Chapter 11

Xu Yun looked at Qiangzi without speaking, but his eyes already told Qiangzi that he was determined to go.

"Brother Yun, the Tianlang Casino is the territory of the Four Wolves Gang, a legitimate den of wolves!" Qiangzi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. "You're not really going to... Brother, why don't we discuss it again? Maybe there's another way?"

"You guys eat, I'm full." Xu Yun had already stood up. "Where is that place?"

Qiangzi really didn't want to say it. He was genuinely worried that Xu Yun might not be able to handle it alone, but he didn't have the courage to lead a group against the Four Wolves Gang. With just a few small-time henchmen under him, the Four Wolves Gang could crush them with a single finger.

"Bo Wen Street." Qiangzi ultimately couldn't resist Xu Yun's determined gaze.

Before leaving, Xu Yun asked Qiangzi and the others for two packs of beer and three pounds of grilled meat. Qiangzi and the others were genuinely a bit uncomfortable. Xu Yun was loyal to them, but they really didn't dare to offend the Four Wolves Gang. It was a dilemma!

Bo Wen Street was a famous alley in the old city of Wenhui District. The most eye-catching thing on the street was the orange neon sign of a health products store, followed by one after another of massage parlors that hung sheep heads but sold dog meat.

Although the city's crackdown on prostitution and organized crime was very strong, these massage parlors were like the grass that couldn't be burned out by wild fires, always springing back to life.

"Hey, handsome, are you alone? Come in for a haircut?" The women standing at the doors of each massage parlor would call out to Xu Yun with alluring voices.

Xu Yun walked from the south end of Bo Wen Street to the north end but didn't see any mahjong parlors or game rooms, let alone a casino. With no choice, he had to approach a massage parlor for information.

"Handsome, if you want to come in, just come in. Get a massage to relax, our girls are young and beautiful, guaranteed to satisfy you!" A woman dressed up and speaking in a seductive tone moved closer to him.

Xu Yun raised his hand to block her and asked straightforwardly, "Is it free?"

"Tsk, you're dreaming. If you're a virgin, should we give you a red envelope?" The woman, seeing that Xu Yun didn't look like he had much money, stopped paying attention to him.

Xu Yun took out a hundred yuan from his wallet and waved it in his hand. "I need to ask about a place."

The woman's eyes lit up, and she unceremoniously took the money. "If you came to Bo Wen Street and didn't come for sex, you must be here to gamble, right?"

Xu Yun nodded, simply and clearly. "Where is the Tianlang Casino?"

She pointed to a nearby billiard hall. "There's a hidden door in the southeast corner of that billiard hall. Go down one level, and you'll find the Tianlang Casino. Little handsome, remember to come to my shop if you win some money!"

Xu Yun ignored the woman and walked towards the billiard hall.

The billiard hall wasn't very big, with only six tables. Seven or eight young men were playing half-heartedly, and they all looked at Xu Yun when he entered. They were all shirtless, with dragon and tiger tattoos, clearly not good people.

Xu Yun didn't say much and walked straight to the southeast corner of the billiard hall, where there was indeed a hidden door that matched the wall's wallpaper.

Just as Xu Yun was about to enter, the young men playing billiards dropped their cues and surrounded him. A young man with a wolf head tattoo on his chest looked particularly fierce. "What are you doing? If you're not playing, get out!"

Xu Yun pointed to the hidden door to the casino. "I want to go in and play a few rounds."

"Play what? Who told you there's anything to play in there? Get out, or I'll make you!" The wolf head youth frowned, clearly suspicious of Xu Yun's identity.

After all, this was a gambling place. Unlike Las Vegas, casinos in Hedong City were illegal. If they weren't run cautiously, the police would shut them down. So, it wasn't easy for strangers to enter.

"I'm a friend of Lü Bao. He's out of money, and I'm here to help him send some." Xu Yun patted his pocket.

The wolf head youth relaxed his frown. Lü Bao had just brought ten thousand yuan to pay off his debts today. He must have made a new rich friend.

"Follow me." The wolf head youth nodded, and a henchman closed the door of the billiard hall.

Led by the wolf head youth and others, Xu Yun entered the Tianlang Casino.

The casino was bustling with at least a hundred people gambling! Although it was called the Tianlang Casino, it was far from the casinos Xu Yun had seen in Las Vegas. At best, it was an underground gambling den.

But even a sparrow has all its organs. The casino had all kinds of games: Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, Fan Tan, Poker, Big and Small, Slot Machines, Mahjong, and more. Whatever you wanted to play, they had it!

"Lü Bao has only paid off half of his debt, and I've locked him up." The wolf head youth signaled for the others to disperse and check for cheaters. He led Xu Yun further into the hidden passage. "What's your relationship with him? Are you here to pay his debt?"

Xu Yun sighed. "I'm his brother."

"Wow, brotherly love." The wolf head youth chuckled and led Xu Yun to the middle of the hidden passage. He took out a key and opened a heavy iron door, stepping inside.

Xu Yun walked in and immediately saw Lü Bao sitting on a chair, his hands tied, a cloth in his mouth, and a stack of money on the table in front of him, about ten thousand yuan.

When Lü Bao saw the wolf head youth bring Xu Yun in, he couldn't sit still, his eyes full of panic, and he started to mumble.

"Seeing your brother doesn't have to be so emotional." The wolf head youth laughed. "He's here to pay your debt, so you'll keep your finger today."

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Lü Bao seemed to want to say something.

The wolf head youth picked up the stack of money and waved it at Xu Yun. "Your brother only has ten thousand yuan, and he still owes ten thousand."

Xu Yun took the stack of money from the wolf head youth and, to his surprise, put it in his pocket, smiling politely. "Thanks."

"What do you mean?" The wolf head youth's face darkened, his fierce expression showing.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Lü Bao struggled to spit out the cloth in his mouth.

The wolf head youth frowned and yanked the cloth out of Lü Bao's mouth. "What the hell do you want to say?"

"Brother Sanpao, it was him who beat up Brother Liangzi and his friends yesterday. Brother Weisi was also defeated by him this afternoon!" Lü Bao looked at Xu Yun in panic. "He's the lover of the boss's wife at the herbal restaurant!"

The wolf head youth was shocked. He hadn't expected that the thirty brothers led by Weisi this afternoon had been defeated by this guy!

Xu Yun closed the iron door gently. "Seven thousand yuan you stole, and the other three thousand I'll consider as glass money. Either you come with me to the police station, or I'll have the police come and take you. Choose."

Lü Bao was scared stiff, but he couldn't move because he was tied up. "Brother Sanpao, you have to save me!"

"Hmph. Want to take money out of here?" The wolf head youth sneered. "I'll show you what a wolf's den is like!" He pressed the alarm in the room!

Instantly, the entire casino erupted in chaos. The people responsible for evacuating the gamblers opened the hidden passage, while others grabbed iron pipes and steel bars and rushed over!

"What a messy dog's den." Xu Yun sneered and slammed the heavy iron door shut! He used his wrist to bend the door handle, making it impossible to open from either side!

The wolf head youth was furious but couldn't help being shocked by Xu Yun's strength!

...

"Clang, clang, clang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The knocking and shouting outside the door continued for a minute, but no one could open it. Since Brother Sanpao was inside, the people outside were worried.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the iron door fell, and a shocking footprint was imprinted on it!

The wolf head youth, Brother Sanpao, was thrown out of the room like a dead dog, his teeth almost all knocked out, his nose broken, his eyebrow cut, and his face a bloody mess, trembling uncontrollably, making it hard to imagine what had happened inside.

Xu Yun clapped his hands and walked out of the room, smiling. "Anyone else want to die?"

The guy at the front, not knowing any better, yelled and swung his stick. Xu Yun stepped into a bow stance and punched with his right fist, sending the man flying five meters away, landing with a thud and lying still.

What a powerful punch!

Everyone looked at each other, no wonder the capable Brother Sanpao had been beaten so badly!

"Next." Xu Yun cracked his knuckles, a challenging smile on his lips. "Or, all of you together?"

Ah, ya, ao, hao...

After a series of screams, Xu Yun stood among the kneeling crowd, pulling out his phone. "Hello, Wenhui District Police Station? I need to speak to Officer Qin."

Qin Wan'er had been working overtime to solve the case before Xu Yun. Hearing someone call the police to find her, she suspected the caller was crazy. "This is her. Who are you?"

"Your voice is much better in person than on the phone." Xu Yun smiled. "Officer Qin, working overtime? Have you figured out the theft case?"

"Xu Yun!?" Qin Wan'er confirmed. "Why you? Are you crazy? Calling the police to chat?"

Xu Yun tsked. "I'm not idle! I'm reporting a crime. There's gambling in the billiard hall on Bo Wen Street. Come quickly."

"If you're lying, you're dead!" Qin Wan'er glared.

"Believe it or not." Xu Yun hung up without saying more.

Qin Wan'er stomped her feet in anger. "Xu Yun! You wait!"

Now, Qin Wan'er couldn't focus on the theft case. She got up, ready to go. Bo Wen Street was a place of mixed characters, known as the gambling and prostitution street in Wenhui District, but repeated crackdowns had failed to root it out.

So, Qin Wan'er couldn't ignore Xu Yun's words. Whether true or false, she had to check. If Xu Yun was lying, she would make him pay!
