New lead

"Who…hic… are… you?"

Tsun was dumb stricken for a moment before he turned to Asahi with sad eyes," You don't know who I am?"

Ding ran a frustrated hand over his face before turning to Tsun," He's drunk… in fact… they all are."

Lian focused his blurry gaze on the figure before him," You…"

Ding turned and walked away ignoring the shouts from Tsun. After being ignored, Tsun's gaze landed on the three drunk men. He rubbed his forehead not knowing what to do, Gin seemed to know of his current predicament since three bouncers walked into sight out of nowhere and helped carry the now fast asleep men out of the restaurant.

"Hah~ he's still the same as how he was before, conveniently helpful," he murmured to himself and walked after the three huge men.

"Ding, do you want to ride with them?"

"No."

"What a fast response."

"You ride with them, I got other things to take care of," he replied, got into his car and drove out of sight.

"He's such a.." he let out a defeated sigh and turned to the men," put them in my car."

The three complied and after ensuring they were safely buckled up, he got into the car and drove out. Gin stood by the window and a smirk formed on his lips as he watched the departing car.

"All the best my friend."

The phone on his desk vibrated violently and he walked towards his desk.

"Hello."

"Gin, can I ask for a favour?"

Gin nearly hang up the call upon recognizing the voice of the caller but the caller as if reading his thoughts, spoke up first.

"Don't hang up the phone."

"What do you want?"

Gin nodded his head as he attentively listened to what the caller was saying.

"… if I could get those names, I'll be grateful."

"And what makes you think I would want to help you out?"

"I know how much you hate me, trust me I do but you are the only one who can help me out because of your numerous connections."

"What about payments? How much are we talking about?"

"How much do you want?"

Gin rubbed his chin as numerous calculations wandered around his brain," You need to dispose of some few people if you want those names."

"How many are we talking about?"

Though Gin was successful, it was no doubt that he had enemies. Some of them were rich aristocrats, others politicians whom he refused to assist, some were assassins hired by his in laws. Truth be told, being an only child who was a target to many because of the wealth he possessed, life was not a walk in a flower field.

"Not many, I'll send all their information to you and once you are done, reach out to me and I'll keep my end of the deal."

Without waiting for a reply, Gin placed the phone on the desk ending the call instantly.

Tsun came to a stop at a red light, let out an exhausted sigh and buried his head into the steering wheel with his eyes closed. Lian feeling like the wavy movement from before stopped, woke up and looked around his surrounding. Tsun raised his head and looked at him from the rear view mirror.

"You okay there?"

Lian's eyes confusedly scanned the car before his gaze landed on Tsun. He tilted his head to the right and burped, Tsun shook his head and immediately the light turned green, he started the car and drove down the path.

"Why must I be the one who gets to deal with these sort of situations?" Tsun grumbled as he walked into the room pulling a staggering Lian and Cole with him.

"Whoa there…"

Tsun grabbed Lian as he stumbled forward and tripped on his own feet causing him to fall and push open the door to their apartment.

"Urgh!"

"What a hell of an entrance," Ding said and drank from his cup unbothered by the fact of two grown ass men sprawled on the floor in front of him.

"Little help?" Tsun asked and Ding shrugged his shoulders," what? You won't help?"

"Not really, no," he replied and took another sip from his steaming cup," my tea will get cold."

"Are you being serious right now?"

"Okay okay, sheesh…"

Ding stood up from his seat and walked towards the door, he grabbed Lian by his collar and yanked him up. He threw him over his shoulder and walked out of the room seconds later. Tsun sat up and looked at him confusingly creasing his brows.

"Did you tuck him in bed?"

Ding shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and before he spoke, a loud bang echoing from the hall caught their attention indicating that they were not on their own. Cole bent over and puked staining the chrome white walls with his vomit. Asahi who was a few feet from Cole watched this in interest and let out a mad laugh which alarmed Tsun for he had never heard him laugh so loudly before.

"It's going to be a long night," Ding said, shook his head in defeat and walked towards Cole who was seated on the floor back leaning against the wall.

He grabbed him by his wrist and yanked him up effortlessly. Cole groaned and raised his head, eyes locking with Ding's. He opened his mouth to speak but a burp left his mouth instead of words. Ding seemingly unfazed walked into the room dragging Cole along with him.

"H- hey!"

Ding ignored his struggles and shouts and tossed him on the bed beside Lian. He sat up and glared daggers at Ding obviously not happy with the way he was tossing him around like a sack of oranges.

"H- hey!"

Ding raised his brow and Cole struggled out of the bed and walked towards him till they were face to face with each other.

"You..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ding took a step back disgust visible on his face.

"Disgusting," he said covering his nose," you stink."

With that being said, he walked out ignoring his shouts. He met with Tsun who was seated on the long couch with Asahi fast asleep on his lap.

"Young master, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm?"

Tsun looked up inquiring him to go on.

"I found a new lead."

"Really? What did you find?"

Ding sat on the opposite chair and explained his findings as Tsun listened attentively with a plain expression on his face. Only when Ding was done did he finally show some expressions.

"So what now?"

"I can't trouble you to come with me but..."

"Hold up! You were telling me this so that I can help you out right?"

"Of course not!" he exclaimed and Tsun blinked in surprise," sorry."

"Ding... are you sure you want to do this on your own? According to what you said those guys..."

"Yes."
