"Haha, once we finish this matter, I'll treat you to a nice meal. For now, let's exchange some of the money and use a small portion to gamble—come play along with me!" Lin Mu said.

"Mm," Shen Yijin nodded with a smile.

Lin Mu went to the counter, exchanged fifty thousand of his winning chips for cash, which of course was deposited onto a card for safety, keeping five thousand in chips. Lin Mu and Shen Yijin started walking around the venue, looking for opportunities to strike!

Although the casino atmosphere was frenetic, Lin Mu and Shen Yijin couldn't forget their main task—getting the job done was crucial! They walked to a table with a popular three-card game, and Lin Mu sat down! Lin Mu immediately bet five thousand in chips for the round!

What Lin Mu was most interested in was the three-card game; playing it was the most thrilling, challenging, and the quickest way to make money! The round ended, and Lin Mu effortlessly won another ten thousand! Observing this scene, the person opposite felt frustrated, as now everyone knew Lin Mu was truly impressive in gambling, becoming the focal point of the entire casino!

With such a Gambling God in the casino, who dares to play? No matter how much money they have, they always lose it completely!

"Let me play a round with you!"

At this moment, a bald man walked over and said, then sat across from Lin Mu. Lin Mu glanced at the bald man—his face was covered in stubble, muscled torso, arms tattooed with Cyan Dragon and White Tiger, and a thick gold chain around his neck, exuding a domineering aura!

"Haha, let's play, I'll bet ten thousand!" Lin Mu smirked confidently, pushing the chips to the center of the table.

The bald man with a cigarette also didn't hold back, pushing the chips in front of him to the center, "Ten thousand, I'm in!"

The staff began dealing the cards, while Lin Mu had already prepared in the previous round, planning to cheat intentionally to get caught by them; only this way could he confirm if Chen Shiwei was captured in here!

Once the dealing ended, Lin Mu picked up his cards and smiled! The bald man picked up his cards and likewise grinned widely! It appeared both of their hands were good!

"I call, you show first!" Lin Mu smiled.

"JQK!" The bald man placed his cards on the table, looking at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu glanced, chuckled, "Sorry, QKA, just enough to beat you!"

The bald man's eyes widened and immediately glared at the dealer, who looked helplessly at the bald man, indicating ignorance of what just happened!

Lin Mu had already noticed the bald man wasn't really a player here; when he entered, Lin Mu had observed that among the watchers, there was this bald man!

The bald man's eyes flashed coldly and slammed the table, "You're cheating!"

No sooner had he spoken, Lin Mu deliberately let a card drop from him! Lin Mu's timing was perfect, and as the card fell, everyone around suddenly became alert!

"Wow, this guy's cheating!"

"Damn, no wonder this kid is so skilled!"

"Exactly, this is freaking outrageous!"

People began discussing animatedly, secretly sighing, realizing this person would soon meet his doom! Nonetheless, the gamblers felt it tragic for Lin Mu, the Newbie, thinking he was foolhardy for daring to cheat in a place like this! Because here was a very clear rule—if caught cheating, it's either fingers or hands that get chopped.

Seems like this would be a hand-chopping scenario! Quickly, a few thugs patrolling the hall made their way over, and folks rapidly cleared a path to avoid being mistaken targets!

"Get him!" The bald man ordered.

The thugs nodded and rushed at Lin Mu. He didn't resist and was subdued by them!

"What do you want to do?" Shen Yijin rushed up, attempting to shove off the thugs, though Shen Yijin was merely playing along.

Seeing Shen Yijin's unreasonable action, the crowd shook their heads at him, "What a fool, even daring to stand out now; if not the hand, it'll be the fingers chopped!"

Sure enough, the thugs quickly subdued Shen Yijin too! The bald man looked at Lin Mu, lightly blowing smoke in his face, "You've got guts, kid, daring to cheat here—you'll pay for it!"

Lin Mu smirked but said nothing, while the bald man reiterated the rules to the surrounding guests, especially with Lin Mu and Shen Yijin as examples, issuing a live warning!

After speaking, the bald man waved his hand, leading the thugs who escorted Lin Mu and Shen Yijin out of the gambling hall and into the corridor. Lin Mu and Shen Yijin followed the bald man into a private elevator!

The elevator started from this floor, marked with 'Unauthorized Entry Prohibited'; two guards stood by the entrance, and in front of the elevator, another door blocked it, indicating that security here was quite stringent!

With such strict guarding, there's definitely something fishy; just reaching the gambling venue was challenging enough, let alone taking an elevator! Once in the elevator, it soon ascended to the tenth floor, doors opened, revealing yet another iron gate outside!

The two guards opened the gate before they could disembark from the elevator, otherwise, there was no way without it!

Lin Mu cursed inwardly, "Damn it, the security here's ridiculously tight; forcing through might not even lead here—easy to get lost, especially when clueless about the route!" Lin Mu felt secretly relieved, thankful he pretended to be just a normal gambler to get in here; otherwise, Chen Shiwei would likely be untraceable!

Judging by the situation, if Chen Shiwei was indeed captured by Browning here, this would be the holding area; from the outside, it looked like a regular teahouse, but entering revealed such layers of complexity!

Out of the elevator, following the bald man left and right through several corridors!

"Big Baldy, where exactly are you taking us?" Lin Mu asked from behind.

Big Baldy glanced back at Lin Mu, "You'll know shortly, haha!"

"Damn, chopping a hand doesn't need to be so elaborate, right?" Lin Mu felt frustrated.

"Shut up, another word and it'll cost you your life directly!" warned a guard behind.

Lin Mu felt frustrated but decided to see what they intended to do nonetheless!

Quickly, under the bald man's lead, they arrived at an iron door, where a guard promptly opened it.

"Go in!" ordered a thug, pushing Lin Mu inside.

Once inside, Lin Mu was taken aback by the sight! In front of Lin Mu, there were rows of iron cages made with reinforced steel, resembling ancient prison cells; each cage held five or six people, both rows basically filled on the left side, totaling more than thirty people at least!
