Chapter 400: Wang Ge

Both sides were tense, swords drawn and bows stretched.

The boss's bulky body stood in the middle, blocking the way.

Don't be fooled by the boss's fat appearance—his strength is incredible; even Zhou Jie's three bodyguards couldn't push past him.

Liu Shiru pulled out his phone, ready to call for help.

Wen Han also pulled out his phone, unsure who he was speaking to.

Just then, the hall's door was pushed open,

A tall middle-aged man entered from outside.

He had a typical square face,

with a slicked-back hairstyle and a sturdy build.

Upon entering the hall,

Then he bellowed, "What are you all doing? Zhou Jie, Wen Han, what are you two arguing about?"

"Wang Ge, you're here. Just in time, tell me what's going on—I brought a friend to hang out at your place, and Zhou Jie wants to snatch my friend away."

"Zhou Jie is being too pushy." Wen Han quickly said to Wang Ge.

"Wen Han, what do you mean? I already said this guy is my enemy. Wang Ge, I have to take Zhao Jianqiang away today." Zhou Jie also said to Wang Ge.

I'd never heard of Wang Ge before.

It appeared that both Wen Han and Zhou Jie were somewhat afraid of Wang Ge.

Could this underground casino belong to Wang Ge?

Wang Ge suddenly looked at me,

"You're Zhao Jianqiang."

I nodded,

and cupped my fists,

"Yes, Wang Ge."

"Hehe, is this your first time in Sijiucheng?" Wang Ge said.

"Yes, Wang Ge." I replied.

Wang Ge didn't say anything else to me,

Then he turned to Wen Han and Zhou Jie and said, "Wen Han, Zhou Jie, you two are my friends; you often come to my place to hang out."

"You're welcome to play, but no trouble here. Zhou Jie, Zhao Jianqiang is Wen Han's friend; he came to this casino, you can't take him—if you do, it's as if you're denying me face."

"Outside the casino, you can grab him as you please—I won't ask."

"Wen Han, today's incident is over, no matter who was right or wrong."

"Now take Zhao Jianqiang and leave."

"After you leave this place, I won't get involved in your affairs any further."

Wen Han immediately said, "Okay, Wang Ge. We're leaving now—boss, tidy up the chips, Brother Jianqiang, follow behind me. Let's go."

Wen Han walked ahead, I followed behind, and the boss carried the chip bag behind me.

Our group swaggered out of the hall.

Zhou Jie and Liu Shiru watched us go,

Zhou Jie then grew anxious, wanting to signal his men to follow us out.

But Wang Ge said, "Zhou Jie, enough. Don't cause trouble—today give me, Wang Ge, some face. From now on, whoever arrests whom, whoever messes with whom, I won't interfere."

After speaking, Wang Ge reached out and had his men block the bodyguards Zhou Jie had brought.

We quickly exited the villa.

Walking outside,

Wen Han said to me, "Let's go our separate ways."

The boss drove off with Wen Han first.

I had just reached my car when Xiao Yan waved from the side, saying, "Mr. Zhao, come over, get in this car."

I hurriedly got into Xiao Yan's car.

Xiao Yan then started the car, pressed the accelerator, and the car sped off.

"Xiao Yan, when did you show up?"

"As soon as you left the door, I followed; it was arranged by Second Master Wen." Xiao Yan said.

It seemed Wen Han had anticipated this, knowing that coming here would inevitably lead to a clash with Zhou Jie, so he had Xiao Yan follow.

"Xiao Yan, we clashed with Zhou Jie inside the casino." I said.

"Why?" Xiao Yan said.

"Because they wanted to take me away, but Mr. Wen disagreed; he also brought out a man named Wang Ge to intervene, which is how we got out. Who is Wang Ge?" I asked Xiao Yan.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm just a servant; I don't know much. I just do my duty." Xiao Yan laughed.

Xiao Yan really knows how to keep his mouth shut.

Yeah, in Sijiucheng, if you can't keep your mouth shut, it could be deadly—like Qiu Xi.

I don't know what information Qiu Xi leaked about Wen Han that prompted Wen Han to order a hit.

I don't need to ask further; asking more would be redundant.

I sat in the car, silently watching the outside.

Suddenly, I heard a booming sound outside.

A car was chasing us again.

No need to ask; it must be Zhou Jie's men chasing us.

Xiao Yan glanced at the car behind him in the rearview mirror.

Then he said to me, "Mr. Zhao, hold on tight. They're really fast; Second Master Wen already anticipated this, having me come pick you up, or did they notice us?"

I said, "Xiao Yan, how's your driving? Can you shake them off?"

Xiao Yan smiled.

"Mr. Zhao, dealing with them is a piece of cake."

After saying that, Xiao Yan pushed the accelerator to the floor, the car let out a huge roar, and then shot forward like an arrow.

I gripped the handle tightly.

I saw Xiao Yan repeatedly turning the steering wheel, dodging back and forth through the traffic.

Just watching Xiao Yan's driving showed that he had been trained, and it was the result of long-term training, his ability similar to Xiao Long's.

Our car weaved quickly through the traffic.

The car behind was quickly shaken off by Xiao Yan.

After about ten minutes or so, I looked in the rearview mirror and could no longer see any car following us.

I let out a breath of relief.

Xiao Yan then said, "Mr. Zhao, we're returning to the Amusement Hall. Second Master Wen is waiting for us."

"All right, Xiao Yan, your driving is good," I said.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the praise," Xiao Yan said, and then fell silent.

The two of us soon drove to the street at the hutong entrance, about to get out.

Xiao Yan said, "Mr. Zhao, don't get out. We'll go down the side path."

"How do we get into the courtyard house without getting out?" I asked.

Xiao Yan didn't say much more.

He used a remote to open a street-facing shop, and after rolling up the shutter door, a dark room was revealed.

Xiao Yan then drove the car into the room.

After entering the shop, Xiao Yan used the remote to close the shutter door.

After the shutter door was closed, the room's lights turned on.

Our car happened to be parked on a lift.

The lift began to descend underground.

It took over a minute to reach the ground.

Xiao Yan then drove the car off the lift,

after passing through an underground passage about 500 meters long,

we arrived at an underground parking lot.

In the parking lot were parked a dozen or so luxury cars.

Looking around, I thought, "How come there are so many cars here?"

After Xiao Yan parked the car,

he said to me, "Mr. Zhao, we've arrived."

We got out of the car, one after the other.

Xiao Yan went to an elevator lobby and opened the elevator.

Xiao Yan and I got into the elevator.

The elevator quickly rose to the surface.

Upon reaching the surface, I saw that it was actually the Amusement Hall of the courtyard house.

Damn, I suddenly understood,

meaning the entire courtyard house's basement had been hollowed out for use as a garage, and a shop facing the street was made as an entrance; ordinary people couldn't tell at all.

This is way too covert.

How much money does constructing this setup take?

Wen Han comes and goes through the courtyard house without anyone knowing, and he doesn't need to walk that hutong stretch, so his safety is assured.

After I exited the elevator room,

Xiao Yan said, "Mr. Zhao, Second Master Wen is waiting for you in the rear room; I won't go with you."

"Thank you, Xiao Yan, for your hard work," I said.

"Don't mention it, Mr. Zhao; I'm just a servant—tell me what you need," Xiao Yan said.

I smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Yan being a servant—who the hell would believe that?
