On the outskirts of Jiangcheng.
Inside an underground casino, countless gamblers had gathered around a card table, greedily staring at the female dealer dealing the cards.
Their eyes burned with an uncontrollable fever.
The female dealer wore a professional black OL outfit, with straight, well-proportioned white legs and a striking bust tightly wrapped in a black suit.
There was also that cold face, and those haughty eyes that could stir countless men, along with her delicate hands wearing white gloves.
All of this moved the men in the underground casino.
And of course, the deadliest of all.
Was still the female dealer’s eyes, which could instantly awaken a desire to conquer with just one look.
“I hit the jackpot today. Miss Shen herself is dealing the cards! I really want to experience what it feels like to have Goddess Shen deal the cards in person!”
“Even from the side, she looks this gorgeous. I can’t imagine how beautiful she must be from the front!”
“…”
Many gambling-addicted men were looking at Shen Qiu with expressions of worship.
And the four gamblers at the table were even more excited, after all, it was Miss Shen herself dealing the cards.
“I’ll be keeping you company tonight!”
Shen Qiu said with a seductive smile, then swiftly and professionally shuffled a brand-new deck of cards.
After that, she began dealing cards to the four gamblers in front of her.
She bent slightly forward.
Using her hand, she slid the cards one by one in front of each gambler.
Then it was the gambler to the banker’s left who placed a bet.
As for Shen Qiu.
She quietly fixed her gaze on the banker, a middle-aged man with a round belly, wearing a suit that was nearly stretched out of shape, with a stomach as big as a stone bollard and a pair of black round-framed glasses on his nose.
The banker pretended not to notice. After the other gamblers placed their bets, he simply glanced at his cards and chose to fold.
However, at that moment.
Shen Qiu’s white-gloved hand suddenly pressed down on the banker’s hand, and she said with a smile:
“You’re folding just like that?”
“Miss Shen, what are you…”
The banker asked in confusion.
“Don’t you understand yet?”
Shen Qiu asked again with a smile.
At the same time, she squeezed hard, making the banker cry out in pain like a slaughtered pig.
Then.
Just as everyone was looking on in confusion, Shen Qiu’s long leg in high heels stepped directly onto the banker’s palm.
In an instant.
The sharp heel pierced straight through the banker’s fat hand. The banker was so slow to react that he had not even realized what had happened. It was only after he saw bright red blood seeping from his palm that the pain finally shot into his brain.
The banker let out a miserable howl, while clutching Shen Qiu’s heel with one hand, as if trying to pull it out of his palm.
But Shen Qiu’s high heels did not budge at all.
Seeing this scene.
The gamblers watching from the side, along with the other three gamblers at the table, were all extremely shocked.
But at this moment.
They all obediently shut their mouths, not daring to make a single sound, and only watched Shen Qiu with icy eyes.
“Still won’t admit it? You were cheating.”
Shen Qiu stood with one leg at the edge of the table and the other on the card table. She leaned down slightly, bringing her face close to the banker. The angle of her stretched legs exceeded 180 degrees, making countless gamblers swallow hard.
Though they yearned deeply inside, none of them dared show it on their faces, because Shen Qiu was simply far too domineering.
“I admit it… I admit it!”
Looking at the killing intent flickering in Shen Qiu’s eyes, the banker finally felt a deep sense of fear and spoke in a trembling voice.
“Having the courage to admit it is a good thing.”
Shen Qiu replied with a smile, then pulled her heel out of the banker’s palm and walked from the card table to stand in front of him.
Then, without another word.
She drove a knee strike into the banker’s chin, grabbed his left hand, and twisted hard. A sound of bones dislocating rang out.
She repeated the same action four times.
The banker’s limbs were completely ruined, and he lay dying on the floor, barely holding on to his last breath.
Shen Qiu crouched down on the floor.
Looking at the banker, she said, “The rules of the Shen family casino: cheating costs ten million for one hand. I don’t know whether you want to pay twenty million to keep both hands, or leave both hands here forever?”
“I’ll pay…”
The banker replied softly without even thinking.
“OK.”
Shen Qiu nodded.
Then she stood up and left.
The gamblers gathered around quickly made way. Shen Qiu walked out of the underground casino and appeared in a hotel parking lot.
She took out her key and opened her black Maybach. After getting in, she changed clothes inside the car, then drove out of the hotel parking lot.
At night on the outskirts, the streetlights were dim, and there were hardly any cars on the wide road.
The Maybach driven by Shen Qiu was like a black lion, crossing the elevated highway from the outskirts and speeding all the way toward the city center.
…
More than half an hour later.
Inside Private Room 001 of an upscale bar called 『Night Rose』.
Shen Qiu sat alone in the private room. On the rectangular coffee table were bottles of cocktail after cocktail, along with several bottles of strong vodka.
Shen Qiu poured a few mouthfuls of vodka into a glass, then added a few mouthfuls of cocktail, mixing them in whatever ratio she liked until the glass was full.
Then she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Repeating this process.
More than an hour later, after Shen Qiu had finished 2 bottles of vodka and more than 10 bottles of cocktails, a slight drunken haze finally appeared on her face.
She leaned quietly against the sofa.
Murmuring in a low voice.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Chen Luo, I really didn’t know… that she would be so cruel… I only wanted to have you completely…”
“I’m sorry!”
“Can you forgive me, Chen Luo… Can we start over? I know you have been avoiding me because of this, but I really know I was wrong now. Can you come back to me?”
Inside Private Room 001, with the door firmly locked, Shen Qiu murmured softly to herself. She had no idea how many nights…
She had spent in deep self-reproach!
She had reflected on it!
What happened more than two years ago, she really should not have done that.
Instead, she should have slept with Chen Luo, and then let that psycho come watch them. That way, even if that psycho actress wanted to get rid of Chen Luo.
She could still protect Chen Luo.
She had been wrong.
For the past two and a half years, she had never been able to move on.
“Chen Luo, junior, if heaven gave me one more chance to start over…”
As Shen Qiu whispered in her fantasy, she was suddenly interrupted by her phone ringing. Seeing that it was an unknown number, Shen Qiu answered the call after two seconds.
Then.
She suppressed her drunkenness and spoke in a slightly clearer voice.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hello, Shen Qiu. Who I am is not important. What matters is that I know where Chen Luo is.”
Luo Qingqing said with a smile.
Upon hearing the other person say Chen Luo’s name, Shen Qiu’s brain, which had been drunk and dazed a second earlier, instantly became incomparably alert and sharp.
Like a lion just waking up.
After pausing for a few seconds, Shen Qiu suppressed the excitement in her heart and replied calmly:
“You said… you know where Chen Luo is?”
“That’s right!”
Luo Qingqing said with a smile.
