Chapter 165: It's not a curse, it's luck
Li Rong's heart trembled, and he used the listening card again, but the voice he heard afterwards had nothing to do with Wu De.
If Ade doesn't go home for dinner, I won't go back either. Let's go to Ashana's.
Wu Xiong got in the car and left quickly.
The remaining dealers were talking to Officer Zheng.
"Aguan, I heard someone won 1.5 million. What happened?"
"I asked someone to investigate. It was just an accident," Officer Zheng replied.
"Is it really an accident? Could the news have leaked?" Several dealers were skeptical.
This time they planned to take all the money from the horse racing betting. Even though 1.5 million was not a lot, they were reluctant to part with it.
"I'm the only one who knows about this, so there's definitely no problem. Do you want to check it out on your side?" Zheng Guan's eyes grew colder, and he didn't take these elders whom he should call uncles seriously at all.
He even dared to attack his own father, so he is not afraid of others!
Several dealers finally realized that the young man in front of them was no longer the little beggar who looked for food in the trash can, but the actual leader of the Axe Gang, whom they could not afford to offend.
"It must be just a coincidence, Officer, you're busy!"
Several dealers laughed dryly and said goodbye.
Officer Zheng looked coldly at the cars going away. Sooner or later, he would dominate Hong Kong Island and no one would dare to oppose him.
Wu De invited them to an old restaurant, which served traditional Cantonese cuisine, which tasted delicious.
Luo Xinxin and Li Rong both ate a lot. This restaurant was a bit expensive, but the food was really delicious. They would definitely come here often in the future.
"I'm having a birthday party next week. Would you like to come?"
Wu De invited warmly.
"There will definitely be a lot of important people attending your birthday party, so we'd better not go, but I will prepare a birthday present for you."
Luo Xinxin refused.
"It's just the four of us. It's actually a rehearsal party for my birthday. My real birthday is eight months from now, but I probably won't be able to hold it then, so we're having a few more parties in advance to avoid any regrets."
Wu De explained with a smile that he holds a birthday party every month, basically celebrating with Zheng Guan. Now with two more friends, it will definitely be lively.
"Then we'll attend on time next week."
Luo Xinxin agreed.
After dinner, they took Officer Zheng's car home. After getting off the car, Officer Zheng also got out. With his back to Wu De in the car, he whispered, "Don't change your appearance next week. A-De doesn't like his friends to lie to him."
He realized at first sight that these two people were not their real faces, so he suspected that they had inside information and were disguised to place bets.
Li Rong and Luo Xinxin both agreed.
After the car started, Wu De reached out of the window and waved to them: "See you next week!"
"goodbye!"
The two men also waved, and after the car drove away, they carried a sack of money upstairs.
After closing the doors and windows and drawing the curtains, Li Rong poured the money onto the ground. There were piles of banknotes, many of which were new, shining with charming light. It was beautiful.
Luo Xinxin couldn't let go and caressed each pile of money. It turned out that she had to make money through illegal means. She would never get rich by the legitimate means even if she worked herself to death.
"Let's go horse racing later. This is still the fastest way to make money!"
Luo Xinxin put all the money into the space and said happily.
"Official Zheng is also the banker, and he already suspects us."
Li Rong disagreed. Zheng Guan was a tough guy and it was best not to provoke him.
"We also need to take a break from the casinos. Half of the casinos on Hong Kong Island are owned by Zheng Guan. He will definitely be able to track us down."
Li Rong was a little annoyed. If he had known that he would meet Officer Zheng, he would not have gone to the horse farm.
“Then how do we make money?”
The smile on Luo Xinxin's face froze instantly. These two were the ones who made money the fastest.
"I've already made 1.5 million. Let's take a break. I'm sure there will be other ways in the future."
Li Rong was not in a hurry at all. There were many rich people in Hong Kong Island and it was not difficult to make money. Now he wanted to figure out one thing: why did Wu Xiong say that the Wu family owed Wu De?
"Wu De won't live past twenty because of the Wu family curse. Maybe that's the reason?"
After hearing this, Luo Xinxin thought it was quite normal.
"No, the curse is something that happened to Mr. Wu's generation, but Wu Xiong feels more like he has harmed his son with his own hands. And don't you think the relationship between them is very awkward?"
Li Rong shook his head, he was still skeptical.
"What's wrong with that? The father and son are so loving!"
Luo Xinxin felt that he was thinking too much, but she didn't feel anything wrong at all.
"You don't understand. Wu Xiong's love is like stabbing his son in the back. He feels deeply indebted, and then he tries every possible way to make amends. Do you understand?"
Li Rong expressed his feelings.
"I'm so smart, how could I not understand?"
Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes. She was an extremely smart college student.
However, after hearing what Li Rong said, she became a little skeptical. It seemed a bit inconsistent. She used her brain, which had read countless online articles in her previous life, and quickly deduced that the matter of the Wu family should be classified as metaphysical literature.
so--
"Generally speaking, people who are prosperous may not be rich, or people who are rich may not be prosperous. Very few people are prosperous in both. Especially those who engage in shady businesses, their descendants will generally not be prosperous unless they use extreme magic. The Wu family is not cursed, they are just borrowing their luck."
Luo Xinxin came to this conclusion after careful reasoning.
In short, all the backlash from the Wu family's illegal activities was concentrated on one person. This person had to be a direct descendant of the Wu family and had to have a strong fortune. After the master's treatment, this person bore all the bad luck of the Wu family.
Therefore, for three consecutive generations of the Wu family, one person must die in each generation to ensure the prosperity of the Wu family's wealth and people.
Luo Xinxin explained her conjecture in detail, and the more she spoke, the closer she felt to the truth. After all, the wealthy people in Hong Kong Island all believe in feng shui, and the more money they have, the more they believe in it.
Rich people built buildings to suppress their original wives, moved ancestral tombs to change feng shui, let their daughters marry into wealthy families, and even used their own sons to borrow their lives in order to prolong their lives...
She had read a lot of secrets like this in her previous life, some true and some false, some true and some false, but she believed them anyway.
"Do you have any research on magic?"
Li Rong looked at her with a new respect, but he had not thought of this.
"If you do some research, you'll find that magic is very popular in Hong Kong Island, especially among the wealthy and celebrities."
Luo Xinxin cited a lot of gossip from past lives, such as lipstick added with corpse oil and blood, which many celebrities used and was said to keep them popular.
There are also things like raising ghosts and worshipping fox spirits, which are common in the entertainment industry. Some artists will do anything to become famous.
Li Rong frowned as he listened. No wonder the country wanted to ban feudal superstitions. These people in Hong Kong were almost going crazy.
"Should we remind Wu De?" Luo Xinxin asked.
"There's no evidence, and he wouldn't believe it even if I told him."
Li Rong shook his head. The Wu family had spoiled Wu De for 19 years. If they suddenly told him the truth, he might not be able to accept it.
"Then he will really die in eight months."
Luo Xinxin sighed. Wu De was a simple and sincere person, and she felt a little reluctant.
And she still wanted to support him and Zheng Guan. How could she support them after he died? It couldn't be a human-ghost relationship, right?
"Talk to Officer Zheng, do him a favor, and then go to the casino to make some money."
Li Rong thought of a good idea. Instead of trying to win money secretly, it would be better to go openly and greet Officer Zheng in advance.
