11. Interesting Things

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

In an alley between two residential buildings, an old woman, who was packing up her goods, asked with a lisp, “Yo, Fan, where did you go? Have you just returned from a trip? You are carrying such a big bag.”

“No, my mother sent me some specialties,” Ling Fan answered calmly.

“Oh, it appears that Chen XiaoHong is not a bad mother.”

“Er, maybe…” Ling Fan replied casually.

In fact, she was not fit to be a mother! In his previous life, his mother had stopped supported him and broke all links with him. Maybe she didn’t even know or care whether he was dead or alive.

“Here is 500 yuan. Please order me a bottle of fresh milk every day in the next three months.”

Ling Fan gave the old woman the money that he had swindled from that AG, and then dragged his heavy bag home.

He believed that he would soon become healthy with enough nutrients and more exercise.

Meanwhile, at the casino Rong Hua was surprised with Chu Xiao’s sudden arrival.

“Boss, why are you here?” he asked.

“Am I not welcome here?” Chu Xiao looked at his right-hand man Rong Hua and raised a questioning eyebrow.

“Of course not. Boss, my humble house is greatly honored by your presence. I’m just a little surprised.”

Chu Xiao said casually, “I was being followed, so I came here trying to shake them off.”

Rong Hua knew what Chu Xiao meant. His boss was a big man. It was no surprise that his boss was being followed. Rong Hua gave a smile and made no comment.

Suddenly, the casino manager came over and whispered in Rong Hua’s ear. Rong Hua’s smile disappeared to be replaced by a frown.

“What happened?” asked Chu Xiao.

“No big deal. It’s just a bit strange.”

“Oh? A bit strange? It must be interesting. Let’s check the surveillance videos.”

Soon the surveillance videos were sent to the office.

Rong Hua pointed at his computer screen and said, “Boss, look, it’s that short young man in the AG uniform. My men have inquired about him. He’s not an AG of our casino. I guess he got the uniform from someone else. He won 2.8 million in total and left a few minutes ago.”

“Sic Bo?”

“Yes.”

“He won 2.8 million in 23 minutes. Lucky boy! Is there a clear picture of him?”

Rong Hua frowned and said, “Er, that’s where the problem lies. He seems to know all the security cameras in our casino like the back of his hand, because he skillfully evaded all the cameras.”

The surveillance videos didn’t show his face. His figure was a blur.

Suddenly, Chu Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows. He was attracted by a picture of the surveillance video.

“What was he saying? Turn the volume up.”

Rong Hua turned the volume up. The surveillance video showed that the short young man tapped a man on the shoulder and handed him a yellow chip.

“Sir, you dropped a chip.”

“Thank you. Do you want to play with me?”

“No, thanks.”

……

Chu Xiao gestured for Rong Hua to turn off the surveillance video, and then he smiled and said casually, “Ha, that’s interesting.”

“Boss, we lost 2.8 million tonight. What shall we do next?”

“I think you should update the security system first, and then, mm, find out who that short fellow is.” It couldn’t be a coincidence that he evaded all the surveillance cameras.

Rong Hua promised, “Okay, I will do as you’ve advised. That fellow’s height is his most notable feature. I think I can find him soon.”

Rong Hua was confident, but he was doomed to be kicked in the teeth, because before long Ling Fan would no longer be a short guy. In other words, he couldn’t be found easily.
