The casino was huge, housing at least a hundred gambling tables both inside and out.
Bouncers and waiters all together numbered at least several hundred people.
The people who could come and go and gamble in this casino were either rich or powerful; ordinary folks could not even dream of entering.
But Shen Zhongming was an exception to this rule.
Because Shi Yu had given his word, not only could Shen Zhongming enter and leave at will, but he could also use the chips without any limit. The losses were on the casino, and the winnings were his.
That’s why no one ever shooed him out, even if he gambled there every day.
Shen Zhongming wasn’t skilled in anything other than gambling, at most he could guess the sizes in dice games.
He had just placed his bet and before it even started, someone rudely dragged him aside.
"Shen Zhongming, can’t you do something productive besides gambling? Gambling, gambling, that’s all you do all day! You never think about improving!" Shen Cheng did not mince her words and scolded him outright as soon as she arrived.
"Girl, can’t you be a bit more gentle?" Shen Zhongming forced a smile, "Dad just got here!"
"Get lost! You just came back from the restroom, more like!" Shen Cheng was furious.
"Oh dear, only my daughter really understands me, it’s not in vain that I have worked so hard to raise you to this size..."
"..." Damn, don’t you feel embarrassed saying that?
"Alright girl, don’t be mad at dad anymore, if it really bothers you that much, I will stop gambling," Shen Zhongming pulled her aside to sit down, seriously for once, "I know about the issues between you and the two siblings from the Shen family. How is it going, have they been troubling you?"
"Hmm, your own brother ordered people to kidnap me, but they didn’t succeed." Shen Cheng took the tea passed by a waiter and lightly sipped it.
"Shen Laohu ordered someone to kidnap you?" Shen Zhongming became serious all of a sudden, "Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
"I’m fine." Shen Cheng put down her teacup and spoke faintly, "I came to remind you to be cautious. You know the temper of Shen Laohu better than I do, he is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and could do anything."
"Girl, we actually shouldn’t stay in Jiang City..." Shen Zhongming sighed, his eyes expressing complexity.
"Stay, why shouldn’t we stay? The more dangerous the place, the safer it is." And besides, the debts Shen family owed her, she would claim them all back sooner or later.
Meanwhile, at the Shen Family.
A subordinate who had acquired some information reported at once: "Second Master, none of the people you sent out have returned, they have all been arrested."
Shen Bo slammed his hand on the table, furious: "Useless! You can’t even handle this simple task!"
The subordinate trembled: "Second Master, what should we do now? Should we send people again?"
Shen Bo was furious, "We’ve already alerted them, what’s the use of sending more people now! I really wasted my time on you lot of dogs!"
Knowing that the attempt had failed, Shen Ming instead calmed down, "Uncle, in my opinion, it’s best to wait and see for now. As long as Shen Cheng doesn’t come looking for us, we don’t need to worry. Let’s make ample preparations before we make any moves."
Shen Bo did not oppose his suggestion and left after dropping a single word.
As soon as he left, Shen Hua came down from upstairs, ran up to Shen Ming batting her innocent eyes, "Brother, you and uncle aren’t planning to let Shen Cheng off, are you?"
Shen Ming did not answer her directly, but spoke ominously, "She acts on the first, I’ll act on the fifteenth."
