"I know I need to keep a low profile."
Su Chengguo automatically interpreted the gray-clothed man's cries as something else. He laughed, climbed into bed, rubbed his feet with Zhao Jixue's blanket, and then went to sleep contentedly.
For Su Chengguo, the night was uneventful, but Zhao Jixue didn't sleep a wink.
To prevent any further problems, I made egg noodles for Su Chengguo well in advance.
Su Chengguo slurped down two large bowls of food.
Zhao Jifa's children were going to school, and their eyes turned red with envy as they watched Su Chengguo eat so many eggs.
Zhao Jifa saw this and held a grudge in his heart.
So as soon as Zhao Jixue and Su Chengguo went out, he immediately followed them quietly.
Zhao Jixue didn't bring anything with him, just a backpack.
On the way, Su Chengguo didn't ask any questions.
After transferring buses in the town to reach the city, Su Chengguo remained dazed the entire way.
Once they arrived in the city, Zhao Jixue found a hotel and the two of them stayed there.
"Take a nap, and I'll show you the world tonight!"
Zhao Jixue patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder.
Su Chengguo obediently nodded and went to bed to sleep.
He had just fallen asleep when Zhao Jixue got up and went out.
Unbeknownst to Zhao Jixue, Su Chengguo got up and quietly followed him as soon as he left.
While following Zhao Jixue, Su Chengguo discovered something very interesting: he saw Zhao Jifa secretly following behind Zhao Jixue.
Su Chengguo couldn't help but smile; this was getting interesting.
What Su Chengguo didn't know was that Su Chenggong was following him.
Zhao Jixue turned into a small alley and bumped into someone.
"Is your operation ready? I've brought him here, and you can't go back on your word! I'll bring him in, I'll win 50,000 and leave, the rest is none of my business!"
Zhao Jixue lowered his voice, his tone leaving no room for argument: 50,000 was double his previous stake. He would retire from gambling once he got the 50,000.
Gambling is a bad thing, and he knew that this path was too treacherous.
With this 50,000 yuan, he can build a big house and start a small business to live a stable life!
"Don't worry, our boss will never go back on his promise to you."
The man smiled, lit a cigarette, and looked at Zhao Jixue with disdain, clearly not taking Zhao Jixue seriously.
Zhao Jixue was very unhappy. He pointed at the man and said through gritted teeth, "I know you guys have some tricks up your sleeves, but let me make this clear first: this 50,000 is rightfully mine. If you dare to rob me, I'll fight you to the death!"
Zhao Jixue knew best about the cutthroat world of gangsters. He had won 25,000 yuan last time and was ready to quit, but he was tricked.
Moreover, even if he were to take it away, it would be a problem. With such a large sum of money, how could the people who run the casino let him take it away so easily? The amount is too large, and he would be watched as soon as he went out. The money could very well be stolen, which is called double-crossing.
The money you lost belongs to the gambling den; you'll never get it back, even if you die.
The money you win still belongs to the gambling house; whether you can take it with you depends on your ability.
"Alright, alright, it's just 50,000 yuan. It might be more than you can earn in your lifetime, but it's just a drop in the ocean for us."
The man reached out and patted Zhao Jixue on the shoulder.
Zhao Jixue felt slighted and unwelcome, which made him very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
That's just how society is.
"Go back and keep a close eye on that kid. Just cooperate well tonight."
The man didn't care what Zhao Jixue thought; he just wanted to get things done.
After giving his instructions, the man left.
Zhao Jixue secretly spat before leaving.
Zhao Jifa clenched his fists. So this is how his younger brother makes money. He can earn 50,000 yuan if he does this job well. How much of that 50,000 yuan does he plan to give to himself?
If she truly cared for him as her brother, she would at least give herself 20,000, if not split equally.
But he didn't reveal a word. Zhao Jifa was more inclined to believe that he wouldn't share with him. Zhou Li's words were harsh, but the reasoning was correct. Everyone can learn to make money on their own. Rather than relying on his younger brother's whims, he should learn the skills to make money on his own!
Zhao Jifa also left quickly.
Su Chengguo walked even faster. He was far away, and if he hadn't been so good at hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear their conversation. When he heard that it was a gambling scheme, Su Chengguo wasn't surprised; it was pretty much what he had guessed.
He quickly came up with a plan to deal with it.
...
Su Chenggong followed the man, eventually leading him into a small building.
Su Chenggong looked around and finally climbed over the wall.
This is a privately owned building, and it's well-built.
Thank goodness I don't have a dog, otherwise he would have been spotted the moment he came in.
There was no one outside, but it was quite lively inside.
This must be a gang.
Gao Feng was surrounded by a crowd of people, smoking a thick, black cigarette.
Su Chenggong had never seen it before and didn't know what it was.
He simply held his breath and listened intently.
"Brother Feng, everything's taken care of."
After entering the room, the man went directly to Gao Feng to report.
Gao Feng nodded and said with a smile, "Li Yong, sit down and talk slowly."
The man's name was Li Yong. After he sat down, he recounted his encounter with Zhao Jixue in detail. After finishing, he thoughtfully asked, "Brother Feng, Zhao Jixue wants to take 50,000 yuan. Who should handle this part?"
Gao Feng smiled and said, "No rush. A gambler will eventually come back. Let's focus on Su Chengguo first and resolve his issues first."
“The Su family should return to its original state. If they want to rise up, they'll be trying to seize our resources. We should destroy them first, and then everything will be resolved.”
After Gao Feng finished speaking in a deep voice, he took a puff of the cigar in his hand.
The Gao family occupies many resources in the fishing village, and many of the fish that fishmongers buy are processed at their fish ball factory.
Most fishermen are lucky if they can earn a hundred or so yuan a day, but the Su family can earn several thousand yuan a day. With such good luck, how could they possibly develop their business?
The world's resources are finite. Anyone who allows others to develop and threaten their own interests is a fool. So once you discover a sign of trouble, you must find a way to eliminate it!
"Brother Feng is brilliant!"
A group of people below echoed him; they all relied on Gao Feng for their livelihood and naturally wanted to curry favor with him.
Su Chenggong quietly withdrew.
Su Chenggong arrived at the hotel and found Su Chengguo. Su Chenggong used the call of a thrush to call Su Chengguo out.
As soon as the two brothers met, Su Chengguo couldn't help but complain: "Big brother, don't you know where we are? There are no thrushes here. In the city, cats meow and dogs bark!"
Put the important matters aside for now, let's first correct my older brother's misuse of coded messages.
"I understand, I'll be more careful next time."
Su Chenggong also realized that the code was wrong. Fortunately, Zhao Jixue was not so clever as to not notice it. If it were someone clever, they might have ruined the whole thing by hearing the abnormality of the code.
"Be careful next time, or even if you're my brother, I won't acknowledge you!" Su Chengguo put his arm around Su Chenggong's neck and led him away to another place.
