My Wild Wife in Shanghai

"this... ..."

Chen Ye scratched his head awkwardly.

He knew Bai Xueyan was just saying that in anger, so he said, "Sister Bai, I'd better leave!"

Then, she went back to the bathroom to put on her still slightly damp clothes, and turned to leave.

"Chen Ye, you'll catch a cold if you go out like this!" Bai Xueyan said worriedly. "Take off your clothes, I'll help you dry them."

"It's alright, Sister Bai, I'm perfectly healthy!" Chen Ye said. "I won't catch a cold, don't worry."

Seeing the tender interaction between the two, Xie Dong was so angry that he almost fell over.

"You guys are shameless!" Xie Dong yelled. "Chen Ye, you just wait, if I don't kill you, I'll change my surname to yours!"

He angrily slammed the door and left.

Seeing this, Bai Xueyan sighed deeply, sat down at the table, and put one hand on her forehead, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

She is adept at navigating the business arena.

But he just couldn't understand his own son.

"Sister Bai, don't be too sad. I believe Xie Dong was just confused for a moment," Chen Ye said.

"Don't take his side, he's just being unreasonable!" Bai Xueyan said. "I'm very sorry about tonight, I'm sorry you had to go through all that."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "It's alright, Sister Bai. You've had quite a bit to drink tonight, so get some rest. I'll be going now."

The atmosphere was awkward, and he couldn't stay any longer.

After offering Bai Xueyan a few words of comfort, Chen Ye left.

Meanwhile, Xie Dong was sitting in his car by the roadside, constantly making phone calls to various friends.

"Hey, Brother Leng, I need to get someone, any way? What? You've retired from crime? Okay, sorry to bother you!"

"Brother Tian, ​​do you remember me? Yes, Xie Dong... I want you to help me get someone... What? Your underling is in the police station now? Okay!"

"Hey, Boss Hei, I want to get someone..."

After making a round of calls, no one dared to take the job.

Furious, Xie Dong threw the phone onto the passenger seat and lit a cigarette in frustration.

Although his father, Xie Hongye, told him never to touch Chen Ye again.

He knew the weight of someone even Wei Qingluan couldn't handle.

Xie Dong agreed at the time that they would not target Chen Ye for the time being, and would make further plans after Xie Hongye was released from prison.

But tonight he was furious and completely forgot his father's instructions, only thinking about killing Chen Ye.

"Ding ding!"

Just then, the phone rang. The caller's name was Hou Liang.

Xie Dong answered the phone: "Hey, Monkey, what's up so late?"

"Dongzi, I'm a little short on cash lately, do you think you could... ..."

"No!" Xie Dong refused outright.

"Dongzi, you're a rich second-generation, and this isn't very fair to us given our friendship!" Hou Liang said, dissatisfied.

Hou Liang was Xie Dong's high school classmate; they were deskmates and had a very good relationship.

Hou Liang didn't get into a good university. After graduating from high school, he went to a technical school and then drifted into society.

Hou Liang frequented various nightclubs in Shanghai and engaged in all sorts of shady businesses. Xie Dong heard that he was also addicted to drugs.

He had borrowed money from Xie Dong twice before and had not paid it back, so Xie Dong naturally wouldn't lend him money again.

"It's not that I'm being unfair, you still haven't paid me back the tens of thousands you owe me!" Xie Dong said. "Besides, I've had a falling out with my family, and I'm broke right now. In fact, I owe millions in high-interest loans!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Liang laughed: "Hahaha, how did a rich second-generation like you end up like this?"

"Sigh, it's a long story!" Xie Dong said.

Hou Liang said, "Since you're short of money right now, I'll give you a good way—a good way to make money!"

"How do you make money?" Xie Dong asked.

"Come to my place, we'll talk when we meet, and I'll send you the address!" Hou Liang said.

An hour later, the two met at a boxing club.

Hou Liang led Xie Dong to the club's basement, pointed to the empty octagonal iron cage in the center of the spacious area, and asked, "Dongzi, do you know what this is for?"

"Boxing, UFC, I even went to watch a live fight when I was studying abroad," Xie Dong said. "Li Jingliang, Zhang Weili, and that... that Song Yadong..."

"No, this is completely different from them!" Hou Liang took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "This is an underground boxing ring, commonly known as black market boxing, it doesn't see the light of day! The fighters sign waivers before the fight, and people often get beaten to death, it's very exciting and bloody!"

"Holy crap?" Xie Dong exclaimed in surprise, "There are competitions like this in Shanghai?"

"Hey, you just haven't seen it, so you don't know. These are all secret organizations run by influential figures in society." Hou Liang's eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Xie Dong and asked, "Do you know why I asked you for money?"

"I don't know!" Xie Dong shook his head.

"I'm now a confidant of the club owner and know some of the inside stories of underground boxing. To please a bigwig in the underworld, they're going to hold a high-level underground boxing match. I heard the fighters are all ruthless, one of them just got out of prison, notorious for his brutality and ruthlessness..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xie Dong said, "Get to the point!"

"Ahem!" Hou Liang said, "I know the fighters' skills and inside information, so I'm planning to find someone to cooperate with in betting on the upcoming underground boxing matches. I asked you for money because I want to make money through this!"

Hou Liang patted Xie Dong on the shoulder as he spoke: "I need a partner because I'm an insider and can't place bets myself, so want to play together?"

Looking at the dark iron cage, Xie Dong could almost smell the stench of blood emanating from within, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

"I don't understand any of this either!"

"It's okay if you don't understand, I do!" Hou Liang said. "For the past six months, I've been hanging around various underground boxing rings. As long as you can put up the stakes, I guarantee you'll make a fortune!"

"Then why haven't you made any money yet? Why are you asking me for a loan?" Xie Dong directly hit Hou Liang where it hurt.

"It's because I don't have any capital!" Hou Liang explained, "I only gambled a little each time, and I actually made quite a bit of money. But as you know, besides gambling, I also like to seduce some 'celestial powder,' and all the money I earned went into it."

Xie Dong frowned and asked, "Can it really make money?"

"You'll definitely make money!" Hou Liang said. "I've gambled many times and never lost, that's why I invited you to cooperate. As long as you have enough capital, you can easily earn hundreds of thousands in one match. There will be many matches in one night, making you rich is a sure thing!"

Xie Dong said with a distressed look, "Sigh, it's a pity that I had a fight with my mother and she won't give me money anymore."

"A mother and son shouldn't hold grudges overnight. Just go back and apologize, and everything will be fine!"

"It's not that simple!" Xie Dong said, "My mom is infatuated with a pretty boy."

Then, Xie Dong briefly recounted Chen Ye's situation, gritting his teeth as he said, "I owe millions in high-interest loans, all because of that Chen Ye. I wish I could tear him to pieces!"

Hou Liang's small eyes gleamed with cunning as he said, "Dongzi, I have an idea—a legal way to get rid of him!"

"Oh?" Xie Dong's eyes lit up. "What idea?"

Hou Liang smiled and narrowed his eyes: "First, get five million in cash as a wager, then I'll tell you how."

"Five million? That's going to be tough!" Xie Dong said.

"Sigh!" Hou Liang shook his head: "Then forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything tonight. Don't mention anything about underground boxing when you go out, or if my boss finds out, we'll both be in trouble."

Xie Dong narrowed his eyes, feeling a strong urge to get his hands on it, and said, "Alright, I promise you, I'll find a way to get five million. Now tell me, how do you plan to deal with Chen Ye?"

Hou Liang raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure you can get the money?"

"Yes!" Xie Dong gritted his teeth. "Tell me your idea!"
