Chapter 1539: So That's How It Is

"I do indeed have other matters, I am just taking a good rest during these few days on the ship," Chen Yu laughed.

"Is that so? What do you do for a living?" Wu Siyu asked.

"No fixed occupation, I make my home wherever I go," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Really?" Wu Siyu looked at Chen Yu with an expression of disbelief.

"Of course it's true, I have no reason to lie to you," Chen Yu laughed and said.

"But the night before last, I saw you and Meng Ge's group gambling at the table," Wu Siyu said. "That group are VIP clients on our ship; they bet very heavily, starting at 10 million per round."

"If you really don't have a fixed occupation, how could it be possible for you to be playing cards with them?"

"I have no fixed occupation, but that doesn't mean I don't have money," Chen Yu smiled faintly.

As a Dharma Cultivator, he already treated money as just a string of numbers. Not to mention his own assets, if his parents' assets were added together, no matter how he spent it, he would never finish it.

What's more, he was a Dharma Cultivator; his Medicine and abilities were such that whenever he went out, people would bring cash to beg for his help. A person like him did not need to worry about money.

"Then how do you make money? Can you teach me?" Wu Siyu said half-jokingly.

"My way of making money is quite special, you probably couldn't learn it," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "And everyone has their own Dao; there is no need for you to deliberately ask others how they live."

"Alright, I admit asking that question was inappropriate," Wu Siyu smiled awkwardly and said. "But regardless, I'm very happy to have met you."

"I am quite honored as well," Chen Yu gave a faint smile.

"I've eaten just about enough, how about you?" Wu Siyu asked, swirling the red wine in her hand.

"I've finished eating too," Chen Yu nodded. He felt that what followed was the important part that would get to the point.

"I've already settled the bill, I'm going to the restroom." Wu Siyu glanced at the entrance of the restaurant and saw several burly men rushing toward her side.

She took the opportunity to zip up her bag, then flashed and disappeared into the crowd.

"Well, every woman is a natural-born actor; I've fallen for a woman's trick again," Chen Yu said with some helplessness.

Sure enough, the several burly men rushed through the crowd and arrived at Chen Yu's side, looking left and right as if searching for someone.

"Big Brother, that woman ran off again," a bald man said to a person with a long scar on his face.

"Damn it, she runs really fast," Dabaolian said viciously. "The ship is only this big, I don't believe we can't catch her."

"Big Brother, just now this kid was sitting with her; could the two of them be in cahoots?" The bald man looked at Chen Yu with a suspicious expression.

"Are you looking for Wu Siyu?" Chen Yu stood up and said.

"That's right, we're looking for that kid. We just saw you sitting with her; are you two in cahoots?" Daoba stared viciously at Chen Yu and said.

"If I said I just met her, you surely wouldn't believe me," Chen Yu said with some helplessness.

"Heh, you two just met and you come to such an expensive restaurant to eat? Who are you trying to fool, kid?" The bald man sneered. "Are you treating us like fools?"

"Everything I said is true. I don't know what kind of grudge you have between you, but I really am not familiar with her," Chen Yu said, feeling speechless.

"Cut the crap, either take us to find her, or you pay back the money she owes us," the bald man stared fixedly at Chen Yu.

"She owes you money?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. The meal he and Wu Siyu had was not cheap, at least starting at eight thousand, and looking at Wu Siyu's speech and demeanor, she didn't look like someone who lacked money. How could she owe this group money?

"Otherwise, why would we go through all the trouble of chasing her?" Daoba sneered. "Enough talk, take us to find her immediately, otherwise, the money she owes us will have to be paid by you."

"She is on this ship, you can search slowly. I won't keep you company anymore." Chen Yu shook his head; he really didn't want to pay attention to these few people. He turned his head to leave, but the several burly men stepped forward and blocked him.

"Kid, we've been looking for her for a long time. It wasn't easy to get news of her on this ship. If today's matter isn't resolved, no one is leaving," the bald man sneered.

"I suspect whether you are in cahoots with her and playing a honey trap." Chen Yu furrowed his brows. Having been out of the world of the Jianghu for so long, have these honey trap methods been upgraded too?

"It seems you are the type who won't shed tears until you see the coffin," Daoba stared coldly at Chen Yu. He waved his hand: "Brothers, show him some color."

"Just right, I'll exercise after eating," Chen Yu loosened his joints and smiled faintly. Fighting was a daily occurrence for him.

"Are you sure?" The bald man shook the Dagger in his hand and stared viciously at Chen Yu.

"I am very sure. If you want to fight, come quickly," Chen Yu waved his hand impatiently and said. "Are you going to come one by one in a wheel battle, or all come at once?"

"My suggestion is that you all come at once; that way we can end the fight faster, and I can go back."

"Damn it, you're courting death." The few were furious and shouted, waving their hands: "Attack..."

A moment later, the few people were beaten until they huddled in a corner, looking at Chen Yu with fear.

"Still want to fight?" Chen Yu looked at the few people.

"No more fighting, no more fighting, Big Brother, this is a misunderstanding," the bald man shook his head.

"I said I wasn't familiar with her, why didn't you believe me?" Chen Yu said with some helplessness. "At first I even thought she was a shill."

"Sorry Big Brother, we disturbed your mood for eating, we apologize to you," Dabaolian also said, trembling.

"Fine, it's a misunderstanding anyway, I don't want to lower myself to your level, go," Chen Yu laughed, then he asked curiously: "You said she owes you money, how did that happen?"

"Big Brother, we are people who deal in antiques. This woman produced a fake, claiming it was a Qing Palace Imperial Object," the bald man said with some embarrassment. "When we appraised it, it was real, but after the transaction was finished and we returned, I don't know why it turned into a fake."

"It must be that this woman swapped the real one for a fake to trick us, causing us to lose tens of millions for nothing," the bald man said with some anger.

This group should be specialized in dealing in antiques and quite famous, but this time they fell into the hands of a young girl. They were certainly unwilling to let it go, so they searched everywhere for Wu Siyu's whereabouts. It wasn't easy to catch her here, but they ended up running into a tough guy.

"No wonder, I did say she looked quite shrewd," Chen Yu laughed. "You guys, learn from your mistakes. If you play in small creeks often, you'll capsize sooner or later. Just treat it as spending money to buy a lesson."
