Fresh blood flowed like a fountain from the eyes of the messenger.
The messenger's face was twisted, his mouth open but he dared not emit a single painful howl.
"G-Great General, I was wrong!"
All that was left was remorse.
Just because he saw what he shouldn't have seen.
At this moment, Liu Ruyi, who had somewhat looked down on Yuan Shao, was now filled with charm and a face full of spring light.
The feeling of being protected by a man was truly wonderful.
Over the years, although she was the woman of Second Young Master Feng, apart from occasional companionship and endless money-making, it seemed she had never truly been protected by any man.
Yuan Shao, who called himself the Great General, out of sheer wildness, had gouged out the eyes of the man who dared to glance at her more than once.
"Throw him out." Yuan Shao's words fell, and the enchanting woman acted, throwing the messenger out.
Yuan Shao's expression turned solemn, a stark contrast to his earlier greedy appearance.
How small Yun City was, it almost never entered Yuan Shao's eyes. This time he came, only because Yuan Shao took the initiative, as there was something here that interested the president.
By the way, to settle an old grudge from decades ago, to make Zhou Weijun kneel in front of him, repent, and accept his death.
The medicinal herb street was just the first step, Yuan Shao had much more in mind.
He even intended to sweep his influence across the entire Yun City in just a few days, to become the overlord of Yun City, and to further empower his godfather, making Yun City a solid backing for his godfather.
But now, a mistake had occurred.
Just then, another anxious voice came from outside.
"Mr. Liu, something's happened."
This time it was someone under Liu Ruyi.
After entering, the person cautiously glanced at Yuan Shao, then looked at Liu Ruyi and said tremblingly, "The money in our casino is almost all won."
"Hmm?" Liu Ruyi stood up: "Who?"
The casino had its own rules.
Over the years, Liu Ruyi had seen some gambling masters, but in the end, none had actually managed to win a penny from the casino.
First, using a soft approach, and if that didn't work, then force, no one could resist Liu Ruyi's tactics.
Today, someone had almost won all the casino's money, when had another gambling master arrived?
The messenger hesitated, then looked at Yuan Shao again: "It's, it's Mr. Yuan's subordinate, a man named Tu Wan. We know he's acquainted with you, Mr. Liu, so we didn't report it at first, but within just half a day, he won every gamble. The casino manager was worried about problems, so he sent me to report."
"Tu Wan?" Liu Ruyi suddenly realized, waved his hand to have the messenger leave, then looked at Yuan Shao with a smile: "Great General, what is your intention?"
"Haha, Boss Liu, my money and your money are all the same. Tu Wan loves gambling and has never lost before. It seems his hands were itching. I'll have him return all the money he won to you, Boss Liu."
The words were understated.
But Liu Ruyi understood. If you agree to be my woman today, fine; if not, I can easily take everything from you without using force.
Liu Ruyi sighed softly. Although she had heard of a gambling master under the Azure Dragon Commerce's great secretary An Cangsheng, she had never seen him in person.
Because of opening this casino, Liu Ruyi had indeed raised many masters, some of whom were even called the King of Kings, yet they were not a match for Tu Wan.
Liu Ruyi's thoughts were chaotic for a moment, then she covered her mouth and smiled: "Great General, you jest. If you have feelings for me, I, Liu Ruyi, am just a woman and can't accomplish great things. I only hope to find someone to rely on, who understands me."
"Haha, Boss Liu, from today on, if anyone dares to bully you, I will kill them!" Yuan Shao laughed, pulling Liu Ruyi into his arms, and shouted: "Bring the person who detained Shui Liao, I want to see who has such skills!"
A soft moan came from Liu Ruyi's mouth, filled with infinite affection.
Soon, Ye Guichen got the news.
Yuan Shao wanted to meet him at the underground casino.
"How did he hook up with Liu Ruyi again?" Su Jiu'er looked puzzled.
Ever since the incident with Su Ze, Su Jiu'er had no good feelings towards Liu Ruyi.
Her own brother had unclear relationships with Liu Ruyi, and if not for Liu Ruyi, her brother Su Ze might not have made mistakes.
"That woman is a seductress, hooking up with any man, and now she's with Yuan Shao, she must have bad intentions!" Su Jiu'er said angrily: "Since they know Shui Liao was captured, this is obviously a Hongmen Banquet, you can't go!"
Zhou Weijun also looked worried: "Yes, Yuan Shao is too cunning, if it's a trap, we won't be able to escape. If he wants to talk, let's set the place to talk."
Shui Liao being captured had become Ye Guichen's bargaining chip, giving Zhou Weijun new confidence.
Although he initially feared Yuan Shao greatly, he now saw a glimmer of hope.
He also understood that without Yuan Shao's death, he would never be at ease.
So, he could only hope Ye Guichen could suppress Yuan Shao.
If Ye Guichen failed, his only path was death.
Ye Guichen looked at the two, smiling: "Since he invited us, not going would be looking down on us? Haha, we will go, and bring along Shui Liao. I want to see what Great General Yuan is capable of!"
Then, turning to Shui Liao, he said: "I will take you to see Yuan Shao, don't move, or I will kill you, understand?"
"Don't mention the general's name, I will kill you!" Shui Liao continued in a rage, causing Ye Guichen to frown and shake his head: "Never mind, carry him."
Then he stepped out.
Su Jiu'er was reluctant but, seeing Ye Guichen's calm demeanor, exchanged glances with Zhou Weijun and followed along.
Zhou Weijun also brought people, with four of them carrying Shui Liao.
To bring Shui Liao along, Zhou Weijun even found a small truck and threw Shui Liao into the back.
Soon, Ye Guichen and his group arrived at the underground casino.
Someone was already waiting for Ye Guichen and led them into the courtyard as soon as they arrived.
"Ye Guichen?" Liu Ruyi immediately recognized him, never expecting him to be the one who subdued Shui Liao.
Due to the previous incident with Wen Daoxian, Liu Ruyi knew Ye Guichen was not easy to deal with, and now seeing him again, she felt a bit hesitant.
Yuan Shao sat boldly at the entrance on a boss chair, squinting at Ye Guichen.
Beside Ye Guichen were Su Jiu'er, Tie Shou, and Zhou Weijun.
Behind them, four people carried the now immobilized Shui Liao.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Yuan Shao clapped his hands together, looking at Zhou Weijun with some surprise: "Weijun, it's been years, and you still look the same, seems you've had a good life!"
As he spoke, Yuan Shao pointed to the scar at the corner of his eye: "Oh, I've not been so lucky, this scar remains, and the wrinkles on my face can't compare to yours."
