A Card Shark’s World - C30
I stood in the room where Brother Hu asked me last time. However, the atmosphere this time isn’t as depressing as last time. There’s already a table of pretty good food and wine, probably prepared while I was fighting with four fingers.
I didn’t feel excited at all, nor did I feel the joy of having a successful plan. After all, I was just a chess piece in the hands of the bespectacled man, and now, I can only be this chess piece. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even know how I died.
Furthermore, I doubt the identity of Four Fingers. Four Fingers is so powerful, so I say that the bespectacled man doesn’t need to have me as a spy and just let Four Fingers pick out this Tsinghua University. There’s only one thing he can say, and that is that Four Fingers won’t help him completely, or just use money to do business.
What I am really interested in is just how high my four fingers’ mastery is in these thousand techniques. This is the only one I can’t see through since I’ve stepped into the Tao. Maybe his abilities are almost the same as my master’s!
When I saw Brother Hu looking at me with a smile on his face and thought about the leopard people watching me from behind, I suddenly remembered that I was in such a dangerous situation. If I took a wrong step, I might die without a burial place, and if I wanted to leave the county, I had to get rid of Brother Hu and Brother Bao Zi.
At this time, Brother Hu opened his mouth, “Little Six, it’s all thanks to you here today. Otherwise, that guy would have taken all my money away. It would be a pity if we didn’t cripple that guy in the end. His four fingers are so powerful.”
“Brother Hu is too polite. This is also because Brother Hu thinks highly of me. Otherwise, how could I have the chance to exchange blows with such an expert? I toast to you!”
Just like this, Brother Hu and I drank cup after cup of wine, but I kept myself awake from beginning to end. If I got drunk at this time and said something that I shouldn’t have said, I would really want to cry.
After three rounds of drinking, Brother Hu put his arm around my shoulder and spoke with a deep tone. “Lil ‘Six, you should know about the materials I have in my shop, but this can’t do. Let’s not talk about the past anymore. How about you stay in this casino and be my manager in the future?”
“I’ll give you 5,000 yuan a month. That’s not a small amount. In addition, you’ll also get a share. Even the Tsinghua University is under your control. In the future, Feng will help you manage it.”
In this era, buying a similar house would only cost tens of thousands of yuan. This 5000 months was already a lot. I had basically taken Sister Feng’s place. Sister Feng had now become my assistant.
Even if I didn’t want to be a hidden light at the casino, now that there’s a man with glasses forcing me, if I don’t have a spy on Brother Hu’s side, he’ll probably settle a thousand debts with me a few days ago. I immediately agreed to Brother Hu’s recruitment.
Brother Hu, I really don’t have anywhere to go. Since the money is gone, I will have to rely on you to eat in the future. However, the steward here used to be Sister Feng.
Lil ‘Six, you don’t have to worry about these things. Feng is just a woman, and it can’t be said that she’s your sister-in-law; even if you like her, it won’t be a problem. Regarding this, I will never treat my subordinates unfairly.
Looking at the smiling Hu-ge, I finally understood. I helped him get rid of the four fingers’ worth of trouble today, it could be considered to have solved the problem. To think that this stubborn Hu-ge would treat me so well.
Just like this, Brother Hu and I chatted for a while longer before he directly gave me a thousand yuan and arranged for me to live in the Tsinghua University casino.
Normally, I could move around during the day, but I had to stay at the casino after 8: 00 in the evening because casinos were the most crowded, and because of the rhythm of people’s lives right now, people were basically running around the city in their clothes. Only when night came did people reveal their inferiority complex, and people’s dirty behavior was usually accompanied by the camouflage of the night.
Thinking of this, even minors like to play all-nighters. Night was still very stimulating for people, and many people dared to do what they didn’t dare to do during the day.
Anyway, I had a good night’s sleep in Tsinghua Garden. When I woke up the next morning, my head was still aching a little. It seems like I drank too much with Hu-ge last night.
I don’t know who prepared it for me, but I didn’t expect that I would actually have the chance to wear this kind of thing. There aren’t many people who can wear a suit in our county, ah. Now, I can be considered one of the upper class in this county.
Perhaps it’s because I’m the manager. I woke up early in the morning to stroll around Tsinghua University, not to mention that the Tsinghua University Garden looked pretty good when the sun was rising. The scenery is pretty good.
It was at that moment that I saw a man in the courtyard. This man was none other than the four fingers that had been hunted down the night before. I suddenly woke up when I saw him. I didn’t expect that old brat to come here. He just escaped with great difficulty yesterday and waved me over. It seems that he specifically came to talk to me about something.
I hastily walked to the side of the four fingers. Without saying anything further, his four fingers grabbed onto me and a strong force came forth. He lifted me up and started running rapidly. I was swaying along with the wind.
I didn’t think that this old fogey would be so strong. I suddenly felt a little regretful that I had walked over to his side. This fellow was neither related nor close to me, why should I bother with him?
Even though I thought this in my heart, but these four fingers still brought me to a garbage station, directly brought my cat to the back of a garbage mountain, the pungent smell made me very uncomfortable.
After putting me down, his four fingers started laughing at me in a mysterious manner. This smile made me scared out of my wits. Ever since I started making thousands of money, I have constantly met people I couldn’t afford to offend. Now, I have met another weirdo.
“Uhm, are you alright, sir?” Wasn’t yesterday’s matter already over? Why did you suddenly come to find me? And I remember that you and I didn’t know each other before, right? If there’s anything you need help with, you should go find the bespectacled man, right? ”
“Kid, I’m looking for you because I want to do a business deal with you. Do you want to learn the thousand ways I did yesterday? I assume that your master is an expert, so I can only look for you to do business with me. After all this time, I’ve only met one person who is qualified to work with me. ”
“Uhm … Uncle, aren’t you familiar with the bespectacled man?” Why don’t you go look for him? He’s an idiot too! ”
“Little guy, do you think he’s reliable? To tell you the truth, he wants to take the life of the owner of the Tsinghua University, and drag you in as a funeral companion. If you agree to cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you’ll continue to live, or else you’ll be manipulated by that small glasses!”
I have a lot of aversion towards the man in glasses, and I feel that he is not using me as simply as he does. It seems that even after dealing with Brother Hu, I won’t be able to survive, and now that this old man is willing to help me, I might as well cooperate with him. Moreover, this old man knows martial arts, and he’s so shrewd, so I won’t lose out to him.
“Fine, then let’s work together. But what exactly do you want me to do? What can I do for you?”
Alright, since you promised to cooperate, I can relax, as for what it is, I can’t tell you right now, because the time is not right, and there is also the matter of you going back now, and you have to be honest with that Brother Hu. That little glasses guy wants you to do whatever you want, otherwise, you can’t really help him deal with Brother Hu, or else you will lose your life!
After saying that, the four-fingered old man disappeared in a flash. It could be said that he ran away. He didn’t even know what the collaboration was for after chatting for such a long time. He only reminded me not to actually scheme against Brother Hu.
