The side quest to find the dog at the casino is just a C-rank quest; it couldn't possibly be this complicated.
Could it be that someone is secretly plotting something?
Seeing Xia Baizhi stop what he was doing, the casino owner coughed impatiently and urged again, "How's your decision? You don't have much time left to dawdle."
After a moment's thought, Xia Baizhi replied, "Okay, give me some time. I'll call someone over now, and we can discuss it in detail then."
After saying that, she quickly swiped to open the chat interface.
The only solution is to ask Xiang Nan to step in. With her abilities, she's sure to come up with a solution...
Not long after, Yu Xiangnan, wearing an invisibility cloak (second form), arrived at the casino.
Besides Xia Baizhi, who was surrounded by a group of fierce-looking bodyguards, there was also Wu Shu leaning against the wall, drinking (pretending to be drunk).
A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Xiangnan's dark eyes.
Wu Shu placed his wine glass on the gambling table beside him, crossed his arms, and wore a mocking smile on his face. His gaze went straight past Xia Baizhi and he said to Yu Xiangnan, "Long time no see. I really didn't expect her to actually call you here. Cheating and stealing, aren't you ashamed?"
"Are you sick?" Xia Baizhi rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
Yu Xiangnan frowned, glanced coldly at Wu Shu, ignored his provocation, and walked straight toward the casino owner.
The casino owner was about to explode, but upon closer inspection and recognizing Yu Xiangnan, he immediately stood up, put on a fawning expression, and said, bowing and scraping, "Oh, it's Mr. Yu! You're a distinguished guest of our casino. What brings you here?"
Wu Shu: "?!"
Xia Baizhi: "?!"
Mr. Yu?
The casino owner is named Yu Xiangnan, Boss Yu?
Yu Xiangnan was also taken aback when he saw the casino owner's head almost completely filled with hearts.
She had done a side quest before and came to the casino. It seems that things got a bit out of hand back then, and she didn't expect that the casino owner would still remember her.
Another possibility is that the [Affection Necklace] has taken effect.
Noticing that everyone's eyes were focused on him like searchlights, Yu Xiangnan twitched the corners of his mouth, looked up at the casino owner, and asked with a hint of doubt in his voice, "Boss, what's going on?"
The casino owner quickly recounted what had happened.
Seeing that the casino owner was exaggerating, Xia Baizhi explained the whole story to Yu Xiangnan again.
Yu Xiangnan roughly understood what was going on and turned to question the casino owner: "Reported? Who reported that my friend cheated and stole?"
The casino owner gave a fawning smile and shook his head awkwardly: "Mr. Yu, we don't know either... It was an anonymous letter. After receiving it, we checked the surveillance footage and found that the girl had stolen it."
Xia Bai choked.
"I really didn't. I just came here to look for my dog. Are you sure you haven't mistaken him for someone else? Is it just someone who looks like him?"
The casino owner shook his head firmly, "No, it's impossible to mistake them. Not only are their appearances identical, but their clothes are exactly the same too."
Xia Baizhi: "Where are the security cameras? I want to see the security footage."
The casino owner glanced at Yu Xiangnan again, and reluctantly agreed, quickly taking the two of them to see the surveillance footage.
The footage clearly shows Xia Baizhi skillfully cheating at the card table, and taking advantage of the casino bodyguards' inattention, he secretly converts the casino's special silver chip props into cards and puts them into his card album.
Seeing this, Xia Baizhi was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.
What's going on? The person on the surveillance footage really looks exactly like me?
Yu Xiangnan's eyes were also filled with doubt. She knew Xia Baizhi's character well and knew that he would never do such a thing.
Moreover, even if Xiaobai really took it, she would definitely jump onto the table, put her hands on her hips, and shout, "So what? I took it! If you don't like it, take it back!"
Xia Baizhi stared at the surveillance footage several times, then suddenly clapped his hands and said with certainty, "Wait, someone must be impersonating me on purpose!"
Yu Xiang said, "Yes, just as I thought. This matter is very strange. Have you offended anyone recently?"
When asked this, Xia Baizhi coughed awkwardly twice, "Well, it seems there are quite a lot..."
Yu Xiangnan had no choice but to continue watching the surveillance footage, carefully examining the continuously scrolling images and not missing a single detail.
"stop!"
She suddenly shouted, pointing to a slightly blurry figure on the screen, and said in a deep voice, "Bai Zhi, look, something's wrong with this person!"
In the video, the ring on the person's hand is particularly eye-catching; under the reflection of the light, the dazzling light seems to break through the screen.
“This ring is too conspicuous, but you don’t wear a ring on your hand, and you don’t usually do that.” Yu Xiangnan’s voice was deep and confident. “Moreover, this person’s every move shows that he is a veteran who has been in the casino for many years, completely different from you.”
Xia Baizhi nodded slightly, his eyes sharp. "Xiang Nan, you're right, someone is impersonating me!"
At this moment, one of the bodyguards, who had been standing silently in the corner, seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly spoke up: "I've seen this ring before, but it belonged to a gentleman..."
Yu Xiangnan and Xia Baizhi turned around almost simultaneously, their gazes piercing the bodyguard like knives.
Yu Xiangnan asked, "Do you know where he is now?"
"We were just near table number 14 in Zone 2."
“Take us to him.”
The three men turned and strode out of the monitoring room. The casino owner stood there, stunned, for a long time before he came to his senses and stammered, "Wait, wait..."
However, his shouts seemed to sink without a trace, failing to stop the three who had already rushed out.
Gambling table number 11 in section two of the casino.
Smoke swirled around.
The gamblers' eyes were bloodshot with greed and excitement. Chips were pushed around on the table, and the sounds of dice rolling and shouts blended into a cacophony.
Suddenly, a dagger flashed and silently pressed against a man's neck.
The coolness of the metal instantly penetrated his skin, causing the man to stiffen.
Amid the gasps of surprise, Yu Xiangnan, with a seemingly gentle yet sharp smile on his face, spoke slowly and deliberately: "Everyone, I'm truly sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."
Then, she tilted her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the man whose neck was held to the throat by a dagger. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, but the upward curve of her lips remained unchanged: "However, your ring is really too special. I am very interested in it and would like to have a good talk with you about it."
The man's face turned deathly pale instantly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, the surrounding gamblers retreated in fear. The once bustling gambling table was now completely silent. Everyone was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that they dared not even breathe, their eyes shifting back and forth between Yu Xiangnan and the man.
