"Captain, Chen Shaoping is out. Strange, why is he out so early today?"

Chen Shaoping walked out with a big smile on his face, carrying something in his arms.

"Don't speak, just follow him."

Chen Shaoping did not go home, but booked a room at a nearby guesthouse, while Zhang Qingshan and Xiao Li booked the room next to his.

"Xiao Li, go get some sleep first, I'll keep watch."

"Captain, I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep first, I'll keep watch."

Zhang Qingshan thought Chen Shaoping probably wouldn't go out right now; he was also a bit tired, having not slept well for two days and two nights.

"Okay, keep an eye on him. If he goes out, make sure to wake me up."

"Captain, don't worry."

Zhang Qingshan fell asleep as soon as he lay down, while Xiao Li pressed his ear against the wall to listen to Chen Shaoping's movements.

Chen Shaoping lay down to sleep, clutching the money in the bag. He had just counted the money; he was really lucky tonight.

I borrowed 1,000 from Brother Biao and won a total of over 38,000, and I've already paid him back the 1,000 I owed. Afraid of losing more money, I stopped gambling and left the casino before 4 PM today.

"Brother Biao, are we just going to let Chen Shaoping go like this?" the underling asked, puzzled.

"What's the rush? He'll come back. Have you ever seen a gambler who isn't greedy?"

He's still more than 10,000 short of breaking even, and even after that, he wants to win more money to buy a house and a car. Human desires are endless; people are never satisfied.

Sure enough, Chen Shaoping came again the next evening, this time dressed smartly.

Wearing jeans, a leather jacket, leather shoes, a new watch, and sunglasses, he wasn't afraid of falling over even though it was late at night.

"Oh! Mr. Chen looks so impressive today. Please have a seat. Go and bring Mr. Chen some snacks, fruit, and tea."

Fang Laicai, Wang Dabiao's henchman, immediately went over to greet Chen Shaoping as soon as he entered. Chen Shaoping had arrived a bit early; apart from the staff, there weren't many other customers at the casino.

"Okay, Brother Cai."

"Boss Chen, you won a lot of money last night. Everyone is so envious. Seeing how happy you are, you're sure to win even more tonight."

Chen Shaoping crossed his legs, smugly took out a dollar from his pocket, and tossed it to Fang Laicai.

"Here you go, I like hearing that."

Fang Laicai's face stiffened as he looked at the one-yuan coin in his pocket. "Pah! Trying to fob me off like this! Who do they think they are? Give him one yuan, and he earns several thousand a month. He wouldn't even bother to squat down and pick up a one-yuan coin if he saw one on the street."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Regardless of what Fang Laicai thought in his heart, he pretended to be grateful.

"Come on, Mr. Chen, have something to eat. I'll go get busy now. Just call me if you need anything."

"Okay, go ahead! I'll reward you handsomely if I win money tonight."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Chen. I wish you great success."

Fang Laicai thanked him verbally, but cursed under his breath as he went to find Wang Biao.

"Brother Biao, Chen Shaoping is here."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhang Qingshan and Xiao Li spent more than two hours shopping with Chen Shaoping this afternoon. Xiao Li couldn't understand why Chen Shaoping, a grown man, could shop so much.

She was very picky when buying things, comparing prices at three different stores, and completely changing herself inside and out. She must have spent a lot of money, which made Xiao Li a little envious.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

"Follow along! I just inquired and found out that Chen Shaoping won thirty or forty thousand last night."

Now we just have to wait for him to lose money and sell Zhou Shuyue's things, then we'll catch him red-handed.

"But when will he start losing money?"

"Don't worry! The casino won't let him win all the time."

They searched Chen Shaoping's house while he was away, but found nothing. Chen Shaoping was a college student, judging from his scheme to have his neighbors provide an alibi.

He's not simple, so Zhang Qingshan wouldn't arrest him easily without evidence. Even if he were arrested, he probably wouldn't admit to anything. He knows the law and isn't easily fooled.

Chen Shaoping didn't come out until six o'clock. He only came out after the casino closed, and it was already 7:30 in the morning.

Chen Shaoping walked out dejectedly, feeling deeply regretful. He knew he shouldn't have come last night.

Now he's not only lost all the money he won the night before last, but he also borrowed 20,000 yuan from Brother Biao. And he's lost it all, with only a dozen yuan left.

"Captain, he's losing money."

Xiao Li noticed that he had lost all his energy, looking like someone on TV whose spirit had been drained by a monster.

"Yes, I bet they borrowed money. Let's go! We'll go have breakfast too."

After having breakfast, Chen Shaoping bought a few bottles of beer before going home; he couldn't sleep without drinking beer after losing money.

Xiao Li followed him for the past few nights and realized how terrifying gambling was. It could take you to heaven overnight, or send you to hell in a single night.

Xia Yichu also knew about Chen Shaoping losing money; Wang Zhijie told her. A man from Wang Zhijie's village worked at the casino. Without Wang Zhijie even asking, just by inviting him for drinks, he would start revealing everything.

"Don't talk about this again, and don't try to get information from him."

Zhang Qingshan is investigating Chen Shaoping, so she should do nothing. Xia Yichu is certain that Zhou Shuyue died at Chen Shaoping's hands, just like in her previous life, probably because of money.

She didn't know why Chen Shaoping would gamble in this life; she'd never heard of him gambling in her past life. She didn't need to do anything now; she just had to wait for him to slip up and be caught by the police.

"it is good"

Just then, the sound of a car came from outside, and after a while, Xu Shaoyang walked in.

"Yichu, let's go! Zhijie's here too, what are you doing?"

When Xu Shaoyang came in, he saw Xia Yichu and Wang Zhijie talking. The puppy was nestled in Wang Zhijie's arms, looking very affectionate, indicating that Wang Zhijie had been visiting frequently lately.

"It's okay, you guys chat, I'll be going now."

Wang Zhijie stood up and carefully put the dog down.

"Zhijie, wait a minute, are you busy this morning?"

"It's nothing! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Zhijie continued to work as before, renting and selling houses near the school.

"Then come with us, I'll treat you to dinner, Yichu."

"Alright, let's go!"

Xia Yichu poured two bowls of water for the kittens and puppies. Xu Shaoyang watched as the cats and dogs ran over like madmen, then drank the water with their heads down as if they had been thirsty for a long time.

For some reason, Xu Shaoyang had a feeling that the water they drank must not only taste good, but also make their bodies feel comfortable.

Since Lin Xingcheng left, he hasn't been able to drink that strange water at Xia Yichu's place.

He only occasionally ate at Xia Yichu's house, and felt much better afterward. He watched the cats and dogs drinking water and swallowed hard; he wanted to drink too.

"Xu Shaoyang, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and move."

Xia Yichu called him from the doorway, while she and Wang Zhijie looked at him strangely from outside.

"Here it comes."

Xu Shaoyang suppressed the urge to grab a drink and reluctantly went to get his car. He had borrowed the car from a friend; today he was taking Xia Yichu to negotiate the land sale price with the people from Yunsheng Group.

Xu Shaoyang and the others have been negotiating the price back and forth these past few days, but they haven't reached an agreement yet. Yun Sheng Group offered 3.6 million, Xia Yichu wants to sell for 4 million, and her bottom line is 3.8 million.

After all, in his previous life, two yuan was sold for three million eight hundred thousand, and Xu Shaoyang thought it was worth selling for three million six hundred thousand. He hadn't expected the price to be so high.

Yun Sheng Group said they would give them three days to consider, and they would give a definite answer today.

Xu Shaoyang wanted to sell the land quickly, so he told Xia Yichu yesterday that she should go with him today so they could discuss the price on the spot, saving him the trouble of relaying messages back and forth.
