Gambler for Life!
Where in life do we not meet?
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao were taken aback.
They had never dreamed that they would run into Fang Qingya’s father, Fang Guozhi, of all places here.
The Fang Family was once one of the three major families of Tianyuan, and Fang Guozhi was the family’s decision-maker.
All this time.
And Fang Guozhi himself was a legend in Tianyuan.
Compared to Xu Changshan’s narrow-mindedness and pettiness, and the Mu Father and Son’s mercenary and cunning nature,
Fang Guozhi was the real godfather.
He was accustomed to making a wide range of friends, was magnanimous, and very generous.
Perhaps it was precisely for these reasons.
When the Mu Family of Tianyuan and the Xu Family of Liuli City had their fierce clash,
Fang Guozhi was the first to act at the hint of trouble, swiftly cleaning up the Fang Family’s business and transferring assets and personnel.
And by the time the storm had hit, he had already made a clean getaway.
He left his daughter, Fang Qingya, with several billion.
Otherwise, how could Fang Qingya have the capital to hire Huo Bin to squander money on battery research and develop electric cars?
In any case.
On the streets, Fang Guozhi was known for being astute, wise, and well-connected.
But Wu Jie really hadn’t expected that the merchandise on the Super Cruise Ship Brune would be under his supervision.
What does this mean?
Could it be that the tycoon Kun Qianxi had a relationship with Fang Guozhi as well?
If Fang Guozhi was also one of the hidden shareholders of the cruise, then when Mu En came aboard to talk business with Kun Qianxi…
Wait a minute!
Wu Jie suddenly understood.
There was no conflict or grudge between Fang Guozhi and Mu En!
If both Fang Guozhi and Kun Qianxi were shareholders of the cruise, and Kun Qianxi was a tycoon who manufactured goods,
Mu En had lost his business in Tianyuan and wanted to open up new markets on the Linliang Continent.
There was no reason for Fang Guozhi to oppose it, especially since Mu En’s daily guaranteed expenditure on the cruise was one million Gold Coins.
As one of the shareholders, how could Fang Guozhi ever hold a grudge against money?
…
Fang Guozhi also took a long time to come to his senses as he looked at Wu Jie and Tang Xiao.
“You, out first.
Call you if anything!”
Fang Guozhi dismissed the butler, He Yue, at once, and after the door closed, he looked at the two with an extremely complex expression.
“Are you two alright?
Didn’t you just get married?
And to think you’re here for a honeymoon?”
“This morning I was chatting with Qingya; she said she went to Jie’s hometown for the wedding banquet.
Hunting, and she actually got bitten by a snake…”
Once Fang Guozhi started, he couldn’t stop.
He rattled on at length.
Then suddenly.
Fang Guozhi frowned and asked, “That’s not right!
A few days ago, Qingya made a rare international call to ask me personally about the Brune Cruise.
Could it have been for your sake?”
As for that,
Wu Jie could only offer an embarrassed yet polite smile.
“Uh…
Fang, could you take a seat first?
My head’s all muddled right now.
Let’s sit down and talk it through slowly, alright?”
Fang Guozhi nodded slightly and sat down on the right side of the coffee table, casually pointing towards the cold storage room.
“You haven’t touched the stuff inside, have you?
All that is dangerous stuff.
You really mustn’t touch it!”
Tang Xiao laughed, “Don’t worry, Fang, we’re honestly not here to buy goods.
We have another purpose.”
“What purpose?
Isn’t the point of coming here just to eat, drink, and be merry?
It’s normal for you two to be separate but together…
I really am curious!
I…”
Fang Guozhi did not finish his words before Wu Jie raised his hand and signaled him to be quiet.
“Fang, let’s not waste words!
I just have one question for you.
Are you worthy of our trust?”
Fang Guozhi raised an eyebrow, smiled in surprise, and said:
“What are you talking about?
I’ve long heard you’re the King of Tricksters.
What’s the matter?
Got a bad scheme brewing and you’re starting to con me?”
Wu Jie rolled his eyes.
“Can we cut the chatter?
I’m just asking if we can trust you!”
Fang Guozhi patted his chest and said, “Joking!
What’s our relationship?
You saved my daughter’s life, so you’re my savior.
If I can’t be trusted, then who else on this cruise can you trust?”
At that, Tang Xiao immediately turned her head to glance at Wu Jie.
Strange!
Fang Qingya chased a wild duck and almost tumbled down the slope, rolling into the reservoir, and was unfortunately bitten by a snake.
But according to her, it wasn’t fatal!
So why, in Fang Guozhi’s mouth, did it become a ‘savior’ thing?
Is this an exaggeration, or is there another hidden story?
Tang Xiao did not choose to immediately question.
A wise woman would never publicly question and embarrass her man in front of others.
Wu Jie wasn’t paying attention to Tang Xiao’s glance because now that they had met an ‘old acquaintance in a foreign land’, things were going to be easier.
“Honestly, Fang, our trip this time was for a honeymoon and also to hunt our enemy,” said Wu Jie.
Fang Guozhi immediately asked with a laugh:
“An enemy?
Who?
Are they on the cruise?
You’re not talking about the chairman of Langsike CSA, Heinter, are you?”
“He got drunk and complained to me for a long time, saying you scammed him badly, and I…”
Noticing Wu Jie’s expression, Fang Guozhi gave an embarrassed smile.
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop.
You go on!
Carry on!”
Fang Guozhi leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, rested his chin on one hand, and assumed a listening pose.
Just as Wu Jie was about to speak, Tang Xiao interjected:
“Actually, it’s quite simple.
I left the army due to an injury, and because the tycoon Kun Qianxi hired the Black Angel Mercenary Group to ambush…”
In a few words, Tang Xiao explained the whole story.
Of course, that also included how they interrogated Mu En and then learned about the Super Cruise Ship Brune, leading them to show up here.
After listening,
Fang Guozhi sat up straight and folded his legs.
“I’m sorry!
I…
really didn’t know that this guy Kun Qianxi had this old grudge with you!”
“But I do know that in the past, to fight over territory and eliminate threats, he has done many cruel things!”
“And Mu En coming onto the cruise ship, I knew about it, but I didn’t show my face, and I might as well have been ignorant!”
“After all, when the Mu Family and the Xu Family were at loggerheads, it was actually me who colluded with Mu Jun, and I guess Jie already figured it out that night.”
“In case Mu En has already found out, wouldn’t it be awkward for me to show up now?
And wouldn’t it mess up Kun Qianxi’s business?”
Wu Jie nodded, unable to deny it.
“On the night Wang Taixiong held the acquisition celebration dinner, I thought the two of you were sneaking around.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before trouble ensued,” Wu Jie asserted.
Fang Guozhi sighed, “I was truly afraid of their families joining forces.
You know what Xu Changshan is like; he’s not easy to work with!”
“To prevent them from getting any bigger, I had to take the risk…
Oh well, it’s been so long, let’s not even mention it!”
Fang Guozhi also knew that Xu Changshan was Tang Xiao’s maternal uncle, but they were like enemies, their relationship very poor.
After a short pause.
Fang Guozhi began to explain his circumstances.
As the saying goes…
A leopard can’t change its spots.
In fact, Fang Guozhi knew about the grey market business back in the country and realized it couldn’t last long.
So early on, he began to lay the groundwork overseas.
Buying cruise ships, operating gambling boats, dealing exclusively with the rich…
The Super Cruise Ship Brune was doing so well partly because it had many shareholders behind the scenes with significant connections.
In this, Fang Guozhi was a minor shareholder and only in charge of goods.
And the major merchant Kun Qianxi, also a shareholder, was a supplier of goods.
To prevent him from misusing his position for personal gain, and substituting inferior goods for good ones,
they specifically had Fang Guozhi, who had inside knowledge, arrange for someone to supervise.
Ever since he lost his business back home, Fang Guozhi had nowhere else to go, so he simply came aboard the cruise ship to manage things personally.
As for Kun Qianxi, whom Tang Xiao wanted to take revenge on…
Fang Guozhi made his position clear.
He was willing to help and get rid of the scoundrel together.
After all, Kun Qianxi had monopolized the supply of goods on the cruise ship, making astonishing profits.
Fang Guozhi had long been looking for an opportunity to kick him out of the game and monopolize it himself.
Being one of the decision-makers of the three big families of Tianyuan, Fang Guozhi did possess some strategic brilliance.
But the problem was…
The guy was a complete gambler!
Many people would definitely think that a big merchant must be very wealthy.
But this guy was an exception.
He once played Texas Hold’em in the gambling hall of this cruise ship with several billionaires.
In one night, he lost ten billion!
And it was in Gold Coins, no less!
It’s so unbelievable that no one would trust it if they heard about it!
But it truly happened, perhaps because Kun Qianxi was too fond of gambling and his card skills weren’t that great.
Thus, it was often that billionaires would seek him out to play cards.
Kun Qianxi, who loses nine out of ten games, was admittedly bringing in business for the cruise.
However…
With the World Cup about to kick off, he stopped playing cards.
He wouldn’t step beyond the threshold of his suite on the top floor of his cruise ship, just researching how to place bets.
With several top bodyguards, it wouldn’t be easy for Wu Jie and Tang Xiao to make a move.
As for things like poisoning the food…
Well, one had better not entertain such vain hopes.
This guy had been poisoned by an insider before, nearly dying from it, and since then he’s had a psychological shadow.
Drinking and eating, he would only have leftovers that others had already touched.
All kinds of exotic cuisines and fine wines, the bodyguards would eat first, and only if they were fine, would he eat.
As for the bodyguards…
They were inseparable!
And he treated them quite well.
As for compensation…
Fang Guozhi had firsthand experience.
One day, when Kun Qianxi was lucky and won over a billion Gold Coins,
He was so happy that he casually handed out a few chips to his bodyguards.
Each chip could be exchanged for a million Gold Coins!
That generous demeanor, probably like a parent feeling generous and tossing loose change to their child.
So, Kun Qianxi’s bodyguards, already groomed from a young age, with deep affection and good treatment, were utterly loyal, ready to do anything for Kun Qianxi.
Of course, this also reflected one thing.
On this Super Cruise Ship, it was truly a world of drunken gold splendor.
A single card game could involve stakes of millions of Gold Coins.
If you consider ‘ten thousand Gold Coins’ as the equivalent of an ordinary person’s ‘one dollar,’ then it’s not surprising.
Ordinary people gambling a few hundred dollars in a game is no big deal.
Just as for billionaires with assets worth billions, losing or winning a few million Gold Coins is quite normal.
After all, there are both losses and wins.
Kun Qianxi, a ‘lucky gift giver’ who loses nine out of ten games, is indeed quite rare.
And he seemed to have had an epiphany, giving up cards to bet on football instead.
“We have one more hour before the opening match of the World Cup kicks off!”
Fang Guozhi raised his wrist to check the time,
“I’ll find a way to get Kun Qianxi to the betting hall, then you two will be able to see his true face!”
“As for how to make a move and how to get out unscathed, that will be up to you two!”
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao exchanged a glance.
“Alright then!
Just say that there is a VIP who wants to bet on football, wagering the kind that’s over a hundred million Gold Coins!”
Tang Xiao was all in.
Daring to sweep the emperor off his horse if one is willing to risk it all.
To draw the snake out of its hole and avenge her grudge, she needed to go all out!
She didn’t believe that Kun Qianxi, a man who lived for gambling, wouldn’t fall for it…
