Mu Huan knew that some places wouldn’t allow any one person to get away with a big haul. Once a person had been identified to be such, they would be detained by the ground staff. If they were lucky, they’d be made to return most of their winnings; if they weren’t, there’d be trouble!

“The big boss of this organization is quite powerful and it’s not clear where they detain these people. I’d love to earn some cash, but I don’t think I’m up for this,” the person said regretfully.

“In that case, please, could you find out more about the current situation?” Mu Huan transferred another sum of money to him.

“I’ll try my very best,” he said and hung up.

“This death-deserving Wu Xingye. I had already told him before he left not to go to that sort of place, but he went anyway!” Whatever Mu Huan thought, Li Meng had thought of the same thing. They were quite sure that Wu Xingye had gone there to make some money, and he probably made too much such that the people plotted against him.

Wu Xingye’s grandfather was at one time the Gambling King, and Wu Xingye himself had some talent in this area. However, gambling was a vice. Hence, his grandfather had given an order that he was not to use this sort of skill to earn his living. For this reason, even though life was tough, he never had the thought of being a gambler.

Mu Huan frowned and said, “He had always practiced self-restraint and had never used this set of skills to earn money. So why did he go to a place like this with his client? Furthermore, what was this about you telling him not to go to these places prior to his trip? Do you mean you knew he would visit these places?”

“Xingye’s younger brother ran someone over with his bike, and now the person is asking for over 600 thousand as compensation or they’d press charges. On the other hand, his father was finally at a stage when he could go for surgery. The surgery fees cost an estimated 300 thousand. All that comes up to be just under a million.

“Before he left, he made the remark that he wished there was an easier way to earn a living. With the knowledge that T Country is famous as a venue for gambling, I was afraid that he’d be tempted so I had warned him not to go — there are other ways to resolve his issues. He promised me that he wouldn’t go, but he did after all!” Li Meng said angrily.

“Why didn’t you tell me about all these things he was going through at home?” Mu Huan’s frown deepened.

“Xingye wouldn’t let me mention it. He knew you weren’t having an easy time either.”

“But things are different for me now! Even though I’m still working hard to earn a living, that money is for setting aside. In times of an emergency, I have a wealthy husband, so why shouldn’t we use his help?” Mu Huan slapped the girl lightly on her head.

What were they thinking, keeping things like that from her?!

“I told him that as well, but he wouldn’t let me tell you, so what could I do?!” Li Meng was most indignant.

“If anything like this should happen again in the future, you have to tell me in the first instance!” They’d be the death of her!

“Uh-huh.”

Just when Mu Huan was about to speak again, a message came in on her cell phone. After she had read the message, her expression darkened.

Sensing that change in her mood, Li Meng moved closer to Mu Huan and peered into the screen. Instantly, her expression changed!

She said anxiously, “Xiao Huan, what do we do now?!”

“Are you guys going to keep things from me again in the future?” Mu Huan really hoped that after this episode, they would have learned their lesson and tell her such things without delay!

This was to prevent things from getting too out of hand.

“No, I won’t! In the future, I will tell you everything… at the first instant! Xiao Huan, please think of a way to solve this!” Li Meng cried anxiously as she clutched Mu Huan’s arm.

Mu Huan was quiet for a few moments before she said, “Now the only thing we can do is for me to find an excuse to make a trip to T Country.

“You don’t have to worry too much about it, Xingye should be fine for now.”

“I will go with you!”

“Okay,” Mu Huan agreed, thinking that she’d probably need to use Li Meng as an excuse.

As Li Meng got ready to head back to her hostel to do some packing, something struck her. “How are you going to tell Bo Junyan that you’re making an overseas trip?”
