Yuan Da's side was incredibly arrogant; they won all the money.
Yun Yishu felt somewhat uncomfortable looking at the scene before her.
This Yuan Da doesn't seem like a good person either; it looks like I'll have to help Deng Pingping.
"Brother Su, have Master Pang take a few men and quietly keep watch in a corner on the third floor. Zi Diao, you come up with me."
Yun Yishu and Zi Diao, wearing veils, slowly walked upstairs, breaking the silence. "Oh, Sister Deng, you didn't even tell your little brother you were going out to make a scene."
"What, are you afraid your brother will win your money? That's really not fair."
Deng Pingping was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Yun Yishu with a blank expression.
Hey bro, who are you?
Hong Erjie, the second-in-command of the Caobang gang standing next to Deng Pingping, also looked bewildered. However, seeing Yun Yishu's handsome appearance, she developed a certain fondness and affection for him.
Zi Diao stood behind Yun Yishu, glaring angrily at the person blocking her way. Seeing the fierce look in the girl's eyes, Yuan Da's brother consciously made way.
Yun Yishu sat down next to Deng Pingping as if they were old friends.
"I could hear Sister Deng talking about it from outside. What's wrong? Why didn't you invite your little brother to come and join the fun? Are you afraid I'll steal your thunder?"
Having spent years navigating the world of martial arts, Deng Pingping listened to Yun Yishu's words and noticed the expression on the face of Su Buqing, the manager of the money exchange. She seemed to understand something and said, "Ah, look how petty I was."
"Since you're here, let's all have some fun together! More people means more excitement."
"Brothers, my younger brother here is the best at dice gambling in the capital. Don't blame me for not warning you, if you don't want to lose everything, you'd better get lost!"
"Don't end up begging and pleading to pay back your gambling debts; that would be a disgrace to us river transport businessmen!"
Although Deng Pingping didn't recognize Yun Yishu and looked at him with a puzzled expression, she had been in the martial arts world for many years and continued the conversation.
"Yes, that's right!"
The people around Deng Pingping started to cheer.
"Deng Pingping, stop trying to scare people. How could a pale-faced scholar like him possibly be a leader?"
Yuan Da looked on with disdain.
"Brothers, bet!"
"Bet big, bet everything!"
"Alright then, since you're betting on big, then Sister Deng and I will bet on small."
As he spoke, Yun Yishu pushed the silver notes on the table to the front.
Yun Yishu and Zi Diao remained silent, watching Xiao Yao, who was intently shaking the dice, her ears twitching slightly, before finally placing the wooden box face down on the table.
"Big big!"
"So tiny!"
Xiaoyao opened the lid and saw that all three sieves inside were filled with the same color, "one".
We won!
"Damn it, you guys are cheating!"
Yuan roared angrily in frustration.
"Hey, Brother Yuan, you can't just say things like that. Did you see us cheating?"
"How did we cheat? Did you cheat when you won just now?"
Deng Pingping looked at Yuan Da with a mocking expression.
"I don't care about all that beating around the bush, just smash it!"
"If you piss me off, you'll all be in deep trouble!"
Yuan Dayi tried to overturn the table, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift it.
When Yun Yishu opened the gambling den, he anticipated that some rogues would overturn the tables and smash the chairs, so he filled the table legs with stones. It would take five or six people to lift the table.
"You filthy scum! Bah!"
Yuan Dazheng had nowhere to vent his anger, so he roared furiously, baring his teeth and claws, before collapsing to the ground with a thud. Behind him, Master Pang chuckled at Yun Yishu, revealing two large white teeth.
Yun Yishu covered her mouth and chuckled. This Second Master Pang really understood the essence of "capture the king first to catch the thief".
"Why are you hitting people?"
A burly, dark-skinned man standing next to Yuan Da shouted, "I'm going to report this to the authorities!"
Who do you think you are?
A woman next to Deng Pingping spat.
"This is our second-in-command!" Yuan Da's men exclaimed, their faces flushed and necks red.
"I don't care who you are, you shameless scoundrel, you ungrateful wretch!"
"You're causing trouble at the money exchange and you still want to report it to the authorities? Is your head full of mush? If the soldiers come, we'll all be in deep trouble!" the woman next to Deng Pingping mocked.
"Where is this rule from? You think you can just cause trouble if you lose?"
Yun Yishu smiled as he looked at the second-in-command beside Yuan Da. He stood up and walked to the man. "What you're hiding in your sleeve, I suppose you don't want to or dare to show it to everyone."
“I felt something was off earlier. Gambling involves winning and losing, so why are you all winning? Don’t think that the money exchange is just for show and that you can’t see through it. It’s just that the time hasn’t come yet and you’re too lazy to expose us.”
"That's what the woman next to Deng Pingping said."
The second-in-command looked somewhat flustered, and his eyes darted around.
"Either you carry your boss out of here, or you go to the authorities and argue your case!"
"You'll be in big trouble if you ruin the money exchange's business!" Master Pang, who hadn't spoken until now, shouted, waving his fist, which looked like a big steamed bun, scaring his henchmen into taking a few steps back.
When the other henchmen saw that Yuan Da had fallen to the ground, and the second-in-command had been rendered speechless, with the burly, glaring Pang Erye standing behind him, they all wilted and looked at the second-in-command, waiting for his orders.
"Walk!"
The second-in-command shouted helplessly, and Yuan Da's brothers carried Yuan Da away from the money shop.
After leading the group away from the money exchange, Zi Diao and Xiao Yao went about their own business, helping the staff on the second floor to greet the new customers and disperse the onlookers.
Deng Pingping and the woman beside her told their brothers to wait outside, while the two of them sat down and talked to Yun Yishu.
"What is your surname, younger brother? We can tell you must be the manager of this money exchange, right?"
Deng Pingping seemed to have changed her demeanor. Instead of glaring angrily at Yuan Da and his group earlier, she smiled as she looked at Yun Yishu.
Yun Yishu looked at the woman in front of him. This woman was different from the people he had met before. She had a more forthright and unrestrained personality.
He had never met anyone like this before, but his forthrightness and carefree attitude were somewhat similar to Jin Zhuangzhuang's.
"Yes, just call me Xiaoshu."
"Thanks to my brother's help just now, otherwise we brothers, being so concerned about saving face, would have lost all the money we'd earned in the past six months," Deng Pingping said gratefully.
Yun Yishu then took a closer look at Deng Pingping. She was probably in her thirties, with dark and rough skin, likely due to years of exposure to the elements.
She had a pointed face and long eyebrows, and her appearance wasn't particularly beautiful, but her eyes looked weathered and seemed to see through everything.
"No need to be so polite, Chief Deng. I also can't stand Yuan Da's style."
"If word gets out, it won't be good for Duoduo Money Shop's reputation."
