The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1128 - 710: Helping Niu Ma Bail Someone Out_2

Chapter 1128: Chapter 710: Helping Niu Ma Bail Someone Out_2

Liu Zheng got back to the main topic.

"He has a brother who is also his son and got caught cheating at the casino. The other party contacted me to ask how we should handle this."

Niu Ma said.

"How much money?"

"It’s not just about the money. He not only cheated but also injured the casino owner’s underlings and seduced the casino owner’s woman."

Niu Ma shook his head and said.

"Boss, your nephew is quite the troublemaker."

Being able to cause so much trouble at once is not something an average person could do.

"If he wasn’t such a troublemaker, would I have recruited him into the delivery department?"

Niu Ma sneered.

Although being a delivery person for the Bloody Restaurant is a high-risk job, with Niu Ma guiding him, the danger would greatly decrease.

By the time Yellow Monkey’s son matures, Niu Ma’s original capital should be accumulated enough. Then he could figure out a way to leave the restaurant, with him and Yellow Monkey’s son, one on the outside and one on the inside, the money would be pouring in.

At least for Niu Ma at that time, choosing a brother’s son as a successor would definitely be more reliable than picking a newcomer.

The reason for not doing so is naturally because Yellow Monkey’s son is even less reliable than a newcomer.

"So just leave it alone?"

Liu Zheng tentatively asked.

He wasn’t a naive good guy either; he only saved those who could be saved.

Someone who couldn’t control his hands or his desires was just polluting the air while alive.

"Among the five of us, only Yellow Monkey has a child. I even held him when he was little. Ignoring this doesn’t sit right with me."

Niu Ma shook his head and said.

"Then let me handle the negotiation. Don’t worry, for under five million, I guarantee I’ll bring him back whole."

Liu Zheng volunteered.

"And what about this five million?"

Niu Ma, with a change in expression, asked tentatively.

"Boss, even between brothers, accounts need to be settled clearly. You can owe the money for now, but you’ll still have to pay it back later."

He said seriously.

"Tch."

Niu Ma clicked his tongue.

"If you’re willing to go, then go. Give me a pen and paper."

He bit on the pen and wrote down an address and phone number on the paper.

"New Grape Hotel?"

Liu Zheng glanced at the address, sounding puzzled.

"It’s a casino hotel with gambling, lodging, dining, bathing, fitness, and everything else."

Niu Ma explained.

"Oh, sounds like a tough one."

He said while stroking his chin.

"If it weren’t tough, would I need to use the excuse of delivering food to handle this? I’d have taken care of it on a casual walk."

Niu Ma rolled his eyes.

"You sure know how to take your time with a walk."

Liu Zheng said with squinted eyes.

The New Grape Hotel was even farther from the Bloody Restaurant than the cemetery. It would take Niu Ma at least forty to fifty minutes if he walked normally.

"You talk too much. Are you going or not? If not, I’ll go myself."

Niu Ma said, annoyed.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go. Sigh, now even borrowing money is the boss’s job, asking for help is the boss’s job too. Being the underling is really hard."

He sighed, picked up the delivery order, and left the lounge.

"Food: Exquisitely Carved Banana Peel"

"Address: New Grape Hotel, 57th Floor, Room 3 Meeting Room"

"Customer: Hou Taotao"

"Time limit: One hour"

"This Hou Taotao should be Yellow Monkey’s son."

Liu Zheng muttered to himself.

Niu Ma had thought it through, letting Hou Taotao order the delivery himself, giving them ample time.

Wait a minute...

"Could this guy have already planned to trap me?"

Liu Zheng thought with a strange expression.

Forget it, if it’s a trap it’s a trap, they had been setting traps for each other many times before.

If he was going to negotiate and save someone, he couldn’t go alone.

He called Niu Daji, Ah Bao, and the Jiwei Group, briefly explained the situation, and asked them to meet at the clinic entrance.

Then he opened the food box. Inside was a banana peel torn into four pieces, each piece exquisitely carved into one of the four great spirit beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, vivid and lifelike, fully showcasing the chef’s masterful carving skills.

"Name: Exquisitely Carved Banana Peel"

"Type: Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Ordinary"

"Effect: None"

"Note: Originally an unremarkable banana peel, its aesthetic value has been enhanced due to outstanding carving skills."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Hmm..."

Can’t say it’s useless, just really not useful.

Liu Zheng put away the meal box and left the restaurant.

While driving, he called Silver Wolf and Ace.

With both a casino and a hotel, the City Supervision Department and Security Department should be able to handle it.

"What’s up?"

He called Silver Wolf first.

"Brother-in-law, a friend’s nephew was detained by the New Grape Hotel, do you know anyone over there?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don’t know anyone. Although the hotel industry also falls under our supervision, the main management is at the Security Department."

Silver Wolf replied.

Especially since New Grape Hotel is also a casino, it’s even more under the Security Department’s jurisdiction.

City Hall has a very ambiguous attitude towards casinos, neither legislating bans nor officially allowing them.

Like during registration, if you name it directly as a casino, the process will definitely be blocked, no amount of money will help.

But even if you openly run a casino business, advertise in newspapers or on TV, as long as you’ve greased the right palms, no one will bother you.

However, if they want to interfere, City Hall has plenty of ways to do so.

"Alright, then I’ll get in touch with the Security Department."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, if you can’t find someone, let me know, I’ll figure something out."

Silver Wolf said.

"Sure thing."

After hanging up, he called Ace.

"Brother Pai, do you know the New Grape Hotel?"

Liu Zheng asked directly.

"Of course, it’s the New Grape Big Casino. Many in our logistics department love to go there."

Ace replied.

"That’s great. I need your help on something."

He briefly explained Hou Taotao’s situation.

"Brother Zheng, this isn’t easy to handle."

Ace said after listening.

"Big background?"

"It’s not exactly a background issue, more like a favor issue. I mentioned a lot of colleagues like to go there, right? Many of them lost money there, some cleared their debts, some still owe, but no matter what, they owe the casino a favor. If I use the Security Department to pressure the casino, they’ll surely use our people to pressure back, and we’ll end up with a muddled legal dispute."

Ace explained.

"Looks like Brother Pai knows a lot about the department gossip."

Liu Zheng teased.

"Oh, it’s not that I like listening, it’s just that they love talking. Besides, I mostly stay in the department, it’s hard not to hear these things."

Ace said helplessly.

"Alright, I’ll think of other ways."

He said, preparing to hang up.

"Wait, Brother Zheng, are you planning to go soft or hard?"

Ace stopped him.

"Start soft, and if that doesn’t work, go hard."

Liu Zheng already offended Peacock, adding New Grape Hotel wouldn’t make much difference.

As for others, Niu Daji and Panda are his minions; even if he has to climb mountains and cross fires, they’d follow, backing down is another story.

And Jiwei Group is originally a gang; doing negotiation and confrontation is part of their job.

"Alright, if you arrive first, wait for me at the hotel entrance, I’ll go with you."

Ace considered for a moment and said.

"Okay, thanks Brother Pai."

"We’re all brothers, no need for thanks, besides, when I ask for your help, I won’t be polite."

Ace chuckled.

"No way, asking for my help at least requires three loud kowtows and calling me a good grandpa."

Liu Zheng joked.

"Sure, you said it. When the time comes, don’t cover your ears."

Ace said.

"...I was wrong, Brother Pai, spare me."

He almost forgot, Ace’s father is a Travel Mage.

If the father finds out he gained an extra dad, the instance settlement won’t save him.

"Haha!"

Ace gleefully hung up the phone.

Even the Criminal Investigation Bureau can’t make Liu Zheng yield, but Ace can, hence, he outshines the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

He, Bill Homme, wins!

At the clinic entrance, Liu Zheng loaded everyone into the car, and headed towards New Grape Hotel.

To save time, he slammed the pedal to the floor.

The engine roared at full power, fully utilizing the stored Netherworld Power, activating the Bone Dragon exoskeleton on the spirit car’s surface, letting out a terrifying howl, while the dragon’s tail spewed pale Netherworld Fire.

A trip that normally takes twenty minutes, he squeezed it into less than ten.

Luckily, nobody in the car was ordinary, otherwise a few would’ve been carsick before the fight even began.

"We’ve arrived."

Liu Zheng slammed the brakes, and the Bone Dragon clawed into the cement ground, forcibly stopping the car.
