Chapter 33: 5 Minutes, and I can Put You Down (1/2)

Xu Cheng had the money, but he didn’t have the time to initiate the transaction so he needed Shen Yao to do him this favor. He still needed to stay here and help find the little girl’s father. After looking for a long time, Xu Cheng finally had no choice but to use his weird ability. He stood on the stairs, overlooking the entire hall. Then, closing his eyes and calming his heart, he started feeling the environment with just his hearing. A wave of loud noises suddenly entered his ears, being amplified many times and coming in from all directions.

In the area where his eyes swept past, his ears could hear everything, as if he was eavesdropping on all the conversations in that direction. Combining this new ability with the detection abilities that he had trained when he was in the army, his vision and hearing focused like a pair of binoculars at the farthest corner.

“Manager.”

When he heard that title, Xu Cheng immediately locked onto the source of the sound as well as the man in a white vest smoking a cigarette and sitting in the corner, making tea.

He asked the people around him, “Any dangerous people or pro gamblers tonight?”

“None at the moment.”

The manager nodded. “Be aware, especially foreigners. If they happen to be a gunslinger coming here to cause trouble in our establishment, just follow the old rules. Leave a hand here and throw the rest away to feed the fish in the river.”

The man nodded. “Then what about the debtors detained in the warehouse?”

“Get them to find a way to get money, and if they say they can’t, just beat them.”

The man said with a bit of concern, “Manager, there’s a guy that’s quite difficult to deal with.”

Manager: “Who?”

“Yang Congxia, this guy lost the money he came here with, and then he said something about losing life-saving money, and asked us to return him 50 thousand. He gambled again and lost, and then borrowed 100 thousand yuan through usury, and then lost again. Then, the guy basically became a bit crazy and asked us to return him his money. This r----d, if we let them win in the end, then how’s the casino going to make money and operate? The r----d even went to those high-level tables to gamble, which are operated by the best dealers of our casino; it’s only natural for him to lose.”

“We don’t need to bother with people like him. Just beat him up and throw him out.”

Xu Cheng immediately turned around, and after passing by a navigation map of the entire building, he glanced at the warehouse’s location and directly went there.

There were two security guards standing outside of the warehouse, and when Xu Cheng walked over, the two were very surprised to see a stranger. They immediately shouted, “What are you doing here? This is a restricted area that only employees can enter.”

Xu Cheng smiled and handed cigarettes to the two. “Bro, where is the nearest bathroom here? I really need to take a leak.”

A person came over, placed the cigarette behind his ears, and pointed in another location. “Just go straight in the opposite direction.”

Right after he finished speaking, Xu Cheng directly raised a palm and struck the back of his neck. The other security guard immediately raised his electric baton but was sent flying into the wall by Xu Cheng’s swift kick, painfully falling down to the floor.

Xu Cheng looked around the two’s pockets for the keys, opened the door of the warehouse, and shouted towards the inside, “Yang Congxia.”

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a beard and a pair of dispirited eyes came out from a dark corner.

There were dust and wounds on his face and body, so he was probably beaten already.

“I’m coming to take you out.”

“No!” Yang Congxia shook his head and was a bit resistant. “I’m not going. I lost all my money, I’m not going. I don’t have the face to see my wife and children anymore.”

Xu Cheng replied, “Then you won’t see your wife for the last time? You won’t regret it? I don’t have the obligation to take care of your business, but I pity your daughter. I hope you can give your child some positive energy, at least give her more courage to face the things happening in life! Escaping is not going to solve any problems, let me go. I will take you out of here.”
