"I indeed saw through your purpose long ago, you're not a good detective at all, the way you inquired about the pharmaceutical company and import-export channels was too obvious. However, I didn't pretend with you!"

He Zheng said to Lou Qiangqiang with utmost seriousness, "You are my brother, a brother for life. Only in front of you can I truly reveal my real self, be carefree without concealing, and truly not pretend to be a spoiled young master!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen and the others all furrowed their brows, looking at He Zheng in surprise. These words didn't seem like something that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old could say.

It seems that this one also has a story!

"Young master Qiang, the young master really wasn't fooling you. After receiving your call, the young master was so happy he couldn't sleep all night. He went to the airport early in the morning before dawn just to wait and pick you up."

At this moment, the driver, also slightly excited, spoke up: "You don't know, the young master has always been living so tiredly. Only when you come does he show a genuine smile. You're the only brother the young master truly acknowledges. You can't wrong him!"

"Brother Wu, just focus on driving."

He Zheng turned and called out, then turned back to look at Lou Qiangqiang with sincere eyes, silent, but his eyes portrayed such purity.

"Alright, I believe you!"

Lou Qiangqiang felt a surge of warmth inside and spoke softly, "However, I hope you can help big brother. The things big brother does are incredibly good deeds!"

He Zheng smiled slightly, proudly saying, "Qiangqiang, if it's your matter, I, He Zheng, would risk my life to help. He, he needs to prove his ability, I'm not someone who would help just anybody!"

"He Zheng..." Lou Qiangqiang continued to persuade.

"Qiangqiang, no need to say more!"

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and patted Lou Qiangqiang's shoulder: "Your brother is proud. If you keep persuading, he will help, but it will be somewhat reluctant. This will also create a certain rift in your friendship."

Turning his head to look at He Zheng, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "I accept your test, and I also want to see, what kinds of tricks the grandson of the Gambling King has!"

"Then just wait to face the challenge!" He Zheng smiled mysteriously.

Lou Qiangqiang looked at Jiang Chen and then at He Zheng, his expression shifted and he suddenly spoke, "Little Zheng, the tricks you set up better be clever. If big brother easily solves them, I will look down on you!"

He Zheng was slightly taken aback, then a joyful smile appeared on his face, nodding forcefully, "Little Qiang, you just watch. Don't come to me begging for mercy if big brother gets stumped!"

"Psh, with you? You might trouble me a bit, but to trouble big brother, you'd need to be reborn to stand a chance!" Lou Qiangqiang said with a look of disdain.

The two young men looked at each other and both burst into sincere smiles.

Jiang Chen and the others watched the banter between the two young men, smiling slightly.

They understood, this was an expression of the young men's friendship. The awkwardness from before, after this banter, had vanished into thin air!

...

In Haojiang, casinos are legal as long as they are registered, and can operate in the open.

Therefore, the majority of casinos in Haojiang are located in above-ground buildings, with underground buildings being mostly entertainment venues such as bars and discos!

Haojiang is the territory of the gambling king, the He Family, whose speaking rights in Haojiang are as powerful as Jiang Chen's in Yi Chen Group. Even the Flame Dragon Group has to consult with the He Family on certain matters!

The daily flow of customers in Haojiang's various casinos reaches a staggering number in the millions, and the daily liquidity could make those on the domestic wealth rankings sigh with envy!

Here is a real den of iniquity, where millionaires can go in and come out bankrupt within an hour. Yet, despite this, there are still many people dreaming of becoming instantly rich, who are desperately burrowing into this gold-digging cave!

Hesheng Fugui Building.

One of Haojiang's top casinos, 36 stories tall, housing dining, gambling, guest rooms, and baths all in one.

This is one of the He Family's enterprises, and it's also one of the most enchanting places in the gold-digging cave of Haojiang!

Woo woo... Squeak!

An extended Lincoln stopped in front of Hesheng Fugui Building, and Jiang Chen and his party got out of the car.

"Young master!"

The security guards at the entrance of Fugui Building rushed forward to greet He Zheng with a salute, one of the guards taking the Lincoln's keys from driver Brother Wu.

"Big brother, this is Little Zheng's territory, let's have good fun today and win over this Fugui Building, making him drool over us!" Lou Qiangqiang's eyes gleamed as he excitedly gazed at Fugui Building.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lou Qiangqiang, fiddled with his phone briefly, and mocked, "How's your play been these past few days in this Fugui Building? How much have you lost?"

"Super thrilling! I've lost several tens of millions. If it wasn't for Little Zheng footing the bill, I'd have to sell myself and it still wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt! But, I have never been here before, Little Zheng said this place is for big gamblers and didn't let me play here, fearing I'd get corrupted in a momentary lapse!" Lou Qiangqiang replied without hesitation.

He Zheng glanced at Jiang Chen upon hearing this, raised his hand to his forehead, and wore an expression as if in silent mourning.

Lou Qiangqiang, eyes not blinking, stared at Fugui Building. After a long wait, seeing no one move or speak, he turned his head in confusion to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at Lou Qiangqiang seriously, a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Lou Qiangqiang's complexion changed, and he suddenly realized, breaking out in a cold sweat, and hastily said, "Big brother, I was wrong! I really was wrong! I, I, I... I wouldn't gamble if Little Zheng hadn't said he'd cover for me! Big brother, I truly know my mistake, you, you can't tell Ling'er about this!"

"Ling'er always tells me how well-behaved you are at school, how hard-working, how you're studying even on weekends, how you study late into the night by lamplight to get good grades, but why do I feel like these are not things you could do?"

Jiang Chen gently furrowed his brows, slightly shaking his head: "No good. Ling'er, such a sweet and innocent girl, and she's learned to lie after being with you for so long! If she keeps company with you and your gambling habits, won't she end up selling out the family? No, when we go back, she definitely can't be allowed to be with you anymore!"

"Don't, big brother! I was wrong! I really was wrong!"

Lou Qiangqiang was startled, tears almost streaming out, as he grabbed Jiang Chen's arm, pleading with a sobbing tone: "Don't, big brother, I'm wrong! Ling'er didn't lie! Her studies are too good, I couldn't keep up otherwise! I only played when I got to Haojiang! I didn't play in Dingjing! I dare not anymore! Please don't tell Ling'er!"

Pfft!

"Haha!"

"Haha..."

Seeing Lou Qiangqiang's pitiful state, Yan Hu and the others laughed out loud.
