Chapter 459

Lao Fu Tou asked: "Is it done?"

Mei Wu also looked over; this also involved him.

Chen Lao Da, Chen Shui, Gu Jianfa, Guang Liangjun, Lao Tan, Gao Kang and others, by linking points into lines, through Wu An's scheming, finally wove a net that ensnared all of them.

Pull a single hair and the whole body moves.

Wu An smiled: "I guess so."

"This is just the beginning."

"As for whether we can follow the plan going forward, I have no idea."

He said that with his mouth, but his attitude is another matter.

He told A Jin to keep watch and contact him immediately if anything happened.

Lao Fu Tou asked: "Won't someone see through it?"

Wu An shook his head: "What to see through? Gao Kang was set up, so they went after Gu Jianfa; Gu Jianfa had no money, so he went to borrow; Chen Lao Da hiring thugs to hurt people is a fact; Mei Wu being targeted by Chen Shui is also Chen Lao Da's doing."

"This has nothing to do with us."

"Even if investigated, it's they who have problems."

What Wu An did was merely to exploit gaps, pull strings, build bridges, and borrow a knife to kill.

For this.

Gao Qiangqi also gave him a layer of insurance; even if exposed, it would be A Jin who gets implicated.

Lao Fu Tou listened, fell silent for a while, then said: "A An, what you said is all correct, but to understand the situation so clearly and easily grasp the situation—this ability is remarkable."

Wu An smiled: "I'm just a bit luckier, have a few more friends; when trouble comes, someone is willing to lend a hand."

Lao Fu Tou: "That's real ability."

Mei Wu opened his mouth, feeling stifled; Lao Fu Tou has learned to be bad, not leaving any chance to flatter for the young.

Lao Tan's loan center.

The three-story office of the small building.

"He is the family's only son; the family has a homestead and a house."

"Boss Tan, my brother is in trouble now, but after getting past this, things will definitely be different."

"His niece looks like a celestial maiden."

"He's engaged to the son of the village head of Xixi Village."

"You know what I mean."

Guang Liangjun, as an intermediary, put on a fawning face toward Lao Tan and laid out Gu Jianfa's situation.

Lao Tan said: "We are a legitimate company."

Guang Liangjun: "Yes yes yes."

But inside he was complaining: who would a legitimate company's boss constantly say "We are a legitimate company"?

Lao Tan, somewhat displeased at being interrupted, threw the documents on the table and said: "Cut the nonsense; we've already done a background check on you two—your qualifications only allow a loan of 20,000, and you must take it together."

"This is an agreement."

"If you agree, sign and I'll release the funds immediately."

Guang Liangjun picked up the document on the table, looked at it, a bit dazed, because it turned out to be a labor contract, and asked: "Boss Tan, what does this mean?"

Lao Tan didn't speak; Lao Wu beside him shouted: "What do you mean, what do you mean? It's literally what it says—if you can't repay the money, you'll have to work to pay it off, got it?"

Guang Liangjun quickly nodded.

Gu Jianfa still wanted to examine it carefully; Lao Tan over there made a call, saying there was business, telling them not to delay proper work; Guang Liangjun hurriedly said: "I've looked, I've looked—Boss Tan is into big business, he definitely won't screw us over."

"Let's sign now."

"Sign."

Guang Liangjun signed his name, and Gu Jianfa followed suit.

Got the money.

The two were taken out by Lao Wu; just as they stepped outside, Guang Liangjun wanted to split the money, taking five thousand; according to his qualifications, he originally couldn't even enter the small building, although the risk was the same, he could only take five thousand.

Gu Jianfa kept ten thousand, saying: "This ten thousand must not be touched; Gao Kang's gang only beat me, hurting me half to death, though I have no serious injuries, they just want to torture me alive."

"You tell me, how are today's youngsters so terrifying?"

"This money must be repaid first."

"The remaining five thousand will be used to turn things around."

The two, arms around each other's shoulders, hurried straight to the newly opened venue in another village.

A Jin personally kept watch, following them all the way, seeing Guang Liangjun and Gu Jianfa enter the venue.

He did not go in.

But he knew what this place was for.

He called Wu An.

The call didn't go through.

He called the satellite phone; it took a while before it connected.

A Jin excitedly shouted: "An Ge, you're truly divine! You were right—after Gu Jianfa and the other got the money, they went to the venue to gamble."

Wu An smiled.

Having reached this point, what fate awaits Gu Jianfa next is no longer in doubt.

"Wanting to turn things around by gambling."

He simply couldn't understand why gamblers have this inexplicable confidence.

"A Jin, thanks."

"From now on you don't need to stare; Gu Jianfa and the other won't come out unless they lose all their money, so tell Gao Kang to have them keep watch."

"Remember to throw away the SIM card."

"If Gao Kang can't get the money, he can only rely on beating Gu Jianfa to make up for the loss, and he will beat Gu Jianfa even worse."

"If you push Gu Jianfa into a desperate situation, then to save his life he will definitely be capable of anything."

"By then."

"If Gu Jianfa knew he was being chased and beaten by Gao Kang and others, that Chen Lao Da hired someone to do it, what would he do?"

"Anyway, he can't repay the money."

"Gu Jianfa has only one way out: to fight to the death."

"Chen Lao Da hired someone, Gao Kang and his gang injured people, Gu Jianfa is the victim, a perfect love triangle; once it comes to light, who could have imagined that he's involved as well? Even if we know there's something but can't investigate it, we can only deal with it according to the information we currently have."

"Wu An also didn't intend to use this matter to mess with Chen Lao Da, after all no serious consequences were caused, you can't send someone to tread a sewing machine."

"He just wants to make a big fuss about this matter."

"Hiring someone to injure people, how terrifying."

"If he can hire people to injure others, he dares to kill; who would still dare to associate with such a person?"

"In the city, if you close your door, even neighbors won't associate with you, but in the village it's different; once you're isolated in the village, the consequences are very frightening."

"Adding Chen Shui's matter, a two-pronged approach is enough to ruin Chen Lao Da's reputation and standing in the village."

"After chatting with A Jin for a while and hanging up, Wu An squatted down to continue baiting the longline fishing gear; that's the real work."

"Old Fu Tou steered the boat."

"The three of them weren't idle along the way; upon reaching the target sea area, they first retrieved the crab pots, found the buoys, and it was still Wu An who hooked the buoys, tied the ropes, operated the winch, and soon the first row of crab pots was hauled up."

"Old Fu Tou looked at the crab pots hauled onto the deck and asked, 'How's the catch?'"

"A Qing dumped out the catch and said, 'Not bad, mainly orchid crabs, quite a few, several dozen jin.'"

"Old Fu Tou smiled and nodded."

"That's not bad."

"Wu An watched the winch, while A Qing and Mei Wu squatted down to sort and bundle; A Qing rummaged a bit, found a white butterfly clam, and happily held it up, saying, 'Brother, there's actually a white butterfly clam in the crab pot.'"

"Wu An came upon hearing the news."
