But Yue Hai hadn't thought about it in that direction at all, and said with full confidence, "Don't worry, Brother Li, I have great luck. Maybe the upcoming funds can come from me!"
Li Chonglou just chuckled at this.
Gambling, this thing, is sometimes more serious than sex. The saying "nine out of ten gamblers lose" is actually a lie; ten out of ten losing is the norm of life.
Some people may win for a while, but they definitely won't win forever. The most precious thing they lose is their life.
So, this thing is for small bets for leisure, and big bets are harmful.
If Chen Peiyue weren't here, Li Chonglou would never have let Yue Hai touch it again.
After the two left, Li Chonglou stood in place, observing the environment of this so-called Red Hall.
Of course, he was still paying attention to the guards and surveillance locations. Years of experience had long instilled this instinct for vigilance in him. Even though he was only here to find someone and had no intention of causing any conflict, Li Chonglou subconsciously found his escape route first.
What he saw then surprised him. The guards inside the Red Hall not only relied on firearms, but the armed individuals were clearly martial artists at a glance.
Whether it was their stance or their aura, they were several levels higher than ordinary people!
Martial arts masters plus firearm experts?
This combination is undoubtedly the most suitable for modern society! And it poses the greatest threat to those of them who are skilled in martial arts.
Li Chonglou's brows furrowed slightly.
Huang Bao was also one of the four major powers in Shangjing, so his resources were naturally incomparable to those smaller forces. The sophistication of his weapons was probably only estimable when actually used.
If they were all equipped with the latest high-tech, even he, if his soul fusion was slow, might fall here...
For safety, Li Chonglou alerted Ai Lin in the soul bottle.
"Be ready to fuse at any time."
"Okay."
Then Li Chonglou noticed that there was a second floor on the right side of the hall. Strangely, from his angle, he couldn't see any stairs leading up.
Just then, a young man suddenly appeared on the second floor.
This second floor was like an extended balcony on a high wall, except that even the handrail was golden. Such a prominent design, rendered in gold, looked quite reasonable.
The young man rested his hands on the golden handrail, looking down at the crowd below.
The man was not wearing a mask and looked to be in his early twenties. His face at this moment clearly showed a condescending arrogance, indicating he was no good person.
Li Chonglou hadn't thought much of it initially, but he inadvertently noticed that the man's gaze was lingering in the direction of Yue Hai and the others!
Already on guard, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
However, to avoid drawing the other party's attention, Li Chonglou first blended into the crowd and then chose an excellent position from which he could observe both the man on the second floor and Yue Hai and the others.
"I hope it's just a coincidence..."
Li Chonglou murmured to himself, but in his heart, he didn't hold much hope for the truth of this thought...
If Chen Peiyue hadn't been wearing a mask, this situation might have been understandable. After all, among the many beautiful women Li Chonglou had seen, her beauty was still remarkable, and it would not be strange for her to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
But the problem was that Chen Peiyue was wearing a mask now, and her attire was also somewhat androgynous. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice her presence.
Therefore, the man's sudden fixed gaze was very abnormal!
As expected, under Li Chonglou's careful observation, the newly appeared young man was heading straight for Yue Hai and the other two. His gaze had not left them since he found their location!
Could Green Bull be problematic?
Li Chonglou's first thought was of Green Bull, who had just left. If the time for informing was taken into account, the sudden appearance of the young man was very well-timed with Green Bull's departure!
Suddenly, Li Chonglou noticed the young man on the second floor take out his phone and dial someone.
Not long after, something unusual happened with Yue Hai.
Although Yue Hai found the table for "Gambling for Three Dukes" this time, his luck was clearly not as good as last time. He won one hand and lost three, and finally had to rely on Chen Peiyue next to him to test the waters to win back his principal.
"Why has my luck suddenly turned so bad this time? I was winning every bet last time."
It was embarrassing to lose face in front of a girl, which made Yue Hai scratch his head, looking somewhat troubled.
However, compared to his usual enthusiasm, after playing a few rounds, Chen Peiyue refused to gamble further.
Seeing Chen Peiyue suddenly push her chips back to him, Yue Hai said in surprise, "You're having great luck, why don't you continue?"
"I feel like this thing can be addictive, so it's better not to touch it. Besides, I don't lack money."
Chen Peiyue said, shaking her head. Her life had been spent almost entirely within the Little Knife Society, and she had no concept of money, so she naturally had no interest in it.
But Yue Hai was different.
"You don't lack it, but I do. I refuse to believe my luck will stay this bad."
Yue Hai was about to bet again when suddenly the sound of breaking glass came from beside them.
Yue Hai and the people around them instinctively turned their heads to look, and saw that one side of Chen Peiyue's clothes was wet from wine, and a server was standing next to her.
"I'm so sorry, I slipped. Madam, please come with me to the dressing room, and I'll have someone get you a new set for free!"
The server carrying the wine apologized sincerely, and Chen Peiyue, feeling the discomfort from her wet clothes, said helplessly, "Alright."
Yue Hai, standing beside her, immediately frowned. As the two of them left, he followed, only to see the server suddenly turn around and say, "Don't worry, sir. We have special female attendants here, and no one else is allowed into the women's dressing room."
Do I need you to tell me that? Yue Hai rolled his eyes. At this moment, Chen Peiyue also spoke, "You play first, I'm fine."
Considering Li Chonglou's evaluation of Chen Peiyue, Yue Hai didn't take it to heart. He nodded and returned to his excited pursuits.
This scene, however, made Li Chonglou's brows furrow even tighter.
To others, this was just an accident, but Li Chonglou noticed that it happened right after the young man on the second floor finished his phone call!
And his gaze followed Chen Peiyue's figure!
He was coming for Chen Peiyue.
Li Chonglou instantly had an answer in his heart, but he felt puzzled.
Chen Peiyue hadn't revealed her true face since she entered. Why was this happening?
