School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 561 - 563: Dividing the Spoils
It was not easy to deal with the wound. Zhang Dagou was in excruciating pain.
"Sisi, I’m heading back to school first," Xiao Han said, "How about I treat you to a meal tomorrow?"
"Sure!" Liu Sisi exclaimed, thrilled, "You said it yourself, don’t back out now."
"Of course, I won’t back out!" Xiao Han chuckled.
Liu Sisi’s lips curled into a smile, then she said, "So... tomorrow afternoon, or tomorrow evening?"
"Tomorrow evening!" Xiao Han replied.
"Deal!" Liu Sisi nodded without hesitation.
Afterward, Xiao Han drove off with a few people. Liu Sisi watched Xiao Han’s retreating figure, feeling incredibly happy. She was pondering what outfit to wear to the dinner? What kind of makeup should she wear tomorrow?
......
Back at school.
In Dormitory 101, the door was tightly shut, and the curtains were drawn.
Liu Bin placed his woven bag on the table, then said, "Quick, close and lock the door. Also shut the windows for me."
"Yeah!" Everyone immediately nodded.
Soon, the room was pitch dark. Liu Bin switched on his desk lamp.
Zhang Feng pulled out bundles of banknotes and several brown paper folders from the woven bag, then tossed the bag aside. Zhang Feng looked at the money, extremely excited.
Zhang Feng had never seen so much money in his life. Indeed, this amount was astronomical for him, and it could significantly improve his family’s living conditions. That was what he was thinking.
"Right... what should we do with this money?" Zhang Feng asked hurriedly.
"What should we do?" Liu Bin paused, then said, "Isn’t it obvious? We should split it equally!"
"Split it?" Zhang Dagou burst into laughter, "Great idea, each of us could get about a hundred thousand!"
"That much!" Zhang Feng was startled.
Xiao Han smiled slightly, "This money is ill-gotten. I think we shouldn’t split it."
"Xiao Han, what do you suggest then?" Liu Bin asked on the side.
"We should donate this money!" Xiao Han replied, then added, "Money gotten wrongly feels shameful to keep. Donating it could also accumulate some merit for us."
"Forget it!" Zhang Dagou shook his head, "Donating it would just end up in the pockets of corrupt officials, better we spend it ourselves!"
"Right, I agree with Da Gu’s point," Zhang Feng said quickly.
"But, I think we really shouldn’t spend this money," Liu Bin smiled awkwardly, "We should donate it to the Red Cross."
"To fund Guo Meimei?" Zhang Feng scoffed coldly.
Liu Bin chuckled, "Anyway, the Red Cross has done some good deeds over the years. Besides, if nobody donates to the Red Cross, they probably couldn’t accomplish anything."
"That’s true, but if we really do donate, it shouldn’t be to the Red Cross!" Zhang Feng shook his head, "It would be better to directly give this money to some genuinely poor people."
"I agree with Zhang Feng," Zhang Dagou said.
The four of them rapidly fell into a disagreement. Xiao Han and Liu Bin wanted to donate the money while Zhang Dagou and Zhang Feng felt it should be split. After all, the money was ill-gotten and needed to be spent quickly. Moreover, Zhang Dagou needed money for his relationship; if he could get a hundred thousand, it would ease his financial struggles during university, allowing him to afford stays at luxury hotels whenever he wanted.
Zhang Feng felt the same; his family was struggling, and he was also in a relationship with Xiaohua. Dating inevitably involves spending money. Although Xiaohua had always been the one paying, Zhang Feng, being a man, would feel hurt in his pride if he never contributed financially. It was likely that the relationship wouldn’t last long.
Xiao Han had considered these issues; thus, he was also somewhat at a loss.

The four remained silent for a long time.
"Maybe we should just donate it," Zhang Feng finally spoke up.
"Didn’t you always disagree with donating?" Zhang Dagou was taken aback, "Why the sudden change of heart?"
"After all, the money isn’t ours," Zhang Feng smiled, "Spending it would feel somewhat guilty. So, might as well donate it."
"You..." Zhang Dagou insisted, "Even if you donate, it might not even be used for others."
Zhang Dagou’s point was not without issue.
Thus, Zhang Dagou had no interest in these donations. He wouldn’t donate now or ever. He even urged his friends and relatives to firmly refrain from donating.
Xiao Han’s lips curled into a smile, for he noticed that Liu Bin and the others had expressions that seemed rather complex.
"So...," Xiao Han glanced at the others and said, "the four of us are essentially one, all brothers. So, we should stick to unanimity. If any one of us casts a dissenting vote, the proposal cannot be passed. Therefore, since Da Gu insisted that we divide the money equally, I personally think we should split it."
"Okay!" Liu Bin heard this, nodded, and asked, "We have 230,000 RMB here, plus over 30,000 in foreign currency. How do we split it?"
"Split it all," Xiao Han declared.
"Okay!" Liu Bin nodded.
RMB was easy to divide, 230,000 split among four people meant each person got 57,500. Each would get over 8,000 in foreign currency.
Zhang Feng, holding the money, seemed very excited. He said eagerly, "Then... what about these US Dollars?"
"Go to the bank and exchange it tomorrow," Zhang Dagou chuckled and said, "This money can be exchanged for a good amount of RMB at the bank."
"Really?" Zhang Feng hesitated.
"Of course!" Zhang Dagou nodded, then suggested, "Do you want to come with me tomorrow to exchange it?"
"Sure!" Zhang Feng nodded.
Liu Bin tossed the money into a cabinet and curiously asked, "Zhang Feng, what do you plan to do with this money?"
"I’ve thought about it," Zhang Feng sighed and said, "I’ve been dating Xiaohua for so long and haven’t yet given her a decent gift. So, this time I plan to buy her a dress and take her out for a Western meal as a way to make it up to her."
Upon hearing this, the roommates all fell silent.
No wonder Zhang Feng insisted on sharing the money. A love without money can make one feel breathless and inferior.
Liu Bin looked up at Xiao Han and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, as he suddenly understood Xiao Han’s considerate motives. Xiao Han just gave a slight smile, staying silent. Liu Bin laughed and said, "How about treating us to a meal too?"
"I can," Zhang Feng nodded and said, "I’ll definitely treat you all to a good meal later."
With so much money, Zhang Feng ought to bring most of it home for family expenses. After all, he had a mother plagued by illness and a father with meager earnings. Their family was so poor they were nearly destitute. Zhang Feng also had to work part-time over weekends to support his family.
Liu Bin’s lips curled into a smile, he chuckled, then said, "Alright, we’ll remember that you owe us a meal!"
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t forget," Zhang Feng quickly nodded.
"Let’s all go to sleep," Xiao Han spoke.
At that moment, Liu Bin walked up to Xiao Han and asked, "Xiao Han, you say we emptied the safe on Golden Island. Do you think Ye Shisan will let us go?"
"Well...," Xiao Han hesitated.
"I feel like they won’t let us off easily," Liu Bin added.
"Don’t worry," Xiao Han chuckled and then explained, "She dare not do much. Plus, the safe now has been moved by the Dao Meng. This issue should be counted on Dao Meng’s head, right? We didn’t touch the safe, not even a tad!"
"Well..." Liu Bin, hearing this, suddenly laughed and said, "Heh, you’re right!"
"By the way, check those documents inside," Xiao Han mentioned.
"Right on!" Liu Bin replied, "Had you not mentioned, I wouldn’t have remembered."
Immediately, Liu Bin opened the documents. Inside the leather document folder, there were some unintelligible papers that seemed to be a partnership agreement. Each document folder appeared to contain a USB drive.
"What’s in these USB drives?" Xiao Han asked.
"Let me check!" Liu Bin quickly responded.
He plugged in the USB drive, which turned out to be encrypted.
"Damn, it’s encrypted," Liu Bin frowned and said, "This encryption seems pretty advanced; won’t be able to crack it any time soon."
"What should we do?" Xiao Han asked.
"We’ll just have to wait until I crack it," Liu Bin said helplessly, "But, I copied quite a lot of data from Ye Shisan’s computer."
After saying that, Liu Bin immediately opened his cloud drive and began copying all its contents.
While copying, he decided to check the contents.
"Is it this raunchy?" Zhang Dagou leaned over to look.
The materials inside were all about training women, extremely pornographic and violent videos. There were not only various intimate photos of women but also videos of men and women vigorously engaging multiple times in front of the camera. These materials were Ye Shisan’s means of controlling others.
