Chapter 148 The Mole of Loyalty
Chapter 148 The Mole of Loyalty
"Hehe, that's great..."
Cheng Shifei chuckled, secretly pleased with himself, and was about to take advantage of the situation to agree.
He didn't intend to do anything else; he just wanted to take this opportunity to annoy Li Sanpao.
However, when his gaze swept over Shan Tianxie, his heart tightened immediately.
Only then did he realize that he was no longer in charge of the situation.
If it weren't for this mysterious young man who suddenly appeared, it's uncertain whether he would have been able to save his arm.
So his voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.
Dan Tianxie nodded secretly. It seemed that Cheng Shifei wasn't that stupid. People who can't distinguish between what's important and what's not, have no meaning in living.
Before long, Li Sanpao's henchmen brought over the silver, which was piled high on a tray, amounting to at least four or five hundred taels.
Looking at the pile of silver in front of him, Li Sanpao felt a pang of reluctance. This was all the hard-earned money he had saved up over the years.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he runs a gambling den in the capital and has dozens of thugs under his command. He may look respectable, but anyone who doesn't know him would think he's making a fortune every day.
But only he knows the bitterness in his heart. The gambling business seems to be profitable, but the competition is fierce and the consumption is high.
In a place like the capital, the offerings from all sorts of shady characters had to be made on time, and not a single penny less.
If you're even a little bit late, the business will fall apart, and sometimes you have to give double the amount during holidays.
In addition to the daily expenses of his subordinates, there are the daily food, clothing and other necessities for dozens of people.
Of course, he, as the eldest brother, has to take charge! This is all real money!
All things considered, these few hundred taels of silver represent all the working capital his gambling den can currently provide!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone so far as to threaten to kill Cheng Shifei over a few dozen taels of silver.
But thinking about all that now is useless. Money is good, but the most important thing now is to save your life.
Then, Li Sanpao shakily placed the tray in front of Shan Tianxie, and said with a big smile on his face.
"My lord... this is all the cash my Chang Le Gambling House has right now. Please accept it."
"Never mind, I didn't come here for this."
Dan Tianxie waved his hand, refusing to take the tray; his purpose in coming here was not to extort money.
Otherwise, if they just use Eunuch Cao's token to extort a few hundred taels of silver, who do they think they are?
He then looked at Cheng Shifei and said softly, "The matter has been resolved. Now you owe me an arm. Come with me!"
After saying this, he ignored the reactions of Li Sanpao and the others, and walked outside with Xiyu.
As Cheng Shifei watched the two figures leave, his mind raced with thoughts. He had a vague premonition that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for for decades!
Whether it's a dragon or a worm, this is the moment to see, so he hurriedly chased after it outside.
Li Sanpao stood there dumbfounded, wondering to himself, "What's going on? Did the sun rise in the west today? The people from the Eastern Depot actually left without asking for money?"
He had every reason to doubt whether he was dreaming, and in order to verify his suspicions...
So he looked at his underlings and before they could react, he swung his arm around them.
Then, with a loud slap, a big slap landed on the younger brother's face.
The underling was stunned by the slap, and only realized what had happened when a burning pain shot through his face.
Looking at Li Sanpao with confusion in his eyes, he wondered what was going on. Could it be that his older brother had discovered what he had done?
However, she still tried to appear calm and asked, "Big brother, what did I do to you? Why did you suddenly hit me?"
Li Sanpao ignored all that and looked at his slightly red and swollen palm. Hmm, it hurts a bit. It seems he wasn't dreaming.
However, he immediately remembered something else, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Didn't I just tell you to bring your sister-in-law out with you? Why didn't she come out with you?"
Upon hearing this, the younger brother who had been beaten secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that his older brother had discovered his affair with his sister-in-law.
He couldn't help but smile wryly, realizing he had only scared himself.
"My sister-in-law isn't home. I heard she went to Granny Wang's place on West Street to get her hair done."
"Oh."
Li Sanpao nodded. He knew about Wang Po; his wife often went there to get her hair done, and it would take her half a day.
"I'll have to talk to your sister-in-law next time. A woman shouldn't be showing her face in public all the time..."
He paused for a moment, thinking carefully. "You think your sister-in-law would cheat on me?"
"Hey, don't worry, brother, your wife would never do such a thing."
Upon hearing this, the underling who had been beaten instantly felt his heart leap into his throat.
At this point, we dared not let our older brother think about it any further; if he did, he would be in great danger.
Seeing that Li Sanpao was still somewhat uneasy, he then pounded his chest loudly.
"Don't worry, brother! My sister-in-law has a mole on her left breast. It's called a 'loyalty mole.' Women with this kind of mole are usually fine, so you can rest assured."
"A mole of loyalty..."
Li Sanpao muttered to himself for a moment, then he could rest assured.
But after a while, he came to his senses and a flash of inspiration struck him.
Wait a minute, how the hell did you know your sister-in-law has a mole on her chest?! You beast who seduced your sister-in-law!
That night, Chang Le Casino was not open to the public, and a series of shrill screams could be heard from the backyard. The neighbors all said that a murder had occurred!
.......
Meanwhile, Cheng Shifei followed Shan Tianxie and the other person onto the street, noticing that there weren't many people around.
He secretly cheered himself up, thinking that whether he could soar to new heights depended on this opportunity.
A resolute glint flashed in Cheng Shifei's eyes, and then he bent his knees.
With a thud, he knelt down before Shan Tianxie and the other man.
"Thank you so much for saving me today, young master. I will forever remember this great kindness! If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word and I will do my utmost!"
Cheng Shifei spoke loudly, completely ignoring the stares from passersby.
Only then did Shan Tianxie take a closer look at this chosen one from the original work, and he had to admit that Cheng Shifei did indeed have some shining qualities.
His courage and resourcefulness were demonstrated during the assessment of the secret agents of the Dragon Guard Villa.
Even Zhu Wushi, who had never liked him, had to admit that he was the number one secret agent in the Yellow Division.
