The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 173: One Thing at a Time


Zuo Dahai continued speaking while driving, "This rule, actually, is quite simple when you put it in words. It's just that when it comes to actually doing it, it's quite difficult. It's just five words: keep things separate!"

"Keep things separate?!" Luo Chao was stunned. It's important to know that "keep things separate" was also one of Liu Ye's life principles!

Luo Chao thought to himself, "Indeed, ruthless people have common traits!"

"That's right, it's about keeping things separate. How is it, doesn't it sound simple? But in reality, how many people in this world can truly separate business from personal matters and keep things separate? I, for one, can't do it. I suppose those who can have already become significant figures!"

Zuo Dahai spoke slowly, but it was obvious from his words that he had a deep respect for those who could truly keep things separate in the world.

"Do you know how that gambling industry big shot managed to keep things separate?"

Seeing that Luo Chao seemed very interested, Zuo Dahai looked at the navigation system, knowing they were still far from Huahai City's First People's Hospital, and decided to deliberately keep them in suspense.

"Haha, I don't know. Why don't you tell me, Brother Zuo?" Luo Chao responded with a smile.

Kidding. As the Soldier King of the Dragon Fang Team, how could Luo Chao not know what keeping things separate means in terms of that gambling industry's big shot?

Luo Chao, after combining what Zuo Dahai just told him, had already guessed most of the content about how that gambling industry's big shot kept things separate.

However, Luo Chao wanted to save Zuo Dahai's face and could also see that Zuo Dahai was eager to finish telling the story, so he pretended not to know, allowing Zuo Dahai to continue.

But, whatever was on Luo Chao's mind was unknown to Zuo Dahai. Zuo Dahai thought Luo Chao genuinely didn't know, so he chuckled and went on.

"Actually, the way that gambling industry's big shot kept things separate was, he proposed the ten thousand US dollars as gambling money, but the Black guys lost. So, although ten thousand US dollars was not a lot to the gambling industry's big shot, it was still money.

"And as long as it's money, it fits the keeping things separate rule set by the gambling industry's big shot. He absolutely won't break his own rule. So, he would never hand over this ten thousand US dollars, even if investigated by the United States' 911."

"To that gambling industry big shot, whether it's ten thousand US dollars in gambling money or hundreds of thousands in bail, gambling money is gambling money, bail is bail, keeping things separate applies. This relates to the use of the money, not the amount. That's the rule of that gambling industry big shot, it's his principle!" Zuo Dahai expounded confidently.

"Hahaha, quite the keeping things separate. That gambling industry's big shot certainly deserves his fierce reputation in the Underworld!" Luo Chao laughed heartily too.

Just then, Tang Tianyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected, "That's not right, there's a bug in your story."

"Miss, what did you say, a bug? A bug as in a parrot? I don't think I mentioned any parrots." Zuo Dahai scratched his head, confused.

Luo Chao knew Zuo Dahai didn't understand Tang Tianyi's English, so he awkwardly laughed and quickly explained, "No, no, Brother Zuo, just now Miss Tang was speaking English. She said there was a flaw in your story, not a parrot."

"There's a flaw in my story? Well, go ahead and tell me what flaw you think there is in my story!"

At the mention of "flaw", Zuo Dahai's face visibly darkened, but to save Luo Chao's face, he couldn't lose his temper and had to suppress his irritation, questioning Tang Tianyi.

"There's no flaw, where's the flaw, Miss Tang, you clearly didn't listen properly just now and didn't hear the story clearly. Brother Zuo's story has been around for years; if there was a flaw, someone would have spotted it long ago. How could it just now be discovered by you? And Brother Zuo, don't get upset, it's not worth it to go against a girl!"

Luo Chao had already sensed the tension in Zuo Dahai's tone, but both Tang Tianyi and Zuo Dahai were his friends.

Luo Chao didn't want to see his friends get upset over such a trivial matter, so he quickly intervened to defuse the situation.

As soon as Luo Chao spoke, Zuo Dahai immediately understood Luo Chao's intention. After all, Zuo Dahai used to be a bigwig in the business world, so he had a high emotional intelligence. Understanding Luo Chao's intention, Zuo Dahai didn't speak further.

Even though Zuo Dahai and Tang Tianyi didn't see eye to eye, Zuo Dahai knew he would have to depend on Luo Chao in the future, so he wouldn't miss any chance to save face for Luo Chao.

Realizing that the atmosphere in the car had somewhat relaxed, Luo Chao was ready to let Zuo Dahai continue his story, but an unexpected scene unfolded for Luo Chao and Zuo Dahai.

Suddenly, Tang Tianyi sat up straight and pronounced clearly to Zuo Dahai, "Since you want to know what bug is in your story, I'll graciously tell you!"

"Dammit!" Luo Chao was taken aback by Tang Tianyi's sudden words. At that moment, if Tang Tianyi weren't a woman, Luo Chao really wanted to slap her.

This Tang Tianyi was indeed a rare case with no emotional intelligence; Luo Chao could only comfort himself with this thought.

As soon as Tang Tianyi spoke, the previously calm Zuo Dahai couldn't help but explode!

Zuo Dahai slammed on the brakes, causing the car to screech to a halt right on the road!

Fortunately, it was late in the evening, and it was drizzling outside, so there weren't many cars on the road.

Otherwise, Zuo Dahai's sudden brake could have easily resulted in a rear-end collision from the cars behind!

Zuo Dahai angrily shouted, "You say, what flaw is there in my story? Go ahead and tell me! If I find you wrong and unsatisfactory, I'm not moving an inch today!"

"No, no, no, Brother Zuo, I have an urgent matter to attend to now, you drive first, and we can talk as we go, can't we?" Luo Chao quickly mediated.

Kidding, I still have someone to save, who has time to argue with you on the road!

Zuo Dahai was generally a straightforward man of his word, but once Luo Chao mentioned having an urgent matter, Zuo Dahai hesitated.
