New clues

"Hello my lovely bro…" his voice trailed off at the sight before him," what happened here?"

Ding looked at Lian and Cole," Those two happened."

Tsun chuckled and walked towards the kitchen counter where Cole was standing," Look at this one, so cute."

Tsun lightly pinched his cheek and Cole chuckled," Sir I.."

"Stop!" he shouted suddenly," what did you just call me? 'Sir'? My name is Tsun."

"Yes Mr. Tsun," he corrected himself and Tsun shuffled his hair.

"Good boy."

Asahi shook his head and turned his attention from Tsun to Ding," Master, uncle wanted you to have this."

He produced a brown envelope from his bag and handed it to him. Ding looked at him and took the envelope, he opened it and took out the documents which were inside. Ding made no sound, his inky lashes lowered as he examined the documents. His face remained surprisingly neutral, with just a tinge of anger, before lifting his gaze and sending a death glare at Asahi. He asked in a low voice," Why did he give you this?"

"That… I don't know master," he replied dejectedly.

Ding folded the documents and disappeared into his room without a word. Lian and Cole exchanged worried looks and Tsun cleared his throat grabbing their attention.

"Oh… you guys haven't met before. This is Asahi," he said and Asahi slightly bowed his head.

"Nice to meet master's friends," he said and Lian frantically shook his hands.

"What friends? We share no such relationship," he stated and Asahi tilted his head in confusion, he looked from Tsun to the two and back.

"You don't?"

"Ah… look at the mess you two cuties made," Tsun said diverging their attention to the mess before them," come on. Let me cook breakfast while you tidy up."

Lian opened his mouth to protest but thought better of it, closed his mouth and smiled.

"Well then, sorry for the trouble."

"It's not a big deal, I want something to snack on as well," he replied and walked past them and into the kitchen.

He opened the fridge only to find it empty. He let out a frustrated sigh and turned his attention to Lian and Cole.

"Hey! I just restocked the fridge, where did everything go?"

"Um… about that…"

Cole pointed towards the bin and Tsun pursed his lips in disbelief.

"Everything?"

"Yes… we tried to make the food and it turned out as a failure so we had no choice but to throw everything away," Lian said and Tsun rubbed his temple.

"Asahi…"

"Yes?"

"Can I trouble you to go buy the gro…"

"No need," Ding said cutting him off," let's get going."

The four looked at him urging him to say more but Ding just turned and walked out the door.

"Hey!"

Lian and Cole removed their aprons and rushed out after him leaving behind an uninterested Tsun and Asahi. Asahi turned to Tsun and he smiled.

"Let's go."

Asahi gave him a brief nod and together they made their way to the underground parking lot where they had parked their car. Upon arrival, they met with Ding and the others.

"Young master, I need your help," he said and handed him the address.

Tsun looked at him and took the paper on which an address was scribbled on messily," This address is…"

He looked at Ding who only nod his head," Am not well acquainted… can you lead the way?"

"Sure. Asahi, drive Ding's car would you?"

"No need for that young master, I can drive by myself."

Tsun turned and looked at Ding making him lower his gaze," I know what am saying."

And with that, he got into his car, started the engine and drove down the exit.

"If I may," Asahi excused himself and got into the driver's seat.

Once everyone was settled, he started the engine and drove after Tsun's car down the road. After a few hours, the two cars came to a stop by a huge gate and when Lian moved to open the window, Asahi looked at him from the mirror.

"Don't do that."

"Why not?" he asked confusedly," I just want to see the building clearly."

Ahead of them, Tsun got out of his car, talked to the guard for a few minutes and the guard looked at Ding's car, pat Tsun's shoulder and indicated for the gates to be opened. The two cars drove into the compound and parked beside each other. They all got out of the cars and walked down the stony path leading to the lavish building. Once they arrived at the entrance, the guards stopped them in their tracks.

"Do you have a reservation sirs?" one guard asked and Tsun pushed his way past Lian to the front.

"Reservation?" Tsun asked in disbelief," why would I need a reservation to visit Mr. Gin?"

"You are Mr. Gin's distinguished guests right? Forgive my rudeness sir.. please go on in."

The guard moved aside paving way for them and Tsun nod his head in satisfaction at this. He walked into the building and Lian rushed to his side.

"That was impressive… who is this Mr. Gin?" he asked curiously.

Tsun shuffled his hair and smiled," Let's just say… he's a friend of mine. Come on, this way."

They walked for a few more minutes before coming to a stop by a huge hall aligned with neatly made tables. And the sweet aroma radiating around them made Lian and Cole salivate. Asahi noticed this and chuckled lightly.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"

Lian shook his head in response," No need, we're not that hu.."

His stomach growled interrupting him and his cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Tsun shook his head and gently placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Come on, don't be so polite, Asahi will get you some food if you're starving."

"But how could…"

"Hold up!" Cole said his hand raised," if you don't want to eat then you are on your own. Am starving."

He grabbed both Asahi's and Lian's hands, bowed and pulled them down the opposite path leading to the tables. Ding watched this in complete silence and Tsun noticed this. He playfully nudged him with his elbow and Ding turned his gaze to him.

"What?"

"You hungry too?"

"Nonsense," he replied bluntly and walked away from him.

"No need to be shy. It was just a question.. hey!"

Tsun rushed after him as a waiter walked past them and towards the table where Lian and the others were seated.

"What would you like to order?" he asked.

"This looks good… this too… oh this looks delicious… damn this looks tasty as well… I don't know what to choose," Cole said and both Asahi and Lian chuckled at this.

Asahi handed the waiter the menu and placed the order," Your restaurants main course please."

"Right away," he said and walked out of sight.

"What did you order?" Cole asked and Asahi smiled.

"Not telling you," he replied and teasingly pinched his cheeks.

Lian watched as the two were playing and a thought struck him. If he was to find out more about the two mafia leaders, then he would need someone to answer some of his questions. He had tried asking Cole before but what he got in return were positive responses. Though not sure if Asahi's answers would satisfy his curiosity, he had to try and get something out of him, something he would deem worthy to report to the chief.

"Say Asahi, can I ask you a question?"

Asahi looked at him and nodded slightly," What do you want to know Lian?"

"How long have you worked for…"

"Master Ding and Tsun?"
