Playing Tricks?

Appearances can be deceiving!

If Wu Jie had known what the chef before him was capable of, he wouldn’t have tried to act tough and put on airs to the death of Yang Weiye.

He now wished he could gouge out his own eyes and turn back time.

But what was done was done; all he could do was pray that he was still of some use to Wu Jie.

Otherwise…

He feared he’d end up lying in a hospital for half a month, or squatting in a detention center for a few days.

Wu Jie took a long drag of his cigarette, casting a cold glance at Yang Weiye’s underling.

“Get them the hell out of here!”

“Right away!

Right away!”

Yang Weiye turned around and cursed at his underlings:

“What the hell are you making noise for?

Get lost, all of you, right now!”

“I’m telling you!

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in this restaurant in the future is crossing me!”

“Spread the word among those lowlifes and thugs out there, anyone who comes here to stir up trouble is asking for death!”

“What are you staring at?

Get the hell out!”

Amidst the loud cursing, a group of ‘underlings’, none of them small or lightweight, left.

One by one, they slunk away humbly and limping, their previous ‘gangster’ bravado nowhere to be seen.

Watching the last underling leave, Yang Weiye was still trembling slightly.

He had seen tough guys in his day, but never one who could fight like this!

In the past, when he used to run a black coal kiln, he hired thugs.

To watch over the miners he had tricked and coerced into coming, beating them to a pulp if they dared to be lazy or escape.

Later, as the coal business declined, he switched to running a club.

Earning money carefully squeezed between the powers of Tianyuan’s three major families, he naturally needed people to keep watch over the place.

He had seen his fair share of powerful, strong, nimble, and ferocious types…

but Yang Weiye had never seen anyone as formidable as Wu Jie.

His underlings, each and every one, were trained fighters.

One of them was even an amateur fighting master who had fought underground matches for him and won a foot-washing city.

Gazing at Wu Jie with expectant eyes, Yang Weiye knelt on the ground, chuckling, while constantly weighing his options.

Wu Jie pulled over a chair to sit down and asked with a smile:

“Considering how domineering you were today, it seems I was too gentle with you last time in this neighborhood!”

“In my restaurant, you actually dared to make other customers drink with you!”

“Tsk tsk!

You think just because my restaurant is open late, it’s a nightclub?”

“And pretending to drink…

do you want me to join you for a few bottles?”

Yang Weiye shook his head repeatedly, his large head wobbling like a bobblehead.

“No, no…

how dare I!”

“Mr.

Wu…

uh, I mean Jie, I was wrong, I’ll never be arrogant and overbearing again!”

“I…

actually, I was wronged, I was just drunk and impulsive!”

“It would’ve been fine if she refused to drink with me, but she relied on her little bit of fame to slap me in front of my brothers, I…”

Wu Jie waved his hand, not wanting to hear Yang Weiye’s nonsense.

“I just want to know how you plan to handle this situation!”

Yang Weiye quickly said, “Pay money!

I’ll have someone send over two hundred thousand in cash right away!”

Wu Jie chuckled softly.

This damned fatso, beaten twice and now he’s finally learned to behave.

And quite the people-pleaser, too!

The internet celebrity only asked for a hundred thousand in compensation.

Yet Yang Weiye, as if struck with amnesia, doubled it to two hundred thousand.

Well, if that was the case, Wu Jie had nothing more to pursue, and didn’t want to dwell on this trivial matter.

“Stand up first; don’t effing kneel all the time.

Trying to shorten my life, are you?”

“Of course not!

I’m kneeling because you look particularly dashing from here, and I feel more at ease.”

Yang Weiye said with a smile.

Wu Jie raised an eyebrow.

“Shit!

If you were born two hundred years earlier, with your ability to play all sides and butter people up, you could’ve at least been a chief steward in the imperial court!”

Yang Weiye said obsequiously, “Brother Jie, you flatter me.

I made a mistake and should be punished.

Didn’t you have something to ask me?

I’ll tell all, holding nothing back!”

Wu Jie flicked the ash off his cigarette, put on a serious face, and asked:

“With the three major families of Tianyuan on the run and scattered, what exactly is the situation on the streets now?”

“What?

Brother Jie, are you thinking of making a comeback?” Yang Weiye asked eagerly.

With Wu Jie’s skills, plus his background as a son-in-law of the Tang Family in Tianyuan.

Tsk tsk!

He could definitely become Tianyuan’s underground overlord!

It’s just a pity…

Wu Jie gave him a cold, disdainful look.

“Do I look like someone who’s into the gangster life?”

Yang Weiye’s mouth twitched slightly as he hurriedly shook his head.

But he thought to himself…

With such ferocious actions, even gangsters aren’t as wildly tough and explosively powerful as you!

Seeing Wu Jie’s brows furrow slightly, Yang Weiye quickly recounted the situation.

It was very weird…

After the Xu Family of Liuli City and the Mu Family of Tianyuan clashed, it set off a chain reaction.

Mu En’s vicious retaliation, Mu Huan’s life and death, Xu Changshan’s passing, Fang Guozhi’s escape…

And many other small forces, led by the film and television tycoon Wang Taixiong, fled to avoid being swept up.

So no force caused chaos over scrambling for territory.

Represented by the yellow, gambling, and drug trades, the gray business once nearly vanished from Tianyuan.

But in the pursuit of huge profits, there were always people willing to risk everything.

Gradually, forces from other cities began to quietly infiltrate Tianyuan.

However, they were all extremely cautious, neither daring to fight each other openly nor acting too brazenly.

Even nightclubs, KTVs, and disco halls reopening did so with great discretion, forgoing even the typical flower basket celebrations.

So…

According to Yang Weiye’s statement, the current underground forces of Tianyuan were a disunited bunch yet living peacefully together.

Everyone was there to “make a fortune in harmony,” with no scrambling for turf or open conflicts—everyone just minded their own business.

Yang Weiye admitted that he had seized the opportunity when the three major families were gone, investing all his wealth to buy a number of nightclubs at low prices.

“…in short, all sorts of forces are present, but they’re just small fish and shrimp, out to make a bit of petty cash!”

“There’s no overt or covert fighting either; everyone sticks to their own lane without encroaching on others!”

After Yang Weiye finished, Wu Jie was somewhat puzzled.

“How strange!

Initially, the Xu Family from Liuli City was in such a hurry to expand the market and even collaborated with Mu Father and Son…”

Yang Weiye hurriedly said, “They’re long gone!

I’ve heard from the grapevine that Xu Kuishan and his son both feel this place is unlucky and have stopped coming!”

“How many men and how much money did they lose in Tianyuan?

If they stayed, perhaps they’d encounter even worse luck!”

Wu Jie chuckled lightly.

“These superstitious father and son are quite the odd pair.”

Yang Weiye laughed heartily and said:

“When you’re in this line of work, of course you believe in these things, but I reckon they stayed away because they ran out of money!”

“Rumors say Mu En swindled them of over a billion Gold Coins and many family members perished, leaving them severely weakened!”

Wu Jie waved his hand dismissively.

“Let’s not dwell on that.

Let’s talk about the World Cup period— who in Tianyuan and the surrounding areas is setting up sports betting?

Yang Weiye immediately pointed to the northwest:

“Yeah!

Old Dragon Head in the eastern city, Ma in the development zone…

There’s a lot, big and small!”

“This World Cup produced quite a few upsets, and being the bookies, they made a fortune!

If only I understood it, I might have opened my own betting operation!”

Wu Jie snuffed out his cigarette, frowning as he asked:

“Who’s the biggest one?”

Yang Weiye quickly responded, “The biggest one isn’t in the city but rather in the remote and savage Beilong County!”

“Who’s the main man over there?

Luo Chenyun?” Wu Jie asked curiously.

Yang Weiye’s eyes brightened as he laughed and said:

“Hey, Jie, you really have widespread connections!

Isn’t it him?

This guy used to hang out with Yuan Shikui, specializing in debt collection.

After Yuan Shikui fell, he gathered a group of people there to run a gambling operation, and the business is incredibly hot!”

“I’ve heard they’ve been targeted by a few gambling crackdowns, but they just can’t be touched!

There’s no helping it, they’re hidden deep in the mountains and forests, with lookouts everywhere.

As soon as police cars start up the mountain, they’ve already slipped away!”

“Plus, with World Cup matches being played at night, it’s too inconvenient to raid gambling operations in the old mountain ravines at that time, so they have a geographical advantage and are the most rampant.

Many wealthy people from the city areas go there to gamble!”

…

Luo Chenyun??

Wu Jie smiled sheepishly.

Isn’t this the same guy who, under the pretext of donating to the orphanage, tried to get Lin Yuan drunk and took advantage of her?

Thinking he could drink Wu Jie to death, but ended up losing more than three million and his gang went to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.

Hearing Yang Weiye’s description, Wu Jie thought that this guy really had made a comeback!

Opening a gambling house during the World Cup, the profits would undoubtedly be terrifying.

The former underling of Yuan Shikui had indeed made an “Underdog Counterattack” and become a boss himself!

After listening, Wu Jie gestured dismissively.

“Alright, get lost now!”

Yang Weiye was immensely grateful, smiling profusely and bowing repeatedly.

He quickly fished out a business card from his pocket and offered it respectfully.

“Jie, if you need anything, just command me.

If tonight’s disturbance has affected the business in the shop, I guarantee I will take full responsibility!”

Wu Jie took the business card and nodded slightly.

Yang Weiye was overjoyed, almost to the point of prostrating himself in gratitude.

But a stern glance from Wu Jie immediately frightened him enough to scurry away hastily.

Despite being kicked twice and his stomach aching, miraculously, he felt nothing at all now.

Surviving a major disaster must mean good fortune to follow!

Could this mean he had latched onto a powerful backer?

Yang Weiye, with his back drenched in cold sweat, didn’t dare to linger or ponder too long.

After leaving the back yard, he hurriedly arranged for people to send money over.

Wu Jie didn’t stick around either.

Scum like Yang Weiye were bound to be summoned to the “little black room” for a chat.

Wu Jie had merely inquired out of curiosity about Tianyuan’s underground situation.

After all, to establish a foothold in Tianyuan, it was essential to grasp the latest shifts in the situation.

Returning to the kitchen, Wu Jie continued barbecuing skewers.

Not long after.

Yang Weiye had someone deliver the money.

Naturally, he himself obediently went to join the internet celebrity in accepting the conciliation from the patrol officers.

Zhang Hao, being the manager, had to be present since the incident had occurred in his establishment.

After the match ended and the business booming inside the shop had finally cleared out,

Zhang Hao, having dealt with everything, was ready to close up shop when he returned.

After explaining the situation to everyone, he pulled Wu Jie outside, gesturing towards a pickup truck and murmured:

“Bro, that internet celebrity says she wants to see you, she’s in the truck outside!”

“See me?” Wu Jie frowned slightly and looked into the vehicle, “Did you tell her who I am?”

Zhang Hao shook his head, “No!

She seems not to know who you are, but insists on seeing you or she won’t leave the truck!”

“Do you think she’s trying to extort a lump sum of money from us?

But that guy named Yang has already given her a hundred thousand!”

Wu Jie chuckled lightly, “Extort money?

Only if she’s tired of living!”

“You stay here, I’ll go meet this internet celebrity and see what trick she’s trying to pull!”
