Elder brother's garrison

"...Um, you're not going to back out, are you?" Daii frowned subconsciously when he saw the man's confused expression.

"Change your mind...?" the man repeated blankly.

"You..." Da Jing thought the man had really gone back on his word, and angrily pointed at the man's nose, shouting, "You shameless bastard!"

"Admiral, watch out! Get behind me!"

Right after Ooi spoke, Kitakami also stood up from behind the mahjong table in perfect unison. She took three steps in two and immediately went to Xiaobai's side, stretching out her arms like a mother hen to protect Xiaobai behind her.

The atmosphere at the mahjong table suddenly became tense.

"Crash!!"

It's like the pulling force of air.

After Beishang and Dajing made their moves, the burly men who had been silently surrounding the mahjong table all stepped forward at once. Their footsteps echoed loudly on the cement floor, giving the impression that they were ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Looking around at the situation.

The two ship girls watching behind Xiaobai sighed.

"Sigh, it seems we still have to fight... Why didn't we just do this earlier..." Pompeii muttered under her breath. She clenched her little fists, looked up with a hint of dissatisfaction, and stared intently at the burly men around her.

"..." Iahua didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and silently pulled Xiaoyu into her arms, placing her hands on Xiaoyu's small shoulders.

"Everyone, stand down!"

However, just as it seemed that a fight was about to break out, a loud, angry bang suddenly burst from the man in the suit.

He heard this angry shout.

The burly men who had stepped forward all lowered their heads, then took a step back and remained silent.

Xiaobai and the ship girls shifted their gaze from the burly men around them to the man in the suit in front of the mahjong table.

The man in the suit looked somewhat pale. He sat at the mahjong table, his eyes still filled with confusion, but they were much clearer than before.

His originally arrogant gaze softened with a newfound humility, now clouded by confusion.

He noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.

The man in the suit gave a helpless, bitter smile. He took a deep breath and bowed to Xiaobai, Dajing, and Beishang one by one.

"I apologize... I failed to discipline them properly, and these blind subordinates have disturbed the three of you."

"...You're not going back on your word?" Daii looked at the man in the suit who had suddenly become polite with considerable surprise.

"..." The man in the suit shook his head. He looked down at the neatly arranged mahjong tiles on Da Jing's seat, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. "...I was blind to your greatness. Your abilities far surpass mine."

“…Oh.” Dai-i blinked. “So you mean the bet stands, and you can release Xiao-yu’s father?”

“Alright.” The man in the suit lowered his hands. He paused for a moment, then looked up at Ooi with a hopeful expression. “However… I have a favor to ask… I hope you can help me with this.”

"Ok?"

"Just now, Miss, your technique was so swift and clean that even with my abilities, I couldn't find a single flaw in your movements..." The man in the suit seemed to be using all his strength to say this, his whole body trembling slightly. "Could you... explain a little bit more..."

"...You mean you want me to perform again?" Ooi asked.

“Exactly.” The man in the suit bowed his head and pleaded sincerely.

Ooi and Kitakami exchanged a glance.

Bei Shang closed his eyes and shrugged.

Ooi nodded, then casually picked up a mahjong tile from the table, placed it in his palm, and handed it to the man.

"Watch closely." Under the man's gaze, Ooi gently covered the mahjong tiles. "Do you remember what tiles you just saw?"

"Is it Yaoji?" the man asked.

"And now?" Ooi asked.

"...This..." The man looked at Ooi's hand in confusion. "Miss's collar is slender and tight, close to her wrist, which doesn't look like she's hiding any cards, and I didn't see you make any movement to switch cards..."

"Take a guess."

"...Then, I guess it means to make a fortune."

"Wrong." Daijing opened her hands, and a long salted fish suddenly appeared in her palm as if by magic. She held it tightly. "It's a salted fish."

"..." The man in the suit stared in astonishment at the large salted fish in Ooi's hand, which was at least half the length of Ooi's arm. "This..."

I was shocked for several seconds.

The man in the suit finally caught his breath. He looked up at Da Jing, and the confusion in his eyes instantly turned into deep respect. He raised his hands and bowed to Da Jing again, saying, "Incredible! I admire you!"

"...Hmph." Dai-i hoisted the salted fish onto his shoulder.

"I have another question," the man in the suit asked cautiously.

"what?"

“The previous round… I didn’t see any communication between you two. Why is it that this Miss Lin can match cards with Miss Beishang from the previous round so accurately?” The man in the suit looked at Xiaobai with hope.

“…Me?” Xiaobai pointed to himself.

"Exactly."

"I really didn't communicate with Bei Shang and the others..." Xiao Bai smiled sheepishly.

"But Miss Lin, the way you fed the cards just now was so precise and consistent... it was truly..."

"Ah, well," Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly, "How should I put it... it's because I know what cards you all have."

"...?" The man in the suit stood there, stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Because I memorized the positions of all the mahjong tiles when I was shuffling them..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, then reached out and touched a tile from the wall of tiles. "For example, this one is a 7 of Wan."

Xiao Bai flipped over the cards on the mountain of cards.

"The card below the 70,000 is the Three of Bamboo, and after the Three of Bamboo are the East Wind, South Wind, Nine of Bamboo, and White Dragon..." Xiao Bai said, then smiled sheepishly, "Well... in short, that's about it."

"...Ah, a deity descended to earth! I sincerely admire you!" The man in the suit raised his hand in surprise, bowing deeply to Xiaobai. "So, in that case, the three Heavenly Listening Houses I initially chose were also the result of you using some unknown, advanced techniques..."

"That was just pure luck..."

"That's because you're really unlucky."

"You're so unlucky."

Xiaobai and Kitakami Daii spoke at the same time.

The man in the suit remained frozen in mid-air, his hands clasped in front of him.

"Ah... I see... so that's how it is." The man lowered his head, looking at his tiles on the mahjong table, and suddenly sighed in realization, "Hahahaha, I see, I see... I see! Hahahaha!"

The man in the suit suddenly burst into laughter. He pushed back his chair and, while laughing, slapped the air three times.

"Hahahaha!! Release them!!"

As soon as the man in the suit finished shouting, the burly man guarding the man tied to the chair pulled out a dagger and swiftly cut the ropes binding the man.

"Ugh! Ugh!" The man, now free, rolled off the chair with tears of joy in his eyes. He ripped the tape off his face, staggered to his feet, and ran towards Iowa, calling out, "Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu!!"

"Daddy!" Little Yu, in Iowa's arms, saw her father and smiled, raising her hands as she skipped and hopped towards him. "Daddy! Sister Beishang took me out to play all day! Where did you go all day?"

"I...I...I went to talk business with those uncles...I'm alright, I'm back...I..." The man knelt on the ground, hugging Xiaoyu tightly in his arms. He stammered through tears, "Thank you...thank you...thank you so much..."

The man in the suit glanced at Xiaoyu's father, who was kneeling on the ground, holding Xiaoyu and crying softly. He silently withdrew his gaze and bowed to Xiaobai and Dajing Beishang.

“Ladies, I will remember your teachings today. It seems I still have a long way to go on the path of mahjong. Thank you very much.” The man in the suit paused slightly. “As for the loan, I will keep my word. From now on, the interest will be waived, and we will only collect the principal.”

"Excuse me, how much money did Xiaoyu's father borrow?" Xiaobai asked the man in the suit.

"Two hundred thousand."

"Two hundred thousand..." Xiaobai turned around and looked at the man kneeling on the ground. She thought for a moment, "How much has he paid back?"

"I've already paid back 28,000 yuan."

"The remaining 172,000..." Xiaobai took out her phone, "Can I scan the QR code?"

"..." The man in the suit stared blankly at Xiaobai, "Uh..."

"what happened?"

"Are you going to help him pay it back?"

"Paying back debts...it's only right. Xiaoyu's parents took care of my two friends in Fish City for so long, it's only right." Xiaobai nodded, "Anyway, it's just the principal, right?"

“…Okay.” The man waved, and a burly man behind him came up with a piece of white paper printed with a QR code.

Xiao Bai raised his hand and swept it across the white paper.

There was a beeping sound.

Xiao Bai's allowance has been reduced by a small amount.

"Yes, I have received it." The man in the suit bowed respectfully to Xiaobai. "I have benefited greatly today. After playing with the three of you, I realized my shortsightedness. I will go into seclusion to continue to hone my mahjong skills. I hope to have the opportunity to compete with the three ladies again in the future."

"...Uh..." Xiaobai turned her head awkwardly. "Um...um...well...maybe we'll meet again someday..."

"Hahaha, things change! Goodbye everyone!" The man in the suit laughed wildly, then waved his hand, "Let's go!"

The man in the suit turned around and got into the van behind him.

With a roar of its engine, the van sped off toward the entrance of the small community.

then.

Suddenly, another series of beeping sirens sounded.

Police cars poured into the residential compound one after another, surrounding the van before it could leave.

A group of righteous police officers jumped out of the police car.

"Get out of the car!! We are police officers! We have received a report that someone is engaged in loan sharking and is also suspected of kidnapping and causing trouble! Please get out of the car immediately and cooperate with our investigation!"

Police officers in uniform surrounded the van and banged on the van door.

The van opened.

The bewildered man in the suit and a group of burly men stared blankly at the police officers below the car.

"No... Officers, you've arrested the wrong people. We were just passing by..."

"We just witnessed you making a huge transaction of 170,000 yuan with the whistleblower! Caught red-handed! We are now arresting you on charges of illegal detention, disturbing public order, intentional injury, forced trading, and suspected vehicle overloading! Please come with us. I repeat, please get out of the car immediately and cooperate with our investigation!"

"..."

The man in the suit turned his head with a bewildered look and looked at Xiao Bai and the others in the middle of the community.

Xiao Bai smiled shyly from a distance and waved towards the van.

That smile seemed to say something.

Like saying, "I'm so sorry... but may you rest in peace."

Hold the grass!

Hold the grass, hold the grass! !

Hold the grass, hold the grass, hold the grass! ! !

The man gasped.

A sense of shock, as if betrayed, instantly rushed to my head.

"You, you all!! You actually plotted against me!!!"

The man screamed in anger.

It pierced through the entire residential area in an instant.

Chapter 1339 The door opens.

But no matter how angry the man is.

Ultimately, it was all in vain.

The chaotic neighborhood was quickly restored to its former tranquility thanks to the swift action of the police officers.

The men in suits and burly men in the van were escorted by police officers under close guard and into police cars, leaving the residential area one after another amidst the wailing of sirens.

The van was also lifted out of the community by a crane.
