Chapter 361 Setting a Trap
"Okay, deal!" the man agreed without hesitation.
Seeing how readily he agreed, Bai Zhuwei's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint. She then whispered her plan.
Upon hearing this, the man raised an eyebrow and suddenly scoffed, "What did that person do to offend you? Why are you so determined to wipe him out?"
Once someone gets involved in high-interest loans and the interest keeps piling up, their life is ruined, especially if it's something deliberately calculated. The man couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Just do as I say. Asking around won't do you any good."
Bai Zhuwei's eyes narrowed slightly as she replied in a cold voice, her words carrying a hint of warning.
He hung up the phone immediately after speaking. The man listened to the busy tone on the other end, his eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in them.
Seeing his displeasure, his subordinates quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what's wrong?"
The man lowered his gaze slightly, then gave his instructions in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the subordinate nodded slightly, then turned and walked outside to make arrangements.
On the other hand, Lu Ziyi has been in high spirits lately and is particularly generous, frequently treating his employees to meals at upscale restaurants.
Although he is usually aloof and particularly annoying, he would rather take advantage of any free food offered to him.
A group of people surrounded him, and Lu Ziyi felt a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
Only his coworker, who knew he hadn't been well-off before, couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Why are you suddenly being so generous?"
Lu Ziyi raised an eyebrow, a hint of arrogance flashing across his face: "It's nothing, a friend recently helped me make a big deal!"
"A deal? What kind of deal?" A hint of suspicion flashed across the man's face, and he pressed for details.
Lu Ziyi was displeased by his repeated questioning. A hint of wariness flashed across his face as he coldly replied, "Old Li, why are you asking these questions?"
His tone was full of suspicion. Seeing his serious expression, as if he was afraid that he would go in and get a share of the pie, the man called Old Li sighed helplessly: "What are you talking about? I was just asking casually, worried that you might go astray."
He wasn't as arrogant as Lu Ziyi; he was already quite content with having a stable job at the hospital.
"Old Li, what are you saying?" Someone nearby overheard their conversation and quickly spoke up to speak well of Lu Ziyi.
They showered him with compliments, saying things like "young and promising" and "now he's just a tiger fallen into the plains."
Lu Ziyi's vanity grew even stronger, and then he turned around and started exchanging pleasantries with them again.
Seeing the scene before him, Old Li knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he sighed helplessly and started eating his food without saying another word.
Just then, a message suddenly came through on Lu Ziyi's phone. After glancing at it, a look of joy flashed across his face. He then called out, "Everyone, I have something to do. Please enjoy your meal. I've already paid the bill."
As he spoke, he stood up, and everyone quickly expressed their gratitude.
After leaving the house, Lu Ziyi hailed a taxi and headed straight for his destination.
After turning left and right, Lu Ziyi arrived at the entrance of an alley. He waved his hand, pulled out a few hundred-yuan bills, handed them to himself, and walked inside.
The driver was overjoyed to have such a big order, but fearing the driver might back out, he sped away.
Lu Ziyi walked inside and saw that the two underground floors of the residential building were actually a huge casino. As soon as he entered, he was filled with smoke and noise, and people were placing bets.
Upon seeing the newcomer, one of the men stopped what he was doing and hurried over to greet him. Lu Ziyi smiled at him, nodded slightly, and called out softly, "Brother Guo."
The man nodded, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "You're here!"
"I'm on a winning streak right now, wanna play a couple of rounds?"
“Okay.” Lu Ziyi agreed without hesitation.
The man led him to the card table, handed him the tokens, and, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, casually said, "Go ahead and play."
Lu Ziyi knew these things represented money and was hesitant to make a move, but the man didn't care at all: "What are you afraid of? I'll cover the losses if you lose, let's play!"
Seeing his magnanimity, Lu Ziyi stopped being coy and nodded slightly, replying in a low voice, "Then I'll give it a try..."
As he spoke, he walked to the cards and began betting on big or small.
The reason he's been making money so quickly lately is precisely because he met this so-called "Brother Guo".
The two hit it off immediately, both harboring immense malice towards Si Yanxiao. Furthermore, Si Yanxiao desperately needed money to turn his life around, and the other man even threatened to hold him responsible for any loss.
After some back and forth, Lu Ziyi decided to take a gamble and give it a try.
Unexpectedly, he won ten out of ten times and lost one. In comparison, this brought him a lot of unexpected wealth, and he became more and more addicted.
The man walked into the shadows, tilted his head, and coldly watched Lu Ziyi's performance at the card table. His eyes were slightly cold, and a hint of disdain flashed across his face.
Lu Ziyi, who had initially feigned composure and caution, gradually became reckless. After making a few big profits, instead of taking profits, he pushed all his tokens out and said, "I'm betting everything!"
A gasp of surprise rang out nearby. Just then, a henchman-like figure walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what should we do?"
Guo's eyes turned cold. He casually tossed the cigarette on the ground, slowly extinguished it with his foot, and replied in a cold voice, "Proceed according to the original plan."
"Yes." The subordinate nodded slightly and walked towards the referee's table. He accidentally bumped into the referee, whose eyes narrowed and he understood instantly.
A group of people stared intently at the cards, including Lu Ziyi, who was extremely lucky today. He not only bet all of Guo Ge's cards but also mortgaged them and borrowed a lot more tokens, all in the hope of turning his fortunes around with this one card.
A group of people nearby were loudly guessing the size of the object.
Lu Ziyi gradually got carried away, going from initial murmurs to now shouting out loud: "Small! Small! Small!"
As the referee slowly opened the dice cup, the numbers four, five, and six on top revealed a "big" result...
Seeing this scene, Lu Ziyi stared intently at the dice, a flash of annoyance crossing his face. He looked around at the people beside him, his expression one of astonishment: "How... how could this be?!"
A hint of helplessness flashed across his face, then his eyes flashed, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He quickly turned to look at the referee with a serious expression, pointed his finger, and shouted angrily, "You must be the ones who are playing tricks!"
"How could it be big! It's clearly small! You must have tampered with it in secret."
The referee listened to his accusations with displeasure and replied coldly, "Sir, you must speak with evidence. False accusations are no small matter."
"How could I be framing you! I haven't lost a single time since I came in, so how could I possibly lose right when I staked all my tokens?! What else could it be but manipulation by you?"
His expression was cold as he spoke, his tone full of accusation.
This is all he has left, and he even mortgaged his only house. If he were to accept this fact, it would mean he would be bankrupt.
When the referee saw him raise a question, the corner of his lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly sneered: "You said it yourself, you haven't lost a single time since you came in. Do you really think you're a gambling god? Or do you have X-ray vision so you can see the numbers under the dice cup?"
"Winning and losing are normal in casinos. Ask anyone here, who wins all the time?"
"To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is purely based on luck. If we were to rig things, we would have been reported long ago!"
Those nearby nodded in agreement upon hearing the referee's words, and then chimed in, "Exactly! This kind of thing is just for fun."
"Yeah, I lost millions in one go a couple of days ago, and I haven't even said anything yet."
Amidst the clamor of voices, the referee chimed in, "You think you can only win and never lose? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"Then why did this happen precisely when I had placed all my bets?!" Lu Ziyi demanded sharply, his face filled with coldness.
"How should I know?" The referee frowned, his face showing displeasure, and then coldly replied, "Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Isn't it because you want to decide the outcome in one game and gamble everything to make a bigger profit?"
"This is entirely up to you; I can't control how much you bet."
