Mingzai looked miserable. He had really been through a lot with this gambling addiction. He had been "tortured" by Lin Wanzhen before and hadn't gambled for a while.

However, with the rise of the Jiaolong Gang, he is known as Brother Ming by everyone. And because he integrated the supply channels of nearby merchants, allowing these merchants to buy the freshest but most reasonably priced goods, he is also known as Little Ming by many people.

As he walked through the territory of the Jiaolong Gang, many shops brought him food and drinks, and his confidence began to soar. Although most of the money was kept and managed by Xiong Ge, he still had a small amount of living expenses.

The gambler has relapsed into his old ways.

But this time things didn't go well. Whenever he gambled, no matter what kind of place or what kind of game he played, he lost from beginning to end. He was so dizzy and short of breath that he even suspected that the people playing the game were cheating.

But he didn't dare take his brothers to seek revenge, as it would attract the attention of Xiong Ge and his gang, and he couldn't find any evidence that the other party had cheated.

He was unwilling to give up, so he continued to gamble. For two months in a row, he didn't win a single game. He lost so much that he didn't even have money for food. Lin Wanzhen also stipulated that the brothers of the Jiaolong Gang were not allowed to eat and take things for free, so he could only carefully mooch off one meal here and another there.

Those days were truly awful!

He only recently learned that the sight of gambling paraphernalia triggered a reflexive feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath, and that those people were all arranged by Xiong Ge and his group to help him quit gambling. And this seemingly gentle woman in front of him had once suggested...

"Find someone to set him up in a gambling trap, make him lose and can't pay it back, then break his finger. The pain of a broken finger should teach him a lesson, right?"

Xiong Ge was soft-hearted and felt sorry for his brother who had grown up with him. He discussed it with A Fa and Da Ya for a long time and put in a lot of effort to help him quit gambling.

When the matter was brought up, Xiong Ge didn't mention Wan Zhen's words. It was Lin Wan Zhen herself who told him, and when she said it, she smiled so beautifully and gently.

"If their tricks don't work, I'll use my method, Mingzai. Don't worry, I'll find the fastest person to do it. Crack! It'll break in one go, the break will be clean, and it can still be put back together."

Now she smiled gently and asked him if he had really quit gambling.

Mingzai felt a pain in his fingers: "I've quit, I've quit. Seeing these things not only makes me feel tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, but my fingers also hurt."

"Alright then." Lin Wanzhen fiddled with the playing cards in her hand, her tone somewhat regretful.

Mingzai had an urge to put his hands behind his back, and suddenly stood up: "Grandma, Xiong-ge, let me help you."

Lin Wanzhen burst out laughing. Although Mingzai had a lot of flaws, he was easygoing, could take a joke, and had a good temperament. She was closer to him than to Daya Afa.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Wanzhen and her friends went out to eat and ran into Yao Qian at the restaurant.

"President Lin?"

"Attorney Yao, Happy New Year! Want to go out for dinner?"

"Happy New Year! Today is a family reunion dinner. I didn't expect that you would also choose to eat here."

Attorney Yao's family gathering was large, and they had booked a large private room. The door was half open, and after Lin Wanzhen said a few words to him, she left. They had arrived early and had already finished eating.

The person inside asked him after he came in, "Who is it? A client of the law firm?"

"Yes, it's Lin Wanzhen, the one I mentioned before," Yao Qian said as he sat down. The Yao family is a family with a long history in law and medicine, and most of its members work in these two fields.

Such families still hold a very high status in Hong Kong.

"That legendary Lin Wanzhen you admire?" his girlfriend asked.

"Yes, that's right, I just happened to be having dinner here with my family."

The Yao family was just exchanging a few casual words, and were about to change the subject when a young man to Yao Qian's left suddenly spoke up: "Third Uncle, does she have a boyfriend?"

Yao Qian was taken aback. The speaker was Yao Junze, a genius from the Yao family. He had shown extremely high intelligence since childhood, completed his medical school course abroad at the age of eighteen, and is now the youngest thoracic surgeon in Hong Kong.

The entire private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Yao Junze was so intelligent that he always seemed to be on a different level from everyone else around him. He rarely showed such curiosity about a stranger's private affairs.

"I don't think so, Junze, you," Yao Qian said hesitantly.

Yao Junze, however, had already turned to the elderly gentleman at the head of the table and asked, "Grandpa, if I were to marry into another family, would you agree?"

"Cough cough cough." The old man at the head of the table coughed in surprise.

"Junze," another elderly man next to the old man said, patting his back with his younger brother while looking at his grandson.

The Yao family started out with two brothers, one a lawyer and the other a doctor.

"Grandpa, are you objecting?"

He took a deep breath: "No, that's not what I meant. You, well, whatever, do as you please. Anyway, the Yao family has many descendants."

Yao Qian's girlfriend was very curious. Based on her understanding of the Yao family, she knew that their reaction to the topic of marrying into the family shouldn't be like this.

Yao Qian explained in a low voice, "Junze is different. Since he was a child, no one has been able to stop him from doing what he wants to do."

When he was five years old, he decided that he wanted to study medicine. His parents teased him by saying that they thought he was more suited to study law. So he spent half a month memorizing a huge medical book to prove that he was more suited to study medicine.

The whole family was shocked. Five-year-old Junze calmly said, "I know you're teasing me, but I want to prove it."

Junze is not picky about many things; he doesn't care what he eats or wears. But once he makes a decision, no amount of opposition from anyone in the family will help. He will always tell you in the most unexpected way that his decision is right.

Yao Junze's father asked, somewhat reluctantly, "Even if you want to pursue Miss Lin, why do you insist on marrying into her family?"

"Based on what my third uncle said about her, she must be a very opinionated person. She would never lack men and would have a wide range of choices. Someone like me would have almost no advantage in her eyes, so I have to do everything I can to get her attention." Yao Junze analyzed calmly, looking serious as if he were conducting a very rigorous scientific research project.

The Yao family's prized genius doctor has no advantages?

"You're so outstanding, you shouldn't lack advantages," Aunt Yao tried to correct her nephew's thinking.

"Aunt, it depends on who you're dealing with. Against that Miss Lin, my advantages are completely useless."

Aunt Yao picked up her wine glass, took a sip, shrugged, indicating that she had tried to persuade him, but failed!

Yao Junze's mother poured cold water on her son's enthusiasm: "Junze, there's no use saying these things now. Miss Lin might not even like you. After all, you're quite boring."

Very well, the only one who can say a few words to Yao Junze is his mother!

Yao Junze seriously reflected on his life and didn't find it boring at all!
