Yama Reborn

Chapter Twenty-Four [Are You Satisfied Now?]

Wu Dalei was actually only thirty years old this year, but because he looked older than his age, he seemed closer to forty. In his younger days, he was sentenced to two years for assault during a fight. He was released early after serving one and a half years for good behavior.

After his release, Wu Dalei suddenly saw the light, realizing that simply being brave and fierce wasn’t a sustainable path. During the year and a half in prison, he had met a big shot. Wu Dalei, being quite adept at currying favor, waited on him hand and foot for over a year. It seemed his ingratiating service had worked. The big shot was released from prison first and, before leaving, gave Wu Dalei an address.

Once out, Wu Dalei decisively went to latch onto this powerful connection. After a few visits, he truly succeeded.

With the support of the big shot, he gradually established his business dealing in stolen vehicles and fencing stolen goods.

Over two or three years, he made quite a name for himself. Nowadays, when he walked the streets, his prematurely aged appearance gave him the distinct air of an old hand.

But as a man of the Jianghu, with one foot in the legitimate world and one in the criminal underworld, his business of fencing stolen goods brought him an annual income of well over a hundred thousand—a considerable sum in those days.

Wu Dalei kept a substantial amount of cash at home. This was partly for regularly purchasing stolen vehicles and partly because his own record wasn’t clean. Who knew when an incident might force him to flee? So, having cash on hand was essential.

Thus, it all fell to Chen Nuo’s advantage.

At the moment, two men lay in the yard.

The two tall, thin car thieves clutched their wrists, whimpering on the ground; the teenager had broken both their wrists.

Wu Dalei had already retreated to an inner room.
