Samurai Attack!

520: Chapter 520 The Prodigal Gambling God?

Samurai Attack!

Tang Xiao’s beautiful eyes widened, and she seemed a bit dazed.

“Who gave you this note?”

Tang Xiao’s voice was full of curiosity.

Wu Jie turned his head back, took the note, and grinned naughtily:

“With this kind of scribbly handwriting, who else could it be but a doctor?”

“But…

are doctors really so unrestrained these days?”

“There’s no ‘but’ about it!

As long as it can relieve the patient’s worries, why care about the method?”

Wu Jie winked and teased the blushing Tang Xiao, “Let’s go!

We’ve got the medicine, let’s hurry home and try it out!”

“I don’t want to!

It’s broad daylight, don’t you have any shame!”

Tang Xiao pursed her red lips and crumpled the note into a ball.

“Draw the curtains, turn off the lights, and isn’t it dark then?” Wu Jie chuckled and started driving.

Tang Xiao glared at Wu Jie with resentment and grudgingly gathered the medication and ointment scattered on the seat.

“We won’t always be living at Tianyuan Haoting, will we?”

“That’s up to you!

The apartment is closer to work and more convenient, so let’s just live in the apartment during weekdays!”

Wu Jie knew what Tang Xiao’s implication was.

The house at Tianyuan Haoting was nice, but it had one severe problem.

Chu Yunxuan, the enchantress, lived downstairs!

When women get jealous, it can take at least a week or two to forget about it.

If Wu Jie directly said that they would live in the apartment in the future, that would make Tang Xiao think he had a guilty conscience.

In short!

Hehe, women!

Their words seem simple and casually expressed.

But actually, they hide many small tricks, and the slightest slip can spark a disaster!

Luckily!

Wu Jie had apparently navigated the challenge successfully, satisfying Tang Xiao’s wish without arousing her suspicions.

After putting away the medicine, Tang Xiao reclined in the back seat.

This posture…

it was priceless!

Where was the demeanor expected of a CEO of a Fortune 500 company?

She looked entirely like a woman who did as she pleased.

She was practically using the car’s back seat as her home sofa.

If she were snacking while binge-watching a drama, she’d be the very image of a ‘married woman.’

This subtle transformation had gone completely unnoticed by Tang Xiao herself.

Humans deal with different people in society every day, almost always lying, saying things against their true feelings.

But it’s when they face their families, their loved ones, that they drop their masks to reveal their true selves.

Just like Tang Xiao now.

Clearly, the real her didn’t like dressing formally every day, remaining unsmiling, being that strict, domineering, and aloof CEO.

With Wu Jie, she chose to return to her natural, carefree self.

She crossed her long, graceful legs and sat askew in the back seat.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at her phone screen, her expression a mix of smile and non-smile, as her delicate fingers gently slid across it.

Finally, at a red light, Wu Jie stopped the car and turned to her with a smile, asking:

“What’s made you so happy?”

“My investment!” Tang Xiao laughed, “Didn’t we make a bet?

My investment has started, and I’ve already seen a return today.

How about that?

Impressed?”

Wu Jie was taken aback.

Previously, the two had agreed to split the money given by the three goons evenly between them.

They would each invest their share and compare at the end of the year who gained more from their investment.

If Tang Xiao won, she would have to put her uniform back on and return to military service.

Otherwise, she would have to be a well-behaved housewife at home, devoted to her husband and children.

“Wait…

what kind of investment did you make that you’ve seen returns so quickly?”

“I don’t mind telling you!” Tang Xiao lit up her phone screen for Wu Jie and smiled, “See?”

“Damn!

Futures!!”

Wu Jie said in surprise, “You’re quite bold!

You actually dare to gamble with that!”

Futures come in many types, like agricultural products such as soybeans, wheat, corn, precious metals like gold and silver, as well as energy commodities like crude oil, gasoline, rubber, even bonds, foreign currencies, and stock indices can be traded.

Trading futures is scary.

Because you can use a small amount of money as a margin and then leverage five to ten times to speculate.

If you win the bet, you can make a big profit from a small stake.

But if you lose, you risk being forced to liquidate your positions.

In short!

Trading futures is even more thrilling than stocks and requires strong capital and exceptional insight.

“Surprised about what?

Futures are risky, sure, but with the right operation, the chance of losing is actually lower than in the stock market!”

“Besides, I’m only betting one-third of my half, which is eighty-four billion.

That’s pretty gentle of me!”

“My mom was a master of financial investment back in her day, otherwise, how could the group grow so rapidly without loans from banks?”

Wu Jie turned his head back and continued driving.

“Play however you want!

After all, I’ve already ended up with a spendthrift wife like you, completely trapped with no way out!”

Tang Xiao looked up, a light laugh in her eyes, “What do you mean by that?

Are you hoping that I lose everything?”

“Yeah!

If you lose everything, then I win by default!

From then on, you’ll be a full-time housewife, bearing children for me!

Yes, a whole soccer team!”

“Speaking of soccer!” Tang Xiao asked with a laugh, “The World Cup is about to start, you’re not planning to make a profit by betting on it, are you?”

Wu Jie snorted, “Bet what!

Even if you can outsmart the bookmakers, can you withstand the upsets?

Do you think you’re the Lady of Gambling?”

“If you’re really going to bet, then go against the grain!

Bet the opposite way on soccer and you’ll have a villa by the sea!

Trust me, you can’t go wrong!”

Tang Xiao huffed with a chuckle, “I trust you, big-headed ghost!

Wait till the games start, I’ll bet thirty million on Germany to win!”

Wu Jie laughed derisively, “Have you forgotten where this year’s World Cup is being held?

The German machines have never conquered the Eastern European steppes—not in war, and definitely not in soccer.

If you’re going to bet, bet on the Samba Army or the Gallic Roosters!”

“I’ll bet on whoever I want, we agreed not to interfere with each other!”

Tang Xiao gave a snort of disdain and continued to watch the futures market.

Wu Jie had no interest in betting on football at all, he was itching to get home and play ball!

He wanted nothing more than to drive home quickly and, following the doctor’s orders, apply medicine and commence battle!

…

Meanwhile, in the hospital.

Yuan Shikui, battered and bruised, demanded of the nurses to administer two shots of painkiller after being resuscitated before he took a shower.

What a great humiliation!

To be stepped on the face with Xu Anyong’s foot, his leather shoes scraping across his head.

He washed his hair over and over again, always feeling as though there were still blood and snot in his hair.

In the end, he simply asked someone to bring a razor and shaved it all off with a buzz.

The mighty boss of a listed company!

A billionaire with assets worth tens of billions!

To be humiliated like this, Yuan Shikui was raging with anger.

And the most despicable of all was Wu Jie!

This guy simply filled him with loathing.

Recalling how Wu Jie filmed his miserable state, which enraged him to the point of reckless charging, he ended up chipping his teeth in the process.

The utterly embarrassing video could be uploaded on the internet by Wu Jie at any time.

Turning him, Yuan Shikui, into a laughing stock for the whole world, delighting those who cursed him as a traitor.

This guy was simply too venomous.

So…

Yuan Shikui sent all the medical staff away and locked himself in the hospital room, where he made an international long-distance call abroad.

He requested the Muto Conglomerate, which covertly held significant stakes in Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co., to urgently send reinforcement.

Otherwise.

He would either be humiliated to death by Wu Jie or tortured to death by the Xu family of Liuli City!

The Muto Conglomerate, with over a hundred years of history, possessed immense power and was teeming with talent.

So, to solve business troubles and to protect the safety of its corporate personnel, the conglomerate had always paid high wages to train samurai.

The problem raised by Yuan Shikui naturally received high attention from the Yincheng Muto Conglomerate.

After all, Tianyuan He Ying Credit contributed huge profits to them every year.

If Yuan Shikui became infamous or was killed, it would be an incalculable loss to their conglomerate.

Therefore.

The chairman of the Yincheng Muto Conglomerate personally promised Yuan Shikui.

He would arrive as quickly as possible to protect Yuan Shikui and secretly take out Wu Jie.

Yuan Shikui wept tears of joy and was filled with overwhelming excitement.

The people of Yincheng were not only his godfathers but dearer to him than his real father!

Back when his company was rapidly developing but facing financial difficulties, it was the Yincheng Muto Conglomerate that financed him and helped him overcome the crisis.

Now, facing both a reputation crisis and a survival crisis, Yuan Shikui was exposed to double dangers and could only rely on the people from Yincheng.

Only…

After making the international call, Yuan Shikui suddenly realized a problem.

If Wu Jie knew about Su Geng’s whereabouts and that he was planning to escape to Yincheng, then…

His phone must have been tapped!

Yuan Shikui was annoyed with himself, but there was no retrieving the words once they’d left his mouth.

So what if Wu Jie knew?

He wouldn’t dare come to the hospital and try to get to him before the samurai from the Yincheng Muto Conglomerate arrived, would he?

If he died, he would no longer serve as a shield, and the Xu family of Liuli City wouldn’t agree to that!

Yuan Shikui even felt it was better to let Wu Jie know.

Let him understand he wasn’t someone to be trifled with; with Yincheng backing him, those who insulted him would die!

If it scared Wu Jie into weeping, running back to kneel and beg for mercy, obediently deleting the video and paying a large sum of money.

Considering the face of Tianyuan’s Tang Family, Yuan Shikui thought he might even consider forgiving him.

However…

What Yuan Shikui could never have anticipated was that less than a minute after he hung up the call, Wu Jie received a recording of the conversation with the chairman of the Muto Conglomerate.

At that moment, Wu Jie was still several minutes away from home by car.

After listening to the recording for a while, Wu Jie replied to Yu Hui:

“Old Yu, you think I’m omnipotent?

There’s no video?”

“And it’s just two men jabbering away—get someone to translate it for me, quick!”

Whoosh!

The message had just been sent when Tang Xiao in the back seat couldn’t help laughing.

“Didn’t you brag about being a genius?

How come you don’t even know foreign languages?”

“Why should a patriot like me learn that bird language?” Wu Jie glanced slightly sideways, “From your tone, it sounds like you might know how?”

Tang Xiao arrogantly proclaimed:

“You’re joking.

Have you forgotten what I used to do?

I could fly planes and drive tanks.

What’s a foreign language compared to that?”

Wu Jie immediately withdrew the voice message he had sent to Yu Hui and reordered:

“Continue the surveillance, and I have a hunch that there’s going to be big trouble today in both the Xu family and Mu En, keep a close eye on Mu En!”

After sending the message, Wu Jie set down his phone.

Taking advantage of the remaining dozen seconds of the red light, he quickly turned back to ask with a smile:

“How many languages do you actually speak?”

“Not many, just four!” Tang Xiao replied with feigned modesty.

“Not bad at all!”

Wu Jie chuckled, “Then later on, when we go back and do that thing, could you use a foreign language?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Tang Xiao grabbed her medicine bag and hurled it at Wu Jie with full force.

“You dirty rogue!

I’ll kill you, you bastard!!”
