Taffley was terrified and immediately called for people, who processed all the documents and various credentials of the gambling house through official channels and handed them over to Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan put all the documents and credentials into his backpack.
There were also some bank cards among them, which he checked on his phone and found that they contained over a billion US dollars.
He had made a huge profit coming to the United States this time!
All the credit for this goes to Melina.
If it weren't for her, how could he have come to Washington!
After he put away the bank cards, he said to Taffley, "I'll give you one hour to clear out all your things. I don't want to see any of your belongings here!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Cheng, I'll call people to clean out everything inside right away!" Taffley said repeatedly.
Cheng Xiaofan added, "When you leave, take that fellow lying on the ground with you!"
"Okay, I'll take him away!" Taffley hurriedly grabbed the man's feet on the ground and dragged him out.
After Taffley left, Melina rushed into Cheng Xiaofan's arms and kissed him hard on the cheek.
She said, "Darling, you're amazing! I didn't know you were also a god of gambling!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily, hugged Melina, and returned her kiss. He said, "Melina, by tomorrow, there will be a new culinary god in the Chinese culinary world!"
Melina nodded and said, "Of course, there's nothing in this world you can't do!"
"By the way, darling, that Taffley is truly despicable. He killed the previous owner's family to seize this gambling house."
"Are you just going to let a beast like him go unpunished?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Forget it. I sensed from Taffley's aura that he has cancer and it's in the late stage. He can only live for another six months at most."
"I don't need to bother with someone like him!"
Melina nodded and then asked, "Darling, who are you planning to entrust the management of this gambling house to after winning it?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "I think Withers is a good candidate. I plan to hand over the gambling house to him for management. I believe he'll be so grateful for my trust that he'll work for free!"
Melina quickly said, "Yes, Withers is indeed a good choice. In his eyes, you are a true immortal, and he must feel it's an honor to be able to work for you!"
In less than an hour, Taffley had cleared out all his belongings.
In the blink of an eye, the gambling house was empty, with people coming and going, becoming exceptionally quiet.
When the banner is raised, there will be those who eat the rations.
Those dealers were Taffley's confidantes. After they left, as long as there was money, new dealers could be hired immediately.
These matters would be handled by Withers then.
Cheng Xiaofan could see that this guy was capable of handling things.
He locked the door of the gambling house and said to Melina, "It's getting late. Let's find a place to eat and then head back to the hotel to rest!"
Melina smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat tonight. We can eat at any restaurant you choose!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "I won a gambling house today, so of course, I'll treat. How could I let you spend money!"
Melina said, "I said before, my money is your money, so it's the same if I treat you!"
"Besides, I'm very happy to treat you. You know, after meeting you, you've become the only male god in my heart. I'll never marry anyone else in the future."
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was stunned.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
In this world, how could there be such a foolish woman!
Don't you know that I have my own white goddess, and it's impossible for me to be with you!
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You treat!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Let's just find a place to eat something. We should rest early. I have to participate in the culinary competition tomorrow and must conserve my energy!"
He was giving Melina a heads-up, so she wouldn't think of anything else when they rested that night.
Melina's face lit up with a smile, and she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
They walked not far and found an open-air barbecue stall ahead.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Let's have some barbecue there!"
Melina was completely obedient to Cheng Xiaofan and immediately agreed, "Okay, if you want barbecue, then we'll have barbecue!"
At the food stall, Cheng Xiaofan ordered some grilled meat, and Melina also ordered ten bottles of beer.
She chuckled at Cheng Xiaofan and said, "Barbecue isn't fun without beer. Let's each have five bottles!"
Cheng Xiaofan knew she didn't have a high alcohol tolerance and said, "Don't get yourself drunk drinking so much!"
Melina giggled and said, "It's okay, darling. I just like that slightly dizzy feeling when I'm a bit drunk."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Alright, if you want to drink, I'll accompany you!"
No matter how much more alcohol Cheng Xiaofan drank, he wouldn't get drunk. The problem was that Melina was a young woman, and if she got drunk, it would be troublesome.
They drank beer and ate grilled meat.
Cheng Xiaofan remembered that when he was in college, his mentor Zhang Heng had treated him to barbecue on the street.
It was a moonlit night. The teacher and student ate barbecue, drank beer, and chatted about various heroes from ancient times to the present.
They drank until midnight, when the stall owner urged them to close.
The teacher and student ended up drunk on a tree-lined path by the roadside.
They didn't wake up from their hangovers until dawn.
Tonight was the second time Cheng Xiaofan had eaten barbecue on the street in his life.
However, the person eating barbecue with him was no longer Zhang Heng, but a beautiful American woman!
Time had flown by. Recalling past events, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Darling, what good thing are you thinking about that you're smiling to yourself? Can you share it with me?" Melina asked with a smile.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "This is the second time I've eaten barbecue on the street. I was reminded of the first time my mentor treated me to barbecue when I was in college!"
He roughly recounted the story of him and his mentor eating barbecue and drinking, and sleeping by the roadside that night.
When Melina heard this, she couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Darling, I didn't expect you and your mentor to have such an interesting story!"
"Why don't we get drunk tonight like you did back then?" she said.
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "That won't do. You are the daughter of Congressman Miller. If someone discovered it and uploaded it online, it would have a significant impact on your and your father's reputation!"
Upon hearing this, Melina immediately became dejected and said, "Alas, how boring!"
As they ate and drank, it gradually became late into the night.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "Melina, it's getting late, and the owner is about to close up. we should go back too!"
Melina nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back!"
She paid the bill to the owner, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and they got in, heading towards the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Cheng Xiaofan took a shower first, and then Melina went to wash.
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan lay down on the bed, he heard a bang from the bathroom, clearly indicating that Melina had fallen.
