Chuanliu held a pile of chips in his hand, looking at Qianchuan with a chuckle.

The latter immediately noticed the plate of chips in her hand. He frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

Where did you get so much money?

Chuanliu feigned surprise, "Huh? Is that not allowed?"

After estimating the number of chips, Qianchuan grabbed Chuanliu's wrist, "You pawned those five '2s of Diamonds'?"

The man exerted force, and the veins on his hands bulged.

Chuanliu winced in pain, recalling the basic self-defense techniques Wu Fangming had taught him. He then delivered a powerful knee strike, accurately hitting the man's lower abdomen.

"hiss……"

Caught off guard by the sneak attack, the money string immediately released its grip in pain, clutching its stomach and gasping for breath.

"If you want to talk, talk properly, don't resort to physical violence."

Chuanliu warned softly, his tone tinged with a hint of triumph.

Seeing that the girl was about to leave, Qian Chuan endured the lingering pain and stood in front of her.

What do you want to do?

Chuanliu waved the chips in his hand. "I'm going to exchange them for chips, is there a problem?"

"No! I gave you the '2 of Diamonds' not so you could exchange it for money!"

He never expected that after he gave the girl five "2s of Diamonds", she would turn around and exchange them for money.

Wouldn't a normal person keep it in their hand as a trump card?

Chuanliu approached him, looking innocent, and said, "Now that you've given it to me, I can do whatever I want with it. Do you intend to take it back?"

Qian Chuan tried to grab her again, but saw the girl lift her leg again, so he quickly took two steps back.

He couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that after encountering the river, things would often happen that were beyond his expectations.

Just then, Wang Shuo came downstairs to greet them. "Hey, Brother Chuan, you two are flirting here."

Qian Chuan replied, "Shuozi, come and see our ancestors."

Wang Shuo looked back and forth between the two curiously, as if deep in thought. "What's going on? What earth-shattering thing has Chuanliu done this time?"

Money String said irritably, "She pawned five 'Two of Diamonds'."

Wang Shuo nearly choked on his own saliva. After coughing for a while, he finally calmed down. "Where did she get so many cards?"

This must include all the "Cube 2" tiles in Paradise Island, right?

Suddenly remembering how he had taught Ma Hu a lesson, he turned to Qian Chuan and asked, "You gave it to her?"

The latter nodded reluctantly.

Wang Shuo looked at the money string with a strange expression. When did this "miser" become so generous?

Chuanliu still had a smile on her face. "If you two brothers have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave now."

As he spoke, he headed to the exchange counter to exchange his chips for cash and leave.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Wang Shuo pulled her back.

With her leaving, the Red Peach Casino will lose another 10,000 yuan for no reason.

"Let's talk this out. Why can't we discuss things properly? Come on, both of you, come with me."

Wang Shuo took one arm in each of theirs and led them upstairs to the VIP room.

The three sat down, and Wang Shuo said to Chuanliu in a serious tone, "Hey little ancestor, you can't keep coming here to generate cash flow every time. Your brother Shuo isn't having an easy time either. If this keeps up, even the richest family won't have any surplus grain."

Chuanliu: "And what's your opinion?"

Wang Shuo patiently persuaded, "Keep it in your possession to save your life in a critical moment, or give it away, or sell it on the black market. If you have any difficulties, you can tell your brother, and your brother will help you."

Chuanliu remained calm and composed. "The card with the number 2 can be exchanged for 2,000 yuan. That's your rule. I don't think I've done anything against the rules, have I?"

"Well……"

Wang Shuo was speechless and looked to Qian Chuan for help.

Qian Chuan had calmed down and said, "Are you still concerned about Xu Zhi and Jia Zuowei?"

"Why can't it just be that I'm short of money?"

"Chuanliu, don't push your luck."

Qian Chuan lost his patience, and his tone became more warning.

Chuanliu remained unmoved by the man's emotions. "These five cards are hush money for me, you said it yourself. How come you're making a fuss over nothing?"

Qian Chuan originally wanted to make Chuan Liu "Diamond 2" so that he could both shut down the source and share the risk.

But now it seems that Chuanliu had no such plans at all.

He sighed; this was already the umpteenth time he'd sighed in days. "What do you want?"

Chuanliu once again showed the two the large sum of money he had acquired.

"Don't talk to me like that. You had six '2s of Diamonds' yourself, but you gave me five. Weren't you trying to leave yourself an escape route? You're just angry that I cut off your escape route."

When his idea was guessed, Qian Chuan's attitude softened.

After thinking for a moment, he pulled out the sixth "2 of Diamonds" from deep inside his clothes and placed it on the table.

"If you stop here, this '2 of Diamonds' is yours."

Chuanliu smiled and quickly pocketed the "2 of Diamonds".

"Great job, you truly are my good brother."

The phrase "good brother" sent a shiver down Qian Chuan's spine; he was already on the verge of developing PTSD from those three words.

Since he met Chuanliu, he has been scammed out of no less than 100,000 yuan.

What a terrible thing!

Wang Shuo listened to their transaction from the side and then realized what was going on.

"Wait a minute? That's not right. So we're still paying for the 10,000?"

Qian Chuan patted him on the shoulder to show his approval, which was met with a series of mournful wails from the latter.

"Oh my god, I just met Sister Chuanliu and I already lost over 80,000 yuan at the casino; then she broke the game table in my VIP room, and the cost of replacing the table was deducted from my performance bonus; now she wants another 10,000 yuan, how am I supposed to live!"

Chuanliu fiddled with the "2 of Diamonds" in his hand and smiled brightly at Qianlian.

For some reason, Qianchuan always felt that Chuanliu was brewing something.

Storage card balance: 13,000.

Identity cards: One WD special card and one "2 of Diamonds".

After bidding farewell to Qian Chuan and Wang Shuo, Chuan Liu returned to the villa.

From a distance, a group of homeless people could be seen standing outside the villa.

The homeless man was shouting at the door with a stick. Wu Fangming didn't seem to be home. Aunt Wu locked the door tightly and was too scared to peek out.

"Brothers, 'Diamond 3' is dead. I saw it with my own eyes that night!"

"This place no longer has an owner, so why are they still occupying it?"

"That's right! This place should be ours!"

The leader and his group shouted loudly and pounded on the iron railings aggressively. Several agile individuals had already climbed over the railings and were about to jump into the courtyard.

Chuanliu watched the group of somewhat deranged homeless people from the sidelines. The villa held a fatal attraction for them, who had been deprived of spiritual fulfillment for too long.
