Chapter 260 Using a borrowed knife to kill

The girl's anxious voice interrupted Cao He, drawing strange looks from the others.

She walked up to Cao He and said sincerely, "Mr. Cao, if it weren't for me, this might not have happened. It's all my fault! So, I'll pay for it."

Cao He's heart skipped a beat, but he still refused with a righteous and stern expression: "Miss Chuanliu, you are a distinguished guest of our Red Peach City. How can we let you pay for this? Besides, this is an internal matter, and it is my responsibility to resolve it."

Chuanliu shook his head slightly, squatted down and began to sort through the chips scattered on the ground: "I've already caused you so much trouble. Sister Susan must have spent a lot of time just calculating the losses. I really hope I can do something about this. Let me pay for it."

Cao He tapped the table with one hand. "Hey, this won't do! In the end, it's my people who are incompetent. I'll take over."

The two of them thus found themselves in a "harmonious and friendly" atmosphere, with one vying to pay the bill.

As Susan watched the two of them interact, she felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

How did things suddenly turn out this way?

Her gaze fell on the chips in Chuanliu's hand, and an idea flashed through her mind.

Susan stepped forward, smiling as she interrupted the argument between the two: "Mr. Cao, Chuanliu, I have a suggestion. Since we're in the Red Peach Casino, why don't we resolve this according to the casino's rules?"

Cao He frowned slightly, quickly calculating in his mind how to rightfully pass this huge sum of money to Chuanliu, but on the surface he remained calm, waiting for Susan to continue.

Seeing that the two had stopped what they were doing, Susan continued, "Once I've tallied up the casino's losses for today, Mr. Cao and Chuanliu can play a game of the most traditional dice game. Whoever loses will pay for it. What do you think?"

Susan knew that Chuanliu was highly skilled at rolling dice. She knew that if they continued like this, Chuanliu was bound to win, and in the end, the blame would fall on Caohe.

Cao He was also calculating how he could secure a victory in this game.

Chuanliu spoke first, saying, "I have no objection. What do you think, Mr. Cao?"

The latter said in a hoarse voice, "I have no objection either, but it's getting late, how about we fight again tomorrow?"

Susan was secretly delighted; her goal had been achieved. She nodded in agreement, "Perfect. I'll bring some people to reorganize the casino tonight. See you at Red Heart Casino tomorrow! Everyone come!"

Cao He stood up and gave the four detained subordinates a look. They scrambled to their feet and followed him away.

Xiao Yao stood next to Wang Shuo, looking completely bewildered. "Brother Shuo, what's going on?"

Wang Shuo sighed helplessly, greeted Susan and Chuanliu, and then led his men to clean up the mess in the casino.

After Cao He left, Susan frowned. She looked at the messy casino and wondered what Cao He's purpose was.

Should she contact Ms. Chunling?

If Cao He really has ulterior motives... Chunling should make preparations as soon as possible.

But she doesn't have any concrete evidence yet. Won't doing this alert the enemy?

In short, we need to get through tomorrow's hurdle first. Today's losses are enough to skin Cao He alive. Once Chuanliu wins the bet, Cao He won't be able to deny it anymore.

Moreover, this way, Cao He's attention won't be on her; he'll just blame Chuan Liu.

Since Chuanliu wants to cooperate with her, then these are things that Chuanliu should naturally bear.

A calculating glint flashed in Susan's eyes. She could almost picture Cao He's dark face as he paid the bet tomorrow after losing the wager.

"Sister Susan."

The sound of flowing water behind Susan interrupted her thoughts.

Susan turned to look at the girl and said with concern, "Chuanliu, Cao He is still chasing you. Are you sure you'll be okay facing him tomorrow?"

Chuanliu nodded, giving her a resolute look. "Don't worry, I know you started this bet for my own good, and I'll do my best."

"But Chuanliu, why did you insist on paying?" Susan asked, puzzled.

The girl said, "Firstly, it's to lower Cao He's guard against me, making him think I don't know he wanted to kill me. Secondly, by diverting the conflict, Cao He won't target you. Sister Susan, I was serious about the cooperation I mentioned before."

Susan didn't answer; she had her own plans. She simply patted Chuanliu on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Good luck tomorrow."

Time passed quickly, and it was already the sixth day since Chuanliu left through the "secret door".

As the sun sets, the city of red peaches enters its vibrant nighttime mode.

Susan, Chuanliu, Wang Shuo, Xiaoyao, and others waited quietly in the VIP room of the Red Peach Casino. Exquisite tea and fresh fruit had already been laid out, awaiting Cao He's arrival.

"Hehehe, sorry everyone, I'm late."

Cao He's men pushed open the door to the VIP room, and the man stepped inside.

Susan and the others quickly stood up to welcome him in. "How could that be? We just arrived too. Mr. Cao's timing was perfect."

Cao He nodded in satisfaction and sat down in the main seat. "Then let's begin."

Susan clapped her hands, and the waiter immediately brought over two dice cups.

She continued, "The rules are very simple, just a simple comparison. Mr. Cao and Chuanliu each have six dice in their dice cups. Whoever rolls the higher number wins. We'll use a best-of-three format, and the loser will be responsible for paying for yesterday's casino losses."

As she spoke, she had her subordinates bring out a bill and hand it to Cao He and Chuan Liu.

Cao He's pupils contracted instantly, and a dry smile appeared on his lips.

He casually handed the bill back, saying to Chuanliu as if to sound very considerate, "Chuanliu, you're still young and don't have much savings. Isn't this too much money for you? Perhaps..."

The girl quickly interrupted, "It's alright, Mr. Cao, let's follow the rules."

Cao He wanted to hear this, so he smiled and nodded, saying something that surprised everyone present: "I'm too old to play these games or dice games anymore, so let someone else take my place."

Susan's eyelids twitched, and her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Xiaoyao.

Sure enough, Cao He's gaze also fell on the boy next to Wang Shuo. He pointed at the boy and said, "Xiao Yao, you can compete for me."

Xiao Yao was taken aback and immediately looked at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo's expression stiffened. He stepped forward and said to Cao He, "President Cao, Xiao Yao is still too young; I'm afraid she can't shoulder this heavy responsibility..."
