Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 16.1: The Prodigal Son (29)
There are a lot of shameful things going on in the gambling house. Now that they are attacking Shao Yu, they don’t accept it at all. They even think that the old man is old and might break into pieces with just a light touch.
Seeing the group of people in front of him suddenly rolling up their sleeves, Shao Yu understood their plan and said to them, “I didn’t come here with any ill intentions.”
Zhang Meng sneered and said, “It’s too late to talk about this now!”
A group of thugs rushed towards Shao Yu.
They even scrambled for each other, trying to make a name for themselves in front of Zhang Meng.
But what they thought was a safe pounce turned to be a miss.
Shao Yu slid down from the chair at some point, and his body was nimble not like an old man.
The thugs only thought it was an accident, and immediately adjusted again and rushed towards Shao Yu.
But this time they missed again.
In a small room, several people were running around together like eagles catching chickens. No matter how the thugs chased and intercepted him, Shao Yu could always escape. Occasionally, a group of people bumped into each other, but Shao Yu still managed to escape unscathed.
Shao Yu didn’t make any moves to fight back, so the scene looked funny, as if the thugs were too stupid to be played by Shao Yu like this.
Zhang Meng looked at this scene and cursed in his heart that his subordinates were all idiots. After seeing it for a long time, Shao Yu was still jumping happily. Zhang Meng finally couldn’t help it anymore and went directly to the scene himself.
However, even his participation could not change the situation of the battle. Accidental injuries still occurred from time to time. In the chaos, even Zhang Meng was hit several times by his men.
After all this torment, the old man who “can die easily” was unscathed, but a group of young people were panting, and some even had stains on their faces, looking very embarrassed.
“Why are you chasing me?”
Shao Yu asked with a smile. Then he seemed to casually press the bookshelf on the side and said, “These books of yours look new.”
The bookshelves in the gambling house are naturally full of decorations.
Just putting books in a gambling house seems a bit weird.
Although Shao Yu has been chasing after them, his eyes are constantly looking at this place.
This bookshelf placed here abruptly is naturally his first object of suspicion.
In Zhang Meng’s bookshelf, there is indeed a hidden secret.
Zhang Meng’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately shouted: “Don’t touch my book.”
Shao Yu replied: “How can a young man do big things if he can’t keep his composure?”
After saying that, Shao Yu gently pressed somewhere on the shelf next to him, and soon heard a “click”.
A hidden grid appeared.
Inside the secret compartment is a booklet.
There was not a single word on the cover of the booklet, but Shao Yu had already guessed what it was.
Zhang Meng’s face was tense and ferocious, and he said: “Hand over the things, and I will spare your life.”
Shao Yu thought it was a little funny, and naturally didn’t believe his nonsense, and said, “This remark can only deceive the children on the street.”
Zhang Meng’s face was full of cruelty and he said, “You are really courting death.”
Shao Yu didn’t care at all, but asked curiously: “Why do you need to keep accounts?”
You don’t need to guess to know that this book must be a ledger. Things like ledgers can kill people at critical moments.
Shao Yu asked about Zhang Meng. Five years ago, this man was an ordinary gangster, and he was able to make such a big business in such a short period of time, even if he was involved in the underworld, he shouldn’t have expanded this industry so rapidly.
Therefore, Shao Yu concluded that there must be someone behind Zhang Meng.
As for the existence of the ledger, most of the transactions between Zhang Meng and that person are recorded. The reason why Zhang Meng keeps the account is probably to guard against the person behind him.
At this time, the ledger was held in Shao Yu’s hand, and Zhang Meng’s killing intent became heavier, and he even wanted to kill a few of his subordinates.
“Whoever kills him will be rewarded fifty taels of silver.” Zhang Meng announced.
Shao Yu gave a soft “tsk” and said, “This ledger is worth at least a few thousand taels, why are you offering so little reward?”
Several men wanted to rush out, but after hearing these words, they stopped in their tracks.
Who is not a greedy person if he can work with Zhang Meng? Even if it is one thousand taels, if so many people divide it equally, what each person will get is higher than the fifty taels that Zhang Meng wanted to give.
Shao Yu took advantage of this opportunity, casually opened it and took a look, then said: “I was wrong, this ledger is worth at least tens of thousands of taels.”
When they heard the word “tens of thousands”, several thugs looked at each other as if they were asking for opinions.
Zhang Meng looked at this situation, and immediately cursed these people for being unreliable, but soon he threatened: “Have you forgotten where this is? Do you think you can run out with the ledger? Don’t you have parents?”
These people were stunned.
Zhang Meng said at this time: “Whoever kills him will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. If he takes back the account book, he will be rewarded with another hundred taels.”
After hitting with a stick and giving a sweet jujube, it successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of this group of people, and they rushed towards Shao Yu as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Shao Yu didn’t expect that a few casual provocations would cause a few people to fight among themselves. Seeing this situation, he directly put the booklet into his arms.
Zhang Meng shouted: “Don’t damage the ledger.”
After saying that, he was still worried about these men, he also rushed forward.
Shao Yu still evaded flexibly, but it was not just intentional or unintentional. Shao Yu, who had always been difficult to catch, was almost caught several times when faced with Zhang Meng’s pursuit.
Seeing that he was about to catch Shao Yu, Zhang Meng rushed forward. Shao Yu had his back turned to him, but at this moment, as if there were eyes behind him, he hurriedly moved aside. Zhang Meng didn’t stop and slammed into the shelf.
Everything seemed to be a coincidence. The vase on the top of the shelf shook and then fell straight down, hitting Zhang Meng squarely on the head.
