Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Now, Lu Chengwu has taken away more than 10,000 silver dollars. Young Master Yuan's expenses will have to be covered by him.

Having just gotten over ten thousand silver dollars from Shen Hao, making him spit it out would be worse than killing Cao Yuanzheng.

Moreover, this young master Yuan's expenses are not small, at least 3000 silver dollars a month. Who the hell can afford to support him?

Shen Hao couldn't understand why Lu Chengwu would betray him.

Seeing Cao Yuanzheng's exasperated state, Shen Hao wasn't too worried.

Everyone has a weakness, and Cao Yuanzheng's greed for money makes him easy to exploit.

Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems.

There is no affection between adults, only interests.

Shen Hao guessed that Cao Yuanzheng was angry not because he cared about Liu Si's life or death, but because of the interests of Liu Si's gambling den.

Thinking of this, Shen Hao said, "Director Cao, I didn't know that the person behind Liu Si was you."

This Liu Si caused me to sell my ancestral home before, how can I swallow this insult?

"But don't worry, Director Cao, I'll make up for your losses."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuanzheng's mood immediately improved.

"Xiao Shen, you're young and impulsive. In the future, you need to be more mindful of the consequences of your actions and avoid acting recklessly, or you'll easily stumble."

Then, Cao Yuanzheng changed the subject, saying, "Liu Si was robbed of 10,000 silver dollars, and I suffered a 50% loss. Xiao Shen, do you have that much money?"

Five thousand dollars is nothing.

Shen Hao said casually, "I'll make up for the loss, but there are two conditions."

Cao Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me what you think."

"First, I will manage all of Liu Si's businesses from now on, and you will receive your share in full, plus an additional 10%."

In other words, you will be able to get 60% of the business in the future.

My second condition is that I want to know why Lu Chengwu would betray me; it clearly doesn't make sense.

Cao Yuanzheng pondered for a moment, then snorted and said, "Although 50% of the profits are mine, most of the money is used to cover Young Master Yuan's daily expenses."

Lu Chengwu robbed Liu Si's restaurant, and Young Master Yuan immediately called to question him.

At first, Lu Chengwu didn't betray you, but after finding out that you had a grudge against Liu Si, he felt he had been used and directly implicated you.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Hao had previously shown him considerable favor, they would have already sent people to arrest Shen Hao.

However, he was also glad that Shen Hao hadn't been arrested, otherwise who would have compensated for this loss?

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao nodded.

The so-called daily expenses of this young master Yuan were nothing more than visiting brothels, keeping concubines, and smoking opium.

No wonder Liu Si was so fearless.

This time, although he killed Liu Si, he also incurred the wrath of Lu Chengwu.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The relationship with Cao Yuanzheng has taken a step further, and he has also gotten on the good side of Yuan Da Gongzi and taken over Liu Si's property.

Although Liu Si's business was wiped out, he only lost silver dollars and gold. But his houses and shops were still there.

All of this money adds up to about 20,000 to 30,000 silver dollars, and now it all belongs to Shen Hao.

All things considered, it's not actually a huge loss.

After understanding what had happened, Shen Hao said, "Director Cao, I'll send over 5000 silver dollars in a little while as an apology."

Cao Yuanzheng laughed heartily, the gloom on his face vanishing completely.

He stood up, patted Shen Hao on the shoulder affectionately, and said, "Little Shen, I knew you wouldn't let me down."

Just as he finished speaking, a policewoman rushed in, unsure whether to say what she was about to say.

Cao Yuanzheng said, "These are our own people, so speak freely."

The policewoman glanced at Shen Hao and said, "Chief Cao, news has come from the Chengnan branch that Liu Si has been shot and killed."

Cao Yuanzheng frowned and glanced at Shen Hao.

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "Director Cao received your order, and I rushed over immediately."

There was no time to kill him. Besides, even if I wanted to kill Liu Si, I wouldn't do it in front of the police station.

Cao Yuanzheng thought about it and agreed. He guessed that it was probably Lu Chengwu. Only Lu Chengwu could be so ruthless.

The reason he killed Liu Si must have been because he had offended Young Master Yuan, and he was venting his anger.

Having thought of this, Cao Yuanzheng no longer doubted Shen Hao.

Liu Si is dead, but his business is still in my hands.

Previously it was 50% of the profits, now it's 60%. That 10% is a thousand silver dollars a month, that's money from my own father.

As for Liu Si's death, so be it.

Although Liu Si was his concubine's older brother, a concubine was nothing compared to money.

Moreover, Cao Yuanzheng was getting a little tired of his new concubine and was preparing to take a new one.

If Shen Hao, this god of wealth, is no longer here, then we'll suffer a huge loss.

Thinking of this, Cao Yuanzheng pretended to be serious and said, "Xiao Shen, Liu Si was killed at the entrance of your Chengnan branch. You bear a lot of responsibility."

"We must investigate thoroughly when we get back. Also, although Liu Si is dead, the business can't stop."

42. You made this mess, so you have to clean it up yourself.

The meaning is clear: hurry back and open for business.

Shen Hao said, "It's the bureau chief."

Back at the South Branch, everyone perked up when they saw Shen Hao return unharmed.

"Director"

"Director"

They had previously guessed that Shen Hao would definitely have to take off his police uniform this time, but unexpectedly, Shen Hao returned unharmed.

It must be said that their methods were quite clever.

Upon returning, Shen Hao had Liu Si's men arrested.

Upon seeing Shen Hao, the man turned deathly pale.

He was the one who set up the trap to lure Shen Hao into a trap, causing him to lose everything.

Liu Mazi specializes in the flesh trade.

The middleman was notoriously unscrupulous.

Seeing Shen Hao, whom he had once bankrupted, now a bureau chief, Liu Mazi felt a sense of fear.

He couldn't help but be afraid.

He and Liu Si are cousins.

Liu Si's body is still warm to the touch.

Liu Mazi was so frightened that his hands and feet turned ice cold, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Even his cousin with a powerful background was killed by Shen Hao. Killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

"How have you been, Liu Mazi?" Shen Hao said with a slight smile.

Liu Mazi hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, saying, "It was my fault for being blind and offending Director Shen. Please, spare my life. I'll even be your dog."

Shen Hao's smile faded as he said, "Letting you go isn't impossible, but you have to show me your worth first."

Liu Mazi hurriedly pledged his loyalty, saying, "Director Shen, just give the order, I'll go through fire and water for you."

Shen Hao said, "Very good, I like smart people. Now go and seize all of Liu Si's businesses. We need to find someone we know well. I want all of his real estate companies and businesses, understand? Not a single one can be left out."

If I find out from anyone else that you're not being honest, then I'll make sure you and Liu Si are reunited in the underworld, understand?

"Yes, Director Shen, I will certainly not let you down."

Shen Hao nodded and said, "Alright, then lead the way."

After two days of ransacking, all of Liu Si's properties were transferred to Shen Hao's name.

Sure enough, with Liu Mazi around, Liu Si didn't lose any of his businesses.

A rickshaw dealership in the south of the city also operates a used rickshaw business.

There are 100 new cars and 120 used cars.

A new car costs 100 silver dollars, and an old car costs 60 or 80 silver dollars. These assets alone amount to nearly 20,000 silver dollars.

In addition, there was a gambling den with thousands of loan shark IOUs worth 4 silver dollars, and of course, only the money that was returned would count.

A restaurant.

Three large opium dens.
