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

At this time, Ma Long had not yet joined forces with Master Qiao. Master Qiao had not yet made a name for himself and was still working as a bricklayer on a construction site.

With his few remaining men all injured, Ma Long had no choice but to endure the pain and take his men to the hospital for treatment.

There's no way around it. No matter how good he is, he can't beat Xiao Ke and the others on his own. He can only conserve his energy and deal with it later.

Xiao Ke and his friends didn't take Ma Long and his gang seriously. They thought they were just a few thugs trying to cause trouble, and once they were taught a lesson, that was the end of it.

Among the gamblers at their casino, some who loved watching the spectacle witnessed Xiao Ke and his gang's bravery firsthand and secretly admired them. They thought to themselves, "The casino owners are no pushovers; they've got a bunch of ruthless thugs under their command."

After Xiao Ke and his group chased Ma Long and his crew away, they returned to the casino. A few of them had minor injuries, but after a quick treatment in the office, they were all fine.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Ke and his companions, five or six people were eyeing their casino intently from outside.

They were none other than Wang Bao, who had been robbed of the casino by Xiao Ke. He was leading his men, including Maozi, smoking cigarettes and watching everything inside the casino.

Wang Bao and the others witnessed the chaotic battle between Ma Long and Xiao Ke's group.

"Damn, bro, those guys from Khrushchev are really tough to fight, they're not easy to deal with." The Russian whispered in Wang Bao's ear.

"Damn it, if open methods don't work, we'll do it covertly. Send a stranger to the casino to keep an eye on things. Whoever wins money, he should come out with them. We'll rob them one by one. Let's see who dares to gamble then." Wang Bao threw the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

"Brother, this is a good idea. Those gamblers won't dare call the police after being robbed; they'll definitely think it was Little Ke and his gang. The casino's reputation will be ruined instantly. They'll only be able to lose money at your casino, not win. If they win, they'll be extorted. Who would dare come then? I'll send someone inside to keep an eye on things." As he spoke, the Russian sent an unfamiliar henchman to Little Ke's casino.

Using this method, Wang Bao and his group knocked on more than 10 people's bamboo poles in one night.

Every time, Wang Bao and his gang would swarm the winning gambler as he walked into the alley, beat him up, and then rob him of all the money he had won.

That one night, Wang Bao and his gang robbed over ten thousand yuan. They were overjoyed. Running a shady casino, they could easily make ten thousand yuan a night, which would amount to over three hundred thousand yuan a month. It was a business with no investment and huge profits. Damn it!

After a busy night, Wang Bao and his team were exhausted. They each found a girl to keep them company for a while, then slept soundly while touching the girls' large breasts, waiting to start work again that night.

That morning, while Xiao Ke and his friends were sleeping and the casino hadn't opened yet, they suddenly heard a loud knocking on the door, accompanied by curses.

Xiao Ke and the others were woken up by the knocking. "Damn it, who is it? Coming to gamble before the door is even open, idiots!" Zhang Guangyue cursed from under the covers.

"Gangzi, go check it out, what's going on here?" Wang Zhi said.

"Zhi-ge, call Guangyue over. I'm too lazy to even pee." Wei Qinggang doesn't like to move.

The knocking grew louder. "Get up, everyone! It sounds like a bunch of people. Could it be that bastard from yesterday causing trouble again?" Xiao Ke said, getting out of bed first.

When Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang saw that their elder brother had gotten up, they reluctantly got up and dressed.

When Xiao Ke and his friends went downstairs and opened the door, they saw more than a dozen people with bruised and swollen faces standing indignantly at the door.

After seeing Xiao Ke and the others come out, one of the gamblers took the lead and said, "Boss, what's going on? In your casino, you can only lose and not win?"

"Damn it, how dare you talk like that? Who forbade you from winning?" Zhang Guangyue pointed at the gambler and was about to rush forward.

Xiao Ke stopped Zhang Guangyue, saying, "Guangyue, step aside. Let's ask about the situation first. Please don't stand at the door, come in."

Xiao Ke knows that in business, the customer is king and reputation is value. He doesn't want to offend any customer, let alone ruin his own brand.

More than ten people stormed into the room and sat down. After they were all seated, Xiao Ke said, "Gentlemen, is there some misunderstanding? What exactly happened? Can anyone tell us?"

The gambler who had spoken earlier took the lead again, saying, "Boss, you're still asking us what happened? We just won some money from you last night, and as soon as we stepped out, we got a beating and robbed. Who else would know we won money except your casino? You guys are too ruthless! You let those who lose money leave, but those who win have to stay?"

"Damn it, who are you calling a liar? We were in the casino all night, are you blind?" Wei Qinggang shouted.

"Hmph, you guys in the casino, can't you send someone else?" another gambler said.

"Damn it, what did you say? I'll kill you!" Zhang Guangyue couldn't hold back any longer.

"Guangyue, Gangzi, shut up!" Xiao Ke shouted angrily, and Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang dared not utter another word.

Then, Xiao Ke instantly changed his angry expression to a pleasant one and said, "You guys must have misunderstood. Think about it, my casino has just opened. How could I possibly shoot myself in the foot? If I were to cheat anyone who wins a little money, my casino wouldn't be able to stay open for more than a month."

How about this? Tell me how much money you were robbed of yesterday, and I, Xiao Ke, will give you every penny without hesitation. By tomorrow morning, I will definitely find out who robbed you and give you a satisfactory explanation.

After hearing what Xiao Ke said, the dozen or so gamblers looked at each other, feeling that what Xiao Ke said seemed to make some sense.

"Really? You can give it back to us? I won 1,200 last night." A gambler said skeptically.

"Cousin, go get the money and give it to this guy," Xiao Ke instructed.

Wang Zhi took out the key, opened the safe, counted out 1,200 yuan and gave it to the gambler. "Here, you count it."

The gambler's eyes lit up. "No need to count, no need to count, I'll be going now." The gambler happily took the money and left.

I won 2,100 last night!

I won 1500!

Seeing that Xiao Ke was actually returning the money, the gamblers all reported how much they had won. Some of the gamblers, who liked to take advantage of others, deliberately added an extra three or four hundred.

Xiao Ke didn't utter a sound and let Wang Zhi distribute the amounts to the gamblers one by one according to the numbers they reported.

The gamblers got their money and left happily, their faces no longer aching, their backs no longer sore, they walked with a swagger, and their mouths were practically dripping with laughter.

"Damn it, who the hell is messing with us again? Everyone stay alert tonight, follow whoever wins and see who's behind it all," Little Ke ordered.

Will Xiao Ke and his friends catch Wang Bao and his group next? Stay tuned for the next episode.
