Chapter 61: Closing the Net

"Hey, hey, hey~~ Did you hear that? There is a dark horse in the North District, called 'Lucky Star', who has won four in a row! ”

In the Chinese labor camp, an overseer with pockmarked face excitedly held a newspaper and said.

"Of course I've heard about it, and I also know that the horse was enchanted by the Oriental Warlock, so I can always take the first place!"

Another overseer, with some protruding teeth, chimed in.

"What are you talking about?"

George walked into the overseer's lounge, hung his hat on the coat rack, walked over to his two companions, and reached for a newspaper.

"Lucky Star, a racing horse with magic cast! Yesterday's tournament it earned me a full £10! I'm going to bet them all on tomorrow! Lao Tzu is going to the most luxurious hotel in London for a meal, and then find a blonde chick to spend the rest of his life with~! ”

The pockmarked overseer said wistfully.

"Lucky Star? Is it really that powerful? ”

George raised an eyebrow and began to read the newspaper conjectures about the "lucky star".

The overseer with protruding teeth made himself a cup of coffee and said as he drank it: "I really regret that I bet less last time, George, if you want to buy it, you have to hurry up, otherwise this horse will be disposed of soon, after all, the horse that can always win is what the dealer does not want to see." ”

"So powerful? Take me with you the next time you buy it. ”

George rubbed his chin and was a little eager to try.

This scene in the camp is actually just a microcosm of the whole city, and the name of "Lucky Star" is almost universally known and makes people crazy.

In a secret room behind the fireplace of a tavern in the North District.

"Tommy, the bets for the next game have been calculated, a total of 650,000 pounds!"

John Shelby held the counts and couldn't believe his eyes.

Tommy put down his glass and looked at it, nodding his head, "It's time...... It's time to shed the halo of the 'lucky star'. ”

Just when everyone was thinking about using the "lucky star" to make a big profit, everyone didn't expect that an accident happened.

In the latest horse race, Lucky Star lost by half a length.

Yes, it lost, and the enchanted "Lucky Star" was no longer lucky, and although it was still fast, another young racehorse named "Red Rabbit" took its win.

Before this match, "Red Rabbit" who appeared in everyone's field of vision was almost unpopular, and this was Tommy's killer feature, and he began to close the net.

"Tommy~~~ You're such a genius! Do you know how much we earn? Do you know how much we earn? It's ours, all this money is ours! ”

Arthur had forgotten how he had questioned Tommy the other day, and now he looked at the pounds he had received, his eyes glowing with greed, and he wanted to throw himself into the pile of money and sleep with them in his arms tonight.

Tommy's expression was still calm, and he laughed and said, "Arthur, how did you check Mr. Zhou's whereabouts?" ”

Suddenly, Arthur's smile froze on his face, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"This ...... A while ago, I always thought that I would take over the family and forget about Mr. Zhou......"

"Hmph, you idiot, fortunately I also asked John to do it, remember, without Mr. Zhou, there would be no such large income today! I have already sent someone to check, Mr. Zhou, they were sent to the Mosak mine in the suburbs, which is secretly run by the Clay brothers, I have sent someone to tell them the news, you gather some people, if you contact Mr. Zhou, we must be ready to do it at any time. ”

"Okay, no problem with this, leave it to me!"

Arthur changed his previous negative attitude, put on his newspaper hat and strode out of the room to gather people.

If Tommy said that Mr. Zhou helped them earn so much money, then this God of Wealth must be protected.

But he said that Zhou Yu and others in the quarry had been working for half a month, and in this small half a month, he had already figured out the operation mode here.

The workers who came here were not paid even a penny, and they were all newcomers, homeless people, or members of rival gangs kidnapped from the streets by the Clay Brotherhood.

Some of these passive miners tried to escape, but unfortunately, they were buried in the rocky beach, and even their corpses were eaten by wild dogs.

Under the covert protection of Zhou Yu, reporter York narrowly completed his interview and evidence collection.

And today, there will be a truck out to buy away, which is the best time for him to escape.

"You must hold on until I come with the police to rescue you! This report will definitely cause a sensation when it is published, and I swear by my personality! ”

Zhou Yu looked at the generous martyr-like reporter in front of him, and smiled: "Good luck Mr. Reporter, we are all waiting for your good news." ”

The engine sounded and the truck was about to start, and the reporter York, who was lightly armed, climbed out of the room and looked left and right with his notebook full of notes, some evidence, and secretly taken photographs.

At this time, there will be two or three people patrolling the mine, and there will be a fixed guard on the high platform.

But today, these people inexplicably did not appear where they should have appeared, and although York was puzzled, he also knew that the opportunity was rare.

He took two quick steps, scrambling into the body just before the truck started.

Zhou Yu stood in the shadows in the corner of the room, watching York sneak into the truck smoothly, and silently prayed for him in his heart.

And the overseers who were supposed to be patrolling or standing guard outside were all in a fit of sleep at the moment, of course, it was a passive sleep.

"Let's go."

As soon as Zhou Yu beckoned, Wu Xiaolong, Hong Agui, and Hu Rentian each evacuated from their hiding places back to the miners' lounge, and squeezed into the Chase Shop as if nothing happened.

"Hell...... How did I fall asleep last night? I didn't take two sips. ”

"Besides, I slept soundly last night, and I haven't slept so well in a long time."

"Isn't it? We're both asleep, so who's going to patrol? ”

"It doesn't matter who he is, nothing happens, as long as the two of us don't say it, no one knows."

In this way, the guards and patrols fell asleep at the same time, and in order to avoid punishment, they tacitly did not tell the others, which also created quite a lot of time for the departure of the reporter comrades.

"Bruce Zhou, you unbeatable cockroach, go ahead and deliver stones to me!"

In the early morning of the second day, the chaotic quarry did not find a single person missing for a long time, and the overseers with leather whips and foxes and fake tigers knew nothing more than smoking, drinking, wielding leather whips, and swearing.

On the other hand, the Razor Party has used its own channels and connections to track down the whereabouts of Zhou Yu and his gang.

Tommy sent someone to tell Lu Xiucai the news, and secretly gathered men to prepare for a surprise attack on the quarry.

Fortunately, Lu Xiucai remembered Zhou Yu's instructions, according to his understanding of the latter, if Mr. Zhou felt that it was dangerous, he would have already slaughtered the staff there and brought his brothers back, but he had not moved, there must have been other schemes.

Lu Xiucai asked the member of the Razor Party who came to deliver the letter to bring a message back, telling Tommy that he only needed to monitor from a distance, and Zhou Yu must have his meaning in doing so, and it would not be too late to take action once he found out that there was something unusual in the quarry.
