It took a long time to study the books, which made Lu Ning a little distracted during class on Thursday. It wasn't until noon that Han Qing mysteriously pulled her into the toilet, took out two tickets and showed them to Lu Ning.
"Concert? Didn't you tell me a long time ago..."
"That's different! There was an official lottery for tickets to the concert yesterday! Guess what? I won!"
Lu Ning was still thinking about what she saw yesterday. She didn't pay much attention for a moment and responded casually:
"Oh, what's the prize?"
"Cen Mujian's private fan meeting! It's only twenty minutes long! I don't even dare to tell others!"
The more Han Qing talked, the more excited he became, and he even seemed to be about to faint. Lu Ning quickly calmed her down and realized what Han Qing had just said.
"You won the prize...congratulations."
"Lu Ning! Come with me! I'm afraid I'll faint from excitement, so I need a calm person like you to accompany me!"
"Wait, it's for two people?"
"I am allowed to bring an escort! Promise me! This is also a good opportunity, right? You can also feel the charm of Cen Mujian up close!"
Han Qing pulled Lu Ning's arm, as if he wouldn't let go unless he agreed. Lu Ning could only nodded and asked about the time. It was after ten o'clock after the concert, which was not too late.
The last thing she did was to find Cheng Yurun just in case.
Cheng Yurun has been busy with something these days, probably related to tasks. At least he should have solved most of the main tasks by now, and he has probably obtained clues to the Victim Club.
Although Lu Ning knew that he couldn't count on the other party, on the other hand, since he was leaving the scene, Cheng Yurun had nothing to hide.
"Feel sorry."
The two sat down in the music classroom again, and Cheng Yurun apologized.
"You don't owe me anything."
"It's my problem that my teammates formed an alliance but failed to perform their duties properly." Cheng Yurun shook his head slightly, "Are you going to the concert tomorrow? Then be careful."
"Your mission is completed." Lu Ning said in a positive tone.
"Yes, it would be faster to find the first task yourself, although that also means missing some clues about your identity. The serial murderer Si Fanle has already told you, you just need to verify it. As for the victims The club… where I went is now abandoned and there’s nothing to be found, so I can’t help you.”
"How did you learn about the clues there?" Lu Ning asked with a frown.
"Exchange information with Jiang Shanhao, and then track down the suspects. Many of us have already sneaked into their meetings in this way, and the task is also completed... Because the time is too short, I did not have time to inform you."
"It doesn't matter."
"So what I can tell you is the content of that meeting: They are preparing to attack the Queen's Golden Crown tomorrow. As the largest terrorist attack, many important members of the club will be involved in this matter. There is no doubt that those with abilities will also Will get involved.”
After hearing the news, Lu Ning was a little embarrassed.
"Many tasks are easy to complete after finding clues, so this is a good opportunity... But I won't interfere, and you know the reason." Cheng Yurun stood up, "Sabbath, that is a trap. I want to open the door Someone has already contacted you, and it won't do you any harm to listen to what she has to say about some inconsequential matters. I've almost guessed who she is, and you probably don't know her, so her trustworthiness is okay."
He took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Lu Ning.
"There is a program here that will lock it for seventy-two hours. I have already left by then. You can take a look at what is unlocked. Finally, people like Jiang Shanhao... don't trust them too much."
"I understand." Lu Ning also stood up, stretched out her hand to shake Cheng Yurun's hand, "Then I wish you good luck."
"Thank you." Cheng Yurun managed a smile with difficulty.
=======================
In the early morning, Lu Ning put on the outfit she got in District 7 again. With the assistance of Jumonji Yana, she completed her first makeup application. Then the two of them headed straight for the Queen's Golden Crown.
On the eighteenth floor, the top floor of the casino, gambling here is not a simple money transaction, but a more liberal, arbitrary bet gambling.
Everyone who walks in here must undergo strict and confidential identity verification to confirm all the "gambling funds" he holds. This process is not too slow. People with simple net worth like Lu Ning and Jumonji Ye Na can find out how much is left after just a little check, and they quickly passed the verification at the door.
Everyone in the casino has a certain disguise, so Jumonmony Yana has a rather different costume. She didn't care about that. She took a glass of red wine from the waiter and started to taste it, while Lu Ning was also carefully looking at the surrounding environment.
There are several long tables with food, and bustling men and women in different clothes shuttle here. It doesn't look like a casino but more like a banquet. There is a high platform in the distance, and a band is playing soothing blues music on it. The largest number of people are gathered below the high platform.
Lu Ning picked up a piece of crystal pastry and thought that the supplies here were free and it was not difficult to enter. So the only difficulty was leaving?
At this moment, someone tapped her shoulder.
She turned around and saw Ye Nai gesturing to her on the other side. A man wearing a silver mask covering the upper half of his face was waving to her.
The two walked over together, and when the man opened his mouth, Lu Ning recognized his voice.
"Long time no see, Miss Lu Ning."
"Luke? I didn't expect to see you here."
"I am more or less from a wealthy family, and I did a little research on your identity after that day... Please don't be offended."
"You can save your apology for later. Do you know what the gambling is going on here?"
"Then you asked the right person." Luke raised the corner of his mouth. "The gambling here will start at nine o'clock in the morning. There will be a big gambling game every hour. Only after the first big gambling game starts, the small gambling games will start. It’s officially started. Some people can get rich in just one hour here, while others can lose everything they own in minutes. These are all possible.”
"Everything about myself?"
"It's very dangerous." Luke raised his finger and pointed at a man in a suit and tie not far away. "Last week, this man won the other person's life from a private entrepreneur, and now he owns a building worth hundreds of millions. company, three overseas properties, and married a young and beautiful model as his wife. If the other party’s child was not over fifteen years old, I’m afraid even the custody rights would have been taken over.”
"child?"
"The so-called life includes descendants, even if they are only children under the age of fifteen. It will probably be difficult for that entrepreneur to make a comeback now, right? After all, besides these actual losses, who knows what else has been taken away."
Luke smiled sarcastically.
"People here never know that big gambling is harmful to the body. In fact, many people come here with nothing to try their luck, so it is normal to bet all their wealth and life on everything. But even so, this kind of overnight The feeling of taking everything from others is still fascinating.”
"Sounds like you come here a lot?"
"Clues... Miss Lu Ning." Luke raised his finger and made a small gesture, "And a place like this is probably the most suitable for me."
At this moment, the band's performance suddenly stopped, the back of the high platform suddenly lit up, and brilliant golden fonts appeared above:
[Can Cen Mujian’s concert end safely tonight? 】
There were only two options below: "Yes" and "No". Such a scene made Lu Ning feel a little dazed.
"This is just an introduction. The floors below will also invest money here. It's very simple, right? Choose one of the two, and if you win, you will share the loser's money in proportion. Don't worry, it's a small scene." Luke said and took out a card. After giving instructions to the waiter next to me, the waiter immediately took out a small machine and swiped the card.
Sure enough, taking this as a signal, someone immediately made a gambling invitation to others.
Lu Ning quickly experienced what "arbitrary bets" were. After all, she and Jumonmon Yana both looked good, and they obviously felt restrained as if they were coming to such a place for the first time. Soon several people came over and invited them.
"You two ladies, do you want to make a bet?"
These people looked urgent.
Lu Ning did not agree immediately, but turned to look at Luke to listen to his explanation first.
"It's easy to get in here, but it's hard to get out." Luke laughed, "You are only allowed to leave when your betting transaction amount reaches a certain number, otherwise the casino will forcibly confiscate your belongings until it reaches a certain number. Up to that limit. And every time you come in, this limit will be increased. I remember the first time it was not much, it seemed to be five million? "
"What? Is there a veteran here?" A man in a purple suit sneered, "But it's better to know. If you don't bet with us, someone will come to pester you later."
"After all, you guys have a low limit, so you can't afford to lose even if you lose." Another person echoed.
It seems that there is no need to ask what to do if the money is not enough and confiscated.
"Then, what kind of gambling is it?" Ye Nai asked curiously.
The purple suit adjusted its collar proudly.
"We still have this gentlemanly demeanor. You decide the betting method. As long as the official confirms it is fair, we will accept it!"
The official confirmation is that it is fair, which means that you are not allowed to choose your own strengths as a gambling project.
"Oh~" Ye Nai snorted meaningfully, "Then let's play mahjong? You can't do this, right?"
Those few people agreed happily, but Lu Ning had no interest in it and said he would not participate.
"You're really relieved." After the others left, Luke got Lu Ning a glass of soda.
"She doesn't need me to worry, and I don't need to worry about the money." Lu Ning took the soda and asked, "Have you investigated your own family issues?"
Luke nodded and led Lu Ning to wander around the hall.
"To put it simply, my identity is that I have money but no connections. There is some discord at home, and the amount of information I can get is relatively small. I really envy you people who have a lot of clues."
"Investigation, information exchange, and adventure are all necessary."
"I don't dare." Luke passed by a roulette table, casually placed a bet in a black area, and lost immediately.
"Why do you say that?"
"As you can see, I'm a bit...lucky." Luke threw the ball into the red zone again, but still lost the bet with a 1/2 chance.
"Weird luck?" Lu Ning also took out two chips, which she exchanged with all the cash she had on hand when she walked in. They were very valuable.
"Yeah." Luke smiled, took out a stack of ten golden chips, and bet on the "0" position. Lu Ning also placed two of his own in the same place.
The people at the gambling table were not surprised by the money, but they were a little surprised by the two people betting on the area that was neither black nor red, and they all started joking. Luke handled it quite skillfully, and Lu Ning was spared the need to deal with it. people.
The roulette wheel quickly started spinning, and the balls hit each block quickly, making a clanging sound. Luke didn't care about the results on the table. He turned to Lu Ning and said, "I was really unlucky that day. I went out. My car tire burst, I came to drink and suddenly had gastrointestinal discomfort, I met a robber even when I went to the toilet, but the final result is that I met you, and then used the information I got from you to open up the situation..."
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
"You want to talk about your luck?"
"I'm usually unlucky, and I'm bound to lose in every bet. But what's the saying? Is it going to be the best? After accumulating a certain amount of 'misfortune', I will definitely get lucky. Although I don't know it most of the time. You will be lucky in some aspects, but some small things are still quite controllable.”
The ball slid past the last color area and fell into the colorless grid.
"Congratulations to both of you!"
The people at the gambling table shouted, but they were not angry at all. This small amount of money is just entertainment for the people here, and being able to see someone winning the "0" area makes them feel even more happy.
The two ordinary chips in Lu Ning's hand have been replaced by a handful of gold ones. As she said before, a transaction amount of five million is nothing at all.
"Lend your light." Lu Ning put the chips in her pocket and nodded to Luke.
"Then as a return gift, I wonder if I have the honor to treat you to dinner? The view on the top floor here is quite outstanding." Luke extended the invitation in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."
"What about tomorrow? I think we'll have a lot to talk about on Sabbath night."
"I can accept this invitation."
Lu Ning narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the high platform in the distance.
"Do you recognize the woman in the red dress?"
On the high platform, the staff responsible for the screen operation was tied up by several bodyguards and thrown onto the high platform. A fat man walked up with difficulty, and someone moved a chair next to him for him to sit down, while a woman in red led Two young men, a man and a woman, walked to the high platform.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on that side.
Zhao Xihua showed a charming smile to the people in the audience, then raised his left hand and pressed an exquisite revolver against his temple.
