Chapter 1704 Why?

When Liu Defa heard this, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes: "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?"

Qin Yuan lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I know an underground casino. Not only is the gambling huge, but there are also some... special deals. If Boss Liu is interested, we can go and have a look together."

When Liu Defa heard this, his heart moved, but on the surface he pretended to be hesitant: "This...isn't this not good? If he is discovered, he will be in big trouble."

Qin Yuan smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry, Boss Liu, I have a way to ensure that we will not be discovered. Moreover, the transactions there will definitely open Boss Liu's eyes."

Liu Defa pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't resist the temptation in his heart: "Okay! Then let's go and see it together! But brother, you have to ensure my safety."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Boss Liu. I, Qin, don't have any other abilities, but I can still protect the safety of my partners."

So, the two agreed on a time and place and prepared to go to the mysterious underground casino together.

The night was dark and the sea breeze was slightly chilly, but the underground casino in Haidong City was brightly lit and bustling with people. Qin Yuan followed Liu Defa through narrow corridors one after another, and finally came to this secret place hidden in the shadows of the city. In the casino, various gambling games were going on. Some people were cheering while others were dejected. The air was filled with the smell of smoke and sweat, as well as the lingering greed and desire.

Liu Defa seemed to be a different person as soon as he stepped into the casino, with excitement and greed in his eyes. He took Qin Yuan straight to a gambling table and skillfully exchanged 10,000 chips. Qin Yuan saw this and sneered secretly in his heart, but on the surface he pretended not to care and even took the initiative to buy a few bets for Liu Defa.

"Brother, look at this, you're guaranteed to make money without losing any money!" Liu Defa pointed to a corner of the gaming table and said confidently. However, Qin Yuan just smiled and said nothing more. He knew in his heart that in gambling, nine times out of ten he would lose, not to mention that underground casinos like this were full of fraud and traps.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Defa to run out of chips. His face was livid, and a trace of unwillingness and anger flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Qin Yuan patted him on the shoulder pretending to be concerned: "Boss Liu, don't be discouraged. Winning or losing is a common thing for soldiers. Let's buy some more chips and maybe we can turn the tables."

After Liu Defa heard this, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made some determination: "Okay! Buy another ten thousand!" However, this time, his luck still did not improve. In less than half an hour, all the newly purchased chips were lost.

At this moment, the casino security staff came over and looked at Liu Defa with a stern expression: "Mr. Liu, you have lost all your chips today. According to the rules, you should settle the bill."

Liu Defa's expression changed, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, don't worry. I still have a friend, he... he will help me pay." As he said that, he turned to look at Qin Yuan, his eyes flashing. A little prayer.

Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Boss Liu, what are you talking about? I came with you today, and I didn't bring that much money with me."

When the security personnel heard this, their eyes became even colder: "Mr. Liu, we are a place of rules. If you can't settle the bill on time, then we will have to take some necessary measures."

When Liu Defa saw this, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. He is well aware of the methods of these underground casinos, and once he messes with them, the consequences will be disastrous. But he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Qin Yuan, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, I, Liu Defa, am also a well-known figure in Haidong City. I can get this money very quickly. Give me some time, I will definitely Come on."

The security guard sneered: "Mr. Liu, we are not a charity. Give you time? Then how can we do business? Well, you call and ask your friends or family to send money. Otherwise, we can You're welcome."

Liu Defa had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and start making calls. However, he made several calls, but no one answered. His face became increasingly ugly, and his heart was filled with anxiety and fear.

Qin Yuan saw this and sneered secretly in his heart. He knew that this was the time for him to take action. He pretended to pat Liu Defa on the shoulder casually: "Boss Liu, don't worry. I have a friend who may be able to help you."

When Liu Defa heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Really? Can your friend help me?"

Qin Yuan nodded, pretending to be mysterious and said: "My friend is a rich man, and he values ​​me very much. As long as I ask, he will definitely help me. But..." He paused deliberately and hesitated. Liu Defa's appetite was aroused, "But you have to tell me, have you been in any trouble recently? Why do you need money so urgently?"

When Liu Defa heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. But thinking of the predicament at hand, he still gritted his teeth and whispered: "Actually, I did run into a little trouble recently. I owe a loan shark, and if I don't repay the money, they will attack my family. I …I had no choice but to try my luck here.”

When Qin Yuan heard this, his heart trembled. He didn't expect that Liu Defa would fall into such a deep quagmire. But on the surface, he pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, so that's it. Boss Liu, don't worry, my friend will definitely help you. However, you have to agree to one condition."

When Liu Defa heard this, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "What are the conditions?"

Qin Yuan smiled and softened his tone: "It's very simple. You just need to tell me, what secrets are there between you and your boss, Mr. Meng? Why were you so anxious for money after his death? "

When Liu Defa heard this, his expression changed drastically. He didn't expect Qin Yuan to ask such a question. His eyes flickered, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. However, under Qin Yuan's gaze, he was finally defeated.

"Okay... okay." Liu Defa took a deep breath, as if he had made some determination, "I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to leak this matter."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Boss Liu, I, Mr. Qin, keep my word. As long as you tell me the truth, I will definitely help you get through this difficulty."

So, Liu Defa began to slowly tell the secret between him and Mr. Meng. It turned out that Mr. Meng was involved in a huge illegal transaction during his lifetime, and Liu Defa, as his right-hand man, was also deeply involved. After Mr. Meng passed away, the other party to the transaction began to collect debts. In order to save himself and his family's lives, Liu Defa had to raise money everywhere. However, what he never expected was that he would stumble in this underground casino.

After listening to Liu Defa's story, Qin Yuan roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. He pretended to think deeply for a moment, then patted Liu Defa on the shoulder: "Boss Liu, I know about this. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get through this difficulty. However, you have to promise me not to get involved again in the future. This is an illegal trade. Otherwise, you will fall into it sooner or later."

When Liu Defa heard this, a hint of gratitude and shame flashed in his eyes: "Brother Qin, you are right. I really know that I was wrong this time. I will definitely change my mind and be a new person in the future."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded: "That's good. Now, wait for me here for a while. I'll go to my friend to borrow money to help you pay off your debt." After saying that, he turned and left the casino. However, the moment he turned around, his eyes became extremely cold. He knew that he was getting closer to the truth.

The night was as dark as ink, and the sea breeze was howling, bringing with it a bit of a biting chill. Qin Yuan and Liu Defa hurriedly left the underground casino, wanting to get rid of this place full of sin and danger as soon as possible. However, not long after they walked out, they felt an ominous atmosphere coming over them. The exit of the alley was blocked by several dark figures. They were holding sticks and had evil smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Defa shouted fiercely, trying to overwhelm the other party with his momentum. However, his voice seemed so weak as it echoed in the empty alley.

"Hmph, what do we want to do? You owe us money and you still want to run away?" One of the black figures sneered, approaching step by step.

Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had roughly guessed the origins of these people. He lightly patted Liu Defa on the shoulder and whispered: "Boss Liu, it seems we are in trouble. But don't be afraid, I'm here."

Liu Defa felt a little more at ease after hearing this. He knew that although Qin Yuan looked young, he was quite experienced and seemed to have quite a background. With him here, maybe we can save the day today.

However, Qin Yuan's comfort did not last long. The black shadows suddenly swarmed up and surrounded the two of them. They were quick and clearly well trained. Although Qin Yuan and Liu Defa resisted vigorously, they were eventually subdued, their heads covered with black cloth, and taken away.

I don't know how long it took before the two of them were taken into a closed room. The black cloth was taken off, and what appeared in front of them was a face full of flesh and fierce eyes. The man was burly and exuded a heart-stopping aura. He was the leader of the Black Panther Gang - Zhang Shuai.

"Hey, isn't this Liu Defa? Why, you can't survive in the casino and you come to me to die?" Zhang Shuai's lips curled up into a sneer, his tone full of sarcasm.

Liu Defa looked pale and said calmly: "Zhang Shuai, what do you mean? We have no grievances, why do you want to arrest us?"

Zhang Shuai heard this and sneered even more: "No grievances or grudges? You owe our Black Panther Gang money and you still want to default on the debt? Moreover, I also heard that you have been doing some small tricks behind the scenes recently and want to betray our Black Panthers." Help, right?”

When Liu Defa heard this, his heart trembled. He didn't expect that Zhang Shuai would notice his little actions behind his back. But on the surface, he pretended to be confused: "Zhang Shuai, what are you talking about? I, Liu Defa, have always been aboveboard, how could I do something like betraying a friend?"

Zhang Shuai sneered and did not continue the topic. He turned to look at Qin Yuan, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Little brother, I seem to have seen you somewhere. Which road are you from?"

Qin Yuan smiled slightly and looked calm: "Zhang Shuai has a really good memory. We did meet once before, but at that time I was just a minor character and could not get into Zhang Shuai's eyes."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuai laughed loudly: "Little brother, you are humble. I can see that you are not a simple person. However, since you and Liu Defa fell into my hands today, don't think about getting out easily."

When Qin Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Shuai Zhang, what do you mean? We are good citizens who abide by the law. Why do you detain us?"

Zhang Shuai sneered, stood up, walked to Qin Yuan, and put a gun against his forehead: "Why? Just because you stood where you shouldn't have stood and knew things you shouldn't have known. Moreover, I I also heard that you and Meng Tianyu are very close. Tell me, when will he be killed by us? "

Qin Yuan was shocked, but on the surface he pretended not to care: "Zhang Shuai, you have wronged me. Meng Tianyu and I are just ordinary friends, how do I know his plan?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shuai's eyes became even fiercer: "A common friend? Do you think I'm blind? I've made it very clear through my investigation that you've been helping him investigate things recently and you've been getting very close to him. Tell me, is he planning to trick us? Did the Leopard Gang take action? "

Qin Yuan sneered secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhang Shuai would be so concerned about Meng Tianyu's affairs. However, he pretended to be innocent on the surface: "Zhang Shuai, you have really wronged me. I was just helping Meng Tianyu investigate some private matters and had nothing to do with your Black Panther Gang. Moreover, Meng Tianyu never mentioned I’m going to attack you.”

Zhang Shuai seemed a little shaken when he heard this. He frowned, as if he was weighing whether Qin Yuan's words were credible. However, at this moment, Liu Defa suddenly spoke.

"Zhang Shuai, don't listen to his nonsense!" Liu Defa said eagerly, "Qin Yuan is not a good person at all! He colluded with Meng Tianyu just to deal with our Black Panther Gang! I saw them with my own eyes Let’s plot together!”

When Qin Yuan heard this, his heart sank. He didn't expect that Liu Defa would bite back at this time. He turned to look at Liu Defa, his eyes full of disappointment and anger: "Liu Defa, you must be responsible when you say this!"

Liu Defa seems to have completely lost his mind. He continued: "Zhang Shuai, don't believe him! He has been lying to you! He and Meng Tianyu just want to annex the territory of our Black Panther Gang! You must not let them go!"

When Zhang Shuai heard this, his eyes became fierce again. He looked at Qin Yuan and said in a cold tone: "Little brother, I originally wanted to give you a chance, but since Liu Defa said so, I have to take some measures. Tell me, when will Meng Tianyu be ready? Attack us?"
