Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan

When the guard came in, he saw Wei Qinggang holding onto the cell leader's tongue. He pulled out his electric baton and shouted, "Put it down! Put it down right now!"

Everyone else crouched down with their heads in their hands, but Wei Qinggang didn't care about that. He still grabbed the man's tongue with one hand and held his chin with the other, as if he was about to make him bite his tongue and commit suicide.

When the guard saw that Wei Qinggang was not listening to him, he knew that someone was going to die, so he picked up a stun gun and shoved it at him. Wei Qinggang was shocked by the stun gun, his body shuddered instantly, and he fell straight down.

"Take him away and put him in solitary confinement. All of you better shut up. Anyone who misbehaves will suffer the same fate as him." After saying this, the warden left and put Wei Qinggang, this big tiger, into solitary confinement.

At this point, all three of Little K's musketeers were put in solitary confinement. Fortunately, Little K's uncle pulled some strings and gave some gifts to the guards, so the three of them were spared additional sentences, but were each put in solitary confinement for 7 days.

Seven days later, Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qing were released. During their daytime exercise, they all ran to Xiao Ke's side.

"I heard you guys were put in solitary confinement as soon as you arrived. Can you please calm down and not cause trouble?" Xiao Ke said.

"Brother, we need to make a strong impression when we first come in, right? I've already taken over the command." Zhang Guangyue said.

I've also established myself as the leader of the cell. Wei Qinggang was quite pleased with himself.

"Xiao Ke, what happened to your face? Did you get punched?" Wang Zhi asked Xiao Ke.

"It's nothing serious, it's normal to bump into things when you first come in," Xiao Ke said.

"What the hell happened? Who the hell messed with my brother? I'll kill him! Brother, tell me who it was, and I'll cripple him right now!" Zhang Guangyue shouted, his eyes bulging.

Damn it, they've gone too far! Who the hell is this? Wei Qinggang joined in the commotion.

As soon as they shouted, several guards looked over and slowly walked towards Xiao Ke and his friends.

"Stop yelling, can't you see the guards are all coming?" Xiao Ke reminded him.

"What are you guys yelling about? You were just released, and you want to put me in solitary confinement again?" one of the guards shouted.

"Reporting to the leader, it's nothing, it's nothing. They were just joking around." Xiao Ke explained with a smile.

"It'd better be alright, everyone quiet down. You lot, disperse!" the warden shouted.

"Yes, yes," Xiao Ke and the others nodded and bowed. No matter how powerful they were inside, they had to behave themselves when they saw the guards. Solitary confinement was something where you couldn't stand or lie down. Once you went in, you'd have to submit.

Xiao Ke and the others dispersed and returned to their respective cells. Although Xiao Ke was now lying in the second bunk, the cell leader and the others dared not provoke him anymore, and he was able to eat. He just endured the days like this.

Wherever he went, Xiao Ke was a quick thinker. He pondered that a year's sentence wasn't too long or too short, so he needed to figure out what to do.

Unlike his three musketeers, he didn't always think about using his fists to settle things. Force was just one way to win people's hearts, but it was definitely not the only way.

In terms of profit, money is the only constant and effective way to get others to follow you wholeheartedly and work for you.

After observing for several days, Xiao Ke discovered that the two things most lacking inside the high walls were women and cigarettes.

Even if Xiao Ke racked his brains, he couldn't get women into his life, but he could get cigarettes. If he could monopolize all the cigarettes inside the high walls, he could definitely do whatever he wanted inside.

So how did you get involved in gambling? Well, you'd have to use your special skill—gambling. Back then, regulations weren't too strict. As long as you didn't fight or kill anyone, playing cards or something was fine.

Playing poker can't just be for fun, you have to gamble with something. Back then, we didn't have any money, so we could only gamble with cigarettes, which were scarce.

This was exactly what Xiao Ke wanted. Come on, he's an expert at playing poker, whether it's three against one, Texas Hold'em, or any other game.

Xiao Ke first played in his cell, and in no time at all, he won all the cigarettes in the cell, leaving not a single penny.

You can't go too far in doing things. After winning all the cigarettes in his cell, Xiao Ke would occasionally give them one or two to satisfy their cravings.

There was no other way; without women and cigarettes, life was impossible in the cell.

Xiao Ke couldn't finish the remaining cigarettes, so during his exercise time, he gave some to Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang so they could smoke as much as they wanted.

With a leader like that, who wouldn't follow him wholeheartedly? He'd thrive anywhere, and he'd always think of his brothers first when good things happened.

After dealing with the people in his own cell, Xiao Ke started dealing with the people in other cells. For Xiao Ke, dealing with them was as easy as a college student dealing with a kindergartener, or an elephant dealing with ants.

Little Ke is a professionally trained gambler, while the people inside the high walls are either murderers and arsonists or thugs who rob and plunder. What makes them think they can compete with Little Ke?

Xiao Ke won more and more cigarettes. When he had too many, he shared them with the other people in his cell, giving some to Wang Zhi and the other two. Finally, when he couldn't smoke any more, he sold them.

This threatened someone's interests; the cigarettes inside the high walls weren't available to just anyone, they were monopolized by a man known as Master Wu.

Who is this Master Wu? He can be said to be a person who has connections even inside the prison walls. He was brought in from outside for serious assault and was sentenced to more than 10 years.

Master Wu was quite familiar with the guards, to the point of being like brothers. All the food, clothing, and shelter items inside the high walls had to be bought and sold through Master Wu. Of course, Master Wu would give a portion of the money to the guards every month.

You can gamble a little, no matter if you're a gambling god or a gambling king, but if you cross the line and get involved in selling cigarettes, that's absolutely unacceptable.

During their day off, Xiao Ke, Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang were smoking and bragging together.

Suddenly, more than 10 people surrounded them, and then a burly man with tattoos all over his arms and chest stepped out from the crowd.

He had a square face, a high nose, thick lips, large ears, and piercing eyes; his appearance was fierce. This man was none other than the famous Master Wu. He walked up to Xiao Ke and asked...

So your name is Xiao Ke, right? I heard you've been pretty good at gambling lately. I don't care how good you are at gambling, winning a little bit of cigarettes is fine, but selling cigarettes is not allowed, understand?

Who the hell are you, trying to act tough? "Fuck you!" Zhang Guangyue said, about to rush forward. When Wei Qinggang saw Zhang Guangyue about to go up, he also threw away his cigarette butt and prepared to rush up with him.

Xiao Ke reached out and stopped the two big bastards. With so many people watching and so many disciplined people outside, Xiao Ke didn't want his two brothers to be locked up again, so he stopped them in time.

Next, how will Xiao Ke retaliate against Master Wu's threat? Stay tuned for the next episode.
