Chapter 162 The Gambling King Suffers a Stroke

"That long?"

I never wanted to go to Hong Kong Island, let alone for such a long time.

"There are some things that are inconvenient to talk about over the phone, so you and Little Fatty should come to my place!" Third Master said.

"good!"

I nodded.

After hanging up the phone, I said to Fatty Lin, "Let's go!"

"Crazy, what do you think Third Master wants to do?" Fatty Lin asked, frowning.

"have no idea!"

I shook my head.

The Deli Club wasn't far from us. After going downstairs, my brother and I didn't drive; instead, we each rode a bicycle there.

When I met Third Master, he was signing documents.

My brother and I didn't stand on ceremony. We sat down, poured ourselves some water, and waited for Third Master while we drank.

After waiting for about three minutes, Third Master put down the documents in his hand and said, "This matter is urgent. You two should leave tonight. I've already booked your plane tickets!"

"So soon?" I was a little surprised.

"The gambling king has had a stroke, we have to be on our guard!" Third Master's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of disdain.

"Stroke?"

I thought for a moment and asked, "Third Master, do you mean you want me to go over and give him acupuncture?"

"right!"

Third Master nodded and said, "You two brothers go and help me stabilize his condition, at least don't let him die!"

"Third Master?"

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. The gambling king is over eighty years old. At that age, it's not something I can just decide to maintain.

"It involves hundreds of billions of dollars, you two brothers must help him stabilize the situation!" Third Master said.

"Tens of billions?"

My brother and I exchanged a glance, both of us seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Our small bodies couldn't handle it!

"Don't worry, not only do you not want the gambling king to die, but his fourth wife does even less so. All you need to do is stabilize the gambling king's condition and prevent it from worsening, and his fourth wife will take care of the rest!" Third Master said.

"Third Master, may I ask what's going on with these tens of billions?" I hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

As soon as I said that, Fatty Lin kicked me from below.

Actually, even without him kicking me, I regretted it.

Sometimes it's better not to know than to know.

Fatty Lin is absolutely right; when it comes to interpersonal relationships, I am indeed not as good as him.

"There's nothing I can't say!"

Third Master didn't pay any attention and said, "Back then, in the battle for the title of gambling king in Macau, Gambling King Lu was able to drive his opponent Han Ye out of management with the support of the Yu family. Do you know why the Yu family supported Gambling King Lu?"

"I don't know!" I said.

"Because Gambling King Lu promised that after taking power, he would use 90% of the profits for people's livelihood and charity!" Third Master scoffed, "That's why Old Master Yu supported him and drove Han Ye out of SJM Holdings!"

"But in reality, he didn't do that!"

At this point, Third Master snorted coldly and said, "The promise made back then wasn't just for our family, but also for the rest of the mainland!"

Some promises can't be broken just because you want to!

"If he dares to break his promise, don't blame us for settling scores later!"

"So, these tens of billions are to fulfill the promise we made back then?" I asked.

"right!"

Third Master nodded and said, "This money is being donated to our foundation for charity!"

"What about this fund?" I couldn't help but ask.

"I'm in control right now!" Third Master said.

"oh!"

I understood immediately.

They say it's a donation to China, but isn't it really a donation to the Hua family?

There are too many shady dealings involved in mutual funds.

The gambling king Lu did this to settle things with money.

With him gone, the Lü family will inevitably fight tooth and nail over the inheritance, and whether or not the money will still be paid will become a problem.

Even if it is given, the question remains: who will receive it from the successor?

The Hua family isn't the only prominent family in China.

As far as I know, Ma Shuai's boss has a deep presence in Hong Kong, and several wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong have already invested in him.

The "投" here refers to investment.

Given the nature of those people in Hong Kong, they won't tie themselves to any one company.

Therefore, if something happens to the Lü family, the question becomes who to give the money to.

Third Master was worried about this, which is why he sent the two of us over there.

"Third Master, how did Gambling King Lu suffer a stroke? With his medical resources, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" I asked.

"Our gambling king Lu is old in years but young at heart. Even at seventy or eighty, he doesn't care whether his body can handle it or not. He still plays the 'one pear blossom tree pressing down on a crabapple' trick, and as a result, trouble has come to his head!" Third Master mocked.

"Did something happen while you were hanging out with Fourth Wife?" I asked gossipingly.

Asking this question wasn't taboo, so I asked it without thinking.

"no!"

Third Master waved his hand and said, "I heard she's a nurse too. Not long ago, Gambling King Lü even wanted to promote her to be his fifth concubine!"

"The gambling tycoon had a soft spot for nurses!"

I said.

The third wife rose to power from being a nurse, and now another nurse has emerged.

Third Master glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, it's getting late. You two go back and prepare. I only have one request for you two: you must ensure that the Gambling King survives!"

"Okay, we'll do our best!" Fatty Lin and I nodded at the same time.

"You madman, this is going to be difficult!"

As Lin the Fat Man left the club, he frowned.

"It's really tough!" I sighed.

Even if it's easy, they won't let the two of us get through.

Hundreds of billions! If we squander it, Third Master will definitely take his anger out on us two brothers.

"Crazy, I think this job might have been recommended to us by that bastard Li Yunfei!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.

"That's actually quite possible!"

If he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of it at all. But after he did, I thought about it and realized it's highly likely.

Li Yunfei is a cunning and malicious person, full of bad intentions.

He'd disliked us two brothers for a long time, and of course, we two brothers disliked him too.

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Should we take this job he recommended? Let's just take it one step at a time!" I said.

Back at the clinic, I told Long Nier what had happened. She didn't say anything, and immediately went to pack my and Fatty Lin's luggage.

After tidying up, she said, "Brother, you and Fatty go first. I'll go over in a couple of days to settle things at the clinic!"

"OK!"

I didn't refuse.

Just as I finished speaking, my phone rang. It was Third Master.

After we answered the phone, Third Master asked us if we were ready. He said if we were, we should come downstairs, and he would personally take us to the airport.

"Brother, be careful. Don't be foolish and rush into everything. None of the gambling king's concubines are simple-minded. If anything happens, let them handle it!"

After putting down her phone, Long Nier was still worried and started nagging.

I know what Long Nier is worried about.

It's no secret that the gambling king used a "living tomb" to prolong his life.

She was worried that my brother and I would perform a second "living tomb" ceremony for the gambling king in order to protect his legacy.

The practice of planting a living tomb has a cause and effect.

Especially with secondary planting of a living foundation, if things go wrong, one could suffer a backlash and even lose their life.
