In front of the French windows in the bedroom…
Wu Mei swirled her wine glass as she stared at the scarlet liquid inside in a daze.
The phone screen gradually dimmed and froze at the page where the bank balance reflected only four digits. Wu Mei rubbed her temples as she felt a slight headache coming on.
She had made a threat back at the sanatorium and she was indeed planning to acquire the Wu Corporation.
However, she obviously didn’t have that much money right now.
Wu Mei opened the special agent forum, intending to find out where pirates were rampant and earn a fortune from them.
Ding dong…
Just then, she received a message on her phone. It was an advertisement for an underground casino.
Wu Mei’s eyes instantly lit up as she thought of an idea. Grabbing her coat, she hurriedly left the villa through the window and headed straight for the underground casino.
…
Night-time at the casino is always lively.
Holding the few chips she had bought, Wu Mei cautiously studied the tables with the highest returns and win rate.
Noisy conversations surrounded her as she approached the roulette table and observed…
“Dr Lin? You’re here again? How much did you win tonight?”
“Aiya, Dr Lin isn’t afraid of losing money. I heard that in order to get him to treat Old Master Li, the Li family paid him 50 million!”
Wu Mei’s hearing was sharp. She propped herself up on the gambling table and turned around to see a few gangsters look-alike surrounding Lin Liguo. They hooked their arms around his shoulders and held him down, forcing him to remain seated and not be able to get up.
50 million?!
Li Nanchen is really generous!
Wu Mei took the money she had won from the few chips she had casually thrown out just now and weighed it in her palm.
“What’s that bit? In a few days, when they come back to beg me, I won’t go even if it’s 100 million! Not unless he marries my daughter!” Lin Liguo bragged after drinking some alcohol. However, Wu Mei, who had been about to leave, happened to hear his words and stopped in her tracks.
She turned her head and sneered. Pushing the onlooking gamblers aside, she then sat across from Lin Liguo.
“What are you playing? I’ll gamble with you.” Wu Mei placed a few chips on the table and challenged him.
When Lin Liguo saw that it was her, he subconsciously covered his injured finger but quickly regained his composure.
“With just you?” Pointing at the chips in front of Wu Mei, he mocked, “You’re not fit to play against me.”
Lin Liguo had some skills in terms of gambling.
However, he was stupid because he didn’t know how to stop. He demanded so much medical fees and even wanted Lin Piaopiao to Li Nanchen in order to reap profits from the Li family.
