Chapter 94 Is Xu Yu crazy?!
The gambling house was bustling with people, and gambling tables of all sizes were scattered around. The people sitting there were gambling so hard that their faces were red and their veins were bulging. The people who were watching on the side with their sleeves rolled up also had bloodshot eyes.
The pungent smell of the dry tobacco pipe, the lingering smell of alcohol, and the peculiar smell of people who had not changed their clothes for a long time mixed together and choked the nasal cavity, irritating the brain and making Xu Yu's eyebrows wrinkle silently.
There is only one gambling house in the county town, and Xu Minghui works as an accountant here.
He was sitting behind the counter when he saw Xu Yu coming in. His eyebrows jumped at first, but then he noticed Xu Yu's very subtle movements.
Xu Yu didn't want him to go there.
They don't want anyone to know they know each other.
Xu Minghui, who was about to stand up, sat back down as usual. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Yu turn around and finally sit down at the gambling table!
What on earth is Xu Yu doing here?!
Xu Minghui curled his hands in his sleeves in uncertainty. He glanced over to see that no one was paying attention to him, so he simply picked up the bill on the table and walked towards the inner hall.
In the inner hall, Uncle Xu, who had not been able to return home for a long time, was settling accounts.
He disdained to do such work, but things are different now. Once he entered the gambling house, no one would pay attention to his high-handedness.
When he first arrived, he also wanted to cheat and even run away, but Xu Minghui was a cruel man who would do anything to the end. He paid him a month's salary and sent him home. He was stopped by the thugs in the gambling house and was beaten severely.
The thugs were merciless and vicious. My bones, which were not strong to begin with, were no longer able to think of anything else after being beaten so harshly. I reluctantly settled down here.
But the resentment is always there.
He glared at Xu Minghui and said angrily, "What are you doing here, you rebellious son? You..."
"I just wanted to say that since Dad has finished the one he has on hand, he should also close this one."
Uncle Xu was immediately furious: "Don't go too far!"
"We agreed long ago that the accounts of the outer hall are yours, and I am only responsible for the inner hall. You..."
"Father."
Xu Minghui snorted softly, pressed his finger against the account book and pushed it in the direction of Second Uncle Xu, saying quietly, "Uncle Gong said that I have the final say on matters related to the account book."
"If father is unwilling to help, how about I go and invite Uncle Gong over?"
Uncle Gong is the gambling house owner's most trusted confidant and is currently the person in charge of the gambling house.
Born in the underworld, he doesn't have much experience, but he is ruthless and can control the situation and suppress people's hearts.
But this gang leader who is famous for his eccentric temper actually values the weak-looking Xu Minghui very much.
Less than two months had passed since the father and son started working in the gambling house. Uncle Xu was severely beaten and learned a lesson, but Xu Minghui relied on his own skills to become a successful man who could have a say in front of Uncle Gong.
If he really called the person over, it would definitely not be Xu Minghui who would suffer.
The moment Xu Minghui resorted to tough measures, the relationship between father and son, which was not close to begin with, was completely destroyed. Now Xu Minghui was using someone else to teach his own father a lesson, and he would not hold back.
Second Uncle Xu knew that he had fallen into Xu Minghui's trap. He was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned purple. In the end, he could only squeeze out a sentence through his teeth: "Rebellious son!"
"I should have drowned you back then! It would have saved me..."
"If I hadn't done it then, it would be too late to regret it now."
Xu Minghui smiled softly and tapped his fingers on the account book: "I'll have to trouble you, father."
"Remember to be careful and don't make any mistakes. These will all be presented to Uncle Gong for review tonight."
"you……"
Xu Minghui ignored Uncle Xu's anger and turned away. Returning to the front hall, his gaze fell calmly on Xu Yu.
Back then, Prince Xu in Kyoto was full of vigor and did whatever he wanted. He was a frequent customer in rouge and willow alleys, gambling houses, and red-light districts.
Even in this situation today, when he sits at the gambling table and picks up the dice cup, he can still vaguely see his magnanimity and generosity in spending money lavishly.
As he moved, the dice cup landed on the table, and the people around the table shouted excitedly: "Big! Bet on big!"
"Bet on small! Small!"
Xu Yu raised his thin lips and uttered a small word, then turned his wrist to reveal a large dice.
"Hahaha! Thanks, thanks!"
The gambler who was gambling with him laughed loudly, took the silver on the table and put it in front of him, spitting into his hands and saying with red eyes: "What? You've lost three times, are you still going to come?"
Xu Yu casually twirled the dice in his hand and scoffed, "Come on."
"I came here with two hundred taels of silver, and now I've lost it all. How can I not continue?"
"Why, don't you want to come?"
"Bah!"
The man slammed his hand on the table in anger and sneered, "Who are you looking down on, kid? Am I the kind of person who would leave the gambling table after winning?"
He slapped ten taels of silver on the table and said amidst the constant cheers from the surroundings, "Come on! Keep going!"
"Whoever gives in is a grandson!"
Xu Yu smiled slightly, put the dice cup on the dice, and stopped the movement after shaking it slightly.
The two players held the dice cup in both hands and shook it up and down vigorously. When Xu Yu was about to lose his patience, he finally slammed the dice cup on the table.
"Are you betting big or small?!"
Xu Yu smiled and uttered one word: "Small."
The dice cup was opened, and it was still big.
Regrets and sharp cheers echoed in the turbid air. However, Xu Yu, who was being stared at by many people, still had a relaxed smile on his face.
The gambling game begins again.
Xu Minghui watched coldly as his forehead twitched uncontrollably.
Is Xu Yu crazy?!
He took a deep breath to control himself and did not move. He watched as Xu Yu's gambling table became bigger and bigger, with more and more people placing bets. His heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
It's not right...
The excitement at the gambling table lasted for half a day, but the face of the gambler sitting opposite Xu Yu was stained with a lingering gray.
He has lost several big bets in a row.
Not only did he lose all the money he had won from Xu Yu, he couldn't even keep the capital in his pocket.
Seeing the cold sweat on his forehead constantly falling onto the table, Xu Yu turned the cheap dice cup in his hand and said lazily, "Why not just forget it?"
"Look at you, your hands are unsteady."
"You won my money and you want to leave the table?!"
The man said angrily, "There's no such thing as winning and leaving at the gambling table!"
“Tsk.”
"Why don't you know how to be kind?"
Xu Yu laughed in an ambiguous manner and said lightly, "Then let's continue. After all, the rules of the gambling table are that whoever loses all their money must leave the table and be replaced. Let's just follow the rules."
There was a lot of noise around the gambling table. Xu Minghui subconsciously tightened his voice as he looked at the people walking towards him.
"Uncle Gong."
The man called Uncle Gong had a huge scar across his face. He just stood there doing nothing, but there was an lingering strong sense of hostility between his eyebrows.
He waved his hand to signal Xu Minghui not to move, and said to the thugs behind him, "Something doesn't look right over there. Go over and see if there's anything fishy going on."
The person who was called nodded murderously, and Xu Minghui's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
There is a reason why Shunlai Casino is able to do such a big business.
Uncle Gong had set a rule that anyone who entered the gambling house was absolutely not allowed to use any tricks.
If anyone dared to break the rules at the gambling table, at the very least, his hand would be chopped off and thrown away, and at the worst, he would be beaten to death in front of everyone.
Xu Yu won so many games. If he was cheating, then...
"Minghui?"
"What are you thinking about, kid?"
Uncle Gong said with a smile, "I called you several times but you didn't respond. Are you feeling unwell? Or is your useless father torturing you again?"
Xu Minghui lowered his head and gave a wry smile, saying helplessly, "Uncle Gong is teasing me again."
"I was just thinking about what you told me the other day. I have a rough outline in mind, and I'm just wondering when I can find the time to draft it and bring it over to you for your review."
Uncle Gong was even more satisfied after hearing this: "I told you that you are different from other reckless men. It's no wonder that I value you so much!"
"No rush, we can talk about that in a few days. I want you to do something else now. You..."
"Uncle Gong."
"uh-huh?"
Uncle Gong turned his head to glance at the table with the most noise and said subtly, "No problem?"
