"Alright, also, get us a private room and serve the best tea!" Lin Mu nodded and said.

"Gentlemen, this way please!" said the lady in the cheongsam, leading the way to a private room.

The cheongsam the lady wore was figure-hugging, accentuating her round and shapely backside; her gait had a swaying allure, making one feel an urge to touch.

The three great pleasures of life: sex, gambling, and drugs! This teahouse already offers two, surely the third is available too. Why wouldn't this business boom? With such beautiful ladies, it's simply a paradise! Once a customer visits, they'll be mesmerized by the environment. Of course, these exclusive services are only open to familiar guests. To newcomers like Lin Mu and Shen Yijin, they remain conventional, as without knowing the guests' identities, it could be a trap if they're undercover cops!

So, to enjoy oneself here, it's not just about money; one's identity has to be clean—just a gambler, without any special backgrounds! With the cheongsam lady leading, Lin Mu and Shen Yijin entered the private room!

Lin Mu observed the condition of the private room. It was indeed quite nice, all wooden furnishings, elegant and serene surroundings—truly a great place for enjoying tea. In the center of the room, there was a small table with a gray teapot. The cheongsam lady skillfully brewed and served the tea. If not for coming here to find Chen Shiwei, Lin Mu really wouldn't have experienced such an elegant activity!

Lin Mu picked up the tea brewed by the cheongsam lady and took a sip with feigned sophistication; indeed, it had a rich fragrance!

"Haha, not bad, Young Master Jin, give it a try!" Lin Mu chuckled.

Shen Yijin picked up his teacup and sipped gently. "Haha, indeed, not bad at all. Good tea, good tea. It seems your friend found a nice spot!"

"Yes, quite a nice place!" Lin Mu replied with a laugh, then turned to glance at the woman beside the cheongsam, "Hi, what kind of fun do you have here?"

The cheongsam woman undoubtedly knew what Lin Mu meant by "fun," but for security reasons here, she couldn't disclose much and had to report to her superior!

Judging by Lin Mu's attire and the tea he ordered, it's clear he's wealthy, but here, they can't let anyone in easily. Under normal circumstances, if one really wants to gamble here, they must initially visit and spend normally at least three times before getting allowed in for fun purposes.

"Oh, sir, this is a teahouse, what else do you want to play?" the cheongsam woman laughed.

"My friend and I came, not just for tea, but mainly attracted by the reputation, hoping to play a few games here!" Lin Mu laughed.

"Sir, I don't understand what you mean," the cheongsam woman responded.

"Haha, no worries if you don't, just report this to your superior and see if there's any leeway. Once a stranger, twice a friend!" Lin Mu chuckled.

The cheongsam woman hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Please wait a moment!"

After exiting the room, the cheongsam woman found a middle-aged man in charge, "Manager Chen, there's a guest in the shop who wants to play a few rounds!"

"No can do, shop rules state unfamiliar faces aren't allowed to play!" Manager Chen, sitting on the sofa, flatly refused with a wave of his hand.

"Manager Chen, they seem like wealthy patrons, why not take a look yourself?" the cheongsam woman suggested.

Manager Chen pondered for a while, a cigar in his mouth. Recruiting a wealthy client isn't easy; nobody wants to pass up on money these days!

"Alright, let me take a look," Manager Chen said, standing up from the sofa.

Led by the cheongsam lady, Manager Chen headed to the private room where Lin Mu was.

"Gentlemen, this is our Manager Chen; you can discuss any issues with him!" the cheongsam woman said.

Lin Mu glanced at the chubby man who walked in and greeted him with a smile, "Haha, hello, Manager Chen."

"Oh, hello, hello!" Manager Chen nodded with a smile.

Everyone knows not to hit a smiling face, so pleasantries are a must. "Manager Chen, my friend and I are first-timers here. Business with open doors shouldn't turn away customers, right? Could you grant us leniency to play a few rounds? Surely we can't just sip some tea and head back?"

Manager Chen also returned the smile, "Brother, my apologies, but the shop has its rules. Strangers aren't allowed inside."

"Manager Chen, come on now, rules are man-made. Cut us some slack, and we'll all be friends afterwards!" Lin Mu laughed.

Manager Chen felt tempted; after all, nobody wants to lose a potential new patron. Having come so far, refusing now means they might not return!

Even though it's underground business, there's still solid competition. This isn't the only gambling spot around. If this place doesn't allow gambling, customers will surely find another venue!

"Brother, who referred you here?" Manager Chen asked.

Lin Mu knew that if Manager Chen asked this, it meant he was considering it. "Haha, we were introduced by Zhang Mazi's friend!

"Zhang Mazi?"

Manager Chen knew who Zhang Mazi was; a regular big gambler here who used to drive a luxury Benz worth millions, but now rides a bicycle, having even sold his house. Zhang Mazi's introductions wouldn't have issues!

"Manager Chen, you can rest assured, we aren't any cops. We're just here to have a little fun, once strangers, twice friends!" Lin Mu said.

Manager Chen nodded, "Alright then, I'll make an exception for this."

"Haha, many thanks, Manager Chen!" Lin Mu said.

"Ah Fang, take the gentlemen upstairs to the third floor," Manager Chen instructed.

The cheongsam woman, Ah Fang, nodded and said to Lin Mu and Shen Yijin, "Gentlemen, please follow me!"

Thus, under the cheongsam woman's guidance, Lin Mu and Shen Yijin headed upstairs, but at the corner of the second floor, they were stopped by several heavy iron doors, heated and welded together with steel bars. Behind the iron doors stood two large men wearing black sunglasses.

"They're going to the third floor for games!" Ah Fang informed the two big men.

The two men nodded, promptly opened the door, then frisked Lin Mu and Shen Yijin. Finding no weapons, they were reassured. After the search, they blindfolded Lin Mu and Shen Yijin!

"Apologies, gentlemen, it's just protocol," Ah Fang explained.
