Chapter 12: Fat Worms
What happened behind the scenes, of course Nie Chen, who was dressed up, didn't know.
He was sitting in a taxi, looking at his phone.
What appeared on the mobile phone was the business project of the casino that he was about to go to, and the dazzling introduction followed Nie Chen's index finger and kept moving with the progress bar on the screen, and it was not to the end for a long time.
"That's a lot of tricks. Nie Chen muttered, thought about it, closed the page, and dialed a number.
"Toot toot toot...... Hey, who's that?"
On the other end of the earpiece, a lazy voice sounded, listening to the tone, the kind that should not have gotten up yet.
"It's me, Nie Chen. Nie Chen replied calmly.
"Brother Chen!?" the voice was startled, and the pitch was raised an octave, and you could tell by feeling that the person over there must have jumped out of bed.
"Where have you been all this time? I can't find you anywhere, and there is no one in the company, I heard that Kowloon ......"
"Don't be busy talking about anything else, you come over now and come to the West Lake Mansion. Nie Chen interrupted him, and he couldn't refuse: "There are good things." ”
"A good thing?" He hesitated: "West Lake Mansion?"
"Yes, we'll talk about it later. Nie Chen stopped saying and hung up the phone.
The car was speeding down the road, the buildings on the side of the road were falling backwards like arrows, and the taxi drivers were all veterans of the road, and in a short time, they were out of the city, galloping on the road with fields on both sides.
Nie Chen closed his eyes and sat in the car for almost an hour, and the car arrived at the place.
Nie Chen paid, got out of the car, and the taxi slipped away.
It is a beautiful suburb, and everything in the city is like dust blown by the wind, far away from the dense woods on the surrounding mountains.
This mountain range, called Xishan, is one of the few green protected areas in the coastal urban agglomeration, there are several places between the waters, the forests and lakes within a radius of more than 100 kilometers constitute the rare urban lungs in the reinforced concrete building pile, several tall peaks stand tall in the high places, the green trees become forests, the trees become yin, the egrets fly on the water, the birds sing among the branches, in the morning when the morning fog is filled, the foraging squirrels jump up and down from the branches, looking for nuts to satisfy the stomach, butterflies and dragonflies are interspersed and flying, dotted on the green grass, extraordinarily beautiful。
It stands to reason that in such a nature reserve, the law stipulates that there will be no large artificial buildings, otherwise the popularity will inevitably destroy the natural atmosphere and affect the style of the scenic spot.
However, in this place where all kinds of laws are strict, there is the most luxurious, extravagant and mysterious casino in Jiangcheng: the West Lake Mansion.
Since the mountain is called West Mountain, the largest lake in the mountain is of course called West Lake, the lake surface is vast, the water is rippling, the birds are frightened, the ripples are rippling, in the middle of the lake, there is a small island, there is a three-storey antique building built on the island, almost occupies most of the ground on the island, the carved beams and painted buildings, the eaves hang the corners, extremely magnificent.
A shocking bridge crosses the lake, connecting the island and the lakeshore, and there are strict guards at both ends of the bridge deck, and there are also speedboats cruising on the lake, except for gamblers who enter the island to consume, ordinary tourists are forbidden to approach.
The place where Nie Chen got off the car was on the side of the bridge near the lakeshore, and it was still far from the group of black-suited guards guarding the bridge.
He glanced a few times, then lowered his head, sat down on the stone by the side of the road, and began to smoke.
The surroundings are quiet, there is no trace, ordinary people, who do not want to make trouble for themselves, will consciously stay away from this kind of high-end place of right and wrong, so even if Nie Chen squats on the side of the road and sprays smoke everywhere, no one will pay attention.
The road was not quiet, and from time to time there were one high-end car after another, passing in front of Nie Chen and rushing towards the island in the middle of the lake. The cars are good cars, they are all large-displacement high-level cars, and ordinary people can't afford them at all.
Looking through the car window, there were only two kinds of people sitting inside, the fat-headed and big-eared high roller and the flowery beauty, the smell of cigarette leaves from the cigar smoke as thick as two fingers and the smell of perfume so strong that it wafted out of the car window, mixed into a strange hormone-like smell.
Nie Chen wiped his nose twice, looked at it expressionlessly, smoked his cigarette, looked at the cars that drove by, and then looked at the buildings on the island, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After about two hours, the sound of an elephant eating the wrong thing and farting violently came from the distant road.
Nie Chen heard this, grinned, threw the cigarette butt on the ground where more than ten cigarette butts had been piled up, and stood up.
The sound of farting sounded for a while, and an old motorcycle showed its outline on the road.
A fat man rode on it, wearing a leather jacket, leather pants and leather boots that did not match his figure, a white skull with a skull imprinted on the vest, and a standard biker outfit, but several sizes larger.
Even from a long distance, his physique could still be clearly seen, this man weighed at least two hundred pounds, and pressed on a motorcycle, like an elephant pressed on a donkey.
The fat man also saw Nie Chen, who was dressed in a suit, and slammed in front of him.
He jumped out of the car excitedly and threw the helmet on his head to the ground, revealing a sleek head.
"Brother Chen, what are you still standing here? The grandson of the Kowloon Society said that you have done something to offend them, it is very serious, they must deal with you, you go out quickly to avoid the limelight!"
The fat man danced with his hands, and before he could stand on his feet, he spoke loudly, looking flustered and talking with concern.
This is Nie Chen's best brother in Jiangcheng, a lifelong friendship, unemployed homeless Meng Yu, nicknamed Fat Worm.
Both of them are outsiders, there is no root here, duckweed-like characters, they meet by chance, they smell the same, and they are as good as brothers.
If Nie Chen had anything to trust, he couldn't think of a second one except for the fat worm.
"Ah, what's wrong with your eyes? Damn, it's so serious, even my head is wrapped!"
The fat worm's mouth was spitting, but it was pulled by Nie Chen and came to the side of the road.
"What are you doing here? Come with me, I'll take you away...... Where did you get your watch? Yo, a famous brand!"
The fat worm's attention was diverted, and just as he began to grab Nie Chen's wrist to take a closer look, Nie Chen twisted his face in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake.
"Fat worm, I know you worked in it, I have tens of thousands of dollars on me, I want to go in and gamble, you have to think of a way. ”
The fat worm's eyes widened for a moment, and then he laughed, and when his round face laughed, it became a little bigger, and he looked very unbeaten.
"Hahaha, what are you kidding? Tens of thousands of yuan? Is that a place where tens of thousands of dollars of people can enter? The smallest chips in it are all sold for 5,000 yuan, it is a high-end place, membership, no one can get in without membership!" After he finished laughing, he patted Nie Chen's shoulder sympathetically: "Brother Chun, if you want to make some money and run away, let's go to another place, there are many places like Jiangcheng, why bother to go to a place where rich people play if you are not interested?"
"Don't be verbose, just say, can you get in?" Nie Chen didn't care, just asked him.
"Do you really want to go?" the fat worm looked at him in surprise, and the hand that patted his shoulder unconsciously stopped, and looked at Nie Chen's one-eyed, feeling the firmness coming from there.
"Of course you have to go, Fat Worm, the West Lake Mansion is the largest in Jiangcheng, the bigger the place, the bigger the win or loss, and people like me won't be noticeable if they win money. Nie Chen explained simply: "In ordinary places, if you win hundreds of thousands, you will be monitored, and even people can't get out if you win millions, only in this kind of place where high rollers gather, will there be room for me to show." ”
The fat worm's gaze changed from surprise to incomprehension, and then evolved into loneliness, he scratched his scalp and said: "You can enter, there are a few brothers who know the door inside, but ...... Brother Chun, why do you say that you will win? The dealers in it are all masters, fast and experienced, winning or losing are in their thoughts, and how many wealthy businessmen and giants are planted in it. ”
He thought of something in vain, and shouted: "Don't you want to come up with a thousand, don't you? But don't! I was caught inside, and I was absolutely dead, and I was chopped up and thrown into the lake to feed the fish, and the corpses were destroyed, and even the police did not evacuate!"
Nie Chen glanced at him helplessly, tried to show a smile that expressed reassurance, and said, "Don't worry, it's going to be fine, we're ......"
Before the words fell, with a deafening roar of a huge engine, a red supercar flew in front of him in the blink of an eye from a distance, and with a "bang", the fat worm's motorcycle flew up.
