Chapter 47: Brothers Divided
Yang Ning: "If you have anything to say, let's meet in the small garden of the hotel and talk about it!"
Junlan: “Yeah.”
When Jun Lan arrived at the small garden, she found that Yang Ning was already waiting there.
Yang Ning smiled at her, still as clean and cute as before, but after hearing what Lu Yang said, Jun Lan felt that he was also a person who could not be trusted, even though these words came from the mouth of a villain who went back on his word.
Junlan was still hesitating while holding the eavesdropper, but once she opened her mouth, there was no turning back.
Yang Ning: "You're finally here?"
Jun Lan's eyes were evasive and she hesitated for a long time without being able to utter a word.
Yang Ning: "Didn't you say you needed my help on the phone? Why didn't you tell me when we met?"
Jun Lan mustered up her courage and said, "Before I tell you what I want to ask you, can I ask you a question?"
"sure!"
"Then you must answer me honestly."
"If it's a question I don't want to answer, I won't say anything, but I will definitely not lie to you when I say it. This is the only promise I can make to you. Is that okay with you?"
Junlan nodded.
"Are you sure you and Lu Yang are good brothers?"
"Yeah, we're very good friends, that's all, nothing more."
"Then why did you lead him to gamble?"
"What a mess! What on earth did he tell you? He was the one who begged me to introduce him to those people so he could expand his network. I warned him he couldn't beat them, but he refused to listen and insisted on getting involved. Now he's got a gambling habit and he's blaming it on me. Holy crap, he's such a righteous man. What else did he say behind my back? Tell me everything at once so I can be prepared."
"He also said that you took advantage of the situation and bought his father's company at a low price, causing his entire family to go bankrupt."
"I swear to God, his father sold off nearly everything he could to help him pay off his gambling debts. What was left were shell companies, some of which were still heavily in debt. No other company was willing to buy his father's negative assets. It was his father who begged me on his knees. I, out of our long-standing friendship, offered to buy his company at a price 28% above market value to clear his debts. It's a shame that I've been supporting him all these years. He's really ungrateful."
"He also said... and also said..."
"What else did he say?"
"He said you haven't had a girlfriend in all these years, maybe you're gay."
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I'm straighter than a man of steel."
"Alas, it's true that a bushel of rice feeds a benefactor but a liter of rice feeds an enemy."
Jun Lan touched her conscience and found that it didn't hurt. She had already learned to lie without thinking and just talk nonsense here.
Yang Ning: "I don't want to continue on this topic. You should talk about your business first!"
Jun Lan took out the monitor and handed it to him, then said to him mysteriously, "Now there is a good opportunity to take revenge on him, do you want to try?"
Yang looked at the monitor again and again, extremely confused: "This should be a listening device, right? Why did you give it to me? What are you thinking about?"
"To be honest, I suspect it was your good friend Lu Yang who injured Wang Dafu and Niu Dali last time."
Yang Ning couldn't believe his ears.
"I know he's not a good person, but I don't believe he would do something so harmful to the world."
"I have evidence to support my suspicions. He'd been owing a ton of money to loan sharks, and those people often came to the hotel to collect the debts. But didn't you notice they haven't been coming lately? That's because he not only paid off his old debts, but also had extra money to gamble in Hainan. It's obvious he was paid to commit the crime."
"If you borrow and repay, it's not difficult to borrow again. He paid back the money with his own ability, so why is it strange that he goes back to gambling?"
"Bah! Should I call you naive or stupid? Even if he sells his flesh or organs, he still can't pay back those loan sharks. Unless you're the one funding him."
Yang Ning was silent for a long time before finally speaking out: "I haven't helped him pay back the money recently."
"That's right. Why are you still dawdling? I overheard he'll be meeting with the mastermind who hired him to kill someone at 8 o'clock tonight. All you have to do is put this thing in his pocket, and then everything will be revealed."
"Oh my god, where did you get all this information? Don't tell me you're tapping people's phones. You're breaking the law, don't you know?"
"Are you going to do it or not? If it weren't for the fact that I offended Lu Yang last time and he's now afraid of me and doesn't dare to see me, would I have to waste my time with you?"
Yang Ning put the monitoring device into his trouser pocket and took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll agree for the sake of the beauty. But after this, I'm afraid he and I can no longer be friends."
Yang Ning called Lu Yang and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight!"
Lu Yang: "Okay, but it has to be before seven o'clock. I have something to do at eight o'clock!"
"Well, see you at Sunshine Coast at six."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ning said to Jun Lan, "Wait for my news."
At six o'clock in the evening, Yang Ning and Lu Yang appeared at the Sunshine Coast on time.
Lu Yang: "Why are you in such a good mood tonight and asked me out for dinner? Don't you have any girls asking you out?"
Yang Ning: "Actually, I've been wanting to ask you out for dinner for a long time, but you've been away from the Grand Hyatt Hotel lately, and you often don't answer my calls. What have you been busy with lately?"
"I've long since given up on that front desk job at LaCrosse. It's hard, tiring, and the pay is low. I've already found a better way out. I'm just waiting for him to ask for my resignation. I don't want to be embarrassed there anymore."
"So what new job did you find?"
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm telling you, Yang Ning, don't really think that I can't survive without you."
Yang Ning was silent for a long time.
"Brother after all these years, it turns out you've always looked at me like this!"
Lu Yang: "I'm really fed up with your nobility and your charity. Now I want to prove to others that I, Lu Yang, can still live smoothly without you, Yang Ning."
Yang Ning: "Then why didn't you say that when you asked me for money?"
Lu Yang's face twitched.
"Talking too much is useless and eating too much will make you sick of it. You can eat this meal by yourself. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he stood up and turned to leave.
Yang Ning: "Wait."
Lu Yang began to get impatient: "What's the matter, Young Master Yang Ning? Do you want to continue to lecture me or do you want me to pay you back for the pocket money I've spent on you over the past few years? I beg you, these hundreds of thousands of dollars are just change that you, Young Master, wouldn't even pick up if it was thrown on the ground. We're classmates, so just think of it as alms to a beggar, okay?"
Yang Ning also stood up and walked to his side.
"You misunderstood. I saw that your tie was crooked and wanted to fix it for you." After saying that, he reached out to tie Lu Yang's tie a little tighter and threw the monitor into his coat pocket.
Lu Yang looked at Yang Ning with a puzzled look on his face: "Psychopaths, both of them are psychopaths."
After saying that, Lu Yang left Sunshine Coast alone.
