With Fatty's matter settled, Qin Fang didn't feel like sticking around any longer, but he was indeed quite interested in Yu Zheng, the former Asian Gambling King.
Especially since he happened to have a way to fix Yu Zheng's problem, he immediately started plotting. With just a few words, he managed to hoodwink the old fox who had lived for decades.
The two immediately switched their conversation venue from Fatty's place to Qin Fang's room...
Sitting face to face like this, Wen Yan poured tea for both Qin Fang and Yu Zheng before leaving. As for the young man who was pushing Yu Zheng's wheelchair, he wasn't even qualified to enter.
"Speak, what are your conditions?"
In the room then left only Qin Fang and Yu Zheng. After this brief rest, Yu Zheng's mentality also became much calmer.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
He understood his own injuries better than anyone. Had there been a way, he would not still look this way by now but would have sought treatment long ago.
Although he didn't quite understand how Qin Fang could possibly heal his injuries, it was obviously not a simple task, so naturally the condition put forward would also not be simple.
"Actually, it's quite simple. I just want you to work for me after I cure you..."
Qin Fang was not surprised. Yu Zheng had been emotionally agitated just now, appearing somewhat disoriented. Now that he had calmed down, he naturally turned back into the old fox he was before.
However, Qin Fang didn't mind. Although this was just a transaction, it still had to be based on equality, so that Yu Zheng would not harbor any grievances after being cured.
Otherwise, Qin Fang would not be bringing in a helper, but rather adding a huge trouble for himself, which is not what he wanted to do.
"Work for you?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zheng's expression immediately soured, or rather, it became quite ugly.
Qin Fang had been keeping an eye on Yu Zheng and saw his reaction, furrowing his eyebrows slightly, as it seemed the situation might be a bit tricky.
Perhaps the condition he proposed touched upon some of Yu Zheng's taboos, hence the significant facial reaction.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Fang immediately added.
"Of course, if you have any personal matters to take care of, just let me know, I generally wouldn't refuse... After all, the work I have for you isn't much, it's quite simple to complete!"
With that said, Qin Fang's condition seemed much more relaxed, and Yu Zheng's face also eased somewhat, although it hadn't completely faded, it was still better than before.
"First, tell me what you need me to do for you..."
However, Yu Zheng was clearly not very reassured and asked more carefully.
Obviously, something had happened in his past that made him develop a lot of taboos. Qin Fang faintly felt that this might be related to Yu Zheng's abrupt fall from prominence, when he was attacked and had his limbs severed, forcing him out of the Martial World.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Yu Zheng had been duped once before and clearly did not wish to be duped again. That's why he was being extremely cautious. If things were not right, he would rather live quietly as he currently was, instead of exposing himself and ending up dead in the street...
He was lucky to survive last time, but there might not be such good fortune next time.
"I won't hide it from you, the thing is... I have an enemy who owns a very large entertainment venue, including a casino. I just need you to win money from him... Of course, the more you can win, the better, preferably taking over the entire casino! And of course, you can rest assured about safety, I will send people to protect you, guaranteed to keep you safe!"
Qin Fang really didn't hold back and simply explained the plan to Yu Zheng. As for who the enemy was, it went without saying—it was Li Rui, the overlord of the Ninghai Underground.
In fact, Qin Fang had already thought out this plan a long time ago. After dealing with Li Feng, he had planned to disguise himself with an unfamiliar face and personally take care of it.
However, the trip to Yanggui Province made Qin Fang have to pause this plan.
Of course, after returning to Ninghai, Qin Fang still intended to continue with the plan. However, when he saw Yu Zheng, he then had a better candidate in mind.
Li Rui would definitely be on guard against Qin Fang, as Qin Fang had once made a big move at the Bihai Pavilion. If another powerful gambling master were to appear, Li Rui's first thought would definitely be that Qin Fang was playing tricks.
But if Yu Zheng made the move, while Qin Fang simultaneously showed up somewhere else, it would exclude the possibility of Qin Fang making a move.
Li Rui is now in cahoots with Shen Wuben to deal with Qin Fang. Therefore, Qin Fang can't be too polite with them. First, he'll give Li Rui a blow by taking the wind out of his sails, so that he'll be too busy to deal with anything else.
As for the remaining Shen Wuben—
"Hmph, if you don't know what's good for you, kid, I won't show you any courtesy!"
Shen Wuben is not a kind man, something Qin Fang has already come to understand. He's been in touch with Sun Shu from Yangcheng and vaguely knows that Zhao Si's death is significantly related to Shen Wuben. Even though the police won't pursue Shen Wuben, it indirectly proves that this person is not easy to deal with.
Monk Wukong is willing to protect Qin Fang's safety, but always being protected is clearly not Qin Fang's style. When necessary, he needs to decisively deal with his opponents. Only by doing so can he nip the crisis in the bud.
This matter must be approached slowly. First, let Li Rui feel the pinch and distract his attention. Only then can Qin Fang defeat each enemy one by one.
Given this, a gambling expert with exceptional skills is needed to execute this plan. However, among Qin Fang's subordinates, no one apart from himself is qualified for the task.
And just at this moment, Yu Zheng, the former Asian Gambling King appears, and happens to be in such a sorry state. How could Qin Fang not seize this opportunity?
Yu Zheng is clearly tempted. No one would truly want to live a life like his, with a long string of numbers in his bank account that somehow robs him of even the desire to enjoy them. Wouldn't that be frustrating?
Now such a great opportunity is presented before him, and if he doesn't seize it, he'd truly miss out.
He was the former Asian Gambling King. Qin Fang values precisely his gambling skills. This is something that Yu Zheng is very clear about.
But what his gambling skills are to be used for is what Yu Zheng needs to be concerned about.
He once had a very sordid past that led to his current pathetic state and has made his life quite painful.
His gambling expertise was honed through relentless practice. Once upon a time, he relied on these skills to achieve fame and became the Asian Gambling King, enjoying unparalleled glory. But it was this very expertise that led to his downfall, causing him to be chopped up, leaving him in such a wretched state…
With such an experience, thinking back on the tragedy that took place, Yu Zheng has a deep shadow in his heart, which makes him hesitant.
However, when Qin Fang briefly explained his grudge against Li Rui, Yu Zheng, despite feeling the job was quite dangerous, realized it was nothing compared to the treatment he had received before.
"Alright, I agree!"
After thinking it over, Yu Zheng couldn't resist the temptation and gritted his teeth and nodded, "But I have a condition. When I encounter a situation I don't wish to handle, you must absolutely not force me to act…"
However, he still harbored considerable wariness in his heart. Having lived half a lifetime, he understood the minds of gamblers very well. Desires always escalate.
Perhaps Qin Fang currently only wishes for his help against Li Rui, but who knows if one day he might be asked to step out of Dragon Country and onto the world stage…
"Fine, no problem!"
Qin Fang nodded. Although he seemed to be at a loss, he didn't mind much as he had his calculations.
"So when do you plan to start the treatment? What needs to be prepared?"
Seeing Qin Fang agree so readily, Yu Zheng felt that Qin Fang seemed like a decent boss, but that wasn't his concern now. He was more eager to know when his limbs could be restored.
"We can start tonight. It will probably take all night, so you need to be prepared… As for what's needed, don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Qin Fang did not play mysterious and simply stated.
"Do you have anything else that needs instruction? I will start the treatment immediately, and you will be in a comatose state the entire time. You must not be disturbed, or it could easily lead to failure."
"Understood..."
Yu Zheng nodded, then called the young man guarding the door inside, gave him brief instructions, and sent him home.
When he came back to Qin Fang's room, he took a deep breath, filled with boundless hope, as he waited for Qin Fang's treatment.
As for the verbal agreement reached between Qin Fang and him, although there was no evidence, both parties clearly took it seriously and had no intention of reneging.
Of course, this all hinged on whether Qin Fang could fully heal Yu Zheng's injuries.
If Qin Fang couldn't do it, then Yu Zheng naturally wouldn't follow Qin Fang's orders, and the agreement would not stand.
After making simple arrangements for Yu Zheng's accommodation, Qin Fang administered an injection, and Yu Zheng only felt a slight shiver and a minor sting in part of his body. Then he felt as if his consciousness suddenly left his body and his eyelids grew heavy. Until he couldn't bear it any longer, he finally fell into a deep sleep...(To be continued.
