To avoid arousing Jiang Xiaowan's suspicion, before we departed, after inspecting the first-floor lobby…
I deliberately led Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun out the door. We stood by the trash can outside, smoking a cigarette and chatting cheerfully.
Although Jiang Xiaowan remained in the Enclave the entire time, I knew she saw us.
After showing ourselves, I turned back into the casino with Cheng Minglang, heading straight for the hidden door.
As for Han Jinlun, tonight I’ve given him special permission to unleash his "micro-invincibility" until 3 AM, to truly liberate his nature.
I know this guy has been lusting after Jiang Xiaowan for a long time.
Especially after finding out Jiang Xiaowan's identity earlier, he’d been clamoring to use his true nature to play an undercover game, to infiltrate the enemy’s… inner circle.
I’ve given him the opportunity. Whether he can seize it will depend entirely on Han Jinlun’s skill!
Tonight, I haven’t just set a test for Han Jinlun; Cheng Minglang and the others face one too.
I’m well aware that while Ying Baolin was using Jiang Xiaowan to monitor me, he was also observing me covertly for a while.
Once I’ve shown no signs of abnormality, I believe… Ying Baolin will approach me soon. Reading Books.
My journey in the Thousand Doors Blue Path has reached a point where I’m facing an opponent with such a vast disparity in strength for the first time.
Before that, setting aside loyalty, I need to individually witness how much strength Cheng Minglang and the other three can exert in their respective areas of expertise…
………………
Upon arriving at Wuyue Plaza in the urban area, shortly after calling Liu Xiang, a Honda Odyssey slowly drove towards us.
Just as Yu Fei had said, as soon as we got in the car, I, Cheng Minglang, and Xian Yu were each fitted with blindfolds.
Once it was confirmed that our vision was completely obscured, the Odyssey sped away.
Meanwhile, Xu Peiyu, who had been lying in wait at a corner of the plaza, also quietly hailed a taxi and followed.
I know Liu Xiang has probably briefed his subordinates on some anti-tracking methods.
But he certainly wouldn’t have expected that I’d only sent one person to discreetly follow, and it’s a female character who is easily overlooked.
Xu Peiyu is incredibly meticulous and has strong on-the-spot adaptability.
I’m confident that as long as these people aren’t seasoned professionals trained in counter-tracking, Xu Peiyu will have her unique methods to keep pace with them.
The hotel-style casino, known as the "crematorium for gamblers," today… I will finally get a glimpse of its true face!
Since I couldn’t see anything, I had no idea how much time had passed.
I only felt that after a series of twists and turns, the Odyssey’s speed gradually slowed down.
When the car stopped and the engine was turned off, the three of us were helped out by the people in the car.
Although I couldn’t see where we were, I clearly heard the echo of footsteps on the ground.
This kind of echoing sound only occurs in quiet and spacious environments.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Odyssey’s destination is likely a certain underground parking lot.
Nowadays, besides some high-end residential communities, only some super malls and hotels have dedicated underground parking lots.
Up to this point, my deductions are completely correct… a hotel-style mobile casino!
Now, all that’s needed is to figure out the approximate location of this hotel and which floor the casino is on, and this hidden setup will instantly become clear and obvious!
Just as I was contemplating how to determine the hotel’s location…
Ding!
The crisp sound of an elevator door opening reached my ears.
About a minute later.
Accompanied by a slight ringing in my ears, I roughly estimated the casino’s specific floor in this hotel.
Generally speaking, if you experience ear ringing while riding an elevator, it’s mostly due to the air pressure in your ears being affected during the elevator’s ascent or descent.
To produce such a reaction, the elevator must have risen or descended to at least ten floors.
And I went up with them in the elevator, which means I am now above the tenth floor of the hotel!
With that in mind, while pretending to take out a cigarette, I quickly followed the movements I had previously simulated and practiced. In the message window I had already opened for Xu Peiyu, I sent the four characters "ten to twenty." kan shu wu. xià
In such a highly concealed hotel-style casino, once you enter, your mobile signal will definitely be blocked by a signal jammer.
I’m not worried about Xu Peiyu being unable to find this place; rather, I’m more concerned that after confirming the location, she won’t be able to pinpoint my exact position.
Compared to "one to twenty," the range of "ten to twenty" has been halved.
In such a predatory gambling den, the probability of a gambler winning millions and leaving safely with the money is far, far lower than winning the lottery with an additional bet!
So, whether the three of us can retreat safely now depends on Xu Peiyu.
……………………
Leaving the elevator and entering the casino, the boss, Liu Xiang, personally came to greet us and removed our blindfolds.
“Brother, I can tell you’re destined for great wealth!”
After handing out cigarettes, Liu Xiang joked.
This time, after taking a cigarette, I didn’t light it directly. Instead, I looked around and quipped, “Boss Liu, you’ve made this feel like a secret agent rendezvous, you scared me to death!”
“In this day and age, you can earn a little less money, but safety work must be done thoroughly!”
Liu Xiang replied with a chuckle.
After speaking, he led us directly to the largest room in this area.
As I walked with Liu Xiang, I noticed that, just as Yu Fei had said, the surroundings were completely covered with blackout curtains.
And at every curtained entrance, a bodyguard in a sharp suit stood guard.
This safety work is indeed quite thorough.
Following Liu Xiang into the room, the scene inside the door as it opened was truly a hidden world!
I saw that in front of various oval gambling tables, female dealers with attractive faces and hot figures were smiling and looking forward.
Beauty and money, the two biggest x-factors that stimulate men’s adrenaline!
At one of the gambling tables, four people of different builds and dressed in various ways were seated formally, clearly waiting for someone.
Looking around and confirming the number of people at each gambling table, I immediately realized… everyone at this table was waiting for me!
Liu Xiang, that stingy old skinflint, wants to fill every gambling table with people to bleed them dry!
Behind the gambling table prepared for me, there were neatly arranged sofas that looked high-end but were actually made of extremely inferior artificial leather.
A quick glance revealed about seven people.
In other words, the four people waiting to gamble at the table had each brought at least one companion.
Among the seven people, only three looked like professional bodyguards.
Tall and broad, with well-developed limbs and explosive muscles.
After being led to sit down by Liu Xiang, a staff member immediately approached me and politely said, “Good evening, boss.”
“According to the rules of the establishment, after entering the game and taking your seat, you must hand over your communication devices to us for safekeeping.”
