Chapter 174: Chapter 173, Cousin Has No Way Out, Xu Wendong Asks VIP to Take Action

Xu Wendong panicked. Although he didn’t know what his cousin had encountered, it wasn’t hard to tell from his tone that he seemed to want to leave this world.

"Wendong, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gambled!"

Sobbing voices came through the phone: "I just wanted to have some fun, to relax a bit, but... but... I didn’t expect the stakes would get so high."

"I clearly had a great hand, three Aces, but I couldn’t go through with it, I just couldn’t!"

"Even though I embezzled public funds, the other party had me cornered, and I just couldn’t follow through."

"Now, except for death, I don’t know what to do."

"Brother, brother, don’t worry, I have money here. I’ll transfer it to you right now, just don’t do anything rash!" Xu Wendong tried to keep his emotions stable, but inside he was in chaos, because he heard the sound of the wind howling through the phone.

It was obvious, his cousin must have gone to a high place, intending to jump off a building.

"Wendong, I appreciate your intentions, but I’m on Ao Island, and the currency here is Ao Dollars!"

With just a few words, like a bolt from the blue, Xu Wendong was stunned in place.

Yes!

Even if he had billions in his bank account, what of it?

Ao Island uses Ao Dollars.

Even if he transferred all the money to his cousin, it’s already night, and he couldn’t make it to the bank in time to exchange it.

A strong sense of despair silently spread in his heart.

Then he thought of Zhang Tianlong, a master-level figure in the Feng Shui community of Guangdong Province, and immediately brightened up, saying, "Brother, do you trust me? You must trust me, otherwise you wouldn’t have entrusted sister-in-law to me."

"Since you trust me, can you give me a chance?"

"I know an influential person in Guangdong Province. I’ll call him right now and promise to help you solve this issue."

"Brother, you can’t lose hope!"

"If you leave, what about Uncle and Aunt?"

"What about sister-in-law?"

"What about me?"

"Can you give us all a chance?"

At this moment, Xu Wendong was truly scared. Having experienced the pain of his grandfather’s death, he had already gotten used to life and death, but his cousin was only twenty-five.

He couldn’t accept that he was being forced to jump off a building.

"Okay, I’ll wait for your news."

Xu Wendong quickly hung up the phone, found Zhang Tianlong’s mobile number, and dialed it immediately. The call was quickly connected, and a voice full of authority came from the other end: "Who is this!"

Xu Wendong identified himself: "Hello, Master Zhang, I am Xu Wendong from Qingyuan County. There is something I would like to trouble you with. Is it convenient for you?"

Upon hearing Xu Wendong’s name, Zhang Tianlong’s tone immediately became much more courteous: "Mister Xu, you are my lifesaver. It is my honor to be at your service."

"Master Zhang, you need not say it like that. Although I saved the lives of you and your disciples at South Lake, you also rewarded me." Xu Wendong continued, "This time, consider it a favor I owe you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. As long as it’s within my capabilities, I will do everything I can."

Zhang Tianlong responded quickly, "Mister Xu, please go on."

Xu Wendong said, "My brother is currently encountering some problems on Ao Island. I hope you can help him through this. I will send you his phone number, and you two can contact each other directly!"

"Alright!" Zhang Tianlong agreed immediately. Although he was born in Guangdong Province, he had many friends on Ao Island.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Wendong first greeted Xu Wenjian, then sent Zhang Tianlong’s number to his cousin.

Xu Wenjian was skeptical, doubting that his cousin could know someone important on this side. After all, he had just come of age and had never left the province, so how could he know someone influential in Guangdong Province?

But he was startled to see a phone number ending in 4444444.

A phone number with seven 4s certainly wasn’t owned by an ordinary person.

In the end, he decided to trust his cousin once, dialed Zhang Tianlong’s number, and politely said after connecting: "Hello, Mister Zhang, I am Wendong’s brother."

Zhang Tianlong replied politely, "Mister Xu, I’m currently also on Ao Island. Where are you located? Why don’t we meet and talk?"

Xu Wenjian said, "I’m currently at Baoli Casino City."

Zhang Tianlong laughed, "What a coincidence, I am near Baoli Casino City too. Let’s do this, I’ll head over right now. It’s about a three-minute journey. Let’s meet downstairs at Baoli Casino City."

"Okay, okay, I’ll go downstairs and wait for you right now." Xu Wenjian hung up the phone and hurriedly left the rooftop, taking the elevator to the entrance of the casino.

Just as he arrived, he saw a stretch Rolls-Royce Phantom approaching from a distance. Unlike other Rolls-Royces, this car had several license plates, allowing it to move freely between Hong Kong, Macao, and the mainland.

After the car stopped, the doorman immediately stepped forward to open the car door, and an emotionless elder in his fifties stepped out.

He was dressed in a gray Tang suit, his eyes sharp and bright, exuding an imposing presence.

Following behind him were two burly men, each at least two meters tall.

Upon seeing this person, Xu Wenjian quickly turned his head to another direction, but the elder approached directly, politely asking, "Are you Mister Xu?"

Xu Wenjian was astonished, "Are you Mister Zhang?"

Zhang Tianlong nodded with a smile, "Let’s walk and talk!"

"Okay, okay!"

Xu Wenjian nodded repeatedly. Although he couldn’t understand Zhang Tianlong’s background, he vaguely sensed that this person must be a big shot.

However, he was curious about how Wendong knew such a big shot and could make him come to help with just one phone call.

Although curious, Xu Wenjian did not ask much and explained his situation to Zhang Tianlong: "I just wanted to relax a bit while on a business trip, but the stakes kept getting higher, and I lost control, even embezzling fifty million in funds."

"I was thinking if I won this round, I would immediately replenish the public funds, but there are three parties left at the gambling table, and I can’t reveal my hand, and the other two parties are clinging on relentlessly."

"If I wasn’t at the end of my rope, I wouldn’t have gone to the rooftop!"

Zhang Tianlong understood, "Nine out of ten gamblers lose. What you’re experiencing is quite common at the gambling table, but it’s not a big issue. Since I promised Mister Xu, I will naturally help you settle it."

Zhang Tianlong’s tone was filled with strong confidence. Although he was from Guangdong Province, who in this Hong Kong and Macao area didn’t recognize him?

As they conversed, they took the elevator to a spacious casino, where a large round table was surrounded by people, all observing this rare high-stakes gamble.

After all, a game with over hundreds of millions involved wasn’t common even on Ao Island.

"Did you manage to borrow some money?" A forty-something middle-aged man sitting at the table with a smile asked. His name was Zeng Ping.

Another young man named Gao Jun sneered, "Just a mainland guy, how much money could he possibly borrow?"
