Chapter 802: Step by Step Into the Game

cognized him, there was no room for her to live. A killing intent flashed in his eyes.“Who I am doesn’t matter, what matters is that you have offended me!” Xiao Yuge naturally didn’t ignore the killin..."Right away, Lord Chu! I'll get the wine right now!" Zhu Fugui's subordinate scurried off to fetch the wine.

"Young Master Chu, let's begin! Today, we must make sure Young Master Chu has a wonderful time! You look radiant today, Young Master Chu, you're surely going to win big!" Zhu Fugui showered Chu Tianqi with compliments.

Okay, here we go!

Chu Tianqi had been feeling down these days. He wanted to go on the expedition with them, but since he only had one eye, he was unable to. Thinking about Ge'er actually being with the prince... his heart ached even more. As a result, when he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, he was coaxed and tricked into a gambling den. He felt that when gambling, his mind was consumed only by winning and losing, and he wouldn't think of anything else, so he became interested in it and gradually immersed himself in it.

After about two hours, Chu Tianqi had won a lot of chips in front of him, making the young man beside him shine with envy. He didn't seem to care much, after all, he grew up in the Xiangfu from childhood and was raised as the son of the Xiangfu. He had never been short of money.

"Take these flowers." Chu Tianqi was generous this time, giving some to the people around him.

"Thank you, Master Chu!" Those people laughed until their mouths couldn't close.

"Come again!" Chu Tianqi, who was in high spirits, shouted "Come again!" as he drank.

"Alright, Lord Chu, let's play again!" Zhu Fugui discreetly gave the dealer, who was in charge of dealing the cards, a look. The dealer immediately understood.

"Master Chu, are you betting big or small this time" asked Zhu Fugui.

Chu Tianqi took a deep breath and put the betting chips onto the "big" side: "I'm betting everything on big today!"

“Good! Chu Ye is so domineering!” Zhu Fugui cheered and signaled the croupier to open the cards!

"Hey!"

Chu Tianqi was losing for the first time tonight and a little unwilling to accept it: “Let’s play again!”

"Lord Chu, would you like the large or small size"

"Everyone's saying, buy big tonight!" Chu Tianqi finished his sentence and downed another bowl of wine. The attendant quickly refilled his bowl.

Just like that, he drank bowl after bowl of wine, but soon he lost everything.

"Come again!" He shouted, slapping the table with his hand as he was drunk.

Zhu Fugui awkwardly leaned forward: "Lord Chu, you see, you've run out of betting funds. How about we end it here today You can come back tomorrow, alright"

"I am the son of a high-ranking official, the esteemed Taiwei! Are you afraid I don't have money" Perhaps in his desperation, Chu Tianqi slammed his fist on the table and glared, scaring the people beside him.

"Master Chu, we all know you have money, but... you don't now..."

"You run a gambling den, don't you Can't I borrow some money here" Chu Tianqi glared at him angrily.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fugui immediately beamed and said, “Master Chu, you should have mentioned wanting to borrow money earlier! It would have been a simple matter. Come here, give Master Chu his gambling funds!”

"Yes!"

Soon, Chu Tianqi lost all the borrowed gambling funds. At this time, he was already blinded by his losses.

"Bring me some more!"

"Master Chu, this is Mr. Tang, the owner of Ziqian Money House. He's here. Whatever amount you wish to borrow, he can provide." At that moment, Zhu Fugui brought a person over, it was Mr. Tang, the owner of Ziqian Money House.

Riding high on the wine, Chu Tianqi raised his hand and declared, "Borrow!"

"But, Lord Chu, you have to listen carefully. This is with interest," Zhu Fugui said in a low voice.

"Isn't it just interest When I win later, the interest will double!" Borrowing some wine courage, Chu Tianqi was quite generous.

“Okay, right away!”

Mr. Tang waved his hand, signaling his men to bring the silver. Soon, a pile of money appeared before Chu Tianqi. Mr. Tang laughed triumphantly: "Looks like my luck is back!"

So he kept gambling there until dawn, with ups and downs along the way, but in the end he still didn't win much. Looking at the meager remaining funds in his hand, and thinking about the debt owed to the moneylender, if he could win this round, then all the losses from tonight would be recouped. He made up his mind and bet it all.

Of course, the result was him losing again!

He staggered out of the gambling den, his body reeking of alcohol. He had stayed up all night and was completely exhausted.

"Young Master, what are you doing here" Zhao Si had practically been searching for him all night, and he never expected to find him at the gate of the financial district.

"Zhao Si, is there something you need" Chu Tianqi hiccuped, his strong alcohol scent nearly knocking Zhao Si over.

"Young Master, you haven't been home these past few nights. The old master and mistress are almost driven mad with worry." Zhao Si looked anxious, glanced at the gambling den behind him: "Young Master, what have you been doing these days" It was strange; Young Master had always been a man of principle, never touching such things. How could this be

"Is something wrong with the Xiangfu"

"That's not it, only Miss got better this morning. The master asked me to come find you back to the Xiangfu." Zhao said as he helped him towards the direction of the Xiangfu.

"It's fine if she's better. What's there to see I have to go on duty." Although he had drunk a bit too much, he hadn't forgotten his duty. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Who cured Miss..."

"It is Miss Second."

"Is Ge'er gone" As soon as Ge'er was mentioned, Chu Tianqi's wine woke up most of the way.

"Yesterday, madam sent Zhuer to invite her back. The second young mistress's medical skills are indeed remarkable. Before, the master had invited so many doctors, none of whom could diagnose the eldest miss. Unexpectedly, as soon as the second young mistress arrived, the eldest miss recovered."

"Well, then I'll head back home first." Chu Tianqi still decided to go back.

"Young Master, why don't you wash your face over there Don't let the Master see this." Zhao Si was quite concerned about Chu Tianqi, his master. Knowing that if the Master saw him like this, he would definitely be furious, he hurriedly advised him to go and freshen up before going back.

Watching Chu Tianqi and his servant leave, Zhu Fugui and Boss Tang appeared at the doorway.

“Boss Zhu, what you did is not honorable at all. He's a high-ranking official, if he knew you were secretly harming him, he might have you cut in half!” Boss Tang fanned himself with his folding fan, looking rather elegant. But who would have thought that he was the head of the biggest pawn shop in the capital, making money from loans and using whatever it takes – hands, feet, or even life – to repay debts if they couldn't afford to.

Zhu Fu貴 let out a cold snort: "Just an one-eyed Taiwei, what's there to show off about He blinded himself in one eye and dared to refuse my cousin's marriage proposal, causing her shame and suicide. She was the most beloved person in my life, how could I possibly spare Chu Tianqi this bastard!"

"It's really a pity about Miss Lu." Mr. Tang seemed to know the reason.

It turns out that Zhu Fugui's cousin was actually the daughter of Lu Yuanwai, who had been rejected by Chu Tianqi before. Miss Lu had injured one leg since she was a child and was already quite self-deprecating. Unexpectedly, even a one-eyed man despised her. Unable to bear it, she hanged herself in a fit of despair. him, and Bi Yi didn't have much to hide. 。"Dead" Qian Tingxuan frowned slightly: "Did you see it with your own eyes" It would be so smooth 。Xiao Yu Ge nodded. "I saw it with my own eyes, in that se...
