Chapter 40: Gambling Battle
Chen Wujun changed his clothes back in the alley, picked up the bag and didn’t walk far back when his mobile phone rang.
“Hello, Sister Sha Jiu?”
“Jun Zai, wait for me downstairs at Jin Di Finance at 8:30 tomorrow morning, we’ll go see Xin Ye.”
“Sister Sha Jiu, what was the result of Xin Ye’s talk with Li Dong?” Chen Wujun asked.
“I don’t know, we’ll see what he says tomorrow.” Sha Jiu said.
“I’ll be there at 8:30 tomorrow morning!” After hanging up the phone, Chen Wujun picked up the bag and went straight home, threw the bag into the cabinet, and then went to the gambling den.
These days the gambling den hadn’t opened, the henchmen were just waiting inside, playing cards or Pai Gow.
A few henchmen playing Pai Gow turned their heads to look, stood up and said: “Brother Jun!”
“Keep playing!”
Chen Wujun stayed until 10:30 at night before going home, after closing the door he took out the bag and dumped everything inside onto the bed.
Then he began to count.
“Cash 71200, more than I expected. These watches and jewelry, I don’t know how much they’re worth, I need to find a place outside the Walled City to sell them, but no rush, I can sell them later.”
“Sure enough, without ill-gotten wealth one can’t get rich, as long as you have the courage, you can make money!”
“The crystal money for more than two months is secured, I’ve got a lot more cash on hand. In two months, my strength can improve a lot.”
“And there’s also the territory grabbed this time…”
Although Sha Jiu hadn’t rewarded based on merits yet, Chen Wujun believed he would definitely gain something, and then he would have a long-term source of income.
Even if there was a shortage in the short term, it probably wouldn’t be too big.
Chen Wujun was in a great mood, he could see the footprints of his step-by-step progress over these months, and he could also see a glimpse of the future.
Everything was heading in the direction he hoped.
He put the money away again and stuffed it into the cabinet, Chen Wujun changed clothes and went to the rooftop to practice kung fu.
Every day, martial arts practice was unwavering.
This was his foundation.
……
The next morning, he dressed neatly, first went to the martial arts school, and greeted Senior Brother Li.
Then he met up with Sha Jiu, left the Walled City, and a black sedan was waiting for the two.
After Chen Wujun got in the car, his body involuntarily twisted a bit.
This car was more comfortable than any he’d ridden before, and the interior space was huge.
Sha Jiu opened the refrigerator in front, took out two bottles of water and threw one to Chen Wujun.
“This car has a refrigerator?” Chen Wujun looked amazed.
“Luxury car! Do you know how much this car costs?” Sha Jiu laughed.
“One million five hundred thousand!”
“One million five hundred thousand?” Chen Wujun looked like a total country bumpkin upon hearing this.
He didn’t expect this car to be so expensive.
“It’s smuggled goods, normally one million five hundred thousand, this one cost me eight hundred thousand!” Sha Jiu smiled and explained: “If you want to buy a car in the future, tell me, I’ll tell you the place.”
“Sure!” Chen Wujun had been happy about grabbing seventy thousand, but now suddenly felt it was just a small sum.
“Sister Sha Jiu, doesn’t Xin Ye live in the Walled City?” Chen Wujun watched the car getting farther from the Walled City and asked curiously.
“I don’t even want to stay in that Walled City place! Xin Ye is old, how could he be there? He’s fallen from Magnetic Field Level now, but he’s not someone any tomcat or dog can touch, he usually lives in the villa on Jiu Du Mountain.” Sha Jiu explained.
Jiu Du Mountain is located in Li Yuan, a new town, and it took nearly an hour by car to arrive.
This was a quiet mountain forest, with villas peeking out from between the hills and woods.
“The air here is really good!” Chen Wujun sniffed.
The air in the Walled City was the worst, constantly filled with stench, and other parts of the city also reeked of exhaust.
This place was completely different, he felt even the air here carried a sweet fragrance.
“With five million you can buy one here, but it’s too far, only those old guys like living here.” Sha Jiu laughed.
Chen Wujun was stunned inside.
For these rich people, a few million was no big deal.
Then what surged in Chen Wujun’s heart was endless desire and ambition.
He had to work hard to improve his strength and make money!
Moments later, the car arrived at the iron gate of a villa, the iron gate slowly opened, and after the vehicle entered, it parked to the side.
Chen Wujun got out and followed behind Sha Jiu, looking left and right, everything seemed great.
This villa was surrounded by woods on both sides, birds chirping nonstop in the woods, and there was a garden inside the villa…
While in the Walled City, you couldn’t even see birds.
He was just a country bumpkin.
Following Sha Jiu to the backyard, he saw a swimming pool sparkling under the sunlight, a woman in a bikini with a hot figure swimming inside.
Chen Wujun glanced twice, then sat with Sha Jiu at the round table in the yard.
“Xin Ye’s granddaughter?”
“One he keeps!” Sha Jiu glanced and said.
“When you have money, at 90 you can keep a 19-year-old, as long as your body can handle it!”
Chen Wujun felt he could definitely handle it.
But he wasn’t that interested in women right now, even with A Yue, he only went occasionally.
He was only interested in strength and money.
Moments later, Xin Ye came out of the villa in a Tang suit and sat across from the two.
“Xin Ye!” Chen Wujun stood up.
“Sha Jiu’s new henchman, called Jun Zai, right? Looks pretty good!” Xin Ye smiled.
“What do you drink? Red wine?”
“Drinking in the morning? Mineral water, give him a soda!” Sha Jiu said to the servant who came over.
“You’ve really gained face lately, beating Wen Long so he doesn’t dare show up.” Xin Ye smiled at Sha Jiu.
“Last night I met Ma Dong for tea and chatted for a bit.”
“His point is, no matter what, this broke the order, especially since you grabbed most of Wen Long’s territory.”
“He proposed two plans!”
The servant just brought mineral water and soda, also two cups, and poured for the two.
Xin Ye waited for the servant to leave before continuing:
“First, full-scale war, all Five Dragons will fight you!”
“Is Li Dong that tough? Then let’s fight!” Sha Jiu sneered.
“Don’t be so impulsive, if it’s really full-scale war, He Tu will support you. But the losses will be huge, no telling about others, but your hall will definitely be wiped out!” Xin Ye gestured with his hand to calm down.
“You’ve had quite a few casualties lately, right? How much longer can you fight?”
Sha Jiu pursed her lips.
These days of fighting, her subordinates had indeed suffered losses, over 30 casualties, and a big sum spent on compensation.
But she didn’t care.
Grabbing Wen Long’s territory, her prestige and momentum would rise sharply, and with territory, she could always earn it back later.
“Second plan, Jun Zai is the cause of this, he fights one of Wen Long’s people! If Jun Zai loses, you give back half the territory. If Jun Zai wins, the territory is yours, and Li Dong gives you another half street!” Xin Ye explained Li Dong’s second plan.
“Has Li Dong and his people all overdosed on drugs? Stuff that’s in my mouth, you want me to spit it out?” Sha Jiu slapped the table, mocking:
“Jun Zai is my junior brother, and he’s only been punching practice for half a year! If they find someone who’s been punching practice for half a year to fight him, I’ll agree!”
“No wonder you’re protecting him so much.” Xin Ye nodded.
“He’s my man, if I don’t protect him, who do I protect?” Sha Jiu said leisurely.
“I don’t agree to this.”
“Sha Jiu, one person fighting is better than full-scale war! Otherwise if Li Dong spreads the word, what will your other subordinates think?” Xin Ye said methodically.
“It’s impossible for Li Dong to find someone who’s been punching practice for half a year to fight him, but they can set conditions, and we can set conditions too!”
“Can only select from Wen Long’s subordinates to fight, no outside help, and time can be delayed, like three months later.”
“Jun Zai is good, punching practice for half a year, and kung fu is already embodied, solid foundation. Another three months, I think it’s not impossible!” Xin Ye’s gaze fell on Chen Wujun again.
“Jun Zai, do you have confidence?”
Sha Jiu’s face darkened.
Chen Wujun’s mind raced, he felt Xin Ye had put him on the spot.
But he had to speak up, otherwise if Li Dong spread the word, others would think because of him they didn’t dare fight Wen Long’s people, so everyone had to keep killing, and maybe die on the street someday.
This would definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction with him.
Even many would be dissatisfied with Sha Jiu.
Wen Long wouldn’t bring in outside help, his strongest subordinates were all in Resonance Stage, strength similar to A Hao and the others.
In three months… he might be able to fight.
If he lost, no need to say, he might not even survive, but if he won… his prestige and gains would soar.
These days although they grabbed Wen Long’s territory, A Hao, Cun Bao and others all contributed.
Even if he got territory in the end, it wouldn’t be much, and not all four gambling dens would go to him.
But this bet of half a street was different.
At this moment, Chen Wujun’s heart had no worry or fear, only ambition and weighing pros and cons.
Especially after just seeing the luxury car and luxury house, while he only got tens of thousands from one grab.
Chen Wujun thought it over, analyzed the pros and cons, then spoke:
“I have no problem, I listen to senior sister.”
After speaking, Chen Wujun shifted his gaze to the woman resting by the swimming pool, his heart full of killing intent.
He knew he had to agree, but this was Xin Ye putting him in this position.
To Xin Ye, he was just an ordinary chip.
With insufficient strength and status now, there was nothing to say.
If there’s a chance in the future…
Xin Ye smiled, his gaze shifting back to Sha Jiu.
“Sha Jiu, my words remain, one person fighting is better than full-scale war!”
Sha Jiu said with a sullen face:
“Jun Zai, have you thought it through?”
“I have confidence!” Chen Wujun said.
“If Jun Zai says no problem, then I can agree. But time to four months! Next year’s Empress’s Birthday, set it for that day!” Sha Jiu said.
“If Li Dong doesn’t agree, no need to talk! Just fight directly, see how many of those five worms are left!”
“Then I’ll meet Ma Dong for tea again. If they don’t agree, He Tu will fully support you!” Xin Ye decided on the spot.
……
After the two left the villa, Sha Jiu’s eyes were full of ferocity, she snorted coldly in rage:
“That old guy is really muddle-headed in his old age!”
