chapter-51
Jingmen Island, at top floor Presidential Suite.
The moment Tang Xiu hung up the phone, a middle-aged man standing next to the window fell down with a pale complexion.
At the next moment, the middle-aged man turned as he fiercely slapped a young man at his side.
The youngster, who looked at the middle-aged man with an anticipating expression, didn’t guard against the anger from the middle-aged man. So he got slapped directly and fell to the floor.
“Eldest Senior Brother… y-y-you… why do you hit me?” Zhang Tiechun stared at Gong Dalong with a puzzled expression.Jia Ruidao only received 3 apprentices in his whole life. Respectively, they were the Eldest Apprentice Gong Dalong, the 2nd Apprentice Zhang Tiechun, and the 3rd Apprentice Jia Yelei.
Jia Yelei was Jia Ruidao’s son and also his successor.
The 3 brothers had a good relationship. They supported and cared for each other, and were just like blood brothers. Their good relationship was even well known throughout the Shuangqing Province.
The only minor defect to the otherwise perfect brotherhood, was that Jia Yelei loved vanity and glory. His extreme impulsive nature made Gong Dalong and Zhang Tiechun often clean up his mess, even Jia Ruidao also had to do the same.
The reason Jia Ruidao had to rush to Jingmen Island was because Jia Yelei lost a gambling bet very miserably. He even lost his temper after he lost, using his father’s reputation and provoked big trouble.
Jia Ruidao’s reputation might be useful in the Shuangqing Province, but not in other places of the country. Much less Jingmen Island, a place with quite a strong anti-foreigner sentiment. Not only was Jia Yelei unable to deter others with his father’s name, but he also suffered an even more humiliating treatment.
In just 3 days, under the taunts of the opponent, the rash and impatient Jia Yelei was hooked and lost 100 million. When Jia Yelei finally realized the problem, he called his 2nd Senior Brother—Zhang Tiechun.Zhang Tiechun had mastered most of Jia Ruidao’s gambling techniques. He also doted on Jia Yelei and rushed to Jingmen Island. Without even reprimanding or asking of Jia Yelei’s problem, he leaped into the opponent’s traps and then lost another 50 million.
“Why did I hit you? Right now, you’re still asking why I hit you? Master’s wife’s last will for us was to look after this little guy. But you fucked that up! You didn’t fucking care that he went to gamble on Jingmen Island for half a month. You knew nothing about the circumstances and didn’t tell Master or me when he called you for help. You even played dumb with little brother.”
“Zhang Tiechun, do you realize that if Master is doomed this time, what kind of situation we have to face, hah? Not only would we be bankrupt, but our reputation in Shuangqing Province will also be ruined. You also know Master’s personality, do you think Master would still want to live afterward?”
Gong Dalong almost roared at Zhang Tiechun.
“T-Tang Xiu… H-he doesn’t want to help us?” Zhang Tiechun no longer argued as he asked with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know whether Tang Xiu’s gambling skills are good or not. But he perfectly knew that this water is too deep. He admitted that his gambling skills are not that good and is unable to help. He simply hung the phone up without even giving me the opportunity to speak.” Having heard it, Gong Dalong’s complexion turned dim as he sighed in desperation.
“T-this… How could Tang Xiu be like this… for gamblers like us, once we thrive, we thrive gloriously, but once we lose, we lose completely. Not only would that affect our master and disciples’ reputation, but also the entire Shuangqing Province’s reputation. He doesn’t have any consideration about that…” Zhang Tiechun replied with a pale expression.
