Chapter 491 - I'll Take You to a Good Place
Hsu Chenyue quickly approached Hsu Chenyang and said, “Zip it, don't spout nonsense! He's not my boyfriend; he's just a friend. Now get out of here! Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused our family? I'm warning you, I have their number. If you don't leave this instant, I'm calling them!”
“No, please!”
Hsu Chenyang, terrified at the prospect, frantically waved his hands, his forehead beading with sweat.
He glanced around nervously, fearing those people might find him.
“I'm leaving now! Are you sure you don't have any money?”
Hsu Chenyang was reluctant to leave, yet he felt he had no choice.
Biting her lip in frustration, Hsu Chenyue replied sharply, “No, I don't! Just go!”
As Hsu Chenyue reached for her phone, seemingly ready to make a call, Hsu Chenyang instinctively thought of running away. It was then that Su Ming stepped forward and said, “Hold on a second.”
Hsu Chenyang's eyes sparkled with hope. “Brother-in-law, I knew you'd come through for me!”
But Su Ming's response was blunt. “I don't have any money.”
Hsu Chenyang was dumbfounded. If Su Ming had no money, why did he stop him?
With a grin, Su Ming explained, “I have a friend who shares your interests and happens to be quite wealthy. He's been looking for a kindred spirit. I'm sure he'd be eager to befriend you. He could cover your debts and even provide you with funds to continue your pursuits.”
Hsu Chenyang's eyes grew wide with astonishment.
Could such good fortune really exist?
This was an unexpected windfall.
Hsu Chenyue listened to Su Ming with growing bewilderment.
Overjoyed, Hsu Chenyang exclaimed, “Is that true?”
Su Ming's smile widened. “Absolutely. Just wait, I'll arrange for him to meet you.”
“Great!”
Hsu Chenyang was trembling with excitement, his hands fidgeting with anticipation. He felt fortunate that Su Ming was about to become part of his family.
Hsu Chenyue's confusion deepened, yet she remained silent.
Even though she hadn't known Su Ming for very long, she sensed there had to be a reason behind his actions.
After finishing his sentence, Su Ming stepped aside, pulled out his cellphone, and dialed a number.
An excited voice answered: “Mr. Su, we owe you big time for your help last time. We've successfully convicted Wai Chengguo. Rest assured, Mr. Su, we've returned the money he swindled from the two elderly gentlemen!”
It was Captain Wu on the line. Assuming Su Ming was inquiring about the previous incident, he launched into an update. Su Ming had no choice but to explain the situation in full.
After listening, Captain Wu mused for a few seconds before responding, “Indeed, we've had reports of an underground casino in the city. We've already sent a team to investigate. But the place is heavily guarded, and our officers haven't been able to infiltrate it or gather sufficient evidence. Mr. Su, you're helping us out once again. I get your drift. I'm on my way.”
“Great,” Su Ming replied.
With the call ended, Su Ming walked back to where Hsu Chenyang was standing.
Eagerly, Hsu Chenyang asked, “How did it go?”
With a reassuring smile, Su Ming said, “All is taken care of. My friend will be here shortly. He's agreed to help you settle your debts, on the condition that you show him a good time. He's got money to burn.”
Hsu Chenyang was ecstatic, nearly beside himself with joy.
Could there really be such generous people in the world?
He felt his luck was finally turning around!
As he waited in anticipation, a black jeep pulled up nearby.
Captain Wu stepped out, followed by two young men dressed in an outlandish fashion.
Approaching Su Ming with a smile, Captain Wu pointed at Hsu Chenyang and asked, “Brother Su, is this the man you mentioned?”
“Yes,” Su Ming confirmed with a nod.
Hsu Chenyang gave Captain Wu a sly grin.
“Brother Su, anyone you recommend is bound to be solid. He looks decent enough, though his style could use some work!” Captain Wu said, eyeing Hsu Chenyang. “Come over to my place, get cleaned up, and change into something more suitable. Then, you're going to take me gambling. That alright with you?”
Captain Wu gave Hsu Chenyang a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
“Don't worry, I've got this. I'm very familiar with the situation!”
Hsu Chenyang instantly stood taller, his chest swelled with pride.
He hadn't anticipated being of such use!
With great enthusiasm, Hsu Chenyang followed Captain Wu to the car. Before climbing in, he grasped Su Ming's hand, his eyes brimming with tears, “Brother-in-law, thank you! Once I strike it rich, I'll definitely bring you along to wealth!”
Su Ming gave a nod of acknowledgment.
With a tearful voice, Hsu Chenyang implored, “Brother-in-law, I have only one sister. You must treat her well.”
“Of course!”
Su Ming was at a loss for words.
Seeing that Hsu Chenyang had more to say, Su Ming gently nudged him into the car and shut the door behind him.
His hands now bore the grime from Hsu Chenyang's clothes, prompting him to head to the dining room to wash up. He wasn't one to judge others or a clean freak, but Hsu Chenyang was exceptionally dirty.
Seated in the car, Hsu Chenyang's excitement was palpable as he eagerly looked all around.
As the car sped toward the city center, his excitement soared. He knew that the city center was home to the affluent, so Su Ming couldn't have been deceiving him. The magnitude of change in his circumstances was beyond his wildest dreams.
Hsu Chenyang inquired, “Brother Wu, which complex do you live in? I'm parched. Is there beer at your place? What about food?”
Captain Wu responded with a hearty laugh, “Absolutely! You'll have more than just food and drinks. You'll receive a golden bracelet, your own personal butler, and a bachelor pad. You're in for a life of luxury!”
Upon hearing this, Hsu Chenyang was ecstatic, feeling as though he was living a dream in broad daylight!
