Chapter 196: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
After Mr. Rong and his group were taken away, Lu Shaojie curled his lips and sneered at the dance hall manager who was hiding in the dark.
"Since you didn't care just now, don't bother with it now. Let's continue singing and dancing."
The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent down and said, "Okay, Master Jun."
He didn't even dare to ask more about Lu Shaojie's background.
Lu Shaojie felt bored, pointed at Zeng Baoyi's box, and was carried over.
"Okay, Zeng Si, stop pretending to be asleep."
Zeng Baoyi woke up slowly, and seeing Lu Shaojie dressed in military uniform and looking very respectable, he yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said vaguely:
"Its daybreak?"
Lu Shaojie waved his hand, and the dancers beside Zeng Baoyi, who dared not to move, quickly dispersed.
Wei Miao said to Lu Pingsheng:
"Look, you give them money but they don't appreciate it. They just wave their hands and leave without taking a cloud with them."
Lu Pingsheng disliked her for talking too much, so he stuffed a large piece of watermelon into her mouth, and finally he felt at ease.
Lu Shaojie's voice came from the box below.
"I just want to ask you one question. What happened tonight?"
Zeng Baoyi raised his hand, rummaged around in his vest pocket where he kept his handkerchief, and took out a crumpled piece of paper with his short little hands and handed it to Lu Shaojie.
"Before you came, Lu asked me to bet, and that bitch Bai Hongyu gave it to me."
Lu Shaojie opened it, looked at the word "small" on it, and then a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Good, good! Now everything makes sense. Uncle Zhang played a very good game within the game.
Treat him and Zeng Baoyi as fools.
After he returned, he asked someone about Lu Pingsheng's series of actions after he entered the casino.
This antique dealer obviously came prepared...
Tonight he first had a flat tire and then got injured. It was already late when he got home. He felt like he was possessed by bad luck and didn't want to get involved in the gambling anymore.
It was that woman Bai Hongyu who told him that there would be a fat fish in the casino tonight.
Tell him that he caught two big fish in one game, and he will naturally be overjoyed.
Now holding the note Zeng Baoyi gave him, he sneered in his heart, but he didn't realize that he was the fish, which was really ridiculous.
Zeng Baoyi turned his head to look at him and said affirmatively, "You have it too?"
Lu Shaojie's expression was uncertain. He met Zeng Baoyi's innocent and somewhat stupid eyes, but finally nodded.
Zeng Baoyi jumped up and down, "So they asked the antique dealer named Lu to set a trap for us?"
Zeng Baoyi's voice was so loud that the already quiet dance hall was filled with his angry shouts.
Wei Miao swallowed the watermelon and commented: "Master Zeng's acting skills are far worse than yours."
After hearing her complaints, Lu Pingsheng curled the corners of his mouth but said nothing.
Lu Shaojie also snorted coldly:
"Your brain has gone mad from smoking opium. How can you be so bold as an antique dealer?"
It’s not that he looked down on Lu Pingsheng, but he felt it was weird. He even felt that from the beginning to the end, this man named Lu was the one who was kept in the dark.
After reading the note in Zeng Baoyi's hand, Lu Shaojie became more convinced of his guess.
"Do you believe that my father is a pauper, or do you believe that Zhang Er will lose when rolling the dice?"
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Zeng Baoyi opened his mouth and blurted out the excuse he had prepared.
Lu Shaojie, who was sitting on the sofa with his butt tilted, sneered:
"You don't need to remind me, I've already figured it out."
Otherwise, why would he take that damn Mr. Rong away with such fanfare today?
The Green Gang is a bunch of hooligans who think that they are second only to God when others call them "Master".
After scheming against Lu Shaojie, they slapped him in the face again. This time, they didn't let them get away with it. His name was written backwards.
"That kid from the Lu family, no matter who he works for, since he has become someone's gun, he should know the consequences." Lu Shaojie said in a fierce tone.
Zeng Baoyi listened to him and sighed:
"Have you really thought it through?"
"What else?" Lu Shaojie asked him back.
Zeng Baoyi shook his head and opened the suitcase beside him.
He opened the small box containing "Gangmao Yanmao" and pushed it in front of Lu Shaojie.
Seeing Lu Shaojie's expression, Zeng Baoyi told the truth:
"Before you came, a man named Lu came to me and gave me these two things. The Three Xi Tie is mine, and the two seals are yours."
"What does this kid mean?" Lu Shaojie asked the same question as Zeng Baoyi.
"What do you mean, save your life."
Lu Shaojie laughed angrily, "Shouldn't the way to save your life be to return the gambling money?"
Zeng Baoyi looked at him as if he were a fool and said:
"All your ten thousand acres of fertile land belong to Uncle Zhang. It's still unclear whether the kid from the Lu family can get the money."
Lu Shaojie also reacted. Yes, someone was willing to buy it at the price set in the bet, but the kid from the Lu family didn’t make a move and instead sold it to Uncle Zhang at a low price!
Isn’t this enough to illustrate the situation?
The kid from the Lu family was also scared, probably because he knew that he had inadvertently disrupted the Green Gang's plans.
He used fields to exchange for his life, and used three rare letters and seals to show his goodwill to them. . .
Thinking about the old man's words of disappointment on the phone, Lu Shaojie's face turned dark.
Zeng Baoyi couldn't put it down and admired the "Three Rare Calligraphy" in front of him. A smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Don't you think this antique dealer is a little interesting?"
Lu Shaojie came back to his senses and looked at the two jade seals in front of him, thinking:
Of course it's interesting. The prince of Jinling is about to have his birthday, and a few days ago his father was worried about what gift to give.
Isn’t it right in front of us?
Young Master Han Yun's favorite thing was priceless, yet this person gave it to him so generously.
In his eyes, this thing is definitely not worth ten thousand acres of fertile land, but if it can leave some impression in front of the prince, it is worth it.
The key is to make his father calm down.
Zeng Baoyi seemed not to notice Lu Shaojie's relaxed expression. He happily closed the box and said in a rare fair manner:
"Since we have known each other for a long time, I would like to remind you that Lu Pingsheng has a complicated background. It is not as simple as you think."
Lu Shaojie played with the small jade seal in his hand and said with a half-smile:
"Master Zeng Si is also willing to take advantage of others?"
Zeng Si ignored his ridicule and said slowly:
"The foreigner Durand next to Lu Pingsheng tonight is the nephew of the new French consul. Lu Pingsheng is also a good brother of Wu Ziyang from the French police station, and Wang Sanqiang from the International Settlement also follows his lead. It is said that he is also the lover of the Green Gang's White Rose..."
After hearing this, Wei Miao turned around and asked Lu Pingsheng: "Brother Lu, when did you become Miss Bai's lover?"
Lu Pingsheng rolled his eyes, "You know it's not, why are you still asking?"
Wei Miao was a little disappointed, "Miss Bai is actually a very nice person."
Lu Pingsheng laughed out loud, "Why, have you learned how to act as a matchmaker? I'll go to your house someday and ask your mother, little A Miao has grown into a teenager, should I find you a wife in advance?"
Wei Miao was horrified.
If Xu Ayu and Wei Ada heard this topic, they would probably feel guilty and tormented for several days.
Then he treated her even better, looking at her with a hesitation. . .
