Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Brother Specializes in Dealing with Such People

During the festive season, especially the New Year, people would not only go out with their families to scenic spots and famous mountains but would also crowd into their own homes or those of friends and relatives to gamble.

Of course, gambling at home is different from the high-stakes gambling seen in casinos; it’s about gambling for fun to facilitate relationships.

Although relatives are related by blood, they seldom interact on a regular basis. Therefore, when they gather, it is natural for the atmosphere to become cold and awkward if they don’t share common interests. This is where the concept of "gambling for fun" comes into play.

During the New Year, the typical forms of family gambling include simple and common games like mahjong, Landlord, and Bullfight.

Furthermore, the stakes among relatives are usually low, primarily for enhancing relationships and having fun.

However, there were exceptions.

After spending three peaceful and leisurely days at home, on the fourth day, you were still in bed when your phone rang early in the morning.

You had watched a TV series with Zhao’er all night; having only gone to sleep after 3 a.m., you reached out groggily, your hand brushing against something crisp and soft, which you instinctively grabbed.

"Hmm~"

A moan that could elevate someone to immortality escaped with Zhao’er’s breath as she turned over in her deep sleep!

The ringtone continued.

With your right hand trapped, you had no choice but to stretch out your left.

But because your right hand felt as if it had melted, you felt utterly devoid of strength, struggling mightily as if crossing mountains and rivers, enduring countless hardships before finally grabbing your phone. "Hello..."

"Boss, the sun’s high up already, why are you still sleeping?"

"What is it? Spit it out!"

At that moment, Zhao’er turned over, her delicate body flipping into your arms.

"Tired... sleep more."

With that, Zhao’er wrapped her arms around your neck, making you wish you could continue holding the beauty in your arms and sleep until the world goes dark, never attending the morning court again.

"Boss, I’ve got a relative who ran into some trouble and wants your help."

"What happened?"

"I’m not entirely sure. He said he can only tell you when you get here. It seems to involve a cat somehow."

"A cat?" Perking up slightly at this, your sleepiness vanished. "Lucky Cat?"

"Yes, exactly, the Lucky Cat, you know about this?"

You didn’t respond immediately. After a pause, you asked gruffly, "Where are you?"

"I’ll text you the details."

"Okay, fine."

After hanging up, Zong Wangyue promptly sent you a text message.

Pulling yourself out of Zhao’er’s tender embrace was difficult, but you managed to soothe her back to sleep like coaxing a child.

As you quietly left the room and closed the door behind you, your mother and Little Qinniang were sitting in the living room watching Animal Planet.

"Going out?"

Seeing you not dressed in pajamas, your mother turned and asked.

"Yes, Zongzi ran into some trouble; I’m going to check it out."

"Make sure to charge them; if the other party is a nouveau riche or a wealthy tycoon, scam them mercilessly. You know the rules, right?"

You touched your nose and said with a smile, "Got it."

"Where’s Zhao’er?" Seeing you heading straight for the shoe cabinet at the entrance, your mother asked again.

"She’s still sleeping."

"That girl, the sun’s already shining on her ass; why isn’t she up yet?"

"She went to bed late, let her sleep in."

Your mother, unlike other housewives, mentioned Zhao’er for another reason. She looked at you, saying, "When you have time, keep an eye on Zhao’er. Haven’t you noticed that she’s been sleeping longer than usual these past few days?"

Taken aback, you hadn’t noticed: "Really? It might just be because we’re at home. It should return to normal when school starts."

"Hmm, maybe I’m just overthinking it then," your mother nodded, "Looking at you, it seems you won’t be back for lunch. Don’t drink alcohol while you’re out."

Like all mothers around the world, she began to nag as soon as you stepped out.

Hurrying to put on your shoes, you left in a rush.

Half an hour later, you drove into an estate west of the city.

"Boss."

Zong Wangyue had been waiting for a while, accompanied by either Qiu Ju or Dongxue—you couldn’t tell which twin it was.

"Master Li, Dongxue greets you."

Dongxue gave you a graceful bow.

Compared to the Dongxue you had met before, you noticed that her Essence Energy seemed much fuller, her expression carrying a hint of happiness.

Turning to Zong Wangyue, you patted his shoulder and remarked, "Such a lovely girl following you; you’re lucky indeed. Treat her well, and if I hear you mistreat her or her sister, you’ll regret it."

You waved your fist at Zong Wangyue.

"Boss, I care too much for them!"

Nodding, you said, "Let’s go, take me to your relative."

"Alright!" Zong Wangyue stepped forward, leading the way. After a few steps, he suddenly turned back, "Oh, by the way, this relative of mine is quite rich but uneducated, he’s used to looking down on others. If he offends you with his words, Boss, don’t hold back on my account, teach him a lesson if needed!"

With a slight smile, you responded, "Don’t worry, I specialize in handling such people."

Normally, you wouldn’t bother with Zong Wangyue’s relatives, but this time it was different, mainly because of the Lucky Cat.

On New Year’s Eve, you had already taken note of this matter. You thought it was isolated, but it turned out there were other cases.

Moreover, there were some key points you hadn’t quite figured out, especially those eight coffin nails.

"How long has he been dealing with this Lucky Cat?"

"I’m not too sure, but at least six months."

"Six months?" Frowning, you hadn’t expected such a significant time gap.
