Chapter 2154
While Xiao Lintian, Pei Yu and others were trapped in the underground palace, Ye Rong and Long Jing had successfully entered the casino of Xingluo Palace.
Thanks to Long Jing's status as a distinguished guest, Ye Rong, as a bodyguard, seemed to be someone they were familiar with, and the two of them were received smoothly.
Ye Rong had been to the Xingluo Palace Casino before and had gambled there several times. It was just because most of the guests who came and went were acquaintances. Like Ye Xun, they would jeer at Ye Rong every time they saw it.
Ye Rong never came again.
The casino was very large, and the person who greeted them was the casino's manager Feng, a slender man in his fifties.
Ye Rong also knew him before. This man with a mustache is also a master. With his shrewd eyes, he looks like a powerful character.
"Third Young Master, are you busy these two days? Why didn't you come to the casino?"
Manager Feng said with a smile.
There was a trap in these words. On the way here, Long Jing thought that he was supposed to come to buy the ointment yesterday, but he didn't come.
Since Manager Feng is responsible for selling balm, he must know how many days each customer's balm can last.
Since he didn't come yesterday, Manager Feng must have known that he was addicted to drugs. He was testing whether he knew what the consequences would be if he didn't inhale the balm!
"The night before yesterday, I helped my father catch a killer. He was poisoned, which caused me unbearable pain for two hours. My father hired a famous doctor to help me detoxify!"
Long Jing said calmly: "Things got better when I woke up this morning. I slept all afternoon and felt that I still need the balm from your Xingluo Palace to refresh myself. Why don't you come over here?"
Long Jing's words were reasonable and reasonable. Guanshi Feng took a closer look at Long Jing's face and saw that he was indeed pale and weak, so his suspicion disappeared.
"Third Young Master, please lie down and rest for a while. The younger one will go get you some ointment!"
After Manager Feng finished speaking, he walked out.
"Son..."
Just as Ye Rong was about to speak, Long Jing winked at him, and then waved his hand to create a barrier around him.
"Don't talk nonsense in there, be careful the walls have ears!"
Long Jing said hurriedly: "This Manager Feng is a very suspicious person. He may not believe what I just said, so be careful!"
"good!"
Ye Rong nodded. What Long Jing said was what he wanted to remind him. The two of them could think of one thing that proved that Long Jing was also a cautious person.
Long Jing withdrew the barrier.
"Lie down and rest for a while!"
Long Jing winked at Ye Rong and lay down first.
Manager Feng brought them to Long Jing's private room at Xingluo Palace Casino, which contained two beds and a tea table.
Ye Rong walked to the chair next to the tea table and sat down.
Long Jing pretended to be addicted to drugs and couldn't help but yawn.
After a while, Manager Feng came in with the balm and said with a smile: "Third Young Master, I just wanted to talk to you. Our stock of balm is running low. There have been a lot of people wanting to buy it recently, and the supply exceeds demand."
"So our palace master decided to limit the supply every day from now on!"
Long Jing frowned in displeasure: "Is it true that the ointment I want is limited to a certain amount?"
Manager Feng said with a smile: "Third Young Master, please forgive me, there are really many people who want it, and the supply exceeds the demand! Third Young Master, although the limit is limited, you don't need to come to buy it every day. Xingluo Palace will send someone to deliver it to your door every day!"
Long Jing's heart sank. Is Xingluo Palace about to close the net?
For a young man from an aristocratic family like himself, the gambling debt he owed to Xingluo Palace for smoking balm was hidden from his family.
Doesn't this door-to-door delivery tell my family that I have close contact with Xingluo Palace?
"Steward Feng, what you are doing is a bit unethical! Do you think that I owe you money and want to complain to my father?"
Long Jing pretended to be annoyed and resentful: "Calculate for me how much money I owe you. I will send someone to deliver the money tomorrow!"
"Don't even think of me coming to Xingluo Palace from now on!"
