The so-called "explosion of the game" refers to a dispute that arises during or after a gambling match due to one party's dissatisfaction with the other.
Once an explosion of the game occurs, it signifies a fight to the death.
I am unsure what method Kang Muru used after being called out to persuade Yang Yuanyuan and the casino ship's manager to let him go.
However, it is clear that Kang Muru is a petty person who repays kindness with enmity and holds grudges for the smallest offense.
He attributed the reason for the game's disruption entirely to me and prepared to retaliate against me.
Without Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun present, I knew exactly what consequences awaited me if Kang Muru caught me.
Therefore, without a moment's hesitation or pause, the instant I saw Kang Muru and his men surrounding me, I took to my heels.
As midnight approached, a commotion, completely unexpected, began to stir on the gambling ship, which had gradually returned to a state of calm.
The source of the commotion was none other than Kang Muru and me!
I ran! He chased! I dodged! He searched!
From the third floor to the first! From indoors to outdoors!
I had thought that after causing a disturbance, Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun would have sensed something was amiss.
After all, Kang Muru, who was chasing me, had shown his face in the VIP room earlier.
But for some reason, these two were conspicuously absent!
Without even guessing, I knew that Han Jinlun had likely dragged Cheng Minglang along to "save" two fallen women.
With both of them unreliable, I could only place all my hopes of escape on myself.
At critical moments, one must rely on oneself!
...
After leaping and hiding throughout the gambling ship for a while, until my legs felt as heavy as lead and I could barely move, I still didn't dare to stop and rest.
Although this gambling ship was large, it was still just a ship.
Unless I jumped into the river, there was no such thing as an absolutely safe area.
I could only move from one place to another, constantly changing my hiding spots to disrupt Kang Muru's rhythm.
Thus, I gritted my teeth and persevered, engaging in a battle of wits with Kang Muru and his men throughout the ship.
I don't know how long it took...
Only after I had managed to shake them off again did I slowly stop in a rather concealed corner.
The moment I stopped, I instinctively turned my head to look.
Confirming that there was no movement behind me, I collapsed onto the ground.
With my hands supporting me, I leaned back as much as possible, panting heavily.
For me, this non-stop, life-risking escape was as intense as a professional ten-kilometer race.
Fortunately, I had trained with Cheng Minglang for over a month recently, and my physical fitness had improved significantly. Otherwise...
Just as I thought I could catch my breath, a sinister voice suddenly came from the front.
"You little bastard! You can run, can't you? This time, where the hell do you think you're going to run?!"
The moment I heard the voice, my heart, which had just settled, suddenly trembled.
Kang Muru, that scoundrel, had caught up to me!
Struggling to get up from the ground and looking up at Kang Muru, I saw him looking at me with a fierce and mocking expression.
If my guess was not wrong, Kang Muru had not made a move because he was unsure if he could take me down.
After all, my size was a factor.
When paths cross, the brave one wins!
Cheng Minglang had taught me this saying.
He said that if I encountered any unforeseen circumstances in the future, and the other party was also alone, I shouldn't overthink things. I only needed to do one thing.
Fight him!
With that thought, after catching my breath for a moment longer, I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists, and charged at Kang Muru with all my might.
Exhausted, I didn't expect this punch to cause much damage to Kang Muru; I just hoped to repel him and make my escape.
However, just as my fist was about to hit his face...
A figure suddenly darted out from behind Kang Muru!
Before I could even get a clear look at the person, with a dull thud, I was kicked in the abdomen by that person and sent flying backward, falling to the ground.
"Damn it! You still dare to fight back?!"
"Little brat, no one on this gambling ship has ever dared to expose my game before. You're the first!"
"Since you're so brave, then today... I must give you a proper welcome!"
"Go! Drag him over here!"
As he spoke, Kang Muru's face was slightly contorted, his eyes filled with the satisfaction of revenge.
Hearing this, I immediately understood why Kang Muru had emerged unscathed after I exposed his game, and the root of all the problems that had confused me before.
It turned out this was a rigged ship!
The manager of this gambling ship was in cahoots with Kang Muru!
If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the "fish-slaughtering game" that Uncle Tuo had mentioned to me, which could only be seen on gambling ships!
The so-called fish-slaughtering game was created specifically for gambling ships.
The gamblers chosen by the gambling ship were like fresh, live fish.
From the moment they were chosen, the fate of these big fish was sealed.
They had no choice but to lie on the chopping block and be slaughtered!
The consequence of resistance was only one: seeking one's own death!
No wonder the two cheaters called by Yang Yuanyuan couldn't see any problems before.
It wasn't that they couldn't see through it, but they didn't dare to see through it! Nor did they dare to expose it!
Kang Muru was so brazen because he wasn't alone at all!
Behind him stood... the entire gambling ship!
If my face hadn't been so unfamiliar, and if I hadn't been attending the gambling match as Yang Yuanyuan's friend, he would have found me long ago!
I understood, everything was clear now...
I hunted all day, only to be blinded by the hawk!
Despite always saying that gambling is nine parts deceit, I fell for it this time without any defense!
Ultimately, I was still too young, and my experience and knowledge had not yet reached Uncle Tuo's level.
If Uncle Tuo were still here, he would definitely have seen through this fish-slaughtering game!
After figuring out all the problems, only one thought remained in my mind.
How could I escape?
Although I desperately wanted to retaliate against Kang Muru and the manager of the gambling ship behind him, it was definitely not now!
With Ying Baolin as their towering tree, Kang Muru and his lackeys were emboldened.
To amass wealth, they had all reached a point of madness, daring to even target a strong woman like Yang Yuanyuan, who was worth over a hundred million.
