Chapter 197: Money Laundering

"I choose Shen Shui Bu." Gao Jin quickly made his choice.

Macau is nice, but they have no foothold there, it's far from Gangdao, and getting started will be very hard.

Moreover, they don't know any gambling masters at all, so running a casino carries great risk.

Shen Shui Bu may not match Macau now, but its development potential is huge.

Most crucially, Gao Jin understands Chen Mo's thinking very well.

In the future, their business will become increasingly regular and increasingly legal.

Shen Shui Bu's territory makes it easier for them to develop legitimate (white‑path) enterprises.

Chen Mo is not at all surprised by Gao Jin's choice.

"Alright, Shen Shui Bu is also a good place. However, if you want to sit on the top seat in Shen Shui Bu, Gu Ye Bai cannot stay."

Gu Ye Bai is Jing Ma's top horse, but many say he is Jing Ma's pampered pretty boy.

Regardless of the truth, Gu Ye Bai has always been the number‑two figure in the Shen Shui Bu hall, and he enjoys high prestige there.

As long as he lives, Gao Jin will find it hard to secure the top seat in Shen Shui Bu.

"Go to the training ground and pick a few capable, daring fighters, and go with you to Bay Island for the mission. As for Gu Ye Bai, leave him to me."

"Fine!"

Gao Jin nodded and left the bar directly.

Ding Yao likewise gave Chen Mo three targets to eliminate: Zhong Yong Bo, Li Fu, and Liao Zhizong.

Those people are core members of the Three‑Union Gang and have already returned to Bay Island with Lei Gong's corpse.

At the same time, the three are fiercely loyal to Lei Gong.

Although Ding Yao and Gao Jie forged Lei Gong's eye, they prefer letting Lei Gong's son Lei Fu Hong succeed as the gang leader.

If it weren't for worrying about Ding Yao and Gao Jie's identities and the forged Lei Gong testament they colluded on, the three would have expelled Ding Yao long ago.

Of course, Chen Mo doesn't intend to wipe out all three of them.

Chen Mo gave the information on Zhong Yong Bo to Gao Jin.

The data on Li Fu and Liao Zhizong was handed by Chen Mo to Han Bin, with Hui Gou and Sheng Fan each receiving a copy.

Let them help Chen Mo eliminate the targets; they also have to thank Chen Mo for his support.

As for whether they can complete the mission, Chen Mo doesn't care.

Anyway, Ding Yao's people only helped Chen Mo take out Xing Shu.

A day later, Gao Jin, Hui Gou, and Sheng Fan—three groups—set out for Bay Island simultaneously.

A Tai, Gu Ye Bai, and Yi Jian departed for Macau.

A Tai chose his target, which Chen Mo didn't investigate, but Yi Jian and Gu Ye Bai both set their sights on Ding Yao.

Yi Jian bears a grudge against Ding Yao for framing him, while Gu Ye Bai does it purely to avenge Jing Ma.

Shortly after they left, Chen Mo, accompanied by a few newly discharged soldiers, also slipped quietly into Macau.

He needs to eliminate Gu Ye Bai covertly.

Moreover, the 80 million US dollars in his space also need to be laundered now.

Previously he feared the Gangdao Police Station would trace the money's whereabouts.

But now several months have passed since the cash‑transport heist, so the police's tracking intensity should have lessened.

At this point, taking it out isn't a big problem.

Upon arriving in Macau, Chen Mo checked directly into the hotel where Yu Lan Can's casino is located.

At night, Chen Mo addressed the few he brought and instructed: "Start searching from the pier, locate Gu Ye Bai's hideout as soon as possible, and keep an eye on their movements.

If you get any news, call me promptly."

Previously, people from Great Prosperity staying in Macau for business usually lodged in the casino's hotel.

Now the casino is occupied by the Three‑Union Gang, so there's no fixed lodging; finding Gu Ye Bai and others' hideouts is actually a bit of a hassle.

Fortunately, Macau is small, and there aren't many ports for smuggling.

Knowing when Gu Ye Bai's group arrives in Macau makes locating them not difficult.

After the others left, Chen Mo took a luggage bag from his space, rode the elevator, and went to the casino.

The casino's waiter saw Chen Mo carrying a bag and assumed a big client had arrived, immediately approaching him.

"Hello, sir, would you like to gamble outside or go to the VIP lounge?"

Chen Mo coldly replied, "Take me to see Can Ye; I'm here to discuss business with him."

The waiter asked cautiously, "May I ask who you are?"

Chen Mo's aura made the waiter hesitant to act too boldly.

"Just take me there directly; we already arranged it beforehand."

The waiter gave Chen Mo a glance, somewhat doubting the truth of his words.

However, after noting Chen Mo's attire, the obvious money‑filled box in his hand, and his confident tone, the waiter's doubts gradually faded.

The waiter led Chen Mo to Yu Lan Can's office doorway; without waiting for the waiter to knock, Chen Mo pushed the door open himself.

"Can Ye, long time no see."

Yu Lan Can looked up at Chen Mo, furrowing his brows, seeming displeased by the sudden intrusion.

After a moment, Yu Lan Can said uncertainly, "You are… Chen Mo?"

Chen Mo walked up to Yu Lan Can and sat down without courtesy.

"It's me; Can Ye wouldn't have forgotten me, would you?"

Yu Lan Can waved his hand, signaling the waiter at the door to leave.

"You wouldn't forget me, but why are you here again?"

As for Chen Mo, although they had only met once, he still retained some impression.

However, he didn't really like Chen Mo.

Who let the business Chen Mo agreed to with him drag on without any word? If it weren't for the fact that last time Chen Mo kept the three million he won, Yu Lan Can would still think Chen Mo was just messing with him.

"Uncle Can, you're not forgetting things just because you're important, are you? Last time our business was going well."

"I came this time, of course, to do business."

Saying that, Chen Mo placed the large luggage bag in his hand in front of Yu Lan Can.

He opened the zipper, and inside were all brand-new hundred-dollar bills.

This bag alone holds a full twenty million US dollars.

"Twenty million US dollars, converted to Hong Kong dollars, is worth about 160 million. Uncle Can, how long will it take you to launder it?"

Yu Lan Can looked at the US dollars before him, his heart shocked beyond measure.

He never expected Chen Mo to actually have that much money.

Although he had also heard of Chen Mo's reputation in the jianghu recently, this sum of money shouldn't be something Chen Mo could come up with.

However, Yu Lan Can is also a seasoned hand in the jianghu, knowing how to get to the bottom of things.

After a brief shock, his expression returned to normal.

"Indeed, as a rising star in the jianghu, you can actually pull out such a huge sum." Yu Lan Can couldn't help but praise.

"I'll arrange a gambling game right now—120 million, and we'll have it settled tonight."

"120 million?" Chen Mo blinked, Yu Lan Can proactively reduced the fee by half?

"Not bad. Considering your Great Prosperity is at war with the Triple Union Gang, I'll cut your fee in half—also as a return gift for the big present you gave me last time."

Chen Mo didn't expect that the war between Great Prosperity and the Triple Union Gang would actually bring him an unexpected benefit.

"Then thank you, Uncle Can. After a while, I'll bring another batch of money over."

Yu Lan Can responded happily: "Sure thing, need money laundering, come find me anytime."

Yu Lan Can proactively halved the fee for Chen Mo, although the fact that Great Prosperity is again at war with the Triple Union Gang played a part, but mostly it was to make money for himself.

The Triple Union Gang is doomed to not survive in Macau; withdrawing is just a matter of time.

Once the Triple Union Gang leaves, those two casinos will still belong to Great Prosperity.

Once Chen Mo launders this sum, he can earn over twenty million.

Yu Lan Can did this to keep Chen Mo as a client, lest Chen Mo launder the money in Great Prosperity's own casino.
