Chapter 71 Secret Agent
Chapter 71 Secret Agent
"There's a thief!"
The servants shouted and the guests stood up, and suddenly the whole hall was in chaos.
Before Qin Huai and Li Bingwu could reach the second floor, the black shadow had already climbed out of the second-floor window.
Looking at the messy dressing room that had been destroyed by the thieves, Li Yutang was a little angry and asked the housekeeper
"How come your home is stolen by others?"
Qin Huai looked at the footprints on the windowsill and the second floor four or five meters above the ground, and didn't think much about it. He just thought it was a greedy thief.
"He's a skilled thief. He probably saw that Jinliyuan was having a big event today, so he wanted to take advantage of the crowd to make a quick buck."
The originally high spirits of the crowd became somewhat dull due to the interruption of this thief.
"Don't worry about him, let's drink ours."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Bingwu hurriedly took everyone back to the front hall to continue celebrating, leaving Li Yutang here to clean up the mess.
"What's missing?"
"Master, nothing is missing except a few pieces of jewelry."
"Pay attention to all the pawnshops these days and see if they have the jewelry you lost this time. If they do, I don't need to teach you."
"Yes, sir."
How dare you come to my house to steal? I want to see which little thief dares to do such a thing. Is he going to die? !
Li Yutang felt a little embarrassed, but he did not blame the servants. He just told them to keep a close eye on the pawnshop and be careful of thieves selling the stolen goods.
Outside Jinliyuan, in a dark alley
The man in the white hat who changed back into the police uniform rubbed his thigh and limped into a gambling den.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Shen Ye?
It's not easy for me to see you at the end of the month, Third Master, have you made some money again?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Shen must have made a fortune and wanted to come to our place to have some fun."
"Go away, don't bother me!"
Shen Ye took out two dollars, exchanged them for some chips, and sat in front of the dealer with familiarity.
The dice fly and collide in the dice cup, making pleasant and crisp sounds.
big big big!
"Two two three, seven o'clock, little!"
Shen Ye held his forehead with his right hand and continued to press!
big big big!
"Three, four, one, eight o'clock, small!"
Shen Ye's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was tense. Keep pressing! I don't believe it!
Small small small!
"Six six six, eighteen o'clock, leopard!"
Shen Ye felt hopeless, his eyes were lifeless, like a zombie, and he was pushed away from the gambling table without realizing it.
"Mr. Shen, come and play again when you have money!"
Hearing the servant's teasing jokes, Shen Ye suddenly went crazy and beat the servant up.
"Fuck, stinky hand Shen, are you crazy?!"
The servant protected his head and face and screamed loudly to attract the thugs.
Soon, several burly and fierce men surrounded Shen Ye.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Boom!"
The thugs of the gambling den threw Shen Ye, who was beaten half to death, out of the stall and walked away spitting.
"A stinky white-hat who relies on foreigners for food still wants to get rich overnight? Dream on!"
"That's right, don't you think about how much money you've lost here? You've even lost your wife and house, and you're still thinking about gambling?!"
"Don't you know how stinky your hands are?!"
The voices of the thugs gradually faded away, but Shen Ye was still immersed in the dream of getting rich quickly and didn't want to wake up.
"Get up, the lady wants to see you."
The captain of the merchant ship came to the side of the wild dog-like Shen Ye at some point and whispered coldly.
Seeing that Shen Ye didn't move, the captain waved his hand and ordered his men to carry him onto the car.
The Peak, Lee Family
Li looked at Shen Ye, who was lying on the ground like a dead pig. Her nose moved slightly, smelling the stench of cigarettes and alcohol coming from this gambler. She frowned in disgust, raised her phoenix eyes, and ordered,
"Wake him up for me."
"Wow~" Shen Ye was chilled by the cold water. He opened his eyes and looked at the woman in palace dress in front of him, still without saying a word.
"Crack! Crack!"
Seeing that Shen Ye was still not conscious, the captain slapped him twice in the face.
"Where did those people go after they arrived on the island today? Who did they meet? Did they find their whereabouts?"
Seeing that Shen Ye had woken up, Li didn't waste any time and started asking him three questions in a row.
"They separated halfway. I don't know where the troupe went. I only know that the big guy who led them ended up going to Jinliyuan."
Shen Ye spoke slowly, as if he didn't care about the slap just now.
When Li heard the words "Jin Liyuan", her face changed and she continued to ask,
"that's it?"
"I also heard that the boss of Jinliyuan was going to give each person 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, saying that he was going to welcome someone."
"who?"
Li was a little anxious.
"I don't know. They spoke very quietly and I couldn't hear them clearly."
Shen Ye had a secret to hide, and did not intend to tell everything to the woman in palace dress in front of him.
"Take it off."
Li waved his hand, signaling his men to drag Shen Ye out.
"Ten dollars! For just ten dollars I'll help you keep an eye on that big guy!"
Li was unmoved. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, frowning slightly, as if he was not used to the drink.
"Five dollars! Only five dollars!"
"Let him go."
Shen Ye felt happy when he heard the woman's lazy voice.
I have money again! This time, I will definitely make it back!
"Don't delay my work, or I'll make you suffer!
get out! "
The captain was a little worried as he watched Shen Ye limping down the mountain.
"Madam, I didn't expect that the most famous intelligence broker in Central is such a gambler. This time, it's my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me, Madam!"
"It doesn't matter. It's only a few dollars. It's best if I can get something. But if not, it doesn't matter."
Li did not expect that this casually arranged chess piece would be of any use. He yawned and planned to go back to his room to rest.
Shen Ye, who was limping down Taiping Mountain, had no intention of going home to sleep. He only wanted to change to another gambling den and continue gambling.
Before he reached the door of the gambling den, he was surrounded by a foreigner with several white helmets.
"Lord Blank, he is Shen Ye."
A man in a white helmet pointed at Shen Ye and said respectfully beside Blank.
"Are you the most famous information dealer in Central? Why don't you look like one?"
Blank looked at Shen Ye's dirty police uniform and said suspiciously.
"What do you want from me, sir? If you want to buy information, you have to pay first."
Shen Ye was not afraid of foreigners like the other white hats. He still spoke with the same attitude, not caring about anything else but money.
"give him"
Blank raised his chin and signaled his men to give him the money.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?"
When Shen Ye saw the money, his expression immediately changed and he bowed and asked.
Blank handed Shen Ye a portrait and said sternly,
"Keep a close eye on this man and report his whereabouts to me every day. Remember every place he goes and every person he meets!"
Shen Ye unfolded the portrait, which was exactly the ink portrait of Qin Huai.
"You pay the money, and you are God. Don't worry, I will definitely do it for you."
Blank was very pleased to hear Shen Ye's compliments. He stroked his beard and got into the carriage.
Shen Ye tossed his money bag, listened to the clanging sound inside, and continued walking towards the gambling den.
