章節 44: Chapter 44：The Tides Turn
In Tietzu's secret room, he was handcuffed to a radiator, looking dejected. Liu Mei, still shaken, asked Lin Xiaoliang, "How did you get here?"
Lin Xiaoliang smiled mysteriously, "I feared you couldn't handle this alone."
"But how did you know I was here?" Liu Mei's voice was filled with curiosity.
"With my connections, I can find out a lot," Lin Xiaoliang boasted, shaking his head smugly. Liu Mei asked in a low voice, "Does your second brother know?"
"Guess," Lin Xiaoliang's smile grew more mysterious, "Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't." Liu Mei's face showed a mix of disappointment and hope. She wanted to ask more, but Lin Xiaoliang, annoyed, said, "If you ask again, I'm leaving." He turned to Tietzu, spinning his gun like a cowboy in a Western, "Let's take care of this scumbag."
Tietzu looked at Liu Mei in terror.
She walked up to him, "For what you've done, you deserve to die ten times over!"
Hearing a glimmer of hope in her voice, Tietzu quickly said, "I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" Liu Mei whispered something in Lin Xiaoliang's ear, and he nodded. She unlocked Tietzu's handcuffs, "Alright, I'll plead for you, but you must make up for your crimes."
Tietzu, overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, "I'll do anything, be a dog, be a sheep, whatever you want!"
Liu Mei tapped his forehead, "With your behavior, being a dog or a sheep in your next life would be lucky." She looked him in the eye, "Help us deal with Yang Chun."
Tietzu, filled with hatred, said, "Even if you didn't ask, I would. He nearly ruined my fortune goddess!"
Liu Mei began giving orders, "Go calm him down first. I'll be down shortly." Lin Xiaoliang pointed his gun at Tietzu, "No tricks, my men are everywhere." Tietzu nodded and left.
"Why not kill him? He's a scumbag," Lin Xiaoliang said regretfully.
"In business, the key is in and out. If we kill him, where will we get ephedrine?" Lin Xiaoliang clenched his gun, "Then let's kill Yang Chun. I came all this way and haven't had my fill of shooting yet!"
Liu Mei gave him a reproachful look, "All you think about is killing."
Lin Xiaoliang pointed to the ceiling, "They say, spend money like water, kill like flies!"
"When spending money doesn't work, then it's time to kill," Liu Mei said, having tidied her torn clothes.
"Keeping Yang Chun around is a disaster," Lin Xiaoliang remarked.
Liu Mei, displaying a leader's poise, said, "They also say, enemies can't be killed off completely; some must be recruited. You kill Yang Qiu, Yang Chun comes. Kill Yang Chun, Yang Xia and Yang Dong will follow. But if you win him over, you gain an ally."
Lin Xiaoliang laughed, "Sister, you truly are today's Wang Zhaojun beyond the Yang Pass. Impressive! Impressive!" They left the secret room together...
Downstairs, Yang Chun sat at an Eight Immortals table, nervously watching the staircase. He muttered, "Damn it, are they done yet?" He stabbed his knife into a lamb leg.
Tietzu wobbled down the stairs in a fresh set of clothes. Yang Chun eagerly asked, "Brother Tietzu, how was it?"
Tietzu smacked his lips, "Fresh! Tender!"
Yang Chun, smug, said, "I told you so!"
Tietzu shouted, "Bring the wine and food!"
Two men responded immediately, standing by with their hands at their sides.
Tietzu ordered, "Bring the wine and food!"
The two men quickly responded, "Yes! Bring the wine and food!" They bowed and left.
Tietzu then turned to the staircase and shouted, "Miss Liu, please join us!"
Liu Mei gracefully descended the stairs, her gaze like rippling spring water settling on Yang Chun. He stared, then glanced at Tietzu. Tietzu stood and respectfully saluted Liu Mei, "Please, Miss Liu, take the head seat." Liu Mei confidently sat at the head of the table. Two men brought roasted lamb and large jugs of wine and stood by. Liu Mei, in a flirtatious manner, turned to Yang Chun, "Brother Yang, may I enjoy my last supper?"
Yang Chun, stunned, looked at Liu Mei and then at Tietzu.
Tietzu, with utmost respect, said, "Please, enjoy."
Liu Mei looked at the dumbfounded Yang Chun, "Brother Yang, I can't start without your approval."
Yang Chun seemed to understand, but still asked Tietzu, "Brother Tietzu, what's going on?"
Tietzu raised an eyebrow, "The temperature difference here is huge. In the afternoon, we eat watermelon, and at night, we hug the heater."
Yang Chun asked, "Brother Tietzu, have you forgotten about our friendship for this woman?"
Tietzu ignored him, focused on carving out the lamb's eye and brain with a boning knife.
Yang Chun reached for his gun but was swiftly grabbed and tied to a pillar by the two men. He struggled and cursed, "Tietzu, you bastard! You forgot how I saved you from the police! You value our brotherhood less than a slut's dirty pants! You'll regret this!" He struggled and shouted for a long time, but seeing no reaction from Tietzu, who was focused on his lamb, Yang Chun sighed deeply and dropped his head.
Tietzu, face greasy from lamb, slowly said, "You're right. I betray friends for lust and money. That's me. Whoever feeds me is my mother."
"You're a despicable scoundrel!" Yang Chun growled through clenched teeth.
Tietzu responded, "Who lives on the edge if they're not?"
"I was blind!" Yang Chun cursed.
Tietzu looked at the trembling lamb's eye, "I've eaten many lamb eyes but never a human eye!" Yang Chun's face twitched with fear.
Tietzu swallowed the lamb eye whole, then stood up and walked to Yang Chun, raising the sharp knife. Yang Chun closed his eyes.
"Wait!" Liu Mei's sharp cry halted Tietzu's knife in mid-air. Yang Chun opened his eyes.
