Chapter 182: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
At the same time, on the outskirts of the city, on a road with no village or shop nearby.
A car stopped in the middle of the road, the headlights illuminated the road ahead, and the sharp iron nails on the ground were extremely eye-catching.
Lu Shaojie got out of the car angrily and kicked the tire:
"What bad luck! It didn't break down earlier or later, but it broke down in this shabby place."
The driver and adjutant next to him was looking at the big iron nails on the tire with a flashlight, but he didn't dare to say anything, saying that it might be man-made.
Lu Shaojie was very anxious. He received a call from 181 during the day and rushed back from his hometown in Hangzhou.
With only dozens of kilometers to go before entering the city, the car broke down.
I don't know if that idiot Zeng Si can still wait for him. Otherwise, if he doesn't arrive yet, that slutty vixen Sister Yu will be replaced by someone else.
But when he thought about it carefully, in the whole of Shanghai, except for him, Lu Shaojie, who else dared to compete with Mr. Zeng Si?
Besides, only he can make this gambling game seem legitimate.
"Lao Hong, this won't work. Go to the city now and send a car to pick me up."
"Yes, Marshal."
Lao Hong was the adjutant who followed him at the racecourse last time. After hearing the salute, he ran forward.
Lu Shaojie looked in the direction where Lao Hong was going. As he ran away, the flashlight flickered and his eyes dimmed.
The last incident was indeed something my father had someone do, but if it weren't for the two-faced people around him, how would my father know about it.
So when his father looked at the severed hands and got furious, he actually felt a little relieved in his heart.
He had said long ago that behind the flourishing foreign lands lies a turbulent situation.
Just because you have an army and guns doesn't mean you can be brutal.
All the countries have their weapons here. Britain, France, the United States and Japan are not strong enough. Who wouldn't want to dominate?
The Green Gang, the Axe Gang and the Hongmen each had tens of thousands of members, and there were countless dance halls, shopping malls and opium dens supported by various forces.
In such a place where good and bad people mix together and restrain each other, if you act recklessly, you will only become the first one to stick out.
No one wants to upset the current balance, especially by force.
While smoking, Lu Shaojie thought of Uncle Zeng Bao's slightly oppressive and contemptuous look, and felt annoyed.
The old man from the Zeng family really did have a trick up his sleeve.
Zeng Si, that stupid guy, really thinks he is his father's eldest son. He is arrogant and domineering all day long, and is a spendthrift. . .
Thinking of Uncle Zeng Bao, Lu Shaojie threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it hard.
This man actually had his father's old enemy deliver a severed hand to him personally. The mocking tone in his words made my father's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Even a man as hot-tempered as my father only lost his temper after his old enemy left, cursed his mother a few times, and finally let his adjutant send him to the water. . .
He even told him to avoid offending Uncle Zeng Bao, the evil star.
He was speechless. He had no intention of causing trouble in the first place. It was his father who was doing something unnecessary.
However, because it was his fault and he ruined the family's wealth, he kept his mouth shut and dared not say anything.
It was a chilly early autumn night and he sneezed several times, preparing to open the car door and get in to keep warm.
I found that the car door could not be opened.
Lu Shaojie was furious. He pulled hard several times but to no avail, and cursed Lao Hong in his heart for his crude work.
He angrily bent down to look for the stone in the light of the car lights.
After taking two steps, he felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot. He screamed and jumped back. Then he screamed again and fell to the ground.
"Ahhhh!"
In the wilderness, Lu Shaojie's cruel voice was really creepy.
The birds that were sleeping with their eyes closed in the trees were startled and flapped their wings to fly away from this damn place.
----------
In the casino, Lu Pingsheng went to find Zeng Baoyi.
Wei Miao called a waitress and asked her to take him to the place to eat.
The waiter saw how he was dressed and knew that he might be a young master brought by someone, so he did not dare to neglect him.
Wei Miao smelled the aroma of the food and felt happy.
She had planned it long ago, to eat the main dishes first, such as the ten famous dishes of the palace.
The braised shark's fin is stewed for twelve hours with old hens, ducks and soaked shark's fins. It is bright apricot yellow and has a mellow flavor. Your tongue will fall off after one bite.
You must first serve five portions as a base.
Roasted deer tendons are made by stewing the elastic tendons of sika deer with radish and apple. The meat is soft and has no fishy smell, and the soup is bright, sweet and goes well with rice.
Try the next eight servings.
The cherry flesh has a soft and tender texture and a rosy color.
The stir-fried phoenix tongue, known as the ginseng from heaven, is made from the tongue of the Java sparrow. Wei Miao felt that if he ate too much, he would lose control of his mouth, so he just tried a small plate.
Pork tenderloin, braised duck, birds paying homage to the phoenix, chicken jumping, and meat of great fortune...
After all, if it was on the menu, Wei Miao would try it. If he liked something, he would eat more; if he didn’t like something, he would eat less.
Many people buy 200 chips not for gambling, but for enjoyment.
For example, if you love smoking opium, you can spend 200 dollars to smoke to your heart's content, then take a bath together. If you have the chance, you can also meet celebrities whom you would never meet before. Isn't that a good deal?
The dishes here are exquisite and of high quality. It was dinner time, and there were many people eating in the dining room. Apart from a few people who noticed Wei Miao, no one paid any attention to her.
Wei Miao ate from beginning to end, and the reception staff and the kitchen were busy as hell.
Sister Yu, who was chatting with someone, was slightly surprised for a moment when she heard the report from the people below.
"Is there any Ah Wu I can eat?"
The people below thought about how Ah Wu, who was more than two meters tall, could eat up all the leftover food every day and seemed to be never full, and shook their heads.
Sister Yu chuckled and said indifferently:
"Then let her eat as she pleases. How much can a half-grown cub eat?"
After the subordinate respectfully replied "yes" and was about to leave, Sister Yu suddenly called him.
"What is Mr. Lu who came with her doing?"
The waiter said, "He has been sitting next to Mr. Zeng's gambling table."
"No bets?" Sister Yu asked.
"No."
Sister Yu raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, her eyes flickering as she said:
"Okay! Since Master Lu is not here today, let Master Lu and Master Zeng face off. The food in our 181 is not so delicious."
The waiter agreed calmly and turned around to make arrangements.
Zeng Baoyi took the slender hand of the charming woman beside him, put his mouth on the large rouge-covered cigarette holder, took a puff, and felt ecstatic.
The people beside him started to make a noise, "Master Zeng, are you betting big or small?"
"Leopard!"
Zeng Baoyi half-closed his eyes and spoke without even looking.
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter next to him placed the pile of chips in front of him in the middle.
At this time, Lu Pingsheng believed the waiter's words. This man really came here to kill time.
He felt quite emotional. Mr. Zeng Xingsheng was a wise and shrewd man all his life, but he raised such a prodigal son.
She helped him marry a wife from a wealthy and prominent family, relieved him of his worries, and even made him feel that the wealth he had accumulated could last him a lifetime even if he was extravagant.
But what about this one?
It's only been two years and already it's been completely defeated.
Lu Pingsheng couldn't help but think of what an elder he respected said:
If my descendants are like me, what’s the point of leaving them money?
If my descendants are not as good as me, what’s the point of leaving money for them?
