With a knife pressed between his fingers, the man trembled uncontrollably. The sheer terror of losing control over his own body paralyzed him. Yet, the bearded man merely sneered and pushed the blade even closer. “As the saying goes, real gold fears no fire. Why are you shaking? I haven’t even started searching yet!”
The casino’s security guards had long since taken their positions nearby. Judging by the situation, it was clear that the yellow-skinned foreigner was indeed cheating. Rather than intervene, they simply crossed their arms and observed silently.
Their inaction spoke volumes—they had already given tacit approval.
In any casino, cheating was the ultimate taboo!
Like lifting a helpless chick, the bearded man hauled his opponent up by the collar. Then, in full view of the gathered crowd, he began stripping the man’s clothes off, piece by piece!
The accused man bit his lip, stunned into silence.
Yet, even after removing every last item—leaving him in nothing but his underwear—there was still no sign of any cheating tools.
And that underwear was so tight-fitting that it left absolutely no room to hide anything!
Not even the smallest, most inconspicuous device was found.
The bearded man’s expression stiffened completely. He flipped the man over, searching him again, but found nothing.
At last, the nearly naked man lifted his head and roared, “If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t gamble! I wasn’t the only one you lost to—so why are you only searching me? Now I see what’s happening here! You’re nothing but a coward who bullies the weak!”
The murmurs among the spectators grew louder. The accused man scooped up his clothes and began putting them on while snorting coldly, “Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now? Didn’t you say you’d give me a million if you wrongly accused me? Well, I’m standing here, stripped bare! If you don’t pay up, I’ll drag you straight to the police station!”
Oh? So now he was fighting back.
Leng Yiyao blinked calmly, interest flickering in her eyes. Then, she glanced upward—toward the security cameras.
With 800 gambling tables in the casino and at least 400 cameras in the main hall alone, the entire place was under 360-degree surveillance, without a single blind spot.
Yet, despite this dramatic scene unfolding for so long, not a single casino manager had appeared—only the security guards.
Her lips curled into a faint, knowing smile.
Zhai Mu’s gaze paused on her for a moment. Then, after a long silence, he looked away.
This woman… her attention wasn’t on the gamblers at all.
Amid the commotion, the other players at the table rose to their feet, their expressions filled with disgust. It was clear that the excitement had soured into irritation, and they were ready to leave. Just as they were about to walk away, a man in a white robe suddenly stepped in front of them, blocking their path.
This man had naturally curly hair and a smile as bright as a crescent moon, with two dimples on his cheeks.
Yet, the moment he spoke, the entire chaotic hall fell silent.
“Ladies and gentlemen, my master is in the VIP suite upstairs. He requests that you all accompany me there. Rest assured, we will provide a proper explanation for what happened today.”
Leng Yiyao’s lips curled imperceptibly as she fixed her gaze on the young man before her.
So… the casino’s management hadn’t ignored the commotion. They were simply waiting for their boss’s orders.
The young man finished speaking—then suddenly turned toward Leng Yiyao and walked straight to her side.
“Miss Leng, my master has personally invited you as well.”
Miss Leng…?
She lowered her lashes and let out a soft chuckle.
All she had done was casually observe the situation, hoping to gather some intel on the casino’s operations—perhaps even use this opportunity to establish connections with the powerful forces behind it.
She never expected…
She suddenly lifted her gaze, her eyes burning with curiosity as she looked toward the VIP suite upstairs. Could it be… an old acquaintance?
