Lai Man-yau, a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked in and looked at the plainclothes officers in the room. "Dragon Master has always been very kind to you. Chief Liu sent me here with one simple instruction: find out from him who the mastermind is. We can't let Dragon Master die without knowing why."
"Mr. Lai, you're thoughtful." A plainclothes officer who Lee Jusheng for many years said to Lai Man-yau, then winked at his colleagues. "Make your move. Chief Liu has already given the order; no need to use the phone book!"
Upon his command, the others immediately grabbed stools or kicked at Lam Kong, who was lying on the ground.
Lai Man-yau, a cigarette dangling from his lips, coldly stared at Lam Kong, who was curled up on the ground, groaning in pain. "Headless, you chose this path, so don't blame others. I'm asking you now, did Song Tianyao instruct you to hire someone to kill Dragon Master?"
"Ugh..." Lam Kong spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, his teeth stained crimson. He clenched his teeth, lying on the ground like a dog, yet struggled to lift his head, his expression twisted and ferocious as he glared at Lai Man-yau, like a demon crawling out of hell. "Your mother ordered me to hire someone to kill your Dad, wanting me to be your cheap Dad... I'll fuck your mother! Come on!"
"Think carefully before you answer. If you're any slower, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to answer!" Lai Man-yau stepped forward, stomped hard on Lam Kong's fingers and twisted them forcefully, and said coldly.
Chapter 361 The One in My Heart
"It seems like it's been a long time since we two brothers sat down alone for tea and a chat?" Lin Xiaoze Han Xin Inspects the Troops up a windswept palm-leaf teapot from the rosewood tea table and, mimicking Guan Gong Patrols the City gesture, poured the tea from the pot into white porcelain teacups one by one. Finally, he flicked the last few drops of tea from the pot into the teacups without wasting a drop, before saying, "Try it."
Lin Xiao qia picked up his teacup, admiring the tea and inhaling its aroma. He chuckled and said, "Brother, you went to Britain when you were young. Shouldn't you be used to drinking those teas invented by those Britain Foreign Devils? When did you become so skilled at Gongfu tea? Your moves, Guan Gong Patrols the City and Han Xin Inspects the Troops, are enough to qualify you for a doctorate in a teahouse."
"There's no way around it. In the eyes of China person, everyone sees me as, 'Wow, Lin Xiaoze is back from Britain.' But in the eyes of Foreign Devil, I'm just a China person who went to Britain to study and deal with the Britain. It's useless to tell them about London or Britain. You have to bring out something uniquely China person, like Kung Fu tea, right? Ever since I learned Kung Fu tea, Foreign Devil rarely drink tea with me anymore, worried that I'll laugh at them for being barbarians." Lin Xiaoze picked up his teacup and admired the color of the tea as he spoke.
Lin Xiao qia nodded in agreement, downed the tea in his cup in one gulp, closed his eyes to savor the taste, and after a while opened his eyes and said, "Right, the Britain call that tea drinking? Wow, they use gold and silver utensils, then add lemon, milk, and some even add sugar and ice to the tea. I feel like vomiting just smelling it. Is it tea drinking or a hodgepodge? Tea should have this light, delicate aroma."
"Do you know why I thought of inviting you to have Kung Fu tea alone?" Lin Xiao qia also put the tea to his lips and shook his head slightly. "The water is a bit poor; tap water is never as good as spring water."
Lin Xiao qia looked at his elder brother. "Do you need a reason to invite me for tea?"
"Of course there needs to be a reason." Lin Xiaoze sighed softly, "A He asked me to see you. Did you send someone to see that little constable named Headless before?"
Lin Xiao qia's expression froze at first, then he slowly composed himself and looked at Lin Xiaoze: "Yes, A He told you?"
"A He told me that Fifth Uncle had already made all the arrangements, but Song Tianyao suddenly became wary, ultimately forcing him to distance himself from everything in Macau." Lin Xiaoze put down his teacup and looked at Lin Xiao qia, saying, "He thought there was a mole in the Lin Family, so he sent people to investigate thoroughly, and in the end..."
Lin Xiao qia gave a wry smile, placed the white porcelain teacup back in its place, and scratched his head with both hands. "So they found out it was because of me. Actually, when I went to question A He after learning about Uncle Wu and Uncle Liu's incident, I already vaguely guessed it might be because of me... Brother, if A He came to see me, I definitely wouldn't explain, but since you invited me for tea, I just want to say one thing: I really just wanted to help A He make the whole thing more thorough. I didn't reveal anything to that cop..."
"I know, A He knows too. A He doesn't mean to blame you. He asked me to come and explain this to you so that you wouldn't feel awkward if he spoke to you directly." Lin Xiaoze continued pouring tea, saying, "Let's just let this matter pass. A He genuinely cares about this family, and so do you. Don't let this cause any rift between brothers."
Lin Xiao qia lowered his head and said, "I know, and I want to talk to A He about this, but what A He did to Uncle Wu and Uncle Liu has made me unable to speak. Uncle Wu and Uncle Liu back then..."
"Let's not bring up what happened back then," Lin Xiaoze interrupted his younger brother. "A-Sen and I are planning to raise some funds in the stock market. Keep a close eye on things at the company. A-Jie, A-Kang, and Ah Da are still quite young."
Lin Xiao qia nodded calmly. "I understand."
"If you have something to do but don't want to tell A He, you can let me know. Let's not let this situation happen again where you mean well but end up doing something wrong."
"Um."
"Mr. Lin, I've found some information." Liao Jingxuan said, sitting on the sofa and looking at Lin Xiaohe, who was fiddling with the record player.
Lin Xiaohe put a Zhou Xuan vinyl record into the record player, pressed the switch, the needle fell, and melodious music filled the air. Once the intro to "My the One in My Heart" started, Lin Xiaohe returned to the sofa and sat down. "Thank you for your hard work, Jingxuan."
"What I did were all low-level tasks, nothing particularly strenuous. I've already found out that Mr. Lin Xiao qia did indeed send a sum of money to his two uncles, Lin Xiyuan Lin Xishen, every month. However, this money came from his own pocket, not from the Lin Family's public accounts. Over six years, it added up to three or four hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars," Liao Jingxuan said expressionlessly. "Furthermore, I've found out that Mr. Lin Xiao qia is quite familiar with the subordinates of his two uncles, Lin Xiyuan and Lin Xiyuan Lin Xishen."
