<h4>Chapter 727: Chapter 0729: Competing for Business</h4>


    Liu Yue was taken aback, then shook her head, "No, why do you ask?"


    Chu Ge shook his head. "I was just curious why you were discussing shopping issues with them; don’t all women love shopping?"


    Liu Yue’s lips curled into a bitter smile, as she gently shook her head, "No, not all girls like shopping."


    In fact, it wasn’t that she disliked it, but shopping required spending money, and when even basic sustenance was an issue for her, where would she find extra money to go shopping?


    Chu Ge did not initially consider this, but seeing the deste expression on Liu Yue’s face, he suddenly understood and looked at Liu Yue apologetically, embarrassedly saying, "I’m sorry, Sister Liu Yue, I didn’t mean to."


    Liu Yue shook her head, "It’s okay."


    After the meal was finished, only Chu Ge and Liu Yue were rtively sober at the table.


    Lin Dong was also half-squinting, half-drunk, as it was his first time using ancient martial arts to sober up, and his skills were still unpolished.


    Jian Chunqiu, on the other hand, did not use ancient martial arts to sober up at all; it seemed like he was intentionally getting drunk, exining in his usual words that he was now an ordinary person and should live an ordinary life.


    Given how much he drank, by his tolerance, he should have been drunk already.


    Mu Bingtong and Nangong Man Sha had gone out shopping, while Liu Yue went straight back to the Gambling Stone Field.


    Since Lin Dong was still slightly drunk, Chu Ge decided to let him go back and rest.


    Chu Ge sent Jian Chunqiu and Lin Dong back to the vi, then returned to the Gambling Stone Field.


    However, just as he returned to the Gambling Stone Field, he saw it noisy inside, not the typical noise of gambling stones, but the noise of someone causing trouble.


    "Where is the person in charge here? Call him out!" The person swung a stick in the air unapologetically, causing those around to fearfully step back several paces to avoid identally being hit.


    "Hey, isn’t this Lin Zhao? What, out of prison now?"


    The man scanned the crowd, then fixed his gaze on Lin Zhao.


    After forming an alliance with Chu Ge, Lin Zhao had stayed to help at his gambling stone establishment. They had gone out for a meal, leaving only a few of them watching the ce, not expecting someone to actuallye looking for trouble.


    This visitor, Lin Zhao recognized, named Zhao Peng, was ackey under Qian Youquan.


    Depending on his niece, who was a mistress of Qian Youquan, Zhao Peng acted arrogantly everywhere, with Qian Youquan simply turning a blind eye.


    "Zhao Peng, what are you doing here?" In his memory, Zhao Peng and Chu Ge didn’t seem to have any feuds.


    Zhao Peng stepped on a stool and spit out, humming, "Heard a new gambling stone establishment opened up here, just came to have a look, this gambling stone setup isn’t small at all."


    Lin Zhao scoffed coldly,e to have a look? More likely here to cause trouble.


    "Mr. Qian’s gambling stone establishment is in the new district, and this is the old district, they don’t conflict at all, why would you bothering here to smash the ce?"


    Lin Zhao directly confronted Zhao Peng’s intentions.


    Hearing this, Zhao Peng’s face twisted malevolently, and he hummed disdainfully, "Since you know my purpose already, then cut the crap and quickly call the person in charge here out!"


    Zhao Peng shouted loudly, his gaze sweeping menacingly around, causing some bystanders who were watching the scene to quickly flee once they realized they were there to wreck the ce.


    Someone at the entrance happened to bump into Chu Ge, and they grabbed him saying, "Boss Chu, you’ve arrived just in time, there are people here to wreck your establishment."


    "That person is a well-known thug, you must be very careful."


    After saying this, these people quickly ran off. Chu Ge, with his hands in his pockets, strode towards the basement level of the Gambling Stone Field.


    As soon as he walked down the stairs, he heard the sound of things smashing inside.


    Chu Ge frowned, it was the first day of opening, and things were truly not going smoothly.


    The scene in the basement was chaotic, customers seeing the fights broke out, afraid to be involved, fled in all directions.


    Chu Ge also struggled to reach the basement level, looking at the mess on the ground, his expression became displeased as he watched those people, "What is this you are doing?"


    Lin Zhao, who was beside him beaten to a bruised and swollen face, saw Chu Ge arrive and endured the pain toe forward, saying to him, "Mr. Chu, I’m d you’re back, these people are here to wreck the ce."


    Lin Zhao’s earlier debacle that morning was just to vent personal grievances while avenging his father.


    But this group was different, "Mr. Chu, you need to be careful, this Zhao Peng is very vicious."


    Chu Ge scoffed contemptuously, he had seen vicious people before, it was just an ordinary thug, nothing to be afraid of.


    "Who are you anyway?" Zhao Peng asked with a probing tone, he looked at Chu Ge suspiciously, seeing his appearance, he didn’t seem like the owner of this gambling stone establishment, rather he looked like a worker here.


    No help for it, today though Chu Ge was dressed rtively more formally than usual, to these people who had seen big bosses, Chu Ge’s attire still didn’t seem like that of a boss.


    "Youing here is pointless, call the person in charge here out."


    Chu Ge red at him coldly, snorting lightly, "I am the person in charge here, if there’s anything you want to say, say it directly."


    Zhao Peng was taken aback, then he let out a small chuckle, "I thought the owner of this gambling stone field was a capable man, turns out it’s just a nobody. It seems the rumors are true, clinging to Miss Man Sha is akin to clinging to a huge fortune. But I don’t see what she sees in you, you’re not even handsome. Hey, everyone, look, if I went to find Miss Man Sha, wouldn’t she also take me as her male pet?"


    Amidst his speech, the crowd burst intoughter.


    Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, "Whose faction do you belong to?"


    Since it was a wrecking, it surely was for businesspetition; this notion, especially simr to ces like gambling stone fields, the acts of wrecking was toomon.


    "Whose faction do we belong to? Haha, if I tell you, it would scare you to death!" The man said arrogantly, chin lifted high, "One of the three big leaders of the Capital City underground, Qian Youquan, ever heard of him?"


    Chu Ge was startled, Qian Youquan? This name was somewhat familiar.


    Chu Ge thought about it and suddenly remembered, he had previously treated a person’s legs, that person was also named Qian Youquan, it was just unknown if these two individuals were the same.


    "Qian Youquan, I actually know a Qian Youquan too," Chu Ge replied truthfully.


    Zhao Pengughed out loud upon hearing this, looking at Chu Ge with utter disdain, "The Qian Youquan you know must also be some nobody, our boss is one of the three big leaders of the Capital City underground, a regr person wouldn’t even get a chance to meet him, stop blowing your horn here!


    Back to the main point, wanting topete in business with our boss, you’re asking for trouble, right?"


    Chu Ge looked up, his gaze cold and deep, "Everyone can do business, how does that equate topeting?"
