Tang Nuan's back injury was quite severe, which caused her to develop a high fever and remain unconscious for a day.

When she woke up, it was already dark, and the servants stayed by her side to feed her medicine.

"What time is it now?"

"It's already past seven o'clock. The master said that if you wake up, he will give you your medicine and then you can eat."

The maid held the bowl of medicine to her lips, but the smell of the Chinese medicine made Tang Nuan's stomach churn violently, and she instinctively looked at her face.

No matter what the maid said, she refused to take the medicine.

"Since you don't want to drink, then I'll have to go and invite the master over."

The maid put down the medicine bowl, got up, and left.

Tang Nuan was thinking about the child from earlier that day, so she struggled to get out of bed, but the movement aggravated the injury on her back, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

There's no way to get out of this bed.

In the front hall, Siye was wiping down the newly arrived guns, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He asked casually, "She refuses to take her medicine or eat anything?"

"Yes, no matter how we try to persuade them, it's no use."

"I made her feel wronged today, and now she's throwing a tantrum."

Siye put down his things, got up, and was about to go see Tang Nuan.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Chen Qi hurrying past the door.

"Chen Qi," he called out to him.

Chen Qi stopped and turned around. "Did you need something from me?"

Si Ye's sharp eyes scrutinized him. "Weren't you supposed to be on duty at the underground casino today? Why are you back so early?"

A dark glint flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, but he said without changing his expression, "I had something to do and switched shifts with someone else. I was thinking of making up for it tomorrow."

"What could be more important than making money for Laibu?"

"Personal matters."

"Heh, it's related to your young lady again, isn't it?"

Si Ye slowly stepped forward, deliberately leaning close to his ear and coldly said, "If it weren't for your pleading, and because I think you're a talented person, I would have dealt with that vicious woman long ago. Chen Qiwo values ​​you so much, so don't disappoint me."

"I will definitely do my best to serve Laibu."

"Hmm, I think it's still quite early, so let's go to the casino together."

“But…” Chen Qi raised his head, wanting to say that he had other things to do.

Siye narrowed his eyes slightly. "What, is there something more important to you than the casino?"

"No, let's go then."

"Um."

The two walked out the door together.

At the same time, several servants were brought in from outside.

"Master." The person standing at the front greeted Siye.

Si Ye's gaze fell on them, and he asked, "Are these all newly hired servants?"

"Yes, they were selected through a rigorous process and are just about to be brought here for you to see."

Si Ye scanned each of the maids; they were all young and beautiful, except for one…

Standing at the very back, Xue Ni had a red birthmark on her face, making her stand out among the group of pretty girls.

"How come an ugly one was mixed in?"

“Master, this girl has some martial arts skills. I’m thinking of keeping her and training her in the future.”

Siye walked up to Xueni and looked her over carefully.

Xue Ni gave him a simple, honest smile, which seemed incredibly sincere.

"Knows kung fu? What do you mean?"

Someone handed Xue Ni a pear.

Sheryl crushed it with her bare hands on the spot.

Si Ye glanced at her a few more times, his face dark and thoughtful.

Sherney held her breath, unsure if he would become suspicious.

"We should head over there," Chen Qi reminded them.

"Hmm." Siye withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked away.

Xue Ni breathed a sigh of relief; she had successfully passed the first hurdle!
