“I give them quite a lot. Nearly half of the Zhou Clan Chamber of Commerce’s annual profits are distributed to these brothers.” Zhou Kunsheng said calmly, “Doing legitimate business may earn less money, but it means you don’t have to risk your lives.”

"I don't earn a lot of money, but it's definitely not a small amount. I can go back to my wife and kids and have a warm bed. The money is earned honestly and uprightly. I don't have to worry about being arrested by the police in my sleep one day. Isn't that good?"

“Okay, that’s good,” Zhou Minggan said through gritted teeth, “but brother, what is the purpose of life?”

"Life is short, and I don't want to live a comfortable life. Since I've come into this world, I'm going to live it to the fullest."

"How do you want to live?" Zhou Kunsheng glanced at his younger brother, but he already knew the answer in his heart.

“Yun City is more than 300 kilometers away from the border. It borders Jinluo City to the southwest and faces the Golden Triangle to the east on the other side.”

Zhou Minggan slammed his cup on the table: "We have all the advantages here. If we open the floodgates, firstly, we can let drugs from Jinluo City in, and secondly, we can do human trafficking, sending pigs to northern Myanmar..."

"This is a highly profitable business. By linking up with the two surrounding cities, our Zhou can become the king of China's underworld. Isn't that great?"

Zhou Kunsheng stared at Zhou Minggan with a sharp look in his eyes, but this time Zhou Minggan was not guilty. He met his older brother's gaze and looked him in the eye.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Zhou Kunsheng said coldly, "Drugs have ruined countless families, causing deaths and separations."

"Those industries in northern Myanmar send people there, and they're called 'coolies.' But do you know what happens to them? They're forced to cheat, sold off when they're no longer of any use, or sent to ships in international waters to have their organs auctioned off in public."

Zhou Kunsheng clenched his fists tightly and slammed them heavily on the table: "He's utterly depraved. I'm powerless to change these things, but I won't allow anyone around me to touch them, especially you."

"Big brother..." Zhou Minggan remained silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Do you know how many opportunities we've missed over the years?"

“In my opinion, those things don’t count as opportunities.” Zhou Kunsheng shook his head, staring at Zhou Kunsheng with a warning look: “As long as I’m here, don’t even think about having those kinds of thoughts. Otherwise, even if you’re my brother, I still won’t let you off the hook.”

Zhou Minggan stared at Zhou Kunsheng, then suddenly laughed, a sinister glint in his eyes behind his glasses: "So, brother, is this your final decision?"

“That’s right, this is my final decision,” Zhou Kunsheng said coldly. “With me here, you can forget about touching these things.”

“Minggan, the reason we are at ease is because we do business honestly. You know the situation in China. If we really get involved in these things, our Zhou family will soon be wiped out,” Zhou Kunsheng advised.

"Hehe, brother, is that really the case?" Zhou Ming downed a glass of wine in one gulp.

Then he sneered, "That's not the case. If you want to do this kind of business, we have countless ways to circumvent the police."

“But you don’t want that. You just want to stay here and die with your little business, but…” He slammed the cup he was holding onto the table.

With a crash, his wine glass shattered in his palm, the shards of glass cutting his hand.

"I don't want to go on like this anymore. I want to take control of Yun City, open up several dedicated lines, and then grow bigger and stronger to become the underground king of China."

Zhou Minggan was emotionally agitated; his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed like a madman: "I want to be the emperor..."

As the cup shattered, a dark mass of people suddenly appeared behind him, armed with weapons and clearly up to no good.

The leader was bald, with a deep scar running across his face, giving him the look of a desperate criminal. He was nicknamed "Madman" and was a staunch subordinate of Zhou Minggan.

"I think you've gone mad." Zhou Kunsheng looked at him coldly: "What will you do if I disagree? Kill me?"

“You are my elder brother, I will not kill you.” Zhou Minggan shook his head: “If it weren’t for you, I, Zhou Minggan, would not be where I am today. I, Zhou Minggan, am certainly not an ungrateful person.”

"I will find a beautiful place where you can enjoy your old age in peace. Brother, don't blame me for being heartless. For the future of the Zhou family, I have no other choice."

"Are you really doing this for the future of the Zhou family? You're only doing it for your own selfish desires. You'll ruin the Zhou family by doing this." Zhou Kunsheng said coldly, "Second brother, I'll give you one more chance. Let your people leave, and we'll still be brothers."

"Heh, are we still brothers? Things have come to this point, can we go back to the way things were before? You'll kill me, I know you." Zhou Ming laughed dryly.

“If you had attacked me directly, or if your answer hadn’t met my expectations, I would have killed you.” Zhou Kunsheng took a deep breath. “But you didn’t. You said you would find a place for me to spend my old age in peace, which makes me very happy.”

“Although you are insane, you have not lost the last bit of humanity, so I will not kill you. I will find a place to lock you up and provide you with good food and drink for the rest of your life.”

"Brother, I've taken care of everyone here. Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?" Zhou Minggan sneered, "Madman."

"Second Master, I'm here." The madman stepped forward, his cold eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Take my eldest brother away, lock him up and take good care of him. From now on, I will be in charge of the Zhou family." Zhou Ming laughed heartily, his laughter bordering on madness and hysteria.

"Do you think you've succeeded?" Zhou Kunsheng's icy voice rang out.

The next second, the madman turned the gun in his hand and pressed it against Zhou Minggan's head.

Zhou Minggan's laughter stopped abruptly, as if a crowing duck had been suddenly choked.

"You madman, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Zhou Ming shouted.

"You call me a madman, so isn't it normal for me to do something crazy?" The madman sneered, "I've always been the boss's man."

"You bastard! I've treated you well all these years, why did you betray me?" Zhou Minggan hissed.

"I've already said, I've always been your man, there's no question of betrayal," the madman said calmly. "Without you, I would have been dead long ago."

"You've treated me well all these years, but I'm sorry, you can't go against me."

"Okay, okay... Brother, did you arrange all of this beforehand?" Zhou Ming asked in a trembling voice.

“Second brother, you are very smart, and your academic performance has been excellent since you were a child.” Zhou Kunsheng sighed, “And since the establishment of the Zhou Clan Chamber of Commerce, you have made no attempt to hide your ambition.”
