Chapter 58: Passing Down The Lineage
Chen Wujun suppressed the evil fire in his heart, turned his head to Ah Fei and said: “Ask those people what they look like, and have someone watch near the alley by Ji Fa Casino. There’s a loan shark in the alley, and it’s related to them.”
Ah Fei took A Chao out to question him, while Chen Wujun sat in the room thinking.
This matter must be resolved.
That Bing Ye had already sent people to cause trouble for him, and if this time didn’t work, who knows what he might do next time.
He absolutely could not be left alive.
Moments later, Ah Fei returned and said: “Brother Jun, I’ve arranged for people to go.”
“They actually dared to target Brother Jun, and at a time like this… Maybe they have a relationship with Li Dong. Should we notify Sister Sha Jiu?”
“Do you know Bing Ye?” Chen Wujun asked.
“I’ve heard of him. He’s outside the Walled City, does a big loan shark business.”
“What’s Bing Ye’s strength like?”
“I’m not clear on that, but he’s definitely not as strong as Sister Sha Jiu! Sister Sha Jiu could kill him with one strike!” Ah Fei immediately said.
Chen Wujun only believed half of Ah Fei’s words. Clearly, his gaze was only within the Walled City, and he didn’t understand the influences outside it.
He still had to go ask Sister Sha Jiu.
“That A Chao just now…” Chen Wujun suddenly felt that these gambler thugs were also very useful. At least they had access to news, and they might come in handy sometime.
Since he had done something for him, he had to give him a benefit.
“Withdraw ten thousand bucks from the accounts for me.”
“Brother Jun, isn’t that a bit too much?” Ah Fei felt that those rotten gamblers didn’t need to be given so much.
Giving them two or three thousand would send them off.
“I’ve read a story before called ‘A Thousand Gold for a Horse Bone!'” Chen Wujun leaned back in the chair and said.
“We have to give a lot, and in a few days, leak the news that he got ten thousand bucks from me. That way, others with news will notify me!”
Moments later, Ah Fei brought over ten thousand bucks.
He called A Chao back in again.
“A Chao, right! You did a good job on this, I’m very satisfied. This is your reward!” Chen Wujun threw a stack of money onto the table beside him.
“Come to the venue to play more when you have nothing to do. If you get into trouble in the future, I can protect you once!”
“Thanks, Brother Jun.” A Chao was overjoyed, full of gratitude.
That stack of money was ten thousand, and getting this much was already enough to make him happy.
This money was earned with his life and could be spent with his life.
And Chen Wujun’s later promise was equivalent to saving his life.
Moreover, having a relationship with Chen Wujun and coming to the casino to play when he had nothing to do would give him some face.
“I’ll arrange a place for you. Stay there for a few days, I might still need you. Be good and stay put these days, don’t go wandering around.”
“I know, I definitely won’t come out.” A Chao quickly said. He was also afraid of those people coming to cause him trouble.
He definitely had to find a place to hide until the matter was over before coming out.
He had Ah Fei send A Chao away to arrange a place to stay. Chen Wujun took out the telephone to call Sister Sha Jiu, then went out to the rooftop upstairs at Jin Di Finance. Sister Sha Jiu had set up a table there with some preserved meat and cooked food.
Chen Wujun found a water bucket for collecting rainwater, turned it over to use as a stool, and sat down.
“Senior Sister likes the outside so much… You don’t lack money, why not buy a villa outside!”
He noticed that Sister Sha Jiu really liked looking outside. He himself wanted to buy a luxury house in the city center, and he thought Sister Sha Jiu did too.
“The outside isn’t our territory after all.” Sister Sha Jiu tossed Chen Wujun a beer.
Chen Wujun took a cigarette from Sister Sha Jiu’s cigarette case, lit it, and then asked: “Senior Sister, what kind of person is Bing Ye?”
“He specializes in lending! Monthly turnover of seven or eight million, not a small business, wide network of contacts, over a hundred people under him specializing in lending and collecting debts.”
“What’s his strength like?” Chen Wujun asked again.
“He doesn’t fight much himself. I estimate his strength is about the same as Wen Long. He has a master under him who practices new technique, probably around the same strength too.” Sister Sha Jiu glanced at Chen Wujun.
“What, did you offend him?”
Then Sister Sha Jiu suddenly thought of something: “Before, several of his people in the Walled City were taken out, and the money was robbed. You did it?”
Bing Ye’s people being killed and robbed had caused a big stir, and she had heard about it.
Now seeing Chen Wujun inquiring about Bing Ye, she immediately connected the dots.
She also knew that they were all extremely bold, and Zhou Qing wouldn’t teach anyone without enough courage.
This was indeed something Chen Wujun could do.
“It wasn’t me, but that Bing Ye sent people to set up my family! Now I’m preparing for the gambling battle, and him setting up my family is troubling you, Senior Sister, and troubling He Tu!” Chen Wujun said without changing expression.
They had no evidence for this, so why admit it was him.
Of course he wouldn’t admit it.
“Oh?” Sister Sha Jiu became interested upon hearing this.
“Tell me what happened!”
Chen Wujun recounted the whole matter.
Then continued: “Is he in cahoots with Li Dong?”
After hearing it, Sister Sha Jiu didn’t speak right away, but sat there pondering.
Moments later, Sister Sha Jiu grinned, revealing a mouth of sharp teeth, her smile carrying an evil and bloody air.
“He must be in cahoots with Li Dong and that gang!”
Sister Sha Jiu felt that Chen Wujun was really a lucky star.
She just happened to have no chance to stir up trouble, and now the leverage was delivered right to her.
Bing Ye was a big fat sheep, with substantial wealth.
Unfortunately, behind Bing Ye there was a big backer called Uncle Wu, a famous wealthy businessman.
This guy’s influence was too great; he couldn’t be touched.
If he was touched, it would incur public outrage and anger a bunch of wealthy businessmen, many of whom had relationships with various gangs, or were even big backers of some gangs.
This matter could only go as far as Bing Ye.
Otherwise, Sister Sha Jiu really wanted to follow Bing Ye’s line and kidnap Uncle Wu too.
At this moment, Chen Wujun also felt regretful in his heart. Bing Ye was a big fat sheep, and his assets must be very substantial.
Unfortunately, his own strength wasn’t enough, so he could only resolve this trouble through Senior Sister.
Otherwise, he would have swallowed him alive.
He had even left an IOU for the loan shark, thinking business should be long-term and steady, but this business probably couldn’t continue.
The two sat on the rooftop, sighing with regret almost at the same time.
Then they looked at each other.
“Senior Sister, how should we handle this?”
“First grab his people, then confront him on the spot. We need to be justified in our actions, so others can’t say anything. If his explanation doesn’t satisfy me, I’ll kill him!” A fierce glint flashed in Sister Sha Jiu’s eyes.
“I’ll go arrange it right now!” Chen Wujun stood up and said.
“Jun Zai…” Sister Sha Jiu called out to Chen Wujun from behind, drawling:
“This kind of thing doesn’t make much money and gets you criticized! Don’t do it again next time.”
Chen Wujun didn’t reply. Anyway, he wasn’t admitting it.
As he walked back, he pondered: “Learn from mistakes to gain wisdom. This kind of small-time stuff really isn’t worth doing anymore. It’s just earning some hard-earned money and brings trouble to your door. If doing it in the future, do something big!”
“And Senior Sister is right, actions need to be justified, so they’re legitimate and others can’t interfere!”
“If it can’t be justified, then find a way to make it justified!”
“Also… If there’s an opportunity, I must figure out how they found me, so I can learn the lesson.”
After going downstairs, Chen Wujun called Ah Fei on the telephone, telling him to send people to watch them, figure out their movements, and then notify him.
After giving instructions, Chen Wujun went home for dinner.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shufen sitting on a stool. She looked a bit better than before, but still somewhat reserved.
“Shufen’s here too!”
“Your mom saw her alone at the martial arts school feeling lonely… so she called her over for dinner! More people make it lively, just one more set of bowl and chopsticks.” Chen Hanliang said.
During dinner, Chen Hanliang said: “Today a guy came to get teeth checked. Seems like a martial artist, got into a fight, lost half a mouthful of teeth. Couldn’t even fill them, had to get dentures.”
“You remember, practice martial arts is practice martial arts, but never get into fights with people.”
“I don’t fight!” Chen Wujun said calmly.
……
Two days later, Ah Fei called.
“Brother Jun, found those people!”
“Keep eyes on them, I’m heading back right now!” Upon hearing this news, Chen Wujun immediately put on clothes and left the warehouse.
Moments later, he found Ah Fei on Long Jin Street, with seven or eight people standing not far away.
“Brother Jun, these past two days they’ve been like they’re looking for someone. Right now they’re in the gambling den in the alley!”
“Whose gambling den?”
“Private… that kind of small joint where you can play all night for a hundred or two hundred bucks.” Ah Fei said.
“Let’s go, come with me to grab them.” Chen Wujun turned and headed into the alley.
