After Hua Qingcheng and the others left, the gamblers became more confident in looting and smashing the money and items in the casino, and the situation was out of control for a while.
The thugs in the gambling house had been drugged by Han Yichen and had lost their ability to fight. It was difficult for them to protect themselves, let alone suppress the crazy crowd. Even Yuan Qiu was beaten with bruises on his face and pain all over his body.
The farce at the Sihai Casino continued until midnight. The gamblers who were looting and smashing the casino fled in all directions when they saw the yamen runners coming with swords.
"Miss Yuan, what are you doing..."
Lin Mu, the head constable of Fufeng County, servilely helped Yuan Qiu up after she was knocked to the ground by the gamblers.
After receiving word from the gambling house that someone was causing trouble, Lin Mu immediately rushed over with her men. However, when she arrived, she was deeply shocked by the scene before her.
The original rosewood, gold-painted sign of the Sihai Casino had been reduced to a pile of broken wood. Entering the casino, it was in a state of chaos, with gamblers looting, smashing things, and beating people up, creating a chaotic scene.
"Humph! How ridiculous! If I knew who they were, I would make them pay!"
Yuan Qiu gets angry whenever she thinks of the woman wearing the gold-plated butterfly eye mask. It's so weird.
"Captain Lin, you must catch those two thieves as soon as possible!"
"Miss Yuan, please rest assured. We will do our best. There was a problem at the martial arts gym today. Miss Yuan, you should go back and take a look as soon as possible."
"Martial arts school? What could possibly happen in a martial arts school?"
Puzzled, Yuan Qiu had a servant drive her back to the Yuan Family Martial Arts School in a carriage. Not only had she been assaulted by the casino's thugs, but she had also been assaulted by the gamblers. She was in so much pain that she couldn't ride a horse.
"What... is going on?"
When Yuan Qiu returned to the Yuan family martial arts gym, she saw that the large rosewood and gold-painted sign on her door had disappeared, and she couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
"mother!"
Yuan Qiu crossed the martial arts hall in the front yard and returned to the backyard. As soon as she entered the flower hall, she saw her mother, who was strong and sturdy, with bruises on her face. Her husband was rubbing her arms with bruise wine.
"Mom, are you... injured?"
Yuan Qiu was shocked. As far as she knew, she had never seen anyone in Fufeng County who could defeat her mother, Yuan Ba.
"Bang!"
Seeing that his daughter finally came back, and she came back in such a mess with bruises on her face, Yuanba was furious and slapped Yuan Qiu hard with his hand.
"Mom, what are you doing?!"
The sudden slap made Yuan Qiu jump up and down. She was already unlucky enough today, but she didn't expect to be beaten by her mother when she returned home.
"What are you talking about?"
Yuan Ba, who is 1.9 meters tall and very strong, stood in front of Yuan Qiu. Yuan Qiu immediately felt a sense of oppression.
"Where did you get those two people, a woman and a man wearing butterfly eye patches? They even showed up to challenge us this afternoon and smashed our signboard."
Yuanba was furious at the thought. She had lived forty-two years, and this was the first time she had been in such a state of disgrace.
"A woman and a man wearing butterfly eye patches? Are they here to cause trouble at the martial arts gym too?"
"To be honest, Sihai Casino was also busted tonight by a man and a woman wearing butterfly eye masks."
"Do you know who they are, mother?"
Yuan Qiu never expected that the two men would be so arrogant. They first came to her house to challenge her, and then went to the gambling house to cause trouble.
"Humph! It's all your fault. Did you bring people to the Jinghuayuan snack bar on Caiyun Street to cause trouble?"
Yuanba recalled the icy gaze of the eyepatch-wearing woman, a chilling feeling that felt like falling into an icy cellar. She had never seen such a murderous, sharp gaze before; it gave her the eerie feeling of being watched by the god of death.
"But... Mother, as far as I know, the owner of this newly opened store is just a peasant girl from Huaqiao Village in Baishui Town next door. She's nothing to be afraid of."
Yuan Qiu was also bewildered. She had always been a braggart in Yunshui Town, but she had never encountered such troublemakers as the people at Jinghuayuan Snacks. Furthermore, they actually had backers. This was a huge slap in her face.
"Hmph, what did I teach you? Never act rashly before you know the other party's background."
"It's true that the owner of that shop is a peasant girl, but she actually has a connection with the Golden Butterfly and even got him to stand up for her. This is not simple."
"You should behave yourself for the time being and don't provoke them. Your cousin's husband's brother's daughter, Xiahou Yu, the daughter of General Xiahou Jing of Pingxi, will be visiting Fufeng County soon. When she does, you can take her to Jinghuayuan Snack Shop..."
"I understand, mother."
Yuan Qiu looked towards Caiyun Street dimly, a murderous glint gleaming in her eyes...
In the pitch-black night, not even a hint of moonlight remained. Most of the houses in Yunshui Town had turned off their lights and gone to sleep. Aside from the glow of lanterns emanating from the doorways of the shops, the entire street was dark and deserted.
Because it had just been smashed and looted in the evening, the Sihai Casino, which used to be open all night, had to close for a rest tonight.
At midnight, a group of fully armed masked men in black climbed up and down the streets and quietly arrived at the Sihai Casino in Yunshui Town.
After knocking down the two gatekeepers, Yingyi had their clothes stripped off and thrown into the street.
Then, he and other secret guards went into the gambling house to check carefully. After searching repeatedly and confirming that there was no one there, they immediately poured a bucket of colorless and odorless liquid around the entire Sihai Casino.
