Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan
Chapter 68 Helping Hao the Cripple
When Xiao Ke was released, Su Xiaolin and his three musketeers were waiting for him outside.
When Xiao Ke came out of the police station, his face was bruised and swollen, and his legs were a little weak. He looked like he had been through a lot.
Su Xiaolin and Wang Zhi rushed over to help Xiao Ke up. Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang were furious when they saw Xiao Ke beaten up like that.
"Fuck them! These bastards are using torture to extract confessions! I'll fucking wipe them out!" Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang said, and they tried to rush into the police station, looking ready to fight to the death.
"Guangyue, Gangzi, what are you doing? Your older brother just came out, and you two want to go back in?" Su Xiaolin called out to them.
Sister-in-law, did my brother just get beaten up for nothing? Wei Qinggang was still indignant.
"I finally got him out of there, and now he's safe. He doesn't need to go back to the sewing machine anymore. Don't cause any more trouble, come back quickly," Su Xiaolin instructed.
Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang had no choice but to help Xiao Ke back to their casino.
After Xiao Ke returned home, Su Xiaolin and his brothers took meticulous care of him, and his health gradually improved.
During this time, people from the underworld like Hao the Cripple, Yang Mantou, and Xiao Fei all came to see Xiao Ke. Among them, Hao the Cripple came the most frequently, calling him "Brother Ke" all the time. It has to be said that even though he had polio, he could still make a name for himself and was very good at navigating social relationships.
Just as Xiao Ke was recovering, Hao the Cripple came again, hobbling along on his crutches. This time, Hao the Cripple wasn't just there to see Xiao Ke; he also had a request.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Hao the Cripple explained his purpose: "Brother Ke, I've come today to ask you for a favor."
"Damn, just say what's wrong. When did you start acting all coy?" Little Ke said to him.
I didn't expect you to be here, so I came to ask you for help. My sister-in-law will definitely complain when she finds out.
"Hurry up and tell me, or I really won't help you." Xiao Ke took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Hao the Cripple immediately lit a cigarette for Xiao Ke. It wasn't a big deal. Damn it, he had been playing mahjong for three days and lost more than 20,000 yuan. Losing money was not the problem, but he couldn't swallow his anger. He wanted to ask Brother Ke to help him get it back.
Back then, people didn't just gamble in casinos; sometimes they would organize their own small games and play secretly at home. These small games might seem small in number, but the rules were all set by themselves, and the stakes were often quite high. This was the kind of game that Hao the Cripple played.
"Damn it, I have a casino here and you don't play, you run around showing off outside, and got scammed, didn't you?" Xiao Ke said, taking a drag on his cigarette.
"Who knows? I don't know how to play it safe either. Brother Ke, we agreed to continue tomorrow. Go help me win it back, and all the money you win is yours. I just want to get my revenge," said Hao the Cripple.
I don't need your paltry sum. Here's what we'll do: come and call me tomorrow, and I'll go see what's going on. Xiao Ke is a proud man; he usually agrees to help his brothers when they need something.
The next day, Hao the Cripple brought Ma Dianlong to Xiao Ke's casino, and Xiao Ke brought Zhang Guangyue, the Tiger, and together they headed to Hao the Cripple's small office.
People like Xiao Ke, who are there to gamble and win money, usually need to bring a subordinate to look after them in case something unexpected happens. But Xiao Ke brought along Zhang Guangyue, that bastard, so he himself was an accident.
Before long, the group of four arrived at the police station, which was a secluded little bungalow. Several people were already sitting inside, waiting for Hao the Cripple to arrive.
"Brother Hao, what took you so long? We've all been waiting for you!" a young man in his twenties called out.
At first glance, Xiao Ke saw that the young man was handsome and tall, thin, with medium-length hair and a high nose. Although he had small single eyelids, his eyes were bright and piercing, exuding a fierce spirit.
The young man who spoke was none other than Li Zhengguang, a formidable figure and Qiao Si's number one henchman.
Li Zhengguang was also a gambler. After joining the demolition team with Qiao Si, he was always the first to rush in whenever something happened. He was daring and hardworking, and he was highly regarded by Tiger.
After each job was finished, Tiger gave Qiao Si, Li Zhengguang, and Yao Yifei the most money because the three of them had put in the most effort. However, Tiger was rather stingy. Although he gave Qiao Si and the others the most, it was still a small portion. Tiger took the lion's share, and the rest of the people received even less.
Several times while drinking, Qiao Si and the others jokingly mentioned to Tiger that they should give him more money, and Tiger always agreed readily. But when it came time to work, he was still the same old jerk, his penis hadn't grown at all.
This is just like some leaders nowadays. They'll promise you all sorts of things, talk a big game, and make you work like crazy, but when it's time to actually benefit, they give the money to someone else.
They'll shamelessly tell you they'll definitely give you something next time, but next time, and the time after that, they still won't give you anything. What's the point of working for them then? Just shut up and give them the cold shoulder.
Qiao Si, Li Zhengguang, and Yao Yifei are examples of this. Every time Tiger drinks with them, he promises to give them a good drink, but in the end, he still only gives them a little bit. So they simply give up and collectively take sick leave.
In the past few days, Qiao Si and the others have been claiming illness and not going to Tiger's place. These three guys really know how to enjoy themselves. Qiao Si and Yao Yifei spend all their time getting massages at hair salons, while Li Zhengguang spends all his time gambling at the police station.
Although Li Zhengguang didn't graduate from university, he was very smart. He could remember the cards when playing mahjong. Hao Quezi and his gang were like idiots in front of Li Zhengguang. Winning money from them was as easy as playing a game.
In the past three days, Hao the Cripple lost more than 20,000 yuan, while Li Zhengguang won at least 15,000 yuan. Having tasted the sweetness of victory, how could he not come early to wait for Hao the Cripple, this lamb?
"Ah, something came up and I was held up. It's such a rush. Um, I've been having such bad luck these past few days. Today, my friend is playing a couple of rounds for me to try and improve my luck," Hao the Cripple said to the others.
Li Zhengguang glanced at Xiao Ke, who was short, with medium-length hair and a cigarette in his mouth. Although he was young, he looked mature beyond his years and confident.
"Hey, come on, let's play the same big game as yesterday?" Li Zhengguang thought to himself, "You can change whoever you want, as long as the money's there."
"How much did you play yesterday?" Xiao Ke asked as he sat down.
"One hundred? Dare to play?" Li Zhengguang asked, glaring at Xiao Ke.
Damn, there's nothing to be afraid of, come on~ In Xiao Ke's eyes, this little bureau is nothing, he's a casino owner, he's seen all kinds of big scenes.
Hao the Cripple slammed ten thousand yuan on Xiao Ke's table and said, "Come on, brother, go ahead and play. I have the money."
When Li Zhengguang and the other two people at the card table saw Hao the Cripple's 10,000 yuan, they exchanged glances and secretly laughed to themselves, thinking that someone was going to pay them wages again today.
Next, how will the God of Gamblers, Xiao Ke, deal with Li Zhengguang and his gang? Will he be able to win back all the money that Hao the Cripple lost? Stay tuned for the next episode.
