Chapter 305: It's none of our business

A Qing wasn't convinced, saying, "Look at how scared you are; even if that guy is ruthless, wouldn't he still be arrested?"

A Jin shook his head. "If only it were that simple."

"This venue in our town isn't up to par, so the boss himself has to come oversee it."

"Don't be fooled by the number of arrests; they're all small fry, no big fish caught."

Wu An asked, "Who's the boss behind this?"

A Jin said, "He's from the county."

"He's a ruthless character, not someone to mess with."

"You know Lao Tan is the local tyrant around here, right?"

"When that guy came to set up shop here, he went head-to-head with Lao Tan, and Lao Tan backed down."

"Later they even cooperated—Lao Tan borrowed money, and they made money from gambling."

Wu An fell into thought.

He seemed to have seen a news report saying they were one of the biggest black evil forces in the area.

In comparison.

Lao Tan was just a small-time player.

He didn't even qualify to make the news.

At least he hadn't seen Lao Tan's name in the news; he'd only heard it from others.

No matter what, it had nothing to do with him, and he would do everything to avoid any involvement with these people.

In the end, after a few years, dust returns to dust, earth to earth.

Before the rolling wheels of history, everything is as insignificant as clay chickens and tile dogs.

A Qing patted A Jin on the shoulder and said, "Then you're pretty awesome."

"You managed to take down such a formidable figure."

"If this got out, you'd have some standing in the martial world."

A Jin gave a wry smile. "No, no, no—fame brings danger, and wealth invites trouble; that could get you killed."

"What on earth is going on?"

"How did I get involved in this? I'm still completely clueless."

"How come I didn't realize I was this badass?"

Wu An coughed twice, lowered his voice, and told Chen Baosheng, who had just woken up, about the situation at the gambling house.

A Jin suddenly understood. "Oh, that's how it is."

"To be honest, I'm just a knife that An Ge wields."

"It's An Ge who plans everything, playing everyone like pawns in his palm."

Saying that, he sucked in a breath of cold air. "An Ge, did you already foresee this would happen?"

Wu An laughed and cried at once. "I'm not that divine."

"To be honest, I'm just as bewildered as anyone else by how far this has gone."

Sometimes events unfold with drama; even the most careful plan can go awry.

So plans can't keep up with changes.

Fortunately, things are developing in his favor, and they won't implicate him.

A Jin didn't believe it. "Give me the lowdown."

Before Wu An could speak, A Qing pulled him, waved his hand, and said, "Don't press further."

"My older brother would never admit to it."

"Anyway, we just know he's incredibly capable."

A Jin nodded in agreement. "No wonder he can be friends with the boss."

"Both of them are old schemers."

"They have scheme after scheme."

Wu An: "……"

Hearing A Qing and A Jin say that, he felt a little smug inside, secretly thinking it would be great if it were really his scheming.

A Jin exclaimed excitedly, "Looking at this, Chen Baosheng is as good as dead!"

"I was wondering why you didn't let me go for the kill earlier—turns out you kept such a big trump card."

"Using a knife to kill someone—brilliant, truly brilliant."

A Qing wore an "I-knew-it-all-along" expression and smugly said, "Actually I already knew."

"My older brother used to be a street rat, everyone called him trash—guess what?"

"My older brother just pulled a few tricks and instantly transformed into a hero of 'Seeing Justice and Courage'."

"Chen Long's grandson was still living in the courtyard when he got arrested."

"The Chen family is nothing—provoked my brother, and they've got eight generations of bad luck coming!"

"Let me put it this way—this matter is definitely not over yet."

Having said that, he spat with a look of contempt.

A Jin looked curious. "An Ge, any more tricks up your sleeve? Give us a heads-up."

"……" Wu An was speechless; frankly, he also really wanted to know.

A Jin was right.

"The venue has been swept clean; the boss behind it will surely be angry, and when angry he'll need to vent—so he'll seek the culprit, making Chen Baosheng's fate easy to predict."

"No matter how it turns out, he'll definitely have to suffer."

"He deserved it." Wu An thought to himself; if it weren't for him striking first, things wouldn't have come to this.

However, how Chen Baosheng's fate turns out has nothing to do with him anymore.

He actually cared about the other two people he knew in the casino: Guang Liangjun and Gu Jianfa.

Don't forget.

The dirty water used to attack Chen Baosheng, he actually splashed it onto Gu Jianfa's body.

Can Chen Baosheng swallow this anger?

If the casino's behind-the-scenes boss wants to pursue Chen Baosheng, can Chen Baosheng bear it?

Will Chen Baosheng speak up about the situation caused by his own attack, shifting the blame onto Gu Jianfa?

If Gu Jianfa could be implicated, the fun would be even greater.

Wu An also knew he was being somewhat presumptuous.

Things might not necessarily develop as he thought, but he could try to guide them.

Man proposes.

Heaven disposes.

Whether we can use this matter to deal with Gu Jianfa depends on whether Heaven gives us face.

As he was pondering, a familiar clear voice came from beside him: "A An, what are you doing here?"

Wu An turned his head and saw Gu Anran on a motorcycle, he jerked his chin toward the blocked shack and said, "Just watching the excitement."

Gu Anran parked his bike, walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

Wu An lowered his voice: "The casino has been raided."

Gu Anran widened his eyes: "Really?"

Wu An asked: "Is Gu Jianfa at the casino today?"

Gu Anran nodded somewhat excitedly.

Wu An smiled: "Come get in the car."

"I heard nobody has come out yet; later we should be able to see."

He pulled Gu Anran into the car.

……

"Everyone, hold your heads and walk out, be honest; the outside is already tightly sealed, trying to escape now is impossible."

Someone shouted loudly.

"Those in the back watch those in front; if someone tries to escape, just help catch them, and it counts as merit."

"One after another."

"Don't be chaotic!"

Several police officers pressed people outward.

No way.

Too many people.

Their handcuffs were given to the casino operators; those participating in gambling don't need handcuffs, and if anyone really tried to escape, it would be like running into a gun barrel.

These gamblers, one after another, walked out.

Guang Liangjun was in front, Gu Jianfa in back.

"They said the casino boss had connections everywhere, so how did he get swept away?"

"Who knows."

"Anyway, we're just participating in gambling, the stakes aren't high, we'll be released soon."

"That's right."

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

"Don't panic."

"You say don't panic, why are your legs shaking?"

"We've been squatting too long."
