"Uncle, go have fun on your own. Aside from the different chips, the rules are all the same here; I won't accompany you."
Mu Jinyu turned back to look at Yu Xiuwen, chuckling softly and speaking thus.
"Mmm-hmm."
Seeing the bustling scene before him, Yu Xiuwen had already cast aside all previous displeasure. Now, with his blood running hot, only one thought remained.
Win money! Make a comeback! Win money...
Thinking so, he hurried off toward the number one gambling hall.
Yu Linglong wanted to follow, but Mu Jinyu grabbed her hand and said, "No need to follow him, let's go this way."
After considering, Yu Linglong obediently trailed behind Mu Jinyu like a docile little wife.
Mu Jinyu, with Yu Linglong in tow, made his way to Li Heshan's office as if he knew it by heart.
Li Heshan had just learned of Mu Jinyu's arrival from a few of the staff and was preparing to come out to greet him when he opened the door and saw Mu Jinyu approaching.
"Young Master Mu, are you here to play?" Li Heshan asked with respectful tone.
In the Xueyin Commerce Chamber, he wasn't a small fry and having seen Mu Jinyu gamble in his domain before, he had been notified by Wang Zhengbiao that Mu Jinyu was now the man of their Big Sister!
How could he dare to slight Mu Jinyu?
If Mu Jinyu had not been Big Sister's man, even if he had connections with Wang Zhengbiao, Li Heshan definitely wouldn't have a pleasant face if Mu Jinyu came to win more money, and would for sure beg him to show mercy and leave with a sour face.
But now, since they were essentially family, this underground casino was also Mu Jinyu's domain. Should Mu Jinyu wish to gamble, Li Heshan naturally had to accompany him with all due respect!
With a teacup in hand, Mu Jinyu nodded at him and said indifferently, "Let's go, we'll talk inside."
The three entered Li Heshan's office.
Mu Jinyu sat on the sofa, crossing his legs and started, "The reason I came today is like this..."
After listening, Li Heshan nodded lightly, casting a glance at Yu Linglong who was sitting next to Mu Jinyu, and said, "I see, I get it. I will cooperate!"
Yu Linglong, sitting by Mu Jinyu's side, felt strange as she listened to them talk about how to trap her father.
But knowing that Mu Jinyu was doing this to help her, for her own good, she didn't say anything.
"Mm." After Mu Jinyu finished outlining his plan to entrap Yu Xiuwen, he picked up his teacup and sipped lightly, adding, "This tea is pretty good. It was given to me by a server at the teahouse out of their own pocket, you know what to do, right?"
"Yes, I understand," Li Heshan replied respectfully.
Mu Jinyu put down the teacup and continued, "Also, it was me who brought her dad here, and that ten million yuan was also provided by me. You get me?"
"Mm-hmm, I understand. What's your card number? I'll transfer the money back to you immediately," Li Heshan said deferentially.
Yu Linglong sat there, dumbfounded.
"???"
A myriad of questions filled her head. Was such a move even possible?
Did this mean she had essentially been bought by him for free?
Watching this unbelievable side, Yu Linglong felt quite disheartened.
Mu Jinyu, this guy, was tricking her and her dad and wasn't even doing it behind her back? It was indeed making her feel really uncomfortable!
What did Mu Jinyu care about Yu Linglong's feelings? He had no relationship with her, so why would he spend ten million yuan to buy her?
If it weren't for the fact that she was Gu Xiyan's close friend, he wouldn't have bothered wasting so much time giving Yu Xiuwen a harsh lesson!
Once Li Heshan got Mu Jinyu's card number, he promptly proceeded with the transfer.
"Ding!"
The message alert sounded.
Mu Jinyu took out his phone for a casual glance, saw the money had come back, and the smile at the corner of his mouth thickened.
He picked up the teacup and downed the last sip of tea, then lowered his crossed legs and turned to Yu Linglong with a smile, "Let's go, uncle should be having a great time. Let's go show some support!"
Yu Linglong got up with him.
Mu Jinyu asked Li Heshan to lead them to the surveillance room.
After Li Heshan brought them in, he had someone pull up the footage of Yu Xiuwen.
Yu Xiuwen was in the dice area at the moment, watching the croupier shake the dice cup with an excited face, shouting along with the crowd.
Although his voice couldn't be heard, the lively atmosphere at the scene was evident.
Mu Jinyu watched for a while, and as he saw Yu Xiuwen losing more and more, he said, "It's not good for him to lose everything too early. Let him win a couple of ten million yuan first."
"Sure," Li Heshan instructed his subordinates.
The employees in the surveillance room, who all remembered Mu Jinyu as a remarkable figure, glanced at him with reverence. Then, along with the croupier at Li Heshan's table, they cooperated.
Next, the two of them rigged the game, and in just a matter of minutes, they turned Li Heshan's near one million yuan loss into winnings of several hundred thousand yuan.
After that, the people at their table, seeing Li Heshan shake off his bad luck and triumph, followed his bets as well.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu said, "Handle it yourselves, don't lose too much money just because you're setting a trap for this old man."
"Understood," nodded Li Heshan.
But he didn't immediately order a complete takedown of these people's bets.
Instead, he waited for Yu Xiuwen to win a few more times, drawing more and more people to follow his bets and place increasingly higher stakes, and then decisively took action, wiping them out in one go!
Yu Xiuwen had lost quite a bit this time around, but all in all, he had made several hundred thousand yuan.
Those who followed his bets, however, suffered heavy losses.
Some didn't dare to follow any longer, while others, refusing to believe their luck wouldn't change, chose to keep betting with Yu Xiuwen for a few more rounds, only to end up devastated without exception.
Under their behind-the-scenes manipulation, Yu Xiuwen's fortunes fluctuated between wins and losses, mostly losing small and winning big.
Within just half an hour,
he had already won over twenty million yuan.
Yu Xiuwen collected his chips, his face flushed with color, and let out an unrestrained laugh, though what he was saying couldn't be heard.
But Mu Jinyu guessed he was probably ecstatic, thinking that he was about to turn the tables.
"Alright, time to wrap this up," Mu Jinyu said dispassionately.
He couldn't let Yu Xiuwen keep winning; if the streak continued, it was likely that Yu Xiuwen would have won back everything he lost. Although gamblers never know when to quit, what if Yu Xiuwen suddenly developed restraint because of Yu Linglong? That would be a huge loss for him!
So, he could only kick Yu Xiuwen back to hell just as he was about to see the light of heaven!
Very quickly, under the professional maneuvers of Li Heshan's team, Yu Xiuwen went from having won twenty million to losing it all back plus an additional five million. In the end, he gritted his teeth and lost all ten million yuan of his principal.
Yu Linglong, standing beside Mu Jinyu, was inwardly astonished, thinking that indeed, nine out of ten bets were deceptions. She had told Yu Xiuwen so many times but he just wouldn't believe it. Now, if he could see this surveillance footage, he would know just how foolish he had been!
"Uncle should be calling soon to borrow money from me!"
Mu Jinyu turned to Yu Linglong with a smile and spoke softly.
Like the whisper of a devil.
No sooner had he spoken,
"Ding-a-ling!"
The ringtone of Yu Linglong's phone followed.
