Upon seeing the no signal icon in the top right corner of his phone screen, Lu Ting's face immediately showed a bewildered expression, becoming even more pronounced.
"Hehehe..."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the gambling table, Xingyue couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing Lu Ting's words, her laughter carrying a mocking undertone.
One couldn't deny that pampered young lords like Zhao Ting really had empty heads, foolishly inviting laughter.
Soon after, Xingyue slightly restrained her laughter and then spoke up, "Of course, I know who you are, Mr. Zhao. As for your ability to summon people, I never doubted it. After all, in Chinese, there's an old saying: money can make the devil turn the grindstone."
"You have enough money, so naturally, you can find people to do your bidding."
"But..."
At this point, Xingyue suddenly changed her tone, her gaze turning cold as she stared into Lu Ting's eyes, continuing, "Setting aside the fact that there's a signal jammer in this room, even if you manage to make a distress call, what then?"
"Can you guarantee that you'll still be alive by the time rescue arrives?"
At this moment, Zhao Ting was in Cangsheng's premier casino, a situation that made him as vulnerable as a fish on a cutting board, completely at the mercy of others.
If Zhao Ting were smart enough, now would be the time to comply for his temporary safety, rather than provoke them further.
But evidently, having never experienced such situations, the pampered young Zhao Ting still harbored some disbelief. Faced with a threat that seemed temporarily non-threatening, he still wanted to resist.
Therefore, after hearing Xingyue's words, despite the obvious panic on his face, Lu Ting still refused to back down!
His expression then turned somewhat ferocious and menacing, as he shouted at Xingyue, "Trying to scare me? Haha, do you think I, Zhao Ting, am easily frightened?!"
"I'm leaving today! You have no right to stop me!"
Whether to say it or not, Cangsheng's premier casino truly lived up to its reputation as a place specializing in rigged games. Lu Ting had never heard of a casino that didn't allow players to leave midway.
Such arbitrary rules were clearly acts of tyranny!
After roaring these words at Xingyue across the gambling table, Lu Ting didn't spare her another glance. Instead, he turned away again, preparing to leave the casino.
Seeing this, Xingyue knew he was determined to "run into a wall until he dies." She didn't bother wasting words with him anymore, simply nodding slightly to the female dealer beside her.
Receiving Xingyue's signal, the female dealer immediately reached into the second tier of the nearby cart and took out a red button.
Next second, the female dealer pressed the red button without hesitation.
At this moment, Lu Ting, who was getting up to leave the gambling table, was just a few meters away from the bar and the exit.
But at this moment!
The large door that had been tightly closed suddenly burst open from the outside!
Bang!!!
Immediately, startled by the loud sound of the door being forcefully pushed open, Lu Ting, who had frozen in his tracks, watched in "horror" as five or six men, dressed in Cangsheng's premier casino uniforms and wielding guns such as pistols and rifles, poured in through the doorway!
The moment they entered the small gambling den, they all headed straight for Lu Ting.
Seeing this, fear immediately spread across Lu Ting's face, and his feet unconsciously took a few steps back due to the intimidating presence.
Soon, Lu Ting found himself with no room to retreat, backed against one side of the rectangular gambling table. As for the menacing men holding various firearms, they formed a semi-circular enclosure directly opposite him!
"W-what do you want?!"
With so many dark gun muzzles aimed at him, Lu Ting immediately showed an extremely frightened expression. Even when he spoke, his voice trembled uncontrollably, making it difficult to articulate a complete sentence.
He looked utterly terrified!
Meanwhile, Xingyue, sitting calmly at the gambling table, looked with interest at Lu Ting, who had obediently retreated. She spoke, "Mr. Zhao, as long as you obediently return and finish this round with me, I can guarantee that they won't do anything to harm your personal safety!"
Hearing her words, Lu Ting couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
What did she mean?
Using coaxing and deception, plus weapon intimidation, to lure him back to the gambling table to lose money to them?
Lu Ting, with a fearful expression, turned his gaze to Xingyue. His eyes were filled with intense distrust. Then, with a slight tremor in his tone, he said, "If you dare to harm me, it's a crime!"
"Yes! If something happens to me in your casino, whether it's the police of Thailand or our Chinese police, they will not let you get away with it!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
The entire gambling room fell silent.
Whether it was Xingyue, the female dealer, or the men pointing guns at Lu Ting, upon hearing his words, they all paused involuntarily.
But soon, after processing what was said, bursts of mocking laughter erupted from their mouths.
Obviously, Zhao Ting's words not only failed to serve as any warning, but instead, they sounded like a joke to them!
Since Cangsheng's premier casino dared to do such audacious things, it indicated that the casino's management had already taken care of all the connections.
After all, in Patong Thani Province, all the police were already working for these seemingly legal and compliant but actually shady casinos!
As for the Chinese police mentioned by Zhao Ting?
He was still abroad. Even if the Chinese police, known for their strong law enforcement capabilities, were to act, they would not be able to reach him in a short time!
Furthermore, Zhao Ting entered their casino to gamble, and Cangsheng's premier casino was equipped with various facilities. If no one spoke up, who would know if Zhao Ting had an accident here?
And if Zhao Ting's family in Chinese realized that something was wrong and came to report it, by then, they would have finished everything!
