Flying from Huadu City to Ao Men took just over two hours. By the time Wan Yunting arrived at the Lisboa Hotel, which Kuang Long had mentioned, it was already past nine in the evening.
"Thank you."
After paying the driver, Wan Yunting looked back at the luxurious Lisboa Hotel. He immediately noticed several people standing there. They looked like they belonged to local gangs, squatting by the fountain at the hotel entrance, smoking. They glanced at Wan Yunting, murmuring to each other as they noticed him.
Wan Yunting withdrew his gaze and called Kuang Long directly. Once Kuang Long answered, he gave Wan Yunting the room number. Wan Yunting proceeded into the hotel and took the elevator to the 49th floor. As soon as he stepped out into the corridor, Wan Yunting saw another eight young men from the local gangs gathered at the other end of the hallway. The moment they saw Wan Yunting appear, they all glared at him fiercely.
Wan Yunting remained expressionless. Following Kuang Long’s instructions for the room number, he found room 4809. However, two young men in suits, who looked like bodyguards or subordinates, were guarding the room. As soon as they saw Wan Yunting, their expressions became vigilant, and they raised their hands to block him.
Simultaneously, the eight young men from the other end of the corridor quickly discarded their cigarettes and advanced towards them menacingly. At this, Wan Yunting’s lips curled into a smile. He knew these people were definitely not Ling Wei’s men, but the local gangsters Kuang Long had mentioned who were controlling Ling Wei!
In the next moment, the room door opened. A middle-aged man with dark skin wearing a blue suit emerged, accompanied by a young man with dyed white hair who carried an air of arrogance, clearly his subordinate.
As soon as Liu Tianhua saw Wan Yunting, his eyes narrowed, and a cold smirk appeared on his lips!
"Brother Wan..."
Kuang Long greeted Wan Yunting and immediately pushed Liu Tianhua aside, who was blocking the doorway. "Get out of the way, don't block Brother Wan’s path..."
"You damn punk, looking to die..."
The white-haired youth beside Liu Tianhua glared, cursed, and was about to attack Kuang Long, but Liu Tianhua stopped him. "Long Zai, stand down."
The white-haired youth named Long Zai then stopped, pointed fiercely at Kuang Long, and glared at Wan Yunting, who stood beside them with a half-smile on his face. Liu Tianhua chuckled and said nothing, waving his hand as he led his subordinates away.
"Brother Wan, he’s the guy who conned Big Sister, Hei Zai Hua!" Kuang Long pointed at Liu Tianhua and the others as they left, speaking fiercely.
"Oh."
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "He is quite dark indeed."
"You're here."
Just then, Ling Wei also came out. She was wearing a blue top and a small jacket, with a black pencil skirt that had a slit revealing her slender, beautiful legs. She was as captivating and charming as ever.
However, the worried frown on Ling Wei’s brows told Wan Yunting that she had been troubled by matters recently. Despite this, Ling Wei still put on a charming smile, went up, and linked her arm through Wan Yunting's, giggling, "It seems I still hold a place in your heart!"
Wan Yunting withdrew his arm, giving her a sideways glance. He walked into the suite and into the living room. Han Duo’er immediately greeted him, "Brother Wan..."
"Mm."
Wan Yunting nodded and sat directly on the sofa, asking, "Is there anything to eat? I haven't had dinner yet."
Han Duo’er paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, "I’ll go downstairs to order now..."
Watching Ling Wei gracefully sit beside him, tucking in her skirt, Wan Yunting took out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth. Ling Wei immediately picked up the lighter from the table and brought it to him. Wan Yunting turned his head to glance at her. Ling Wei, with her alluring eyes narrowed, lit his cigarette. After taking a puff, Wan Yunting asked, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
It turned out that Ling Wei had brought Kuang Long and Han Duo’er to Ao Men to expand her casino business, and that's how she found Hei Zai Hua!
Liu Tianhua could be said to be a very famous gambling king in Ao Men. The Hua Yu Casino he opened was one of the top casinos in Ao Men.
Furthermore, Liu Tianhua had previously visited Huadu City and had dealings with Ling Wei. Therefore, she intended to open a casino in Ao Men through him.
Given Liu Tianhua's extensive influence and connections in Ao Men, he quickly found a very good casino and had Ling Wei negotiate the transfer of that casino.
The discussions were going smoothly, and the owner of that casino had agreed to transfer the poorly managed casino to Ling Wei.
However, Ling Wei did not expect that this was all a setup by Liu Tianhua. Not only did he collude with the owner of that casino to scheme against Ling Wei, but he also manipulated things at the gambling table, causing Ling Wei to incur a gambling debt of one billion!
"A billion in gambling debt?"
Hearing that Ling Wei had lost a billion at the gambling table, even Wan Yunting was shocked. He looked at her in disbelief, "I thought you were quite good at gambling? How did you lose so badly?"
"Brother Wan, Big Sister was drugged, which led to her losing so much money that night," Kuang Long said from the side.
Because Ling Wei felt something was wrong at the gambling table that night, she knew she had been set up by Liu Tianhua and his associates!
"So, they obviously intended to cheat you, right."
Wan Yunting finally understood. Ling Wei had been played.
"So you’re going to help me resolve this, aren’t you?"
Ling Wei leaned closer, her delicate hand holding Wan Yunting’s arm, and said charmingly.
"How do we resolve it? Give them money?"
Wan Yunting was taken aback. Ling Wei gave him a sideways glance with her alluring eyes and pouted, "Of course not. They schemed against me, Ling Wei, how can I let them succeed? We must teach them a lesson!"
"Yes, Brother Wan, we can't just let this matter go. If word of this gets back, won't Big Sister be ridiculed by everyone?" Kuang Long chimed in.
"Brother Wan, dinner is here..."
At this point, Han Duo’er dismissed the hotel waiter and personally pushed the meal cart in, placing the various dishes on the coffee table. Wan Yunting was not polite and picked up his chopsticks to eat, saying, "So, how do you want to resolve it?"
Ling Wei, sitting beside him, served him soup and smiled, "Liu Tianhua came to demand money from me just now, so I want to gamble with him again!"
Wan Yunting looked at her, asking, "Do you have confidence you can win?"
Ling Wei smiled and nodded, "With you here, I have confidence!"
Looking at her affectionate, alluring eyes, Wan Yunting smiled and continued eating his meal, "Alright, I’d also like to see who gave him the guts to dare to cheat you."
"Mm."
Seeing her man agree, Ling Wei smiled charmingly. But then, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said, "However, Liu Tianhua seems to have another motive for this matter!"
Wan Yunting turned to look at her, "What other motive?"
Ling Wei couldn't quite figure it out either, saying, "I just feel that Liu Tianhua is plotting something by doing this!"
Wan Yunting and Kuang Long looked confused. Han Duo’er explained, "Big Sister means that Liu Tianhua has no prior grudge against us. It’s really unnecessary for him to scheme against Big Sister like this, so he must have another purpose for doing so!"
Wan Yunting looked at Ling Wei, "Is he interested in you?"
"What are you talking about."
Ling Wei gave him a sideways glance with her alluring eyes. Wan Yunting was perplexed, "Since he's not coveting your beauty, then what is his purpose?"
Ling Wei shook her head slightly, as she couldn't figure it out either. She just felt that Liu Tianhua's actions were too sudden, leaving her completely unprepared.
After all, she had dealt with Liu Tianhua before, and they had no conflicts of interest. Moreover, she had brought him cooperation this time when she came to Ao Men. Therefore, Ling Wei couldn't understand why Liu Tianhua would do this.
"Alright, you don't need to think about it so much. We'll meet him again tomorrow and see what he really wants," Wan Yunting said, not thinking too much about it, and continued eating.
Ling Wei nodded, there was nothing else she could do.
However, they did not know that Liu Tianhua, who was currently on his way back in the car, took out his phone and made a call. The call was quickly connected, and his tone instantly became more polite, "Young Master Fang, the person named Wan Yunting has arrived in Ao Men!"
"Oh."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, laughing, "Then let's meet him tomorrow!"
"Understood."
Liu Tianhua responded, hung up the call, narrowed his eyes, and smiled while smoking a cigar.
The reason he had schemed against Ling Wei was naturally because of that Young Master Fang!
