It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 435 [084] Psychological warfare raises the price
After receiving the invitation from Mr. Zhao, Qin Jiandan was not in a hurry to leave the casino.

"Eh? Jiandan, what do you mean? Why did you change your mind and let me gamble as much as I want, and even asked me for more free chips?"

Han Tiancheng was holding a huge pile of chips, feeling excited but also confused.

Qin Jiandan: "You have to lose it anyway, and the Bio-Intelligence Team is happy to do this kind of favor. Now that Mr. Zhao has something to ask of me, and he invites me to go, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I go right away? Wait a little longer and let him double the price he wants to pay for the medicine."

Zhao Dechang is a man of unkind wealth, a guy who even Zhu Shengzhi is jealous of for his ability to plunder people's wealth. Qin Jiandan has no psychological burden in exploding his gold coins.

Han Tiancheng arranged the newly acquired chips one by one beside the gambling table and asked Wangyou to help look after them.

"Jian Dan, do you look down on me? With all these, how could I possibly lose them all? Look at me making a comeback and making your Bio-Intelligence Team lose everything!"

Perhaps knowing that he was too drunk to use his brain, Han Tiancheng avoided playing cards and chose roulette, which relied purely on luck.

An hour after his heroic speech—

"Damn it! How could I lose everything? I was so close! Why did the ball stop at 33? It clearly still had inertia, so why did it stop? The casino must be cheating!"

Qin Jiandan asked for some chips for his father-in-law, but he lost all of them within an hour. Qin Jiandan wondered if his father-in-law had some special ability that made him lose every time he gambled. Other gamblers were almost watching how Han Tiancheng placed his bets and then bought the opposite.

Uncle Wu walked over carefully and said, "Young Master, can you please ask Mr. Han to play something else? The Brainstorming Team will pay for it. Mr. Han didn't win any money in the casino, but others bet against him and won quite a lot..."

Qin Jiandan: "It's almost time for dinner, father-in-law, let's go! Tell Mr. Zhao to prepare a luxurious dinner, let's go and have a good meal!"

Han Tiancheng lost so much that he was jealous. He held onto the gambling table with both hands and refused to leave: "One more round! Jiandan, let me have another round! I clearly won a few rounds just now! One more round and I will definitely turn the tables..."

Qin Jiandan dragged his father-in-law away without saying a word. The cold wind outside made Han Tiancheng sober up a little.

Han Tiancheng sneaked out this time, not driving his usual black classic car, but a white minivan used by servants for shopping. In fact, the car had been lost to the casino, but it was returned for the sake of the young master.

Wangyou acted as the driver and easily found the location of Zhao Dechang's mansion according to the electronic map built into the dashboard.

In front of the metal door covered with complex carvings and laser security equipment, more than a dozen servants were already standing in two rows, bowing to greet them. After Wangyou received the young master's eye signal, he drove the van in smoothly.

Qin Jiandan, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, leaned back and asked Han Tiancheng, who was sitting in the back passenger seat:
“Father-in-law, this Zhao Dechang was originally from the inner city. Has he heard of him?”

"How come I haven't heard of it?" Han Tiancheng said, "I was still the deputy chief of police when he committed a crime and fled! He opened a business under the Han family and shot and killed his partner because of a financial dispute... Of course, he claimed it was self-defense."

"He later fled to the outer city and evaded several assassination attempts by bounty hunters. I heard that he was doing quite well. I didn't expect his garden to be so large..."

Looking out the car window, the gloomy weather did not detract from the luxury of this private garden. A variety of spotlights were used to create a garden space that was both classical and modern. Sculptures and various rare plants were integrated and complemented each other. Genetically modified fluorescent plants were everywhere, dotting the ground like a starry sky.

Such a tasteful oasis would naturally isolate the poor. Zhao Dechang used various methods to buy land from the poor. If one wanted to be his neighbor, one had to be at least a prominent figure in the local area.

The private garden covers a huge area. It took Wangyou 10 minutes to drive from the garden entrance to the main gate of the villa. Qin Jiandan used this time to tell his father-in-law:
"Zhao Dechang has amassed so much wealth and lives a life in the outer city that is no less than that of the three major families. How despicable! Just follow my lead when I say something to you, father-in-law. I want to see how much flesh he is willing to sacrifice for his medical treatment!"

Qin Jiandan was ready to bargain with Zhao Dechang, but he did not meet Zhao Dechang himself immediately. He only met Zhao Dechang's old housekeeper.

The old butler called himself "Lao Zhao". He had a gloomy look and was as thin as a vulture. He was wearing a black Chinese butler suit that combined traditional Zhongshan suit elements with modern tailoring design, with delicate patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

"Young Master of the Night Dragon Society, and Mr. Han Tiancheng, our master is very grateful for your presence."

Lao Zhao stood upright at the main entrance to greet them and ushered Qin Jiandan and the others into the villa. Because his mouth was a speaker-type prosthesis, the sound was heavy with electronic music, and not much emotion could be heard.

Han Tiancheng walked behind Qin Jiandan and complained in a low voice: "Mouthless speaker cyborgs are rare nowadays. This type can't eat ordinary food and can only take nutritional supplements on time - how boring!"

Wangyou also agreed in a low voice, "I don't want to accept this kind of transformation, otherwise I won't be able to eat Miss Linlin... and the good things that the young master feeds me."

Qin Jiandan couldn't remember ever feeding Wangyou any good food, unless that thing could be considered a good thing.

If Nestor, the butler of Mu Yue's family, gives people a warm feeling of trustworthiness, then Lao Zhao, the butler of Zhao Dechang's family, gives people the feeling that he is definitely not a good person.

When passing by the long corridor covered with carpets and hung with landscape paintings, the other servants all bowed to Lao Zhao in a timid manner. Qin Jiandan had heard Doctor Li talk about some "psychological analysis" content. It is said that the "total amount of desire" of a person is a constant. If the conventional desire for food and sex is not satisfied, he will seek other outlets.

Eunuchs in power often do inconceivable cruel things, and this is probably the reason why there are more perverts in countries where the food is terrible.

Although there are more mature lip and chin prostheses in Huanshi City, Lao Zhao still uses the old-fashioned speaker prosthesis and completely gives up his desire for food.

Qin Jiandan classified Lao Zhao as a "pervert" in his heart - it was said that Lao Zhao was deeply trusted by Zhao Dechang, and had been Zhao Dechang's right-hand man in making money for many years, so he must have done a lot of immoral things.

"Young Master, Mr. Han, I'll give you some wine to welcome you. I hope you won't mind."

As the door of the banquet hall slowly opened, what came into view was a huge ink mural covering the entire wall. In front of the mural, a mahogany carved round table occupied the center of the hall. The table top was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the soft light cast by the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

The round table was covered with an exquisite silk tablecloth embroidered with gold-thread dragon and phoenix patterns, and on the tablecloth was placed a complete set of blue and white porcelain tableware, each piece of porcelain was painted with delicate patterns.

Every dish at the banquet was a carefully prepared Chinese delicacy. The first ones served were Longjing shrimp, Peking duck, Buddha jumps over the wall, Kung Pao chicken, steamed sea bass, followed closely by sweet and sour spare ribs and Yangzhou fried rice.

Although the exact ingredients may not be available in Huanshicheng, the kitchen has done its best to select the most similar ingredients to meet the needs of the customers.

"Hmm, it smells so good, so good." Han Tiancheng drank several bottles of wine on an empty stomach and was now feeling hungry. He looked at Qin Jiandan and asked if he could sit down.

Qin Jiandan was not as useless as his father-in-law. He glanced at the dishes - there were only three of them on his side, but they were going to such great lengths and wasting money. It was obvious how extravagant Mr. Zhao was in his daily life.

Butler Lao Zhao has the means to eat all the delicacies from land and sea, but he still refuses to replace the prosthetic speaker in his mouth. It can be seen that he is deeply perverted and has an unimaginable way to vent his emotions.

"Everyone," Old Zhao said, holding his hands together and bowing, "My master is not in good health and cannot come to eat with us. I hope you won't mind. I will stand here and serve you. If the young master has any questions or needs, just tell him directly."

Qin Jiandan heard about it, and Zhao Dechang hurriedly bought some foreign paste to eat, but he ended up vomiting and having diarrhea, and almost died.

"Well, then we won't be polite." Qin Jiandan said and asked his father-in-law and Wangyou to sit on his left and right sides respectively.

Seeing Wangyou sitting down directly, Lao Zhao raised his eyebrows as if he had a nerve pain, and said with a little displeasure: "Master and servant have their own roles, and as a maid, do you actually have to eat at the same table with the young master?"

Wangyou was stunned, because at the Yelonghui headquarters, the young master always ate at the same table with everyone else, and he got used to it over time. He didn't expect that there was an old feudal here.

Qin Jiandan didn't want to explain too much to Lao Zhao, so he said casually: "Wangyou has the duty of testing poisons outside, so she must eat at the same table with me. Is there a problem?"

"..."

Old Zhao hesitated for a moment and finally compromised: "It's my fault for not knowing the truth. I didn't even know that Yelong would have such a rule."

Under Lao Zhao's instructions, the servants continued to serve the dishes, regardless of whether Qin Jiandan and others could finish them or not.

Qin Jiandan noticed that most of these servants were men, and most of them were fair-skinned and beardless, without even a stubble. He couldn't help but wonder if they had undergone castration.

Some nouveau riche, having made a few bucks, attempted to restore the monarchy in their own homes, using high salaries to attract servants to castrate themselves. However, in Huanshi City, prosthetic penises could be purchased on any black market, so this method could not actually protect the chastity of wives and concubines.

After being warned by Lao Zhao, Wangyou was silent for a while and hesitated to pick up his chopsticks. Qin Jiandan urged: "What are you standing there for, poison tester? Eat a roast duck roll quickly, and also roll one for me and my father-in-law!"

Wangyou took action immediately and rolled the first roast duck roll in an extremely neat and professional manner. After looking at Qin Jiandan, he ate it himself and then rolled the second one.

When she handed the rolled roast duck to Qin Jiandan with both hands, Qin Jiandan refused to open his mouth, but stared at Wangyou's face seriously.

Wangyou asked curiously, "Young Master, why don't you eat? Did I do something wrong?"

Qin Jiandan: "A poison tester must have the consciousness of a poison tester... I'm waiting for you to die from the poison. Don't worry, I will avenge you and take good care of your five sisters."

Looking back at his father-in-law who was already drooling over his mouth, Qin Jiandan sighed, "It seems that there is no poison. Lao Zhao, the table is so big, why don't you just sit opposite me and talk to me about your master's affairs."
