Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Underground Casino

Seeing the atmosphere relax, Zeng Yuxiang went into the kitchen to cook, leaving Mu Wan behind. After all, if she were to cook, no one would be able to stomach her food.

After Zeng Yuxiang finished cooking, the family began to eat dinner.

Perhaps he was in a good mood, because Mu Junwen, who rarely drank, opened a bottle of Maotai. The three men at the table began to drink.

Alcohol is a double-edged sword; if you’re not careful, it can easily lead to trouble. But when handled correctly, it can also smooth over unnecessary problems. Just like now, Mu Junwen and Mu Chengzhen were both getting tipsy, and their relationship seemed to improve along with it. After all, they were father and son. What couldn’t be said between them? Once everything was out in the open, their bond naturally strengthened.

Mu Junwen might have been a military man, but his tolerance for alcohol was truly poor. Just one cup of white liquor had him completely dazed and nearly falling asleep at the table. Seeing this, Lin Kuang and the others couldn’t help but give a wry smile. Lin Kuang and Mu Chengzhen then helped Mu Junwen upstairs and settled him in his room. Even so, Mu Junwen was still clamoring for more drinks, making Mu Chengzhen grin sheepishly.

After finally getting Mu Junwen into his room, Lin Kuang and Mu Chengzhen returned to the dinner table. The two men finished the bottle of Maotai, after which Zeng Yuxiang and Mu Wan started to clear the dishes.

"Chengzhen, sit for a while longer. You’re taking me to that casino later," Lin Kuang said with a smile, sitting on the couch.

"Mm, brother-in-law, is it really going to be okay?" Mu Chengzhen asked with some concern. Although he wasn’t a major figure in the underworld, he had been around the San Ye Sect long enough to know how ruthless those people could be, which was why he worried Lin Kuang might get into trouble.

"Don’t worry. With me here, there won’t be any problems," Lin Kuang assured him with a laugh.

Hearing this, Mu Chengzhen could only nod.

Around nine in the evening, Lin Kuang and Mu Chengzhen finally got up to leave. Zeng Yuxiang and Mu Wan reminded them to be careful.

Mu Chengzhen drove, speeding along with Lin Kuang. About half an hour later, he parked the car in front of a teahouse. This place looked like a teahouse on the surface, but underneath, it was actually a casino.

"Brother-in-law, this is it. The casino is underneath this teahouse," Mu Chengzhen said after parking.

"Alright, let’s go down and have a look," Lin Kuang said with a smile, then opened his door and got out. Seeing that, Mu Chengzhen had no choice but to follow.

The two went into the teahouse, where the manager naturally recognized Mu Chengzhen. If it were any other time, the manager would have been very welcoming. But things were different now. Mu Wan had beaten up the San Ye Sect boss’s daughter, a fact most sect members knew. With Mu Chengzhen showing up now, who would treat him pleasantly?

"Well, well, if it isn’t Young Master Mu. You still dare to come here? You’ve got quite some nerve," a portly middle-aged man said, his voice full of mockery.

Hearing this, Mu Chengzhen’s face immediately turned red, his eyes filling with anger.

"Liu Laosi, cut the snide remarks. I’m here. What are you going to do about it?" Mu Chengzhen said with forced bravado.

At his words, the teahouse’s manager, Liu Laosi, had his expression sour. Though he dared to mock Mu Chengzhen, he wouldn’t dare get physical. After all, Mu Chengzhen’s father was the head of the Hangcheng military district, and Liu Laosi didn’t dare to truly offend him.

"Hmph, Mu Chengzhen, don’t play dumb. What are you here for? To pay back the money?" Liu Laosi sneered.

"What I do is none of your business. This is a casino, isn’t it? I’m obviously here to play. What, are you going to stop me from going in?" Mu Chengzhen retorted coldly. At this point, he decided to go all in. Besides, with Lin Kuang by his side, Mu Chengzhen felt much bolder.

"You can go in, of course you can. But Boss He said you have to repay the money within three days. Otherwise, you know the consequences," Liu Laosi stated.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chengzhen’s face flushed slightly, and he couldn’t help but glance at Lin Kuang. Seeing his brother-in-law’s calm and composed demeanor, his heart felt a little lighter for some reason.

"I don’t need a day. I’ll pay you back today!" Mu Chengzhen declared.

"Heh, good! You live up to your name, Young Master Mu. Such guts! Please, this way!" Liu Laosi sneered, leading the way for Lin Kuang and Mu Chengzhen.

Shortly after, the two entered an elevator, which began to descend. In just a few seconds, the elevator stopped. The doors opened to reveal a five or six-meter-long corridor ending in a large door.

"Young Master Mu, please. See you around." With that, Liu Laosi left. As he walked away, he informed He Dong, the boss of the San Ye Sect, that Mu Chengzhen had arrived at the casino.

"Let’s go. Time to have some fun inside," Lin Kuang said with a laugh, patting Mu Chengzhen on the shoulder.

Hearing that, Mu Chengzhen nodded. He took a deep breath to relax and then walked through the large door.

In an instant, a wave of noise erupted as they stepped into a vast hall as bright as day. Inside were slot machines, roulette wheels, baccarat tables, stud poker, and dice games—every kind of game imaginable was available. On one side of the hall were several doors, clearly leading to private rooms built for the wealthy.

"Well, if it isn’t Young Master Mu." At that moment, a woman in revealing clothes with a voluptuous figure walked over. Her features were only slightly above average, but she was still quite attractive.

"Ah, um... take me to get some chips," Mu Chengzhen said.

"Certainly. Please follow me," the woman said with a smile.

Lin Kuang and Mu Chengzhen followed her to the front desk.

"How many chips would you like?" the receptionist asked with a smile.

Mu Chengzhen glanced at Lin Kuang. After all, it was Lin Kuang’s idea to come; besides, he didn’t have much money on him.

"Let’s get 10,000,000 for now," Lin Kuang said with a smile, handing over a bank card.

After the receptionist processed the transaction, Lin Kuang entered his PIN and took back his card along with ten million in chips.

"What would you two gentlemen like to play?" the hostess who had guided them over asked with a smile.

"We’ll just walk around on our own. No need for you to follow," Lin Kuang said with a laugh. He then took out a 100,000 chip and slipped it into the woman’s revealing cleavage.

Seeing this, the hostess naturally smiled and nodded; a tip of 100,000 was considered quite small here. "Enjoy yourselves," she said with a smile. She swayed her hips and walked away, clearly looking for her next target.

"Here," Lin Kuang said with a laugh, tossing 2,000,000 in chips to Mu Chengzhen. "Take these and go have some fun."

"Me? I can’t," Mu Chengzhen said hurriedly.

"It’s fine. We’ve got money to burn. It’s no big deal if you lose it all," Lin Kuang said like a true spendthrift.
