125 Whose Casino? (2/2)
Hearing the news, Mr. Qi became angrier and was in a worse mood. However, when the pushed the door open and looked at the guy, his mood and face turned extremely weird. He wanted to laugh and to cry, but he failed to squeeze any tears. He was thinking, ”What the fuck is this?”
...
...
Hearing the words ”Mr. Qi”, Ning Que's face also instantly became very colorful when he saw the thin man in an indigo robe come into the room. He felt kind of embarrassed because he was making illegal money at an acquaintance's domain. However, he still said, ”Indeed we are friends... in fact not so close... How about this? Considering the face of Chao Xiaoshu, I offer you a 50 percent discount on all previous accounts.”
His reaction was very fast. The words contained three levels of meaning: First, if he behaved like they were close friends, it was embarrassing to get this silver; second, if he coldly acted like they were unacquainted, he was also worried that Mr. Qi would turn hostile; and third, he knew the Fish-dragon Gang was powerful, so he mentioned Chao Xiaoshu finally.
Mr. Qi was kind of stunned by Ning Que's words and almost uttered laughter due to his anger. Then he stared at him and said testily, ”Are you sure that you want the silver of this casino?”
In Ning Que's view, they were indeed acquainted, but had met just twice. In such a situation, did he not feel embarrassed if he refused to offer the silver? If the account was small, he did not mind acting like a heroic and generous buddy in front of Qi IV. However, he had won more than 70,000 taels of silver before...
For the over 70,000 taels of silver, he was willing to act like a dead body and then let Sangsang feignedly bury him, let alone disposing of the old friendship and so-called generosity. He looked at Qi IV and said after two sounds of gentle coughing, ”Mr. Qi, I remember that when we first met, you said that as long as you live, I can do anything in Eastern City.”
”This is Western City!” Mr. Qi replied snappily. Then he stood up and got several land titles and contracts authenticated by the government from a locked box, and he threw these papers on the table in front of Ning Que, saying, ”Anyhow, the casino belongs to you. If you enjoy such games, it is up to you.”
Feeling that he seemingly had heard some information by mistake, Ning Que rubbed his ears and then asked, ”Whose casino?”
Pouring a cup of tea, Mr. Qi said in anger, ”I said that it was your casino.”
Picking up those several contracts on the table and having a glance, Ning Que saw his own name at the bottom of the paper. He was petrified on the spot immediately, and then raised his head to look at Mr. Qi, with eyes full of shock and confusion.
”Elder brother Chao Xiaosho ordered many things before going traveling the world, and one of them was about you.”
”What was it?”
”He said you have been so poor these years for so long that you are eager to escape from poverty. During that night, for only just 500 taels, you followed him to kill people regardless of anything. It was really very terrible... How could an outstanding figure be subservient for just a little food? Besides, he was afraid that you are stupid enough to become a killer due to poverty, so he had prepared some assets for you.”
As if looking at a ghost, Mr. Qi stared at Ning Que who was shocked and speechless, and then angrily sighed, ”Elder brother's worry was really a hell of a foresight. A dignified cultivator illegally makes money at the casino! What the hell is this! I dare say you have become crazy due to poverty these years, right?”
