Chapter 57: Furious Rage!
“Forget it, I’m not playing today.” Chen Wuhong hesitated for a long time, but in the end still refused.
If it were in the casino, under that chaotic atmosphere filled with desire, maybe he wouldn’t care anymore.
But this was at home, with everything familiar around him reminding him that if he dared to gamble and the family found out, he would be in big trouble.
“Lan Du Hong, you’ve really turned over a new leaf?” That young man teased, wiping the paper Tianjiu from his hand onto the stool and casually drawing two cards.
“If Ah Hong doesn’t want to play, then forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities after he recovers! Playing at home really isn’t fun.” A Chao spoke up from the side, while putting away the paper Tianjiu.
“Ah Hong, after you recover, I’ll treat you to a good time.”
“We won’t disturb you today, as long as you’re okay.”
With that, he dragged the other young man away.
“What are you doing? Have you forgotten the money we owe?” The other young man said in a low voice with an unhappy face.
“As long as we play with Lan Du Hong for a while, we’ll get money. If Lan Du Hong wants to borrow money, we’ll get even more benefit.”
Both of them owed a ton of gambling debt, and a few days ago someone found them and asked them to help with something, giving them a sum of benefit, enough to pay off their gambling debts.
If they could make Lan Du Hong owe a gambling debt and borrow some money, besides what they could win which would all be theirs, they would also get an extra sum of money.
The two were being chased by their creditors everywhere they hid, and when they heard about this, they immediately agreed.
Who would have thought A Chao would suddenly back out.
“After all, we’re friends. Knowing someone is setting up Ah Hong… let’s not harm him.” A Chao had a belly full of thoughts.
“Ah Hong, Ah Hong, you used to call him Lan Du Hong… Did you take the wrong medicine today? And you’re not making money, now you won’t let me make money either? Don’t forget the money you owe. If you don’t pay it back, those guys will chop off your hand!” The other young man said discontentedly, his tone faintly carrying anger.
Even if there’s money to be made, you need to be alive to spend it.
Who could know that Lan Du Hong’s family had a boss.
He Tu’s people are deadlier than loan shark’s people.
What’s more, the other party is a favorite under Sha Jiu. If the two of them tricked his big brother, as long as he said a word, they wouldn’t be able to mix in the Walled City anymore.
Maybe one day they’d be hacked to death.
A Chao really wanted to tell about Lan Du Hong’s younger brother, but the words reached his mouth and he swallowed them back.
He felt this was an opportunity and couldn’t tell others.
He just said, “I suddenly had a change of heart. Got a problem?”
“Fuck!” The other young man got angrier the more he thought, kicking the wall beside him.
“What do we say when we go back?”
“Go back what? Hide for a while first!” A Chao said in a deep voice.
However, after the two turned a corner, they were blocked by someone.
Bang!
A Chao was kicked against the wall, and a man said coldly, “What were you sent to do? He doesn’t want to gamble, then find a way to make him gamble.”
“Boss, he doesn’t want to gamble. We can’t force his head down to gamble!” A Chao’s face was swollen in one spot, and his eye was bruised.
“We didn’t get the money, you’ve beaten us and vented your anger, just let us go like a fart!”
The man’s face flickered uncertainly. This was supposed to be a sure thing, but these two guys were so useless and failed completely, so he could only go back and report first.
The man was full of anger and kicked A Chao in the stomach again.
“Fuck! Keep your mouths shut! If I hear any rumors, I’ll skin you!”
“It’s all your fucking fault!” The young man with A Chao groaned lying on the ground.
“Got it now? They just want to screw over Ah Hong!” A Chao leaned against the wall, slumped in the alley.
He thought to himself: This saved both our lives! Taking a beating, at least we won’t die! If we really screwed over Lan Du Hong, I’m afraid we both would lose our lives!
A Chao touched the corner of his mouth, feeling a stinging pain.
He hesitated a bit in his heart, wondering if he should tell Lan Du Hong’s younger brother about this. The man’s threat hadn’t dissipated yet.
But he didn’t hesitate long. He gritted his teeth—fortune favors the bold, this opportunity couldn’t be missed.
As long as he could connect with the favorite under Sha Jiu, not to mention strutting around, there would definitely be benefits.
As for those guys just now, daring to trick the big brother of He Tu’s favorite, maybe tomorrow they’d be in a roadside stinking ditch.
……
Brother Jun jumped down from the wooden stake, his muscles covered in sweat.
He picked up the telephone and glanced at the caller:
“Ah Fei, what’s up?”
“Brother Jun, come to the gambling den. A gambler says someone is setting up your big brother!” Ah Fei’s voice came from the other end of the telephone.
“Oh? Keep an eye on him! I’ll be back soon.” Brother Jun hung up the telephone and stood there, frowning tightly.
Someone setting up the family’s gambler?
‘Li Dong’s person?’
‘I have a gambling battle with Li Dong, so Li Dong’s person has the most motive to do this.’
‘Or… Ji Xiang?’
‘No, even if Ji Xiang doesn’t like me, he wouldn’t cause trouble at this time, let alone target my family. If Senior Sister finds out, he’s dead.’
Brother Jun thought about who he had offended.
‘Those loan sharks?’
Brother Jun thought carefully about the loan shark robbing incident. He shouldn’t have left any loose ends.
He felt the most likely was Li Dong’s people stirring things up.
Moments later, Brother Jun put on his clothes and left the warehouse.
The gambling den’s business was good. Brother Jun heard various shouting voices blending together from outside.
“Brother Jun!” The henchman at the door greeted him immediately, then lifted the curtain to the side. Inside, smoke filled the air, with crowds squeezed around every table.
“People who don’t know would think it’s on fire here!” Brother Jun waved to disperse the smoke in front of him.
“Where’s the person?”
“In the back!”
At this time, A Chao was waiting in the back room. Moments later, the door was pushed open, and a short-haired young man walked in.
His build was broad and sturdy, his muscles propping up the shirt high. His face was calm, but his eyes always carried a hint of ferocity.
“Brother Jun!” A Chao greeted him hurriedly.
Brother Jun walked to a chair on the side and sat down, crossing his legs, before asking, “Who are you?”
“Brother Jun, my name is Jia Bingchao. Everyone calls me A Chao. You can just call me A Chao!” A Chao nodded and bowed.
“Tell me what happened.”
“Brother Jun, Ah Hong… Lan Du Hong, is he your big brother?” A Chao asked cautiously at first.
Brother Jun neither confirmed nor denied, “Continue.”
“Someone told me to set him up, go to his home to gamble with him. As long as he agrees to gamble, I’d get 5000 bucks. Then find a way to make him borrow some money… All the winnings are mine, plus an extra sum of money…”
Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Brother Jun’s eyes, and his ferocious aura surged out.
After A Chao finished, he asked ferociously, “Do you know who they are?”
“I don’t know… I’ve never seen them!” A Chao said immediately. “But the person who brought them to me, I’ve seen him before. He’s a loan shark’s person! The loan sharks in the alley next to Ji Fa Casino! He chased Ah Hong for debt before, I saw him once.”
“That person brought them to me and then left. He definitely knows their identity!”
Brother Jun’s expression didn’t change upon hearing this, but his mind raced:
‘Ji Fa Casino… Isn’t that the loan shark I robbed?’
‘Their identity doesn’t matter anymore! The person behind that loan shark is called Bing Ye. They must be Bing Ye’s people too!’
‘But why did they find me? I clearly didn’t leave any evidence that day… If they had evidence, they wouldn’t trouble me in secret like this, and with such methods… So they definitely have no evidence!’
Brother Jun thought for a moment, then grew increasingly angry, a surge of evil fire rising in his heart.
He stood up and paced a few steps in the room, getting angrier the more he thought.
They have no evidence, so why target me?
They’re framing me!
They want to harm me, so they deserve to die!
