The Bravest

In the secret tea room of Sakura Pavilion, Gangcun tried to poach Lin Jie, split up Lin Jie's network and weaken Lin Jie's power.

It was said that it was Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming who proposed to share Lin Jie's work.

Gangcun also listed a bunch of areas under Lin Jie's jurisdiction, implying that he was in charge of too much and it was time to hand over some power.

At the same time, Gangcun also mentioned Lin Jie's wife and children. On the surface, he seemed concerned, but it was obviously threatening.

In fact, Lin Jie understood as soon as he heard it. This meant that Gangcun wanted to control his sphere of influence and had no intention of overthrowing him. Instead, he felt relieved.

But Lin Jie couldn't show it, so he pretended to be furious, stood up and glared at Gangcun.

"Gangcun, this is my life. What do they want to do? Rob me alive. Gangcun-kun, who do you want to help?"

"Mr. Lin, watch your words! They just want to run their own business and don't want to trouble you for everything. This is just to help you share the burden. I agreed to them for your own good."

When Gangcun saw Lin Jie standing up and glaring at him, the smile on his face disappeared and his expression became stiff.

Gangcun originally thought that Lin Jie would just complain a few words at most, but he didn't expect Lin Jie to react so violently, which was beyond his expectations.

"Gangcun, you have to help me get justice. They are doing this to steal my business. Isn't this going to kill me? If I lose my livelihood, they won't have an easy life either."

Lin Jie remained unmoved, but he directed his criticism at Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming, and did not mention Gangcun taking back his power.

"Mr. Lin, let me say it again. They are just doing business independently within their jurisdiction. They didn't rob you. Besides, I have already agreed. Do you want me to break my promise?"

Gangcun was delighted to see that Lin Jie was targeting Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming. No matter how furious Lin Jie was, he could not change the facts.

As long as Lin Jie doesn't dare to blame him for the incident, he will let the Chinese fight among themselves. Before the situation gets out of control, he will step forward and take charge of the situation. This is how the players behind the scenes play the game.

"Gangcun, I have been with you for so many years. Even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. I am also your brother-in-law. You can't do this and help outsiders steal my money..."

Lin Jie vented his anger, sat down helplessly, and murmured in frustration: "It's all money. How much money will I lose?"

Gangcun was relieved when he heard that Lin Jie was worried about the money and not anything else. He was really afraid that Lin Jie was going crazy for power.

"Brother-in-law, you have to understand me. Those two people worked hard for me and came to me for help. I have to give them some benefits. Otherwise, who will work hard for me in the future?"

Seeing Lin Jie lose his temper and look depressed and resigned to his fate, Gangcun knew that Lin Jie was just accepting the slap in the face.

"Gangcun-kun, you can't use my money to subsidize others!"

Lin Jie complained and turned his head away, not wanting to look at Gangcun's face.

Gangcun knew that it was time to give Lin Jie a sweet treat, otherwise they would really become disloyal and he would need Lin Jie to work for him in the future.

"Brother-in-law, I have compensation for you. I haven't even had the chance to tell you, and you're already getting mad. Since you don't want it, forget it."

Gangcun looks so innocent that people who don't know him would be fooled by him.

Lin Jie was acting when he got angry, creating a character who was outspoken and straightforward. After getting angry, he had no choice but to accept the arrangement, and did not dare to disobey Gangcun.

However, after hearing what Gangcun said, there is an unexpected surprise? Lin Jie's face turned like a book, and he immediately turned his head and forced a smile:

"Okamura-kun, brother-in-law, I knew you wouldn't do this to me. Is there really any compensation?"

Faced with Lin Jie's servile smile, Gangcun became cautious again.

"Why, money is dearer to you than me? You just called me by my name. You don't have to be so affectionate now."

"Brother-in-law, of course you are closer. You are closer to me than I am to myself. I might have been a little excited just now. People from our own family are like this. Don't be offended. Yue Lan even called me a bastard."

Lin Jie licked his face and began to recognize his relatives.

"Really? I called you my brother-in-law just now, what did you call me? Now you know I'm your eldest brother-in-law!"

"Haha, that's Gangcun-kun, tell me what the compensation is, and any new business? I will definitely do my best."

"Okay, there isn't that much new business coming in. I'll help you with the Yamaguchi family. Are you satisfied? But there are conditions."

"Mr. Gangcun, what are the conditions? You are not thinking of selling me out?" Lin Jie looked at Gangcun warily.

"How much can you sell it for? This can only be Yue Lan's private money. I will tell Yue Lan, don't think about embezzling it."

Although Gangcun is insidious to others, he is really kind to his family and his sister Sun Yuelan.

"It's Yuelan's, so it's mine, why bother?"

Lin Jie muttered to himself quietly, but Gangcun still heard it and glared at him.

"Then forget it. Don't even think about using my sister's money to support other women."

"Haha, I'm just kidding! Don't be angry." Lin Jie quickly laughed it off, trying to get away with it.

"Mr. Lin, this is the bad thing about you Chinese. Unlike us Japanese men, we just have fun outside and never bring anything home. Look at you, how many do you have?"

Gangcun educated Lin Jie seriously, completely forgetting that the women behind Lin Jie appeared because of him. However, Gangcun was not really concerned about Lin Jie's family problems.

He had just split up Lin Jie's power, so he deliberately said some private words to ease the relationship so that Lin Jie would continue to work hard for him.

"Okamura-kun, everyone is pretty much the same. If there's nothing else, I'll go back! I still have to go home to be with my wife."

Lin Jie was about to leave when Gangcun stopped him. "Since it's settled, don't cause any trouble for me. Your people in Lao Huang and Lao Liu's jurisdiction, withdraw immediately."

"Got it." Lin Jie turned his back to Gangcun, waved his hand, said perfunctorily, and walked out. Lin Jie would definitely not consider withdrawing people.

However, Lin Jie also instructed his people to keep a low profile. He did not want to have a head-on conflict with others, but it was still necessary to keep a watchful eye on them.

Gangcun would not take it too seriously. He likes to see Chinese people fighting among themselves. As long as it does not affect his business, he will not care about anything else!

Lin Jie's attitude of wanting money instead of power also made Gangcun feel more at ease. It was okay to be greedy for money, but what he was most afraid of was that Lin Jie was greedy for power and wanted to confront him.

If that were the case, Gangcun would not be polite and would have taken strong measures against Lin Jie. Fortunately, Lin Jie was tactful and chose money and did not make things difficult for Gangcun. After all, he was his brother-in-law and it would be good for him to make money with him!

In this way, Gangcun's conspiracy, without spending a penny, undermined Lin Jie's foundation and removed Lin Jie's two arms.

Lin Jie will definitely not be able to get back the half profit promised to him from Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming.

Although some of Lin Jie's sphere of influence was split apart, he was actually relieved.

Lin Jie was not afraid that Gangcun would suppress and restrict him openly. What he feared most was that Gangcun would do the same thing he did to Li Shiqun, saying nothing but directly killing him.
