"Is he here to snatch the Dragon King's position?"
Tang Yu clicked his tongue twice. The way the plot was developing was naturally a good thing for him.
Dog-eat-dog, after all.
But knowing this guy was going to take over Suzhou and Hangzhou, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
If he wanted to take over Suzhou and Hangzhou, Tang Yu would definitely be his prime target.
And this guy operated similarly to Ye Chen; they were both taught by the same master.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Yu looked at the four people and said, "From now on, you four focus on infiltrating his side. Report to me immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, Young Master Tang!" the four replied in unison.
"And you can subtly hinder him in the meantime. Once he fails to accomplish anything, suggest to him that it would be better to join forces with me against Ye Chen. Got it?"
"Got it!"
"Alright, keep in touch."
Satisfied, Tang Yu left the meeting room.
Assigning four snitches to the opponent at once, this move was definitely solid!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It's better to pull him over than to deal with two Dragon Kings at once.
After Tang Yu left the meeting room, the four members of the Reaper Squad exchanged glances.
The leader, Deng Hei, spoke up. "From today on, we need to turn over a new leaf and work hard for Young Master Tang."
"But who is Young Master Tang? How could Lu Junzhuo even think of allying with him?"
"We four brothers must work together. Whether it's Lu Junzhuo or Ye Chen, we must clear the way for Young Master Tang!"
"Otherwise, how could we have the face to follow Young Master Tang to the club?"
"Brothers, are you with me?"
"Yes!"
...
Just as he walked out of the detention center, Tang Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
Bai Wanyi walked over from behind, holding a motorcycle helmet.
"I have my own car."
"We're just going to a roadside barbecue. Why show off with your fancy car? I'll drop you off afterward; I still have work to finish."
Bai Wanyi rolled her eyes.
She was used to living a low-key life. This guy driving a multimillion-dollar sports car to a roadside snack would make them look like a spectacle.
"Alright."
Tang Yu put on the helmet and got on the motorcycle with her.
"Hold on tight."
As soon as Tang Yu got on, Bai Wanyi revved the engine and immediately felt his hands wrap around her from behind.
Moreover, his hands were a bit high.
If they were standing at the bow of a ship, it would be like the Titanic scene.
"Where are your hands?"
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
She quickly released the throttle and asked through gritted teeth.
"Didn't they say a woman's waist shouldn't be touched casually?"
Tang Yu replied innocently.
【I was afraid you'd say I was taking advantage of you by holding your waist, so I moved my hands up a bit.】
【I didn't even move them all the way up, just to the middle. Why is she so worked up?】
"Are you looking for trouble?"
Bai Wanyi clenched her fists and glared at Tang Yu.
Can't touch the waist, so you touch somewhere else?
"Fine, I'll hold your waist, but don't say I'm taking advantage of you."
Tang Yu muttered as he moved his hands down a bit.
【Hmm, she's got some substance, and her waist is quite slim.】
【Aside from her bad temper, everything else is pretty good.】
"…"
Bai Wanyi suddenly regretted letting this guy on her bike.
Fortunately, the barbecue stall was only three streets away, and they arrived within minutes.
After parking the bike at the stall, she habitually did a sweeping kick to get off.
Tang Yu, who was about to get off, was swept to the ground by her kick.
Sitting on the ground, Tang Yu said with a dark face, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"No, no, I'm just used to riding alone. This is the first time I've taken someone."
Bai Wanyi laughed heartily and helped Tang Yu up from the ground.
Tang Yu rubbed his butt and grimaced, but he let it go.
After entering the stall, Bai Wanyi handed Tang Yu a plastic basket for picking food.
"Take whatever you want to eat. I come here often. Their grilled taro slices and grilled dumplings are pretty good. You should try them."
"I'm going to pick the expensive stuff and eat you broke."
"Fine, you look like you have kidney deficiency anyway. Take a few more skewers of grilled kidneys."
"…"
After ordering a bunch of barbecue and a few bottles of beer, the steaming hot food was soon served.
Bai Wanyi clinked her beer bottle with Tang Yu's and started eating intently.
At this moment, across the street, a black car was parked by the roadside.
The man in the driver's seat was staring intently at Bai Wanyi and Tang Yu through the car window.
After watching for a while, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of the two, sending it out.
Meanwhile, in an underground casino.
Lu Junzhuo was sitting in a private room, gambling with two casino dealers.
They were playing poker, and both dealers were top-notch cardsharps.
But at this moment, they were sweating profusely from continuous losses.
They had lost fifteen rounds in a row.
"Young Master Lu, your skills are truly impressive."
A middle-aged man beside Lu Junzhuo complimented him.
The middle-aged man had only one arm, with the other sleeve hanging empty, making him quite noticeable.
He was Zhu Shaohui, the owner of the casino and a big shot in Suzhou and Hangzhou's underground world.
Given his status, he shouldn't have to be so polite to a young man.
But the young man before him was terrifying.
This man had come to him, asking him to be his dog.
He had refused, only to watch helplessly as this man single-handedly took down over forty of his subordinates with ease.
This man was invincible!
He had even promised that if he became his dog, he would make him his representative in Suzhou and Hangzhou's underground world!
"It's just a trivial skill. Cheating is nothing more than quick hands and some small tricks. It's boring."
Lu Junzhuo tossed the three cards in his hand.
The three cards pierced into the table simultaneously.
Seeing this, everyone present was even more in awe of Young Master Lu.
At this moment, Lu Junzhuo's phone vibrated twice.
He glanced at his phone and saw the photo sent by his subordinate.
Upon seeing the man in the photo, Lu Junzhuo frowned slightly.
Isn't that the rich second-generation from the Tang Family?
Rumor had it that Ye Chen had lost to this loser over a woman?
Why is he with Bai Wanyi now?
After arriving in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the first woman he had his eyes on was Bai Wanyi.
Her identity was quite special. Conquering her early on would be a great help to him.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Junzhuo sneered.
"Perfect, I'll lure them in and take them all out."
He sent a text message from his phone.
...
Bai Wanyi was engrossed in her meal when her phone on the table suddenly rang.
She glanced at her phone and saw a text message.
"Emperor Water Hotel, basement level 2, underground casino..."
Bai Wanyi read it twice, and her expression changed.
She had recently been investigating two loan shark cases and had traced them to an underground casino but hadn't found the exact location.
Seeing this address, she instantly lost her appetite and called out to the owner.
"Boss, how much is it?"
"Exactly one hundred and twenty."
"Alright."
Bai Wanyi took out her phone and scanned to pay.
"You're not eating anymore?"
Seeing Bai Wanyi looking anxious, Tang Yu, who was dealing with the grilled kidneys, looked up and asked.
"I need to investigate a casino. You eat, I'm leaving."
Bai Wanyi said and turned to leave.
Tang Yu choked for a moment, recalling the plot.
In the original story, Bai Wanyi received a text message while eating dinner, reporting an underground casino.
She happened to be investigating this casino and decided to go undercover alone after getting the address.
This undercover operation led to a big incident. Her identity was exposed, and she was captured by the casino people.
If Dragon King Ye Chen hadn't appeared, she would have ended up in a dire situation.
After this plot, her favorability towards Ye Chen increased significantly, and she was almost completely won over.
But the key point was, Ye Chen wasn't here now.
If he didn't intervene, wouldn't she be a goner?
Or would the plot collapse and change?
"System, what's going on with this plot?"
Tang Yu asked in his mind.
The system didn't respond, making Tang Yu a bit annoyed.
After the plot collapsed, he often had to figure things out on his own.
Helpless, he got up and chased after her, saying, "I'll go with you."
"You'll go with me?"
Bai Wanyi looked at Tang Yu with a strange expression.
"Yeah, I'll assist you in the investigation. I know these places better than you."
Tang Yu nodded.
【Nonsense, if I don't go with you, you'll be a goner.】
【The casino is a big trap. The one who sent you the text should be Ye Chen.】
【He lures you to the casino, you get into trouble, and then he saves you to gain favor.】
【But Ye Chen is no longer here. Who set this trap?】
Hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts, Bai Wanyi was deeply shaken.
This guy, he knows again?
Recalling the clues she had gotten from Tang Yu last time, she hesitated for a moment but decided to go.
She just needed to be careful, do the undercover work, and then set up a net to catch them.
So she nodded and said, "Alright, let's go together."
Tang Yu quickly got on the motorcycle with her, feeling puzzled.
He realized that even without Dragon King Ye Chen, some plots would still proceed normally.
But who sent this text?
Originally, this trap should have been set by Ye Chen.
With him gone, did someone else set it?
Tang Yu immediately thought of Lu Junzhuo, who was taking over Suzhou and Hangzhou in place of Dragon King Ye Chen.
【Let's go there first. Just make sure Bai Wanyi is safe.】
【Once we get to the casino, the one who set the trap will show up. We'll know then if it's Ye Chen or Lu Junzhuo.】
Riding the motorcycle, Bai Wanyi silently listened to Tang Yu's inner thoughts, feeling a bit grateful.
This guy, he does care about me.
As for the name Lu Junzhuo, she also remembered it clearly.
Setting a trap for her?
He better not let her find out, or he'd be in big trouble.
It took only twenty minutes to ride from here to Emperor Water Hotel.
After arriving at the hotel entrance, she habitually did a sweeping kick to get off.
Tang Yu, who was swept to the ground again, looked at her speechlessly.
"(`⌒′メ)!"
"∑( ̄□ ̄;) This time it really wasn't on purpose."
"So it was on purpose last time?"
Bai Wanyi chuckled dryly and skillfully helped Tang Yu up.
After entering the hotel, they took the elevator to the basement level 2.
