Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 252 Gambling

Perhaps Mr. Zhu never dreamed that the young man in front of him would be so ruthless in his actions.

"what!!"

Looking at Master Zhu lying on the table, Guo Yongfei, who was standing behind him, felt his scalp go numb and he staggered and fell to the ground.

“Kill, kill, kill…kill!!”

Guo Yongfei's legs went weak and he felt his stomach churning. He couldn't even breathe. He opened his mouth and fell to the ground. Finally, he couldn't help but vomit all the acid.

When people are extremely frightened, their gastrointestinal tract will contract. Excessive contraction can lead to gastrointestinal spasm, and vomiting is a very common thing.

Xiao Ran shook her head. She knew Guo Yongfei was a rookie, but she didn't expect him to be so terrible.

He grabbed Guo Yongfei with one hand, opened the door and walked out.

The people outside the door had already been knocked unconscious by the collision just now, and now when they saw Xiao Ran coming out, they unconsciously took a few steps back.

At this time, Guo Yongfei was like a dead dog. It would be more accurate to say that he was being dragged by Xiao Ran and sliding on the ground rather than walking.

Just as Xiao Ran left, screams and exclamations were heard from the office behind.

But these have nothing to do with Xiao Ran.

After leaving the dance hall with Guo Yongfei, Xiao Ran even felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he could have come later and experienced the characteristics of Qin City.

Only when a cool breeze blew outside did Guo Yongfei recover and looked at Xiao Ran in front of him with a look of horror.

"Brother, our relationship...is not so strong that you would kill someone for me, right?"

Guo Yongfei's face was dark. At this time, he had already begun to think about what consequences this incident would bring to him.

The best outcome would be for the police to investigate me, release me after confirming that I had nothing to do with the incident.

But he didn't dare to think too much about whether he would be retaliated against after being released.

But Guo Yongfei's words made Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing.

"You're overthinking it. This has nothing to do with you."

It's no wonder that Guo Yongfei didn't understand what Mr. Zhu was thinking. If this kid were to go out into the underworld, he would probably be sold out and have to count money for others.

What does it mean to help Xiao Ran?
It's obvious that they are just trying to rob their fellow thieves.

If Xiao Ran was an ordinary person.

They forced Guo Yongfei to take out the so-called things

Guo Yongfei couldn't produce the things, so those people really dared to beat him to death.

At that time, Master Zhu spread his hands and said, "Hey, brother, look, because of your matter, I have been involved in a murder lawsuit. Do you want to show some respect?"

There are many people who can casually take out a bribe of 40,000 yuan, but it is rare to see someone give up and leave immediately after just two questions. Either they are doing things for others, or this person is not short of money at all, and 40,000 yuan is a drop in the bucket for him and he doesn't care about it at all.

If Guo Yongfei takes out the thing, and if it is really a treasure, Mr. Zhu will make a fortune.

The thing fell into Master Zhu's hands. Xiao Ran wanted to take it back, but Master Zhu would not give up until he emptied the family's wealth.

It might even be uncertain whether you can even get out of the door.

If it's not paper money, I'm sorry, but you should still give me some token of your appreciation for your hard work.

This is the Jianghu.
What is the morality of the underworld? If you are close to someone, then there is morality.

If it doesn't matter, I'm sorry, but you are no different from the pigs and sheep delivered to the door.

This is why it is said that in the underworld, friendship is important, not morality.

So Xiao Ran’s action actually had nothing to do with Guo Yongfei.

It's just that a simple-minded person like Guo Yongfei couldn't see that Mr. Zhu was planning to take advantage of his fellow criminals.

As for killing Master Zhu, Xiao Ran had nothing to worry about. He was just trying to eliminate evil.

In addition, Mr. Zhu is not a beginner, but he is a gangster.

Jianghu matters, Jianghu matter.

Although the company will not give any commendation, it will not pursue the matter either.

After Xiao Ran went out, he called Zhong Yi. After telling him the general situation on the phone, Zhong Yi only confirmed the identity of this Mr. Zhu.

After confirming that he was not an ordinary citizen, he simply said: "When you come back, remember to bring me some local specialties."

Xiao Ran guessed that the people in the company had already started dealing with the matter.

"Let's go, let's go eat something first. This is my first time here, you should at least let me have a full meal. I heard that Qin City has a lot of delicious food."

Xiao Ran casually put his hand on Guo Yongfei's shoulder.

When Guo Yongfei felt the scorching heat on Xiao Ran's palm, he felt goose bumps all over his body and his face turned terribly pale.

He could not forget that Xiao Ran had just used these same hands to break Master Zhu's neck.

"Why are you shaking?"

"No... not shaking, then let's go?"

"well……"

Guo Yongfei had a sad face and wanted to take Xiao Ran to the subway, but Xiao Ran could see through his little thoughts.

He simply pinched his shoulders, took him to the roadside, stopped a taxi, and stuffed Guo Yongfei in without saying a word.

With Guo Yongfei as his guide, Xiao Ran first went to the Bell Tower Night Market and tasted the so-called authentic water basin mutton.

Well...to be honest, the meat is a bit small, only two slices of meat for 20 yuan.

In comparison, the 20-dollar mutton soup in Los Angeles gives a lot more. At most, you can add a pancake and then just soak it yourself.

As for the taste, it’s okay.

At least Xiao Ran could get used to the food.

After eating the mutton in a basin, the next thing to eat is beef stewed with steamed buns.

Seeing Guo Yongfei sitting aside and looking like he couldn't eat anymore, Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you still have to eat. Bring me a few more skewers of mutton later. Eat well and you can get going."

Guo Yongfei didn't hear anything else clearly, but he heard the last sentence "good luck on your journey". His pupils tightened and he stared at Xiao Ran in horror for a long time. Finally, he turned his head and looked at the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"I'll eat! Even if I die, I'll die full!"

The boy suddenly yelled, and then started stuffing the bowl and chopsticks into his mouth, eating with tears in his eyes, which made everyone look back at him.

Xiao Ran explained: "I'm sorry, my brother just broke up."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two men staggered back to Guo Yongfei's home and opened the door.

"Om~~"

The rusty iron door made a harsh buzzing sound.

Guo Yongfei walked into the gate of the courtyard with a dusty face, opened the door, entered the house, and sat down on a bench.

Guo Yongfei hadn't come to his senses until Xiao Ran walked in.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran didn't beat around the bush with him. He took out a coin and put it in his hand: "Don't you like gambling? How about we make a bet?"

When he heard the word "gambling", Guo Yongfei suddenly became excited.

"What are you betting on??"

"If I lose, I'll give you money, 100,000 each time. If you lose a finger, how about we bet on the literal meaning?"

"One hundred thousand? Really?"

"If you don't believe me, try it." Xiao Ran threw the coin out, and then the coin fell in the air and was easily caught by Xiao Ran: "Words or flowers."

"Character!"

Guo Yongfei stared with wide eyes. When Xiao Ran lifted his hand off the table, his face changed. The next second, Xiao Ran had already grabbed his wrist, and with a sharp knife, a finger was cut off.

"what!!"

Veins throbbed on Guo Yongfei's face and he felt excruciating pain.

Xiao Ran calmly wiped the blood off the knife and continued, "This round is 200,000. Do you want to bet?"

"bet!!"

Guo Yongfei's eyes were red: "Words!"

"puff!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Four hundred thousand! Do you want to bet?"

"Character!!"

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"Character!!"

Blood was dripping down the table and Guo Yongfei's consciousness was beginning to blur. Seeing this, Xiao Ran took out a silver needle to help him stop the bleeding, then stood up and was about to leave.

"and many more."

Guo Yongfei raised his head: "I want to bet again, word!!"

Xiao Ran looked at Guo Yongfei's bloody hand and shook his head: "You have lost all ten fingers, what can you gamble with? Toes? Forget it, I don't want them."

"I bet, I bet, you came here just to get the things my grandma left behind, I'll give it to you."

Guo Yongfei took a deep breath and glanced at the roof beam, and saw a bamboo basket hanging there.

"Right up there."

Xiao Ran looked up, but didn't see anything different, so he leaped up, stepped on the wall and jumped onto the beam, then looked into the basket.

There was a stone inside.

“Is this it??”

Xiao Ran took the stone down, looked at it carefully under the light, and immediately became suspicious.

This stone is neither jadeite nor white marble. Xiao Ran can't tell whether it is a treasure or not.

"Don't underestimate this thing because it's just a piece of stone. It's the last inheritance my grandma left me."

Guo Yongfei looked at the stone. He had sold all the things his grandmother left him, except this stone. He didn't dare to even think about it.

In his grandmother's words, he had an extremely bad fate and without the stone pressing down on him, he would not survive more than three days.

This is their family's talisman. As long as it is there, he will be safe.

Now that the gambling has reached this point and even his hands are broken, what else does Guo Yongfei care about?

It's better to give it a try.

If I win, I will have someone to rely on for the rest of my life.

Xiao Ran looked at the stone carefully and felt the stone in his hand. Although he could not figure out what it was, he could feel that there seemed to be a warm heat inside the stone.

I opened it and took a look. There were three words carved on the back of the stone: [Shi Gan Dang]

"Could it be Taishan stone?"

But on second thought, it seems too ordinary, right? ?

"Okay, since you want to gamble, I'll satisfy you."

It's harmless anyway. Although Xiao Ran can snatch it, considering that the other party's grandmother might have some relationship with his grandfather, Xiao Ran is willing to take a gamble with Guo Yongfei.

“This time, I’ll throw it myself.”

"can."

Xiao Ran put the coin on Guo Yongfei's wrist. Guo Yongfei threw it upward with force. The coin spun several times in the air and fell heavily on the table.

"Ding! Dong! Da da da da..."

After the coin turned several circles on the table, it finally stopped on the pattern. Suddenly, Guo Yongfei's blood ran cold. He stared blankly at the coin on the table, regretting his decision to the core.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and my vision went dark, and I was about to faint.

At the moment when my consciousness was about to blur, only one thought flashed through my mind: "If I had known, I would not have gambled..."

I don’t know how long it took.

When Guo Yongfei woke up again, it was already dawn outside.

The back of my head was hurting so much that I subconsciously raised my hand to touch it. As a result, when I raised my hand, I found that the finger that was cut off last night had grown back.

But each finger still feels a little sore.

"This……"

Guo Yongfei looked at his recovered finger and an expression of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face. He looked down again and found that there were 50,000 yuan, a letter and a hairpin on the table.

“Could it be him!!”

He opened the envelope and found only one line of words inside: "Take the things and we are done with each other. Leave the fifty thousand yuan and the hairpin as a token of my appreciation to grandma."

"Just go if you want to go. Why don't you show some appreciation when you were slashing me last night?"

Guo Yongfei curled his lips, picked up the silver hairpin, played with it in his hand for a few times, and then threw it on the table. The silver hairpin was very light and it was estimated that it would not be sold for much money, but the 50,000 yuan was real money.

Guo Yongfei held the 50,000 yuan, put it under his nose and took a deep breath. The smell of money was simply penetrating.

only……

When Guo Yongfei thought about the bet that Xiao Ran had raised to three million last night, he suddenly felt like he had missed the lottery jackpot.

"Almost, just a little bit, I'd be a millionaire, damn it!"

Thinking of the three million that he had missed, Guo Yongfei looked at the thin fifty thousand yuan on the table, picked up the fifty thousand yuan and walked out the door, taking out his cell phone as he walked: "Brother Zhang, where are you? Let's play a few more games. Oh, I have money..."
