Thinking of this, I immediately called Cheng Minglang and the others to hurry towards the Liuli Nightclub ahead, and at the same time, I called Su Liuli directly.
When the call connected, I didn't exchange pleasantries with Su Liuli but went straight to the point, asking, "Boss Su, where are you now?"
"I'm waiting for you in the nightclub's office."
"Can we change the meeting place to the nightclub's surveillance room? Can we meet there?"
Hearing my words, Su Liuli was silent for a moment before finally replying, "Alright, as you wish! The surveillance room is at..."
"I'll call someone to wait for you at the main entrance later, and you can just follow them in."
After confirming the location of the surveillance room with Su Liuli, I hung up the phone and led Cheng Minglang and the others straight to the nightclub's surveillance room...
By the time I arrived at the surveillance room, Su Liuli was already inside.
Seeing me arrive, she immediately asked what had happened.
Upon hearing this, I relayed the information I had overheard in the taxi.
Upon learning that a group from the Rongmen had extended their reach to the Liuli Nightclub, Su Liuli's pretty face instantly flushed with intense anger.
"These people really know how to pick a place!"
Su Liuli said coldly, "The nightclub is all dark. If a few pickpockets come in and start cutting bags, they'll hit the jackpot!"
"Exactly!" I agreed, nodding, "That's why I wanted to meet you in the surveillance room, so you can deal with the trouble in your own backyard first!"
"Although the cameras can't capture clear images in the dim environment, as long as we can spot suspicious individuals in the footage, we can narrow down the search.
"Once the targets are identified, you can make your move when they act, and it will be a case of catching them red-handed!"
The meal was already served, and it was up to Su Liuli to handle the situation.
Although I needed her help, it was impossible for me to do all the work.
I am a gambler, not her subordinate, and I have no duty or obligation to personally handle these matters.
After explaining everything, I didn't linger any longer and simply stood aside, waiting for Su Liuli to resolve the issue.
As a boss who could handle things independently, Su Liuli immediately instructed everyone in the surveillance room to focus their attention on the surveillance screens, searching for suspicious individuals lurking in the nightclub's main hall...
About seven or eight minutes passed.
Even though the alternating flashing lights in the entire dance floor were dim, sharp-eyed individuals still spotted something unusual.
Soon, two people highly suspected of being thieves were identified.
Another five minutes passed.
The other members of the Rongmen gang had yet to show up.
Just then, Su Liuli's phone suddenly rang.
Within seconds of answering the call, I saw Su Liuli's expression freeze.
"I'm coming right over!"
With that single sentence, Su Liuli hung up the phone.
After instructing her subordinates to keep a close eye on the two suspicious individuals, Su Liuli, without explanation, beckoned me to follow her out.
I thought Su Liuli had something urgent to tell me, but to my surprise, as soon as we stepped out, she led me to another separate surveillance room.
The newly entered surveillance room was much more spacious than the previous one and had more complete equipment, but...
All the surveillance feeds showed only gambling tables.
What's going on?
As this thought crossed my mind, I immediately understood.
Selling dog meat under the guise of sheep's head!
This is a common tactic used by most owners of privately run casinos.
Whether it's private house casinos, hotel casinos, nightclub casinos, KTV casinos, or even bathhouse casinos, there are no tricks that people who are solely focused on making money can't think of!
...
While I was concentrating, Su Liuli suddenly spoke, "I just received a call from my subordinate saying that many unfamiliar faces went to the underground casino to gamble tonight."
"And most importantly, there are cheaters mixed among these unfamiliar faces!"
"My subordinate said that on one table in the underground casino, nearly 800,000 chips were won in less than ten minutes, and even the overhead lights couldn't detect any flaws in their cheating!"
"A casino is never a place to gamble on luck. If even the overhead lights can't detect a problem, do you believe that the person who has won 800,000 chips from me so far is not a cheater?"
"As a gambler, if you want to win money in a venue and get away clean, you'd do it stealthily and make a fortune quietly. Why would you be so blatant?"
"It's obvious that they're here to stir up trouble!"
"Tonight, my biggest nightclub and casino are being targeted at the same time. If this isn't a premeditated attack, what is it?"
Upon hearing this, I immediately realized: Su Liuli's establishment was in trouble!
Not only that, but the pickpockets in the nightclub were probably not there to work, but had other intentions!
After understanding the key points, I immediately looked at Su Liuli and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"
I didn't believe Su Liuli called me to the casino's surveillance room just to hear her confess her predicament.
As expected!
Su Liuli's beautiful eyes were fixed on me, and her delicate lips parted slightly, saying, "We've already cooperated once, and I'm very clear about your skills!"
"If the overhead lights in my venue can't handle it, you definitely have a way to handle it! So..."
"I want to ask you to step in and help me apprehend the cheater who is causing trouble in the underground casino!"
"After the job is done, there will be a generous reward!"
At this moment, pointless excuses or playing hard to get would only waste time.
Because both Su Liuli and I knew that we both had something to ask of each other.
So, it was better to be direct.
Without a moment's hesitation, I nodded and agreed, "Deal!"
After quickly reaching a consensus, I immediately focused my gaze on the surveillance screen in front of me and, following the gestures of the surveillance security personnel, fixed my eyes on certain individuals in the footage...
As I observed the suspicious individuals, Su Liuli said from the side, "I've already instructed my subordinates to set up an ambush at the entrances and exits of the underground casino in advance."
"Your only task is to make sure that person is trapped in the underground casino!"
"Once they are caught red-handed, the rest will be handled by my people!"
