Su Chenggong told Su Chengguo everything he had heard.
Su Chengguo laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother. It's not certain who's playing whom. Zhao Jixue wants to use me and then get away with it. He's dreaming..."
Su Chengguo already has a solution.
Seeing him like this, Su Chenggong couldn't help but ask, "What are you planning to do? Gambling is something you should never touch. Anyone who becomes addicted to gambling will never have a good ending..."
Families are torn apart, wives and children are separated – these are not only seen in TV dramas, but also countless tragedies caused by gambling throughout history.
Su Chenggong hoped that Su Chengguo would stay away from it.
"Brother, I know, but they set everything up for me. I've wasted so many days playing with them, so it's only right that I get some compensation."
Su Chengguo's eyes darkened; he wasn't so kind.
Zhao Jixue used him, so naturally he would use Zhao Jixue in return.
Looking at his worried older brother, Su Chengguo smiled and patted Su Chenggong on the shoulder, then said seriously, "With you all at home, how could I go astray? People who can't guard their minds will always stumble on this path. This time it's a test for me, and next time it might be a test for you. We can't be cowards."
Since we've decided to develop, we'll inevitably encounter these kinds of things sooner or later.
They're always setting up schemes, and if they don't even have that much self-control, they'll fall sooner or later.
Su Chenggong saw the determination in Su Chengguo's eyes, smiled and nodded: "Be careful, I'll be in the shadows."
My brother is right, this is something we can't escape.
Since that's the case, we might as well take a gamble.
Su Chengguo smiled, and the two brothers reached an agreement before Su Chengguo returned to the hotel.
Zhao Jixue was looking for him. He visibly relaxed when he saw him, then came over with a serious expression and asked, "Where have you been?"
He just went to the toilet, and when he came out, he found that the person who was sleeping soundly was gone. He was very worried because he couldn't find anyone.
"Senior, I've had enough sleep. I was just curious, so I went downstairs for a walk. This big city is amazing, it's dazzling! I just passed an alley, and a few pretty girls invited me in for tea. If I wasn't thinking about you, I would have gone in for tea..."
Su Chengguo explained while showing a wistful expression.
Zhao Jixue was relieved after hearing this. He wasn't afraid that Su Chengguo was greedy and lustful, but he was afraid that she would be stubborn and unyielding.
Su Chengguo was right about one thing: this big city is indeed very prosperous. He had suffered losses there before, which is why he wanted to retire from crime.
Just like he was more than ten years ago, Su Chengguo was at a point where he couldn't resist temptation.
"This is nothing. Once we make some money, I'll show you some real fun. For now, let's conserve our energy. Tonight, I'll give you a real eye-opener."
Zhao Jixue patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder, then pulled him upstairs.
As it got dark outside, Su Chengguo complained that she was hungry.
Zhao Jixue smiled and led him out: "When we get there, I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to eat. Come on, you can eat as much as you want."
Su Chengguo's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she followed along with anticipation.
It was a brightly lit high-rise building, ten stories high, covering tens of thousands of square meters, where doormen dressed in wedding attire respectfully greeted the guests as they entered.
Zhao Jixue has been to places like this countless times, but he is always awestruck every time he enters.
Su Chengguo, who had never been there before, was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
"A ten-yuan entrance fee? That's robbery!"
Su Chengguo watched as Zhao Jixue handed over twenty yuan, and he couldn't help but complain, perfectly portraying the image of a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Zhao Jixue smiled and said, "What's this? We can earn a thousand or ten thousand yuan inside with just ten yuan! The food here is so good that you can eat things you've never eaten in your life before for ten yuan. It's worth it."
Zhao Jixue recalled that he was still a little dazed when he first entered the casino. At that time, all he wanted to do was eat his fill. But after going there many times, he lost his appetite when faced with all that delicious food.
However, for someone who is new to these things, everything is an endless temptation.
Sure enough, after turning through several doors and entering the hall, Su Chengguo was stunned by the magnificent scene.
Gambling tables, countless gambling tables.
Countless ways to gamble.
The waitresses were dressed in formal attire, and the dealers were beautiful.
There are also exquisitely plated dishes surrounding the hall. Any one of those elaborate food towers would cost a lot of money to taste outside, but here, people are only interested in gambling and there are very few people around the food.
"Chengguo, those are all free food. If you're hungry, eat some first, and then I'll take you to play."
Zhao Jixue took in Su Chengguo's shocked expression and generously explained it to her.
Su Chengguo nodded blankly.
He went to eat first.
Braised pork knuckle, so tender it practically fell off the bone and trembled slightly – this was the first thing Su Chengguo ate.
It looks like it was just made recently, it's still warm.
The taste is absolutely delicious.
Then we'll eat fish and beef, whatever's expensive.
But he only has one stomach, so no matter how much he eats, he gets full quickly.
Su Chengguo asked somewhat reluctantly, "Senior, can we pack these up?"
Eating too much meat can get greasy. Who would have thought that while many people outside are starving, people here can eat until they're sick of it and can't eat anymore?
"No, but as long as you stay here for a day, you can eat as much as you want. Ten yuan a day, and so many delicacies, isn't that worth it?"
Zhao Jixue found it amusing to see Su Chengguo's naive and unworldly demeanor.
Su Chengguo nodded repeatedly: "It's totally worth it."
"Look at what they're doing over there. If you observe carefully, making money is easy. You can eat and make money at the same time. Want to play a couple of rounds?"
Zhao Jixue began to implement the plan.
Su Chengguo hesitated for a moment: "Senior, gambling isn't a good idea."
Zhao Jixue chuckled and shook his head: "Gambling is certainly bad for unlucky people, but for lucky people, this place is paradise. It doesn't matter whether we gamble or not. We're already here, so let's go take a look, digest our food, and come back to eat when we get hungry."
"Okay, we're already inside anyway."
Su Chengguo hesitated for only a moment before quickly getting the hang of it.
He followed Zhao Jixue to the gambling table to watch others play.
Hearing a group of people shouting "Big Big Big" and "Small Little Little" with bloodshot eyes, he quickly became immersed in it as well.
As the cards were revealed, some were happy while others were sad.
Zhao Jixue quickly joined in and placed a large bet.
As expected, the hand was big, and Zhao Jixue made a hundred yuan in one go.
Su Chengguo watched with envy. Although he hadn't participated yet, he was already immersed in it, shouting along, and soon his face turned red.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Su Chengguo quietly asked Zhao Jixue, "Brother, I also want to play, but I don't have any money with me. Can you lend me a hundred?"
Seeing that Su Chengguo had taken the bait, Zhao Jixue readily agreed: "No problem."
