Among a large group of people with oriental appearances, in fact, the short-sized man walking in the middle of the group is the most eye-catching one. He looks exactly like what he is in the photo, who turns out to be Gaoqi Yihai.
âHis height circulated online must have been misrepresented.â Gungun has a different focus from others.
Wuyou smiles and pulls him away.
As Gaoqi Yihai enters the restaurant, he turns back his head and glances at them.
âThose two are from Hua Country,â His assistant whispers, âTheyâre so good looking and should be celebrities.â
Gaoqi Yihai sits down and smiles, âCelebrities arenât as noble as them, who should be the children of the top families in Hua Country. Donât bother with or mess up with them. The kind of family in Hua Country pays a lot of attention to inheritance. And those two kids look like excellent heirs at a glance.â
âCopy that!â
That night, Gungun looks quite excited. Thatâs because he can finally go into the casino. He only went to the kind of small casino on a gambling ship before. And this is the biggest casino on the planet. He, who turns 18, surely can go inside openly.
âI have exchanged $1,000 in chips. Weâll go back when we lose them all!â Although Gungun says so verbally, his expression indicates that he is ready to kill it all. He doesnât believe he will lose them all.
Shirla sneers, âI donât know how come a rookie like you is that confident.â
âWait and see!â Gungun goes to the poker table quite confidently. And the result is that he has lost all $1,000 in less than an hour.
He is worse than Wuyou, who has won $50 with the complimentary 20 chips.
âNo way!â Gungun refuses to accept the reality and feels that something must have gone wrong somewhere.
âI want to do it again!â He pulls out his credit card and is stopped by Wuyou.
Wuyou gives him a few chips in her hand, âUse these. Weâll go back after the game.â
Then Gungun loses it all again. He slumps his head.
âWuyou⦠What should I do? Uncle said he even won a few hundred dollars on his first visit to the casino. Iâ¦â
âHe lied to you,â Wuyou says, âI heard from Mom that Uncle lost over a million dollars in one night and was beaten by Grandmother by the ears.â
Gungunâs eyes light up instantly, âReally?â
âYes. I heard Grandmother scold him by myself.â
âThen letâs go back,â Gungun is in a good mood and says, âThe casino isnât interesting at all.â
Shirla squints her eyes.
âWhy are you leaving?â Billy runs over to them from the neighboring table with a thick stack of chips in his hand.
Gungun pretends he canât see whatâs in Billyâs hand, âIâm hungry. I will go out and get something to eat before I come back here.â
Billy says understandingly, âYou can order food here.â
Gungun shakes his head, âWeâre going to eat outside. I hear thereâs a famous burger store nearby.â
âI know which one you are talking about! Itâs not far away. Go ahead! Remember to come back later to play.â
Gungun certainly isnât going for a snack. He surely canât take in more food after a stuffed meal tonight. He drags Wuyou out of the hall and sees that there is another hall next to it, which is full of slot machines and gaming machines.
He ever played one kind of machine, whose large body is divided into many slots. And each slot can be invested with game coins. Once a coin is put in, the back will push a bit, making the game coins in the front fall down.
The more game coins fall down, the more the players will win, which isnât easy. Gungun remembers the first time he played it, none of the hundreds of game coins was left in the end. However, he didnât have many opportunities to play this game after that.
He asks Wuyou, âLetâs play this one, shall we?â
Wuyou is fine with that. So they go to exchange for another 100 game coins. If 100 game pieces are put to good use, they can earn a lot of money back! Gungun searches around, trying to find a machine with more game coins on the edge, which will make the game coins fall down with the most ease.
âThis one.â Wuyou finds one, whose several slots are full of game coins and where game coins can fall off easily.
So they hold a bucket of game coins, dropping game coins into the machine one after another. One of the slots has a $100 pressed into it. If they get it down, they will make a profit. They are aiming for the $100. As the $100 is on the edge, a woman pounds on the machine suddenly.
âExcuse me, I just put the $100 in.â
Gungun doesnât even come to his senses, âWhat do you mean?â
âI just went to the bathroom. And now Iâm coming back to continue playing it.â The woman is wearing heavy makeup and a pretty low-cut dress. The bag in her hand is a luxury one. But her temperament indicates that she doesnât resemble an official lady from a rich family. In that case, she can only beâ¦
âWhatâs wrong?â Sure enough, another middle-aged man comes over wearing a big gold chain with a emerald ring on his right thumb, who looks obviously rich and stupid.
âLook at them! We just sat there. And now theyâre taking it.â The woman leans close to the manâs arms and confesses petulantly, âYou put that $100 in there. And I want it back!â
The man glares at Gungun and Wuyou. His tone grows fiercer as he sees that they are two young children.
âHey, do you hear me? Get out of my way quickly.â
Gungun smiles, âIs it your place?â
âWe just played here!â The woman looks at him and then at Wuyou, feeling overwhelmingly jealous.
These two children are covered in big brands from their heads to the toes. And the watch on the boyâs hand will cost at least a million dollars if it is an authentic one. And the girlâs backpack is a limited edition, which canât be purchased at the market at all. Nowadays, kids who are the rich second generation are so young. But she can only sleep with such an old manâ¦
She thinks Wuyou is the same as her. However, being a rich kidâs little girlfriend must be a lot more comfortable than she is. As she thinks in that way, the words coming out of her mouth are even more vicious.
âDo your parents know that youâre out with a man at a young age?â
Wuyou glimpses at her, âWhat has it to do with you whether my parents are informed or not?â
âLook at your temper! So hot.â The woman scoffs, âI donât care! Get up. This is my seat.â
âYour seat?â Wuyou slips another game coin in, âDid you buy a ticket?â
The man takes a look at her attitude and starts cursing, âDamn! Will you get up or not? I donât want to beat you because youâre young. So donât ask for trouble on your own.â
A waiter hears a lot of noise and comes over to ask, âCan I help you, sir?â
Gungun nods, âAs you can see, weâre playing here and theyâre making a mess. So please get rid of them in case they disturb us.â
âAlright!â
The waiter says to the man and the woman politely, âSir, lady, you are not allowed to disturb anyone else. Please play on a different machine.â
âNo way,â The woman calls up, âI just played here. All the game dollars were piled up by me. And I just went to the bathroom and they took over my machine.â
âIâm sorry, lady. Since youâve left, this machine can be played by anyone. So would you please play on another machine?â
The man curses and stretches out to push the waiter away, who calls on people with his walkie-talkie hurriedly. Soon, three security guards arrive.
âSorry. In that case, please leave the casino.â
âWhat are you doing?â
âLet go of me!â
They try to resist. But the security guards just take out an electric baton, scaring them so much. They, who dare not move, are asked to be out dejectedly.
âIdiots!â Gungun curses as the $100 happens to drop out.
He smiles and tips the waiter. When they are about to leave after enjoying the game, the waiter runs over to them specifically.
âSir, you have to be careful. I saw those two guys sitting in the cafe ahead and never left, who might be trying to trouble you. If you encounter danger, remember to call the security guards immediately.â
Gungun thanks him and walks out of the hall with Wuyou. Before they can walk far away, they see the man and woman coming out of the cafe menacingly.
âWeâre going back to the hotel to rest in bed!â Gungun pulls Wuyou away. It is almost midnight now.
Then the man and the woman barricade them in the entrance to the elevator. After they see them enter the elevator, they follow in.
âYou guys are great, huh? How dare you call the security guards to evict us?â As soon as the elevator door closes, the woman starts cursing, âWho else are you going to call now? Give me back the $100 I just spent!â
Gungun takes out his room card and swipes it on the elevator. Then the button for the topmost floor lights up.
âDo⦠Do you guys live on this floor?â The man stammers all of a sudden. He rubs his eyes for a closer look. Yes, it is on the top floor.
Gungun puts the room card away, âOr does it light up on its own?â
âHeh, heh, hehâ¦â The man presses the button to the next level hurriedly, âNo interruptions then, no interruptions!â
The woman flinches, âWhat are you talking about? Oh, these two little bitchesâ¦â
The man slaps her, âIdiot! Shut up.â
At that moment, the elevator stops. The man rushes out without caring about the woman.
âHey! Honey?â The woman rushes to keep up with him. She even looks back at Gungun and Wuyou, feeling confused.
As the elevator continues to rise, Gungun rolls his eyes, âThey are not stupid yet.â
At this point, the man is scolding the woman, âYou should never get into any fucking trouble again. Those two people you offended a moment ago live on the top floor. Do you know what kind of people can live on the top floor?â
âAnyone rich can live there, isnât it?â The woman says in injured tones, âTheyâre just richer than youâ¦â
âI canât make it clear to you,â The man says roughly, âAnyway, all you need to know is that you canât afford to mess with them. Just be good for a few days. Donât offend someone you canât mess with in case I wonât clear up the mess for you.â
Back in the room, Gungun sits on the gazebo and eats something after his shower. Wuyou sits over to his side. As she finds that he has been typing on his phone, she has a somewhat distracted look in her eyes.
Gungun notices it and asks her, âAnything wrong?â
ââ¦Nothing. Are you texting Zeng Xue?â
Gungun pauses. It is true that he has been texting Zeng Xue.
Zeng Xueâs father knows Gungun is studying abroad and insists that Zeng Xue should be here too. He is teaching Zeng Xue how to talk with her father.
âYesâ¦â Gungun puts the cell phone away, âShe says she has bought gifts for you.â
Wuyou looks down at the pretty pool at her feet, âWhen is she coming over?â
âI donât know. I guess it will be at the end of this month.â Gungun steals a glance at her, âDo you want to meet her?â
âOf course.â Wuyou looks up to meet his eyes, âIâll be sure to meet the girl you like.â
Gungun is speechless, âI know. Iâll get it arrangedâ¦â
The next day, Shirla runs over to them, saying that their information may be wrong and Gaoqi Yihai has nothing to do with the incident last time.
âThe latest-gathered evidence points to an organization in Italy. And Billyâs father has hired men to go over there. If we can find the batch of drugs, weâll be able to explain it to the two gangs.â
What Shirla is happy about is that once the issue is settled quickly, she can get the hell out of this fucking place as fast as she can.
