not to mention the yearly income of Fang Yuan logistics was no small amount.

“No, Third Brother’s life was just worth two million?

I don’t agree,” Yan Bin stood up and said.

“Old Five, don’t be ungrateful.

Two million for each of you, and I have to shell out sixteen million in total, that’s all my savings.

How much do you think I can earn from a bar?” Fang Kuohai had already adopted a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, and if they didn’t agree, he was prepared not to offer even this much.

“Who was the one who made the stab?

In addition to the demands you’ve made, I also want the life of the one who wielded the knife,” Yan Bin said coldly.

At this, the others looked at Fang Kuohai, wanting to know who had wielded the knife initially.

Fang Kuohai, clenching his teeth, coldly stared at Yan Bin without speaking.

“It was me who did it,” Xiang Yu said leisurely, standing there.

He was worried Fang Kuohai would out him, which would ruin their relationship, and he wasn’t ready to break with Fang Kuohai just yet, as he still had uses for him in the future.

“Hmph!

I knew it was you, I’ve got your life in my sights,” Yan Bin sneered.

“This matter is settled then, Xiao Ba, do you have any objections?” Sheng Wantao said, his gaze leaving no room for doubt.

Just then, five men suddenly rushed over and surrounded Xiang Yu.

Seeing the situation escalate, Xiang Yu could not be bothered to think further and just casually took some peanuts from his pocket and started eating.

Now, it all depended on what Fang Kuohai would choose; if he remained silent, Xiang Yu wouldn’t mind killing a few and then escaping.

“Wow, what’s with the commotion today?” At that moment, a thirty-something-year-old woman in a red dress and curled hair, with a stunning figure, walked over from afar.

Despite not being as beautiful as Lan Tingting, her flirtatious demeanor with each smile and frown was captivating.

“Godmother!” a few people stood up and greeted her respectfully.

Only Yan Bin glanced over the woman’s body quickly, not hiding his lecherous nature.

The woman pretended not to notice Yan Bin’s gaze and leaned on the back of the chair behind Sheng Wantao, who quickly briefed her on the situation.

This woman was Kong Ruyu, Sheng Wantao’s mistress for the past two years, a former B-list actress.

“Ah, I see,” Kong Ruyu remarked after glancing at Xiang Yu, who looked relaxed and fearless, casually eating his peanuts.

Xiang Yu also quickly scanned Kong Ruyu and immediately sensed that she was no ordinary woman; she was likely Sheng Wantao’s unseen advisor.

“This young man is impressive, a real man.

It’d be a pity to kill him just like that.

Since Qingyuan is already dead, why not let him take Qingyuan’s place and see how it goes?

It might yield good results,” Kong Ruyu whispered to Sheng Wantao.

Although Kong Ruyu spoke softly, those nearby heard. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Her decision surprised them; Xiang Yu was just a bodyguard for Fang Kuohai, a disposable pawn.

To protect Fang Kuohai, they had to kill Xiang Yu.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s relaxed expression, they assumed he had already resolved to die and possibly had an agreement with Fang Kuohai—money for a life.

Even Sheng Wantao was taken aback by Kong Ruyu’s words.

He turned to look at his beauty, wondering why she would suggest such a thing.

Kong Ruyu had given him many good ideas in the past, and he trusted her.

“What did you say, have him take over Third Brother’s position?

I disagree!

If you don’t kill him here today, don’t blame me,” Yan Bin had wanted to see Xiang Yu beg for mercy, but Xiang Yu was neither scared nor perturbed, which disappointed him.

“Old Five, don’t be hasty.

We’re just temporarily placing him there.

If he doesn’t perform well, we can always kill him.

If he really has the ability, it’ll be a win for everyone to have their share,” Kong Ruyu said with a flirtatious smile.

The others nodded in agreement.

Fang Kuohai suddenly stood up and said, “I am willing to add an extra million for each person as a temporary price for his life.

If he doesn’t do well, you can deal with him.”

With no further objections from the rest, Zhu Qingyuan’s death not only brought them three million each but promised indefinite dividends in the future.

It was like they were dividing Zhu Qingyuan’s power amongst themselves, a situation they were only too happy to accept.

But Yan Bin still couldn’t swallow his pride; having been disarmed had hurt his ego, and though he had intended to kill Xiang Yu, he was now being appointed to Third Brother’s seat, which almost made him burst with frustration.

“Fine, since Xiao Ba has made such a significant concession, let’s allow this young man’s head to hang there for the time being.

But while the death penalty is unavoidable, the living penalty won’t be spared.

Bring forth the punishment,” Sheng Wantao shouted.

Seeing that things hadn’t reached the worst-case scenario, Xiang Yu stopped worrying and let them proceed.

The development was surprisingly smooth; he hadn’t expected to take over Zhu Qingyuan’s business this easily.

Yet he knew Kong Ruyu wasn’t a simple woman, and he’d have to be cautious around her.

She had placed him in this position not because of his ability but surely for other reasons.

About a few minutes later, the five men around Xiang Yu suddenly grabbed hold of him.

Xiang Yu did not resist, as long as he survived unmaimed today, it would be a success.

Then a man with a glowing-hot iron approached.

“Xiang Yu, you’ve heard what’s been said.

From today, you’ll take over Fang Yuan Company, but you must also accept this punishment, do you agree?” Sheng Wantao took the iron and said loudly.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu suddenly burst into laughter.

“Come on then…”
