Several casinos have been forced to shut down, losing hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few days.
"Director, should we deal with this problem now?"
Ah Long was already hesitant. If the casino couldn't stay open, it seemed pointless for them to continue acting as informants here.
Having already heard that Ao Ming was not by Chen Xi Jiu's side, A Long wanted to come and protect Chen Xi Jiu.
Like Ao Ming, he was a Zhongji Death Squad.
"Let's wait and see how things develop. I'll go to the casino tomorrow to check things out."
After saying 877, Chen Xijiu hung up the phone before Ah Long could ask any more questions.
Sitting in the study, Chen Xijiu frowned deeply.
He specially opened a bottle for himself and sat on the sofa, slowly considering his current situation in Hong Kong and how to resolve it.
Chen Xijiu thinks that Brother Le is becoming increasingly foolish. If he doesn't handle this matter well, he will definitely suffer a lot of consequences later.
Now that such a thing has happened, there is absolutely no way he could stand idly by.
He needs to go and check on the situation at the casino.
Thinking of all this, Chen Xijiu immediately called Brother Le to inquire about the recent situation at the casino.

The call was answered quickly, and Brother Le waited for Chen Xijiu's message as if he was afraid that Chen Xijiu would regret it.
"Ah Jiu, you're finally back. How's the situation at the casino now?"
Brother Lok still maintained his arrogant demeanor; he now knew that Chan Sai-gau's power in Hong Kong had long surpassed his own.
He absolutely couldn't lose face, but Chen Xijiu didn't seem to care much about the matter.
Chen Xijiu lay leisurely on the sofa, listening to the voices from across the room, and frowned slightly.
"Brother Le, you need to think this through carefully now, if things at the casino are resolved properly."
"We definitely need to smooth things over with the Governor as soon as possible. I can help you arrange these things, but you also need to show your appreciation, Brother Lok."
Chen Xijiu's words instantly darkened Brother Le's face.
He felt a little helpless even over the phone.
Chen Xijiu is now making outrageous demands, and the things they usually discuss seem to have completely fallen apart at this point.
Brother Le has clearly sensed that Chen Xijiu is now wanting more and more.
In order to stabilize the situation, Brother Le had no choice but to start thinking.
“Ah Jiu, I knew you had the ability. Right now, our relationship with the port city depends entirely on you and Elena.”
"Since you've already said that, why don't you settle things with those casinos, then you can manage them and keep all the profits?"
Although Brother Le spoke casually, he was still a little heartbroken inside.
He has very strict control over all his businesses, their arrangements over the years, and all the profits generated.
Even his henchman, Piggy, would be reprimanded by Brother Lok if he tried to get more profit from him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xijiu has already begun to change into this state in just half a year.
Brother Le was already very worried. He valued Chen Xijiu highly, but he was worried that things would become more complicated.
He needs to think this over carefully; he doesn't want to waste time on it.
Chen Xijiu gripped the phone tightly, genuinely surprised that Brother Le would actually give him control of these casinos.
He accepted it without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Brother Le's face instantly turned gloomy.
He slammed his phone onto the sofa, startling the beautiful woman next to him who immediately stood up.
They were afraid that Brother Le might kill them if he got anxious.
"Ah Jiu is getting more and more outrageous. He actually wants to take a share of the casino business. I never thought he had such ambitions."
"It seems that our promotion and high regard for him have now become a sharp sword, relentlessly stabbing at us."
Piggy, standing to the side, frowned slightly upon hearing Le Ge's words.
It's too late to say anything now; the gambling scandal has already become the talk of the town in Hong Kong.
If their casino can't protect me (Qian Zhao Zhao), then we can follow the trail and implicate all their other businesses.
The situation for both him and Brother Le will inevitably become increasingly difficult.
"Brother Le, how about we find someone to give Ah Jiu a warning? If he keeps going like this, he might swallow up all our businesses."
"Where are we going to make money? So many people under us are waiting to make money."
Piggy's words gave Brother Le a wake-up call. He frowned slightly, but quickly made up his mind.

Upon hearing what Piggy said, Brother Lok shook his head, his eyes filled with a hint of wariness.
Chen Xijiu's power is gradually growing stronger.
Moreover, his relationship with Elena has long since exceeded their expectations.
If any deviation occurs in this matter, Chen Xijiu, the one who was being used, will likely lose everything.
Such a price was simply too much for him to bear.
"Now is not the time. No matter how powerful Chen Xijiu is, I will never allow him to surpass me."
As Le Ge spoke, he looked at Zhu Youzai. The murderous intent in his eyes made Zhu Youzai instantly feel a little worried.
He was so frightened that he quickly got up and treated Brother Le with utmost respect.
"Although Elena and the Hong Kong independence activists are protecting Chan Sai-kau, it is not something Chan Sai-kau can do alone if he wants to establish himself on Hong Kong Island."
Suddenly, Brother Le seemed to remember something. He turned and glanced at the two beautiful women beside him, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
"He's just relying on women, and we have plenty of women out there."
Piggy and Brother Le exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
In their eyes, Chen Xijiu was nothing more than a tool to be used.
Otherwise, as the situation in Hong Kong Island worsens, their predicament will become even more difficult once the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is activated. 7
If they are indeed under investigation, they can remove Chen Xijiu from the list and clear themselves of suspicion.
Little did they know, Chen Xijiu had already seen through their thoughts.
Chen Xijiu would absolutely not allow them to get their way. 5
The next morning, Chen Xijiu bid farewell to Guoguo and went straight to the casino.
Most of the casinos in Shau Kei Wan are actually in the hands of Lok Gor.
The businesses held by the other four major families are indeed not to be underestimated, and casinos have long been a major avenue for them to amass wealth.
Whoever controls the casino has the final say.
As soon as Chen Xijiu arrived at the casino, he saw a dispute taking place not far from the entrance.
A man dressed in black was kicked out of the casino.
He couldn't wait to point the gun in his hand at the thugs in front of him at the casino.
"This isn't the first or second time that casinos have cheated, and now they actually want to extort money from me. It's ridiculous. Don't they know who I am?"
The casino's two thugs didn't even have time to react.
Perhaps they didn't even take the people in front of them seriously; they were only concerned with maintaining order in the casino.
Now that someone is causing trouble, it's no surprise.
Brother Le had already given them instructions: no matter what happens in the casino, they must ensure that no one causes trouble.
Even if the police came, they wouldn't dare to make a move, but today this man seemed to disregard them.
"Stop spreading rumors. You've already lost millions, yet you can't even come up with the money. We're already being merciful by not pressing you for repayment."
"I didn't expect you to actually try to use your position as a police officer to put pressure on us."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
They had never seen such an arrogant person in all their time in the casino.
Since it was offered to them, they didn't hold back at all.
"If you really dare, then shoot right now and let us see if you're a real cop or an imposter."
The man never expected that these thugs would be so powerful, not even taking the police seriously.
"Bang bang bang!"
The trigger was pulled suddenly.
