Chapter 66 Gambling House (Update 1)

Ling Chu raised his fingers and counted, then frowned.

Hu Batian wanted to use the Ge family and his daughter to pay off his debt last time, but she stopped him. Unexpectedly, he persisted in his evil intentions.

Worried that something might happen to Liu Xiangju's maid, Ling Chu did not hesitate, got on the carriage and went straight to Changle Gambling House.

She urged her urgently, and the coachman rushed to the gambling house as quickly as possible.

Ling Chu got off the carriage, and the maid Xia Zhi followed closely.

In a place like a gambling house, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. Ling Chu originally wanted the maid to stay in the carriage and wait for her.

But Xia Zhi disagreed. How could a master go to a dangerous place? Instead, a maid stayed in a safe place and waited.

Ling Chu was worried that it was too late. Something happened to Liu Xiangju's maid. Seeing Xia Zhi's insistence, he didn't try to persuade her.

He took Xia Zhi to the entrance of the gambling house, but was stopped.

At the gate of Changlefang, the two men guarding the gate frowned and said impatiently, "Girl, you must have gone to the wrong place. This is a gambling house, not the place you should be, so hurry up and leave."

Ling Chu glanced at them and didn't bother to beat around the bush, "I'm looking for Hu Batian."

The two gatekeepers looked at each other. When they heard that she was looking for Hu Batian, their attitude softened a little, but they did not let her in.

"The gambling house is a place for gambling. If you want to find Brother Hu, just wait outside."

Ling Chu frowned and took out a banknote from his sleeve pocket, "I'm not looking for anyone, so I can just go in and gamble, right?"

The gambling house opens its doors to welcome customers from all over the world. Anyone who comes to gamble is welcome, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman.

Ling Chu directly took out the money and made it clear that he wanted to go in and gamble. The two gatekeepers had no reason to stop her, so they stepped aside and welcomed her in with smiles on their faces.

After entering the gambling house, not far inside, all kinds of noisy sounds rushed towards me.

Changle Gambling House is a famous casino in Beijing. At this time, it was crowded with people, all gathered around the gambling table. Ling Chu's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.

Only the casino manager noticed.

Although most of the people who come to the casino are men, there are also women.

Some noble ladies from aristocratic families will come to the casino to play a few games when they are bored.

But most of those girls came to see the world with their brothers at home.

A girl like this one who only brought a little maid came with her. Although it cannot be said to be unique, it is not rare.

Manager Wu's eyes paused on Ling Chu's face, and he quickly came over with a smile on his face.

"Girl, what do you want to play?"

When Ling Chu saw him dressed, he guessed he was the manager of the casino.

Seeing her looking at him, Steward Wu smiled and said, "I am the steward of Changlefang, my surname is Wu. I don't know what the girl wants to play. If you don't understand, I can introduce it to you."

Ling Chu glanced at him and said directly, "I don't gamble. I came here to see Hu Batian for something."

Wu Guanshi originally thought that she was a noble lady from a certain family who came into the casino to play out of curiosity, but unexpectedly he guessed wrong.

Hearing that she was looking for Hu Batian, the smile on her face faded, "Hu Batian is not in Changlefang. If you want to find someone, please look elsewhere."

Ling Chu frowned again. This gambling shop was a mixed bag of good and bad, and all kinds of smells filled his nose. She has a keen sense of smell and this is torture for her.

She didn't want to stay here any longer.

She had calculated before that Hu Batian was clearly in Changlefang.

Could it be that he left before she arrived?

Ling Chu glanced at Guanshi Wu and felt that this man seemed to be lying.

Now that she had doubts, she simply opened the system.

After scanning the entire gambling house, Hu Batian's location was quickly discovered.

This Changle Casino has three floors. In addition to the bottom floor, there are two floors above.

Hu Batian was now in a private room on the second floor. Liu Xiangju was being escorted to her knees by two men. On the chair in front of her, a man in his thirties was looking down at her.

After finding Liu Xiangju, Ling Chu turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Seeing that she wanted to go upstairs, Manager Wu quickly took a few steps and blocked the stairs.

"Girl, this is a gambling house, so you can't wander around. If you want to find someone, you'd better go somewhere else."

The stairs were blocked, so Ling Chu could only stop and said, "I have something urgent to see Hu Batian, and I would like to ask Manager Wu to let him know."

"I said, Hu Batian is not in Changlefang. If you want to see him, you might as well go to his house and look for him."

"Guanshi Wu, I know Hu Batian is up there."

Manager Wu was surprised. This girl had just arrived. How could she know that Hu Batian was there?

This is probably a scam to him.

Wu Guanshi's face darkened, "Girl, you can't do anything wrong here. I told you that Hu Batian is not here."

Regardless of whether she guessed or really knew that Hu Batian was up there, there was no way he would let this girl go up there.

Manager Tao had given instructions earlier that no one was allowed to come up and disturb him.

Ling Chu didn't know why the black steward kept preventing her from seeing Hu Batian, but she had to take Liu Xiangju away today.

"Hu Batian stole my maid, I must see him today."

Steward Wu was stunned. He knew that Hu Batian had indeed brought a girl over earlier, saying that he had bought her for Steward Tao.

Could it be that that girl is actually the maid in front of me?

Or was it stolen?

But how could a person who was in the hands of Manager Tao be returned?

Regardless of whether he was robbed or bought, after entering Changlefang, he would be Tao's person in charge.

"This is a gambling house, but there are no maids. I'm afraid you made a mistake. If you want to find a maid, look for it somewhere else. If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude and asking someone to drag you out."

Manager Wu waved his hand, and immediately seven or eight strong men surrounded them.

At first glance, they were the thugs hired by the gambling house.

Ling Chu sighed. She didn't like fighting at all. Why did these people force her?

Seeing so many thugs, Xia Zhi swallowed nervously, quietly pulled Ling Chu's sleeve, and whispered, "Miss, why don't we go back first and find someone to save Xiangju."

Although she was worried about Liu Xiangju, Ling Chu was the master. Xia Zhi was worried that something would happen to her in the gambling house. She was so anxious that she wanted to pull her away immediately.

Ling Chu patted the back of her hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's okay."

She dared to bring Xia Zhi to the gambling house alone. She was not a reckless person.

Fortunately, she had rested enough these two days and drank health-preserving medicine today. She felt okay now.

Seeing those thugs surrounding her, Ling Chu pretended to be scared and wanted to take the maid back.

But at the moment of turning around, she flipped her wrist and took out the stack of immobilization talismans that she had just drawn yesterday.

Before the thugs could react, she raised her hand.

She threw the stack of immobilization talismans at the thugs.

Manager Wu didn't expect her to do it, and was stunned for a moment.

Although the thugs saw Ling Chu's actions, they didn't think much of what she threw out because it seemed to be paper.

They thought that the girl was just blocked, and she was angry but helpless, so she could only throw out the paper she was carrying to vent her dissatisfaction.

How could these thugs think that Ling Chu threw out the immobilization talisman?

By the time they found out that something was wrong, it was too late.
