When those people saw how thin and frail she was, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Are you not afraid of getting your tongue bitten by the wind when you say that?" A man walked up to Shang Ruoyi, raised his hand and hit her in the face: "Today I will let you know what it means to be careful with your words and actions!"
As he spoke, his hand was about to hit Shang Ruoyi in the face.
The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim, lamenting that such a handsome face was about to be broken. Shang Ruoyi slowly stretched out her hands and grabbed the man's arm.
No matter how the man struggled, the hand was held tightly and could not be moved at all.
At this moment, Shang Ruoyi's hands slowly moved forward, and she saw the man's face was as red as pig liver, and a wailing sound came out of his mouth: "Ah! It hurts, it hurts!"
Shang Ruoyi's face changed, but the tightness in her hand didn't decrease at all. The man felt that if he continued to be held like this, his hand would be broken.
When the others saw this, they rushed over to help, but before they could get close, Ah Cheng stepped forward quickly and stopped them. Compared with these burly men, Ah Cheng was indeed thin, but these men were all fat and strong, and although they looked strong, they were actually skinny. Ah Cheng flew up and kicked the men to the ground in three or four kicks.
For a moment, the whole street fell silent, and the sound of several men crying out in pain could be heard.
“Young Master, Young Master, Hero!” The man who was held in Shang Ruoyi’s hand was about to cry out in pain: “Ancestor! Please have mercy on us and let us go! We will never dare to do it again!”
Shang Ruoyi sneered: "You bully the weak and fear the strong, and look down on others. I hate people like you the most."
At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward, bowed to Shang Ruoyi and said, "Sir, I am Qian Jinnian, the owner of Tianyun Casino."
Shang Ruoyi turned around and glanced at him calmly: "I wonder what can I do for you, Shopkeeper Qian?"
Qian Jinnian smiled and said, "I don't know how these useless guys under my command offended you, sir? You can tell me, I will definitely punish them severely!"
"So it's Manager Qian's men." Shang Ruoyi smiled and his men walked over. There was a sound of "crack", and the man's wrist was broken, and his screams echoed in the street.
Shang Ruoyi finally let go of her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "It's not a big deal, it's just that these people don't know the rules, and what they said is really unpleasant."
"My subordinates don't know the rules. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Shopkeeper Qian's face changed. He bowed and said, "Our boss admires you very much. We would like to invite you to come over and have a chat. By the way, there is an acquaintance who may be of interest to you."
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows. An acquaintance? When did she have any acquaintances in this Western Region?
At this time, Ah Cheng walked up to her and whispered, "Sir, this Tianyun Casino is the most famous casino in the entire Western Region. It is said that the owner is very mysterious."
So that's why. No wonder the owner of a gambling house seems to be so cunning.
"In that case, please lead the way, Manager Qian."
"please."
The man lying on the bed looked at her leaving with a face full of resentment, a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. Once you enter their gambling house, don't expect to come out safely.
Shang Ruoyi came to the most prosperous street and stood in front of a luxurious building.
A huge plaque "Tianyun Casino" was hung on it.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the plaque and said with a smile: "Your boss is really willing to spend money. I see that the plaque is made of gold."
"Sir, you have good eyes." Shopkeeper Qian made a gesture of invitation: "Sir, please come in."
Shang Ruoyi walked into the casino and saw that the huge hall was full of people, surrounding hundreds of gambling tables, with red faces.
Sometimes there were laughs of winning, and sometimes there were curses, which definitely meant losing.
Just looking at such a scene will make people's blood boil, and they can't wait to try it out.
"Sir, do you know how to gamble?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and smiled: "My father is very strict, and anyone who gambles will be punished."
The two of them came to the third floor, and Shopkeeper Qian took her to a door and whispered, "Sir, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he walked into the room.
After a while, Shopkeeper Qian came out and said with a smile, "Young Master, please come in." After that, she stretched out her hand to stop the three people standing behind her and said, "Young Master, please wait outside with your guards."
"But······"
"No problem." Shang Ruoyi smiled: "The owner of this casino invited me here in public, so there should be no ill intentions."
Shang Ruoyi followed Manager Qian into the room. Unlike the noise outside, the shouting disappeared the moment they walked in.
The room was lit with a faint scent of sandalwood. In the room, several dancers were dancing gracefully, and on the high platform, a middle-aged man wearing half a mask was drinking.
When he saw Shang Ruoyi coming in, his expression didn't change at all, he just said calmly: "You are the one who hurt my people?"
“Yes.”
"You are so straightforward." The man sat up straight, waved his hand, and the dancers retreated.
"I wonder why you have come to me?"
The man smiled and said, "You beat my people in public, which means you don't take our casino seriously. Tell me, why did I call you here?"
"I see." She looked around, found a chair and sat down, saying nonchalantly, "I didn't expect that the owner of such a gambling house would be such a narrow-minded person. I overestimated you."
"Haha, it's just a joke, why should you take it seriously?" He smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all: "I wonder if you know how to gamble?"
"My father is very strict and doesn't allow me to get involved in anything."
"Haha, take the dice." He whispered, "Only people who are good at gambling would say that."
Shang Ruoyi just smiled and said nothing. She indeed did not like gambling and had never been involved in it, but this did not affect her ability to master superb gambling skills.
Soon, the servant brought two sets of dice.
The man made a gesture of invitation and let Shang Ruoyi choose first.
"What do you mean, sir?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly.
"Young Master, you hurt my people, which is like slapping me in the face in public. I, Lu Mingzhou, am also a well-known figure in the Western Regions, and I have to maintain my reputation. If you beat me today, our grudge will be written off, and I will give you all the profits from our gambling house today. But if you lose, your friend's life will belong to me."
friend?
Shang Ruoyi was stunned. Where did her friend come from?
At this time, Ling Feng was tied up and pushed in by several men.
Shang Ruoyi frowned, why is it him?
"If you lose, I will take his life."
