Xue'er didn't usually drink, but upon hearing such good news, she couldn't possibly celebrate her joy without a drink, so she subconsciously accepted: "Thank you so much for your help during this time, Chief. When I return to Young Master's side, I will definitely put in a good word for you."

Mei Chaofeng laughed heartily: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

Seeing the two clinking glasses in celebration, the messenger disciple finally realized they had misunderstood him and was so anxious he almost cried: "Master, it wasn't Zu'an who lost 7.5 million taels, it was us who lost 7.5 million taels to him!"

Mei Chaofeng and Xue'er were clinking glasses, their smiles still lingering, when they heard these words. His usually steady hand, holding a knife, trembled, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Xue'er, who was opposite her, also looked bewildered. Clearly, no matter how wildly she imagined it, she couldn't have come up with such a situation.

"Say it again?" Mei Chaofeng's face was gloomy. He was highly skilled in cultivation and usually kept his word. He never made his subordinates report twice. But today's events were too surreal, and he had to confirm them again.

"Zu An won 7.5 million taels from the Silver Hook Gambling House. Now Seventh Master has fainted, and the gambling house is in complete chaos. Chief, you should go and take charge quickly." The disciple was almost crying with anxiety.

Mei Chaofeng finally realized it, and he was completely petrified. 7.5 million taels of silver, what does that mean?

Let alone the Plum Blossom Gang, even the Bright Moon City, or rather, the combined tax revenue of several nearby counties, doesn't amount to this much in a year!

It's all over, it's all over!

Mei Chaofeng was so unsteady on her feet that she swayed and plopped down on the stool.

Xue'er, on the other side, was a little calmer and hurriedly asked the disciple who brought the news, "What happened? How could he have won so much?"

The disciple was somewhat surprised that there was such a delicate and beautiful young woman in the leader's room. Although her face was covered by a veil, her figure and eyes revealed her to be an extremely beautiful girl. However, he didn't have time to appreciate her beauty and hurriedly replied, "In the first round, he bet all his money on 17 points with odds of 50 to 1 and won 50,000 taels of silver. Then in the second round, he bet all 50,000 taels on a triple with odds of 1 to 150, so he won 7.5 million taels in one go."

Mei Chaofeng finally came to her senses, leaping up from her chair like an enraged lion, grabbing the disciple by the collar: "How could that good-for-nothing win every time, and with such a low probability? He cheated?"

"No," the disciple said, his body trembling, fearing that the gang leader might twist his neck in a fit of rage. "How could anyone cheat in front of us at the Silver Hook Gambling House? That's why the whole thing is absurd."

At this moment, Xue'er suddenly spoke up: "Could it be that Miss Chu can sense the movement of the dice and secretly told him?" She herself was not very confident in saying this, and she really couldn't understand how Chu Chuyan could participate in gambling, let alone help that good-for-nothing.

Mei Chaofeng shook her head: "Impossible. Our dice cup has a magic array carved by a master rune artist from the capital that can isolate the perception of Yuan Qi. Let alone a fifth-rank, even if she were a grandmaster, she wouldn't know it. Otherwise, there would be no gambling dens in this world. They would have been bankrupted by experts long ago."

Xue'er said, "There's no point in speculating all this here. Let's hurry over and check the situation."

"Not bad, not bad..." Mei Chaofeng, who was still somewhat at a loss, finally came to her senses after hearing this. "Pass down the order, brothers, grab your weapons and come with me!"

He had already made up his mind. Pay? He would never pay in his lifetime!

7.5 million taels! What does that mean? Even if you dismantled and sold the entire Plum Blossom Gang, you wouldn't get that much.

He had decided that even if it meant breaking ties with the Chu family tonight, he would never accept this debt.

The Plum Blossom Gang headquarters and the Silver Hook Gambling House were not far apart. Mei Chaofeng was extremely anxious and ran at top speed, arriving at the gambling house in no time.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered outside the casino. People had heard that someone had won 7.5 million taels of silver in two rounds, and people from many places had come to see the spectacle.

Mei Chaofeng finally managed to squeeze in, only to find the casino in complete chaos. Those who loved watching the drama were chanting, "Give us money! Give us money! Give us money!"

They were even shouting in a pretty rhythmic way.

At this moment, Zu'an was lounging on a large chair that had been moved from somewhere, with his feet directly on the gambling table. A group of people were serving him tea and water, massaging his legs and back, and even some maids were peeling grapes and feeding him one by one.

Mei Chaofeng was speechless. He had always thought that these maids and servants were specially used by the Silver Hook Gambling House to entertain distinguished guests, but now they were serving that good-for-nothing like this?

Are you fucking trying to rebel against heaven?

Even if it's just poisoning the grapes he eats, that would be better!

Mei Chaofeng's anger level increased by 400!

Upon hearing the anger points received from the backstage, Zu'an waved his hand and pushed the person in front of him aside, finally seeing Mei Chaofeng's dark expression.

"This must be Chief Mei. Since you're here, let's settle the bill. It's 7.5 million taels in total. Thank you for your patronage." Zu An stretched out his hand in front of him.

Chu Chuyan, who had been standing to the side with a look of disgust, subconsciously moved closer. This Mei Chaofeng was a ruthless person who had unified the underworld of Mingyue City over the years and had countless lives on her hands.

Mei Chaofeng's face twitched, and he remained silent for a long time. How could he possibly come up with 7.5 million taels?

Seeing that he remained silent, Zu'an laughed: "The gang leader is a big shot in Brightmoon City. Surely he's not trying to renege on his debt? There are so many witnesses here."
