There was a privately owned casino in Harbin. Xiao Bing didn’t now its owner. He heard of it from Lv Zhe. After having dinner with Yu Wenhua, he asked Lv Zhe to drive him to the casino. Xiao Bing didn’t ask Yu Wenhua why he allowed its existence, because he believed that what exists is reasonable. There must be an unknown reason behind it.
The casino was located inside a mansion. When the guard saw that the driver was Yu Wenhua, he let the car in without asking questions. Lv Zhe rolled down the window as Xiao Bing got out of the car, “Though Mr. Yu didn’t shut this place down, he still doesn’t like it. I should go now because I need to pick him up. Enjoy yourself. But be careful and don’t lose all your money!”
Xiao Bing waved his hands. After Lv Zhe drove off, he whirled around and stepped into the mansion.
Ever since Lv Zhe’s car drove into the yard, a pale-skinned young man on the second floor had been fixing his eyes on Xiao Bing. Beside him stood a middle-aged man clad in a black shirt. There were two clipped mustaches on his face. He seed very respectful while bowing.
The young man watched Xiao Bing get out of the car. Then he asked in a faint voice, “Do you know this man?”
The middle-aged man cast Xiao Bing a glance, pondered for a mont and shook his head, “No, I don’t.”
Xiao Bing had just taken Master Hou’s place for a few days. Most of the others rely heard of his na. So of them were even not even familiar with this na.”
The young man said, “But I suppose you are familiar with that car?”
The middle-aged man smiled, “Yes, yes. It’s Mr. Yu’s car.”
“So it’s Yu Wenhua’s driver who drove him here. I believe few n in Hei Province are given such an honor. Don’t underestimate him. I need you to serve him tonight.”
The middle-aged man’s face turned serious and he replied respectfully, “As you say, Master Xu. I will go downstairs then.”
“Go.”
The middle-aged man took his leave reverently.
Xiao Bing walked into the hall. The guards didn’t stop him. Two servants ca to him smiling, “Excuse , do you have recomndations?”
Xiao Bing shook his head and asked, “What? I need a recomndation to co here?”
The two servants who spoke looked just over 20. They both behaved very respectfully, which showed how well-trained they were. They wouldn’t just let anyone in, but at the sa ti, they are careful not to offend any custor.
One of them put on an apologetic smile, “That’s the regulation here.”
Suddenly a deep voice drifted into their ears, “You two can leave. I’ll attend to this guest myself.”
The middle-aged man trotted down the stairs. The two servants gasped, “Mr. Lu… We understand. We apologize to you, sir. The house steward will attend to your needs from now on.”
Then the two took their exits quietly.
Mr. Lu ca over to Xiao Bing, smilingly. He cupped one hand before another and grinned, “I’m sorry for their rudeness. I assu it’s your first ti here, right? But I saw you walking out of Mr. Yu’s car, and that makes us friends.”
Xiao Bing was not surprised. There were few who didn’t know Yu Wenhua’s car and fewer still who dared to ignore it. So it was reasonable for him to be so respectful.
Xiao Bing would not be so polite since this Mr. Lu didn’t know his identity. He nodded and shot this man a glance. Then he said, “I just want to have so fun here. It’s the first ti I have co here. I was told that you have everything here.”
Mr. Lu put on a mysterious smile, “Yes. Sorry, I haven’t properly introduced myself. My na is Lu Yuanlong and I’m in charge of this place. And may I know your na. Since you are Mr. Yu’s friend, I can give you a pass for free. But I need your na first.”
Xiao Bing thought of ntioning his own na, but then he changed his mind and said, “My na is Long Jun.”
Because Xiao Bing was called the Dragon Master both in Jingdu and the Dark World, sotis he would call himself Long Jun.
“Just call the Dragon Master.” Xiao Bing added.
“It’s a pleasure to et you, Dragon Master.” Lu Yuanlong searched for this na in his mind, but he found nothing. Yet the smile was still on his face, “Dragon Master, are you in the mood for a few rounds?”
“Of course.”
“Then you have co to the right place. You won’t find another place like this in Harbin. This is the only casino in the capital city. Shall I take you there now?”
“Okay.” Xiao Bing quietly followed the steward into a small room near the hall. Mr. Lu gently knocked on a wall twice and then it opened, revealing a tunnel.
Trailing behind the steward, Xiao Bing asked in a calm voice, “How did you manage to open a casino here? The governnt doesn’t care?”
The steward turned around and smiled eerily, “In this world, there are places that are beyond the governnt’s jurisdiction. Don’t you agree, Dragon Master?”
Xiao Bing nodded and didn’t say anything, because this man was right. Indeed there were places in this world that were beyond the governnt’s reach. But most of them were usually under the protection of certain powerful organizations. Xiao Bing ca here to have fun, not to cause trouble. So he stopped asking.
It was a whole new world down the passage. The sounds of mahjong, cards, and dices kept jangling in Xiao Bing’s ears. n and won surrounded one table after another, having fun. In the anti, the servant girls clad in midriff-baring tops shuttled back and forth in the crowd while holding trays of a variety of drinks. So girls could not help casting Xiao Bing an extra glance when he passed by them. There were many young and rich players here, but few could have Mr. Lu in their company.
He called a servant over and said sothing to him. Soon, the servant fetched Xiao Bing a VIP Card and so chips. Xiao Bing took them without looking too carefully at them. Xiao Bing knew that the more he behaved like this, the more importance this man would attach to him. Though Xiao Bing was here rely to have fun, he didn’t want his identity to be exposed or suspected.
Xiao Bing looked at this man and said, “Mr. Lu, you don’t have to accompany anymore. I will just walk around.”
“Okay.” The steward was still smiling. “The balance of your card is zero. Normally to get a VIP card one needs to transfer 500 thousand into it. The chips in your hand are worth 100 thousand. If you lose them all, you can just ask a servant to take you to buy more chips with cash or card. I’ll leave you then. I hope you can go ho with fruitful results.”
“Okay.” Xiao Bing nodded smilingly. “I can help myself.”
Xiao Bing felt a lot more relaxed after the steward left. Though he may look imposing to have a sidekick, sotis the fun would be spoiled. Then he walked to the tables with the chips.
Sitting straight on the sofa, Master Xu was looking at the big screen in front of him. In the screen Xiao Bing seed to be looking for a table. A sudden knock on the door drifted into his ears. “Co in.”
Lu Yuanlong walked in. Master Xu asked, “So have you found out who he is?”
“He said his na was Long Jun.”
“Long Jun?” Master Xu frowned, trying to find sothing that might have anything to do with this na. Then he shook his head, “You know Hei Province better than . Is there any prominent family nad Long in Hei Province?”
Lu Yuanlong shook his head, “No, I haven’t heard.”
“Isn’t it strange? Because there is no such family in Jingdu. This ans he is neither from Hei Province nor Jingdu. But he might be a young master of other prominent families. Otherwise, Yu Wenhua would not have sent him here for nothing. We barely have anything to do with this man.”
Lu Yuanlong grinned, “Actually no matter who he is, it’s not necessary for us to waste ti on it. You are a powerful man, Master Xu. You don’t need to understand Yu Wenhua’s purpose.”
Flattery ca easily to this slick man.
There was a hint of pride on Master Xu’s face. But then he shook his head. “It’s too absolute. Though I ca from Jingdu, Yu Wenhua is still the governor of this city. He holds great power in Hei Province. We have opened this casino for quite a long ti. Though Yu Wenhua dares not shut this place down, it’s not a good thing to aggravate him seeing he’s a local. There are deeper reasons behind it. We need to keep a good relationship with him. But he’s a decent man who isn’t so interested in the likes of us. Maybe this Long Jun is a chance for us.”
Xiao Bing ca only because he wanted to have so fun before the war began. Yet he had not expected this trip to draw unnecessary attention on him.
