nAfter 3 am.

nThe casino lobby is bustling with life.

nSong Yuhu and that security guard went to the VIP room to settle the dispute. He smiled at Zhang Longjuan before he left.

nProvocation.

nSong Yuhu was provoking them.

nDong Xuebing took a step forward.

nShen Xiaoyan grabbed him. “Don’t be rash.”

nShen Xiaomei added. “We are on a ship in international waters. Don’t…”

nDong Xuebing took a deep breath to calm himself. This is their territory, and they are in international waters. He is unsure if he got enough “remaining time” to eliminate Song Yuhu and his men. It is also meaningless and might implicate Zhang Longjuan and the twins. He can survive in the sea, but they cannot. He will also implicate many innocent businessmen. Many people would die if he fought on board.

nShen Xiaoyan said. “That Song Yuhu should be the front of the casino. Someone else should be the boss. This is not a good time to take action.”

nZhang Longjuan added. “The gambling ship is too big to be owned by a small fry like him.”

nDong Xuebing replied. “But… we cannot let him off like this. He had threatened, tried to rob you, and set a trap to win all your money.”

nZhang Longjuan smiled and wrapped her arms around his arm. “I know you care for me. I am fine. This is a lesson for me too.”

n“You are fine, but I am not.” Dong Xuebing replied.

nZhang Longjuan said. “I feel better after what you said. Let’s go.”

nDong Xuebing stood there. Zhang Longjuan tugged him, but he did not move.

nZhang Longjuan turned and laughed. “I am not as weak as you think. I had been through ups and downs. This is nothing. Don’t worry. This will not beat me. I can still sell some of my shares to investors. Even if my company collapsed, I could make a comeback. Haha…”

nDong Xuebing knew Zhang Longjuan was consoling him. She does not want him to worry. However, things are not as simple as she says.

nMake a comeback?

nZhang Longjuan’s company owed too much money, and even the banks were not lending her money. How is she going to make a comeback?

nThat company is the fruit of Sis Zhang’s 20 years of hard work.

nSis Zhang is in her forties and got no more time.

nShe is in a dead end after losing all her money. She got no more chance. How can Dong Xuebing not worry for her?

nAnd that Liu Ye…

nThat’s not how it works.

nDong Xuebing will not let him off lightly.

nThe dispute in the VIP room ended, and Song Yuhu returned to the lobby with his men. He saw Zhang Longjuan and walked over with a smile. Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng followed.

n“Ms. Zhang, you are still around.” Song Yuhu said.

nZhang Longjuan laughed. “I am waiting for you, Liu Ye.”

nSong Yuhu said. “I am no. 6 among my siblings, and my men are used to calling me Liu Ye. Please don’t call me this, Ms. Zhang.”

nZhang Longjuan replied. “Thanks for what happened in the previous few days.”

n“No problem.” Song Yuhu smiled.

nDong Xuebing walked forward. Shen Xiaomei tried to stop him but failed. He walked up to Song Yuhu and put his arms around his shoulders.

nSong Yuhu tensed up. “What do you want?”

nThe security guards walked over quickly.

nDong Xuebing smiled. “Nothing. I just want to have a chat with you.”

nSong Yuhu raised his hand, and the security guards stopped.

nThe commotion attracted many people’s attention.

nSong Yuhu knew his security guards were not Dong Xuebing’s match. He heard about Dong Xuebing from his men and was wary of him. He is not afraid of him because they are in international waters, his territory. He believes Dong Xuebing will not do anything rash. He can fight ten or twenty men, but can he fight against fifty or one hundred? Can he survive in the vast sea alone?

nThe twins’ guesses were correct. Song Yuhu is not the real boss. He should be a manager. The person behind him can influence Hong Kong’s government and is powerful enough to eliminate all competitors within a few months. That’s why Song Yuhu dares to be so arrogant. He is not afraid of trouble as someone would protect him. Also, no one dares to create trouble with this ship’s background.

nDong Xuebing could tell this casino was not simple and did not plan to start a fight now. But he still kept his arm on Song Yuhu’s shoulder. “I always feel we should not go overboard. You tried to rob us and used despicable means to cheat Sis Zhang. Don’t you think this is too much?”

nSong Yuhu laughed. “Zhang Longjuan did not leave any leeway for me previously.”

nDong Xuebing said. “Ms. Zhang won against you all fairly. She did not cheat or use despicable means. Stop talking nonsense. You should know no one can stop me if I want to kill you now.”

n“I know.” Song Yuhu replied. “But you can try.”

nThe two security guards heard Dong Xuebing and thought to themselves. This guy is too boastful. You are short, skinny, and injured. Your arm is still wrapped in bandages. Who can you kill in this condition? You say you can kill Liu Ye? Are you joking? They moved closer.

nBut Song Yuhu looked at the security guards coldly, and they stopped moving closer.

nThis young man could wipe out twenty of his men when heavily injured. How can these security guards win against Dong Xuebing? Song Yuhu does not want them to embarrass him.

nNo one would believe it if they did not see Dong Xuebing fight.

nOnly Song Yuhu knows how powerful this young man is. That’s why he did not move.

n“Haha… killing you is too easy, and many people are looking at us. I don’t want to be arrested because of you. I will not hit or scold you. I got other ways to punish you. You don’t own this casino, right?”

nSong Yuhu did not reply.

n“I know the answer even if you don’t reply. You would not do these things if you got the money to open a casino.” Dong Xuebing looked at Song Yuhu. “Oh, how much is this casino’s earnings today? One hundred million or 200 million USD? The casino has a promotion today. Zero commission? Then I estimate your earnings for today should be around 100 million USD.” Casino profit is high, but there are other costs, like sailing to international waters.

nSong Yuhu looked at Dong Xuebing. He is confused.

nDong Xuebing continued. “What would happen to you if I win more than one hundred million USD from you? Will the real boss finish you off for me?”

nSong Yuhu laughed. “You want to win 100 million USD? You must be dreaming. You can try if you want, but I remember you all got no money now.”

nMr. Wei frowned. “That’s enough.”

nMs. Leng said. “People are watching. Ms. Hang, your lover thinks too highly of himself.”

nZhang Longjuan laughed. “He makes the decision, and I cannot stop him.”

nMore guests in the casino were looking at them. They were confused and wondered what happened.

nSuddenly, a group of men entered the casino lobby.

nThe person in front was an old man in his sixties. He was holding a gold walking stick.

nBehind him were almost thirty security guards.

nThe old man might have known what happen. He stared at Song Yuhu coldly.

nSong Yuhu greeted politely. “Senior Zhou.”

nSenior Zhou ignored him and looked at Dong Xuebing. His expression became friendlier. “You can let us know if you are unhappy with anything here. We are newly opened and require feedback from our guests to improve our service.”

nThis man should be one of the people behind this casino. Dong Xuebing could tell from Song Yuhu’s attitude.

nDong Xuebing smiled and let go of Song Yuhu’s shoulder. “I am pleased with this place, especially Mr. Song. You had found a good manager.”

nSenior Zhou laughed. “Xiao Song is still lacking. I apologize if he offended you all. But I think you all should disperse. The other guests still want to enjoy themselves. What do you think, young man? Can you do it for me?”

nThis old man is good with words.

nThe old man spoke nicely, and Dong Xuebing returned the favor. He nodded.

nHowever, he is not going to take back his words. He is going all out today.
