CHAPTER 845: CHAPTER 569: COLONEL, HOW MANY MOUNTAINS COULD YOUR AMMUNITION BLOW UP?

"Are you still thinking about that damn gambling game?"

Liu Zheng was a bit helpless.

"The money I shared with you should already exceed the stakes, right?"

"Yeah, that’s why I recently increased the stakes and adjusted the odds."

Niu Ma said proudly.

"It looks like you really have too much free time. I’m hanging up."

Just as Liu Zheng hung up the phone, Shisan Yao’s call came in immediately after.

"Shi Tiantian agreed to meet you, but it wants to meet at Hundred Ghosts."

Shisan Yao said.

"That’s unnecessary, right? If it still wants me to give it a massage, we can go somewhere else."

He frowned and said.

Going to Hundred Ghosts would mean he had to disguise himself again.

If discovered, it would cause another scene.

Liu Zheng wasn’t afraid of trouble, but he wasn’t interested in causing it intentionally either.

"Do you think the medicinal bath it uses at Gaga Bathhouse is something any spa has? That’s our exclusive formula at Hundred Ghosts."

Shisan Yao said.

"Minister, can you help me get some?"

"Don’t even think about it. I don’t want to get whipped by that old woman again."

Shisan Yao refused without hesitation.

"Then can I meet Shi Tiantian as a guest?"

He asked after thinking a bit.

"Sure, I can arrange a private room for you."

Shisan Yao replied.

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you to make the arrangements, Minister."

Liu Zheng said.

"When are you coming over?"

Shisan Yao asked.

"Well, I wonder if Minister Shisan Yao would be willing to help me order some takeout?"

He rolled his eyes and said.

"No way."

Shisan Yao’s refusal was still decisive.

"Fine. I’ll let you know once I’ve set the time."

Liu Zheng didn’t pester further and directly hung up the phone.

"Who should I ask to order takeout?"

He thought while holding the phone.

Using restaurant scheduling time definitely won’t work. The distance from the city to outside is too far, and any mishap would cause lots of trouble.

"Boss, let me do it."

Niu Daji volunteered.

"No way. You’re my only subordinate, if you’re not usable, who else can I use?"

Liu Zheng said coldly.

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment, Boss."

Smart Niu Daji automatically interpreted it as a compliment from Liu Zheng.

"Hmm... not sure what you heard, but as long as you’re happy."

He couldn’t be bothered to understand this non-human thought process.

"Forget it, I’ll ask President Yuan for help instead."

Liu Zheng made a call to Yuan Baoer, the owner of "Gaga Bathhouse."

"President Yuan, it’s good to see you’re well. Have you and Secretary Li recovered from your injuries?"

Once the call connected, he asked enthusiastically.

"My injuries have almost healed, and Secretary Li has been sent to rehabilitation by me. Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your concern."

Yuan Baoer replied with a smile.

"But Mr. Liu, you’re not really considerate."

She changed her tone and said.

"How so, President Yuan?"

Liu Zheng was a bit puzzled.

"I heard from Brother Hui that not only did you use your own flesh to repay, but you paid off the debt right after. What, do you think my money is too dirty?"

Yuan Baoer’s tone sounded quite unhappy.

But she did have a reason to be upset.

Liu Zheng not only saved her life but also helped maintain "Gaga Bathhouse," a favor that could be described as life-saving.

The culture in Metropolis is either to not return kindness or to repay completely.

A life-saving benefactor using their own flesh and blood to pay the bill, if this gets out, who would dare to be Yuan Baoer’s benefactor again?

"I thought my flesh could regenerate. No harm in selling it."

Once Yuan Baoer mentioned this, Liu Zheng also realized his method was indeed inappropriate. He scratched his head awkwardly.

"You fell for Brother Hui’s trick. I’ve already arranged for someone to supervise him to destroy all your flesh, and warned him that if he pulls something like this again, we won’t even be siblings."

Yuan Baoer said sharply.

Although she and Hui San are of the same generation, as the head of the Yuan Family’s current generation, her status still suppresses Hui San.

"I see."

Recalling the situation back then, Liu Zheng realized.

But this can’t be entirely blamed on Hui San; he was also unwilling to owe Yuan Baoer a favor.

"Last time was my mistake. This time, I’ve come to trouble you on purpose."

He quickly said.

"Alright, I love it when you bring me trouble, the bigger, the better."

Yuan Baoer spoke with a grand tone.

"Don’t talk too big, if I say it and you can’t do it, it will be embarrassing."

Liu Zheng said deliberately.

"Humph, then I’ll massage your shoulders, hammer your legs, serve tea and water for you, be your maid for a day."

"Hehe, no sleepover included?"

He chuckled and said.

"What? Mr. Liu, are you interested in me? Alright, but no protection, and the child must take my surname if born."

Yuan Baoer was slightly surprised, then quickly said.

"No, I was just being cheeky. I was wrong."

Liu Zheng quickly admitted defeat.

"That’s a tad disappointing. Anyway, Mr. Liu, what do you need from me?"

Yuan Baoer’s voice became slightly colder.

"I’m going to meet with the Stone Spirit Clan at Hundred Ghosts, and I need you to arrange some takeout for me."

He said honestly.

"Stone Spirit Clan? Are you going to Ten Thousand Great Mountains?"

Not that Yuan Baoer, being in her position, didn’t quickly react.

"Yeah. But it’s not for the demons of Great Jiang Mountain."

Liu Zheng emphasized.

"No difference. You ruined their plans last time, even if you don’t seek them out, they’ll come after you."

Yuan Baoer said.

"Hmm, you’re right, which is why I came to you for help."

"This doesn’t count as help, I’ve been wanting to settle scores too, just didn’t have a chance yet. When are you going?"
