The casino is doing so well these days, making money so fast, that it's arousing jealousy.
Ye Jiu occasionally works as a security guard at casinos, dealing with debtors, troublemakers, and those who disrupt the business, and maintaining order.
After a moment's thought, Yun Jia said, "Let's hold back for now, close up shop early tonight, and avoid the limelight."
There are other casinos in the capital besides theirs. Most of the other casinos have powerful backers and officials protecting them. Since they have no power or influence, they naturally need to avoid trouble as soon as possible.
