Chapter 64 Rewards based on merit
"I underestimated this old man!" Shark Nine threw his cigarette butt at Master Bing and then stomped on it.

Old Ghost Bing had been moving between various factions over the years, negotiating with people outside, and had become accustomed to that kind of thing, but he underestimated the most basic logic of gangs—the most naked violence.

In addition, he didn't care much about Shark Nine, a junior, but he didn't expect Shark Nine to want to kill him regardless of the consequences.

After all, big shots need to save face and follow certain rules when doing things.

However, this old dog was full of wicked schemes and vicious plots before he died.

Shark Nine killed him outright, not wanting Chen Wujun to hear what he had to say.

He could choose not to suspect Chen Wujun, but he couldn't stop Chen Wujun from suspecting him.

"This old dog is still trying to sow discord before he dies. Isn't he afraid we'll take our anger out on his family?" Chen Wujun looked at Bingye's corpse on the ground with a hostile expression.

Does this old man really not care whether his family lives or dies?

"I reckon they've already escaped! The locations he revealed earlier were just to distract us and buy time for his family to escape."

Shark Nine picked up the phone and dialed:
"Find out where Lao Guibing's family is."

The call came back in less than ten minutes.

"No one's home. It looks like he just left, but we didn't see him outside. He's probably still hiding in some apartment." The voice on the other end of the phone was a woman's, but it wasn't Karen.

"Just as I thought! Never mind, no need to look anymore, let's have tea together later," Shark Nine said.

Old Ghost Bing lives in Taikoo Li, which is similar to Mei Foo Sun Chuen. It has many residents, and they are all middle class.

She couldn't possibly let people search everywhere there.

This has probably alarmed quite a few people by now.

She was just verifying her guess.

After hanging up the phone, Shark Nine glanced at Chen Wujun and said, "He really did run away."

"Senior sister, what did Master Xin say on the phone?" Chen Wujun asked about the phone call that Shark Nine had received earlier.

"The old man said that the outside world is not a fortified village, and there are different rules outside." Shark Nine picked up the cigarette case, lit one for himself, and tossed the case to Chen Wujun.

“Brother Bing has no power, so he can move around to different places and reach agreements with various gangs. He pays a portion of the money each month, and in return, the gangs allow him to lend money in their territories. This is what the gangs need.”

"Otherwise, if someone lives in Sitiao's territory and borrows money from loan sharks He Yong and He Yi, how will they collect the debts? Will He Yong and He Yi just go to Sitiao's territory and start beating people up?"

“That’s the value of Bing Ye’s existence. But he can do it, but we can’t! Because we are backed by He Tu. If we lend money in other gangs’ territories, we’re crossing the line.”

Shark Nine's explanation of the intricacies involved was not without its instructive meaning.

"Therefore, the loan shark company that was robbed this time needs to give back most of its assets to silence all parties and prevent the conflict from escalating."

Chen Wujun sat on the sofa, smoking and thinking.

What Shark Nine said was something he had never thought about before, and he had never been exposed to these things before.

Only then did he understand the intricacies and various interpretations involved.

"I don't think anything will happen today. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow after the old man and I meet with the other gangs."

"Then I'll go back!" Chen Wujun said, standing up.

Some of his men were injured at the teahouse, and he wanted to go and check on them.

Before leaving, he glanced at Master Bing's body one last time, though he didn't know what Master Bing and Shark Nine said after he left...

But those 1300 million and 1400 million made him realize the insidious scheming of these old hands, like venomous snakes, who didn't forget to dig a pit for revenge even on their deathbed.

'By understating it by just one million, he dug himself a hole.'

'If it weren't for Senior Sister's swift and decisive action, that old dog could have caused so much trouble.'

Never underestimate anyone; always think things through carefully in the future!

'What was Old Dog trying to say at the end? His senior sister suddenly attacked and killed him, interrupting him…'

Back at the gambling den, everything seemed normal, with Curry and a group of people waiting there.

"Brother Jun!"

"Have all the injured been taken care of?" Chen Wujun asked.

"They've all been sent to the clinic."

"The expenses will all come from the gambling den's account. Let them focus on recovering from their injuries. We'll discuss the rest after this is over," Chen Wujun said.

After staying at the gambling den for a while, he got up and went to Ah Yue's place.

He's been through a lot today and is mentally exhausted, so he wants to rest.

When they arrived at A-Yue's place, A-Yue hugged him from behind and rested her chin on his shoulder.

Feeling the softness against his back, Chen Wujun felt a stirring of desire and reached back to hook his arm around A-Yue's waist...

The next day, in the warehouse, Chen Wujun slowly turned on the ground, then suddenly squatted down and slid out, just like the swallow skimming the water he had used the day before.

'This is the only move we can use...' Chen Wujun stopped moving.

He reviewed the situation several times, and this was the best response he could come up with yesterday.

Although the snake was seriously injured, its strength and reaction were far superior to his own.

While the python's somersault is both offensive and defensive, it lacks the agility and speed of a swallow skimming the water, making it easy for the opponent to seize an opportunity.

"So, I didn't make a mistake. It's just that I'm not fast enough and not strong enough! If I were strong enough and fast enough, I could use other moves to deal with it, like using the python's flip to continue attacking his injured armpit."

Chen Wujun let out a long sigh of relief.

In the evening, as Chen Wujun picked up his clothes and prepared to leave, he received a call from Shark Nine.

"Come to Gemdale Finance if you have nothing else to do."

Chen Wujun put on his clothes and went to Jindi Finance.

"Brother Jun!"

"Brother Jun!"

This time, all of Jixiang's henchmen took the initiative to greet Chen Wujun warmly.

Chen Wujun knew that his prestige had risen again after yesterday's events.

Even the most auspicious henchman had to admit that he had secured his current position and was starting to take things seriously.

Chen Wujun ignored them and knocked on Shark Nine's office door. Inside, he found the same people from yesterday.

Jixiang sat there with a serious expression.

Ah-hao had both legs propped up on the coffee table, lounging there casually.

Hua Zirong was reading a lewd magazine.

Cunbao was holding a hand gripper that was as thick as a finger and constantly squeezing it.

"Sister Shark Nine!" Chen Wujun greeted her and then sat down next to Hua Zirong.

"That's a great figure!"

"Of the recent newcomers, this one is the most outstanding. If I ever have the chance, I'll start a risqué magazine, and all the newcomers will have to audition here first," Hua Zai Rong said with a smug look.

"Remember to call me, I want to come and observe too!" Chen Wujun said with a grin.

"You had such a great figure, but you didn't want it when I offered it to you. Now you've got a taste for it?" Shark Nine teased with a smile, then changed the subject: "Now that everyone's here, let's get down to business."

"I met with the leaders of each gang today, and we have a solution to the problem."

“Old Gui Bing has agreements with various gangs, and some gangs have even invested money with him. Now that we’ve killed Old Gui Bing, their money will be wasted.”

"So the final agreement was that the matter of Lao Guibing would end there. The gangs would not stand up for him, but we would also take a portion of Lao Guibing's assets to compensate them."

"Old Guibing's cash and IOUs all belong to us. Afterwards, those IOUs will be packaged up and sent out to other people to collect."

"Of the sixteen loan shark companies, twelve were used to compensate them, and the remaining four belonged to us."

"We're cutting people up in front of us, and they do nothing but get twelve loan shark companies!" The muscles on his chubby arms bulged as he gripped the hand gripper tightly, looking annoyed.

“This was agreed upon by Master Xin and them!” Shark Nine said.

Cunbao immediately fell silent, looking sullen.

"We should still listen to what Master Xin says, after all, we are also part of the Hetu," Shark Nine continued with a smile.

"Moreover, I also have to hand over 500 million of the money I took from Lao Guibing to the company this time."

“Yesterday, Junzai and I went to see Lao Gui Bing together, and he blocked Beng Zui She. You get 120 million.” Shark Nine picked up a bag from under his feet and threw it on the ground.

With a bang, Chen Wujun's heart instantly burned with excitement.

"Thank you, Sister Shark Nine!"

“These are yours. You guys can relax a bit, it’s not that dangerous. 80 each!” Shark Nine kicked a few bags next to him again.

"As for those loan shark companies, I will hand them over to other people to manage. On the surface, they will not have much to do with our Hetu. This is also the condition that Xinye negotiated with them."

Shark Nine's words made Ji Xiang's body stiffen for a moment. He had thought that those loan sharks would be handed over to him.

However, he quickly relaxed.
