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

That evening, through a friend's introduction, a boss surnamed Wang wanted Xiao Ke to organize a game. Xiao Ke then contacted three other big bosses, and the four of them formed a group and got to play.

When organizing a private gathering like this, Xiao Ke usually sends two underlings to guard the place, one to serve inside and the other to keep watch outside.

For safety reasons, they use a secret signal when knocking on doors. They knock twice, once with their thumb and forefinger, followed by two short knocks, before the door will open. Otherwise, no one can open the door.

That night, four big bosses were playing Texas Hold'em, with a minimum bet of 500 yuan per round and no upper limit. The boss surnamed Wang had drunk some alcohol and was a bit tipsy, so he called no matter what hand he was dealt.

Following that, Boss Wang put in 20,000 yuan. Once people sit at the gambling table, they can't control themselves. If they lose, they try to win it back.

Perhaps Mr. Wang was unlucky that day, or perhaps he had drunk too much alcohol. The more he tried to win back his losses, the more he lost, and he had already sent money over twice.

Looking at the mere ten thousand yuan left on his table, Boss Wang sobered up, sweat beading on his forehead. Now, three parties had won, and he was the only one who had lost.

If Boss Wang loses more than 20 yuan, that's the advance payment for signing the contract tomorrow. If the contract isn't signed, he could go bankrupt.

"Damn it, did I get myself arrested? Are these three bastards messing with me?" This thought suddenly popped into Boss Wang's head.

After having this idea, the more Boss Wang looked at the other three people, the more he felt that they were in cahoots to win his money.

Damn it, you dare mess with me? I'll show you what I'm capable of. This Boss Wang is no pushover either. On the surface, he's a big boss, but secretly he's a gunman from another province, and he's involved in the underworld too.

Damn, I touched a slut today. My ideas are terrible. I'm going to the bathroom to relax and maybe come up with some new ideas. Boss Wang got up and pretended to go to the bathroom.

While pretending to go to the restroom, Boss Wang secretly gave his subordinate a few instructions, and the subordinate then left the room under the pretext of having company business.

Boss Wang pretended to have finished using the toilet, then came back and sat down to continue playing. About half an hour later, three people wearing black hoods and black clothes, carrying hunting rifles, came from a distance.

To avoid attracting attention, the three men rode bicycles and carried tennis bags, but instead of tennis rackets, they carried hunting rifles.

When Xiao Ke's lookout saw three people riding bicycles over, he assumed they were just some street thugs wandering around late at night and didn't pay them much attention. They were mainly wary of the hats and didn't care much about the others.

To everyone's surprise, the three men went straight for Xiao Ke's underling. After they jumped off their bicycles, Xiao Ke's underling noticed that the three men were wearing black hoods.

Just as Xiao Ke's underlings were about to draw the dagger from his waist, someone pulled out a shotgun and held it to his head, saying, "Don't move, or I'll kill you."

Little Ke's henchman froze instantly. Dude, you must have mistaken me for someone else.

"Damn it, we've been looking for you for ages! Go upstairs and knock on the door!" the man with the gun shouted.

"Knocking on the door? What are you knocking on, buddy? You must have mistaken me for someone else, right?" Little Ke's underling continued to play dumb.

"Go to hell, you trying to act tough with me? I'll teach you to act tough, teach you to act tough!" The man said, while smashing Little K's underling's head with the butt of his gun.

Xiao Ke's lookout was hit so hard he saw stars and almost passed out.

After that guy finished shooting, he shoved the dark muzzle of his gun into the man's mouth. "Damn it, you think I don't know you're keeping watch? Are you coming or not? If you don't, I'll kill you."

Xiao Ke's underlings were terrified and had no choice but to obey, leading the three men upstairs.

Little Ke's henchman knocked on the door with a code. Little Ke's henchman inside opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, three men in black rushed in with triple shotguns.

One man pointed a gun at the head of one of Little K's henchmen, while another pointed a shotgun at the four bosses at the table. "Don't the hell move, it's a robbery!"

Then the man threw a black bag on the table and said, "Put money in it for me, hurry up."

The four big bosses were all terrified and looked completely bewildered. They never expected to encounter a robbery in the trap set by Xiao Ke.

The bosses were all men who valued their lives. Seeing that the man had a real gun, they all obediently stuffed the money on the table into their bags, especially the one surnamed Wang, who stuffed it the fastest and most aggressively.

"Damn it, hurry up, or I'll kill you all!" the man with the gun urged.

In less than a minute, all the cash on the table was put into a bag. Seeing this, the three men in black picked up the bag containing the money and slowly walked out of the house.

"Listen up, all of you. Come out in 10 minutes. Anyone who dares to come out first, I'll shoot him!" the last man in black shouted before closing the door.

None of the six people in the room dared to move. After 10 minutes, Xiao Ke's two henchmen cautiously opened the door a crack and saw that the three men had already run away.

"You stay here and keep watch, I'll go tell Brother Ke." One of Little Ke's henchmen said and rushed out, while another henchman continued to guard the bosses inside the room.

Xiao Ke's henchman rushed to the casino and barged into the office without knocking. At that time, Xiao Ke, Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang were still there.

"Big brother, big brother, something terrible has happened! Our police station has just been robbed!" the underling shouted breathlessly.

What?! Xiao Ke and his three musketeers stood up at the same time. They couldn't believe that anyone in Ice City would dare to mess with their police station.

Without wasting a moment, Xiao Ke and his men followed the henchman back to the illegal gambling den he had set up. The four bosses were still sitting in their chairs, seemingly still recovering from the shock they had just experienced.

"Dear bosses, I'm so sorry, so sorry. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this. How much did each of you lose?" Xiao Ke began to comfort his clients as soon as he entered the room.

I didn't count it carefully, but including my winnings and losses, I should have over 12.

I should have over 14.

I should have over 16.

"Ah, I lost quite a lot, I still have over 5 left," said Mr. Wang at the end.

"Cousin, you've noted everything down. Tomorrow I'll make up the difference in your money. Guangyue, Qinggang, make sure all four bosses get home safely, not a single hair on their heads." Xiao Ke instructed.

After hearing Xiao Ke's instructions, Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang led their men to take the four bosses to their respective homes.

Xiao Ke turned around and looked at his beaten underling, whose mouth was covered in blood. "Should we take him to the hospital?" Xiao Ke asked.

"Big...brother, no need, no need. It was our fault for not guarding the place properly, and they robbed us. We're willing to accept the punishment," said Xiao Ke's underling.

"This isn't your fault. Tell me the details," Xiao Ke asked.

Next, will Xiao Ke and his friends be able to find out who robbed them? And what will Xiao Ke do? Stay tuned for the next episode.
