Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 970 This Path Won't Work

    

lowed with a sickly green light from where its eyes should be, instantly fixated on Ripple, who stood unarmed.He brandished his sword and swung it towards Ripples. Ripples stood there without flinchin...Four, five, six o'clock, big!

As people around saw the numbers on the dice, some were happy and some were disappointed. Li Gang was among those who won money; his fifty quickly turned into five hundred.

Li Gang also feigned a look of delight as he snatched the money into his hand and leaned forward.

"Good job, little brother!"

A thin man with a bony face smiled and said, “Let’s roll the dice.”

"This is my first time playing, it must be luck!"

Li Gang knew what to say, and his words wouldn't offend others.

Then you'll definitely be able to win money all night, why not play a few more rounds.

"Really"

Li Gang pretended to ask uncertainly.

"Listen to brother, he's always right."

The thin man immediately said.

As expected, from then on, even without using any mind-reading abilities, Li Gang would definitely win if he bet big, and the dice roll would always be high. If he bet small, the dice roll would always be low. By two in the morning, he had already won over ten thousand yuan.

At this moment, Li Gang was absolutely certain that this gambling game was rigged. He, a complete stranger, was merely a pawn set up by the house to lure in unsuspecting victims. Don't be fooled by the ten thousand yuan he currently held; when they closed the net, this money would undoubtedly be returned as is.

Because Li Gang had won money consecutively, the gamblers around him all thought his luck was good, so most of them started to bet on big and small with him. Only a few who didn't believe in luck bet against Li Gang.

"Sold as seen! Only two left, see how much you can get!"

The emaciated man immediately spoke.

Li Gang had already sensed the other party's intentions. He frowned, hesitated for a long time, and placed half a tael of silver on "small". Immediately, someone followed suit and chose to bet on "small" as well.

Five, five, six o'clock, go!

The thin man, after opening the dice cup, looked smug.

"Oh no! How did we lose!"

"My money!!!"

"I should have bet on his home team!!!"

Around them, complaints rose and fell as the winning party gleefully collected their winnings.

Li Gang also looked annoyed. He immediately, unwilling to believe it, roared:

"I'm still in! I'll definitely win it back this last round!"

Hehe! This fool! He really thought he had good luck with gambling! I can make you win money, and I can also make you lose money!

The gaunt man spoke, his face impassive.

"Young man, don't get carried away. I advise you to know when to stop and not end up losing everything you've won. Good luck is temporary, you're clearly out of it now. Why not come back tomorrow Save yourself some money!"

Li Gang was a little surprised that a man would say such a thing, so he looked at the other person.

He thought I was as stupid as him. Now that I'm playing the good guy, I'm going to reel him in with a long line. As long as he tastes the sweetness of winning, he'll keep coming back. In the end, the money he wins today will still be returned to us.

Li Gang immediately understood, this was a common trick used by those who set up gambling dens. However, he had his own ideas, so he feigned ignorance and asked:

"Big brother, is what you're saying true Did I use up all my gambling money tonight"

"Isn't that true You can try it out and see. I have nothing to gain by lying to you."

The gaunt man said indifferently.

"Okay, I'll listen to my big brother. This is my first time gambling, and I have no experience. I'll definitely listen to you."

Li Gang immediately climbed the pole, taking back all the money he had bet on Xiao Shang. Luckily, the other party didn't roll the dice, so he was able to get his money back.

The thin man raised an eyebrow and gave it one last shake. Sure enough, it was still open wide.

"Thank you, big brother. Fortunately, I listened to your advice, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep the remaining money."

Li Gang immediately gratefully said to the thin man.

"Alright, I'm closing up shop for the day. Come back tomorrow at the same time if you want to try your luck again."

The man pulled back the tool, then walked away with two assistants.

Li Gang then used the excuse of going to the restroom and left the guesthouse directly. He hailed a taxi and went to the city center, checking into a budget hotel.

Although the room costs over two hundred, it's clean, hygienic, and safe. As for his belongings left at the hostel, they were just a few pieces of clothing anyway. His valuables were all on him, and he seemed to have found a shortcut to getting rich.

Li Gang sat on the bed counting the money he had won this night, a total of six thousand eight hundred yuan. It was enough to cover his tuition and living expenses for a year. If he hadn't lost that last hand, he would have won over ten thousand yuan.

After a good night's sleep, Li Gang was no longer in a hurry to leave Linshi. He wanted to find a way to earn some more money before setting out on his adventures again. Money gave him confidence.

Li Gang's every move here, Lian Yi knows everything about it. She sighed helplessly:

"This person's downfall is so fast, does he think he can always win money by using his telepathy"

"I'm feeling really beaten down, so I'm trying to find some balance here! Should I call the police"

"As a good citizen, I would definitely report such illegal activities. However, before that, at those places where people set up gambling dens and have been exploited, you can look for the right time and subtly give them some money for next time."

Liàn Yī mǐ zhe yǎnjīng shuō dao.

"Well, you're right. What goes around comes around."

He believed it implicitly.

Over the next month, Lianyi went to school regularly and gradually integrated into her class. She was no longer alone, and when her roommates asked her to go shopping, she would also follow along and buy a piece of clothing or a box of skincare products.

While Li Gang frequented gambling dens in every corner of the city, there were times he won and times he lost. Overall, he tended to win more because he always knew how to control himself. As a result, he was doing well, with nearly 80,000 yuan in his possession now.

"Ripples, that Li Gang mixed into a mid-range gambling game tonight, should we make a move"

"If you're sure he took all his belongings, call the police. Then tip off the person who set up the gambling den and point the finger at Li Gang. Give it five minutes, don't let those people get away."

Understood!

The stone mill understood the ripples. It was nothing more than letting those who set up the gambling den know that the police were hired by Li Gang, making them suspect that Li Gang is an informant for the police.

Because the next day was a weekend, Ripples overslept. After breakfast, she took her book to attend self-study, and Shiju also brought her good news.

"Ripples, those people from yesterday were all taken out in one go."

"How long was Li Gang detained"

"She's likely to be sentenced this time. Those involved in the mid-range gambling ring all had connections, paid fines, returned their gambling money, and were released on bail. Only he was left with no one to help him. He'll probably get two or three years this time!"

The stone mill keeps a close eye on Li Gang's progress.

"That's great, at least by then I had already graduated successfully and had plenty of time to play with him."

The ripples are quite satisfied with this outcome.

"Alright, I'm watching him. See what other tricks he has up his sleeve."

Until the ripples graduated, Li Gang kept stepping on the sewing machine, paying the corresponding price for what he had done.

That day, when Lin was taking a graduation photo with her roommates, Shiju suddenly spoke up and reminded:

Ripples, Li Gang is out of prison.ool day in detail.Lian Ri took out ten thousand yuan in cash from his backpack and pushed it toward Lao Father and Mother Luo."Mom and Dad, this is what I earned. Please use it to pay back the debts y...
