"The state has expressly forbidden the establishment of casinos, yet you've opened one here of such scale. Gambling is one thing, but to cheat at gambling and deny it when caught? I think it's time to call the police."

Ling Zhenfei looked around and then said loudly. He was doing this to lure out the real person in charge of the casino, knowing well that Zheng Tu was not the boss of this establishment.

The person who could open Jiagong Mansion and such a large casino was no ordinary individual, and Ling Zhenfei's ultimate goal was to draw out Tang Sen. Capturing Tang Sen would resolve all matters at hand.

Ling Zhenfei pretended to call the police on his phone when suddenly a voice came from behind him, "Causing trouble at our Jiagong Mansion, you must be tired of living."

Ling Zhenfei turned to look behind and saw three men emerging from a room.

Upon seeing the three men, a shock went through Ling Zhenfei. The first man was a middle-aged man in his forties, his face showing a mature and cunning appearance.

The second man was a man in his fifties, small and old, walking with his hands behind his back and bending slightly, his mouth adorned with a goatee, lean and efficient, and Ling Zhenfei could distinctly feel a hint of Northern Spiritual Energy emanating from him.

Clearly, this old man was a cultivator, and the fact that his Northern Spiritual Energy was so faint suggested he was concealing it, indicating that his actual strength was not low.

This old man was likely the real protector of the casino. Seeing him, Ling Zhenfei became extra cautious, reminding himself to not lose his guard and end up at a disadvantage.

The third person kept walking behind the other two, his expression evasive, but Ling Zhenfei recognized him immediately; it was Tang Sen.

Ling Zhenfei sneered internally. The fact that Tang Sen had appeared meant that his efforts that night had been worthwhile. The purpose of his visit was to capture Tang Sen and bring him back.

At that moment, the three men slowly approached and stopped a few meters away from Ling Zhenfei.

"The people who should have appeared have finally shown up. It would have been better if you had come out earlier, to avoid injuries," Ling Zhenfei said coldly to the three men.

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Collecting my money every month, you should just do what you're supposed to and not worry about us. On the other hand, you should worry about the consequences of causing trouble in my casino."

Ling Zhenfei replied with a smile, "I don't need you to worry about my consequences; I can handle whatever consequences there are. I just wonder if you have the ability to impose any."

"Kid, your presence won't be that simple. Speak up, what really is your purpose here?" The middle-aged man looked Ling Zhenfei up and down, finding it hard to believe his background.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "I really don't have any special purpose, just here to do something I need to do."

"Could you be a police officer?"

"Do I look like a police officer to you?" Ling Zhenfei pointed at himself.

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Not like a police officer, but your purpose definitely isn't that simple."

"What makes you so sure?" Ling Zhenfei was very curious about this middle-aged man, who, from the beginning, had presumed Ling Zhenfei had other motives.

The man said, "Someone of your abilities would be treated well anywhere else; why bother coming here to gamble in a casino?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "What you say does make some sense."

The middle-aged man laughed, confirming Ling Zhenfei's suspicion that he was correct, "Since we've come to this point, why don't you just say what you came here for?"

"What's your last name, sir?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

"It's unnecessary. My surname is You, You Feng."

"Oh, Boss You, let me put it this way. I think there's something shady about the way you do business."

You Feng's expression changed, "How is it shady?"

"I've discovered that you dare to get involved in all kinds of illegal activities. Do you have a death wish or something?"

You Feng was stunned, "I just opened a gambling house for some fun. What do you mean? Just say it straight."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "True, on the surface, it looks just like a gambling house, and that's fine. But I've found out that Boss You is also harboring a wanted criminal, and it can't be just for fun."

The moment Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, both You Feng and the Tang Sen behind him were shocked, guessing that only the two of them knew what Ling Zhenfei's words meant.

There is no doubt that Tang Sen is a wanted criminal, even Binyang Public Security came directly to arrest him. He's a nationally wanted drug lord who is now hiding in Jiagong Mansion, a grave crime indeed.

"What exactly are you?" By now, You Feng was even more certain of Ling Zhenfei's intentions.

Ling Zhenfei pointed at Tang Sen, "Boss You, the man behind you, his identity, I believe, needs no further explanation from me—he's a wanted criminal. You should know what the crime of harboring a wanted criminal entails."

You Feng's face turned grave, "It seems you really did come here with ulterior motives. Since that's the case, you might as well stay."

"You think you can make me stay? Can you manage that? If you hand over Tang Sen to me now, you could save your Jiagong Mansion and gambling house. If you resort to violence, then the Jiagong Mansion will suffer, too. This place holds a special place in my heart."

You Feng's expression obviously hesitated. Protecting Tang Sen was never his idea, it was just a favor for Wu Yingxiong.

"Kid, if I can run a gambling house like this, then surely I have the power. This man beside me is called Yang Ao, a strong cultivator. You might not be his match."

"Besides, look at all the people we have around us. You are the one who should be worried." It turned out that the person Ling Zhenfei had hit before had already stood up along with several others, watching from aside.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Boss You, if you think you really have the strength to fight me, then go ahead. But you might also want to consider that if I've come here, would I really come alone?"

At Ling Zhenfei's words, You Feng was instantly taken aback. Ling Zhenfei's point was valid. If Ling Zhenfei had companions, where were they now?

Seeing You Feng's hesitation, Ling Zhenfei continued, "Boss You, if you hand over Tang Sen to me now, I guarantee your Jiagong Mansion and gambling house will be safe. No one will know where I took Tang Sen from."

"Jiagong Mansion's four courtyards, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, should be the lifelong efforts of Boss You. Why ruin it all for a fugitive? You agree, right, Boss You?"

You Feng hesitated and didn't speak, but Tang Sen behind him did.

"That is sheer arrogance. You talk as if you really hold some sway over Jiagong Mansion. Do you know who my godfather is? My godfather is Wu Yingxiong. Ask around in the Northeastern Three Provinces; my godfather is the underworld emperor here."
