"Do you have anything left to say? I was prepared to let you off the hook, yet you courted death yourself!"
After showing the entire video of his opponent cheating, Mu Jinyu slowly turned around and stared at the middle-aged man, his voice laced with murderous intent as he asked.
"Damn it, cheating yourself and daring to slander others for it, ruining my reputation and making me lose face along with you!"
"Shit, I've never been this humiliated in my life!"
The few tycoons who had also suspected Mu Jinyu of cheating and had come to serve as witnesses, upon learning the truth of the matter, realized that the middle-aged man was the actual card shark. They were instantly enraged!
Following that, they couldn't help but go over, raise their fists and kick, and began to beat him up!
"Ow, ow! It hurts, stop hitting me!"
The middle-aged man immediately let out a piteous howl.
After they had struck him a few times, Mu Jinyu finally spoke in a cool tone, "Stop, all of you!"
Those men were just preparing to give him another thrashing, to vent their anger, but they reluctantly withdrew their hands and stopped when they heard Mu Jinyu's words.
The middle-aged man thought Mu Jinyu was being kind and was about to let him off again; he struggled to raise his head and showed Mu Jinyu a grateful smile.
Mu Jinyu glanced at him with cold eyes and said to Li Heshan, whose face was ashen, "What's the Jianghu rule for card sharks when they're caught?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The middle-aged man with a grateful smile had his smile instantly freeze on his face!
Li Heshan was taken aback by the question, then his mouth curled into a cruel smile, his lips twitched, revealing a bloodthirsty flavor, "Chop off his hand!"
"Bring me a knife!"
Mu Jinyu stretched out his hand and called to the bodyguards at the doorway.
"Clang!"
The bodyguard immediately went to fetch a knife, then returned, drawing the blade from its sheath with a clang. The gleaming blade reflected the middle-aged man's pallid face, complementing it eerily!
Mu Jinyu took the knife and placed his finger on the tip, immediately feeling a chilling sharpness that made his fingertips tingle with pain!
"Good knife!"
Mu Jinyu withdrew his testing hand and laughed once, then walked toward the pale-faced middle-aged man!
"You... you... don't come over!!!"
The middle-aged man, seeing Mu Jinyu approaching him, suddenly let out a hysterical, frenzied scream!
The decibels of the sound were so loud that the whole building could hear it.
At the doorway, Yu Linglong, who was being supported as she prepared to silently flee this hellish underground gambling den, heard this extremely piteous voice and couldn't help but peek inside!
And then...
She saw...
"Chop!"
The middle-aged man's palm was held out straight and firmly by two bodyguards, and Mu Jinyu chopped it off with the knife!
"Shick!"
Bright red blood burst forth, shockingly vivid!
It splattered across the middle-aged man and the two bodyguards' faces!
"Ahhh!!!!!"
With his entire palm chopped off, the middle-aged man felt such intense pain that he let out an incredibly sharp howl!
And Yu Xiuwen, who stood dumbfounded at the doorway, watching this scene unfold, instantly turned pale to an extreme degree.
He had been wondering whether Mu Jinyu, when he said he would remove his kidney, was just trying to scare him.
After all, how could he, his father-in-law, be treated so brutally by his son-in-law, with his own daughter cooperating?
He believed that if Mu Jinyu was really going to mishandle him, Yu Linglong would not just stand by and watch.
But now, seeing this middle-aged man who cheated in gambling, and whose hand Mu Jinyu had just chopped off, he suddenly felt like he had plummeted into an ice cellar, his body chilled to the bone!
His son-in-law, he's truly a devil!
It seems his kidney was indeed removed by him...
Yu Xiuwen's eyelids flipped up, and the entire man fainted from shock!
"Dad!"
Yu Linglong, who had seen the scene of Mu Jinyu chopping off a man's hand, turned pale with fright, but still managed to maintain some composure. However, upon seeing her father faint once again and slump onto the ground, she called out in worry.
After chopping off the Card Shark's hand, Mu Jinyu handed the knife back to the respectfully waiting bodyguard, and without bothering about Yu Linglong and the others, instructed Li Heshan, "Later, dress his wound, find out who sent him here, then notify Ah-Biao and Sister Mei."
Li Heshan knew that Ah-Biao was Brother Biao Wang Zhengbiao, and Sister Mei naturally referred to their Big Sister, Mei Yinxue. He nodded respectfully and said, "Your subordinate understands."
Only then did Mu Jinyu turn around, his gaze coldly shifting to Yu Linglong as he spoke softly, "Why did you bring him out here?"
Yu Linglong met Mu Jinyu's eyes, still not entirely rid of their murderous aura, and also felt some fear and trepidation, then softly said, "He said... he needed to use the restroom. Since I saw you all had disappeared, I had no choice but to help him out..."
Mu Jinyu spoke indifferently, "Take him back, he deceived you. But from now on, he probably won't dare anymore!"
Indeed, if the initial spectacle, once Yu Xiuwen had calmed down, could have aroused some suspicion in him, the scene of the hand being chopped off was something he had witnessed with his own eyes.
Mu Jinyu believed that this fellow Yu Xiuwen probably wouldn't dare gamble again in his life!
The events of today would become the memories most difficult to forget for the rest of his life.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu left the room, telling Li Heshan to take care of the Card Shark, while he helped Yu Linglong support Yu Xiuwen back to their room.
"For the time being, you and your father will stay here, I've already instructed Li Heshan. He will bring your meals every day. If you need anything else, just tell him, and he will bring it to you," Mu Jinyu told Yu Linglong.
Of course, Yu Xiuwen could not leave for the moment, his heart had not been removed yet.
Without scaring him for a few more days, Mu Jinyu feared he wouldn't learn his lesson.
"Okay, alright..." Yu Linglong was quite scared of Mu Jinyu at the moment. Hearing his instructions, she timidly responded.
"Then I will be going now." Seeing that there was nothing else, and it was also getting late, Mu Jinyu said he should report back to Gu Xiyan about the night's activities.
Hearing this, Yu Linglong hesitated, but finally, gathering her courage, she said, "Thank you!"
"With your relationship with Xiyan, there's no need for such formalities between us!" Mu Jinyu replied indifferently and then left the room.
Yu Linglong watched Mu Jinyu's retreating figure disappear from sight, feeling somewhat lost.
She understood what Mu Jinyu's words meant; the reason he wasted so much time helping her tonight was entirely for Gu Xiyan's sake, because she was Gu Xiyan's best friend. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with her!
Yu Linglong thought about Mu Jinyu's actions that night, and a faint sense of regret began to rise in her heart.
She began to regret not taking Gu Xiyan's stubborn and proud words seriously at the time, not genuinely pursuing Mu Jinyu as a joke.
After musing for a while, Yu Linglong shook her head vigorously, driving away the regret.
She couldn't regret it, Gu Xiyan was her best friend. How could she betray her by trying to steal her love?
Moreover, Mu Jinyu might not even like her!
