Chapter 146 She Looks Down
"please."
Monkey came out to greet Tong Yusui and took her to the underground casino.
This seemed to be her first time to go to an underground casino openly. There were a lot of people inside, the lights were bright, and it was a place of extravagance and decadence. It was obviously much bigger than her father's chess shop and small gambling house. There seemed to be a lot of people inside, but it was inexplicably less noisy.
The monkey led her through the gambling house. Tong Yusui looked around leisurely and suddenly saw someone who looked familiar, but before she could look closely, the person disappeared. Tong Yusui felt puzzled and even more strange. She looked around again and saw the dealers standing in front of the card tables in seductive cheongsams, embellishing the luxury of the casino. But she no longer saw the person who made her feel familiar. Could it be that she had seen it wrong?
"What's wrong?" The monkey asked when he saw her stop.
Tong Yusui then retracted his gaze and shook his head, "Nothing, let's go!"
They continued walking forward, and the noise in front became quieter, until she walked into Mu Xingzhou's office, and the noise was isolated outside the room.
"I'm here." Mu Xingzhou was wearing a black shirt and suit pants. His cuffs were slightly braided, revealing the smooth lines of his forearms and the silver watch on his wrist. He smiled and pointed to the chair in front of him. "Sit down."
Tong Yusui was also dressed in black today. The two of them looked like brother and sister, both looking so cold-hearted. This was not the first time that Mu Xingzhou noticed her change. When they first came back, Tong Yusui didn't know how to restrain her aura, which already made Mu Xingzhou feel threatened. Now that he saw that she could restrain her aura with ease, he was even more surprised and wondered what she had learned in Jiangcheng.
He was not without jealousy in his heart, but now was not the time to talk about it.
"Now that Liu Yang has lost the dock, it's our turn anyway. Why don't you go and fight for it, little sister?"
She has been too quiet during this period, so quiet that it's a little suspicious.
He spoke lightly, but his eyes were full of deep thought and suspicion. Tong Yusui smiled slightly, "I still need to go to school. I can't control it even if I ask for it, and..."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a few seconds. This subtle pause attracted more attention, and Mu Xingzhou subconsciously sat up straighter.
But Tong Yusui stopped talking.
Mu Xingzhou was completely confused and clueless for a long time before he smiled. "Why, little sister, you're hiding this from me?"
Tong Yusui seemed a little proud and chuckled mysteriously, "Wanjiang is not our base camp after all. There is still too little business here."
Now, Mu Xingzhou completely understood that he just looked down on it.
Yes, apart from Tianhao and the wharf, Wanjiang only has these two profitable areas. To put it bluntly, the others are just small-scale operations. With the pressure from Luxidan, they cannot develop at all.
Mu Xingzhou's face turned ugly for a moment, he clenched his fists, and then smiled again, "I am a person with great luck, but I have to help my brother!"
His smile became even more kind. Tong Yusui paused for a few seconds and nodded, "I will definitely help you if I can."
When Mu Xingzhou heard the perfunctory look in her words, it was like a solid nail on her face, and it disappeared in just a second. He smiled again, "Come to think of it, sister has been under Ji Ze for so long, she should be quite familiar with him!"
At the beginning, when Hai Ye transferred him away, Mu Xingzhou thought about developing this spy well, but unfortunately, Liu Yang didn't trust him, and he didn't find out anything in a few years. Mu Xingzhou felt that he was perfunctory, and he didn't win Mu Xingzhou's heart, so Mu Xingzhou abandoned him later.
But he didn't expect that he would suddenly turn the tables and become the boss, and he was even less respectful to Mu Xingzhou than before. Mu Xingzhou couldn't just ask him to give up the dock. The popular people around Hai Ye hadn't left yet, so he couldn't do that even if he was stupid.
So Mu Xingzhou regretted it for a while, thinking that the mantis stalked the cicada while the oriole was behind, and in the end Ji Ze got the big advantage.
Tong Yusui was stunned and replied, "I seldom went to school before, and my relationship with him was average. It was only after I became Mr. Hai's daughter that our relationship improved a little. But he rarely talked to me, and I..." Tong Yusui frowned and wrinkled her nose, looking a little disgusted. "I think he's a bit bloody, so I don't get close to him."
Mu Xingzhou understood immediately after hearing it.
Originally, I wanted Tong Yusui to leave on her own and left her to Ji Ze on purpose because Ji Ze did all kinds of bloody work and he looked like a gloomy person. I didn't expect that she was not scared away, but a bad impression was left on him.
Mu Xingzhou didn't know what to say on this point. Although he still had some doubts, there were no loopholes in what he said.
Mu Xingzhou knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, otherwise it would affect the relationship between the siblings, so he took her outside and said, "Come on, sister, I'll take you outside to play a few games."
Tong Yusui's eyes darkened. He really wanted to take her to do anything wrong, but she did not refuse. She followed him out and carefully memorized the layout of the place.
I always feel that this will not be her last visit to this casino, especially since the same scene as last time will happen again.
Tong Yusui didn't play for long because she lost every time. Even if Mu Xingzhou asked everyone to feed her cards, she would still lose. Looking at Tong Yusui's ignorant face, Mu Xingzhou was full of doubts. He really didn't know whether she really didn't know how to play or was just pretending.
After they left, Mu Xingzhou threw himself into a chair and leaned back comfortably, his long legs resting on the table. "Tong Yusui really makes me uneasy."
Especially Mu Xingzhou still remembered the scene when she had shown off to him before. Just because she had won a little favor, she was so arrogant. Did she think that Master Hai could be her eternal umbrella of protection? Oh, no matter how partial Master Hai was, it still couldn't cover up his own ruthlessness.
Mu Xingzhou’s work was not in vain this time, but it was far from what he wanted, so he was not satisfied.
After a short rest, he asked the monkey again, "Are all the equipment ready?"
"Yes, Master, you must go and have a look."
"Okay." Mu Xingzhou nodded, stood up, walked to the antique display cabinet in the office, then pressed a button and a hidden elevator appeared. The two of them got on and the elevator went down quickly.
The room that was a dark room before was converted into a series of small white rooms. The neatly arranged small rooms looked inexplicably scary. At this time, there were only simple beds and things in the rooms, and no one was there.
Mu Xingzhou looked around and nodded with satisfaction. Then the two continued forward and came to the largest room. Mu Xingzhou pushed open the door and saw a standard operating room with complete tools.
"Snap." The incandescent light turned on, and the person's eyes became blurry and his heart felt cold.
Mu Xingzhou was very satisfied and turned off all the lights again.
"By the way, who is in charge of the loan shark?"
"Li Hongran."
Hearing the name that he hated again, Mu Xingzhou subconsciously frowned, "It's her again."
This woman is Mu Xingzhou's number one enemy because she has made great contributions to Hai Ye and was the person who was in charge of Wanjiang before Mu Xingzhou. So in order to secure his position, he cannot let her get better. Therefore, Mu Xingzhou has been competing with her since he came to power.
