Chapter 2267: Chapter 2264: Taking Action

“Have a look at this.” Tang Dongfeng pulled out a book from his sleeve.

Li Can eagerly went to check, only to see it was a complete guide on gambling strategies.

However, just as he had opened up three strategies, Tang Dongfeng took the book back.

“Third Young Master, this is the secret we want to use to start our casino. You haven’t signed a contract with me yet, so I can’t show you the rest. If you become one of us, that’s a different matter; you can view it as much as you like. I, Tang Dongfeng, do business purely for profit and never suffer losses.”

Li Can was itching with curiosity, yet Tang Dongfeng spoke so bluntly that he felt embarrassed to find an excuse to see the rest.

“Why do you want to open a gambling den?” Li Can was no fool; he knew Tang Dongfeng approached him with a motive.

Tang Dongfeng’s eyes curved: “Third Young Master is indeed clever. Isn’t it the Qi family’s Qin Garden secretly mimicking our Yonghe’s Jingyuan, and they’re stirring up such a ruckus to steal business? It’s beyond unethical. So, we’ll take the Qi Family’s Gambling House’s business, as being bullied at our doorstep leaves us no choice but to retaliate.”

Li Can stared: “You all are really bold, wanting to snatch the Qi Family’s Gambling House’s business. Once we open for business, we’ll obviously be offending the Qi family.”

“Is Third Young Master afraid?” Tang Dongfeng employed some reverse psychology.

Li Can sneered: “Afraid? Why would I be afraid? The Li family is not scared of the Qi family. In business, whoever is stronger gets to call the shots.”

“Moreover, having such a good Secret Treasure at hand and doing nothing, I fear I would just keep muddling along and achieve nothing.”

“Third Young Master, such insight.” Tang Dongfeng praised him, smiling.

“Alright, you’ve brought the contract, haven’t you?” Li Can was somewhat excited.

“Got it right here.” Tang Dongfeng took out the prepared contract, detailing a three-seven split.

Yonghe contributed technical expertise and invested a few hundred taels, but wouldn’t handle subsequent management; Li Can took the larger share, including the premises.

Once Li Can checked clearly, although he felt he contributed more, since the property under his name didn’t need extra investment, he didn’t hesitate.

Once their discussion was settled.

Quickly.

Li Can started gathering people to tidy up the property.

Meanwhile.

People were dispatched to spread the news, using dice teaching as a lure, along with one of the gambling strategies.

Soon, among gamblers in the capital, this gossip spread.

When Elder Qi San learned of this news, he immediately ordered: “Go, approach the Li family, warn Third Master Li, and send people to steal what Tang Dongfeng delivered, especially the gambling strategies—steal them quietly.”

“And make sure Third Young Master Li can’t get out of bed.” Elder Qi San viciously commanded, showing no mercy.

“Yes.”

Meanwhile.

Li Can was leading his usual servants and brothers, swiftly tidying up a house in a secluded alley.

Though the location was not ideal, the house was relatively spacious, making it suitable for transforming into a casino.

It only took two hours.

They were almost done with the tidying, and even the gambling tables and other equipment had been prepared by a carpenter at Tang Dongfeng’s request.

This fact further convinced Li Can that Tang Dongfeng had long been plotting, as to why he collaborated with him, it was likely to target the Qi family and pull him in.

Although aware of being used, Li Can was completely unafraid.

After all, his Li family was among the Imperial Kins and Nobles.
