Chapter 217 The Three Major Junk Dealers' Scheme Ling Bo

The next morning, Li Li made a call to let us know she was safe and sound, and thanked us very much for coming back.

Something's not right!

I muttered to myself as I hung up the phone.

"This doesn't sound right to me either!"

"Long Nier said."

"Xiao Li's voice is a bit formulaic, like two people who have just met exchanging polite greetings!" Fatty Lin said.

"Yes, there's no sense of familiarity or warmth!" I said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than his phone rang again.

I glanced at it; it was Fourth Wife.

"Thirteen, the boss isn't feeling well. Could you come and take his pulse?"

After the call was connected, Fourth Wife's voice came through.

"Sister Ling, we're going back to Beijing!" I said.

"I've booked tickets for you for the morning, you must be back this afternoon, the boss isn't feeling well!" Fourth Wife said.

"good!"

I remained silent for a while, then nodded.

"This phone call might be related to Third Master!"

I said, "Hang up the phone."

Fourth Aunt showed no surprise at the fact that we were in Beijing.

"It must be Third Master!"

"That's what Fatty Lin said."

"What should we do? Should we go back?" Long Nier asked.

"What other excuse do we have left?" I asked.

Li Li clearly stated that she was better, thanked us for rushing back yesterday, and said that we had troubled her and told us to go about our own business and not to worry about her.

The sense of alienation in her words was obvious to anyone; she was practically telling everyone to hurry back to Hong Kong Island.

Under these circumstances, what reason do we have to stay in the capital?

Moreover, the fourth wife called again, saying that the gambling king was unwell.

Soon, the fourth wife sent the flight information.

It's not even 6:30 now, and the flight is at 9:30, so the timing is perfect.

"Let's pack up and go!" I said.

The excuse for our return this time was Li Li, but now that Li Li is fine, we can't keep her even if we wanted to.

After leaving the house, I thought for a moment and then called Third Master to explain the situation.

"Thirteen, you guys do your best in Hong Kong, you won't suffer. Don't worry about Li Li, I'll take care of her. And Jin Yu, when you have time, talk to her and tell her not to waste her good life on those pointless things!"

Third Master said.

"Okay, we understand!"

I said in a deep voice.

After hanging up, we headed straight to the airport.

At 1:30 pm, after leaving the airport, the fourth wife sent a car to pick us up and take us to the villa in Repulse Bay.

As expected, the gambling king is fine.

After examining the gambling king's pulse and performing acupuncture and moxibustion, we were just about to leave when the fourth wife called me back.

"Sister Ling, is something the matter?" I asked.

"Thirteen, we've been together for about half a year now, haven't we?" Fourth Aunt asked with a smile, glancing at the three of us.

"Got it!" I nodded.

"What do you think of me?" Fourth Wife asked.

"Sister Ling, you've been incredibly kind to the three of us!" I said, downplaying the issue.

The fourth wife has been really good to us in the past six months, giving us money, houses, cars, and women—she's given us everything she could.

"There are some things I shouldn't say, but after spending so much time together, I really treat you all like my younger brothers and sisters. I'd feel bad if I didn't say anything!" Fourth Aunt said.

"Sister, I know you're good to us. Please tell me what's on your mind!" Fatty Long said.

"Yes, sister, we remember all the kindness you've shown us!" Long Nier stepped forward, hugged Fourth Aunt's arm, and gently shook it.

"Okay, then I'll tell you!"

Fourth Wife pointed to the sofa and said, "Let's sit down and talk!"

"Thirteen, Little Fatty, Ni'er, I won't comment on what kind of person Third Master is, but I must make one thing clear: we should avoid getting involved in the affairs above if possible. Otherwise, we won't even know which stone will hit us in the future!"

Fourth Aunt said.

"It's so much better in Hong Kong Island. You don't have to get involved in all that messy stuff. Even if something happens, it's just the same few companies. Everyone knows each other, so you can sit down and talk things over. It's just a matter of losing some money!"

"With your abilities, what does it matter if you lose some money?"

"In a place like Hong Kong Island where traditional culture is so prevalent, making money is a piece of cake for you, don't you think?"

Fourth Aunt looked at us and asked with a smile.

"yes!"

Fatty Lin nodded first.

After he nodded, Long Ni'er and I nodded in agreement, and even Xiao Ba popped out and nodded his little head.

"Sister Ling, we know you're doing this for our own good, and we know what to do!"

Fatty Lin let out a breath and said, "Sister Ling, don't worry, the three of us will be settling down in Hong Kong from now on!"

"That's right!" Fourth Aunt laughed happily.

After chatting for a couple more minutes, we said goodbye and left.

"You madman, are the words you're saying from Fourth Wife herself, or from Third Master?"

After getting in the car, Fatty Lin asked.

"I think it's fifty-fifty!"

I thought for a moment and said, "Third Master definitely doesn't want us to go back to the capital right now, and Fourth Madam doesn't want us to go back to the capital either!"

Third Master doesn't want us to go back because he doesn't want us to ruin his plans.

Fourth Wife didn't want us to go back because she wanted to provide an extra layer of insurance for the gambling king.

"Actually, what Fourth Wife said isn't without merit!"

Fatty Lin said slowly, "Third Master's ambitions are growing bigger and bigger. We all know what he wants to do. If things go wrong in the future, the Hua family will be there to protect us. After all, they are the original shareholders!"

"Given his family background, he probably won't even go to jail; at most, he'll be put in solitary confinement for a while!"

"When he emerges, his power may not be as great as before, but he won't lack money; he'll still be a scion of a prominent family!"

"As his lackeys, we're bound to be dealt with, even if we didn't do anything!"

"Things are fine as they are now. Although I've been exiled to Hong Kong Island, I don't have to get involved in Third Master's mess!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "As for Little Fox, we'll help if we can, but if we can't, there's not much we can do!"

"Well, that's the only way!"

I sighed.

Over the next two days, Li Li called us twice more, once to let us know she was safe and the other to say that she would need to have corrective surgery and double eyelid surgery in a while.

When Li Li spoke to me about these things, her tone was the same as the day we returned to Hong Kong Island, carrying a faint sense of detachment, somewhat like she was giving a work report.

I was puzzled by the change in Li Li's tone. The only thing I was sure of was that something had happened to her, but I didn't know what it was.

Aunt Xiao also called us, saying that Third Master had forgiven her and asked Fatty Lin to teach her a couple more moves.

A few days later, the matter was completely over, and everything returned to normal.

That afternoon, I had just given acupuncture to an old guy from a triad, when someone came up to me through Fourth Aunt's connections, wanting to ask Fatty Lin to tell his fortune.

We rarely take on fortune-telling jobs, but since this person has connections with the Fourth Wife, we've accepted the job anyway.

The person who arrived was none other than Ji Lingbo, one of the three major junket operators.
