Chapter 25: Crazy Gambling (1)

  Lu Xiaoqian entered the Man Han Lou, found a window seat and ordered a few small dishes and a bottle of wine, then started drinking alone. He had originally planned to practice the Star Sutra in his room, but after checking the time, it was already past five o'clock, and practicing might delay his evening plans, so he didn't practice and went straight to Man Han Lou instead.

  Lu Xiaoqian didn't want to get too close to Lan Ran, and Secretary Wang had already warned him during the day. Lu Xiaoqian also knew better than to invite this little troublemaker to dinner. After all, the incident with opening a room had already caused one misunderstanding, and if Mayor Lan misunderstood that Lu Xiaoqian had slept with his daughter, things would be disastrous.

  Today, Sun Wanming knew about his and Lanlan's opening house, Lü Xiaoqian guessed that it was Bai Yanni who did the trick after calming down with her eyes closed. However, at this time, Lü Xiaoqian didn't want to take revenge either. Since Sun Wanming didn't even have the most basic trust, taking revenge on Bai Yanni would make Lü Xiaoqian appear to be in a lower position.

  Before I knew it, time flew by quickly and soon it was almost time for me to meet Jay Chou as scheduled.

  The parking lot of Man Han Lou suddenly had many cars of various colors, and Lu Xiaoqian scanned the people in these cars with his Tianyan (heavenly eye) and couldn't help but frown. The dozen or so cars that just arrived were all filled with young people from society, and their trunks were also packed with clubs and other objects.

  A Land Rover finally arrived in front of the Man Han Lou, and as soon as the door opened, Zhou Jie's short figure appeared in Lu Xiaoqian's line of sight. Along with Zhou Jie getting out of the car was a man with a bowl-cut hairstyle and the bald-headed man from last night, who seemed to be Zhou Jie's bodyguards. Seeing this, Lu Xiaoqian paid the bill through the waiter and left the Man Han Lou.

  Zhou Jie was just about to dial the phone number when he saw Lu Xiaoqian walking out of Man Han Lou, and hurriedly went forward with joy: "Brother Lu came so early! Indeed, you are a man of your word! How was it this morning? Did those cops let you go on the spot?"

  Lu Xiaoqian smiled and nodded, thinking that he had let go, but it wasn't because of what you said, there was also a little ancestor.

  "Haha, no big deal." Zhou Jie said with a tone of understatement yet slightly boastful, smiling as he pulled over the bald-headed guy and the one with the shaved head: "Come on, Baldy! Razor! Let me introduce you to Lu."

  "Brother Qian!" Razor smiled at Lu Xiaoqian. Razor was that pot lid head, a guy with tattoos on the back of his head, looking like someone you shouldn't mess with.

  Guang's attitude towards Lu Xiaoqian was still not very friendly, and he only nodded symbolically as a greeting.

  Lu Xiaoqian nodded, these two people are probably Zhou Jie's henchmen, looking at the two men's ferocious appearance is indeed able to intimidate the scene.

  "Lu, the razor and bald-headed guys can't even get close to you. Tonight, I'll have two of them follow Lu to keep an eye on you, haha." Zhou Jie grinned, showing off his pearly whites, then pointed at the people in the van: "I've also called over a bunch of henchmen to tag along with Lu and give you some extra security."

  At this time, the van's doors were all open, and from the outside, you could vaguely see that some people still had wooden sticks and iron chains in their hands.

  "Brother Zhou, are you going to cause trouble? Bringing so many younger brothers?" Lu Xiaoqian saw this lineup and couldn't help but have a new understanding of Zhou Jie. No wonder even Lei Dashao didn't dare to be arrogant and cause trouble anymore. It seems that this Zhou Jie is indeed someone to be reckoned with.

  Zhou Jie also saw Lu Xiaoqian's doubts and smiled: "Brother Lu, when you go to do things for me, I must ensure your safety."

  Lu Xiaoqian also knew that Zhou Jie was worried about himself getting into trouble and being retaliated against by Lu Youming and Sun Wenyue, but taking a hundred or so people to win money would be too conspicuous. Before they could even win any money, something might happen. At this moment, Lu Xiaoqian walked up to a thug holding a wooden stick, took the stick from him with one hand, squeezed it hard, and then tossed it at Zhou Jie's feet, saying: "No need for so many people, just Baldy and Razor will do."

  Zhou Jie looked down at the wooden stick under the streetlight, and saw that the originally smooth surface of the stick had a palm print on it. The muscles on Zhou Jie's face twitched involuntarily, and he was secretly shocked that Lu Xiaoqian, this young master, could have such great strength.

  "Ah! Lao Di is indeed a true man who doesn't show his face. In that case... Bald Head Shaver! You two take Lao Di away." Zhou Jie turned around and instructed the two barbers, then smiled and said: "Lao Di, come back early, I've set up a table at First Restaurant to celebrate your victory."

  Lu Xiaoqian nodded and directly got on Lu Hu. Zhou Jie saw that Lu Xiaoqian always responded to him with indifference, couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and called the razor over again to instruct a few words. Lu Xiaoqian naturally saw this scene in his eyes, thinking that it seemed that Razor was Zhou Jie's real confidant, and Baldy was just an accessory.

  The bald man got on the car, sat in the driver's seat, turned his head and threatened Lu Xiaoqian in a low voice: "You'd better not have any ideas about my sister, or I'll break your legs! Those 50,000 yuan are considered borrowed from you. When I have money, I will naturally return it to you with interest."

  He repeated it again! Lu Xiaoqian looked at the bald man with a silly expression, and didn't explain himself, sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed. The bald man saw that Lu Xiaoqian was ignoring him, let out a cold hum from his nose, and got into the driver's position.

  The razor also got on the car, and the razor instructed the bald head where to go without saying a word.

  Zhou Jie watched as Lu Hu disappeared into the distance, then whispered a few words to several of the thugs' leaders. Several commercial vehicles started up and carried the thugs off in the direction that Lu Xiaoqian had gone.

  All the way, Lu Xiaoqian used his Heavenly Eye to inspect the entire Land Rover and unexpectedly found several dog-leg knives in the front passenger seat. In the trunk, there was also a pistol without bullets. Behind the Land Rover, several commercial vehicles were following at a distance, although they were far away but never fell behind. This discovery left him speechless. However, he thought about it and understood what he was doing this time. If he won too much and was discovered by the merchants as cheating, there would definitely be some trouble.

  They soon arrived at their first destination, "Dynamic Strip Electric Game City". Lu Xiaoqian had been here once before, directly bringing two followers with magnetic cards to the gaming hall, seeking a quick battle.

  The business of the dynamic zone was also good, and it was the peak hour for the amusement park at night. Lu Xiaoqian found an old tiger machine that was as spirited as before and watched it for a while, then sneered in his heart: The two families' tiger machines had the same model number, and the chaotic mathematical formula was actually the same.

  Lu Xiaochi stared at the slot machine, and Razor and Baldy immediately surrounded him, coldly staring at the gambler playing the slot machine. The gambler was having a great time when he suddenly discovered two fierce-looking men staring at him. He turned his head to see a handsome man smiling wryly at him, and immediately understood the situation. He quickly pulled out his card and slunk away.

  Lu Xiaoqian sat down in front of this slot machine, and the razor immediately inserted the magnetic card.

  Lu Xiaoqian ordered Orange, "All in."
