ntaintop, one could see clouds gathering in the sky, thick and swirling like smoke. In the distance, a patch of red clouds resembled a fiery crater suspended in the heavens.Heavenly Fire……If a real me...Da Bao saw my puzzled expression and gestured with his hand, "It's all the slang used in this area. The gangsters at the scene use these phrases."

"Originally, 'throwing bait' refers to lending high-interest loans. They specifically team up to scam gamblers who are desperate to make a profit, then lure them into borrowing money.

Pleading gold is essentially a black loan shark operation, and they don't accept ordinary items; they only take gold jewelry. Not only are the terms unfavorable, but they also offer a low price. They claim that you can redeem your possessions without interest, but in reality, gambling addicts have no way to make a profit back.

Collecting grain is a relatively new method, essentially violent debt collection. It involves various methods to push indebted individuals to their breaking point and then provide them with false information to help them take out small loans from multiple lending companies to repay their debts.

Fighting back against grain collection is even funnier, it's equivalent to getting paid to help indebted people "fight back against violent debt collection," but they are all the same people!

The final outcome was that once they fell into this trap, taking out high-interest loans, in order to repay the debt, they even pawned all the gold jewelry they had at home.

If you can afford it, it's not considered high-interest lending. Then, lenders engage in violent debt collection, fabricate various documents, and entice gamblers to borrow from online payday loan companies.

One loan shark, another loan shark, a gambler who falls into the trap can be tricked out of hundreds of thousands at least.

Use the money to pay off high-interest loans, and then fall into monthly online collection. At this time, the lenders will cite continuing borrowing.

Through normal means, these cyclical debts are impossible to repay. Gamblers can only hope for a windfall to make back their losses.

Gambling leads to theft, adultery leads to murder. Hard work is not enough to repay this terrible debt. Many families are ruined and dragged down by the gambler's addiction, often leaving a trail of suffering for their wives, children, and parents. Behind every gambling addict is a family in misery.

"Hey, if someone had a conscience, they wouldn't open a casino." Dabao smacked his lips and said, "Look at the people sitting in front of that small shop at the crossroads, they're all just waiting for the wind."

"How did you know" I asked angrily.

“I pretended to be a taxi driver. The gambling addict surnamed Yan got into my car. On the way, I chatted him up, gave him two packs of good cigarettes, and let him take me to get rich... He’s not a good guy, he wants me to be his cash cow! He took me to the casino, he’s a regular here.” Da Bao said.

Have you ever been to a casino

"Ah, I'm in! I lost all a few thousand from my card, otherwise how would they let me sit here smoking ... They treat me like a lamb to be slaughtered." Dabao laughed.

"Da Bao... you, you only have a few thousand on your card" I twitched the corner of my mouth.

A few thousand dollars That's not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Besides, Dabao and Lao Chen have been with my family for several years. My brother and I treat them as our own people. We've never left them out when there were benefits to be had. How could they only have this little money

"Heh heh," Dabao said with a chuckle, "Well... the money is all with my wife... heh heh..."

"Besides, I just said I had no money and asked my landlord to help me make a profit! They're only letting me wait here because of that, otherwise they would have kicked me out ages ago."

Dabao is also a talented individual, able to act as a living person's understudy. His eloquence and acting skills are definitely top-notch, capable of deceiving both people and ghosts.

"Little Empress, Emperor Lord, shall we first humbly enter and take a look" Dabao asked.

I glanced at Jiang Qiyun, he nodded slightly and said: “There are too many gamblers and desperados with too much aggression. Staying here will do you no good, go make arrangements quickly.”

Da Bao nodded eagerly, walked to the entrance of the kiosk and whispered a few words to the men, pointing at me.

Those few men's eyes lit up when they saw me—a fat sheep had come to their door.

“At a glance, this is the son of a rich family, living a life untouched by hardship,” a man muttered in a low voice.

Nonsense, I always cook when we're at home.

I muttered to myself inwardly, but still held my head high and tried to appear haughty and innocent.

Two men led us into an alleyway. It was the kind of place that harbored filth—not because I have any prejudice against poor people, but the atmosphere itself just wasn't conducive to living.

The environment has a huge impact on a person. At the very least, it affects their health, and at worst, it can affect their mental and psychological well-being.

I frowned upon this place, and Jiang Qiyun disliked it even more. However, as a celestial being of the Divine Realm, he was above worldly affairs and viewed external matters with indifference. He merely reminded me to leave as soon as possible.

"I also want to leave, but how can I find the one surnamed Yan" I whispered.

Da Bao's lips didn't move, he mumbled softly, "… If you're willing to lose, just hurry up and pay. They think you're a fat sheep, they'll take you to a VIP area…"

Losing money

That's not difficult at all!

I have no idea about any card tricks. I probably wouldn't even be able to win money, let alone make a profit! Losing is easy though, just guess randomly!

The more addictive a gamble, the simpler it is. I was taken to a basement, an environment better than above ground because it wasn't well-ventilated and smoking was forbidden.

"...I'm afraid he accidentally got caught in the water and caused a major disaster." Jiang Qiyun gave this place a contemptuous glance: "I didn't expect that even today, there are more gamblers than ever before."

Of course, with a better life and more developed information, there are more people who want to get rich quick.

The two men leading us turned their heads and sneered at me, "Get rich overnight and you'll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Just lie down and live comfortably. What's not good about that Little girl, we operate legally here with excellent service. We don't ask your name or background, just relax and play."

"Go to your regular business... I rolled my eyes and was led into a small, cramped room. "

In a small room, a long table with seven or eight men gathered around rolling dice.

"Little girl, this is the simplest! Bet big or small, if you win and get a straight flush, you double your winnings, and if you get three of a kind, you triple your winnings! Simple and clear, warm up!"

These two guys are exchanging sly glances, they don't seem like good people at all.

"What is a straight flush" I asked seriously.

Everyone in the room turned to look at me, their eyes holding a "smile".

Wow, they seem really happy about my arrival

"Sis, consecutive numbers are called a straight, and the same number is called a three of a kind." A gambler reached out to pat my shoulder.

I jumped in fright, don't touch me, I'm afraid Jiang Qiyun will throw him out!

Dabo quickly raised his hand to shield me, standing in front of me. "Just speak, don't frighten my young mistress! Our mistress rarely gets the chance to play, you ruffians, go somewhere else."

The gamblers' smiles grew brighter.

The man rolling the dice smiled at me and said, "Don't be afraid on your first time, we definitely won't cheat you here, go ahead and place a bet, have a warm-up round."

“I...didn't bring much cash.” I looked at the bills on the table, hundreds and thousands of them piled into two heaps.

"No worries! We have a QR code here, Alipay works too!" The guy pointed at the note stuck on the table.

Words fail me… But to make them think I'm an easy target, I took out my phone from my pocket and pretended to scan it, then asked, “How much for the lot Ten thousand okay”

Everyone in the room was startled. Zhuang's smile was very ambiguous: "How much freedom, everyone just plays around! Come on..."

I paid ten thousand, the dealer's eyelid twitched, I didn't miss it.

"Little bar," I feigned hesitation.

The croupier shook the dice like a shaman, dancing and making gestures for ages, shouting all the while to bet more, you'll win big!

With a thud, he slammed the cup down on the table.

I didn't intend to win money in the first place, who knew that as soon as I opened it, there were three ones, a small one and a tiger

Jiang Qiyun saw my stunned expression and chuckled softly — before collapsing onto the ground.And then Jiang Qiyun arrived.I didn't have time to ask him how he got here. I was too busy looking down at my brother's hand.Thankfully, thankfully, he was wearing p...
