Gu Jinglian frowned and was about to reply, but Black Panther ignored him. “So be it! There’s not much use for it anyway!” Then he hung up.

  Gu Jinglian approached the entrance of the warehouse. Stepping over the yellow line in front of it, he heard a creak. The heavy roller door seemed to be equipped with a sensor device and opened automatically.

  He let himself into the warehouse. Then, the shutters fell heavily behind him. Inside, a thick layer of dust rose. Gu Jinglian covered his lips in disgust and waved to clear the air.

  The lights came on suddenly.

  He raised his eyes and looked around. There was only one large table in the huge warehouse. There was someone sitting at the table. It was a man.

  He was sitting on what looked like a torturer’s bench. On the table was the usual card dispenser one would typically see in casinos. To the man’s left was a television set. At the moment, the screen was flashing with snowflakes.

  The man was wearing a burlap sack over his head. Gu Jinglian walked over and whipped the sack away. It was his subordinate in charge of maintaining order in the Gu family’s casino.

  It could be said that he was Gu Jinglian’s right hand man in the casino.

  The man’s mouth was taped over. When he saw Gu Jinglian, a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

  This fear was not because he was afraid of anything, but because he did not expect Gu Jinglian to turn up!

  “Mmmmmmmm…”


  Gu Jinglian immediately tore the tape off his mouth. The man immediately said, “CEO Gu, you shouldn’t have come! You…”


  “What’s going on!?”


  “President Gu, please leave quickly! Don’t worry about me!”


  This subordinate thought that Gu Jinglian had come for him and had no idea that Chu He had also been captured.

  Gu Jinglian frowned. “Qingjiu. What’s going on?”


  “I… I don’t know. I woke up and I was here. I…”


  As he spoke, the snow on the television screen flickered for a moment, followed by a black-and-white video feed.

  On the screen, Black Panther sat in front of the camera, looking straight ahead calmly as if he was looking directly at them through the screen.

  “You’re a guest. Sit down!”


  Gu Jinglian suddenly realized something and looked around. He spotted surveillance cameras in the corners of the room!

  Chu He was not here!

  Likewise, Black Panther was not here either.

  And this room was already filled with surveillance cameras. He had fallen into his trap.

  Gu Jinglian did not know what other tricks there were in this room, but he heard Black Panther speak again. “Don’t be so nervous! Sit down! It’s just a game!”


  “What sort of game?”


  “Your favorite game.”


  Black Panther smiled. “See the dealer on the table?”


  Gu Jinglian appeared very calm. “Yes, I heard that CEO Gu is best at Blackjack. Back then, when I lost to you, we played Blackjack. Today, I might as well end it with Blackjack.”


  “Fine.”


  Gu Jinglian asked, “How do we play it?”


  “First of all, gambling requires stakes and chips. I wonder what chips CEO Gu brought?”


  Gu Jinglian asked again, “How much money do you want?”


  “I don’t want money.”


  Black Panther suddenly said meaningfully, “How about this. I’ll let you choose.”


  Black Panther turned the camera so that Gu Jinglian could see Chu He on the screen, still tied up. He suddenly understood what Black Panther meant by ‘bargaining chips’.

  It was either Chu He or himself.
