Chapter 198: Macau Affairs Concluded

A few hours later, Chen Mo sat at the gambling table, flipped his cards again, and they were the highest once more.

At this point, chips were already piled up in front of him.

The people at the table and the dealer were all specially arranged by Yu Lan Can, just to let Chen Mo win a clean 120 million.

This is the most common method casinos use for money laundering.

Under normal circumstances, no one can win 120 million in a single casino.

Even if your gambling skill is superb, you still can't keep winning endlessly in one casino.

Winning a few million is still tolerable for the casino; winning tens of millions, however, makes it almost impossible to walk out alive.

After the game ended, a server behind Chen Mo walked over and whispered, "Mo Ge, you've already won 120 million."

Chen Mo nodded, got up, and left the table.

"Just transfer my money to my account."

"Alright, Mo Ge, the money will be in your account by tomorrow morning."

Leaving the casino, Chen Mo returned to his own room.

The next day, the moment Chen Mo woke up, he called the bank.

After confirming that the 120 million had arrived, Chen Mo let out a sigh of relief.

Yu Lan Can wasn't up to any tricks.

After breakfast, Chen Mo contacted the subordinates he had brought in yesterday.

After a night's effort, they had located Gu Ye Bai's hideout and were quietly watching him.

Chen Mo then called Ding Yao, asking her to meet at the hotel.

He didn't know how many previous owners the car had, but the driving experience was superb; Chen Mo didn't intend to keep it, yet taking a few more shares was still fine.

Half an hour later, Ding Yao disguised herself and quietly entered Chen Mo's room.

The two met, said nothing, went straight to the point, and began an in‑depth discussion lasting over an hour.

When the session ended, Chen Mo held a cigarette in one hand and toyed with Ding Yao's conscience in the other.

"You should take the Three‑Union Gang members back to Wan Island."

Ding Yao's finger traced across Chen Mo's chest, her seductive eyes looking at him: "Is staying in Macau to make amends not fine?"

For this physically strong man who only goes for the flesh and not the heart, Ding Yao felt a strong desire to dominate him.

Every man she's ever toyed with before has been turned around, but Chen Mo always treats her without pretense; even in bed, he remains the passive one.

"You should know that you Wan Island people have no chance in Macau; leaving is only a matter of time.

My people have already reached Wan Island; in a few days they'll be able to eliminate the person you want gone.

If you can sit securely as the Three‑Union Gang leader, you should be content."

Chen Mo is currently in Sage Time, so no matter how seductive Ding Yao's tone is, it cannot stir any emotion in him.

The deal between Ding Yao and him is clandestine.

Although only the two of them know about it now, there's no evidence left.

But there's no wall in the world that's completely airtight.

No one can guarantee that nobody will later discover the irregularities.

Only if Ding Yao leaves Macau early for Wan Island, or simply dies, will it be safest.

However, until necessary, Chen Mo still doesn't want to take a hit on Ding Yao.

"We finally secured the Taipa casino; it'll open in a few days. Even if I wanted to pull back from Wan Island now, others wouldn't agree."

Ding Yao couldn't accept Chen Mo's suggestion.

She is now acting as the proxy gang leader, but few truly obey her.

If she can't produce enough achievements to win the majority's recognition, even though Chen Mo helped her eliminate a few of her biggest opponents, she'll have to hand over the gang‑leader seat in three years.

Nothing is a bigger achievement than establishing a foothold in Macau.

"Great Prosperity's people have already come to Macau to move against you. Are you sure you still want to stay here?"

"I'm your woman now; you'll definitely protect me, right?"

Saying that, Ding Yao slowly slid down until she curled up under the blanket.

"Sss—" Chen Mo inhaled a sharp breath of cold air.

This little demon, even Sage Time can't withstand!

The second battle rang out.

Another hour‑plus of fighting.

"Great Prosperity's people arrived last night near Xinglong Street by the Taipa pier; if you send someone now, you might catch them off guard."

Ding Yao, still dressed, complained, "Can't you just deal with them directly for me?"

"Damn, they're our Great Prosperity brothers; how could I strike my own people?"

A little over half an hour later, Chen Mo's subordinates called.

"Mo Ge, Gu Ye Bai's people are surrounded by the Three‑Union Gang, but Gu Ye Bai escaped."

Chen Mo muttered a curse at the Three‑Union Gang's waste.

"Where is Gu Ye Bai now?"

"He's injured and hiding, but the brothers have been keeping watch on him as you ordered."

"Good, you handle it, make it clean."

Gu Ye Bai's subordinates don't matter; Gu Ye Bai must die.

That night, Chen Mo's men returned.

"Mo Ge, it's all taken care of."

"Good." Chen Mo nodded, took out a stack of cash, "Here's your bonus. Go book a room and rest well; tomorrow morning we'll return to Gangdao."

Gu Ye Bai was taken care of, the money was laundered, and Chen Mo naturally had no reason to stay in Macau any longer.

Meanwhile, Bay Island.

With the intelligence provided by Ding Yao, Gao Jin easily tracked Zhong Yong Bo's whereabouts.

Although Zhong Yong Bo is an elder of the Three Union Gang and has many underlings, he is considered one of the most respected figures within the gang.

But he personally prefers to keep a low profile.

He doesn't live in a mansion or drive a luxury car; when he has free time, he likes to stay at his own fish stall.

If not for the few goons constantly at his side, anyone seeing him wouldn't think he's a triad boss.

As night fell, Gao Jin led a few veterans, taking advantage of the darkness to silently scale the wall and enter an ordinary residential complex.

A few minutes later, the group, all wearing black scarves and masks, appeared at Zhong Yong Bo's doorstep.

After easily prying open the door, they rushed inside.

Following a brief commotion, Zhong Yong Bo had his throat twisted by Gao Jin's own hand.

Zhong Yong Bo's family members were also knocked unconscious and piled together.

One of the goons pointed at Zhong Yong Bo's wife and children and asked, "Brother Jin, what should we do with these people?"

"Forget it; they're just ordinary people, no need to deal with them."

Hearing Gao Jin say that, the goons all let out a sigh of relief.

Although they are veterans who have killed many on the battlefield and now work for the triad, killing ordinary people still crosses a line they can't get past mentally.

Fortunately, Gao Jin isn't a bloodthirsty killer, so he didn't force them to act.

After taking out Zhong Yong Bo, they drove through the night and returned to the smuggler's pier.

At this moment, Hui Gou and Sheng Fan had not yet returned.

They only had the basic target information supplied by Chen Mo, lacking the follow‑up intel from Ding Yao, making the job harder.

Gao Jin didn't wait for them; he directly contacted the snakehead and boarded a ship to leave.

After all, Bay Island isn't his own turf; to avoid trouble in the long night, it's safer to return to Gangdao early.
