He had just married a policewoman when he was diagnosed with criminal genius.

Lu Chen's face remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

It actually happened...

The reason he risked sneaking into the casino was, as he had told Jiang Xue, partly to confirm whether it was indeed a casino.

On the other hand, he harbored a selfish motive: he wanted to see if the system would count him as having completed his mission if he won ten million while undercover.

He didn't have high hopes, since the money ultimately didn't belong to him and would most likely not be included in the reward.

Unexpectedly, he actually got stuck in this bug.

A task that was originally almost impossible was thus accomplished dramatically.

When Lu Chen heard that pleasant system notification sound, he felt his heart skip a beat.

Despite his excitement, he knew very well that now was not the time to check the rewards.

He smiled and looked at Boss Qian across from him: "Boss Qian, are you coming again?"

Boss Qian's face turned ashen; he was caught in a dilemma.

He had seen far too many so-called "experts".

At first, they were all riding high, thinking that with some skills they could do whatever they wanted. In the end, they all fell into his hands. Their hands were shaking when they signed the IOU, and they begged for mercy, crying and begging for forgiveness.

But today, none of that works.

In the previous rounds, no matter what methods he used, he couldn't gain any advantage over Lu Chen.

Not only did they fail to win back their chips, but they also allowed the other side to accumulate ten million in chips.

Should we continue playing?

He couldn't guarantee he could turn the tide; in fact, he might lose even more miserably.

Should we stop here?

Ten million has gone down the drain for nothing. If word gets out, where will he put his face?

He could already hear the whispers of the gamblers around him.

Those gazes felt like needles pricking his back.

Boss Qian slowly stood up, walked to Lu Chen, and lowered his voice:

"Mr. Lu, I think you're a smart man. There's something I'd like to say to you."

Lu Chen said calmly, "Please speak, boss."

"This has never been a fair place to compete." Boss Qian's tone carried an undisguised threat. "Some become gods, some fall into the pit. The fact that you've made it this far proves you have the ability, but some abilities, if used in the wrong place, can be fatal."

Lu Chen met his gaze without fear: "I've remembered what the boss said."

Boss Qian stared at him for two seconds, then finally squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "Give him the money."

Soon, the dealer brought over a POS machine. A string of numbers appeared on the screen—10520042 yuan.

She swiped her card and then presented a brand new bank card with both hands: "Mr. Lu, this is the money you won. The password is six sixes."

Some of the gamblers around him stared wide-eyed, unaware that their cigarettes were burning their fingers.

Someone stared intently at the bank card, their Adam's apple bobbing up and down, their gaze seemingly glued to it.

They've seen people win money, but they've never seen anyone win ten million here and actually take it away successfully.

In those eyes, there was hunger, there was envy, but above all, there was an undisguised greed.

Old Li never expected that this young man would win more than ten million from the casino owner.

It only took half an hour to go from two hundred yuan to ten million!

That's incredible!

Lu Chen knew in his heart that the casino would never let him take the money away like that.

Once he's outside that door, they have countless ways to make him disappear, and the money will eventually come back to them.

But he didn't care.

Because they have no future.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly: "Thanks, boss. But you probably won't have a chance to get this money back."

Mr. Qian's expression changed, and combined with the unusual commotion outside, his heart sank.

"Damn it..." His pupils constricted sharply. "Run! It's the cops!"

The mask of composure on his face finally shattered completely at this moment.

Boss Qian couldn't understand why none of the lookouts outside had informed him.

The police had already reached the door when he heard the noise. In that instant, only one thought remained in his mind: It's over.

The entire casino was in an uproar.

Screams, the clatter of tables and chairs, and hurried footsteps mingled together, like a pot of boiling porridge. Gamblers scattered in all directions, some knocking over tables and scattering chips everywhere; others tried to run to the back door but were blocked.

At this moment, the most devastated person, besides Boss Qian, is Old Li.

While everyone else was desperately fleeing, Old Li stood still, shouting at the top of his lungs, "I just won 800,000! 800,000! Who wants my 800,000 first?!"

He was devastated at this moment. He had won 800,000 for the first time in his life, but before he could even get the money, the casino was raided by the police.

This is just too tragic.

Even though Old Li shouted himself hoarse, no one paid him any attention.

The door to the private room was kicked open from the outside, and more than a dozen heavily armed police officers filed in.

"Police! Don't move! Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat down!"

Boss Qian's hands were tied behind his back, and the cold metallic touch came from his wrists.

His face was pressed to the ground, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Chen, the young man he thought was a "master". At this moment, Lu Chen was leaning against the wall with a calm expression.

He understood everything.

Jiang Xue practically rushed into the scene.

Her gaze cut through the chaotic crowd and immediately locked onto Lu Chen, who was leaning against the wall. She quickly stepped forward and scanned him from head to toe, making sure there were no injuries.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Her voice was low, but it couldn't hide the worry surging within it.

"It's nothing," Lu Chen smiled.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xue's fist came down, but the moment it touched Lu Chen, she released all her strength and only lightly touched his clothes.

"Don't do that again next time," Jiang Xue said softly, her eyes red.

To outsiders, it looked like flirting.

"I understand," Lu Chen replied softly.

I felt a pang of heartache.

Old Li, who was handcuffed, finally realized that the "Brother Lu" who had helped him win money, the god of wealth he thought he had, was actually an undercover police officer.

His mouth tasted bitter, and he felt completely drained of energy. He muttered, "People's hearts are no longer what they used to be... People's hearts are no longer what they used to be..."

Lu Chen heard this, glanced back at Old Li, and said nothing.

There are no real winners in a casino.

If it weren't for him today, Old Li would have been completely devoured by other people and through other means sooner or later, leaving not even a trace of his bones.

After getting everyone under control, Ding Jianguo walked up to Lu Chen with a beaming smile.

Today, the Yuhua branch of the Public Security Bureau finally got some recognition.

The "Clean Breeze Against Gambling" publicity campaign was originally a routine operation uniformly deployed by the Municipal Bureau, and all districts were carrying it out.

He only hoped not to hold the team back. But who could have imagined that before the promotional campaign had even officially ended, his team would raid a large gambling den?

Not those small, roadside mahjong parlors.

It wasn't a poker game between three or five people in a residential building, but rather this well-organized, heavily fortified underground casino.

He had just glanced at the preliminary count of gambling funds. The cash seized on the spot alone filled an entire table.

Ding Jianguo knew very well that the amount of money involved in this case would probably rank among the top three in the city's anti-gambling campaign this year.

Thinking of this, his smile deepened.

This time, the Yuhua branch completely overshadowed the other branches.

On the day of the anti-gambling publicity campaign, we happened to raid a large gambling den. If you told others about it, you'd feel incredibly proud.

Which of the following can escape the notices from the municipal bureau, the headlines in the media, and the praise from the leaders?

All of this is thanks to two people.

Ding Jianguo's gaze fell on Lu Chen and Jiang Xue, and his smile contained a hint of genuine appreciation.
