Chapter 216: Inverted Heavenly Gang
Daao City.
A city where gambling is legal.
A place with extremely top-tier and luxurious nightlife.
There is extremely high capital flow here.
The money flowing in and out here every day is measured in billions.
But for most ordinary people here, nightlife has never belonged to them.
That world of dazzling lights and red wine in the casino is not something they can easily get involved in.
Separated by just one bridge, it separates luxury and life.
Everyone likes money not because they like wealth deep down.
But because wealth can make one’s life very good.
What they want is not money, but the things that money can exchange for.
Money is just currency.
But this currency makes people strive for it their whole lives.
Daao City, with its dazzling lights and red wine, even the fireworks carry a luxurious flavor.
“Ye Zhen, your look is quite unique.”
On a cruise ship that was sailing.
Looking at Ye Zhen who was wrapped all over in bandages, Lin Qian couldn’t help but chuckle.
Ye Zhen, with only one eye exposed, seemed to be in a bad mood, his eyes downcast, ignoring Lin Qian’s teasing.
Fang Shiming looked at Ye Zhen, how come he felt that Ye Zhen seemed a bit sad?
His gaze turned to A Wu.
A Wu shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
The sea at night is undoubtedly the most frightening.
But this cruise ship was full of singing and dancing, extremely lively.
“President, my hands are itching, can I go gamble a couple rounds?”
Zhao Bai stood on the deck, licked his lips, rubbed his hands, and looked at Lin Qian somewhat pleadingly.
“Go easy on yourself, don’t lose everything.”
Lin Qian didn’t refuse; the essence of gambling is the pleasure from experiencing that unknown result.
That pleasure of being the only one winning while others lose is irreplaceable by anything else.
Gambling is easy to get addicted to, not just because of losing too much, but more because of the emotional arousal.
Fang Shiming looked at Jiang Shangbai.
At this moment, Jiang Shangbai had brought some barbecue skewers.
“You go play too?”
Hearing this, Jiang Shangbai nodded, “It’s been a long time since I played.”
Gambling is not a strange thing for them.
Jiang Shangbai and Zhao Bai went to play together.
A Wu didn’t have this idea.
“Lin Qian, how much longer until you recover?”
Ye Zhen suddenly asked.
“Two days, what about you?”
After estimating his own recovery progress, Lin Qian gave the answer.
“Same.”
Two days is not short, but not too long either.
“Lin Qian, you chose the location in Daao City, it seems not just because of that lame reason.”
Fang Shiming looked around; there were a few gazes secretly looking this way from among the crowd.
A Wu had already warned them that there were a few ghost controllers on the ship.
Among them, two had foreign faces.
“Not entirely, this city feels a bit disconnected from domestic.”
“Professor Wang mentioned it to me when I was heading to Dachuan City.”
Lin Qian rubbed his face, “This time can also be considered an opportunity.”
“The situation abroad is very complicated; Professor Wang has a dark line there, and things there seem off.”
“We should pull out the nail here first; it’s much better than having it stab our hearts later.”
With domestic headquarters fallen, many ghost controllers who rose in cities continued as headquarters persons in charge.
But headquarters had fallen after all, lacking a lot of binding force.
Now, various cities are basically the strong on top and the weak below.
As long as innocent civilians are not harmed, no one cares.
Of course, even if they are harmed, no one would care.
No one manages it, unless Wang Xiao Ming makes a big deal out of it.
The reason cities are currently very stable might also be because they fear Wang Xiao Ming making a big deal out of it.
After all, Wang Xiao Ming is still alive and could rebuild headquarters at any time.
Plus, his club, Fang Shiming’s circle of friends, Ye Zhen’s supernatural forum—their three parties seem to have good relations, if rebuilding.
Headquarters could be rebuilt at any time, and possibly even larger than before.
They now fully qualify to rebuild headquarters.
But many people don’t understand why Wang Xiao Ming hasn’t done so.
After all, as long as Wang Xiao Ming calls, quite a few people would still be willing to follow.
“Is that really the case?”
Fang Shiming looked at Lin Qian suspiciously.
He didn’t think Lin Qian was someone who cared about the country and its people.
Among their three, except Ye Zhen, the other two were self-interested.
Lin Qian smiled and said nothing.
Here to pull out the nail?
Of course not.
He was here to find an opportunity to put a leash on He Yuetian.
Old Master Zhang said that Ghost Bride and Ghost Play complement each other.
And Ghost Bride is the main one.
If he didn’t want his whole body’s strength to become a wedding dress, it was best to plan ahead.
Pulling out the nail and dealing with that fierce ghost eyeing them was secondary.
“Just think of it that way.” Lin Qian knew Fang Shiming was suspicious but didn’t spell it out.
Fang Shiming wasn’t stupid; coastal cities weren’t just Daao City.
The one closest to abroad wasn’t Daao City either; on the contrary, it was a city with more land.
Fang Shiming understood; Lin Qian must have other purposes.
“What are you two muttering about?”
Ye Zhen stared at the two, his exposed eye turning.
Lin Qian and Fang Shiming exchanged a glance, said nothing, picked up the barbecue, and started eating.
Eating barbecue in this environment was somewhat eye-catching.
Of course, the most eye-catching was the barbecue stall that Ye Zhen had insisted on bringing up.
At this moment, that boss was breaking out in cold sweat, swallowing saliva from time to time.
The attendant nearby patiently reminded him not to be nervous, no one would trouble him.
This attendant didn’t look down on him; on the contrary, he was a bit envious.
Because he was brought up at the guest’s request.
Unlike them.
“I hate it when you guys do this, especially Little Fang, sometimes you really deserve a beating.”
Ye Zhen picked up a skewer of chicken wings.
Seeing this, A Wu reached out to unwrap the bandages for Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment and didn’t rush to eat.
Soon the bandages were unwrapped.
A Wu took out a piece of clothing and gave it to Ye Zhen.
“Tsk tsk… nice figure, those women are drooling.”
Ye Zhen’s face flushed slightly; he looked around and sure enough, many beautifully dressed women were looking over.
The flirtatious glances were probably describing such a scene.
Seeing this, Ye Zhen felt quite proud inside, though a bit unaccustomed.
But when he saw an aunt in her forties or fifties winking at him, he shivered and quickly looked away.
“Boss, your charm is still pretty strong.” A Wu teased.
“Get lost.”
Ye Zhen said grumpily, biting into the chicken wings.
A Wu smiled, then his expression turned serious.
“Boss, President Lin, Director Fang, be careful, those ghost controllers are coming over.”
Lin Qian raised an eyebrow.
Fang Shiming chuckled, his eyes gloomy, “We don’t go looking for trouble with them, and they come looking for trouble with us?”
Fang Shiming wanted to say, this was truly upside down.
