Hong Guozi walked off while her hips swayed from left to right. When she left the casino, her hands that were closing the door paused. She left the door open by a few inches and her bright eyes stopped on Gu Zean for a few seconds. The corners of her mouth deviated upwards and she sneered.
The woman didn't rush to serve the tea but took the elevator to the bottommost floor instead. It was very quiet here and there were only two tables of guests. However, no one should underestimate these guests. If these people stomped their feet, the entire city would shake.
Hong Guozi did not disturb them. She walked through the corridor and stood in front of a crystal wall. She turned her head to ensure that there was no one following her from behind. The woman reached out and pressed on the crystal wall. A crack appeared on the wall and once it was widened enough, she quickly walked through it.
"Boss, Gu Zean is here." Hong Guozi lowered her head slightly and was very respectful. At this moment, she no longer had the flirtatious look on her face.
The boss that she was referring to wore a black shirt and he had a tall and straight back. The man stood in front of the fish tank and fed the fish with his bare hands. When he was done feeding the fish, he wiped his hands with a white handkerchief and said in a gentle, emotionless tone; making it impossible to guess the meaning behind it, "Think of a way to get him to B5."
"Boss, do you want him to lose everything that he has?" That was all Hong Guozi could guess. To enter the fifth floor, one had to pay an entrance fee of 10 million Yuan. If they were to bet a few rounds here, they could lose a couple of companies in the blink of an eye.
"Oh, look how things are becoming now. You used to be indifferent about these but now that the eldest young master of the Gu family has shown some interest in you, could you be having thoughts that you shouldn't?" The man turned around. The man looked like he was from a foreign country. He had deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and a slightly perky chin. His entire aura felt gloomy.
Hong Guozi looked at his thin lips as they looked like they were covered in blood. She felt that he was like the vampires in Western movies, who survived with human blood.
"Boss. you've misunderstood. I'm just worried. Since we are in City A, if we mess with the Gu family, would it..."
"Hmph! If the old master of the Gu family knew that his son was a gambler, I'm afraid he would kick him out of the family." The man was very tall, nearly 1.9 meters. When he walked over, the pressure he gave off made it difficult for Hong Guozi to look up.
"Today, I want him to come in with dignity and leave with none."
"I understand. I will get it done immediately." When the woman walked out of the crystal wall, the crack in the wall slowly closed and finally disappeared.
When she returned to the first floor, the woman dripped a few drops of eye drops into her eyes, then unbuttoned the collar of her cheongsam. She let down her hair that was previously held up by a hairpin. She adjusted her breathing a few times, before slapping herself on the cheeks. It was such a hard slap that her ears were ringing.
After preparing herself, the woman opened the door of the casino with a pot of tea.
"I'm really sorry to have made you guys wait for so long." Hong Guozi served the tea and her voice sounded like she had a blocked nose.
By that time, Gu Zean had already won a few million yuan. Most of the people at the table were looking stressed and so none of them noticed the changes in Hong Guozi. This was how men would behave. Once their desire to win was aroused, they would be extremely focus on it.
"What did I say today? I'm going to win back the 10 million I lost. Hahahahaha ..." Gu Zean was so excited that he immediately rewarded the dealer with a hundred thousand Yuan.
Hong Guozi wasn't in a hurry either. She sat down obediently beside Gu Zean. The man then grabbed her and wanted to kiss her out of habit. Before his lips touched the woman, he heard her sobbing.
"What's going on?" Only then did Gu Zean carefully look at the woman. His heart ached as he held the woman's chin and looked at her."How did you end up like this when you went out to get some tea?"
The woman wiped her eyes with a tissue and stubbornly said that she was fine.
"I met with someone that wasn't nice and he was teasing me. I didn't want him to do so and he ended up slapping me instead. That's why I took so long to get you the drinks. I'm terribly sorry."
When the men at the table saw what happened, how would they still have the heart to gamble? Hong Guozi was a popular woman in the casino. Who was it that had the audacity to lay their hands on her?
"Oh, Hong Guozi. Your face is swollen. That must have been a hard slap. Who is this man? He dares lay his hands on young master Gu's woman?" The people present at the casino were all elites of the business world, and even more so, the elites of society. Although they were angry, they were experts at using others to fire the gun.
"Look, look, look. Look at her watery eyes. You're crying so much that your eyes look like peaches. How could they do this to you?"
Gu Zean was a man and men loved being heroes. He grabbed Hong Guozi's shoulder and his small eyes were erupting with madness like an erupting volcano. "Who is it? Take me there, I'll teach him a lesson."
Once Hong Guozi heard that Gu Zean had taken the bait, she squeezed out a few more tears from her eyes. "Please don't, please! I'm already used to it. These men with status and money can be unreasonable. It's rare to meet men like you who know how to take care of others. Please don't have your mood ruined because of me."
Their hearts ached when they saw how she was being considerate of her man even when she was the victim.
Gu Zean couldn't stand it. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm asking you where he is. I will find him."
"He ... He's on the fifth floor. Master Gu, don't. The entrance fee is ten million Yuan. It isn't worth it."
The people at the table couldn't help but gasp. The entrance fee was 10 million Yuan and that wasn't a small amount of money. Looks like the young master Gu wouldn't be able to avenge his girlfriend.
"Sigh! Young master Gu, I think we should just forget about it. It's not easy to go to the fifth floor."
"Yes, I don't think that Hong Guozi has suffered that much or..."
Before they could finish, Gu Zean slammed the table and stood up. "Let's go to the fifth floor now. I'm going to meet that person today."
The people at the table didn't stop them because they were more interested in the 'drama'. Hong Guozi was brought out of the casino on the first floor by Gu Zean and the angry man soon arrived at the fifth floor.
When the man took out his black card, he clenched it tightly in his hand. He seemed to hesitate for a moment. He managed to calm down a little when he arrived at the entrance of the fifth floor. Was it really worth it to spend ten million on a woman?
Hong Guozi noticed the man's hesitation and immediately pulled his hand. She sobbed in a low voice, "Master Gu, I'm fine, really. Even if we didn't spend this money, you are still a hero to me."
The word 'hero' pierced the man's heart. He gritted his teeth and handed over the black card.
After paying 10 million yuan, he entered the door of the fifth floor.
This place was not as bright as the first floor. It was pitch black. Other than the lamb on the table, they could not even clearly see the face of their gambling friend from across the table. All they could see was the smoke around them.
Hong Guozi tugged at Gu Zean's hand and pointed at a private room with her trembling hand. "Over there."
Gu Zean strode over in anger. He was someone who has witnessed major storms. Forget about the ten million yuan, even if it was a hundred million yuan, the Gu corporate would still be able to afford it. In City A, he didn't believe that anyone could have more money than the Gu family.
The man kicked the door open and saw a foreign man sitting at a gambling table.
The man had deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge with lips that were thin and bloodthirsty.
Other than the lamp on the table, the room was pitch black.
"You're the one who bullied her?" The moment Gu Zean stepped into the room, he looked like he was ready to fight. Then, as soon as he stepped forward, he was frightened by the bodyguards who walked out from the darkness.
The foreign man laughed in a low voice. His voice was gentle without any emotions. He seemed to be at ease with the current situation."Young master Gu must be a man with a strong character. Why don't we sit down and make a bet? If I lose, I'm willing to do whatever you ask of me. What do you think?"
