Chapter 100

Zhao Cong then said: "The gambling industry is very lucrative, and the money earned from it cannot see the light of day."

Money not earned from legitimate work, no matter how much, can only be spent on eating, drinking, and entertainment, so Zhu Luo has never engaged in any proper business.

Xiao Ming, to be honest, I don't think highly of Zhu Luo personally; he has some money, but his background is too complicated, and those in business fear getting involved with such people.

I heard that the Xilin gambling hall hasn't been good business these past few years, so Zhu Luo took up the trade his father once did, using his wealth to deliberately approach some wealthy young masters, then, under various pretexts, lead those acquaintances to the casino, step by step into a big pit.

Usually we all know that gambling is something to avoid; once you get in, it's basically hell—how many people lose everything, and those wealthy young masters who have ruined their families completely are many.

After leaving, when they finally come to their senses, it's already too late; because they cannot accept reality or feel ashamed toward their families and choose suicide, there are far too many.

Speaking, Zhao Cong gave a mocking smile: "Zhu Luo has many sports cars and a private jet; when idle he likes to drive those cars or fly his plane out for a stroll, seeking various targets. His actions make others think he is a very wealthy young master, and his emotional intelligence is very high—he's good at reading people, and basically anyone he sets his sights on cannot escape."

As he spoke, Zhao Cong looked doubtfully at Xiao Ming and asked: "Could it be that Zhu Luo is tired of living and has reached out his hand toward you?"

"Indeed, that's the kind of person he is." Xiao Ming said with a light smile, though his smile didn't reach his eyes, giving off an inexplicable sense of danger.

Such Xiao Ming made Zhao Cong feel an inexplicable chill.

"Today I've made you run an errand, thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Ming glanced lightly at General Manager Zhao: "When you have time, I'll treat you; I'll invite you and your son to a meal."

Meaning to drive them away!

Zhao Cong didn't feel any embarrassment either; since Xiao Ming had said that, it meant he was giving them father and son an opportunity to get on good terms with Xiao Ming.

He said bluntly: "Okay, okay, this is just a trivial matter, Xiao Ming, you're being polite; if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

Afterwards, Zhao Cong prepared to leave the Xiao Family.

"Huh?" He had just taken two steps when he saw an extremely beautiful girl coming from outside the door; at first glance, her eyebrows and bearing resembled Xiao Ming's greatly.

"Is this Xiao Ming's daughter?" Zhao Cong also didn't dare be too bold; he glanced and then looked away, walking on, but just that one glance left him stunned by the girl.

"Daddy!" Xiao Yuchun had finished her skincare, and upon entering the door she happened to see Zhao Cong walking out: "Daddy, that's the Zhao Cong whom everyone in the circle knows!"

"Mm, yes."

"What?" Xiao Yuchun looked at Xiao Ming in disbelief, exclaiming: "Daddy, how did you summon him to our home?"

"I have something to discuss with him, nothing major." Xiao Ming replied lightly.

At this point, Xiao Ming had more or less digested the information Zhao Cong brought; regardless of whether Zhao Cong's words were true, and regardless of who Zhu Luo was, what could he possibly do to Xiao Ming's son?

That's simply daydreaming!

However, it's just Zhu Luo; to deal with him, Xiao Ming only needs to say a few words.

Regarding Xiao Yunzhe, Xiao Ming didn't plan to let him know the truth too soon; as the saying goes, suffering a loss is a blessing—he merely wanted to give his son a chance to train and broaden his horizons.

Suffering a small loss can help the son remember longer, which is good; his son, however, suffers from qi deficiency.

Only if Zhu Luo dares to act against Xiao Yunzhe will Xiao Ming certainly make that Zhu Luo, and the Honghuan Group behind him, die miserably.

This is Xiao Ming: if you don't offend me, I won't offend you; if you offend me, casualties will be severe.

Actually, Xiao Ming previously had some dealings with that gambling king; even now, the several major casinos in Xilin still have an inseparable major entanglement with Xiao Ming.

Dealing with the Honghuan Group alone is too easy.

After Xiao Ming communicated with the Xilin side, he curled his lips, went to the living room, where his eldest daughter Xiao Yuchun was waiting for him to go out and play together.

"Yuchun, do you want to go play at the amusement park? Let's set off."

"Hehe, okay, thank you Daddy!"

Xiao Yuchun, cheerful like a little rabbit, after making simple preparations to go out, father and daughter headed straight for the amusement park.

They went to a medium-level amusement park, the location chosen by Xiao Yuchun.

Upon arriving at the amusement park, Xiao Yuchun was overjoyed, chattering to Xiao Ming about the attractions she wanted to try.

Daddy, there's a fortune-telling master over there. Xiao Yuchun, upon seeing the fortune-telling stall outside the amusement park, immediately happily pulled Xiao Ming over.

Xiao Ming, helpless, had no choice but to follow her.

"Daddy, let's go have our fortunes told," Xiao Yuchun said cheerfully.

Seeing his daughter so interested, Xiao Ming nodded in agreement, and after he and his daughter sat down in the chairs before the fortune-teller, he asked: "Sir, could you please tell my fortune?"

"No problem!" Seeing customers arrive, the fortune-teller hurriedly brought out his utmost enthusiasm for serving clients: "Who goes first?"

"Daddy, you go first," Xiao Yuchun immediately replied.

Xiao Ming nodded and gave his birth year and month.

The fortune-teller silently muttered some words Xiao Ming couldn't understand; after a while, he asked Xiao Ming: "Sir, what would you like to ask?"

Xiao Yuchun suddenly got playful, saying to the fortune-teller: "Tell me what my daddy does for a living."

After the fortune-teller muttered softly for a bit, he said: "He's in business."

Xiao Yuchun, surprised, continued asking: "How is his business doing?"

The fortune-teller said: "To be frank, don't blame me, sir, this gentleman's business isn't doing well."

Upon hearing the fortune-teller's words, Xiao Ming gave a light smile and didn't have much other reaction.

On the other hand, Xiao Yuchun, upon hearing that, showed a face full of disdain, feeling this was just a liar, wasting emotions too much.

She was about to speak when she said, "The fortune-teller's reading isn't any good either."

Seeing the fortune-teller continue speaking, given basic courtesy, Xiao Yuchun did not interrupt him.

The fortune-teller's subsequent words left Xiao Ming dumbfounded.

"Sir, you are indeed in the video business, right? Looking at your fortune, it's all small-time scuffles, you can't make money; just being able to secure food and clothing would be good. Moreover, I calculated that in your twenty-fifth year, you also encountered a blood disaster."

Upon hearing about the blood disaster, Xiao Yuchun became unwilling, angrily saying: "Old sir, you can't tell fortunes; just stop deceiving people—why are you still spouting nonsense here?"
