Chapter 104
Rose is finished.
As the most beautiful woman in Shaocheng, Rose's success is largely dependent on the favor of Brother B. If Brother B gives up on her, she will be nothing.
She went from being a beautiful woman that was envied by everyone to being a slut that men now regard as a slut. You can imagine how big the gap is in her heart.
Rose knew exactly who leaked the news, but as a person with no one to rely on, she could only accept the fact that she had offended Brother B.
When Yu Yao found her, she was lying in a shabby house recuperating from her injuries. She just raised her eyelids when she saw Yu Yao, her face was haggard, but even so it couldn't hide her stunning appearance. She looked so pitiful, truly a sick beauty.
"It's you. Why did you come to me? I can't help you anymore."
Yu Yao sat in front of her bed and didn't say anything for a long time.
She came here fully prepared, but was still frightened by Rose's condition. She still remembered how high-spirited she looked when she first met her.
But when she thought about the conversation she had with Gu Qing before coming here, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
"Don't you want revenge?" Yu Yao asked.
"Oh, I knew you had bad intentions. You didn't throw the jade away, did you? With your tricks, do you think you can hide it from Brother B? If I wanted to die, I wouldn't wait until now. And why do you think I would help you?"
She spoke rapidly, and her words did not sound logical, but she made her meaning clear. She was just worried about being retaliated by Brother B. She was by Brother B's side, so she must know a lot of his dirty deeds.
"Since I'm here to find you, I'm not afraid of being known. Think about your current situation. Do you think that even if Brother B forgets you, those people will let you off easily?"
Rose didn't say anything. She must have known Brother B very well, so she couldn't refute what Yu Yao said.
After a while, she said with a sarcastic smile: "So what? Do you really think you can beat Brother B?"
"So you think he can be a local tyrant for the rest of his life? As the saying goes, justice will prevail, and he will pay the price for his actions."
The hatred in Yu Yao's tone did not seem fake, and Rose only then began to look at her straight in the eye, "Who are you? Did you come here just for Brother B this time?"
"Yes." Yu Yao only answered with this sentence.
Rose sneered, then burst into laughter. She curled up on the bed and accidentally pulled the wound, grimacing in pain.
Yu Yao even doubted whether she had come to the wrong place. Seeing her like that, Yu Yao really couldn't laugh at all.
"If you don't want to, forget it. You can just pretend that I wasn't here today." Yu Yao stood up and prepared to leave. She felt that it was not a good thing for a woman to end up like Rose now. Even if she wanted to help her, it would not be easy.
Yu Yao felt that even if she and Gu Qing were not around, she would have such a day sooner or later. It was probably the truth that living with the king was like living with a tiger, and she herself was not a person who would settle for less.
But all this has nothing to do with her.
However, just when Yu Yao was about to give up, Rose suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait, what are you going to do?"
-
When we left Rose's place, there was a rare winter rain in Shaocheng. The raindrops fell on Yu Yao's face, which felt wet and cold, much colder than when she was in the north.
Gu Qing was standing on the side of the road holding an umbrella. When he saw Yu Yao coming out, he hurried over and handed her a glass bottle, which was used for infusion in the hospital. "Be careful of the burns."
"Where did you get this?" Yu Yao smiled and hid in his umbrella. Before he could be proud for long, she said, "You must have learned it from Second Brother Su."
Gu Qing: “…”
"We need to learn more of this good habit."
After hearing this, Gu Qing felt that he had failed. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "What did she say? Did she agree?"
Yu Yao nodded and said, "I agree. I think she should be able to do a good job."
Gu Qing, however, was not optimistic. A person's character is determined from the beginning. He had seen many betrayals along the way. Even his comrades who had been with him day and night could be like this, so how could he easily trust a former enemy?
However, he did not refute Yu Yao, so he could use it if he could.
"Yeah, but you have to be careful and don't get fooled by her."
Yu Yao did not comment.
Since the agreement with Rose, Yu Yao and her partner started their own actions.
It was the Chinese New Year during this period, and the festive atmosphere in Shaocheng seemed to be much stronger than in Beijing, but this was only on the surface. In fact, these people probably knew that inspections would be more stringent during festivals, so their precautions were also more stringent.
However, Yu Yao and the other person didn't have much to do. They just followed the prince to see some territories that the prince and Brother B were fighting over, mainly to let Brother B know that they chose the prince instead of him.
When Brother B found out about this at first, he naturally scoffed at it. To Brother B, the two of them were just passing visitors in his life, so he didn't care much. At most, he just felt sorry for the lost ring.
Of course, it's a pity for the other things they have.
These things were nothing to Brother B, who had so many "businesses", so the other party didn't take them seriously at all.
But later, when he saw Yu Yao and the other person swaggering around with the prince to his places, he became furious.
That day, Brother B was in a bad mood, so he followed the advice of his subordinates and went to his own underground casino.
This casino is the largest underground casino in the entire Shaocheng and one of Brother B’s biggest sources of income.
When he had nothing to do, he would go over and have some fun with everyone, but what he enjoyed most was listening to the noise outside the box, which was enough to show how much happiness he brought to the people here.
Don't ask him what to do with those who lost money, he didn't force them to come here, and his casino is a legitimate business, he just gambles a little bigger, but no one dares to cheat here. There is no other casino with such a conscience as him in the whole Shaocheng.
If there was one thing he hated most about that casino, it was the fact that there was a courtyard next to the prince.
Many times when I passed by there, I could see the prince showing off his shabby car in his shabby yard.
It's just shipped from Germany, what's the big deal?
If he wasn't afraid of having his own nest destroyed, he would sometimes really want to send a letter of denunciation to report the person.
"Brother B, look, it's that little girl!"
Brother B was feeling upset when he saw Yu Yao wearing a military coat, leaning on the rickshaw with a beautiful smile on her face, talking to the prince.
Suddenly Brother B didn't want to go there anymore, but if he left now, wouldn't it seem like he was very scared?
There can be no such thing as fear in Brother B's world.
So he glared at his ignorant younger brother, strode forward, and soon came to the corner. As a result, when he raised his eyes, he saw the green ring on the prince's hand.
"You... you seem to be having a good chat. What's the matter, Miss Shanshan? We are old acquaintances. Why do you only hang out with the prince? Do you look down on my brother B?"
From her behavior, Brother B could tell that this woman no longer needed his help and probably didn't want to go abroad. If she wanted to stay in Shaocheng, it would depend on whether Brother B was willing.
He had asked someone to follow them several times before, but they had always gotten rid of him. He didn't believe that the other party could always do that.
Yu Yao glanced at him calmly, and naturally saw the anger on his face. Yu Yao curled her lips and smiled, "Why? How do you want to play, Brother B? Gamble? I'm afraid that if I beat you, Brother B, I won't be able to leave your place."
Brother B's frown became deeper and deeper. After not seeing her for a few days, this woman became more and more attractive.
"Where is your little follower? He got close to our Crown Prince, and you kicked him out?" He emphasized the words "Crown Prince" very heavily, as if he wanted those people wearing armbands to arrest him right now.
"Brother B is looking for me?"
Gu Qing suddenly spoke behind him, startling him.
Brother B turned around and saw Gu Qing standing there in a daze. He turned back to look at the group of garbage behind him. Alarm bells started ringing in his heart. He didn't even notice when this person came.
Forcefully suppressing the tension in his heart, Brother B sneered, "Your beloved sister is about to be stolen away by someone, and you are still here, so don't cry when the time comes."
"Brother B, you don't need to worry about it. It's Ms. Shanshan's freedom to choose who she wants. I support her."
After saying this, he ignored Brother B's puzzled expression and walked straight towards Yu Yao.
Brother B finally realized the meaning of the saying, "If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door." Only people with abnormal brains will be with people with abnormal brains.
He wanted to leave right away, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a jade ring on the prince's other hand. Even from a distance, he could tell that the jade ring was a valuable item.
Brother B had a hunch that the thing was given to him by Lin Shan and the others. He immediately became angry and asked, "So, you don't dare to bet with me?"
"Don't you dare? Brother B, I will accompany you on whatever bet you want, but the location has to be chosen by me."
Yu Yao's confident smile made Brother B feel a little dazed, but he was more interested in Yu Yao's words. She actually wanted to bet with him. Has this person ever seen a gambling table?
What a woman who doesn't know her own limitations.
"Do you have money?" Brother B asked doubtfully.
"Even if I don't have money, don't I still have other things?" Yu Yao smiled at him, "Could it be that Brother B only cares about my money?"
Brother B has heard a lot of such provocative words, but it always sounds more interesting when it comes from such an innocent person like her.
Brother B has always been a kind and compassionate person. It is a blessing for the other party if he is chosen.
"If you say that, I'm not going to be polite. Be careful, don't become the next Rose."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you want to gamble, just do it right here in my room. I'll treat you two to dinner after the game is over."
The prince interrupted the conversation.
Finally, Brother B agreed.
There were so many people around him and they were on the main road. He didn't believe the prince would dare to do anything to him.
More importantly, he had to get Yu Yao. Sleeping with her was secondary. He couldn't stand anyone provoking him.
Yes, Brother B is not a fool. He can naturally see that the current situation is that someone is provoking him, but he doesn't care. Could it be that these people dare to cheat in front of him?
In other words, he returned to his home country. If he had stayed in Macau, he would definitely be a gambling king now.
Soon, they sat down at the table in the prince's hall.
The table here is a long marble table.
The last time Yu Yao saw a table like this was in Hong Kong City.
"How about we play something new today?" Brother B gestured to the person behind him, and the person behind him quickly took out a box, put the box on the table, and when he opened it, it turned out to be Texas Hold'em Poker.
These people are playing so fashionably!
"Do you need me to explain the rules to you?" Brother B looked much more amiable now than the last time they met.
Of course Yu Yao understood that this was probably all a fake, but he was able to pretend, so Yu Yao immediately made a gesture of invitation.
You know what, Brother B made it quite clear in just a few words.
"Well, do you understand?"
Brother B signaled his men to distribute chips to the people present. The four people playing the game were the prince, Brother B, Yu Yao and Gu Qing, and each of them received one million chips.
To be honest, Yu Yao was a little surprised that she got so many chips. They didn't play like this when they were in Hong Kong City, but the two people in front of her seemed to be used to it. Yu Yao almost thought that the two of them were going to team up to deal with her and Gu Qing.
But having already sat down, Yu Yao naturally couldn't retreat.
Not to mention that they can come up with something worth a million, they wouldn't be afraid even if they couldn't.
Fortunately, the prince had not forgotten the arrangement they had discussed, and stopped Brother B when he was about to start.
"Wait a minute, since Brother B is playing the cards, then of course our people should be the ones dealing the cards."
Brother B laughed out loud twice, looking very awkward in the empty room, but he did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he said with a smile, "Why, it turns out that the prince is also afraid that I will cheat. Okay, then send your people, come on."
The prince ignored his ridicule and clapped his hands.
Soon a graceful woman came forward, and when Brother B saw the person, his expression changed.
The person who came was none other than Rose, whom he had already given up on.
Rose used to be his woman, and almost everyone in Shaocheng knew it. Now, not only has she cheated on him and become a bitch, but she is also working for her mortal enemy. She is really awesome.
The prince seemed to be unable to see Brother B's expression. He smiled and said, "Rose, this is an old acquaintance of yours, right? Do you want to say hello?"
"No need. A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Prince, I know my current status."
very good.
Those two casual words angered Brother B again. He knew that this group of people had ulterior motives in organizing the Hongmen Banquet and had probably tricked him into joining in from the beginning. When he saw the smiling faces of Lin Shan and the other person, Brother B almost vomited blood.
No matter how angry he was, Brother B didn't want to look bad, so he quickly adjusted himself and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the prince to want to pick up other people's trash. Not only did he pick up one, he picked up three."
The prince remained calm and said to Rose, "Let's get started."
Brother B turned around and saw Lin Shan and the other person still smiling. He felt like he had punched cotton and felt extremely uncomfortable.
In this round, Gu Qing got the big blind, and the prince had the small blind in his hand, so Brother B had to bet first. He was so angry that he directly threw out a hundred thousand.
Everyone looked at him, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yu Yao had seen this kind of card playing before, and like every novice, when the cards were dealt to her, the first thing she thought of was to look at the cards. There were two cards, a three of hearts and a four of spades.
What she heard was that instead of paying attention to other people's cards, it is better to pay attention to her own cards. She doesn't know what the next card will be, so she shouldn't give up. But what does it mean to play the long game to catch the big fish? Naturally, you have to bait the fish first.
So Yu Yao just took a look and put the cards aside in frustration to indicate that he had given up.
However, she gave up, but Gu Qing would not be so kind and gave Brother B bait, and he also paid 100,000.
The same is true for the prince.
Even though she knew it was fake, Yu Yao was still nervous.
This thing is really exciting.
Soon it was time for the second round of dealing cards. Rose's nails seemed to be painted with a light layer of nail polish, and her fingers looked as white as jade, very attractive.
The cards that fell from her hand looked better.
However, just as they got the cards, one of Brother B's younger brothers suddenly came in from outside. The younger brother whispered something in his ear, and Brother B's face suddenly changed.
He glanced at the people present, his face looked extremely ugly. After a few breaths, he said, "Everyone, I have something urgent to do today, so I can't play anymore. These chips are my compensation to you. I'll leave first."
The prince said: "You go ahead and do your work. We are not in a hurry."
Brother B looked at him deeply, said nothing, turned around and left quickly.
Yu Yao and the others were silent. After he walked away, Yu Yao and Gu Qing declined the prince's invitation to dinner and left first.
After leaving, the two did not return to their residence. Instead, they shook off the people following them and rushed straight towards the pier.
Brother B went to the same place as them, so it was a matter of who was faster.
"Just tell me clearly, what does it mean that someone is dead?" Brother B was sitting on the motorcycle. He didn't want to speak at this moment, but he couldn't wait any longer, so he cursed out in a hurry.
However, his voice, affected by the north wind, sounded as thin as a mosquito's hum and did not sound powerful at all.
But even if Rao was like this, his subordinates would not dare to fool him.
The man slowed down and said, "We don't know either. Someone must be messing with us! We just don't know where those people disappeared from."
They had a batch of goods to be shipped to Myanmar today, and all the women were loaded into the ship along with the goods. But now the goods are gone, and the women are gone too, as if they had disappeared into thin air.
"Who is guarding the boat? Don't you have any brains?" Brother B was furious.
This batch of goods is the first batch of the year, and it is good stuff that was agreed to be sold at a high price. Originally, he wanted to play with the woman named Lin Shan, and then put her in this batch of goods. Now, all those women are gone. Where can he get so many people in a short time?
"Brother B, I watched this batch of goods board the ship the whole time. They definitely never left the ship, but I can't find them on the ship. I really don't know where they went. Could they be hidden in the sea?"
It's so cold, and yet these people have the courage to do this.
"Idiot!" If he wasn't still in the car, Brother B would have kicked him to the ground. Who said you can't hide in the sea in the middle of winter? Can freezing be more important than your life?
When the man heard himself being scolded, he quickly reacted, "Are you saying that the person is really hiding in the sea?" How is that possible?
"Is that so? Just go and take a look and you'll know."
However, at this time, Yu Yao and the other person had already reached the seaside at a very fast speed. Gu Qing jumped into the water, and in just a few minutes, he had put the girls into the space.
Without exception, these girls were wearing oxygen masks, but unfortunately the goggles of the oxygen masks were covered by someone. They only knew that they had been floating in the water for a long time and then lost consciousness.
When Brother B and his companions arrived, they saw many traces of adhesion on the bottom of the boat, but they had no idea what the sticky marks were.
But it was clear that the disappearance of the girls was related to these traces.
"Check! Go check it for me!" Brother B was almost angry to death.
On the other hand, Yu Yao and his companion quickly returned to their residence. It was not difficult for them to rescue these girls, but the difficult part was how to release them safely without being discovered by others.
They moved faster.
But within just half a day, the prince learned that Brother B had lost a large amount of goods.
"It's really lost. Where is it?"
The prince thought hard but couldn't figure out how Yu Yao and the other two had done it.
Their cooperation was very simple. Rose would go to find out some accurate information about Brother B from her former lover.
The people on the prince's side made plans according to the news. Simply put, they passed the message to the girls and then made some changes on Brother B's boat.
But they knew that those people would hide in the water, but they didn't know how they left the water. Also, Brother B's stuff was tied to them and taken away. This time Brother B suffered a big setback.
"It seems that the initial promise was too simple." He shouldn't have agreed to give all the goods to the two of them. The prince sighed. How could he have known that they had the ability to do this?
But he agreed to everything. He didn't dare to act rashly when he didn't know how many cards the other party had.
"How are things arranged?"
"Our people are ready and can act at any time."
The prince nodded with satisfaction, "Spring is coming soon, and it's time to replace Brother B, the title of the number one brother in Shaocheng. Let's do it."
"yes."
The next few days were simply Brother B's nightmare.
His business ran into trouble again and again, and all the middlemen he had contact with, whether foreign or domestic, ran into problems.
It was only then that he finally realized that he might be being targeted.
But now he realized it was too late, no one could give him a chance to turn the tables.
Many antagonistic relationships are a process of one side gaining while the other loses. When Brother B was in a state of panic, the prince was in high spirits.
It was because he was too proud that he did not realize that Yu Yao and the other person had already left Shaocheng.
Yu Yao and his companions drove the car in the space themselves, so when they left, they left no trace just like when they came, making it impossible to find them even if they wanted to.
The very next day after they left, the prince received a letter.
"Leave them alone."
