Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 119 - Operation’s Not Over

Chapter 119: Operation’s Not Over (Part one)

Chang Qing decided to temporarily stop Joseph’s car from going to the underground money house and go back to his villa.

Joseph’s face was grim as he said, “Give me an explanation.”

Chang Qing rubbed his temples and said, “Sir, right now one of our casino has been seized, and the money we lost is far greater than you. At a time like this, it’s already good enough if I can guarantee that you are not caught by the Huaxia police.”

Joseph lifted his eyebrows. “What? Your casino getting seized is your business, and what you are saying is, the 1 billion US dollars that I should be getting is not coming, right?”

Chang Qing said, “Don’t be nervous, my guy in the police system just phoned me that we got tailed, and if we go to the underground money house right now, we would both have been caught.”

“I don’t care, you guys promised to take care of this task, and something going wrong on your end is none of my business. I’m only responsible for getting the money and then going back to my country, so you don’t need to explain to me this kind of stuff. If you fack this deal up, then I will make things h.e.l.l for you and the underground money house you guys have business with.” Joseph wasn’t saving Master Qin any face.

Chang Qing gave him a cigar and a.s.sured him, “We just got one casino seized, which isn’t the worst case for us. Mr Joseph, I promise you, as long as our four brothers are still here, we will try our best to fill up the gap in your funds. You should trust me and leave Huaxia right away. Later on I will transfer your money back to you through the underground money house.”

“No, right now I’m doubting your abilities. I won’t go back if I don’t see the money first. Also, I lost about 300 million US dollars, I even suspect you guys were deliberately trying to dupe my money. What’s with that girl? I can see she’s not good at cards at all, yet she keeps winning! During critical moments, your casino staff didn’t even give me any clear signals for whether I should call or not. Really, I’ve seen through your ways. Let me tell you, here are two things. First, I take my money and leave. Second, if anything happens to me here, then sorry, the big clients of the Middle East behind me will not let you off the hook.”

Chang Qing’s face slightly changed. During the recent years, West Gate relied heavily on the gray income of these large clients to be able to thrive to the point that they were at today. If they screwed up this time, then they would likely lose most of their international clients, which would be extremely bad for the future development of West Gate.

“Mr. Joseph, give me one day. As long as we get through today not doing anything, the police will probably stop after arresting some people. We’ve been in business for a long time now, so you know we already built a trustworthy reputation.”

Joseph gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, but you guys must fill up the 300 million US dollars I lost.”

Chang Qing: “That’s impossible. You lost the money yourself, and we will only earn 50 million US dollars from this deal, where would we find you the 300 million? Mr. Joseph, please don’t step over the line.”

Joseph slammed his hand on the table. “Then go ask your dealer, what the fack was he trying to pull. Multiple times, he gave that woman a better hand yet he didn’t warn me. I really don’t believe it if you say this wasn’t a trap set by you guys! Mr. Chang, if you want to play me like this, then you can go talk to my boss!”

Outside the villa, Xu Cheng was listening to everything that was going on in the house, including every single word that was said. Very well, the plan of getting Shen Yao to win tons of Joseph’s money worked. Now, this guy didn’t know how to fill the huge hole of losses that he incurred and had no choice but to ask for help from West Gate.

Chapter 119: Operation’s Not Over (Part two)

Since you guys want to hide, then I will stir up this sh*t even more and make you guys fight harder!

Xu Cheng thought.

Xu Cheng still had another trump card, and that was the other client that was involved in money-laundering. Earlier, they also got information on another boss that runs a domestic freight company that was also involved in smuggling. He must have support from people in South Asia, or his business wouldn’t have been able to thrive to the point it was at now. Now, this businessman was already arrested during the seizing of the casino, and if he were to spread the news that he was set up by West Gate and swindled out of the money he was supposed to launder, things would get pretty interesting.

At the thought of this, Xu Cheng picked up his phone and called Wu Gang, “Go to the prison and get someone from North Gate. It’s best if it’s a guy that has a lot of connections in the underground world. Get him to cooperate on something.”

Wu Gang immediately nodded and answered, “Boss, I know what to do now.”

Xu Cheng: “Oh right, order some takeout and send it over for me. I’m going to stay here today until we get them all. Tell everyone that the operation’s not over. The big fish hasn’t even been caught yet.”

Wu Gang: “Yes, right away, Boss.”

After hanging up, Xu Cheng leaned back on the chair and continued to eavesdrop on everything going on inside the villa. During this period of time, the conversation between Chang Qing and Joseph already revealed a lot of clues. First of all, Chang Qing had tight business connections with the underground money house, and it was no wonder that West Gate could operate five casinos at once. It turned out that they had big sugar daddies behind their back.

During the half-day period, the news of the police seizing one of West Gate’s largest casinos spread like wildfire. In the underground world, that guy from North Gate that was let out already got into contact with the South Asian force behind that freight company’s boss, and told them all about how the money wasn’t received and the casino was seized instead. Not long after, Xu Cheng heard Chang Qing getting a call.

Seeing the number on the screen, Chang Qing’s face slightly changed.

“h.e.l.lo?”

“Mr. Chang, where are you?”

“I’m at home.”

“But my business partner’s at the police station, can you tell me what’s going on?”

Chang Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Allow me to explain.”

“Shut the fack up. Now, think of a way to get my business partner out of the police station and then wire over the 500 million dollars we asked you to launder plus another 100 million in compensation through the underground money house. If you fail to meet either one of the conditions, then I will make your villa a crime scene!” The voice on the other end of the call was ice cold. “I’ll give you one day of time. If you can’t do it in 24 hours, then you will receive a package.”

Chang Qing s.h.i.+vered, and the other guy already hung up the call. Furious, Chang Qing directly threw his phone against the wall.

Joseph sneered on the side. “Didn’t you say you have some spy in the police station? How did you guys screw up this time? I really don’t know why the underground money house picked you guys to work with. Why are you still in this game if you don’t have the capabilty?”

Chang Qing replied, “This time, if it wasn’t for the eye I planted at the police station, we would’ve been entirely wiped out! Besides, you think it’s so easy to bribe an insider into working with you? We’ve been doing too well recently, you think the police don’t know they have moles? The moment we bribe someone to work with us, the guy would get eliminated. Now, it’s already very hard to get someone to work with us.”
