Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng asked.

"Of course we should fight back."

Yuan Bao'er said without hesitation.

Metropolis is a dog-eat-dog world, especially outside the city.

She just suffered a great loss, and if she doesn't retaliate, people will definitely think she's finished.

At that point, not only the mastermind behind it all, but even people unrelated to this matter will want a piece of the pie.

Even the staff at the Gaga Soo Bathhouse themselves might have some inappropriate thoughts.

Therefore, the weaker the animal, the more ruthless you should be when you strike.

Just like those stray cats, the more timid and weak a cat is, the more likely it is to adopt an aggressive posture.

"But without identifying the mastermind, how can we retaliate?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"That's alright, the bathhouse has surveillance cameras."

Yuan Bao'er spoke while operating the computer.

She quickly projected the surveillance footage onto the opposite wall.

The scenes that had just happened replayed in Liu Zheng's mind, and when he got to the scene of him detoxing, his face twitched involuntarily.

Fortunately, Yuan Bao'er and the Nile doctor pretended not to see it.

"Does Mr. Liu and Dr. Nile know these people?"

Yuan Bao'er asked.

"do not know."

Liu Zheng and the Nile River doctor both shook their heads.

"Well, then we'll have to ask that person for help."

Yuan Bao'er picked up the walkie-talkie beside her.

"Uncle Liu, I've run into a problem and need your help."

She said it respectfully.

"Okay, boss."

An old male voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Soon, there was a knock on the office door, even though it wasn't closed.

"Please come in."

Yuan Bao'er said.

"Boss, you're looking for me."

An old man wearing a white linen short jacket and with a white towel wrapped around his head walked in.

"Uncle Liu, you are my elder, why bother with this?"

Yuan Bao'er said helplessly.

"Propriety cannot be disregarded. You are the boss, and I am the employee. The employee should act like the boss."

Uncle Liu shook his head.

"Alright, Uncle Liu, whatever makes you happy."

"Boss, are you injured?"

Uncle Liu noticed her unusual behavior.

“That bastard Zhen Xinzhai helped outsiders to frame me. If it weren’t for this General Manager Liu and this Nile Doctor saving me, you wouldn’t be seeing me now.”

Yuan Bao'er's voice carried a hint of grievance.

"I told you from the beginning that that guy was unreliable, but you were bewitched and insisted on marrying him, ignoring all advice. Now you know you can't judge a book by its cover, right?"

Uncle Liu said loudly.

"Huh? Judging by appearance?"

Liu Zheng and the Nile River doctor looked like old people using their phones on the subway.

Although Zhen Xinzhai wasn't exactly ugly, he was still a long way from being handsome.

"That bastard was quite handsome when he was young."

Yuan Bao'er explained somewhat awkwardly.

"How handsome is he?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"This is our wedding photo."

Yuan Bao'er took a photo frame out of the drawer.

In the photo frame, Yuan Bao'er smiles radiantly, nestled in the arms of a handsome man who looks like a combination of Jiao Enjun and Yan Kuan; they are a perfect match of wealth and good looks.

"Is this Zhen Xinzhai?"

Liu Zheng and the Nile River doctor stared wide-eyed.

"It was him. At that time, he was still very thin."

Yuan Bao'er said with a touch of nostalgia.

"Even if you're fat, you shouldn't be so fat that you can't even make out your facial features, right?"

“His family has a genetic defect that causes their body shape and facial features to become deformed after the age of forty, and even cosmetic surgery and magic cannot fix it. I only found out about this after I married him.”

Yuan Bao'er said.

"Isn't that just pure marriage fraud?"

Liu Zhengyi said indignantly.

"He never intended to marry me. I got him drunk and dragged him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register. I guess I brought this on myself."

Yuan Bao'er shook her head and said.

"Alright, stop looking so disheartened. He's just a man, you can just throw him away. With such a large family fortune, you can find any kind of man you want."

Uncle Liu scolded.

"Uncle Liu is right, Uncle Liu is still the best to me."

Yuan Bao'er went from tears to laughter, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry.

When her parents died in an accident, they entrusted her to their old housekeeper, Uncle Liu, before they passed away.

From a young age, Uncle Liu was a combination of a strict father and a loving mother to her.

It wasn't until he was seriously injured and had to retire that he gradually drifted apart from her.

However, seeing her like this now, Uncle Liu once again took on the role of a parent.

Who is behind this?

he asked.

He knew Zhen Xinzhai even better than Yuan Bao'er, and knew that the kid was definitely not capable of causing such a big problem on his own.

“I was just about to ask Uncle Liu for help. Look, those are the people who came here with Zhen Xinzhai to cause trouble.”

Yuan Bao'er pointed to the projection on the wall and said.

"A red-skinned devil, a lecherous drunkard. Ah, so he's a little devil from Mount Oe."

Uncle Liu examined it for a moment and then drew a conclusion.

Chapter 370 Liu Zheng: I think President Yuan is still quite charming.

"Dajiangshan?"

"Dajiangshan?"

Liu Zheng and Yuan Bao'er both raised questions at the same time.

The former didn't know what Mount Ooe was, while the latter didn't know why Mount Ooe would get involved in the Gaga Soo Bathhouse.

"Mount Ooe is a demonic force, led by the demon king Shuten-dōji and his strategist Ibaraki-dōji, as well as his four demon kings Kuma-dōji, Kin-kuma-dōji, Hoshi-kuma-dōji, and Tora-kuma-dōji, and a bunch of lesser demons."

"They used to run bathhouses in the city, mainly selling sex. Later, they offended a big shot and were driven out of the city."

"Oeyama also wanted to take over a piece of territory in the bathhouse, but he lost a lot of his elite troops when he left the city, so he was driven back by Granny Tang."

Uncle Liu said.

"Your grandfather learned about this back then, which is why he decided to come to the bathhouse area. But he learned from the lesson of Mount Oe, so before he died, he told your father that he should never act rashly without sufficient preparation."

"No wonder my dad kept saying before he died, 'It's not enough, it's not enough.'"

Yuan Bao'er suddenly realized.

"Actually, if your father hadn't died, he would have accumulated enough by now. What a pity, what a pity. But you are still successful, fulfilling the wishes of three generations of your family."

Uncle Liu said with great satisfaction.

"Uncle Liu, do you know where the people from Mount Dajiang are now?"

Yuan Bao'er asked.

"this one"

Uncle Liu looked at Liu Zheng and hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Liu is one of us, so please feel free to speak your mind, Uncle Liu."

Yuan Bao'er said without hesitation.

While it's possible that Liu Zheng's rescue of her was also a trap, at least he's now her savior and a powerful ally.

In a time of crisis, pushing away life-saving aid is like having too much of a life on your hands.

"Okay, I heard it from the coal delivery guy. The people from Oeyama have fenced off a small mountain in the Ten Thousand Mountains and are doing a business of raising humans."

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The Ten Thousand Mountains? They actually dare to claim territory there. Aren't they afraid of being turned into food for the Gu worms?"

Yuan Bao'er asked in surprise.

“Those barbarians aren’t crazy, nor do they feed people to their worms. If they were, they would have been wiped out by those great demon kings long ago.”

Uncle Liu shook his head.

"Moreover, I heard that the monsters of Mount Ooe acquired the mountain from those savages by using a treasure they bought on the black market. As for whether they rented or bought it, I'm not sure."

"The Ten Thousand Mountains, this is going to be a bit tricky."

Yuan Bao'er said with a headache.

If we consider the city as the urban area of ​​a metropolis, then Bath Street is in the suburbs of the metropolis.

The Ten Thousand Mountains are already close to the border.

Indeed, there are rumors that there is a passage in the Ten Thousand Mountains leading to the outside world of the metropolis.

Of course, most people who know about this rumor believe it is just a rumor.

The city hall might turn a blind eye to other matters, but when it comes to border-related issues, it will absolutely not let the guilty go unpunished.

In places that are close to the edge of the city hall's power, the local customs are naturally quite primitive.

While those savages aren't too difficult to deal with if they're not there to seize territory, there are many ancient species in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that lack even basic intelligence, and encountering those would be a real problem.

"beat!"

After her expression changed several times, Yuan Bao'er gritted her teeth and said.

When faced with a problem, you need to be both steady and ruthless.
