Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 194: The Main Course is Indeed Delicious (5)
"Both leaders of the Skyfire Association are Fire Element. Inside the gang, no one dares to betray the leaders, otherwise they’ll be met with Skyfire," Brother Cai said with a trembling voice.
Ye Nai ignored him.
The person who could have replied was forcibly silenced.
As Ye Nai listened to Brother Cai’s confessions about the gang’s secrets, she searched through Space for anything that might be of use to her now that she had ransacked their two families’ belongings.
To her surprise, she found two high-end laptops and an all-in-one printer and copier in Space.
When Brother Cai finished talking, Ye Nai casually pulled out a computer desk and placed the two laptops on it.
"Brother Cai, do your computers have startup passwords?"
"My computer?!" Just as he was easing his heart, Brother Cai’s heart soared with panic, struggling to crane his neck to see where the computers were.
Sister Hong was in the same state, but could see nothing and was sweating with anxiety.
"Hmm, you also have a printer. You’re pretty well prepared, aren’t you?"
"Sometimes we print a few promotional ads for the mahjong parlor."
Right after Brother Cai finished speaking, the three conscious people in the room heard the startup sound of a computer, followed by another, indicating there were two computers.
"Hmm, both have startup passwords."
Ye Nai removed Sun Guangjin’s gag.
"Sun Guangjin, is one of these computers yours?"
"Big Brother, one of them is my girlfriend’s. It’s her computer. I don’t have a computer—I’ve had enough of computers at the internet cafe," Sun Guangjin quickly blurted out as soon as he could speak.
"Do you know the password?"
"It should be her birth year, try 2134?"
Shortly after, a cartoonish sound played.
"That’s it, that’s the sound. She changed it herself," Sun Guangjin said with relief.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Brother Sun. How about you, Brother Cai?"
Ye Nai carefully turned off the computer’s automatic internet connection feature and stowed it in Space.
However, Brother Cai was not willing to cooperate.
"Big Brother, there’s really nothing in the computer... Ah!"
Brother Cai didn’t finish his sentence before he let out a scream.
Both Sun Guangjin and Sister Hong shuddered instinctively.
Ye Nai let him suffer for a minute.
"Brother Cai, I’m not patient, don’t provoke me."
"I’ll talk; the startup password is 5798."

Seconds later, the computer made a soft ’ding-dong’ sound, a system default audio notification.
Ye Nai first checked the various hard drives, and the first folder she clicked into was the one containing the loan records.
```
Opening several files to take a cursory look, they indeed contained loan records: who had borrowed how much principal, the interest rate, the due date, how much was due each month, and how much had been paid off the previous month—there were detailed records of everything.
There was also a large disk full of folders, named with people’s names and dates. Clicking in revealed photos and videos, all of borrowers holding their ID cards and videos of them willingly signing and fingerprinting, totaling over three hundred files.
"Brother Cai is impressive, isn’t he? Can running a mahjong parlor be so profitable? And even branching out into the lending business?"
As Sister Hong, who was straining her neck and trying to inch towards the computer desk, heard this comment, she suddenly deflated, slumping onto the ground, void of any thoughts.
"No, no, the mahjong parlor earns honest money through physical labor, it’s a legitimate business with a business license."
"So, you use the cover of a legal business to engage in illegal lending? Clever."
Brother Cai, disheartened, didn’t want to respond—what use was all the money he earned if it all ended up in someone else’s hands?
Ye Nai didn’t speak either; she closed the folders, also turned off automatic networking, and then collected the four people and a pile of items on the floor back into Space, returning to the hotel.
Transitioning suddenly from the pitch-black woods to the bright world, Ye Nai was so dazzled by the sunlight that she had to sit down and rest for a while before she took out Brother Cai and Sister Hong’s phones to check their bank balances.
The passwords were correct: Brother Cai’s account had a total of just over a million, while Sister Hong’s had more than twenty million.
Ye Nai, recalling Brother Cai’s pained expression at the time, understood him deeply.
Then she pulled out her own laptop desk, found Sun Wenjin’s girlfriend’s phone, connected it to the computer, and started searching through the messages, photos, and videos on the phone to see if there were any scandalous secrets.
This girl had been sound asleep from the beginning and hadn’t been woken up; the Gaofei Gang and Gaofei Internet Cafe topics hadn’t implicated her.
After scrolling for over half an hour, there was nothing else in the phone besides lovey-dovey photos and videos with Sun Guangjin. Everything else was related to beauty enhancement, with groups added for various plastic surgery, skincare, fitness, and work.
The work groups were all about photo editing; photographers would shoot photos and pass them to her for editing. Her full-time job was as a photo retoucher, and she had plenty of job opportunities, having to travel every month.
To be fair, this girl truly put in the effort to look beautiful.
Then taking out that laptop, she logged in using the password and checked the folders inside: indeed, there were a large number of photo editing-related images, and a smaller portion was her cosmetic surgery selfie diary.
Finding no evidence to incriminate her completely, Ye Nai let her go. She didn’t touch the money in the phone either; she switched off the computer, cleaned the surface of both the laptop and phone, and tossed them back into Space for Fungus to lick them once more, ensuring that no trace of her would be left.
Then, she activated Space Teleportation, heading directly to the home of Sun Guangjin and that girl.
Without any further actions, she simply placed the girl on the living room floor, next to her were her phone, house keys, identification documents, laptop, and other personal essentials, letting her wake up on her own after dark.
As for what she would think after waking up to a home stripped bare, not even a lightbulb spared, that was no longer Ye Nai’s concern.
Ye Nai didn’t return the girl’s other possessions because they had been mixed up with Brother Cai and Sister Hong’s belongings, and even if she could distinguish whose was whose, she couldn’t put them all back in their original places.
Especially the small items, which often reflect the owner’s habits—things not being in their expected place can make a house seem haunted, so it was better to leave nothing at all, not even a change of clothes. This would force the girl to call the police while cursing Sun Guangjin to a bad end as she sat in a starkly empty house.
Then, she went directly to Brother Cai and Sister Hong’s homes.
In the similarly bare living room, she first transferred all Sun Guangjin’s money to Brother Cai then shuffled Brother Cai’s funds to Sister Hong.
Why go to all this trouble? Those who have watched crime dramas know it’s to leave digital traces; when the signal path of the phones is traced, the last online location will be here, but nothing will be found upon arrival.
The girl had been dropped off, but the other three had a different destination.
Why she had been checking information on Gaofei Internet Cafe and the Skyfire Association was precisely for this purpose.
When it comes to killing by proxy and destroying corpses without leaving a trace, is there a better helper than a rival gang? Letting them do it would ensure no traces were left; after all, they were proficient with years of experience.
Checking carefully that no item was left behind, Ye Nai activated Space Teleportation back to the hotel, leaving Spore to clean up her sweat, dust from her shoe soles, and other traces.
After a shower and a change of clothes, Ye Nai called the Seafood Restaurant and booked a small private room, then went downstairs to have lunch.
