As long as I get that 50,000 yuan, I don't need to care about any emotions.

By then, we'll all be good brothers, like brothers, and there won't be any insurmountable grudges.

"good."

Zhao Jixue nodded. He was relieved to have spoken with his older brother, knowing that having someone to help would increase the success rate.

He wanted to see what Su Chengguo was really up to.

Zhao Jixue entered the room and saw that Su Chengguo was still fast asleep. Looking at his bulging pants, Zhao Jixue swallowed and walked over. That was all money!

He desperately wanted to steal the money right away, but he knew he couldn't now.

He went over and shook Su Chengguo awake: "Chengguo, Chengguo, wake up."

Su Chengguo opened her eyes, looking at Zhao Jixue with a dazed and innocent expression, then greeted him with a smile: "Brother Xue, you're back. I'm so sorry, I was really scared last night, that's why I left first. Let me tell you..."

Su Chengguo fabricated a set of reasons why he left early.

It's quite simple. He went to the bathroom, felt the cold wind and sobered up, and then, feeling timid, he wanted to go home immediately.

But halfway there, I realized I'd forgotten to tell Zhao Jixue, but I figured he wouldn't care, so I came back first.

Zhao Jixue couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing this. He considered many possibilities in his mind, but he never thought that Su Chengguo was just timid...

He overestimated Su Chengguo; that kid isn't that smart.

"Hey bro, I made almost 50,000! How much did you make?"

Su Chengguo smiled foolishly and asked.

This was like a knife to Zhao Jixue's heart; he didn't earn a single penny and even got beaten up.

If it weren't for the fear of being hit in the face and having his abnormality noticed, his face would have turned into a pig's head. The places covered by his clothes were covered with bruises and purple marks. People from those places are ruthless and deliberately choose places that don't hurt but are extremely painful to hit.

The pain won't disappear for at least ten days after being beaten, but such an injury doesn't prevent a person from working normally.

But it was impossible to tell Su Chengguo this, so Zhao Jixue smiled and said, "I was distracted after you left and lost everything... I was always worried that something would happen to you, and I lost everything without even realizing it. But this is normal. We can still make a fortune next time!"

Zhao Jixue could lie with ease.

Su Chengguo was deeply moved after hearing this. Without hesitation, he took out several stacks of money and immediately divided it with Zhao Jixue: "Brother Xue, thanks to you for helping me make money, let's split it 50/50, we're good brothers!"

Zhao Jixue hadn't expected Su Chengguo to do this, so his joy at this moment was genuine.

"Good brother, thank you for your kindness."

Zhao Jixue watched as Su Chengguo divided the money into two equal parts, splitting the tens of thousands of yuan in half.

Su Chengguo earned a total of 46,702. After splitting it equally, each person received 23,350, and the remaining 20 was given to Zhao Jifa.

Zhao Jixue was moved to tears by Su Chengguo's clear explanation. He was relieved by Su Chengguo's sincerity, which made it much easier to bring him back to the casino.

"Today's a good day, senior, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

Su Chengguo carefully put all the money away, and then spoke to Zhao Jixue with great enthusiasm.

Zhao Jixue nodded and said, "You stay home and rest. I'll go buy some good wine, and we'll drink our fill tonight!"

Su Chengguo just wanted to have a drink, so of course her small request was granted.

Su Chengguo nodded, and Zhao Jixue got up and left.

Su Chengguo opened his precious backpack and smiled as he looked at the fat mouse in the cage.

"Wait a little longer, and you'll be free tonight."

Having already made his money, he naturally no longer needed to act alongside Zhao Jixue. However, he had promised to save Gray-Clad's freedom, which was why he continued to act alongside Zhao Jixue.

Once Zhao Jixue gets drunk tonight, it will be easier for him to move around.

Having just made that splitting move, Zhao Jixue would have no reason to be on guard against him.

Zhao Jixue and Zhao Jifa were both only so-so at drinking, far less so than him. Whenever the two brothers got drunk, their parents didn't care, and besides, they knew nothing about it.

Su Chengguo wasn't really planning to give the money to Zhao Jixue; he planned to take it back once Zhao Jixue died drunk.

As for Zhao Jixue waking up tomorrow and finding that the money and the treasure are gone, that's none of his business, since he didn't even know Zhao Jixue had any treasure!

Su Chengguo thought to himself how clever he was, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Who could possibly outsmart him?

The gray-clothed girl looked at Su Chengguo and felt a sense of closeness. She leaned over and touched Su Chengguo's hand, making a 'squeak' sound.

Thank you, thank you Su Chengguo.

The woman in gray looked at Su Chengguo with her big, dark eyes, her eyes full of gratitude.

"The more I look at it, the more pleasing it becomes."

Looking at the chubby, round gray-clothed creature, Su Chengguo no longer considered it a mouse. Even when the gray-clothed creature touched his finger, he wasn't afraid and even poked its plump body.

The woman in gray stepped back slightly, looking at Su Chengguo innocently.

"Just bear with it a little longer."

Su Chengguo thought the gray-clothed man was really cute, so he zipped up his backpack again to avoid being discovered.

After all, Su Chengguo was completely unaware of the gray-clad figure's existence throughout the entire scene.

In the evening, the Zhao brothers prepared a sumptuous feast.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were heartbroken when they saw it; how much money must that have cost?

Zhao's mother didn't have much of an appetite, and Zhao's father, whose health wasn't very good to begin with, couldn't eat anything too greasy or heavy.

The children couldn't eat much either.

Su Chengguo and the others drank and ate at the same time.

Zhao's mother would come in every now and then to check on things. Seeing that all the good food had been eaten, she gritted her teeth and cursed Su Chengguo in her heart for being a good-for-nothing!

How can you eat so much? It's like you never ate anything good in your past life. Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?

So much food, we ate it all...

Since it was her two sons who ate it, Zhao's mother naturally didn't care or pay attention to it. In her eyes, it was all eaten by Su Chengguo.

As the night deepened, both Zhao Jifa and Zhao Jixue passed out from drinking.

Su Chengguo carried Zhao Jifa back to his room, and then came back to carry Zhao Jixue.

Su Chengguo carried Zhao Jixue back to his room and put him down. Zhao Jixue soon started snoring.

Su Chengguo began to grope around, took off the rope hanging around his neck, opened the cage, and handed the small bottle to the gray-clothed man.

Su Chengguo scratched the back of her head and whispered, "Is this okay?"

Su Chengguo couldn't understand the squeaks coming from the gray-clothed mouse, but he saw the fat mouse nod its little head, which meant it was okay.

The gray-clothed creature had wet, dark eyes and bowed its two little paws to Su Chengguo as a gesture of gratitude.

Su Chengguo found it so adorable that he forgot what he was supposed to be scared of. He smiled and said, "Don't thank me, you're free now, go on your way."

The man in gray nodded repeatedly, then bit open the small bottle with his teeth. Strands of gray hair floated out of the bottle, emitting a faint glow in the darkness. They gradually covered the man in gray, until the light disappeared and everything returned to normal.
