[The Return of Fate] (A Common Man's Loss of Will) Chapter 161

The unequal distribution of spoils...
As soon as his younger sister's funeral was over, Ye Nanfei rushed to find Chen Ru. This was his top priority
. As for whether Teng Tao was dead or not, or whether Teng Mingyuan and his brother-in-law were both gone, whether they were alive or dead was another matter. However,
seeing Chen Ru gave him a rather subtle feeling. Although Chen Ru was good at hiding her true feelings, Ye Nanfei was very
perceptive. He sensed that a common enemy had fallen, and allies were turning against each other. This wasn't because Chen Ru was too materialistic or
pragmatic; it was human nature. When there was mutual benefit, there was a certain camaraderie. But once that benefit was gone
, when they came back to seek favors, anyone would feel resentful.
Moreover, there were many unavoidable reasons behind this. Sensing the tense atmosphere, Ye Nanfei cut to the chase:
"Sister Ru, shouldn't we split the coal payment from Teng Tao?"
Chen Ru looked troubled. "Oh, Nanfei, where have you been these past few days? You're only eager to divide the money, but do you know
how troublesome this is? It's a hot potato."
Ye Nanfei's expression also darkened. This was exactly what he feared; he was worried these people would hog it all, and it seemed they were really going to
do it. "What's wrong? Do you all think the money isn't enough? Do you all want more? Let me tell you, Sister Ru,
we were on the front lines this time, taking down Teng Tao." "My sister died, and several of my brothers were injured
. My share is absolutely untouchable!"
Chen Ru retorted, "What are you talking about? Who wants your share? What kind of person do you take me for? Isn't this all
your fault? You exposed the coal-for-cash scheme in front of so many people. Now everyone knows
about this money. Who wouldn't be interested? If you want to settle things, just hand over the money to the police or the
court. If they don't approve, how do you plan to divide the money? Who gets it and who doesn't?"
Ye Nanfei: "This...you can't blame me for this. You didn't see the situation back then, it was extremely dangerous
. If I didn't have some real substance, how could I have intimidated these people? Besides, even if I hadn't revealed it then, as long as
Teng Tao was arrested, this money couldn't be hidden. There were loopholes in our plan."
Chen Ru: "You knew it couldn't be hidden, you knew there were loopholes? Weren't you there when we were planning it?"
Ye Nanfei: "Look...aren't you an expert in this area?"
Chen Ru: "Alright, stop blaming each other. " "Oh no, this money's become a hot potato. But I heard
that Teng Tao's office at the hardware store caught fire. Although the fire wasn't big, everything in the safe was gone.
Apparently, there was a lot of cash and gold bars inside. Could this be related to you?"
Ye Nanfei panicked a bit: "Hey... Sister Chen Ru, you can't say things like that. Arson and theft are
serious crimes. Besides, I have alibis for everything." As he spoke, he couldn't
help but marvel at how shrewd this woman was.
Chen Ru: "Never mind, I was just asking. So, what do you think we should do with this money?"
Ye Nanfei's momentum immediately deflated: "No, Sister Chen, what's the situation now?
What are Haoyu and County Chief Ma's attitudes?"
Chen Ru: "They're much more sensible than you. They understand the ways of officialdom better than you. Back then,
Haoyu, County Chief Ma, Manager Zou, you, me, and our buddies from the coal mine in Inner Mongolia were all involved in this discussion. We originally planned to
split the money quietly among ourselves. Haoyu was just helping a friend." "It was someone who acted as a bridge
between us; otherwise, our cooperation wouldn't have happened. Haoyu didn't want the money initially, thinking he hadn't done anything, but we can't refuse to give it to him.
If we disappoint our friend, will we do business with him in the future?"
Ye Nanfei: "That's right, that's right, we have to give it, and we can't give less."
Chen Ru: "County Chief Ma and Manager Zou are easy to talk to; giving them some is fine. After all, their goal is to bring down the Teng
family and take their place. The political benefits are greater than the financial ones. But my friend at the coal mine needs a share, right? You
said you were at the forefront..." " Those on the front lines are dealing with Teng Tao face-to-face. If they don't handle things well,
you know what kind of person Teng Tao is."
Ye Nanfei: "Yes, back then we were just talking about giving him money, I didn't say anything else."
Chen Ru: "Besides, we were the biggest contributors, putting in the most work and effort. But now the situation has changed.
All the leaders at all levels know about this. What do you suggest we do?"
Ye Nanfei: "Why are these leaders so concerned about the money? Shouldn't they be more concerned about those videotapes
and the inside information Teng Tao knows?"
Chen Ru: "Uh... well, at least you have some sense. So only when Teng Tao disappears
can we feel safe dividing the money. Of course, this isn't my idea, it's the leaders' idea. He knows
too much. If he's alive, many people won't be able to sleep at night."
Although Ye Nanfei had anticipated this, his heart still skipped a beat when he actually heard it. It was indeed ruthless. And
women can be quite terrifying when they're vicious. Was Chen Ru doing this for the money, to please the leaders, or because she
had a grudge against Teng Tao?
Chen Ru: "I'll be frank with you today. Since you've been involved from beginning to end, there's no need to hide it from you. Besides,
there's the coal payment issue that I need to explain to you. Teng Tao definitely has to disappear, but we can't just take the money quietly.
The leaders have to take the lion's share, and we'll split the rest. What do you think?"
Ye Nanfei was at his wits' end, feeling like he was dealing with a tiger. "Okay, okay, Sister Ru, whatever you arrange is fine
. The key is to smooth things over and clean things up. Otherwise, I won't feel safe taking the money, and I won't dare to take it."
Chen Ru: "What? You trust me?"
Ye Nanfei: "I trust you, absolutely trust you, from the bottom of my heart. Just do what you think is best for this. I have no objections."
Chen Ru finally showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, you have to trust me ." "I'll do my best to get as much as possible for you
, of course, based on the leader's satisfaction."
Ye Nanfei thought to himself, "What can I do if you don't believe me? You really can't function without her. I can only do whatever she says
. It all depends on Chen Ru's conscience." "But I'm a little curious, Sister Ru, why are you so focused
on dealing with Teng Tao? What's your grudge?"
Chen Ru: "Does this money count as... sigh... didn't I
tell you back then that he cheated me once? Actually, thinking about it carefully, what he did wasn't that bad. It's just that I
couldn't stand it. I originally wanted to get revenge on him with you, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. Some things, once started..."
"From the beginning, it was beyond anyone's control."
Leaving Chen Ru, he still had many things to deal with at home. The wounded were still recovering in the hospital, Li Yongxia and the others
needed to be settled—they had all come to him for help. The shop needed renovations, and his wife and family needed to be brought back. He arranged for the uninjured
to split up and act. During this period, he had only spent money and had no income; his savings were almost gone. Fortunately,
there was some cash and gold bars in Teng Tao's safe. So, they were the ones who stole the safe? Yes, it was
Minako who was instructed by Ye Nanfei before going to the hospital. That very night, Minako ransacked the office and set it on fire before leaving.
This small sum of money saved Ye Nanfei's life. If he had relied on the coal payment, he would have been doomed
. Why save his life? Because the renovations required a large sum, and he had to compensate his injured brothers for their losses, especially his younger sister—
no amount of compensation felt enough. And Hua Jie deserves special mention; her losses were considerable. Not only was the shop
burned down along with the fire, but when Teng Tao investigated Ye Nanfei's network, Hua Jie was the first and easiest person to find.
He caught Hua Jie and Zhu Zi at home, and a beating was inevitable.
Zhu Zi, of course, lacked the awareness and sentiments of a revolutionary martyr, and had previously harbored considerable resentment towards Ye Nanfei, so
betraying him was quite normal. However, he genuinely didn't know Ye Nanfei's background, but he knew he could find Tie Dan and Mao Rou,
thus exposing Mao Rou and Tie Dan. Cat Meat was timid and cowardly by nature, and had never seen anything like this before. He collapsed on the spot .
Tie Dan, on the other hand, had some backbone, but when he was cornered at home, Ma Hongli and her daughter were also there.
After Ma Hongli was raped, Tie Dan had no choice but to confess. It wasn't that he confessed after witnessing the rape, but rather that by
the time he confessed, it had already begun, and it was difficult to stop halfway.
It was only because Teng Tao was anxious to find Ye Nanfei that the mother and daughter were able to escape their fate. Teng Tao comforted his subordinates, saying, "
When we get there, you can cause as much trouble as you want." So, although both families betrayed Ye Nanfei, you can't
be unjust, after all, it was because of you, and the losses were significant. This matter must be compensated. However, he still took the gold bars
to Pang Si's house first, only to be scolded and driven away by Pang Si.
Pang Si: "What the hell do you mean? Trying to buy peace of mind with money? You think you can get rid of your debt to your little sister like this
? I'll make sure you owe her, and you'll never be able to pay it back." He cursed Ye Nanfei until he was speechless. But despite the cursing
, the two brothers' relationship only grew stronger.
When Sister Hong returned and heard what had happened, she was filled with lingering fear
. Who wouldn't be terrified after narrowly escaping the destruction of their family? Ye Nanfei then suggested that Zhang Mo and Yin Lingyi move into his house. Sister Hong agreed without much thought,
because she had no reason to refuse. Yin Lingyi was Ye Nanfei's junior sister; her master was dead, leaving her all alone
—how pitiful! Ye Nanfei was her only remaining family member. If she didn't take care of her, who would? Besides, she was pregnant and needed
care. As for Zhang Mo, he was her brother-in-law, and he had been injured while helping his own husband. Moving in was the right thing to do.
Ye Nanfei's thoughts were simple. Besides her husband, Yin Lingyi only had him as family. His master was most worried
about this junior sister, and if he didn't take good care of her, how could he face his master? Besides, after his junior sister's accident, he was even
more attentive to those around him. Also, his sister-in-law should have to move out, which relieved him. She
was always around him, making him very anxious.
The others had initially planned to rent a three-bedroom apartment and live together. However, after discussion and their own consideration
, they felt it wasn't appropriate. He, Minako, and Li Yongxia would definitely still have lingering ties. If they all lived together,
what would happen then? Wouldn't things get complicated enough? Moreover, Li Yongxia and Li Yonghong demanded to live alone, citing their unwillingness to live with a "stinky" guy
. Minako had also privately told Ye Nanfei she wanted to live alone; given Minako's personality, it was difficult for her
to live under the same roof with others.
And so, a one-bedroom apartment was rented for Li Zhiguo and Fatty, a one-bedroom apartment was rented for Minako alone, and
a one-bedroom apartment was rented for the Li sisters alone. There was no other way; money was tight everywhere, and this kind of renting was already quite extravagant
. Mule, along with Tiedan and Chouqiu, went to renovate the house. Tiedan received 10,000 yuan in compensation because of Ma Hongli's ordeal, and
Hua Jie's family also received 10,000 yuan, because not only was she beaten, but her family's business and shop also suffered losses. The house repairs
were combined with Ye Nanfei's shop, so she didn't need to spend extra money. Everyone else received 5,000 yuan in compensation.
Li Yongxia and the others didn't need cash compensation because they were about to open a branch on Qipan Street, and it was considered a share investment. Everything
was proceeding at a rapid pace, and fortunately, these people were now almost capable of handling things independently. It seems that
as long as he sets a direction on important matters, everyone else handles the details, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the important stuff. But his leisure time is increasingly
causing him concern. Don't forget, all his women have gathered around him. His wife is back! They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
, but this wasn't just a short separation; it was practically a life-or-death separation. The two of them especially cherish this reunion
. Although they have a child, after putting the child to sleep, they can't help but indulge in some tender moments.
The next day, the feeling of abundance after a long drought made Zhang Mo and his wife extremely envious
. They've both been through it; they know the tricks of the trade. Regular household chores are a must, but what about Minako? Since
reuniting with Ye Nanfei, her passion and desire seem to have been awakened, becoming extremely fierce. Every time she's alone with Ye Nanfei, she
feels completely drained. This has made Ye Nanfei a little afraid, yet he can't bear to let go.
And what about Li Yongxia? He had always felt most indebted to her. Besides taking care of her materially and practically, what about their feelings? What about their desires
? He was finding it difficult to manage them all, both physically and mentally. He also had to consider the feelings of everyone involved.
Minako was relatively easy to deal with; she knew who was involved. Li Yongxia, however, didn't know about Minako, which required extra caution.
The most difficult person to handle was his wife, Hongjie. She didn't know the true relationships between them, but she knew about
the affair between Minako and Li Yongxia. And Minako was so beautiful, which made her very nervous. So how would he manage
the relationships between all these parties? We'll find out next time. 3854
