1513 Gambler 6

lack, glistening thing wriggling."Damn it! It's right here! Stuck to the scalp, moving with the hair, so we thought it was at the back of the neck all along!" Aliang angrily pulled out a bamboo tube...Actually, I don't really care about betting big or small. With Cao Shi by my side, I can have anything I want.

"Big or small"

"What do you think I think this girl seems indifferent. I doubt the outcome matters to her; it's just a ticket."

Two gamblers whispered to each other.

Cao Shi had seen countless gamblers in his thousand years, he slightly bowed to me and said: "Little Madame, there is a faint mark on the rim of this cup, I'm afraid it's a sign..."

What does that mean Are you saying that although this cup looks electrical, it's actually been tampered with and is a tool used by the house to cheat

The lid opened, three of a kind again, it was leopard.

This way of calculating, the 200,000 I bet turned into 600,000

It's really profitable!

"Grass!" The two thugs looked at the skinny monkey in surprise.

The thin-skinned monkey narrowed his eyes slightly and grinned, “...Looks like a VIP has arrived today.”

He gave the boy a gesture, and the boy turned and walked out.

The slender macaque walked up to me and smiled faintly, "Are you skilled in gambling, miss"

"I know nothing about it, I've only heard some rumors from the streets." I answered honestly.

"That girl has been winning all day..."

"Luck be on your side, the last two rounds this cup was in your own hands. As for this third round, I'll let you have a go yourself." I smirked.

"I've been here for over a decade, and I've never seen someone so lucky as you..." He spoke while probing, carefully scrutinizing my hands.

I had nothing in my hands, and I knew he couldn't see Cao Shi behind me.

"Alright, you can stop probing now. I don't want this winnings anyway. Consider it a treat for everyone who came to watch the show." I waved my hand generously.

The slender monkey immediately burst into a smile, raising his hand and clapping twice, as if signaling to someone outside.

“Wow, you’re really a formidable woman! Just wait here.” The skinny monkey picked up his phone and muttered some slang. Within two minutes, the two goons who had just gone out came back in carrying a small box.

"May I ask your surname, miss" The thin monkey smiled ingratiatingly.

"Mmm."

The slender loris wasn't bothered about which "Mù" character it was, anyway, as long as he knew how to address it with his mouth.

"Miss Mu is so generous! This way, this way." He led me outside.

A narrow underground passage, with doors leading to other rooms on either side, looked like an underground labyrinth.

To be honest with you, those of us who watch from the sidelines, our job is to guard the gate and keep an eye out. When guests arrive, we welcome them properly. And these guests are classified into different tiers… Someone like you, who doesn't bat an eyelid at hundreds of thousands, is considered a VIP…” Skinny Monkey chuckled and turned his head back.

"Well, if I don't make you tea, would you take this 600,000 away from me" I asked with a laugh.

The thin-skinned monkey flashed a sly smile: "Certainly, I'll let you take it. But whether you can leave this neighborhood is another matter..."

I rolled my eyes. I knew it all along.

The skinny monkey pushed open an iron gate, and the atmosphere behind the iron gate was completely different!

This part was dark and damp, like the basement of a slum, with a mix of earthy and stale smells.

This latter half was quiet, like a passageway to an underground cinema. There were no unpleasant smells, only the faint scent of smoke and alcohol.

The wall lamp was small and dim. I reached out and touched the wall, it was soft.

"Not just the walls, even the ceiling is padded. They really spared no expense," Da Bao whispered.

The skinny monkey laughed and explained, "Cough~ Not everyone is as generous as Miss Mu. Some people would rather die than lose money... We just want to make a profit. It's bad luck to take someone's life, so it's better to do things properly and safely."

"…… Gambling can be harmful. To say it like a legitimate business is outrageous."

The thin monkey led me into an empty room. Inside, there was a luxurious set of sofas, gambling tables, mahjong tables, and a fridge stocked with drinks.

"Please sit. Here is your twenty million in capital, I present it with both hands," the thin monkey placed a briefcase on the coffee table and sat across from me, leaning closer and whispering, "This is what I've decided to return to you... My eyes have seen countless gamblers, but I've never met someone as 'lucky' as you. Please take care of me in the future."

I chuckled and said, “This is the first time I’ve heard of a casino returning the principal. Aren’t you going out of business”

"Hehehe..." He waved his hand, and the two men stepped back, helping us close the door.

"Miss Mu, to be frank with you, I want to go into business with you." he stated straightforwardly.

"Huh" Both Dabao and I were taken aback.

“Your luck at gambling is unparalleled! To be frank, in the past three rounds, if it were any other day, you wouldn't have won a single one! But today, it's like something supernatural…” He crossed his arms, looking deeply troubled and baffled.

I pulled my neck back and looked at Cao Shi, who stood silently by my side.

This can't be a ghost, can it

“What do you want to partner with me on” I probed.

The skinny monkey's eyes gleamed as he said, "…There's a rule in our inner circle: two high-stakes gambles every month! Win and you'll be rich beyond your wildest dreams! Lose and you'll lose everything…"

"You want me to gamble" I frowned. "I'm not risking my entire fortune."

The skinny monkey patted his chest and said, "I'll put up the money, you bet! We split it 50/50 if we win, and I pay if we lose!"

"You've been here for over a decade, why don't you gamble yourself" I asked curiously.

The gibbon's brow twitched slightly: "No one from our casino can participate… not even know what the gambling is about. It’s said that someone tried to sneak in… and that person vanished, never seen alive or dead."

"Good heavens! You guys are actually committing murder here! My young lady wouldn't get involved in such dangerous affairs!"

"But if we win..." The skinny monkey raised a finger and made the number one with his mouth.

One hundred million

What kind of gambling is this crazy

But my purpose is not to gamble, nor do I want to make a profit from this. I am here to find someone.

The slender monkey seemed to see my hesitation and chuckled softly, " ... If I hadn't led the way, you wouldn't even see a few living people here. It would be difficult to get out."

"Are you threatening me" I asked, frowning.

"No, no, I dare not... Let me put it this way, I beg you, as long as you agree, anything you want to ask, I know everything." The skinny monkey smiled, "A person as distinguished as you, coming to such a place, there must be a reason."

Dabo looked at me, and I understood what he meant.

The Yan family's son doesn't have much to do with us. Although the Yan family's affairs are strange, we shouldn't risk it for this matter.

But I felt a sense of uneasiness deep down.

When I was on the roof of Yan's house, there was a strange feeling—I seemed too carefree.

It's not that I act hastily, but rather that I think lightly.

I always thought the Yan family was just an ordinary family that had encountered misfortune. I never expected that such a plain and unremarkable family would have been connected to my parents years ago.

And that spirit child who devoured animal souls flashed past...

Now it seems that the only way to get to the bottom of the Yan family's affairs is to investigate their son.

I looked up, just about to agree with the thin monkey, when he suddenly turned pale, reached out to cover my mouth, but Da Bao pushed him away quickly.

"Shh——!!" He stared nervously with a pair of big eyes.

He slowly looked back at the small door wrapped in soft leather.

I stood and listened intently. From outside, in the hallway, came the faintest sound of footsteps.

A strange smell, as if piercing through the soft-package door and walls, invaded the space we were in.

With a sneer, Cao Shifei swiftly vanished into thin air.

That breath made my hair stand on end, as if a gigantic phantom jellyfish drifted past from outside, its tentacles reaching up to the top of my head... nod frantically, my two hands tightly clutching the upper half of the seal.Unless the old monster cuts off my hands, I will never let go.Mu Wanchen immediately turned and entered the darkness. Soon,...
