Chapter 264: Bright and Scary
Chapter 264: Bright and Scary
Three hours passed quickly. Zhong Suhan brought the child, who was a little full from eating two melons, back to the place where he had separated from Huang Li and the others. When he saw the three naked people standing there, the corners of his mouth curled up a little.
"Been robbed?"
Huang Li and the other three all looked unhappy. They stood naked in front of Zhong Suhan, covering their private parts with their hands. There were people watching on both sides of the road, pointing at them and laughing.
"I was tricked. They cheated me. I didn't realize it at first. By the time I realized it, I had lost all my clothes to them."
Huangli said gritting his teeth that Biaozi and Yezi originally wanted to cause trouble, but this was someone else's territory and they didn't bring any weapons when they came down. The other side had more people and more power, so they would not get any good results if they caused trouble.
The second is that this woman came here for something, and if the matter gets out of hand, she might end up in trouble, and then it might not just be a simple matter of embarrassment.
Zhong Suhan: ...
She took a deep breath towards the sky, suppressing her emotions again and again, but still couldn't help kicking each of the three of them, staring at them with cold eyes.
"Wait here."
Huang Li was lying on the ground with his teeth bared, a piece of clothing covering his key parts. It was Luo Kuan who gave him the coat. He was taking off the coat and preparing to give it to Ye Zi, while Biaozi was already holding Yao Luoshan's coat to block the front.
"Luo Kuan, go in and tell your sister not to play with these people. They are professional con artists and there are so many of them. Don't let her suffer any loss."
Luo Kuan nodded. The bar was dim, and the smell of cigarettes mixed with cheap perfume. He quickly found his sister who was gambling with others among a group of people. He walked over and pulled her sleeve, "Sister."
"Didn't I tell you to stay outside?" Zhong Suhan nonchalantly hugged her brother to her. She was playing a game of big or small with the opponent, the simplest game but also the easiest to cheat. She casually picked up the whiskey on the table, bit open the cork and took a gulp, "Help me open the cards."
"Okay." Luo Kuan obediently opened the cards in front of her, five points, and the opponent's three points, "Sister wins."
"Go on." Zhong Suhan grinned, "I didn't touch the cards the whole time, but don't accuse me of cheating."
Luo Kuan was like a meat bun hitting a dog, and the people outside were a little panicked. Fortunately, ten minutes later, Luo Kuan came out holding their clothes, followed by Zhong Suhan with a look of boredom in his eyes.
"Are you... okay?" Huang Li looked at Zhong Suhan with mixed emotions. This woman had been gone for such a long time, the clothes couldn't have been bought by her, they could have been won.
She fooled the three of them and got all the clothes back in just ten minutes.
Zhong Suhan gave them the money again and sneered, "You don't know how to stop losses in time. I think you have a brain. It doesn't matter if you don't want it. Put on your clothes and let's go."
The man's cheating methods were very low-level, and it would be easy to tell that something was wrong after three or four tries. However, Huangli and the others actually lost all their clothes and pants. It was obvious that they were too excited and thought they could win it back.
The gambler's mentality will kill many people on the battlefield.
Huang Li looked so ashamed by what she said that he could not utter a word in rebuttal. He put on his clothes in silence and followed her back to the spaceship. Then he heard her say something even more heartbreaking.
"Among the three of you, you are the head coach. If the head coach doesn't know how to stop the loss in time, it will kill the people under your command."
She spoke these words very softly, so softly that only he heard them, and only he knew the weight of these words.
Huang Li clenched his drooping hands into fists, gritted his teeth for a while, and said sincerely: "I know I was wrong, please punish me, Miss Qiu."
"You can do 1,000 push-ups, Biaozi and Yezi can do 500. Is that a problem?"
Huang Li signaled the two people behind him to shut up, "No problem."
"Luo Kuan counts them." Zhong Suhan said and took Yao Luoshan to the cockpit. On the way, she asked him why he punished them. He explained to her in detail, "Those in power must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. They cannot do things based on personal emotions. If they make mistakes, they must be punished. If they do well, they must be rewarded. No matter if they are close or distant, or enemies or friends, they must be treated equally."
Yao Luoshan took note of the words and nodded, indicating that he understood. "Then shall we go look for Mao Yu now? How do you know where he is on this planet?"
"Hmm? Just a little intel from me. You can develop some of your own knowledge in the future."
Mao Yu lived not far from the small town, and the spaceship arrived in a few minutes. Luo Kuan wanted to watch Huang Li and the others doing push-ups, so Zhong Suhan took Yao Luoshan off the spaceship, and then smiled at Mao Yu who came out to see what was going on after hearing the noise.
Mao Yu was already in his thirties when he left Senluo Wanxiang with his daughter. More than a decade has passed, and he is now a gentlemanly man in his fifties with gray hair.
"Hello, is this Mao Yu or Mao Yeye?" Yao Luoshan remembered what Zhong Suhan had said to him. He stood there nervously but not timidly, trying to straighten his back and raise his head. "My name is Yao Luoshan, and I'm the son of Yao Qifeng."
It is said that daughters resemble their fathers, and Yao Luoshan indeed looks very similar to Yao Qifeng.
Mao Yu recognized her the moment she came down, and pretended to be happy and walked forward: "Why are you here? Is your father okay? I have been away from the alliance for so long in the blink of an eye."
"Grandpa Mao Yu, actually dad he... dad he..." Yao Luoshan's eyes turned red. Zhong Suhan said that the old man had known about the chaos in Senluo Wanxiang a long time ago, but if he pretended not to know, then she had to pretend not to know as well.
Yao Luoshan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and showed a strong smile. "Let's not talk about this grandpa. I came here just to see you. These are some gifts I bought. You know I grew up with a bunch of rough guys and I'm not very good at shopping. Please don't despise me if they're not good."
Zhong Suhan stepped forward at the right time and asked, "Grandpa, where is the best place for me to put these things?"
“Just put it in the living room.”
Mao Yu knew that it was not as simple as just coming to see him, but it might not be so easy to drive them away. He could only welcome them into the living room first and exchanged a few polite words with Yao Luoshan, thinking that she was just a child. Senluo Wanxiang's companions all said that this young master was weak and incompetent and could be sent away after a few words.
But the other party politely brought up the civil strife in Senluo Wanxiang and mentioned the death of Yao Qifeng.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry about your father's situation. I also know why you are here. I'm just an old man who is half buried in the ground. I can't lift a knife or a gun anymore. I have a five-year-old granddaughter at home to take care of..."
"Grandpa Mao Yu is too modest. When Sister Bai Ling died, she was still telling me how cute your granddaughter was. She even showed me her photo. Isn't she really very cute?"
Yao Luoshan took out the photo that Zhong Suhan printed out from his clothes and handed it to him. The little girl in the photo was talking to the teacher like the other children.
"I wanted to go and say hello to the kids and play with them, but the kindergarten teacher said that we can't disturb the kids when they are playing games, so I didn't go."
Mao Yu felt cold all over. The other party was using his granddaughter to threaten him. He forced a smile and said, "The teacher is right."
"Her playmate is still fine, but mine is now beheaded. Grandpa Mao Yu, I am really sad, very, very sad. My father was worried until his death whether someone would come to trouble you in the future. After all, you offended many people for Senluo Wanxiang. What if someone told them that you were here..."
"Are you going to tell them?" Mao Yu's face suddenly turned cold, and he placed his hand on the gap in the sofa, where a gun was hidden. "Master, I'm old, and I just want to live a peaceful life."
"If possible, who wouldn't want to live a peaceful life?" Yao Luoshan said, "But Li Mu won't let me live a peaceful life. He has been trying to kill me. I really have no choice but to do it, Grandpa Mao Yu."
"Cough cough." Zhong Suhan coughed twice. This was a secret signal, suggesting that Yao Luoshan could tell the cause of Mao Yu's daughter's death.
Yao Luoshan said before drawing his gun on the other side: "Besides, don't you want to avenge your daughter?"
"What do you mean?" Mao Yu narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Young Master may not know that my daughter committed suicide."
"Committing suicide... does that mean you have no enemies? If not, why did you retreat at the height of your career and leave with Sister Zhu'er at the most glorious moment of the universe?"
Mao Yu pulled out his gun and excitedly pointed it at Yao Luoshan, "What are you talking about! Yao Luoshan, what do you know!"
Having a gun pointed at her head and being on the verge of life and death was a terrible feeling. Yao Luoshan's body was shaking slightly, but she controlled the cowardice in her heart and did not show it. She slowly raised her head and looked directly at this angry old man who was half buried in the ground but could jump up at any time to fight with anyone.
“I remember Sister Zhu’er was very beautiful, but when she left, her body was covered with bruises. I was young at the time and didn’t know what they were, but now that I’m older, I know what they are.
You have been an interstellar thief for almost three or four years. You know what kind of people these people are like better than I do. Do you think the criminals back then will come back to find Sister Zhuer after knowing your coordinates? Will the things that threatened Sister Zhuer back then be used to threaten Sister Zhuer again?"
Mao Yu was trembling all over. He knew his daughter would not commit suicide! "Who is it! Tell me who it is!"
"If you help me, I will naturally hand the prisoner over to you for disposal after the matter is completed."
Yao Luoshan gripped the revolver and put the muzzle against his forehead. His tone was still unhurried, his voice was still steady, and the flame of revenge flickered in his eyes, so bright that it was frightening.
"If you don't help me, please kill me now. I have no way out anyway. It's better to die in your hands than to die in the hands of that despicable Li Mu."
After saying that, she opened her arms and asked Mao Yu to make a choice, whether to beat her to death or to help her.
