Chapter 265: The Favored Gambler


    ?Wu Xian was startled.


    He subconsciously felt that Tong Yuai was pretending.


    From this, I guessed that this woman might be a hidden player like Aunt He, and her words and deeds in the blessed land might also be fake, which is why she made King Luo so miserable.


    ?But when Wu Xian looked Tong Yu Ai up and down, he suddenly understood. His eyes showed pity at first, then relief, and finally felt a bit pity.


    Before leaving the blessed land.


    Tong Yuai’s cheeks were dirty, her body was covered with bandages in many places, her red dress was stained with blood, and large parts of her black stockings were torn apart.


    But now she is spotless, just like when she first entered the blessed land!


    Even if Tong Yuai hides again, she can''t just take a bath in the blessed land and change into the same clothes and come out, right?


    So she doesn’t know Wu Xian, there is only one possibility!


    That''s because she was mediocre and did not get the approval of the gods to become a favored person, so the trip to the blessed land was a one-time event, and her memory was erased after the blessed land ended.


    From Wu Xian''s point of view, this is undoubtedly a bad thing, so Wu Xian was compassionate at first.


    But he immediately realized that this ending was what ordinary people dreamed of. Compared to rotting and smelly in a blessed land with maggots crawling all over his body, life in the real world was better.


    It’s a pity.


    The trophies that Tong Yuai took away were wasted.


    ?These thoughts just passed through Wu Xian''s mind. At this time, Tong Yuai was still staring at Wu Xian, her eyes were red and swollen, and her mind was almost defeated.


    ??The "kindness" of the immortals and gods cannot solve her current predicament.


    ?Her child was still kidnapped by her husband. Although she stayed in the underground passage for the time as promised, whether the other party was willing to let her go is another matter.


    ??Ding-a-ling-ring, ding-a-ling-ring…


    ? Tong Yuai''s phone rang. She answered the phone and spoke quickly as if grasping a life-saving straw.


    "Zhou Xingsen, I have stayed in the underground passage for the time as you requested. Please return the little treasure to me quickly!"


    “Damn it!”


    ?There was a curse from the other side of the phone.


    “Let’s do this, you come to me within an hour and we have a bet. If you win, I will return Xiaobao to you and divorce you. If you lose...”


    After finishing speaking, the person on the other side hangs up the phone.


    ? Tong Yuai lost control of her emotions on the spot: "Zhou Xingsen, you bastard, you are going back on your word..."


    But the other party could no longer hear her words.


    ?Wu Xian touched his chin on the side.


    “Tsk, it’s troublesome…”


    He wanted to help, but the other party didn''t recognize him anymore. How could he help?


    Get her trust first?


    You can''t talk about things in the blessed land, and Zhou Xingsen''s time limit was only one hour, so Tong Yuai wouldn''t listen patiently to his stories.


    so…


    The underground passage at night has only dim lights.


    ?Wu Xian violently pushed Tong Yuai against the wall, his face looking hideous and terrifying.


    “I heard the phone call just now. Where is Zhou Xingsen? That **** ran away after he owed me a large sum of money. I have to kill him!”


    Tong Yuai looked desperate.


    ?No wonder this man greeted her warmly just now. It turned out that he was here to collect a debt!


    But she soon realized that in this situation, the debt collector who also had a grudge against Zhou Xingsen was the only helper she could find.


    ?So Tong Yuai grabbed Wu Xian''s sleeve: "I can take you to find him, but you have to help me rescue the child!"


    …


    ??The black Citroen was parked downstairs in an old residential area.


    Just got off the car.


    They saw a group of people surrounding them. A woman''s cry could be heard from the crowd, and there was a faint smell of blood.


    ?Wu Xian squeezed past. They saw a corpse lying on the ground, with blood stains radiating around it. The corpse''s head was turned over. Judging from the clothes and limbs, it should be a middle-aged manual worker. He jumped from the top of the building and landed head first.


    “Oh, how come a good person becomes addicted to gambling?”


    “I heard that he lost everything his family could lose and owed a large gambling debt. He was desperate and committed suicide by jumping off the building..."


    “Where did he lose?”


    "Where else could it be? The one that just moved to Building 4 a few days ago... I don''t know what''s going on. People go there to gamble every day. Some people often come down crying after losing all their money. The old man from Building 3 just now Chen is still up."


    “Oh, then I have to keep an eye on my old Zhao.”


    ?Wu Xian listened for a short while and then learned what happened from the mouths of the aunties who were watching.


    He asked Tong Yuai: "Is Zhou Xingsen in Building 4?"


    Tong Yuai nodded hesitantly: "Could this be him? But Zhou Xingsen always loses when gambling!"


    “Perhaps...it’s different now than before.”


    ?Wu Xian narrowed his eyes.


    He got a basic understanding of Zhou Xingsen from Tong Yuai’s words on the way.


    ?Zhou Xingsen has always liked to play cards, but it was always just for fun. Until more than a month ago, his temperament suddenly changed and he started playing "big" games with others, and soon squandered his originally well-off family fortune.


    But at this time, Zhou Xingsen was still a normal person.


    ?Until a few days ago, his temperament changed drastically. Not only did he move out of his home, but he also kidnapped his own child yesterday...


    ?Hence Wu Xian’s speculation.


    Zhou Xingsen should only have two blessed land experiences.


    ?The first time in the blessed land made him realize that he might not live long, so he began to indulge himself, ignoring his family and only enjoying himself, and stepped into the abyss of gambling.


    The second visit to the blessed land caused his already broken mind to further deteriorate. However, he must have obtained some kind of blessing or prop related to gambling, so he killed everyone in this dilapidated community.


    Facing such a loved one.


    ?Wu Xian thought he could handle it easily.


    ??He only had to go upstairs and beat up Zhou Xingsen, **** Tong Yuai''s child back, and then threaten Zhou Xingsen not to harass him, and the matter would be over.


    The two came to Unit 2 of Building 4.


    This community is full of old buildings and there is no elevator. The two of them walked along the stairs to the fourth floor.


    By chance, an old man came down from upstairs. This old man had only half of his hair left. He was wearing a white vest, beach shorts and flip-flops. His face was ugly, he was lost, and he kept mumbling.


    “How could I get it wrong?”


    “I clearly thought it was a straight, but why did it suddenly change when the cards turned over...”


    ?Wu Xian stopped. He wanted to ask Lao Chen what was going on in the gambling game upstairs, but he was taken back when he reached his lips.


    Lao Chen passed him by chance.


    ?Wu Xian suddenly realized that this matter might not be as easy to resolve as he thought.


    ?Tong Yuai grabbed Wu Xian''s arm.


    “What’s wrong, hurry up, it’s almost an hour…”


    “Don’t you think it’s a little cold in the corridor?”


    Tong Yuai was stunned for a moment. She felt a little cold, but it was just cold, which was nothing compared to her child.


    Then she discovered that Wu Xian had been staring at Lao Chen, so she followed Wu Xian''s line of sight and saw Lao Chen just passing by the platform between the two stairs, and the light of the setting sun shone on Lao Chen...


    Lao Chen...has no shadow!
