Ten minutes later, Tan Xiu's figure appeared in front of the Long's Dining Hall's entrance. Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin were already waiting for Tan Xiu at the entrance.
After seeing Tan Xiu, Long Zhenglin took a few steps forward and tightly grasped Tan Xiu's hands as he said with an excited expression, "Eldest Brother, whether we can take down Walled Hill Village today or not, it's all up to you."
Tan Xiu smiled but didn't speak. Instead, he looked at Long Zhengyu.
Long Zhengyu was also quietly sizing up Tan Xiu as their gazes collided in mid-air.
"My name is Long Zhengyu, Zhenglin's elder brother. Thank you for taking care of Zhenglin. Also, I'll leave everything to Mr. Tang today." Seeing that Tan Xiu wasn't anxious to exchange greetings with his younger brother, but rather noticed his presence first, Long Zhengyu secretly nodded in his heart. It could be considered as his initial recognition of Tan Xiu as he stretched out his right hand towards Tan Xiu.
Hearing Long Zhengyu address him as Mr., a strange feeling welled up inside Tan Xiu's heart, but he still stretched out his hand and shook hands with Long Zhengyu.
"Mr. Long, to tell you the truth, my observation and calculation ability are stronger than ordinary people, but I don't understand gambling techniques. I don't even understand a lot of the gambling rules. Therefore, I can only try my best today. I don't dare to guarantee that I can win, so I hope you can understand." Tan Xiu stared at Long Zhengyu for a moment before he said with a smile.
When he said those words, Tan Xiu was a bit guilty and even worried that Long Zhengyu would directly kick him out.
Because Long Zhenglin had clearly stated on the phone that Walled Hill Village was very important to the Long Family. The Long Family must take down Walled Hill Village, but he couldn't give any guarantee to the other party.
The reason why Tan Xiu agreed to help was admittedly because of the generous reward factor. But what really tempted him was the development rights of Walled Hill Village.
Ever since he had discovered the Spiritual Vein in Walled Hill Village, Tan Xiu had been worrying about how he could justifiably take the Spiritual Vein as his own. But he never thought that Long Zhenglin would take the initiative to look for him. This was simply like someone delivering a pillow while he was dozing off. Tan Xiu naturally couldn't refuse.
However, be it in his past life or this life, Tang Xiu had never relied on gambling to earn money, so he didn't have any confidence in his gambling skills. This made him confess to Zhengyu Long, lest he would be blamed by Zhengyu Long and Zhengyu Brothers if he were to fail miserably and lose gambling.
What Tan Xiu didn't know was that his frankness had greatly improved Long Zhengyu's impression of him. Long Zhengyu's confidence, which had fallen into the abyss, seemed to have recovered.
"You're too modest, Mr. Tang. The casino is full of turbulence and unpredictable changes. No one dares to pat their chest and guarantee that they'll definitely win." Long Zhengyu smiled as he looked at Tang Xiu with eyes full of appreciation.
Several people were chatting at the entrance when they suddenly heard the ear-piercing sound of a car braking. Then, several figures hurriedly got off the car and walked straight towards the entrance.
After seeing these figures clearly, Tan Xiu's face was filled with astonishment.
Because these people were impressively Zhang Yongjin, Hu Wanjun, and Xue Renfei, who had just had a conflict with him.
Almost at the same time when Tan Xiu saw the figures of Zhang Yongjin's trio, Zhang Yongjin, who was walking in the front, also saw Tan Xiu.
The moment he saw Tan Xiu, Zhang Yongjin suddenly stopped his footsteps, and his body uncontrollably retreated backward.
The pitiful Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun were following behind Zhang Yongjin. Their line of sight was blocked by Zhang Yongjin and they couldn't see Tang Xiu's figure at all. When Zhang Yongjin suddenly stopped and retreated, they simply couldn't stop their bodies.
Only two muffled sounds were heard, and Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun bumped into Zhang Yongjin's body.
Zhang Yongjin's body, which was like an iron tower, did not shake at all, but Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun were knocked to the ground, and they cried out in pain.
"You … Why are you here … Don't mess around …" Zhang Yongjin ignored the embarrassment of his two partners, but looked at Tan Xiu with a panicked face, and stuttered.
The psychological shadow that Tan Xiu left on Zhang Yongjin was too big. In his life, no one had ever made him kneel. Tan Xiu made him kneel. In this life, no one had ever made him kowtow, but Tan Xiu made him kowtow.
What made Zhang Yongjin feel wronged and helpless was that after being beaten up so badly by Tan Xiu, he didn't even know Tan Xiu's name, let alone Tan Xiu's life experience.
Originally, Zhang Yongjin wanted to slowly inquire about Tan Xiu's identity, and then slowly retaliate against Tan Xiu.
It was just that Zhang Yongjin never dreamed that Tan Xiu would appear in front of him so quickly. Zhang Yongjin, who was completely unprepared, naturally panicked.
"Brother Tang, what's going on?" When Long Zhengyu saw Zhang Yongjin's trio coming, he originally wanted to hide to the side, but he was afraid that leaving Tan Xiu behind would not be good, so he had to bite the bullet and stand in place.
Long Zhengyu originally thought that after Zhang Yongjin's trio saw him, they would definitely mock and ridicule him, making him embarrassed. He didn't think that Zhang Yongjin's attention would be directly attracted by Tan Xiu, and he also behaved in such a manner that Long Zhengyu was naturally surprised.
Regarding Zhang Yongjin's identity, Long Zhengyu was very clear. Everyone in the circle knew that Zhang Yongjin was a famous devil incarnate. Such a person, even if he was unreasonable, he would still be stubborn, and if he was in the right, he would be even more unforgiving.
Such a person was actually afraid of Tan Xiu, which made Long Zhengyu curious about Tan Xiu's identity, and at the same time, his confidence in Tan Xiu doubled, and his way of addressing Tan Xiu also unconsciously changed.
"It's nothing, maybe he recognized the wrong person." Tan Xiu gently swept a glance at Zhang Yongjin, and just when Zhang Yongjin thought that Tan Xiu would speak about his embarrassing matter, Tan Xiu shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun also saw Tan Xiu, and at the same time, they also saw the Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin brothers.
Seeing Tan Xiu standing together with the Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin brothers, their faces couldn't help but flash a look of surprise, and then their hearts tightened.
After all, they had confronted Tan Xiu twice, and both confrontations ended in their defeat. This was not something to be proud of, and they were afraid that Tang Xiu would speak about their embarrassing matter, which would make them a joke in the circle.
What made the three people relieved at the same time was that Tan Xiu didn't speak about their embarrassing matter, and even pretended not to know them, which made them secretly rejoice, but at the same time, they were a little angry at Tan Xiu for looking down on them.
They looked at Tan Xiu with a complicated expression, and then the three people hurriedly stepped into the hall and disappeared around the corner.
"Recognized the wrong person?" Hearing Tan Xiu's answer, Long Zhengyu's face was full of astonishment. He wanted to question him, but the words that were at the tip of his mouth were swallowed back.
"Big Brother, the gambling will start soon, let's go upstairs." Long Zhenglin looked at the wall clock in the hall and urged with an anxious expression.
The Long's Dining Hall was located in the most prosperous commercial street in Star City. It had a height of 49 floors, and its shape resembled two golden dragons. In the middle, there was a spherical presidential suite, implying two dragons playing with a pearl.
The Long's Dining Hall had become a landmark in the center of Star City due to its magnificent appearance, and at the same time, it had also cast its commercial legend.
The Shuangqing Province's businessmen and celebrities were proud to be able to stay in the presidential suite. Over time, the presidential suite of the Long's Dining Hall had been hyped to a sky-high price.
At this time, two people were sitting in the presidential suite of the Long's Dining Hall.
One of them was a young woman in her thirties. She was wearing a cheongsam that revealed her graceful figure, but the sunglasses on her fair and delicate face made her look a bit cold and mysterious.
The other one was an old man in his sixties. The old man was wearing a white Chinese tunic suit. He had a serious square face, and his eyes were deep. He was not angry, but he was playing with two walnuts.
"Grandmaster Jia, we'll have to trouble you today. As long as you can help us take down Walled Hill Village, you will be the biggest shareholder of Prosperous Never Night City." The young woman lit up a cigarette and spoke in an indifferent tone.
"Miss Zhang, rest assured. With this old man taking action, there is no longer any suspense in this gambling house. In the Shuangqing Province, no one would dare to clamor with this old man in the casino. "The middle-aged man nodded as an extremely conceited smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Deqin slightly frowned upon hearing his words, but she quickly stretched it out.
Zhang Deqin didn't like that kind of boastful person. But thinking about Jia Ruidao's gambling skills, as well as his prestige in the Shuangqing Province, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Ever since Zhang Deqin released the news that Jia Ruidao would help her compete with the Long's Dining Hall in the casino, almost no gamblers dared to go to the Long Family to apply for a job. This already proved how high Jia Ruidao's prestige in the circle was.
"I naturally admire Grandmaster Jia's gambling skills, otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Grandmaster Jia to help me. But it's better to be safe than sorry. It's better to be safe than sorry. We should always be vigilant. "After being silent for a moment, Zhang Deqin said faintly.
Hearing Zhang Deqin's determination to win Walled Hill Village, the expression on Jia Ruidao's face finally turned a lot more solemn.
Just when Jia Ruidao adjusted his expression and wanted to say a few words of assurance to Zhang Deqin, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open as Zhang Yongjin, Hu Wanjun, and Xue Renfei, three people, came in one after another.
"The few of you are too troublesome. Usually, you're late, but today, you're late. Do you think that I can rest assured in handing over Walled Hill Village to you?" The moment she saw Zhang Yongjin's group of three, the previously calm and composed Zhang Deqin instantly turned into a tigress as she fiercely roared at them.
"Big Sis … we … we were in a hurry and almost got into a car accident, so we were delayed for a bit." Under Zhang Deqin's sharp gaze, Zhang Yongjin was like a primary school student who had made a mistake as he bowed his head and apologized.
Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun, who were standing behind Zhang Yongjin, didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Hearing that Zhang Yongjin almost got into a car accident, Zhang Deqin stood up from her chair and strode towards Zhang Yongjin. After circling around him twice, she asked with a nervous expression, "Yongjin, tell Big Sis what happened. Is your body alright?"
At this time, Zhang Deqin didn't have the imposing manner of a strong woman from a moment ago. She had transformed into an ordinary woman full of motherly love.
