Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre
Chapter 274 Old Acquaintance
Lu Yang stopped and looked coldly at the people who had been following him.
Those people pretended to look around.
Lu Yang sneered and went straight to find the security guards.
The security guards quickly apprehended the men, who were all He Yunwei's subordinates.
After He Yunwei's downfall, the bar also closed down, leaving them without a livelihood and only able to wander around aimlessly.
Many of them went to work in other places, and the rest took on odd jobs.
These people were hired by Lan Siqi to keep an eye on Lu Yang.
Lu Yang felt they weren't telling the truth, so he continued to press them for answers.
These thugs were beaten badly and had no choice but to compromise in the end.
"He asked me to steal something from you, like a watch, wallet, ID card, or a cell phone."
"I don't know what use she is, but she gives us money as long as we get these things."
Lu Yang stared intently at them and urged, "Continue."
The thugs waved their hands: "That's all, that's all."
Judging from their appearance, they don't seem to be lying.
Lu Yang became puzzled, wondering what Tang Siqi was up to.
Lu Yang recalled a suspense movie he had watched before, in which someone deliberately left other people's belongings at the crime scene.
They staged it as if someone else had killed someone and accidentally left behind their personal belongings.
He frowned, unsure of what to do with these thugs.
After all, they didn't cause any real harm to Lu Yang. Even if they were thrown into the police station now, he would be released in a day or two.
But these guys are always up to no good and are capable of anything.
Letting them off so easily is far too lenient on them.
As Lu Yang hesitated, the security captain walked over and said casually, "Boss Lu, if you really don't know what to do with them, don't let us take them away."
The thugs were immediately terrified, their faces turning ashen. Lu Yang asked in confusion, "Where are you planning to take them?"
Lu Yang is not some lawless madman; he would never tolerate these people doing illegal and disorderly things.
The security captain grinned and said smugly, "We're currently setting up the Xishan Warehouse. It's right behind this shopping mall and will be used to store goods."
"The old warehouse is not enough, we have to build a new one, and we happen to be short-handed."
Lu Yang said helplessly, "Don't kill him."
The security captain laughed loudly: "How could that be? We're legally employed; we have to sign labor contracts. We're all legitimate business people now."
Lu Yang stared at the guy speechlessly, then left with a few thugs.
He wandered around the mall for a while, noting which clothes from the Qingjin clothing brand sold best and which sold worst.
He looked at the other items, made some notes, and then left the mall.
After the New Year, Lu Yang found Li Chen and asked him directly about the current situation in Tangjin City.
Li Chen stretched and stood up, saying, "I'll take you to see for yourself, you'll see. This guy is living a really good life now."
Lu Yang certainly didn't believe that someone like Li Chen would support idlers, and he didn't think Tang Jincheng could live a very comfortable life.
But he didn't argue with Li Chen; instead, he followed him into the casino.
The underground casino was very lively, bustling with crowds of people.
Li Chen pointed to Tang Jincheng, who was serving tea and water in the corner, and said, "This guy is doing really well here now. He can even help people play a couple of games in his spare time and earn some tips."
Lu Yang found it hard to believe; he thought Tang Jincheng would be half-crippled by now.
After all, he genuinely owed Li Chen 5 yuan.
Li Chen values money very much.
So he asked Li Chen in a low voice, "How long does he have to work here to pay back your 5 yuan high-interest loan?"
Li Chen gestured for Lu Yang to sit at an empty table and said with a smile, "He paid it all off a long time ago. He mortgaged one of his houses in his hometown to me, so now he's just working here. I treat him like an ordinary employee."
Lu Yang frowned. He really hadn't expected that Tang Jincheng would sell even his last assets in order to escape his predicament.
Even though he had paid off his gambling debts, Li Chenyi had no intention of letting him go.
Tang Jincheng probably realized that he couldn't win, so he had no choice but to join them, otherwise he might be bullied to death by these people.
Tang Jincheng quickly noticed Lu Yang. A hint of resentment flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it and turned back to greet the other guests.
Lu Yang noticed the guy's reaction, but he didn't care at all. He even wanted to laugh a little because the guy was no match for him at all.
He courted death by gambling, so it's no surprise he ended up in this situation.
Li Chen then called out to Lu Yang, "Shall we play a couple of rounds?"
"I'm not into this, you should find someone else to play with."
Lu Yang resolutely refused. He didn't know if gambling was harmless, but it was definitely addictive.
He never considered himself a person of unwavering resolve, so he didn't want to gamble with his bottom line.
Li Chen glanced at Lu Yang casually; he knew exactly what Lu Yang was thinking.
Many people don't want to gamble, so they resolutely refuse to gamble. Lu Yang has seen many people like that.
People with such self-control, even if they can't achieve anything great, can at least make a decent living.
Li Chen simply found a few other people to keep him company, while Lu Yang sat on the side drinking tea, eating snacks, and watching the fun. Before they knew it, most of the night had passed.
Lu Yang could see Tang Jincheng constantly wandering around the casino, busy as a bee.
He took over all the work from the other guys, making it seem like he was the only one working in the entire casino.
He didn't think Tang Jincheng was such a diligent person. This guy's sudden change of heart must mean he's planning something big.
Around midnight, Lu Yang got up and said goodbye to Li Chen.
Li Chen nodded and continued playing his mahjong, showing no intention of trying to persuade Lu Yang to stay.
Lu Yang walked out of the casino with his hands in his pockets. He hadn't gone far when he saw a figure flash past him.
He thought he was seeing things, so he stopped.
Looking around, I realized that there was indeed a person standing in the corner.
However, he was hidden in the darkness, and Lu Yang could not see his face or figure clearly.
Lu Yang touched the switchblade in his pocket and continued walking forward, pretending to be nonchalant.
He was actually holding a knife in his hand the whole time, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the person behind him at any moment.
"Cousin, please help me."
The person quietly emerged from the shadows, their voice very weak.
Lu Yang was taken aback; he felt the voice was very familiar.
When I turned around, I saw that Lu Qing had come out from the corner.
There was actually someone behind her, Shen Xuwen.
"What's wrong with you two? Isn't Shen Xuwen from around here? Why don't you just deliver it to his home?"
Lu Qing wiped away her tears and said weakly, "His leg is broken. If I send him home now, his parents will kill me."
