Chapter 35

"Uh!"

Liu Chunsheng was taken aback, knowing that Chen Dasheng was referring to his injured right hand. He hurriedly laughed and said, "Brother Sheng, you really know how to joke around. My hand is almost fully recovered, and besides, I haven't played League of Legends since I was sixteen!"

When Liu Chunsheng said this, everyone present burst into laughter!

During the meal, there were many toasts, and Chen Dasheng accepted them all. These guys were just ordinary people; even if they had a good tolerance for alcohol, how could they compare to Chen Dasheng, a martial arts master?

"Hey, I thought that voice sounded familiar. Isn't this Liu Dashaon?"

Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, the door to the private room was pushed open. Chen Dasheng looked up and saw a young man with a flat head and a bulbous nose walk in. He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a shirt and suit pants, dressed very neatly. He was slightly overweight, clearly a person of some status. His face was flushed, indicating he had already had quite a bit to drink.

Chen Dasheng thought this man might be a friend of Liu Hao, but when he saw Liu Hao frown, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could this be one of Liu Hao's enemies?

"Wu Wenxuan, I have important guests today and don't have time to deal with you. Get lost as far as you can!" Liu Hao lifted his eyelids and said to the young man without any courtesy.

However, the young man showed no anger. He just smiled and walked over. "Important guests? There aren't many people you, Liu Dashaon, would call important guests. I really want to see who it is."

Wu Wenxuan walked to the table and scanned the room. He recognized almost everyone there, and his gaze finally settled on Chen Dasheng, who was sitting next to Liu Hao.

"Could this be the important guest?" Among these people, only Chen Dasheng was not part of Liu Hao's group, and he was the only one Wu Wenxuan didn't recognize!

There was a hint of mockery in Wu Wenxuan's eyes. Chen Dasheng had an honest face, wore a pair of jeans that cost no more than twenty yuan, and a pair of casual shoes that had been washed so many times they had turned yellow. The only valuable thing he had on was probably the Metersbonwe jacket.

Could such a person be an important guest? Wu Wenxuan was skeptical. Could he be a relative from Liu Hao's hometown?

"That's right, Mr. Wu. I advise you to leave quickly. We'll settle our accounts later. Otherwise, disturbing Brother Sheng's mood won't be good for you," Liu Hao said to Wu Wenxuan, while Chen Dasheng ignored him.

"Ha ha, please forgive me, important guest. I'll leave once I'm done with my business," Wu Wenxuan smiled, then turned to Liu Hao, "Liu Dashaon, you're always elusive. It's not easy to find you. You owe us 5.58 million yuan, and it's been almost two years. Shouldn't we settle the account?"

"Wow, so you're here to collect a debt!" Chen Dasheng's face twitched, and he looked at Liu Hao with a strange expression. This guy was really full of surprises, owing so much money. He had thought it was one of Liu Hao's enemies.

Liu Hao's face twitched, and he gave Chen Dasheng an apologetic look before standing up and forcibly pulling Wu Wenxuan out of the room.

"Da Chun, who is that?" Chen Dasheng asked Liu Chunsheng, not knowing what Liu Hao was doing with that person.

Liu Chunsheng laughed dryly and said, "His name is Wu Wenxuan. His mother is the chairman of a film and entertainment company, but his father is quite powerful. His father, Wu Yingxiong, is the leader of the Little Knife Gang, one of the two major gangs in our city, specializing in underground casinos. He has a lot of influence. Last year, Brother Hao lost money in their casino and has been pursued for debt ever since. Wu Wenxuan is like a plague, always popping up to ask Brother Hao for money. Brother Hao is very annoyed by him!"

How could he say that? If you owe someone money, they have the right to collect it. Chen Dasheng was speechless. Damn, these are a bunch of elites. Are these the so-called second generations? Their logic is completely different from his own.

Seeing Liu Hao's followers loudly recounting Wu Wenxuan's sins, Chen Dasheng could only sigh inwardly. Rich kids, owing money and still thinking they're in the right.

A moment later, the door to the private room opened with a click. Liu Hao came in first, with a satisfied smile on his face, followed by Wu Wenxuan, who walked quickly to Chen Dasheng's side, his frown turning into a smile.

"Brother Sheng, I apologize for any rudeness. Please allow me to make amends!" Wu Wenxuan took an empty glass, filled it with white wine, and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.

Chen Dasheng looked back at Liu Hao, puzzled, not knowing what he had said to Wu Wenxuan. His attitude had changed so quickly!

As the saying goes, "A smiling face can turn away a blow." Chen Dasheng also raised his glass and drank it in one go, waving his hand to show he didn't mind.

Wu Wenxuan smiled and handed over a business card. "This is my card. I have some business to attend to, so I won't disturb Brother Sheng's meal!"

With that, Wu Wenxuan bowed apologetically and left the room.

Chen Dasheng turned to Liu Hao, who looked smug, and frowned. "Did you mention my sister's name again?"

Liu Hao's smile froze. "Brother Sheng, it's about resource utilization. Otherwise, that guy would keep pestering us, and we wouldn't be able to enjoy our meal!"

"Damn!" Chen Dasheng spat. "Did he forgive your debt?"

"Uh!" Liu Hao laughed dryly and said, "Not exactly, but he gave me a discount and extended the deadline by a few months."

"Damn, your family is so rich, how can you still owe money?" Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes.

Liu Hao's face turned red. "Brother Sheng, you don't know. They run several underground casinos. Over a year ago, this guy tricked me into gambling. I won a little at first, but then I lost more and more. I realized something was wrong and knew I had been tricked. I left immediately. Damn, tricking me for money, I wouldn't pay him!"

"Is their casino big?" Chen Dasheng was intrigued, thinking of his previous gambling experience with He Liang. He felt a bit itchy.

Liu Hao said, "Of course it's big. His father is a gangster. Brother Sheng, are you interested in checking it out?"

Chen Dasheng thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, let's talk about it later!"

Although he felt a bit itchy, Chen Dasheng knew that gambling was not a good thing. Once addicted, it's hard to quit. He still had money and didn't need to resort to such things.

Liu Hao was disappointed. He had hoped Chen Dasheng would go with him to the Wu family's underground casino, thinking that with Chen Dasheng's influence, he might get his debt forgiven.

Chen Dasheng knew what Liu Hao was up to and wouldn't let him succeed.

Taking a sip of wine, Chen Dasheng asked, "Rat, what kind of status does my sister have in Rongcheng? Why do you all seem so afraid of her?"

Liu Hao laughed dryly. "We're just commoners. How would we know? But my father gave me an example!"

"Hmm?" Chen Dasheng put down his glass and stared at Liu Hao, waiting for him to continue.

Liu Hao said, "Brother Sheng, let me put it this way. Your sister is like a secret agent or the head of the Imperial Guard. Don't be fooled by her pretending to be a fortune-teller at Wenshu Temple. Behind the scenes, even the governor and party secretary have to be cautious around her."

Liu Hao's words left Chen Dasheng somewhat puzzled, but he didn't care much. He would gradually learn more about Chen Xiaoli.

"Ring, ring!"

His phone vibrated in his pocket. Chen Dasheng took it out and saw a call from Liu Yunshi, frowning.

"What is it?" he answered, sounding a bit annoyed.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yunshi's voice came from the other end.

"What else, eating. I called you earlier, but you didn't come," Chen Dasheng said irritably.

"Oh!" Liu Yunshi responded, sounding hesitant.

"What's with the hesitation? Speak up!" Chen Dasheng said.

Liu Yunshi paused and said, "Can you come over now?"

"Huh?" Chen Dasheng was taken aback. "Where? What for?"

Liu Yunshi quickly said, "I'm at Wangfujing Yamamoto Japanese Restaurant. Can you come?"

"Uh..." Chen Dasheng hesitated, sensing urgency in her tone. "Did you run into some trouble?"

There was a moment of silence, and then Chen Dasheng heard someone calling Liu Yunshi. She responded and quickly said, "I've run into a real piece of work and need backup. Come quickly."

With that, Liu Yunshi hung up.

"What's going on, Brother Sheng?" Everyone at the table looked at Chen Dasheng with confusion. Liu Hao asked.

Chen Dasheng frowned, then smiled at Liu Hao and the others, put away his phone, and said, "We've eaten and drunk enough. Let's call it a day. Thanks for the hospitality!"

Seeing Chen Dasheng about to leave, Liu Hao knew he must have some urgent business and stood up. "Brother Sheng, where are you going? I'll take you!"

"Forget it. You've had so much to drink, can you even see the road? If you get caught, you'll be in trouble!" Chen Dasheng laughed.

Liu Hao was not pleased. "Brother Sheng, I may not be as good as you at drinking, but I'm not bad. It would take another half a catty to put me down. Come on, I'll take you. I have connections with the traffic police, no worries!"

"Damn!"

Chen Dasheng mentally flipped Liu Hao the middle finger. Since Liu Hao insisted, he didn't refuse and left the room with him, leaving behind a table of half-drunk people.
