My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 525: Taking Down Sofia

After Zhang Lei left, the casino owner, Sergio, looked at Sofia, raised his hand and slapped her to the ground, yelling, "What kind of work are you doing? Why did you deal him such a high card?"

Sophia covered her face and cried pitifully, "Boss, I really didn't mean to treat him like a diva. I don't know why this happened."

Sergio, upon hearing this, flew into a rage, shouting, "That bastard Zhang Lei dared to cheat in my casino!"

Sofia, standing nearby, was taken aback by what she heard. Looking at the furious Sergio, she thought to herself, "You were the one who set up the trap to harm him first, and now you're blaming others." But she dared not say these words aloud.

Sergio seemed to read Sofia's mind through her eyes and immediately roared, "I'm the casino owner, it's perfectly normal for me to use a few tricks! Otherwise, what's the point of keeping a bunch of useless people like you around?"

Sofia didn't dare to argue, she just stood there watching Sergio vent his anger alone.

Not long after, a burly man strode over and reported, "Boss, our men have caught up with him. That Zhang Lei is definitely not going to get away."

Sergio stared at his men and said coldly, "Not only can we not let him get away, but we've also heard he has a wife and daughter. We'll reunite them as a family."

The subordinate looked at Sergio, nodded silently, and turned to leave without saying a word.

Sofia was already numb; she had seen far too many of these ruthless tactics in this casino.

Just then, a grenade was suddenly thrown onto the gambling table. Upon seeing this, everyone instinctively dropped to the ground.

With a loud bang, the grenade exploded. Two of Sergio's men, caught off guard, were killed instantly.

Sergio, seeing the grenade suddenly appear, roared furiously, "Investigate! Find out who did this!"

But inside the casino, chaos reigned, with explosions, gunshots, shouts, and cries for help all mingling together.

Sergio stood on the second floor, looking down at the chaotic scene below, and roared in fury: "Find them all and kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sergio's men all rushed out.

Sofia looked at Sergio and said softly, "Boss, should we leave first? It's too dangerous here."

Sergio waved his hand impatiently: "What's the big deal about this little thing?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Sofia suddenly drew a dagger from her waist and stabbed Sergio in the lower back.

Sergio looked at Sofia in disbelief and shouted angrily, "You bitch! I treated you well, and you dare to kill me!"

Sofia looked at him and laughed maniacally: "Treat me well? You killed my sister, and you dare say you treat me well?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Sergio pulled the dagger from his back and said viciously, "You think you can hurt me?"

Before he could finish speaking, he realized something was wrong with his body. Looking at the poisoned dagger in his hand, he roared, "How dare you poison me!"

Sofia looked at him coldly: "Do you know how long I've waited for this opportunity? Seven years, a full seven years. I've served you like a dog, working my ass off for your casino."

As she spoke, she let out a laugh that was almost maniacal.

Sergio, standing nearby, felt dizzy and his body gradually lost strength. He eventually collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

At that moment, a special forces soldier stepped out from behind Sofia and said to her, "Come on, our boss wants to see you."

Sofia did not resist and obediently followed the special forces soldiers forward.

By this time, the casino was completely under control, all of Sergio's men had been killed, and the entire casino had been sealed off.

Soon, Sofia was taken to a presidential suite.

In the living room, Zhang Lei was leisurely sipping red wine. After taking a sip, he couldn't help but complain, "What does this red wine taste like? It's so sour."

Sofia frowned upon seeing this. She recognized the label on the bottle; it was a top-quality red wine worth $30,000 a bottle, yet Zhang Lei had so casually tossed it aside and even expressed his disdain.

When Zhang Lei saw Sophia enter, he smiled and said, "Ms. Sophia, congratulations on your successful revenge."

Sofia looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "You investigated me?"

At this moment, Zhang Wei stepped forward from the side: "It's not my boss investigating you, it's me."

Sophia looked at Zhang Wei, her brows furrowing even more. She had heard of Zhang Wei before; he was a lawyer in his early years, and without exception, every case he handled resulted in a life sentence, regardless of whether the defendant was innocent or not. He was known as the Dark Grim Reaper of the legal profession, and had only disappeared from the public eye in recent years.

Upon seeing Zhang Wei, Sophia instinctively took a step back.

Seeing Zhang Wei's appearance, Zhang Lei said, "Alright, don't scare the guests."

Zhang Wei scoffed, "Boss, you don't understand. This kind of thing requires skill."

Zhang Lei glanced at him speechlessly: "You're a robot, and you're talking to me about techniques?"

A short while later, Sophia sat down in the chair opposite Zhang Lei and asked bluntly, "What do you need me to do for you?"

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "I need to find an agent for this casino, and I'll give you 10% of the profits."

Sofia shook her head: "Impossible. Even Sergio only holds a maximum of thirty percent of the shares."

Zhang Lei smiled faintly: "Nothing is impossible." He pointed to Zhang Wei beside him.

Zhang Wei smiled at Sophia: "Before you arrived, the remaining 70% of the shares had already been transferred to my boss."

Sophia's expression changed upon hearing this, and she asked, "What do I need to give in return?"

Zhang Lei shook his head: "All you need to do is help me make money."

Sofia shook her head again: "This kind of relationship is unreliable."

After saying that, she stood up and casually threw her coat on the ground.

Seeing this, and glancing at Zhang Lei's expression, the others in the room wisely left the room.

Sofia looked at Zhang Lei: "I need your wholehearted protection."

Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "Since you took the initiative, I'll give you an extra five percent of the shares. That's enough for you to live a life of comfort and ease, and you can also leverage some of the power I hold."

Sofia was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Over the next three days, thanks to Zhang Wei's resources and Sophia's own skill, the Bellagio Casino was quickly brought under Zhang Lei's control. Zhang Lei also transferred a group of top talents from the system space to Sophia to manage.

Sofia was not surprised by this; if she were in her shoes, she wouldn't feel comfortable handing over a casino entirely to outsiders.

In the days that followed, Sophia tried her best to keep Zhang Lei, but she was always powerless to do so, and could only scold him as a beast.

Zhang Lei entrusted all affairs in Las Vegas to Zhang Wei. Soon after, Zhang Lei and his group embarked on their journey back to Australia.

Upon learning that Zhang Lei was coming back, his women all wanted to rush to the airport to pick him up, but they understood that Zhang Lei needed to keep a low profile, so they all waited quietly at home.

Soon, Zhang Lei returned home with Ye Shuqin and his daughter. Seeing the expectant looks on his wife and children's faces, he waved and distributed the gifts he had brought.

Ye Shuhua looked at Zhang Lei and couldn't help but tease him, "Honey, you're so biased. You only know how to dote on your sister."

Zhang Lei looked at her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll take you out with me next time."

Ye Shuhua immediately said, "Then it's a deal, no backing out."

After that, Zhang Lei began a six-month recuperation period, spending time with each of his wives, showering them with love and care.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
