Tan Xiu liked the feeling of hunger. It made him feel like he had the smell of fireworks. He remembered when he was in the Immortal World, he didn't need to eat at all. Usually, if he wanted to eat something, he would taste the rare and precious fruits.
Seven emotions and six desires.
Five grains and miscellaneous grains.
The smell of life in the secular world made him somewhat intoxicated. The most perfect thing was because he now had his mother. Ten thousand years of regret was made up today, and he especially cherished it.
After a moment …
Tan Xiu left the villa and strolled on the tree-lined trail with birdsong and fragrant flowers. He enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere in the surroundings, and his mood was tranquil. South Gate Town was indeed worthy of being one of the most luxurious villas in Star City. Every security guard he met would stop and salute him to show their respect.
"Money makes the world go round."
Tan Xiu quietly savored this sentence. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Today's society was very different from the Immortal World. In the Immortal World, the strong were respected, but in this society, wealth and power were respected.
"Hello, Mr. Tang."
The tall and good-looking Property Manager, Long Xueyao, happened to pass by and greeted Tan Xiu with a smiling face.
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile. After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered the sanitation issue of the house. He immediately stopped Long Xueyao and asked, "Manager Long, I have something to ask you."
Long Xueyao said with a smile, "Please say it, Mr. Tang."
Tan Xiu helplessly said, "Manager Long, does the Property Management Office in South Gate Town have a sanitation service? I want to hire someone to clean it regularly. "
Long Xueyao said, "Our community does have a sanitation service, but you need to pay an additional fee. Actually … I suggest Mr. Tang to hire a few maids. After all, there will be a lot of precious items in your house. Although the Property Management Office's cleaning staff will do their job, accidents are inevitable. "
Tan Xiu said, "Hiring maids will have to wait for a while. So be it! You send someone to help me clean it first. I'll give you the fee now. "
After saying that …
Tan Xiu took out a stack of hundred yuan bills from his bag and directly handed it to Long Xueyao.
Long Xueyao strangely looked at Tan Xiu. She did not expect that Tan Xiu would actually carry so much cash with him. This stack of hundred yuan bills, she estimated that it should be ten thousand yuan. Moreover, when Tan Xiu was withdrawing money from the bag, her sharp eyes caught that there were many stacks of hundred-yuan bills in it.
"Weirdo!"
Long Xueyao secretly muttered in her heart.
In this day and age, no matter how rich one was, very few people carried so much cash with them. With the development of the times, the "credit card" business had become more and more popular, and it had been popularized by the people of the country.
"Mr. Tang, you don't need to give me money now. When you pay the property fees every month, our management office will calculate it and report the total amount and details to you."
Tan Xiu thought about it and nodded, "Alright then. You let the cleaning staff clean once every two or three days. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. "
"Take care, Mr. Tang!"
Long Xueyao calmly looked at Tan Xiu's back as a thoughtful expression flashed in her eyes. She was very curious about Tan Xiu, because the most expensive King View Villa in South Gate Town was reserved by her cousin, Long Zhengyu. Even the interior decoration was specially designed by her cousin, and all the materials used were the best. But, why did her cousin give that villa to this young man?
South Gate Town.
Because it occupied a large area, it took Tan Xiu a lot of time to go out. Near South Gate Town, there was a bustling commercial street with rows and rows of shops with a dazzling lineup of goods. Each of the shops belonged to the high-end level.
Just as Tan Xiu stepped into this commercial street, he smelled the fragrance of food floating in the air. He walked forward and scanned the area with his eyes. Soon, he saw the restaurant that was decorated in an antique style. The plaque was engraved with three big characters, "Drunken Immortal Abode", which looked vigorous and powerful.
After entering the door, Tan Xiu sat down in front of the table and chair by the window. After the waiter brought him the menu, he casually ordered two dishes and a main course, and then quietly waited.
"Humph …"
Tan Xiu's eyes, through the glass window, keenly caught a few youths who were sneaking around at the far end of the street. After leaving South Gate Town, he was aware that a pair of eyes were staring at him. That feeling was very strong. However, in order not to beat the grass and alert the snake, and in order to determine the identity of the other party, he didn't look around. Instead, he came here and used the corner of his eyes to observe.
He was a bit worried. He was worried that some of the murderers he killed had slipped through the net. He was not afraid of retaliation, but it was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but it was hard to guard against a stab in the dark. He was afraid that those remnants would retaliate against his mother, just like how they retaliated against Yuan Chuling by kidnapping his mother.
At the end of the street.
Scarface Li was leaning against the corner, smoking a cigarette as he observed Tan Xiu in the "Drunken Immortal Abode". He had arrived at South Gate Town half an hour ago, and the reason was that he had been paid to eliminate disasters. He didn't know how many times he had done this kind of thing.
"Big Brother, why didn't we act just now? Looking at that brat's appearance, I can knock him over by myself. "A youth with dyed blonde hair asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yeah! When that brat left South Gate Town, we had the chance to clean him up. Why didn't we act? "Another robust youth asked.
Scarface Li sneered and said, "You two are too impatient. In our line of work, it's better to be safe than sorry. When Young Master Gu contacted me today, he told me that this brat's identity is a bit unusual. We can't fail miserably in an easy task. "
The blonde said without taking it seriously, "Big Brother, Young Master Gu just told us to break his legs. Let's just swarm up and directly cripple him, and then leave immediately. Star City is so big, I'm afraid that he won't even know who hit him after he's been beaten! "
"Shut up!"
Scarface Li fiercely slapped the blonde's face and said with a gloomy expression, "Remember this! Carelessness will only make us miserable. You've been following me in this line of work for a few years, and I think you all know that standing on the riverbank will make your shoes wet. I don't want your brothers to be implicated because of your carelessness. Big Tiger, ask Xiao Qiang where they are. "
Upon seeing Scarface Li's anger, the robust youth suddenly jumped up in fright and quickly contacted according to Scarface Li's instructions. Quickly, he hung up the phone and said, "Big Brother, Xiao Qiang and the others will arrive soon."
Scarface Li nodded and said, "We'll wait for Xiao Qiang and the others to arrive, then we'll find the right time to act. With more than a dozen people suddenly attacking that brat, even if he has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to escape the fate of having his legs broken. "
"Yes, yes!"
The robust youth nodded again and again.
On the roof of a nearby three-story building, Gu Yuetao was holding a pair of binoculars as he stood on the edge of the building. Next to him was a middle-aged man with glasses and a briefcase.
"Young Master Gu, we haven't clearly investigated the other party's background, yet we rashly sent people to act. Isn't it too hasty? I always feel that he can live in South Gate Town not only because of his relationship with Long Zhengyu, but perhaps there's something special about him. "The middle-aged man hesitated.
Gu Yuetao sneered and said, "He Gang, how come we haven't clearly investigated that brat's background? It's just that his gambling skills are good, and the house was given to him by Long Zhengyu! Also, his family background is that he's a country bumpkin from the countryside. Moreover, he's a high school student from Xingcheng City # 1 High School. Besides, Scarface Li is a man who knows the rules. Even if he fails, he won't sell me out. "
He Gang was silent for a moment before he finally nodded silently.
He also felt that he was being overly cautious. He was very clear about Gu Yuetao's identity and background. Not only was Gu Yuetao's father the City's First Secretary, but his mother also managed a company with hundreds of millions of assets. And he was Gu Yuetao's mother's secretary.
Inside the Drunken Immortal House Restaurant …
Tan Xiu was sitting alone by the window, quietly tasting the dishes of the Drunken Immortal House. For him, the taste of the dishes was very ordinary. It was simply incomparable to the delicacies he had eaten in the Immortal World, and the Bejeweled Nectar he drank. Not to mention that he was once a Grandmaster Chef, and his culinary skills had reached the pinnacle.
"Ring, ring, ring …"
His cell phone's ringtone suddenly sounded.
Tan Xiu took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. He pressed the answer button and lightly said, "Tan Xiu speaking, who's this?"
"Grandmaster Tang, I'm Jia Ruidao's eldest apprentice, Gong Dalong. Can you spare some time for us to meet? I've arrived at Star City. "
Tan Xiu angrily said, "I told you, I don't have time."
After saying that!
He directly hung up the phone.
For Tan Xiu, he didn't like professional gamblers like Jia Ruidao. To be honest, Jia Ruidao's gambling skills were indeed very powerful. However, there would always be someone better than him in the world, and there would always be someone higher than him. If one day, Jia Ruidao were to encounter someone more powerful than him, then perhaps his fate would be very miserable.
Furthermore!
Once a gambler's eyes turned red from losing, it would definitely be a terrible thing. They would lose their reason and recklessly lose everything. In a light case, they would lose their family's wealth, and in a heavy case, their lives would be in danger.
"Gamblers are just a bunch of people who are like snakes trying to swallow an elephant. Greed is the original sin. "
Tan Xiu couldn't help but curse inwardly. The food he was eating became even more tasteless.
"Ring, ring, ring …"
That phone number just now was calling back persistently.
A chilling light flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. He was silent for a few seconds before he put down the chopsticks in his hand. He pressed the answer button again and spoke with a sinking tone, "I told you that I'm disgusted with gambling. Furthermore, my friendship with Jia Ruidao has yet to reach the point where I can stand up for him from a thousand miles away. I'm warning you, if you dare to harass me again, you'll have to bear the consequences. "
"Grandmaster Tang, I understand what you mean. But can you listen to what I have to say? My Master is old and has long intended to retire from the gambling circle. This incident is completely caused by my Junior Brother. My Junior Brother is Master's son, so Master has no choice but to act. Furthermore, I know that your friendship with Master has yet to reach the point where he needs your help. But I still want to ask you to help him. "
"If Grandmaster Tang is willing to help, I'll give all my assets to you. It's not a lot, only tens of millions of yuan. Also, if you help my Master this time, we, master and disciple, will owe you a huge favor. If Grandmaster Tang has any errands for us, we, master and disciple, will be the first to rush over even if we are at the ends of the earth. "
