As night fell, Zhang Ziyi drove Meng Hao to a secret location. To avoid being recognized by acquaintances, the two of them wore masks.
After a series of twists and turns, they finally entered the casino.
The casino had a style reminiscent of Hong Kong gambling films from the last century, with a strong atmosphere. There weren't many gamblers inside; most were men in suits and ties, which made Meng Hao feel a little uncomfortable.
He still prefers a more free and easy atmosphere, and always feels out of place here.
The man called Leng Ge was a very conspicuous bald man. He grinned when he saw them arrive.
Meng Hao immediately sensed that the other party was no good, and even felt a natural hostility towards him.
The bald man told them to go to a designated gambling table and that the dealers there were all masters of cheating, able to deal whatever cards they wanted, even down to the suits.
Even after they sat down at the gambling table, Meng Hao was still a little unsure of himself. However, the bald man was generous and gave each of them 10,000 chips.
"Why not take advantage of these free chips?" Meng Hao thought, and casually placed a hundred on the bet, just to see what would happen.
When 100 became 200, Meng Hao was filled with resentment, regretting that he had bet too little!
As time went on, he accumulated more and more chips, while Zhang Ziyi at the next table was also winning big, quickly multiplying his original chips dozens of times.
After getting carried away, Meng Hao felt that winning all the time wasn't enough, so he deliberately told the dealer not to cheat and to see how his luck would be.
As a result, he won and lost, and still managed to earn a few tens of thousands in half an hour.
As he succumbed to despair, he failed to notice that the other gamblers in the casino had left, leaving only a few muscular bodyguards in black.
He was the only one playing at the table when a handsome and wealthy young man sat down at some point.
Meng Hao looked up somewhat displeased, feeling that this person had disturbed his enjoyment.
Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Meng Hao's expression instantly changed.
"Meng Hao, how have you been?" The young man crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile.
Meng Hao's throat was a little dry, and he tugged at his mask: "You've mistaken me for someone else."
"Chairman Ling, you've arrived!" Zhang Ziyi took off his mask and stood beside Ling Yun with a fawning expression, like a lapdog.
"Zhang Ziyi, you bastard!"
Meng Hao nearly fainted; he never expected to fall for Zhang Ziyi's trick again!
"Haozi, you guessed it, it was me who betrayed you again."
Zhang Ziyi's shameless, smirking expression made Meng Hao's fists itch.
Since Zhang Ziyi is on Lingyun's side, then this place...
Meng Hao stiffly turned his head and found the bald man and several other bodyguards looking at him with ill intent.
He immediately tried to run, but the next second, a cold metal object pressed against his back.
He dejectedly raised his hand, his face even more ashen than if his mother had died.
The bald bodyguard captain came up, ripped off Meng Hao's mask, and forced him into a chair.
Ling Yun sat opposite him, with a gambling table between them.
"Meng Hao," Ling Yun called his name again, "Don't you like gambling? Then let's gamble this time."
Meng Hao glanced at him but did not reply.
"If you win, you can exchange all these chips for cash and take them with you, and I won't pursue the matter. If you don't believe me, we can draw up a written agreement."
Ling Yun crossed his legs: "So, are you going to bet or not?"
"bet!"
Meng Hao's eyes were bloodshot: "However, I don't want to play ordinary gambling games. If I'm going to play, I want to play big!"
Ling Yun smiled slightly: "How do you want to play?"
"I'll bet my life!" Meng Hao wanted nothing more than to devour Ling Yun alive. "Do you dare to bet?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Ling Yun took the revolver from the bodyguard. "You know how to play the roulette game, right?"
"meeting!"
Meng Hao stared at the revolver. He was backed into a corner, but a sudden urge arose within him again!
I will win this round of life and death!
"Since you know the rules, I won't go into too much detail."
Ling Yun picked up the gun, loaded six bullets while Meng Hao looked on in confusion, and then aimed it at the other man's head.
"If all six bullets in my gun jam, then you can keep the money, and I'll leave."
Chapter 31 The Gambler's End
Ling Yun had already devised this plan after learning that Meng Hao had won his first pot of gold through gambling.
He loved watching gambling movies when he was a child, but the main characters almost always met with bad endings. The director was worried about the negative reception, so he deliberately changed the ending to be like this.
This isn't about getting it approved for censorship; it's the ultimate fate of all gamblers.
This casino was actually set up by a film crew for shooting. Galaxy Group had invested in it, and as the esteemed client, he was able to borrow it for one night before the official start of filming.
The gamblers inside were actually hired actors; only the bodyguards were real.
Once you get involved in gambling, especially if you've won money, you've already changed.
The idea of quitting gambling through sheer willpower is only temporary. You never know what a gambler's thought process is like. He might just make you despair again after you think he has reformed.
However, the only way to lure Meng Hao over is if he desperately needs money and has nowhere else to turn.
Now, Meng Hao is trapped by the aura of being intellectually challenged, and without a clear head, he has been tricked by Zhang Ziyi's sweet talk and boarded a pirate ship.
Staring at the dark muzzle of the gun in front of him, Meng Hao's heart jumped into his throat.
He didn't think Ling Yun was joking with him by giving him a fake gun. He had seen the loading process just now, and those golden bullets were definitely not fake.
"Don't move~" the young man said with a smile, placing his hand on the trigger. "It'll be quick, just a quick shot."
Click!
The hammer struck, and Meng Hao clutched his head in fright, but the pain didn't come for a long time.
I'm fine!
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Ling Yun holding a gun through the gap between his arms.
Due to the special construction of revolvers, they almost never jam, but misfires can occur for various reasons (such as bullet quality issues).
However, due to the revolver's design, even if a misfire occurs, simply pulling the trigger will rotate the cylinder, causing the misfired round to deflect from its original trajectory and preventing it from remaining inside the barrel and posing an explosion risk.
Meng Hao thought he was just lucky to have escaped a calamity, but little did he know that he had exhausted all his luck.
Gunshots rang out suddenly, a large hole appeared in the table in front of Meng Hao, and the bullet pierced through the wooden tabletop and embedded itself in the floor in front of his legs.
A golden liquid flowed down his inner thigh, and Meng Hao's pants were quickly soaked.
Meng Hao was convulsing, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes. The smell of gunpowder mixed with the stench of urine made the bodyguards around him instinctively move away from him.
[Due to the protagonist Meng Hao's luck reaching zero, he has lost his protagonist status!]
[Congratulations, brother, for completely defeating the "protagonist" Meng Hao and winning a chance to draw a prize! Would you like to draw it now?]
"Not in a hurry."
[Alright! Since it's the first time your brother has defeated the main character, Xiao Ai will be giving him an extra reward, which will be distributed along with the prize he wins!]
"I love you to death!"
Ling Yun pointed the gun upwards and blew away the smoke at the muzzle.
"Meng Hao, you lost."
Even if Meng Hao, with his luck at its peak, came over, he would still lose miserably in this gamble.
So what if you're the chosen one? Before the truth, everyone is equal!
Ling Yun looked up at the ceiling, his gaze seemingly passing through the roof, and met the eyes of some being.
Let alone a mere blue-level protagonist, even a future gold or rainbow-level protagonist would still have to kneel before this great villain!
"get out."
Having lost his protagonist status, Meng Hao has essentially lost everything and poses no threat to Ling Yun whatsoever.
However, Ling Yun didn't want to take that risk and preferred to deal with it quietly.
The bodyguards responsible for keeping an eye on Meng Hao followed him after he left, intending to find a suitable auspicious place to send him away.
Meng Hao walked along the road, dejected and lost. He could no longer see any brilliance in his life, and what awaited him was endless regret and guilt.
He didn't know how long he had walked, nor where he had ended up.
Suddenly, a car appeared out of nowhere.
The driver, Meng Hao, was also someone they knew.
Lai Xiaohu was pale and his lips were blue. Fortunately, he was quite skilled in martial arts and was very alert. When Lao Mo broke into his house, he fought him to the death. Although he was no match for him, he managed to escape.
He suffered severe internal injuries and doesn't have much time left.
No, I can't die yet, I can't die like this...
Lai Xiaohu bit the tip of his tongue, trying to regain his senses.
But his injuries were too severe, and Lao Mo was still following him in his car. If he stopped, he would only face certain death!
Just as he was about to completely lose consciousness, he saw a figure.
He couldn't brake in time and crashed straight into it...
Later, a news story appeared in major media outlets.
"A wanted gangster, surnamed Hu, struck a young man while fleeing Beijing at 8 PM tonight. Because Hu was not wearing a seatbelt, the young man's head slammed into the windshield, resulting in both their deaths… The Third Traffic Committee of Beijing reminds you: There are countless roads, but safety is paramount. Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes!"
When the report was published, Ling Yun was doing exercises with Wu Qianyi in his arms.
The bed sheet is adorned with plum blossoms, a symbol of a young girl's blossoming and a declaration of Lingyun's victory.
Just as he expected, the way Wu Qianyi was picked up by him did indeed have a unique charm.
Compared to Ling Yun, her petite body was like a rag doll. She had no ability to resist in his arms and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
Under Ling Yun's powerful force, her delicate body was thrown very high each time, almost severing the connection between the two, only to fall back down under the influence of gravity, welcoming that soul-deep impact.
Her two jade-like arms, as smooth as lotus roots, were wrapped around the young man's neck, her legs were intertwined around his waist, and she was being held in Ling Yun's large hands, bouncing up and down.
Ling Yun could even carry her around the room, enjoying the experience while simultaneously training his willpower.
The other girl on the bed was already in a defeated CG state, lying there motionless, with only her chest rising and falling slightly.
After a grueling half-hour battle, Wu Qianyi, whose arms were sore and numb, finally received the beauty and nourishing tonic.
Ling Yun put her down, scooped up the beautiful school beauty who was pretending to be asleep, and carried her two deadly legs on his back to continue his journey...
As dawn broke in the east, Ling Yun finally fell into a deep sleep, embracing the two beauties.
Tonight, he not only expended a lot of his vital energy, but also a lot of his physical strength. If he hadn't advanced to the late stage of Bone Forging after defeating the protagonist, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
He could still do it again, but since the two women's younger sisters were both a little swollen and red, he told them to rest first.
In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the floor.
Ling Yun keenly sensed the light, released the two women's arms and legs that were wrapped around him like octopuses, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains.
The blinding sunlight shone on his face. Ling Yun closed his eyes and felt the natural light.
Oh right, I haven't used the lottery chance after defeating Meng Hao yet!
"Little Love?"
【I am here! 】
"Draw it for me...wait a minute!"
Ling Yun suddenly remembered something, jumped back onto the bed, and put his arm around Bai Xin's waist: "Let's start the lottery!"
Bai, the school beauty, has the talent of "Ripples of Blessing". Now that I have raised her favorability to 99, she should have already received the full boost.
【Great! 】
