Green Ox also led the way, but as they walked, he asked with confusion.
"By the way, how did you know the employee's name?"
With his question, even Yue Hai and Chen Peiyue turned their confused gazes.
Especially Chen Peiyue, she had already been astonished by Li Zhonglou's familiarity, as if he were strolling through his own backyard, and now he could even call out the names of people inside!
Li Zhonglou smiled and said, "You know, I felt surprised too. I just casually made up a name, thinking with so many employees, they wouldn't possibly remember everyone. Who would have thought I'd run into him."
"Such a coincidence?"
Green Ox clearly didn't believe it.
But Li Zhonglou retorted, "Otherwise? Why would I lie to you about this?"
Chen Peiyue paused.
That made sense; there was nothing to lie about. If he were truly familiar with the place, he would just say so.
Green Ox still had a slight reservation. To him, it was possible Li Zhonglou was pretending not to know him and luring him here.
However, when he recalled the entire process, it seemed he was the one who had been following the clues to this place, not Li Zhonglou asking him to come.
So, he eventually put his guard down.
This matter was quickly settled. Due to his friendship, Green Ox was somewhat familiar with the layout, and under his guidance, the group quickly made their way to the Yellow Leopard Employee Training Base.
It was essentially an old factory, but because much of the training content was confidential, as casinos certainly had their own internal methods, the actual base was located beneath the old factory.
Perhaps it was luck, but the group ran into A'Bao at a corner.
"Damn, you blind or something!"
A'Bao cursed instinctively, but when he realized, he saw that the few people before him were strangely wearing masks and didn't look like employees of the training base.
"Who are you?"
"A'Bao?"
Li Zhonglou blurted out. A'Bao's face immediately showed surprise.
"Who exactly are you? How do you know my name?"
Li Zhonglou, hidden behind the mask, smiled and without further ado, stepped forward and knocked him out with a chop to the neck.
A'Bao was just an ordinary hoodlum, and facing Li Zhonglou in his soul-fused state, he couldn't react at all. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he blacked out.
Li Zhonglou caught him and handed him over to Yue Hai.
"Let's go!"
Meanwhile, in the casino's changing room, Huang Lizhong realized his hidden camera had been discovered. Not only did he order people to block the exits, but he also intended to shift the blame.
"Everyone, please cooperate with the investigation! Someone has illegally installed a hidden camera in our changing room!"
The people in the casino immediately became displeased. They had come to Red Pavilion precisely because they felt it was safe, and now they were being asked to have their identities checked. Who would accept that?
Seeing many gamblers starting to stir up trouble, Huang Lizhong gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to use force.
"Let me say it again, this is for the safety of all our guests. Everyone must cooperate with the investigation today! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As a supervisor's voice fell, a group of gunmen, wielding firearms menacingly, rushed in and surrounded everyone.
As the only casino in Shangjing with a paid security system, Red Pavilion naturally always had enough gunmen. However, none of the gamblers present expected that the people who were supposed to protect them would turn around and threaten them today!
"Damn! Does Red Pavilion still want to operate in Shangjing? They dare to threaten me!"
"Yellow Leopard is so arrogant! I wonder if you can afford the consequences!"
"Is this still Red Pavilion? They're actually threatening their own gamblers..."
Some were angry, while others were confused by Huang Lizhong's actions.
"It's just a hidden camera; they can catch the person by spending some time reviewing the surveillance. Is there a need for such a big fuss?"
"This isn't making a fuss; this is offending people to death. Is Yellow Leopard finished?"
"What kind of bizarre move is this? Is this the caliber of Yellow Leopard's heir?"
Most people knew Huang Lizhong's identity, and as the mockery continued, some deliberately said it loud enough for Huang Lizhong to hear, their shouts almost requiring a loudspeaker!
No one could take such words well, but Huang Lizhong could only swallow his pride and bear the bitterness...
If the owner of the hidden camera was an outsider, he certainly wouldn't have made this decision. But the problem was, he was the one who installed it!
If the video was leaked, it could trigger an investigation from above or reveal clues. Then, he would be offending far more than just this group of gamblers!
Therefore, at this moment, Huang Lizhong could only endure the sneers and even loud insults.
As long as he could get the item back!
Just then, the bright hall suddenly lit up with red light, and everyone's expression froze.
"What's going on now?"
"Holy crap, this looks like Red Pavilion's alarm. Is something happening?"
This was indeed Red Pavilion's unique alarm, but it was usually only activated when Red Pavilion was attacked by outsiders or in a critical situation.
"What's happening?"
Even Huang Lizhong was bewildered as to why this was happening, until a subordinate reported, "We found two guards attacked and unconscious at the backstage entrance!"
Huang Lizhong then understood what had happened.
At the same time, his expression turned cold: "It must be the people we're looking for! Everyone, follow me to the backstage!"
Huang Lizhong waved his hand, and the gunmen immediately surged towards the backstage.
Just then, Li Zhonglou and the others rushed out from inside.
At that moment, time and space seemed to stand still as Li Zhonglou and his group exchanged glances with the approaching eyes.
"Damn! Get them!"
"Go!"
Both sides reacted almost simultaneously. Li Zhonglou activated his Heavenly Eye again, instantly finding the most suitable escape route, and immediately led the group to withdraw rapidly.
The moment their figures moved, Huang Lizhong's men opened fire.
Brrrt!
All the bullets hit empty space.
None of Li Zhonglou's group were ordinary people. Even Green Ox, the weakest among them, was a mercenary who had long operated internationally, so his reaction time was naturally incomparable to ordinary people.
By the time the gamblers realized there were indeed intruders, Li Zhonglou and his group had already vanished.
"Damn, someone actually dared to cause trouble in Yellow Leopard's Red Pavilion?"
"If they can still escape, Red Pavilion's reputation will be ruined..."
Huang Lizhong, also realizing the seriousness of the matter, roared with a darkened face, "Bring them to me alive or dead!"
