"Jiang Fei, A Long, where are they being held?"

"Young Master Chen, please wait here for a moment. I'll have someone bring them over."

At this moment, Chen Dong walked into a detention room, which was similar to the interrogation room seen on television.

After a moment, Jiang Fei and A Long, wearing handcuffs and shackles, slowly walked in, led by two guards.

“It’s you.”

"You've come to see us brothers make a fool of ourselves." The moment Jiang Fei saw Chen Dong, his eyes narrowed instantly, filled with hatred.

Ah Long wasn't much better off, but compared to Jiang Fei, he lowered his head in shame the moment he met Chen Dong's gaze. Despite his boastful pronouncements about fighting Chen Dong behind his back, he chickened out when they actually faced each other, because he had no idea how to confront Chen Dong.

"Behave yourself." One of the guards slammed his rubber baton on the table, making a loud "bang."

The two visibly trembled upon hearing the voice.

Seeing this, Chen Dong seemed to be deep in thought; it seemed that the two of them had suffered a lot inside.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. What kind of people are locked up inside? They can do all sorts of evil things, like murder, arson, and robbery. Petty theft and molestation of women are just child's play in a detention center.

Although Jiang Fei and A Long were hoodlums, they had been living a life of luxury for the past few years and had probably long forgotten the bloodshed and turmoil of the underworld. Therefore, it was not easy for them to have a good time inside.

"Sit down," the guard shouted again.

Upon hearing this, the two quickly sat down in their chairs.

Chen Dong watched this scene with amusement, unable to describe his feelings—a mix of sadness, relief, and a sense of injustice.

"Young Master Chen, everything is arranged. You can talk to them. We'll be outside. If you need anything, just let us know."

Chen Dong nodded, thanked the two men, and gave Wolong a look. The latter immediately understood and followed the two guards out, casually handing them two sealed envelopes.

Seeing this, Chen Dong turned his gaze back to the two of them and asked, "Are you both alright?"

"Dong, Brother Dong."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Isn't this more likely to make you wish? Ah Long, can't you have some backbone?"

"I..." Ah Long trailed off, his eyes avoiding Chen Dong's gaze.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong sighed, "Why bother?"

"Chen Dong, stop pretending to be compassionate like Guanyin. Who are you trying to fool with your hypocrisy? Don't you two brothers know what kind of person you are?"

Jiang Fei's voice was hoarse as he glared angrily at Chen Dong, then said, "We admit defeat today because we've fallen into your hands, but what else do you want from me? Dream on."

“Ah Long, you should have some backbone. Think about how he treated us before.”

As he spoke, Jiang Fei nudged Ah Long with his body, signaling him to express his opinion.

"Brother Fei, Brother Dong." Ah Long looked at Jiang Fei, then secretly glanced at Chen Dong, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Chen Dong, we did it. Do whatever you want with us."

"Actually, from the day you chose to betray me, you stopped caring about me. The only reason I still see you is to ask you two, Ah Hu, what did he do wrong this time? Why did you treat him like this? Have you lost your conscience?"

Towards the end, Chen Dong practically shouted it out.

Jiang Fei said with a disdainful expression, "That's what he deserves. I've always treated him like a brother, but that idiot actually refused to go against you no matter what. I'm so confused. What did you put into him to make this kid so obsessed?"

"I think you're the one who's truly bewitched," Chen Dong said through gritted teeth.

The Jiang Fei before him was no longer the Jiang Fei who had worked with him before. In fact, in his eyes, he was a hundred times more ruthless than when he first met him. He didn't even spare his own brother who had grown up with him. He had simply been blinded by greed.

"No, I just want to take back what belongs to me. Is that wrong?" Jiang Fei was instantly enraged by these words and said emotionally, "You, Chen Dong, are so self-righteous and capable. You just give away the money we worked so hard to earn. I, Jiang Fei, don't even have the right to say a word."

"The three of us risked our lives for you, fought for your empire, and what are Hua Zi and Lin Zhiyuan anyway? In the end, the three of us only owned a tiny fraction of the company's shares. Why? Tell me, why?"

"Do you like money that much?" At this point, Chen Dong sighed deeply and continued, "In your eyes, Hua Zi and Lin Zhiyuan got shares for no reason without putting in any effort. Let me tell you, you are very wrong to think that way."

Chen Dong stared at the two men, his face expressionless, and said, "Where did you get your first pot of gold?"

The two remained silent. Chen Dong sneered, "It was earned from me and Hua Zi. You haven't forgotten about the tea eggs, have you? Who forced us to hand over 30% of the profits? It was you. Am I right, Fei, brother?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Fei looked up and met Chen Dong’s gaze. He continued, “But they were my brothers too. You can deny that, can you?”

Chen Dong scoffed at this, "You know better than I what would have happened to me if I hadn't done this."

"As for Lin Zhiyuan, without the route provided by my brother-in-law, do you think you could have snowballed your funds? At the rate you spend money, I don't need to say more, the little money you've earned will probably be gone in less than a month."

Jiang Fei sneered, "Fine, even if they both deserve credit, let me ask you this: all the money my brothers and I earned was handed over to you. That's a lot of money, isn't it? But what did you give us three brothers in return? 5% of the shares. Chen Dong, it's truly laughable how you behave."

"Hahahaha..." Chen Dong almost laughed until tears streamed down his face when he heard this; it was a genuine feeling of sorrow.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Am I wrong?" Jiang Fei's expression was ferocious as he angrily rebuked, "We brothers put up hundreds of thousands as capital. Didn't you make your fortune with that capital? And you still deny it?"

"Yes, you're right. I make money off your money. Fine, let me ask you, and Ah Long, even if I had returned all the money to you back then, would you have achieved what you have today? Tell me."

"I..." The two were speechless for a moment. If Chen Dong hadn't led them to work hard later, they certainly wouldn't be as successful as they are now. Both of them, including the deceased Ah Hu, knew this very well.

"But we risked our lives for that. In order to run international trade, Ah Long and Ah Hu had several disputes with the other party, and almost lost their lives in one fight. Didn't we put in the effort? What did you, Chen Dong, do? You just talked and talked, but you took the lion's share. We are not satisfied."

Finally, Jiang Fei shouted it out in a hoarse voice.
