"What's wrong?" Seeing the panic on her face, Yang Huai was very nervous. He walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, and got in the car without her consent. "Where are you going? I'll go with you."
"No, you can get out. It's none of your business." She pushed Yang Huai out.
"We're friends. Do we need to separate ourselves?" Yang Huai asked, pretending to be angry.
"No, it's none of your business." Wu Pojun poked her head out of the car window. "Hurry up and go to sleep. Don't wake my parents up."
"What's going on?" The more she said, the more anxious Yang Huai became. "Tell me. Maybe I can help."
"Ah, my brother was instigated by someone," Wu Pojun said. "He went to Macau and lost badly. Now he's been detained by the coders. They said that if they don't send money over, they'll throw him into the high seas to feed the sharks."
"Detained by the coders? How much money? " Yang Huai did not gamble, but he was no stranger to casinos. The speakers he knew were all coders. To put it bluntly, they were intermediaries who introduced business to the casinos and then took a cut from the casinos.
Sometimes these coders would give high-interest loans to customers they knew well, or they would give chips first and then collect money.
It was fine if the gamblers won, but if they lost, they would be chased by the coders until they had nowhere to hide. They would wage a war of public opinion against celebrities, shouting to the whole world that if they didn't return the money, they would ruin their reputation. They wouldn't be afraid that they wouldn't return the money. To ordinary people, this was the same method of coercion and bribery.
"More than three million! This is my family's business. It has nothing to do with you. "Wu Pojun did not want to implicate him.
"You have money?" Yang Huai asked.
"But I can't just ignore it." Her head was on the steering wheel, and her forehead was sweating. She murmured, "I can't just watch something happen to him."
"Then hurry up and drive. Let's go now." Yang Huai naturally could not let her go alone.
"What can you do if you go? Don't go. "Wu Pojun was very insistent.
"What can you do if you go alone?" Yang Huai asked.
"But I'm his sister. This is my responsibility. It's better to be alone than both of us." Wu Pojun turned her head.
"How do you know I'm useless?"
"Do you think you know the Gambling King?"
"I've been talking and laughing with the Gambling King." Yang Huai smiled through his nose. Naturally, he wouldn't lie. He had long since gotten to know all the reputable people on both sides of the Straits from his uncle and father. They might not like his father, but no one dared to not give face to his uncle. "Alright, let's hurry up and leave. In movies and dramas, danger lurks everywhere at critical moments, and it's all because of women's nagging."
Seeing his stubbornness, Wu Pojun didn't say anything more. He started the car and sped away.
They found a parking place not far from the ferry terminal. The two of them got out of the car and ran to the terminal. They bought tickets and boarded the ferry.
Before the ferry even docked, Wu Pojun made a phone call in a panic. It was obvious that she was contacting the people who had detained her brother.
Once he was ashore, he flagged down a taxi and headed towards the location indicated by the other party.
Yang Huai listened carefully to the location and thought about how he could help. Those guys definitely didn't know him and wouldn't believe his words easily. Judging from his words, it was completely unnecessary to contact the director or manager of a gambling company for such a small matter. If his uncle heard about it, he would definitely blame him.
After thinking about it carefully, he searched for a number in his phone's address book and sent a message.
The taxi stopped in front of a teahouse. Wu Pojun got out of the car first and stood under the teahouse. She looked at the flashing billboard and turned to Yang Huai. "If there's an emergency and I can't protect you, you run first. Don't worry about me. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry. If there's danger, I won't dawdle. I'll be the first to run." Yang Huai found it funny. Although he hadn't practiced martial arts since he was young like Li Lan, he had at least practiced Sanda. He wouldn't be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight. There was no need for a woman to protect him. His phone rang. He didn't answer it. Instead, he replied with another message. Then, he received another message. He smiled and finally calmed down.
"Hey, what's up?" A tall and thin young man stood at the stairs with his arms crossed.
"I just answered the phone. I'm here to ransom someone." Wu Pojun stood on the stairs and looked at the second floor. "Where's my brother?"
"Ransom? Where's the money? "The tall and thin man was naturally dissatisfied when he saw that both of them were empty-handed.
"That's a lot of money. Where can we go to get it at night? Just give us some time to prepare. "Wu Pojun said calmly." You're illegally detaining me. I'm going to call the police. "
However, he knew that calling the police was useless. He could hide now, but he couldn't hide forever. He might as well be straightforward and solve it once and for all.
"Then come back when you've raised the money." The tall and thin man waved his hand to chase him away.
"We came all the way from Hong Kong. At least we'll be reassured when we see someone, right?" Yang Huai took a step forward. Naturally, he didn't want to leave so easily.
"Kid, are you trying to pick a fight?" The tall and thin man raised his head and asked.
"What's with all the noise?" An enchanting woman walked out of a room. She raised her head and glanced at Yang Huai and Wu Pojun. "Let the two of them in."
"Follow me. Don't be nervous." Wu Pojun comforted Yang Huai in a low voice. Then, she followed the woman into a room.
The room was very big. There were five or six people in it. Those who crossed their arms deliberately shrugged their shoulders to show their tattoos. Those who picked their noses didn't forget to look at the two people who came in. There was a tatami in the middle of the room. An old man was hugging a teapot and sitting on the innermost wall. His eyes were slightly closed as if he was asleep.
"Master An, they're here." The woman sat beside the old man. She whispered in his ear while massaging his legs.
"They came empty-handed?" The old man called Master An opened his eyes abruptly and stared at the two people.
"Master An, right?" Wu Pojun looked at him fearlessly. When she was a police officer, she looked down on these people the most. However, at this moment, she couldn't help but say patiently, "Don't worry. It's only right that we pay what we owe. We won't renege on this debt.
However, three million is really too much. We can't take out that much in a short time. Can you give us a break? We'll pay you back in installments. In the end, we won't be short of a single cent. "
Even if she was still a police officer, she couldn't avoid it. Debt of gratitude and gambling were the hardest to renege on.
"What a beautiful girl." The woman chuckled and said to the old man, "But she's a little too fierce. I heard that she used to be a policewoman. Many men like her. She's a rare commodity."
Wu Pojun gritted her teeth. Although she hated him so much, she didn't argue with him. Instead, she waited quietly for the old man to speak.
"One look and you can tell that she's a celebrity," Yang Huai said to Wu Pojun with a smile. "Look, she's so familiar with the market. We have many neighbors. We should introduce more business to this auntie in the future."
He couldn't take it anymore.
"You have a sharp tongue." The woman looked angry.
"It doesn't matter whether the money is money or not," Old An said calmly. "Money is earned by people. As long as you work hard, the money will fly to you. God, the blind won't starve to death."
"Master An, don't worry. We won't give you a penny less." Wu Pojun didn't believe his nonsense. She waited for him to continue.
"Today, I'll show you a bright path. Not only do you not have to return the money to me, but you also have to thank me." Old An smiled and took a sip of tea. With the help of the woman, he slowly straightened his body and walked down the stairs. He walked around Wu Pojun and said, "I promise you that you'll wear gold and silver for two years. You won't have to worry about your next life."
"You'd better save this kind of good thing for your family." Yang Huai used his hand to stop Old An from approaching Wu Pojun. "Some people can smell the stench from afar."
"Kid, you must be tired of living!" The tattooed man raised his fist and threw it at Yang Huai.
Yang Huai twisted his body, grabbed the man's arm, and tripped him. The man staggered on the ground and raised his head to face Yang Huai's fist. He didn't dare to blink, afraid that the fist would hit him.
"Oh, you've practiced." Old An's facial muscles tightened, but he still tried to maintain a trace of demeanor. "But don't you see where you are? This is not a place for you to behave atrociously!"
"Are you okay?" Wu Pojun asked when she saw Yang Huai let go. She was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect Yang Huai to have such skills.
"I'm fine. Don't worry." Yang Huai patted her hand that was grabbing his arm and said to Old An, "I'll also show you a bright path. Let him go now, and I'll give you the money later. Leave a way out for everything, and we'll meet again in the future. Otherwise, I promise you won't have a place in Macau and Hong Kong … "
Before he finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Kid, you're talking big." The woman looked at Yang Huai playfully. "Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Then do you know who you're talking to?"
The tall and skinny man who was guarding the stairs fell into the house from outside. Just when everyone was curious about what happened, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a flowery shirt stood at the door, and a group of people appeared behind him.
"Mr. Yang, are you okay?" The middle-aged man took off his sunglasses and threw them to the people behind him. He quickly walked to Yang Huai.
Yang Huai smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Wu. It's so late, and I've troubled you."
The person in front of him was Master Wu, the driver who had taken them to and from school since they were young. It could be said that he had watched him grow up, so he didn't treat him as a stranger.
"Mr. Yang, it's good that you're okay." Master Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been the driver of the Li family. After Yang Huai, Li Pei, and the others slowly went to college, the old man and the old lady of the Li family also returned to their hometown.
His job all day was to stay at the empty house and stare blankly. He was gradually approaching the age of retirement, and was waiting to retire in a few years. However, the Li family's benevolence suddenly gave him a surprise, giving him the opportunity to choose, giving him room for promotion.
Xiao Quan's secretary gave him two choices, one was to come to Macau to do gambling, and the other was to go to the mainland to manage property. Perhaps because he had watched too many Hong Kong movies, he wanted to be a big brother for many years, so he came to Macau without hesitation.
Sure enough, under Xiao Quan's care, he was doing well.
"Boss Wu …" The originally stern Old An's teeth were now chattering when he spoke.
