Chapter 605: Only He Can Help You
Zhuhai and Macau are separated by a mere strip of water.
Standing on the shore of Zhuhai, one can clearly see the objects Macau people pull out when they urinate on the opposite side. It is only a finger's width of distance, yet one side is heaven, and the other is the human world.
Ever since Su Juan and Su Mei followed their cousin, their lives were basically spent in high-end hotels.
The cousin specifically rented rooms for them in high-end hotels, picking up people coming out of casinos from the Gongbei Customs gate every day and sending them to the hotel. Su Juan and Su Mei initially went to separate rooms, but later they met a pair of nouveau riche from the mainland who said that separating wasn't exciting enough and insisted that the four of them play on one bed.
Su Juan refused, but Su Mei didn't care. The guests said that as long as they agreed, they would pay double.
Su Juan still refused, but it was Su Mei who came to work on her thoughts. She said that their original intention was to make money, and since they had already lost their shame, why bother caring about the last thin veil?
In a year, Su Mei had simply become a different person. In the past, she would blush when talking about men, but now she could strip herself completely naked in front of Su Juan and sit on a man's lap, feeding him milk mouth-to-mouth.
Su Juan always maintained her bottom line. In her view, people reaching this point today was forced by life. But as a woman, one must remember shame.
Su Mei didn't care; as long as the money was good, she was willing to do anything.
The final result of the compromise was that the four of them were in one room, but not on one bed.
Su Juan compromised because there was still beauty remaining in the depths of her heart. She thought that everyone would be like her and keep their promises. The truth was, the men crawling on them would get up halfway and switch them.
At this point, even if Su Juan wanted to resist, it was meaningless. On the contrary, Su Mei didn't have the slightest intention of refusing, smiling as she watched the man crawl over Su Juan and lie on her.
The last layer of paper was finally poked through, and for them, shame no longer existed in the dictionary.
From then on, the story of two people serving one man began to unfold. In the flower-and-willow fields of Zhuhai at that time, Su Juan and Su Mei became the girls that all men were willing to spend ten thousand gold to see.
The cousin could initially control them, but later he felt increasingly powerless. Su Juan and Su Mei knew more men than he did, and they were more formidable.
The cousin initially wanted to hold onto the two cornucopias to get rich, until one day he was chased into a corner by several big men, who raised their knives and sliced off half his palm, only then did he disappear from Su Juan and Su Mei's lives in a dejected manner.
Without the cousin, Su Juan and Su Mei were like birds released from a cage; they flew higher, and their horizons widened.
They began to ponder life in Macau across the way, but unfortunately, they had no documents and didn't even have the chance to step over half a step.
Such an opportunity finally arrived one day. A snakehead who specialized in smuggling heard the news and came to find them. After a soul-stirring time, Su Mei proposed that she didn't want money, as long as he could take them to the opposite shore, they were willing to serve him for a lifetime.
This was too easy for the snakehead. Those who could do this business not only had people on the mainland, but were they just rootless duckweed in Macau?
After some maneuvering, one dark and windy night, Su Juan and Su Mei boarded his boat. First, they ran to the high seas, ran for the time it takes to eat a meal, and then turned back. By the time Su Juan and Su Mei came to their senses, their feet were already stepping on the beach of Macau.
They drove away the cousin, and then came a snakehead.
The cousin still remembered the kinship, and could at least understand people to some extent. The snakehead was different; he was simply a devil who ate meat without spitting out the bones.
The snakehead had a background in the underworld. As soon as Su Juan and the others went ashore, they were controlled by several burly men. From then on, they began to live a life without light.
Such a life was completely changed when they accidentally met Su Ya.
When Su Ya met Su Juan and the others, she was already accompanied by Lao Can.
Lao Can was a famous "thousand-handed" (gambler) in Macau, and people in the underworld had to give him some face. Before Lao Can became "crippled," he was not only handsome and dashing but also particularly warm-hearted. Precisely because of this personality, people in both the black and white worlds had to respectfully call him "Big Brother" when they saw him.
Lao Can was righteous and generous with money. Although he had won countless amounts of money, he didn't have much savings around him. This was all because he was generous; as long as someone said they were in trouble, he would throw out stacks of money without a word.
Su Ya herself was not a person who loved money. The two met, and although their life was comfortable, they didn't have a penny in their hands.
Su Juan met Su Ya in a supermarket when she was out buying women's sanitary products.
Su Ya happened to be in the supermarket with Lao Can. Seeing a man grabbing a woman and slapping her, Su Ya went over to stop it, not expecting the other party to think she was meddling and, being a woman, raise a foot and kick Su Ya to the wall.
All of this was seen by Lao Can. His beloved woman was beaten; how could this be allowed? He immediately called dozens of brothers and beat the man who kicked Su Ya until he was bleeding from his seven orifices and half-dead.
The other party naturally wouldn't accept it and also called people over. Both sides openly set up a field at the entrance of the supermarket.
The snakehead appeared at this time. As soon as he saw it was Lao Can, his face turned pale with fright.
One must know that in Macau, any casino boss had to welcome Lao Can with a smiling face. A small snakehead like him was not even a hair in Lao Can's eyes.
Both sides shook hands and made peace. Just as they were about to disperse, Su Juan refused to go with the snakehead and the others no matter what. She dragged Su Ya's hand and begged her to save her.
Su Ya's heart softened, and she also went to beg Lao Can to save the sisters.
Lao Can's generosity and righteousness were brought into full play. He didn't act recklessly; he opened his mouth to ask the other party how much money it would take to release them!
The snakehead didn't dare to ask for more, but he was unwilling to let go of the two treasures, Su Juan and Su Mei, so he smiled and said: "Big Brother, whatever you want."
Lao Can didn't say a word, took out a check from his pocket, and with a big wave, wrote down one million.
The snakehead smiled with a drooling face and said: "Big Brother, there are two of them."
Lao Can was stunned. His check just now had overdrawn all his money, and he couldn't take out another million to save the other woman.
Seeing that she couldn't save Su Mei, Su Juan refused to leave. This made Su Ya anxious; the thing she did out of a soft heart had ended up in a situation she couldn't control.
Just at this time, Lao Can proposed to gamble with the other party.
The other party agreed to gamble, but refused to gamble on things like poker or mahjong, saying that if they were going to gamble, they would gamble on license plates.
It was that both sides would watch the cars driving by on the opposite side and bet on whether the last digit of the license plate was odd or even. If both were correct, they would bet on what the last digit was.
Such gambling had no technicality at all and relied entirely on luck. Seeing Lao Can hesitate and not take the bait, the other party triumphantly wanted to take Su Juan away.
Lao Can shouted: "Fine, I'll gamble with you. However, I want to add a stake."
The snakehead agreed, saying whatever. Anyway, it was fifty-fifty, and whose grasp was in the hands of God.
Seeing that he agreed, Lao Can said: "I bet a leg. Whoever loses must cut off a leg."
This stake was a bit scary. After thinking for a long time, the snakehead had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. If he didn't agree, according to the rules of the casino, he would be considered the loser.
As a result, the two stood with their backs to the road, and the heads or tails of a coin decided who would speak first.
The coin was tossed, and Lao Can spoke first.
Lao Can didn't even think and said: "Even number, the last digit is 8."
Lao Can had already said even number, so the snakehead couldn't say even number. He could only guess odd number, or 0.
As a result, when the car passed by, it was indeed an even number, and the last digit happened to be 0.
The snakehead was so scared that his face turned earthy gray, but in front of Lao Can, he didn't dare to renege, so he had to have Su Mei brought over, handed over the check Lao Can had written out with both hands, and then raised a knife, gritting his teeth to cut his leg.
At the critical moment, Lao Can reached out to save him. He smiled and said: "Actually, we people all have the same ancestors. Why kill each other? If every one of us goes back a thousand years, everyone has a blood relationship."
The snakehead didn't dare to say a word, bowed his head and worshipped, saying repeatedly: "As long as Big Brother looks up to this brother, I am willing to bring my brothers to join Big Brother's group."
Lao Can waved his hand to refuse, saying: "I am not underworld, and I don't want to be underworld."
From then on, Su Juan and Su Mei followed Su Ya.
Su Ya worked as a dealer in the casino, and her income was not low, so raising two people was not a problem at all.
Su Mei followed Su Ya to the casino a few times, and after returning, she clamored to learn how to be a dealer. But being a dealer wasn't something you could do just because you wanted to; you had to have a casino willing to train and take you in.
Su Ya took Su Mei to find the person in charge of the casino. The person in charge took a fancy to Su Mei at a glance and immediately let Su Ya take Su Mei to learn.
Before Su Mei learned to be a dealer, she had a beautiful wish: to rely on her skills and beauty to get into the VIP room.
One must know that being a dealer in the VIP room, the tips for a single day were no less than six figures, and if one met a noble person, the income for one day could buy a house in Zhuhai.
People who work as dealers all have a highest ideal, and that is to be a dealer in the VIP room.
Su Mei practiced being a dealer, and Su Juan couldn't just be idle. The two of them were inseparable, so Su Juan also practiced with Su Ya. The three women were naturally bright-eyed and white-toothed, radiant and moving, and added with light makeup, they were even more like the eyebrows of the spring mountains, bright and moving. Standing in the center of the casino, they were like a painting of ancient Chinese ladies.
People who come to gamble all hope for a good mood, and even if they lose, seeing such beautiful beauties, their mood would be much brighter.
The casino boss treated the three of them as if he had picked up a treasure, caring for them in every way, fearing that some accident would happen and they would be snatched away by other casinos. By the time Lao Can had his accident, Su Juan and Su Mei had already become dealers dealing cards at the big tables in the main hall.
Chen Meng and I listened to these stories and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Su Ya woke up from her memories, smiled shyly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Chen Meng with infinite sincerity: "Reporter Chen, we are three lives now, and I have handed all three of our lives to you."
Chen Meng was startled, waving her hands and saying: "Sister Su Ya, don't scare me. I'm just a small reporter, how much help can I be to you? The one who can really help you is him."
She pointed at me, her face wearing a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
I suddenly had a strong feeling, as if I were a duck driven onto a red-hot iron plate. ===== CHAPTER 606 =====
