Just then, a male voice came from outside the door: "Dad, I told you before, these people are shameless!"
“If we hadn’t heard it from beginning to end, we probably would have believed it.”
The steward's face immediately turned very ugly. The curtain was lifted, and Xu Qianting and Xu Shoubei walked out from the side.
Commander Xu said with a stern face, "I had heard before that some gambling dens set up schemes to swindle money from outsiders, and several outsiders were swindled to death in a foreign land."
“I used to think that someone was exaggerating, but now I know that this is not only a scam targeting outsiders, but also locals.”
"When they win, they push people to the brink; when they lose, they deny everything. How wonderful!"
After he finished speaking, he coldly shouted, "Men, take them all down!"
More than ten constables rushed out from behind him, carrying chains, and were about to arrest the steward and Li the God of Gamblers.
Seeing that things were not going well, the two immediately fled under the cover of the gambling den's staff.
The two groups of people were locked in a fierce battle, creating a chaotic situation.
Xu Qianting winked at her, looking proud, as if he had done something extraordinary.
Lin Xiuyan gave him a thumbs up, which made him even more proud.
Ye Junfei had originally thought that it would be difficult for her to get away with it after winning.
But the moment Commander Xu appeared, he knew he had underestimated her.
He had been by her side the whole time, so how did she manage to contact Xu Qianting and get him to invite Commander Xu over?
He watched coldly as Xu Qianting exchanged glances with Lin Xiuyan, and he was considering whether to take this opportunity to chop up this annoying Xu Qianting.
Xu Qianting saw his gaze and gave him a defiant look.
Xu Qianting still remembers the time Ye Junfei hit him in that alley.
A man's intuition told him that Ye Junfei was no good and that he was after Lin Xiuyan.
Ye Junfei's lips curled up, and a smile bloomed in his eyes. This smile sent a chill down Xu Qianting's spine.
Lin Xiuyan was unaware of the undercurrents between them, and she had no intention of getting involved in a fight with them.
Knowing how fierce Ye Junfei was, she didn't need to worry about his safety. So she grabbed Xu Qianting and pushed Fan Xilou into the gambling den.
Ye Junfei: "..."
She actually dared to pull other men in front of him!
Xu Qianting immediately beamed with joy, and as he walked to the door, he didn't forget to give Ye Junfei another provocative look.
Ye Junfei has decided to chop Xu Qianting up today!
She took the silver and banknotes stored in the gambling den, rolled them up in a bundle, and her movements were so rough that Fan Xilou was completely stunned.
Xu Qianting kept watch outside, telling them to hurry up.
Lin Xiuyan tossed the bundle to Fan Xilou: "This money should be more than what you lost in the gambling den before. Here you go."
Fan Xilou took the bundle in a daze, only to see her tear down another curtain and fill the bag with the large amount of chips she had collected from the gambling den. In no time, the bag was completely full.
Fan Xilou asked, puzzled, "Why are you installing this?"
As Lin Xiuyan tied the bundle made from the curtains, she replied, "Of course, I'll exchange it for silver when I come back later!"
Fan Xilou: "..."
He knew that all the chips in the gambling den could be cashed out.
Lin Xiuyan took the chips away at this moment. As long as the gambling den is still open, she can use these chips to exchange for silver. This thing is even more useful than IOUs!
Fan Xilou was utterly stunned by her series of actions.
He had previously thought she was just a delicate young girl! (www.cascoo.net)
She's not delicate at all!
Seeing him in a daze, Lin Xiuyan pulled him aside, avoiding a knife swung at him by a nearby gambling den employee.
She kicked him and said, "Stop spacing out, let's go!"
“Commander Xu can’t hold out for long; this is the city lord’s property.”
Fan Xilou was completely confused about what was going on; he just knew he should listen to her.
He carried his bundle and followed behind Lin Xiuyan, rushing straight outside.
Then he saw a scene that he would remember for the rest of his life:
The seemingly delicate Lin Xiuyan suddenly pulled out a knife from somewhere and started slashing wildly at the person in front of her.
He didn't know if she had killed anyone, but her aura was terrifyingly powerful.
Basically, no one can stand in her way.
Her ferocity completely changed Fan Xilou's perception of women.
From then on, he never dared to underestimate any woman again, especially the delicate kind.
Fan Xilou followed her blankly as they stumbled out of the gambling den.
He was a man of the world, but he had never seen a fight like this before.
During the fight, Xu Qianting and Lin Xiuyan separated.
Lin Xiuyan knew that Xu Qianting was, after all, the son of Commander Xu, and Zhou Chenyang wouldn't want to kill him. However, she and Fan Xilou would be in mortal danger.
After Lin Xiuyan came out of the gambling den, she found that there were still dozens of gambling den thugs guarding the outside.
Those people all had murderous intent in their eyes.
Lin Xiuyan grinned. Although she used to get into fights every now and then, she had never been in such a large-scale fight.
She shielded Fan Xilou behind her and asked him, "Do you know where my home is?"
Fan Xilou nodded, and Lin Xiuyan said, "I'll stop these people. You go to my house quickly."
Fan Xilou nodded subconsciously, but after taking a couple of steps, he realized something was wrong and said again, "I'm a man, how can I let you protect me?"
Lin Xiuyan pointed to the group of people in front of her and asked, "Can you beat them?"
Fan Xilou immediately backed down: "I can't beat them."
Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes at him: "Why waste so much breath if you can't beat them? Get lost! Don't get in the way!"
Fan Xilou: "..."
Her blatant disdain made him feel immense pressure.
But when he saw the people opposite him pull out gleaming knives, he immediately chickened out: "Miss Lin, thank you for your hard work."
He turned and ran away after saying that.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She now strongly suspects that he really was the powerful figure from her past life who could casually cut off people's money and supplies with a smile.
He's such a coward!
She tightened her grip on the knife, loosened the curtain bundle on her body, and beckoned to the person opposite her.
She never backs down when it comes to fighting!
The person opposite her couldn't stand her provocation. He immediately brandished his knife and charged at her.
Lin Xiuyan swung her knife so fast it flew, and in the blink of an eye she cut down several people.
However, there were simply too many of them. She cut down a few, but then the others surged forward.
It's estimated that Zhou Chenyang gave the death order, and all these people are ready to fight her to the death.
She gradually lost ground.
Xu Qianting saw this from upstairs and wanted to help her, but unfortunately he was also surrounded and was in a state of retreat, so he simply couldn't spare the energy to save her.
Caught off guard, Lin Xiuyan's arm was slashed.
Although the cut wasn't deep, it almost made her lose her grip on the knife.
In an instant, danger lurked everywhere, and another knife came slashing towards her neck.
