Jiangcheng Bar Street is located between the old and new urban areas, and the buildings on both sides of the street are also very distinctive.
On one side are dilapidated houses with homeless people and cheaply dressed young women often standing in front of the doors, while on the other side are bright and clean, magnificent clubs and bars.
Although the shops on both sides are the same, they are like two separate worlds because of the different consumer groups and levels.
Perhaps the rich also enjoy this sense of vanity, so the bar street is becoming increasingly prosperous and has become a unique landscape in Jiangcheng.
When Xie Chenan drove over and parked his expensive sports car at the intersection, a security guard immediately came forward and opened the entrance to the new district's bar street.
Young Master Xie Jiu lowered the car window and said, "Not this way, open that way."
Hearing this, the security guard was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly reacted and lowered his voice and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, young master? This is not a good place."
Because the gap between the rich and the poor in Bar Street is so huge, there was once an incident where the poor in the old district rushed across the green belt to attack the rich. Therefore, not only are there explosion-proof glass on both sides, but there are also checkpoints at the entrance, and different blocks are opened to different groups of people.
Xie Chenan was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more furious after being questioned. He was about to blurt out "It's none of your business".
But the girl beside him suddenly spoke.
"We came here to visit a friend. He was playing in the casino and asked us to come and play a few rounds."
She softened her voice intentionally and sat in the shade, looking like a delicate and frail girl.
A rich young man who can afford a sports car takes a young girl to the casino, wanting to show off his wealth.
The security guard immediately relaxed his guard and put on a smile again, "Okay, have fun then."
After saying this, he pressed the button and raised the command pole to release the vehicle.
Xie Chenan stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed in, spraying the other person's face with exhaust gas.
The security guard coughed several times, turned his head and spat viciously on the ground, "Bah, you're showing off now, you'll be in trouble later."
After cursing, he deleted the part of the surveillance video where the sports car entered.
"Is there something wrong with that security guard just now?"
After the sports car had gone some distance, Xie Chenan turned his head and asked Ye Lan who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Well, he must have been bribed, otherwise the rich kid's visit there wouldn't go unnoticed." Ye Lan leaned on his arm and looked out the window, observing the dilapidated buildings in the old district and the people wandering the streets with empty eyes. After a moment, he glanced back at the boy and smiled slightly, "It's rare that you noticed."
She still remembered the last time she went to the He family, this man rushed around recklessly and almost died inside.
Xie Chenan also thought of that incident, his face flushed, and he muttered: "People always grow up, I won't be so impulsive in the future."
Ye Lan remained noncommittal and pointed to one of the houses, "They're inside."
Xie Chenan actually wanted to ask Ye Lan why he knew so much since it was his first time here. This kind of inexplicable predictive ability had appeared more than once.
But remembering her even more mysterious identity as an ancient warrior, he didn't ask any more questions. After pulling over, he got out of the car with Ye Lan and walked over.
As soon as the two of them reached the door, someone came out and scanned them from head to toe with a sharp gaze before saying, "What's going on? This place isn't open yet."
Xie Chenan frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
At this time, the invisible A Yue floated out of the casino and whispered a few words to Ye Lan.
Ye Lan knew the situation, and his eyes turned cold. He lowered his eyes but pretended to be weak and said, "It was Master Luo who asked us to come here yesterday. Master Xie is free today."
The man paused after hearing this and asked, "Are you friends of the young master of the Luo family?"
"Yeah." Ye Lan nodded lightly, looking a little obedient.
The man immediately changed his expression and said cheerfully, "You've found the right place. Come in with me. It's a lively place inside."
After saying that, he took the initiative to open the door and welcome the two of them.
Ye Lan gave Xie Chenan a look, and the latter understood. He put his hands in his pockets and acted like a rich young master, then followed him in.
There was nothing in the bungalow. After passing through the living room, there was an entrance to a cellar. Entering it was a noisy basement with a large area. It was crowded with people and the interior decoration was no worse than that of a high-end private club in the new district.
"Go ahead, play again, don't be a coward!"
Someone at the busiest table in the front was shouting loudly, and it didn't sound very friendly.
After a while, a familiar female voice was heard.
"We're not gambling anymore, Luo Junpeng, let's go home! Stand up!"
"Ye Lan, it's Holly."
Ah Yue, who stuck close to the girl and didn't dare to touch a living person, reminded her softly.
Ye Lan and Xie Chenan both heard it.
However, before the two men could get over, the crowd suddenly dispersed, and with a loud bang, a tall man was thrown out, and immediately a foot stepped on his chest.
"What's wrong? Mr. Luo doesn't know the rules? You want to stay when you win money, and you want to leave when you lose money. This is not the rule of this casino." The thug who was watching the place grinned and smiled at him viciously.
After that, several other people came out, pushing Holly and other students from Class F.
"What do you think, Mr. Luo, do you want to continue gambling? If not, all your friends will have to be guests here today." The man hinted at something.
"You guys..." Luo Junpeng's face flushed red, and he only realized at this moment that he had been set up. But seeing that his classmates had been arrested, he could only bite the bullet and nod, "You let them go first, I will continue."
"Hey, Master Luo is quite a clever fellow. It's alright, let your classmates have a good rest while we continue playing." The man scoffed, grabbed him by the collar, stood up, and pushed him back to the gambling table. He said sinisterly, "You've already lost all your money. If you want to place a bet now, why not borrow some from us first? The procedure is very convenient."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was written a loan of one million.
When Luo Junpeng saw the amount, his hands trembled and he didn't dare to sign.
It was obvious that this was prepared in advance. Although one million is not a lot, the interest compounded may be enough to lose the entire Luo family in the end.
But now he is like a fish on the chopping board, and there is no room for him to resist.
"If you don't sign, your female classmate's fingers will be in danger." He pointed at Holly, and someone immediately took out a knife and pretended to attack.
"No! No!" Luo Junpeng was so scared that he quickly stood up and shouted, "I sign!"
Then his shoulders were pushed back and a pen was stuffed into his hand.
For the first time in his life, Luo Junpeng was so afraid to write his own name, but the arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to write on the IOU with trembling hands.
However, as soon as the brush touched the paper, a hand pressed down on his shoulder, stopping his movement.
A familiar voice came from above my head.
"My friend, I'm Luo Junpeng's buddy. I came here specially with some money. I don't need your money for the time being."
