"But what?"

Xie Lingqin raised her hand and awkwardly pointed behind him with a laugh.

The handsome young man immediately turned around...

"Young master, my master requests that you come to the back for a talk." Two burly men strode over and blocked the young man's path.

Well, she said it's not a good place to steal.

Xie Lingqin shook her head, then turned around, intending to blend into the crowd.

"Hey, he, he's with me." However, as soon as Xie Lingqin took a step, the pale-faced young man turned out to be shameless and dragged her into the mess.

Xie Lingqin's lips twitched slightly, but before she could make a move, two more burly men came up and blocked her way.

"Young master, please come with me."

Xie Lingqin smiled with narrowed eyes, "What do you mean by an undeserved disaster?"

That's it!

There were too many people and too much gossip around, so she could easily have run away if she wanted to, but she didn't want to make too many enemies.

We are currently outnumbered and vulnerable, walking on thin ice, and must not act rashly.

The owner behind Fu Yue Casino is no ordinary person.

Therefore, Xie Lingqin patiently flicked her sleeves, her male disguise flawless, and said, "Gentlemen, I do not know this young master."

"Young master, please." The two men were tall and burly, their expressions serious, and they didn't listen to her explanation at all.

Xie Lingqin composed herself, glanced around, and after a moment, gave the pale-faced young man a cold look before following him into the back hall.

Unlike the noisy and bustling front, the back hall was like another world.

Quiet, elegant, with exotic flowers and stones, it catches the eye.

"Wow!" The pale-faced young man beside him couldn't help but exclaim.

Xie Lingqin remained relatively silent. She had realized that although the courtyard looked quiet and deserted, it was actually full of traps, so she decided to be cautious.

"Hey, what's your name? Let's be friends." The handsome young man was quite optimistic, his eyebrows dancing as he smiled at Xie Lingqin, revealing eight big white teeth.

Xie Lingqin gave a faint "hmm" and remained silent.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'uh'? Don't worry, I heard the owner of this gambling den is a fair and square person, he won't do anything to us, don't worry."

"Heh!" Xie Lingqin sneered.

"Hey, you're so boring. Would it kill you to actually laugh?"

"Can you laugh at someone who dragged you into this mess?" Xie Lingqin retorted coldly.

The pale-faced young man immediately fell silent, pursed his lips, waved his hand, and shook his head, saying, "Narrow-minded."

"You're so generous. Please let me, an innocent person who has been implicated by you, get away unscathed in a moment," Xie Lingqin said sarcastically.

The pale-faced young man was immediately rendered speechless, realizing he was in the wrong.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the four burly men following behind them didn't even blink.

After walking through an extremely long corridor, we finally stopped in front of a deep red door.

"Miss, the person who stole the silver in the lobby has been brought to justice."

One of the men knocked lightly on the door and announced loudly.

"Bring it in."

As a languid female voice rang out, the door opened silently, and a rich, fragrant aroma filled the room.

Looking closer, the faint red gauze swayed gently, like a beautiful woman dancing.

This place...

Something's strange.

As Xie Lingqin was thinking this, the four guards behind her gave her and the handsome young man a strong push and said, "Go in."

Behind him, the door closed quietly.

"Can't you guys be a little gentler?" the pale-faced young man yelled at the door.

"Look ahead," Xie Lingqin reminded him.

The pale-faced young man then turned his head.

In the inner room just a few steps away, a red gauze curtain was gently lifted by a hand as white as jade, and then, a beautiful face was revealed.

It truly resembled a naturally formed canna lily that suddenly burst into one's view.

She may not have an exceptionally beautiful face, but she possesses a unique and irresistible charm that no one else can replicate.

She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with her black hair styled in a bun and her breasts partially exposed. A light veil covered her alluring figure, which was full yet perfectly proportioned.

The woman walked gracefully across the polished floor, her captivating gaze sweeping over the handsome young man and Xie Lingqin like a feather plucked from their hearts.

A fragrant breeze wafted by, causing the woman's skirt to sway, revealing glimpses of her fair thighs.

She's a stunning beauty.

A natural beauty.

At this moment, the woman was already sitting in the head seat of the room, on the largest carved mahogany chair.

"Um, I..." The pale-faced young man's voice was weak, clearly driven by lust, but he still had some sense. He stepped forward and reached into his sleeve, "I'll return the silver to you."

"No need." Before she could even take out the purse, the woman flicked her sleeve and smiled seductively, "Keep it."

Her voice was like that of a lazy, languid fox or cat.

Xie Lingqin frowned.

So easy to talk to?

"This, how could I possibly accept this?" The young man with the pale face was really quite cheeky. He said he was sorry, but he still shamelessly put the silver into his sleeve.

"How could I be so embarrassed? I'm just feeling a bit bored today. Why don't you two stay and have a meal with me?" the woman said, her eyes filled with affection.

Xie Linglou unconsciously lowered his gaze. Eating? After observing the woman again and confirming that she had no murderous intent, he cupped his hands and said, "Beautiful sister, I have other matters to attend to, and I do not know this young master. May I take my leave?"

"Oh, you're leaving?" The woman raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Lingqin with a leisurely air. After a moment, her eyes flashed and she actually chuckled, "So... you came forward."

Those eyes may look gentle and understanding, but they're definitely not easy to get along with.
