264: Chapter 264: Anticipating the Criminal in the Casino 264: Chapter 264: Anticipating the Criminal in the Casino While Miao Honglei was feeling somewhat depressed, at that moment, Ding Yongwei called him, asking whether Xiang Yu had been killed.
Miao Honglei had confidently claimed that he would certainly kill the three, including Xiang Yu, and now Ding Yongwei’s call felt like a slap in the face, making his already depressed mood even more somber, while also increasing his animosity towards Xiang Yu.
Ding Yongwei, of course, knew that Xiang Yu wasn’t dead, and his call was also intended to mock Miao Honglei.
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yongwei sat there with a puzzled face, next to him was Luo Lin.
“Nothing was left at the scene?” Ding Yongwei said, frowning.
At the time, their undercover reported back that the Thais had suddenly double-crossed, planning to rip them off.
Only then had they deployed men, intending to snatch the goods.
After all, these goods were supposed to belong to Miao Honglei, and they couldn’t just claim them outright.
However, the unexpected part was that the Thais had also died there, which meant it wasn’t their doing, and there had to be a third party.
But they knew everyone of some reputation in this city, and doubted anyone would dare to rob their cargo.
“Who exactly did it?” Ding Yongwei sat there completely baffled.
“I suspect it was the three, including Xiang Yu,” said Luo Lin bluntly.
Luo Lin had fought with Xiang Yu and knew he was no match for him.
He then wanted to raise Xiang Yu’s value, to prove that he himself wasn’t a fool.
How could three people kill so many?
There must be another force involved.
Send someone to investigate thoroughly,” Ding Yongwei ordered.
Luo Lin agreed and then left.
In fact, at the scene, he had found many peanut shells, but he hadn’t paid attention to this small detail, nor had he mentioned it.
If they really knew Xiang Yu, they would realize that those peanut shells were left by him.
After returning from Miao Honglei’s, Zhong Qin had Tie Zhuzi and the other person stay, while she took Xiang Yu out.
As per the old rules, every time Zhong Qin went out, she had to inform Ding Yongwei or Miao Honglei, who would send people for protection.
But now that she had Xiang Yu by her side, she didn’t need anyone else.
Zhong Qin excitedly took Xiang Yu out the door stealthily, then drove into the city.
“Girl, tell me about Ding Yongwei and the others,” Xiang Yu seized the opportunity to ask.
“What’s there to say about them?
They’re all a bunch of big bad guys.
Come on, I’ll take you to a fun place,” Zhong Qin mystically pulled Xiang Yu along and arrived in front of a large building.
As they were about to enter the building, someone approached to stop them.
Zhong Qin took out a card and showed it to the person before they were allowed to proceed.
There was nothing special about the building, just a normal office building.
But when they reached the third floor, Xiang Yu was completely dumbfounded.
There were many people inside all shouting and yelling.
“A casino?” Xiang Yu exclaimed involuntarily.
“That’s right, don’t make such a fuss.
This is my Aunt Mo Lan’s territory.
We can’t let her see us here,” Zhong Qin was very excited and exchanged money for chips at the entrance.
“Let’s go, let’s gamble a bit,” Zhong Qin said as she gave half of the chips to Xiang Yu and then went off to play on her own.
Xiang Yu had nothing better to do anyway, so he also took the chips and made a couple of bets.
After all, it wasn’t his own money, so losing didn’t matter much.
But to his surprise, he lost everything so thoroughly that within half an hour, he had squandered all the chips he held.
Looking over at Zhong Qin, who was playing cards in the distance, her stack of chips had grown considerably.
It was obvious that this young girl was a pro.
Xiang Yu wasn’t particularly concerned at first.
But then he noticed two guys standing behind Zhong Qin with ill intentions.
Zhong Qin, caught up in her game, paid no attention to anything else and kept shouting her bets.
One of the men approached and patted her on the shoulder, “Little sister, why are you still here?
Hurry up and go home.”
Zhong Qin, with wide eyes full of confusion, glanced at the man.
He was smiling at her as if they were familiar, but Zhong Qin did not recognize him.
“Yeah, you should really go home.
I’ll take care of these for you,” another man said, coming over and patting Zhong Qin as well.
At that moment, Zhong Qin just felt her mind go fuzzy, then she nodded unconsciously.
Xiang Yu saw the whole thing and knew those men must have some sort of sedative drug on their hands.
“Let her go,” Xiang Yu suddenly demanded, stepping in front of the two men.
Both were taken aback; they had been observing Zhong Qin for a while, thinking she was alone and it was a good opportunity to make a move.
They didn’t expect someone to interfere.
“What are you, and what do you want?” asked one of the men, who was holding onto Zhong Qin, while the other stood in front of Xiang Yu, his expression fierce.
“I told you to let the girl go, did you hear me?” Xiang Yu shouted at the man behind him.
By now, they had attracted the attention of the crowd around them.
People were looking their way, having never seen anyone dare to make trouble in this place.
“You idiot, if you don’t move aside, I won’t be polite anymore,” the man said, glaring and covertly revealing a dagger at his waist, hoping Xiang Yu would back down at the sight of it.
To his disappointment, Xiang Yu remained still.
Security from the casino was closing in, and the man, somewhat nervous, advised Xiang Yu, “You better step aside, or it won’t end well for either of us.”
Fear was evident in his eyes, clearly wary of the casino’s security guards.
Xiang Yu, however, shook his head and showed no intention of moving aside.
Seeing the security guards approaching, the two men decided they didn’t want to linger and let go of Zhong Qin, attempting to leave.
Once you get outside, I’ll take good care of you,” one of the men said, trying to pass by Xiang Yu.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu grabbed the man’s collar and threw him back.
The other guy looked at Xiang Yu with a face full of shock, not because he was afraid of Xiang Yu, but because he was astonished that someone would dare to cause a scene and fight right there.
While he was still stunned, Xiang Yu kicked him in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Although they were both beaten up by Xiang Yu, the two men didn’t dare to stay any longer.
They got up and were about to head outside when the security guards surrounded the place.
A tall guard approached, cursing loudly.
“Fuck, who’s the blind fuck causing trouble here?
Grab them and get them out,” the tall guard commanded fiercely.
“Big brother, it’s not our fault, he’s the one who started it, he came here looking for trouble,” the two men hurriedly explained, showing obvious fear of the tall guard.
The tall guard looked at Xiang Yu, who stood there calmly, and felt an instant discomfort.
It was a blatant contempt for his authority…
