Chapter Thirty-Five: Resource Utilization!

  "Huh?"

  Liu Chunsheng was taken aback, knowing that Chen Dasheng was referring to his injured right hand. He hastily forced a smile and said, "Dasheng, you're really good at joking! My hand is almost fully recovered now. Besides, since I was 16 years old, I haven't played with my hands anymore!"

  Liu Chunsheng's words caused everyone in the room to burst out laughing!

  At the banquet, it was inevitable that many people would offer toasts, and Chen Daxing also came without refusing. These guys were just a group of ordinary people, even if their drinking capacity was good, how could they compare with Chen Daxing, a strong martial artist?

  "Hey, I said it sounds familiar, isn't this Liu Da Shao?"

  Just when Chen Daxing and Liu Hao were having a great time drinking, the private room door was pushed open.

  Chen Dasheng looked up and saw a young man with a flat head and garlic nose walking in, about 25 or 26 years old, wearing a dress shirt and suit pants, looking very neat and tidy, slightly chubby, obviously a person of status, his face was flushed, clearly having drunk quite a bit of wine.

  Chen Daxing thought this person was one of Liu Hao's friends, but when he turned around, he saw that Liu Hao's eyebrows were furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart. Could it be that this person is Liu Hao's enemy?

  "Wu Wenxuan, I have a distinguished guest to attend to today, no time to bother with you, scram as far as you can!" Liu Hao raised an eyebrow and said bluntly to the young man.

  That young man, however, didn't show the slightest hint of anger upon hearing this. Instead, he walked over with a smile and said, "A noble guest? Not many people can be called 'noble guests' by Liu Da Shao. I'm really curious to see who it is."

  Wu Wenxuan walked to the front of the table, his eyes scanning the people seated there. He knew almost everyone in attendance, and finally his gaze came to rest on Chen Dasheng, who was sitting next to Liu Hao.

  "Could this be the honored guest?" Among these people, except for Chen Dashi, everyone else was following Liu Hao to get involved in the matter. The only one he didn't recognize was Chen Dashi!

  Wu Wenxuan's eyes had a hint of mockery, with an honest face, a pair of jeans that cost at most 20 yuan, a pair of casual shoes that had been washed countless times and had turned yellow, and probably the only valuable thing on him was the Meibang jacket.

  Would such a person be a noble guest? Wu Wenxuan was somewhat skeptical, and wondered if he might be a relative from Liu Hao's hometown.

  "That's right, Wu, I advise you to leave quickly. We'll settle our accounts later. Otherwise, you'll disturb Big Brother Chen's pleasure and it won't be good for you." Liu Hao said to Wu Wenxuan, while ignoring him.

  "Hehe, this noble guest please excuse me, I'll leave once I've finished my business." Wu Wenxuan smiled upon hearing this and chuckled at Chen Dasheng, then calmly turned to Liu Hao and said, "Liu young master is always elusive, it's not easy for me to find you. You owe our venue 55.8 million, and it's been almost two years now, isn't it time to settle the account?"

  "Wow, it's actually here to collect debts!" Chen Dabing's face twitched, and he turned his head to look at Liu Hao with a strange expression. This guy was really good at hiding his true nature, having owed so much money to others. Earlier, he had thought that the person was some kind of arch-nemesis of Liu Hao's.

  Liu Hao's face twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he gave Chen Daxing an apologetic glance before standing up and forcibly dragging Wu Wenxuan out.

  ——

  "Who's this?" Liu Hao dragged that person out, Chen Dabing asked Liuchun.

  Liu Chunsheng let out a dry laugh and said, "His name is Wu Wenxuan. His mom is the chairman of a film and television entertainment company. However, his dad is quite something - his dad's name is Wu Yingxiong, and he's the boss of one of the two major gangs in Chengdu, the Small Knife Gang, which specializes in underground casinos and has a lot of influence. Last year, Hao Ge lost money at their casino and was being pursued for debt repayment. This Wu Wenxuan is like a plague god, always popping up to ask Hao Ge for money from time to time, and Hao Ge is really annoyed with him!"

  What's going on here, can't even let others collect debts if they owe someone money? Chen Dasheng was speechless at once. Damn it, this is a group of extreme products, is this what the so-called second generation is all about? How come their logic is completely different from mine?

  Looking at Liu Hao's followers, who were loudly listing Wu Wenxuan's crimes everywhere, Chen Daxing could only sigh in his heart: "The rich and powerful are indeed lawless, they don't even pay their debts, yet they still have the nerve to talk about reason."

  Not long after, the door of the package room opened with a creak. Liu Hao came in first, with a satisfied smile on his face. Wu Wenxuan followed closely behind and quickly walked to Chen Dasheng's side. His tightly furrowed eyebrows relaxed, replaced by a smiling expression.

  "Brother Sheng, I was a bit slow just now, little brother apologizes to you, let's have a drink first!" Wu Wenxuan took an empty cup, filled it with white wine, and without even furrowing his brow, he downed the whole cup in one gulp.

  Chen Dasheng gave Liu Hao a inexplicable glance, wondering what he had just said to Wu Wenxuan, and his attitude changed too quickly!

  They say that a smiling face is hard to hit, Chen Dashi also raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, then waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

  Wu Wenxuan smiled and handed over a business card, "This is my card, I have something to attend to, so I won't disturb Brother Sheng's meal!"

  With that, Wu Wenyuan apologetically bowed slightly and turned around to leave.

  ——

  Chen Dashi turned his face and looked at Liu Hao with a complacent expression, furrowing his brow and saying, "You've reported my sister's name again?"

  Liu Hao's smile froze, and he said, "Sheng Ge, it's about resource utilization. If not, that guy will pester us endlessly, and we won't be able to finish this meal!"

  "Damn it!" Chen Dashi cursed, "He waived the bill for you?"

  "Uh!" Liu Hao dryly laughed and said, "Well, that's not the case, but I got a discount, so I can delay it for a few months."

  "Damn it, your family is so rich, how can you still owe money and not pay it back?" Chen Dasheng suddenly rolled his eyes.

  It's better not to mention it, but as soon as Liu Hao heard this, he got angry and said, "Sheng Ge, you don't know that they run several underground casinos. More than a year ago, this kid cheated me into going to gamble. At first, I won some small money, but later on, I lost more and more. I felt something was off at the time and knew for sure that I had been cheated by this kid. I immediately turned around and left. Damn it, he's still got the nerve to cheat me out of my money!

  "Is their family's casino very big?" Chen Dashi heard this and had a slight reaction in his heart, thinking of the previous gamble with He Liang, and couldn't help but feel itchy hands.

  Liu Haodao said, "Of course it's big, his old man is a mixed bag on the road, what, does Sheng Ge want to go take a look?"

  Chen Dasheng thought for a moment and waved his hand, saying "Forget it, we'll talk about it later when we have time!"

  Although he was itching to do so, Chen Dashi was very clear that gambling was not a good thing. Once you get hooked, it's hard to shake off. He still had money to use now and hadn't reached the point of having no way out, so he didn't plan on touching this stuff again.

  Liu Hao was somewhat disappointed when he heard this, and he still hoped that Chen Dabai could follow him to the Wu family's underground casino for a trip. Maybe with Chen Dabai's face, he could even get his debt waived.

  Liu Hao this kid is up to something in his mind, Chen Daxing will definitely know, of course he won't let him succeed.

  He took a sip of wine and Chen Dabing asked, "Haozi, what's the situation with my sister in Chengdu? Why do I see that you're all afraid of her?"

  Liu Haogan laughed and said, "We are just small potatoes, who knows what's going on over there? But my old man gave me an example!"

  "Huh?" Chen Dabai put down his wine cup and stared at Liu Hao, waiting for the kid's next words.

  Liu Hao continued, "Sheng Ge, let me put it this way, your sister is like a top-secret agent or the head of the Imperial Guards. Don't be fooled by her pretending to be a nun at Wenshu Temple, but in reality, she's doing things that even the provincial governor and secretary have to be careful about."

  Liu Hao's words made Chen Daxing somewhat understand and yet not understand, but he didn't mind either. As for everything about Chen Xiaoli, he would gradually come to know.

  "Ding ding ding, ding ding ding!"

  A vibration in his pocket, Chen Dabing took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Liu Yunshi, and he couldn't help but frown.

  "What's up?" Chen Dashi answered the phone with some annoyance.

  "What are you doing?" came Liu Yunshi's voice from the other end of the phone.

  Chen Dasheng said in a bad mood, "What else can we do? Eat, of course. I told you to come earlier but you didn't."

  "Oh!" Liu Yunshi responded with a somewhat hesitant tone.

  "What's going on with all this hemming and hawing? Spit it out!" Chen Dajun said.

  Liu Yunshi paused for a moment and said, "You, can you come over here for a second?"

  "Huh?" Chen Dashi was somewhat taken aback, "Where did you come from? What are you doing here?"

  Liu Yunshi immediately said, "I'm at Wangfujing's Sanbendian Japanese restaurant right now, can you come?"

  "Huh?" Chen Dajun hesitated for a moment, and upon hearing the girl's urgent tone, he hastily asked, "Has something happened to you?"

  After a moment of silence, Chen Dashi heard someone on the other side calling out to Liu Yunshi. Immediately after, he heard Liu Yunshi respond with two "en"s, and then quickly say to Chen Dashi, "I've encountered a top-notch opponent, I need firepower support now, hurry over."

  After finishing speaking, Liu Yunpo hastily hung up the phone.

  "What's wrong, Chen Dashi?" Everyone at the table looked at Chen Dashi in confusion, and Liu Hao asked uncertainly.

  Chen Dashi furrowed his brow, then smiled at Liu Hao and the others, putting away his phone. "We've eaten and drunk enough, let's call it a day. Thanks for the hospitality, everyone!"

  Liu Hao saw Chen Dashi wanting to leave and knew that Chen Dashi must have had some urgent matter, so he quickly stood up. "Brother Sheng, where are you going? I'll send you!"

  "Never mind, you've had so much to drink, can you still see the road clearly? If you get caught, it's all on you!" Chen Dasheng laughed.

  Liu Hao heard this and immediately became displeased. "Sheng Ge, although I may not be able to drink as much as you, I'm not bad either! If you want to put it on me, come on, let's have another half jin, it's almost the same. Come on, I'll take you there, we've got connections at the traffic police station, what are you afraid of?"

  "Grass!"

  Chen Dashi silently gave a middle finger in his heart, Liu Hao insisted on persisting, and he didn't refuse either. He left the table of people who were drunk and staggering, and walked out with Liu Hao, arm in arm.
