We asked you to solve cases, and here you are sharing your criminal experiences?

The coal mine owner was the first to jump up, pointing his finger at Brother Hui and cursing him.

"Give me my money back! Spit my money back!"

"Does Shengshi Jia Hua have any shame? They're the dealers themselves, yet they're hiding their cards in their sleeves!"

"I lost nearly 30 million at this place, did you guys rip me off for it all?!"

The worst thing that can happen in a casino is for the dealer to be caught cheating, which is tantamount to ruining the casino's reputation.

Hui glared at Lao Wang. This old man usually boasts so much, but today he actually messed up right under someone's nose.

He slapped Old Wang's wrinkled face.

"Are you blind?! How dare you pull such a despicable trick in front of Boss Gu!"

Old Wang was knocked to the ground, covering his face and not daring to make a sound.

Hui Ge turned to his men and roared, "Drag this old bastard who broke the rules away and chop off that cheating hand!" Two security guards in black stepped forward and dragged Lao Wang away.

Hui rubbed his hands together and walked up to Gu Tingchen.

"Boss Gu, we were also fooled by this old bastard!"

He is now beginning to be wary of this Boss Gu in front of him.

A player who can hold down the King of Gamblers with one hand and casually shake out the cards from his sleeve is definitely a hidden master.

Gu Tingchen took out a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped his hands.

"Brother Hui, Jiangcheng is really impressive!"

Hui was sweating profusely.

"Mr. Gu, please calm down! The 30 million yuan draft you brought will be returned intact, and the 6 million yuan you just won is all yours."

Gu Tingchen coughed lightly.

Song Qianxia pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, her tone serious.

"Our CEO Gu's time is very valuable. Since your club is too expensive for us, we'll find another place."

Hui wiped his sweat and gestured for him to proceed.

"Boss Gu, please wait! These vulgar little stunts are certainly not worthy of your status."

"There are too many people watching outside. Our boss is in the tea room downstairs and has been wanting to get to know you for a long time. Would you do me the honor?"

Gu Tingchen leaned back in his chair and tapped the table twice with his fingers.

"lead the way."

Song Qianxia quickly swept all the drafts and chips on the table into her black briefcase.

His movements were so practiced, he looked just like a scalper who had just finished buying goods.

The two followed Hui Ge through the bustling casino.

We arrived at an iron gate with a sign that read "Employee Passage".

Pushing open the door, you'll find a small elevator that can only accommodate three people.

There were no floor buttons, so Hui took out a black room card and swiped it.

The elevator began to descend slowly.

Song Qianxia silently calculated the descent time in her mind.

A full thirty seconds, which means we were at least three levels underground.

I glanced at the materials used in the car; they were all made of explosion-proof military-grade steel.

If a bomb were hidden here, you wouldn't even hear it go off.

With a ding, the elevator doors opened, revealing a tea room decorated in an antique style.

A middle-aged man in his forties sat in front of the rosewood tea table.

The man was wearing a gray Tang suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and was playing with two walnuts in his hands.

Hui stepped forward and respectfully greeted, "Brother K, Boss Gu has arrived."

Gu Tingchen strode over and sat down opposite Old K.

Song Qianxia stood behind Gu Tingchen very consciously.

Old K poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gu Tingchen.

"Brother Hui told me everything that happened just now. It was our people who didn't know the rules, and we made Boss Gu laugh at us."

Gu Tingchen didn't even glance at the cup of tea.

"I came all this way not to watch you perform magic tricks."

"I just need a clean channel for the funds I have. I heard you guys have some connections, but after seeing this today, it seems you're not all that great."

Old K laughed, lowering his voice.

"Boss Gu is a man of few words. We've already witnessed your capabilities. However, the channel you desire cannot be accommodated by ordinary betting platforms."

"I wonder if Boss Gu is interested in the deep sea?"

Song Qianxia's eyelids twitched.

They took the bait!

Gu Tingchen remained expressionless, merely raising an eyebrow.

"Auction houses? I've heard the requirements are very high. I just returned to China, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a way in."

Old K took a tablet computer out of the drawer and pushed it in front of Gu Tingchen.

"As for the connections, Shengshi Jia Hua will help us make the arrangements. Getting an electronic invitation is not difficult at all."

"However, the rules of the deep sea are that money alone is not enough."

"Entry also requires a tangible item that can prove your identity."

Gu Tingchen leaned back in his chair, his tone languid.

"What kind of high-quality stuff?"

"A form of hard currency recognized in the underworld. It can be top-secret intelligence, top-tier weapons blueprints, or even..."

Old K pointed to the tablet screen.

The screen displays an interface similar to a dark web bounty list.

The message pinned at the very top flashed a glaring red light.

Gu Tingchen glanced at it, remaining expressionless.

Song Qianxia, ​​standing behind, also saw the message clearly.

Buyer: Viper.

[Request: High price offered for any used items from Qianmian. Bloodstained clothing and personal items are preferred. Must be able to verify biological residue.]

[Offer: US$20 million, or equivalent intelligence exchange.]

Song Qianxia's heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the folder in her hand.

Viper!

The intelligence broker whose knee she shot through in her past life.

This guy bought her old stuff to extract biological residue?!

Night Owl is looking for the Pandora Key.

The fact that Viper jumped out at this moment clearly shows that he wanted to trade the astronomical bounty with Night Owl!

Those bastards who had a grudge against her in her past life are still haunting her!

Gu Tingchen pushed the tablet back.

"I'm not interested in that kind of dead stuff. I understand the rules. Give me two days to prepare."

Song Qianxia wrinkled her nose and said, "Who's dead?"

The two turned and left the tea room, returning to the noisy underground casino.

Gu Tingchen looked at the diverse crowd without saying a word.

Song Qianxia leaned closer, scrutinizing him with a gossipy expression.

"Boss Gu, your move at the gambling table just now was incredibly smooth!"

"Did you secretly enroll in some underground training course behind the organization's back?"

Gu Tingchen had his hands in his pockets.

"I learned it from watching old men play cards in the park."

Song Qianxia rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?!"

At that moment, Lao Zheng's suppressed laughter came through the earphones.

"Little Song, he didn't learn it from watching old men play cards."

"Four years ago, this kid was selected by the provincial department and sent abroad to carry out a mission."

"He spent more than half a year working at a large casino on the border, and he busted the entire operation of the casino within the fraud zone."

Lin Wan's voice also chimed in.

"Captain Gu received a first-class merit award that time. If it weren't for the need to keep a low profile and maintain secrecy, his photo would already be hanging on the city bureau's honor wall."

Song Qianxia was dumbfounded. Good heavens, she had been doing very well in the underworld in her previous life, and this living Yama hadn't been idle either!

Fortunately, we're partners now, not rivals.

"But then again," Old Zheng's tone became serious.

"The entry requirements Old K mentioned for the deep-sea expansion are way too demanding. Where are we going to get all that hard stuff from the underworld?"

The Boshan incense burner in the police's possession has been classified as stolen goods, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be used as a stepping stone.

Song Qianxia was also troubled.

His mind was filled with top-secret ledgers and intelligence from the underworld; any one of them could be nuclear-level information.

But she can't take it. Taking it out would be like revealing her true identity.

If you can't get the real stuff, you can't go into the deep sea. To get the real stuff, you have to dig up Qianmian's old secrets.

Isn't this a vicious cycle?

Gu Tingchen looked at the gamblers who were living in a drunken stupor, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"You don't necessarily have to find something with a thousand faces."

"Old Zheng, prepare to proceed according to the original plan!"
