“That’s a man’s paradise, what business does a young lady like you have there?”

Zhu Xiangxiang felt uncomfortable from the gaze, furrowed her brows, and said coldly, “Looking for someone.”

“Oh, your boyfriend? Let me tell you, if it’s your boyfriend, you can dump him early. It’s fine to have fun, but if he’s addicted to it, many people lose everything overnight. Such men are not reliable.”

Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t make a sound because she thought what the other person said was true.

She never expected that Zhu Shaodan would become obsessed with gambling. It was absurd.

“Let me tell you, last year, I had a classmate from elementary school who lost his wife’s money in Bojinlai Casino. He lost everything, even his underwear, and still owed the casino a huge amount of high-interest loans. The interest rates were astronomical. His wife couldn’t take it, divorced him, remarried with their son, and the debt collectors would threaten to chop off one of his fingers for every day without repayment. Tsk tsk… In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and committed suicide by jumping off a building. That was horrible. That’s why you should never get involved in gambling, drugs, and such; once you’re involved, you’re done for.”

Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, “How dare they force someone to die in broad daylight? Isn’t there any law?”

The driver laughed, “Little girl, you’re too naive. Do you know who the boss behind Bojinlai Casino is? If you knew, you wouldn’t be saying such naive things.”

Zhu Xiangxiang really didn’t know; this was a realm she had never been exposed to before.

She asked subconsciously, “Who is it?”

“Master Xiao of the Qinglong Association, have you heard of him?”

Master Xiao?

Zhu Xiangxiang thought of the young man she saw on the night of Elder Theodore Shelby’s birthday banquet, a gentle and handsome gentleman who was nothing like the ruthless and cold kingpin described in the rumors.

Because of this contradiction, the man became even more mysterious and alluring to her. The man’s image floated into Zhu Xiangxiang’s mind.

After all this time, she still clearly remembered the man’s eyebrows, eyes, and smile.

Her heart suddenly raced uncontrollably, and her cheeks flushed without her realizing it.

“Of course I know him, I’ve even met him,” Zhu Xiangxiang said with a touch of pride in her voice.

The driver glanced at her in surprise, “Master Xiao is not someone ordinary people like us can meet…”

Zhu Xiangxiang asked, “So, you mean Bojinlai Casino is Master Xiao’s property? Will he be there?”

“I don’t know about that, but I heard Bojinlai Casino is a place he frequents. If you’re lucky, you might see him there.”

As they were talking, they arrived at Tongluo Lane. Zhu Xiangxiang frowned at the shabby, low factory buildings in front of her, “Are you playing with me?”

“Little girl, I’m not playing with you. Go into the alley, turn left at the third intersection, and go through the second door. Go down to the basement, walk through a parking lot for about five minutes, and you’ll see the entrance to Jin Bolai.”

Zhu Xiangxiang hesitantly followed the driver’s directions and walked in, pushing open a wooden door to reveal a staircase leading underground. A cold wind blew up from below, making Zhu Xiangxiang shiver involuntarily.

She coughed, and her voice was immediately swallowed by the darkness, without even an echo.

Zhu Xiangxiang felt a little scared and took a step back. After a moment of thought, she turned on her phone’s flashlight and braced herself to go downstairs.

The underground parking lot was large and dark, with no end in sight and not a single person to be seen.

She stepped on something by accident, making a rustling noise. Zhu Xiangxiang shrieked like a frightened bird, her voice echoing in the empty space.

Zhu Xiangxiang looked down at the flashlight, relieved to see it was just a plastic bottle.

After walking several hundred meters, she finally saw lights.

A few men leaned against the pillars, chatting and smoking, speaking vulgarities.

Zhu Xiangxiang cautiously approached, and one man with yellow hair noticed her, raising an eyebrow to one of his companions. That man stepped in front of Zhu Xiangxiang, teasing her, “This isn’t a place for a young lady like you. Why don’t you come and play with us?”

Zhu Xiangxiang was both frightened and scared, forcing herself to remain calm, she said, “I… I’m here to find someone, please get out of my way.”

“Looking for someone? Looking for a romantic partner? You can just find me.” The man laughed lewdly, prompting his companions to join in the laughter.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s face turned bright red as she clenched her teeth, “You… don’t go too far, you won’t be able to handle my brother.”

Zhu Shaodan was good at fighting, so he should have no problem dealing with these men.
