Iluo Da Hai had over twenty subordinates, all of them were experienced combat elite.
lie directly ordered half of them to stay behind to guard their base, and took the rest with him.
“Brother Zhao Yu, what exactly are we here for?”
Zhao Yu was wondering around for quite a while and seeing that he had spoken to several stall owners without striking any deals, Stubble-bearded Big Brother couldn’t help but become curious.
Zhao Yu stroked his chin, pondering whether or not to reveal his plans.
“You’ve been following me, and 1 consider you all my brothers. So, let me be honest with you…”
“I might not lose the gamble 1 have with the Huang family…”
“Just 10 million, I’m confident I can double it within a month…”
“Although I’ve never done business, I’m well-established the plan and know the effective…”
Zhao Yu’s speech was soon overheard by many people nearby.
Especially the mention of “10 million” directly attracted many people.
With a poker face, Zhao Yu continued, “But starting a new business from scratch is too slow, it’s hard to make it big in just a month…”
“So, I’m thinking of acquiring some companies that are on the brink of bankruptcy due to poor management…”
“With my abilities, it should be easy to get back on its feet. By then, let alone 20 million, even 30 or 50 million will be a drop in the bucket…”
Stubble-bearded Big Brother and the others were uncertain if what Zhao Yu was dreaming or if he truly had such capabilities.
They even more uncertain if Zhao Yu really manage to do it within a month.
Little did they know, Zhao Yu were actually meant for the ears of those business owners on the brink of bankruptcy.
Upon hearing Zhao Yu’s words, they’d surely regard him as a naive youth and approach him for acquisition discussions.
“Brother Zhao Yu, stop talking…”
Stubble-bearded Big Brother felt a chilling presence surrounding them. He realized they had drawn unwanted attention and hurriedly alerted Zhao Yu.
“Brother Zhao Yu, one shouldn’t flaunt their wealth here…”
Upon spotting the gunmen from the Huang family, he sighed in relief.
The Huang family’s guards were not expecting Zhao Yu to visit such a place and casually talk about tens of millions.
Wasn’t this increasing their workload?!
The leader of the group noticed that many around them were already drawing their guns.
He promptly signaled his men to spread out.
Soon, the Huang family’s gathered around Zhao Yu, shielding him from potential harm.
“Respected friends of the underworld, 1 am the captain of the Huang family’s third protection squad. I am tasked by the Huang family to protect this young man for a month…”
“The 10 million is indeed real, but it concerns a bet and involves the reputation of the Su family. Anyone who interferes with this bet will meet a deadly fate…”
The appearance of the group of armed men naturally put the surrounding crowd on alert. Hearing his words, confusion spread among them.
Many were unaware of Zhao Yu’s bet with the Huang family and began to pull out their phones, contacting well-informed a.s.sociates to understand the situation.
“Moreover, 10 million, if converted to cash, would weigh several hundred kilograms. Who would carry that around?!”
The crowd finally began to calm down. They realized it must surely be in a bank account. Thus, Zhao Yu couldn’t be killed, at least not before they could coerce the pa.s.sword from him.
“The pa.s.sword is six eights!”
At that moment, an ill-timed voice resonated through the crowd.
Zhao Yu was holding up his bank card, he shouted loudly, “The card is on me. The pa.s.sword is six eights. Who dares to s.n.a.t.c.h it?!”
“A bunch of rats lurking in the sewers, do you think you’re worthy?!”
Worthless —!
Stubble-bearded Big Brother had thought that Zhao Yu was someone of substance, but by the look of things now, was he just a reckless fool?!
Could such words be uttered at a time like this?!
The third protection squad’s captain felt the urge to stab Zhao Yu right in the heart.
“Click—!”
Suddenly, the sound of bullets being chambered echoed throughout the venue.
“You all need to think clearly. If you kill him, neither the Huang nor the Su families will spare you…”
He hadn’t given up and continued to invoke the names of the Huang and Su families, attempting to intimidate the crowd.
A stall owner, who had been sharpening a knife from the beginning, finally couldn’t help but smile after hearing this.
“After pulling off this job, I’m leaving Bing City for good. Huang family, Su family, what of it? Once out of here, they mean nothing!”
“Bang-!”
“Bang-!”
Gunfire began.
Fortunately, the Huang family’s guards were wearing bulletproof vests. In the initial onslaught, only a few unlucky ones were shot in the head, dying instantly.
“Fire!!”
There was no need for the captain’s command; chaos reigned.
Zhao Yu immediately crouched down, allowing Stubble-bearded Big
Brother and his men to surround and shield him.
Half a minute later, with more than a dozen bodies lying around, the captain of the Huang family’s squad could no longer hold back. He exclaimed, “The card belongs to the Huang family! We’ve notified the bank. Every transaction requires the Huang family’s approval to process. It’s useless even if you steal it…”
The intensity of the gunfire decreased significantly.
The Huang family’s captain felt the situation was ludicrous. Admitting such a thing would undoubtedly incur the wrath of the Huang family.
But under the current circ.u.mstances, he had no other choice!
“How can we believe what you say?!” Someone shouted back..
