Guo Qingyun woke up slowly and saw Lin Xiaoxiao in the crowd as soon as he opened his eyes.
In an instant, his eyes widened.
Thinking I was seeing things, I blinked a few times.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Xiaoxiao was still there, and he was so excited that tears were about to stream down his face.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked over and saw that he looked disheveled. She asked the people next to her, "Did you beat him up?"
The henchman shook his head. "That's how it's sent over from above."
They wouldn't dare resort to vigilante justice.
Lin Xiaoxiao said disdainfully, "What's a grown man like you crying for?"
Guo Qingyun, who was bursting into tears: "..."
She sniffed hard, trying to hold back her tears.
His pathetic state made his henchmen laugh at him.
"This guy is just a coward who's afraid of dying. I don't know why the higher-ups arrested him."
"Oh, you guys didn't see it. The other day, when that bearded guy came over, this kid was so scared he fainted."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled twice, catching the words "big beard" in everyone's conversation.
The dealer then shouted again, "Place your bets! Place your bets!"
Lin Xiaoxiao lost the last game, and she didn't look too good.
The others continued to urge, "One more round? What if we win?"
Lin Xiaoxiao, with a sullen face, pulled out another wad of money from her pocket and slammed it on the table. "I refuse to believe I can't win today."
Everyone was overjoyed.
Those who had been observing began to participate, clamoring, "Come on, come on..."
Lin Xiaoxiao lost two more rounds, and as if taking her anger out on others, she said unhappily, "Why didn't the boss mention that Big Beard came to the warehouse? Did he come secretly? He's got some nerve."
Others didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.
"The boss wants to make a fortune through them, so he'll naturally pretend he doesn't know anything about this little thing."
"Besides, this man was originally captured by Big Beard; we're just keeping an eye on him."
"I think the bearded man was trying to pry something out of this kid, but he didn't expect him to be such a coward, hahaha."
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to think they made sense and nodded, "That's true, we can't afford to offend them for now."
Others talked about getting rich.
They all looked at the stack of banknotes in front of Lin Xiaoxiao without prior arrangement.
Whether the boss has made a fortune or not, they don't know; but they're definitely going to make a fortune today.
A slight smile curved the corners of Lin Xiaoxiao's lips.
In the following period, she seemed to have a cheat code, winning every game.
In just half an hour, they won back all the money they had lost, plus everything that everyone else had won.
The group, having lost everything, were devastated.
"Again..."
"I refuse to believe it..."
Lin Xiaoxiao was happy to play with them, so she deliberately lost a few rounds, letting one of the burly-looking henchmen win one after another.
The henchman was overjoyed, exclaiming that the God of Gamblers had blessed him.
Lin Xiaoxiao controlled herself to win one game and lose one game, neither winning nor losing.
The others, on the other hand, lost again and again, their eyes turning red with anger.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao added, "It's impossible for him to cheat, right?"
Cheating?
The moment those three words were uttered, the tense atmosphere on the scene instantly ignited, like flour meeting fire, exploding with a 'bang'.
The man, his eyes bloodshot from losing, turned his head like a stiff corpse, looking at the henchman who was still gloating after winning.
"You cheated, you bastard!" the crowd demanded.
The henchman sensed something was wrong and quickly stuffed the money into his pocket. "Don't accuse me of cheating! When did I ever cheat?"
He was just lucky.
Everyone else lost, but he won. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on.
With things having developed to this point, no one bothered to investigate the reason; all they could think about was that he had cheated.
"Give me back my money."
"Yes, you cheated, it doesn't count."
The man was also unwilling to give up, saying, "Why should I return the money to you? I won this through my own skills."
Luck is also a form of ability.
To everyone else, these words sounded like he was showing off.
He was showing off his cheating skills.
How can anyone tolerate this?
"If you don't pay me back, I'll just rob you! Everyone, attack together! This bastard isn't behaving himself; we have to get the money we've lost back."
One person took the lead and charged forward, and the others, no longer caring about anything else, swarmed in.
The man never expected his brothers to be so unscrupulous; after losing, they accused him of cheating and even conspired to rob him.
I got angry.
A fist the size of a sandbag slammed into the stomach of the person in front of him, causing the person to curl up like a shrimp.
After hitting someone, he didn't forget to explain, "I already said I didn't cheat, are you idiots?"
The others just thought he was spouting nonsense. "You're the real idiot. With all the scum you've done, you're no good either."
"Yes, take out the money."
That henchman had never won so much money at the gambling table before; it was much more lucrative than extorting protection money from the elderly.
If he does this twice more, he'll be able to buy a house.
He couldn't bear to spend all of that money.
He gritted his teeth, his muscles bulging, and said, "You think you can take the money out of my pocket? Dream on."
"Then there's nothing more to say, brothers, let's go."
The henchmen were locked in a fierce battle, inseparable.
Lin Xiaoxiao tried to mediate the fight from the sidelines.
The more they tried to persuade them, the angrier they became, and they fought until they were bloodthirsty.
Ke Run was a clever boy. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he immediately rushed to Guo Qingyun, untied him, and quietly slipped away with his men.
A few minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao also came out.
