Chapter 214: [214] You do want to win, but have you won? _1
 

The man who led the three of them in walked to a corner and lifted a metal plate.

Immediately, a staircase leading down was revealed with light shining through from below.

At the same time, a cacophony of shouts and yells could also be heard.

“Go on in.”

The man, with a cigarette in his mouth, turned his head and said to the three.

Just as Tang Feng and Mao Anyi were hesitating, Zhou Bingrui had already taken the lead and descended the stairs.

Seeing this, the other two had no choice but to follow.

“Bang!”

As soon as the three entered, the metal plate was promptly covered again from above.

Mao Anyi’s pretty face turned even paler, clutching Tang Feng’s hand tightly, refusing to let go at any cost.

The scene was too eerie, and she was very scared.

At this moment, Tang Feng was her greatest source of security.

The further down they walked, the brighter the lights became and the louder the shouting and yelling got.

Finally, the scene inside was fully laid out before the three.

This place was actually an underground gambling den.

The space was enormous, at least the size of a basketball court.

There were more than a dozen gambling tables inside, each surrounded by a ring of people, all red-faced and shouting.

“Big, big, big…”

“Small, small, small…”

“Damn it, my luck is too bad today, already lost over ten thousand…”

“Motherfucker, you kidding me? Are you guys cheating?”

Noises of chaos and cursing filled the air.

Tang Feng looked at Zhou Bingrui with incredulity, “Is this the place you said we could make money at?”

Zhou Bingrui nodded solemnly, “Yeah, if luck is on our side, it’s possible to win a few million in one night.”

Tang Feng rolled his eyes, “You only count the winnings, have you thought about how much you can lose?”

Zhou Bingrui hurriedly coughed twice, “Don’t you have Physiognomy Skill? With your ability, you should be able to figure out other people’s cards, right?”

Tang Feng glared at him with annoyance, “That’s Physiognomy Skill, not gambling skill. Using Physiognomy too much can lead to backlash.”

Zhou Bingrui’s face instantly changed, “Really? Then… should we just go back?”

He originally thought that if Tang Feng could figure out something as complex as a traitor within the Qianda Group, then deducing a few cards would be a cinch, right?

But hearing about the backlash, he immediately panicked.

“We’ve come this far, let’s just take a look around first,” Tang Feng’s tone also softened a bit.

The main reason he said that was to prevent Zhou Bingrui from pestering him with fortune-telling requests every other day, which would be incredibly annoying.

Telling him that fortune-telling could cause backlash would make him think twice.

As soon as the three entered the gambling den, a man dressed like a server hurried over, “Mr. Rui has arrived? What would you like to play today? Shall I get you some chips first?”

His attitude also revealed that Zhou Bingrui must be a regular here.

“No need, I’ll just show my friends around first,” Zhou Bingrui waved his hand.

The server then respectfully backed away.

Once he had left, Tang Feng turned to Zhou Bingrui, “Do you come to places like this often?”

Zhou Bingrui chuckled, “Not that often, maybe once or twice a week.”

Tang Feng wanted to curse. Coming here once or twice a week and it’s “not that often”? Does it have to be every day to count as often?

“How much money have you lost in this gambling den?” He then asked.

Zhou Bingrui was displeased with his question, “I don’t like the way you put that. What do you mean ‘lost money’? Are you looking down on someone…?”

“Several million?”

“More than ten million.”

“Damn, you really are a wastrel!”

Tang Feng was completely speechless with him. Lucky for him, he had a thick family fortune – if it were someone else, they would have probably resorted to selling their children.

Zhou Bingrui simply smiled, unconcerned, “I come here just for fun. As for the money, I don’t care that much about it.”

“Heh, you wish you could win, but can you?” Tang Feng ruthlessly burst his bubble.

“Can’t you just save me some face? There’s no need to point it out,” Zhou Bingrui glanced at Mao Anyi, somewhat annoyed.

By now, Mao Anyi had regained her composure and started to look around with curiosity.

Right then, the door of a nearby room opened, and a man who was beaten to a bloody pulp was dragged out.

Blood was still dripping down his trouser legs, leaving two long streaks of blood on the ground.

“Ah!”

Mao Anyi was startled and quickly burrowed into Tang Feng’s embrace.

Tang Feng was also uncertain as he looked at the man, who hung his head as though he didn’t know whether he was dead or alive. Two fingers were missing from his right hand, apparently freshly chopped off.

Strangely enough, none of the gamblers at the tables even glanced over, as if they were used to such sights.

Zhou Bingrui quietly explained, “This person was caught cheating.”

Tang Feng suddenly realized, “They’re pretty ruthless with cheaters here in the gambling den, huh.”

Zhou Bingrui nodded, “That’s true. If they weren’t, everyone would start cheating, and the gambling den wouldn’t be able to operate.”

While the two were talking, they saw a tall man emerge from the room, smiling at the people in the gambling den, “The cheater from just now has been dealt with, everyone can play with peace of mind. In my place, I absolutely don’t allow cheating.”

“Good on you, Mr. Chao, so generous…”

Cheers erupted in the gambling den.

The man then waved to the crowd and smiled before turning around and going back into the room.

At this point, Zhou Bingrui again took on the role of guide, “That guy’s name is Dou Chao, nicknamed Laoying, and he’s the manager of this place…”

As Tang Feng listened to his introduction, he strolled past several gambling tables.

With the explanation of experienced gambler Zhou Bingrui, he learned most of the rules in about fifteen minutes.

Seeing Tang Feng’s eager demeanor, Zhou Bingrui immediately went to the front desk, slamming his hand on the counter, “Give me ten million in chips.”

Tang Feng was startled, “Are you crazy? Why are you exchanging so much for chips?”

Zhou Bingrui grinned at him, “Let’s do half a million each, see who wins more. Don’t worry, it’s my treat. If we win, it’s yours; if we lose, it’s on me.”

Without giving Tang Feng a chance to refuse, he swiped his card on the spot and exchanged for ten million in chips.

Then he handed half of them to Tang Feng.
