Shen Liang briefly described the situation he had learned about. Overall, the conditions at the underground casino weren't particularly outstanding, but it shouldn't be a big problem for Qin Fang to infiltrate it.

As for the inside of the casino, Shen Liang and his men hadn't been able to get in, so the specifics were still unclear.

Qin Fang estimated that it shouldn't be too difficult; this underground casino mainly attracted gamblers from the surrounding county towns. The sums involved might be significant, but compared to the lavish betting at Elite Salon and Bihai Pavilion, it clearly fell short by a lot.

Otherwise, someone like Tao Yihai, who only owed one or two hundred thousand, wouldn't have made such a fuss about having to move belongings or sell his daughter. This kind of stupid thing, in Ninghai City District, could only happen in those small gambling joints and mahjong parlors.

"Okay, later you lead the team to keep watch from a distance. If needed, I will send a message to notify you..."

Qin Fang nodded his head, with this information he felt more prepared.

"Young Master Qin, I should go in with you, it's better to have an extra person to look out for you..."

Shen Liang still seemed a bit worried as he suggested. Those places were complicated and chaotic, anything could happen, and having him by Qin Fang's side might provide some assistance, even though he knew Qin Fang was tougher than him.

"No need, I have my own methods! Don't forget, even Song Gang died at my hands, what's a small underground casino to me..."

Qin Fang smiled and refused Shen Liang's kind offer; he already had his plans, and some secrets weren't meant to be shared with his subordinates.

Shen Liang and the others naturally knew about Song Gang and Cao Chun. In order to deal with these two, they had brainstormed multiple strategies together with Chen Da. However, before they could implement any, Qin Fang had already taken down Sharpshooter Song Gang first.

They hadn't encountered Song Gang, but understanding the lengths Chen Da was willing to go to—almost hoping for mutual destruction just to take one down—they could imagine how tough Song Gang had been.

And such a formidable figure had been taken down by Qin Fang. They couldn't help but conceive how powerful Qin Fang himself must be.

"Young Master Qin, be careful..."

In the end, there wasn't much else to say, and they all seriously reminded him to take care.

With his subordinates' well-wishes, Qin Fang immediately drove off with five hundred thousand in cash to the underground casino. Since he planned to stir trouble, it wouldn't do to not bring enough money, or the casino might not be inclined to indulge him earnestly.

He drove a car brought in from another part of Ninghai, with its license plate temporarily swapped, and guess whose car it was impersonating? Eighth Elder's—the same Eighth Elder who was formerly one of Li Rui's top henchmen, before Chen Da and his group crippled him by severing his limbs' tendons, turning him into a disabled person!

Not only was the license plate once used by Eighth Elder, but the car model was the same as well. And when Qin Fang got out of the car at the entrance of the underground casino, his features had also transformed into Eighth Elder's.

Originally, Qin Fang had intended to disguise himself as Li Rui to let the boss of Ninghai Underground take the fall for him, but then he thought better of it. Although Li Rui owned numerous enterprises, including several casinos, it was well-known that Li Rui wasn't fond of gambling, and hardly anyone had seen him gambling...

But Eighth Elder, the top enforcer, was a true gambling addict. Even the venues he managed had a dedicated casino, and he had organized several large-scale gambling events, raking in a good amount of money for Li Rui.

The crippling of Eighth Elder was actually known by very few people, Qin Fang had already made proper arrangements. One of the advisers, who was in the know, had already committed suicide after misspeaking, and none of the remaining lackeys dared to talk, so blaming Qin Fang for being the scapegoat was the most fitting choice.

Of course, if Qin Fang managed to take down the underground gambling den today, and those people went to settle accounts with Eighth Elder afterward, that was no longer Qin Fang's concern. Given that Eighth Elder had harmed countless people, even if he were hacked to death, Qin Fang would only have a round of applause for them.

The location of the underground gambling den was in an abandoned factory building, surrounded by quite a few passages, and with its internally complex terrain, even if the police came to crack down on the gambling, they would have enough time to disperse and escape.

But it was clear those police had already been bought off by them, and under normal circumstances they would be unlikely to come over, even now during a crackdown period.

As abnormal as this phenomenon was, Qin Fang felt powerless over it, his current abilities significant though far from omnipotent.

Just as Shen Liang and others had found, the security measures here were relatively strict. When Qin Fang entered, the thugs at the door would carefully check to make sure he wasn't carrying any dangerous weapons, such as knives or guns, and even mobile phones were immediately turned off.

Actually, whether the phone was turned on or off made no difference, Qin Fang noticed that the place was actually equipped with a jamming device, and mobile signals here were severely disrupted, making it absolutely impossible to make a call...

Of course, this had nothing to do with Qin Fang, he carried two mobile phones, one in hand and the other in the Props Box. He even placed the gun and bullets inside the Props Box, and no matter how they were checked, even if it was with the strictest security equipment in the world, no abnormalities would ever be found.

Just like that, Qin Fang, mistaken for the unlucky Eighth Elder, effortlessly blended into the underground gambling den. At the same time, the news that he was carrying half a million in cash was also spread to the den at the first opportunity.

For such a "Fat Sheep," the den would definitely give a "focused" reception...

As Qin Fang stepped into the gambling den, even before walking in, he could hear the shouting inside. Some were excitedly yelling after winning, while others, having lost, appeared extremely dejected, or even started to roar in agitation...

Qin Fang had seen many of life's gamblers in his time, so he wasn't too terribly affected by it all.

Entering, he was immediately hit by a scorching heat, mixed with the smells of smoke, alcohol, sweat, and more, and in this large room, roughly the size of over a hundred flats, there were more than a dozen gaming tables, surrounded by hundreds of people. It seemed that this crowd really brought life and color to the den.

Compared to large casinos like Elite Salon and Bihai Pavilion, there were no scantily clad, sexy women accompanying the players here. Instead, burly, muscular men with flushed faces patrolled around, and in some corners of the casino surveillance cameras were installed. The number of cameras wasn't high, but it was clear that these people were still very cautious.

Most of the gamblers were locals, some dressed very upscale, evidently wealthy, while others appeared a bit shabbier, but without exception, they were all keenly gambling, red-faced and necks bulging.

This was an underground casino, and there was nothing formal about it. It was cash against cash, the red banknotes stacked in piles on the gaming tables.

Nearer to the inside, there was a separate booth where Qin Fang noticed a table surrounded by several people with a long line of banknotes on it, amounting to perhaps more than a million. And when some gamblers lost all their money, they were led over there, signed IOUs, and took out high-interest loans.

Although these people knew full well they were borrowing at extortionate interest rates, blinded by the gambling frenzy, they didn't care at all, seeming extremely excited, as if with this money they would immediately recover their lost funds, pay off the high interest, and even win a big sum...

Qin Fang knew all too well that those who borrowed high-interest loans were least likely to win, they would only lose more and more... just like what happened to Tao Yihai. (To be continued.
