The person behind this cruise casino business was very mysterious, almost monopolizing more than half of the world’s casinos, but no one knew who this person really was. They only knew that both civilians and underground people dared not make things difficult.

Bai Rui looked around, everything looked incredibly luxurious, but the casino was filled with noisy people. Everyone greedily stared at the weights on the table. Gambling was harmful to people. He didn’t know how many people had lost their fortunes here.

Bai Rui followed Feng Yuzheng to meet his so-called friends, which even included Zhao Ran, who called him a few days ago. Zhao Ran immediately greeted Bai Rui warmly.

“Ruiran, long time no see.”

“Long time no see, Zhao Ran. Why are you here?”

Bai Rui looked at Feng Yuzheng as he spoke. Zhao Ran’s face flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, and then he immediately smiled and said.

“It’s the weekend. I just came over with friends to hang out; I didn’t expect to run into you. We have an old friendship, so I had to come over and say hello to you no matter what. Come on, come on, let’s play together!”

After Zhao Ran finished speaking, he was about to pull Bai Rui’s arm, but Bai Rui calmly avoided Zhao Ran’s tug.

Zhao Ran’s friend was a man with dark skin and a hooked nose. The man’s name was Liu Ci. Liu Ci was an old man who had been immersed in casinos for many years. He could also be considered a person of high reputation in this scene; he was especially fond of playing with handsome and sunny young people. Feng Ruiran’s appearance perfectly matched his preferences.

Liu Ci’s eyes unabashedly scrutinized Bai Rui, their eyes filled with lewd light. Bai Rui naturally felt the other person’s unrestrained gaze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly subsided.

“Ruiran, we are all young. Let’s play together and exchange feelings.”

Feng Yuzheng spoke calmly and persuasively, as if he was just a good big brother who wanted to help his younger brother get to know more people, and this wasn’t a predetermined situation. Bai Rui quietly nodded at Feng Yuzheng and followed Zhao Ran towards the table.

At this moment, in the monitoring room of the gambling cruise ship, a tall man frowned. When he saw Zhao Ran move to pull Bai Rui, he hands clenched into fists in an instant, only to relax when he saw Bai Rui dodge. Wang Sheng, standing beside him, dared not breathe and spoke cautiously.

“Boss, do you want the people below to intentionally lose to Young Master Feng?”

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips and shook his head. Since Xiao Ran had already told him yesterday to be rest assured, he couldn’t intervene casually. It was his turf, so he wasn’t afraid that something might happen to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Zhan furrowed his brow and stared fixedly at the young man in the surveillance footage, watching him chat and laugh with a group of malicious people, pretending to be submissive.

Especially Liu Ci, who dared to look at the treasure he held in his heart with such disgusting eyes. Xiao Zhan wished he could immediately dig out his eyeballs, bring the youth back to his side, and imprison him in his arms.

Leaning back on the seat in front of the screens, Xiao Zhan lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs. Staring at Bai Rui’s face without blinking, he whispered softly.

“What a naughty child.”

Bai Rui happily gambled with Feng Yuzheng and others. They wanted to use Liu Ci to gradually trap Bai Rui in gambling and then let Zhao Ran stir up trouble on the side so that Bai Rui could lose all the property rights of the land on the gambling table.

However, Bai Rui wouldn’t let things go as planned. He only won a few games at the beginning and had been maintaining a state of neither winning nor losing ever since. Liu Ci tried his best, but Bai Rui’s chips remained unchanged.

Feng Yuzheng’s gaze turned unfriendly as he looked at Liu Ci. Sweat broke out from Liu Ci’s forehead; he turned and looked up at the young man’s smile. He mysteriously felt that the other party seemed to be an unexpected danger; often at the gambling table, intuition was an extremely important part.

Feng Yuzheng also felt that something wasn’t right, but making Bai Rui lose the contract wasn’t all of his plan. So seeing this scene, he took a few steps back, signaled to the people around him, and hid in the crowd.

Zhao Ran walked over with a smile on his face and said to Bai Rui.

“Brother, this is your first time coming to the casino, and your luck is already quite good. Do you want to try your luck in the inner court? It isn’t a place where ordinary people can go.”

Upon hearing Zhao Ran’s words, Bai Rui raised an eyebrow and smiled.

“What does ‘inner court’ mean? Are you sure I can go too?”

Zhao Ran saw that Bai Rui was interested and immediately nodded in encouragement.

“Of course you can go; I’m your brother, and I’ll protect you! Besides, with so many friends around you, what are you afraid of? Your brother also said that he wants you to see more of the world. Are you afraid to go?”

Zhao Ran tried to motivate Bai Rui while encouraging those around him to do the same.

As expected, after a few words, Bai Rui showed a wavering expression then agreed. Following the group, they left the gambling hall and walked down the cruise corridor towards the private room deep inside.

Xiao Zhan, who was constantly monitoring the surveillance, immediately turned and asked Wang Sheng.

“Where are they going?”

Wang Sheng saw the unfriendly expression on Xiao Zhan’s face and quickly explained.

“They should have gone to the inner court, but it’s usually reserved by the sub bureau. I checked and it seems Feng Yuzheng had someone else reserve a room on our cruise ship. Boss, do you think he wants to take advantage of Young Master Feng?”

Upon hearing Wang Sheng’s words, Xiao Zhan stared fixedly at the surveillance screen, even as he instructed Wang Sheng.

“Monitor the movements of these people, and open the hidden cameras in the private room immediately.”

Bai Rui followed Zhao Ran into the so-called inner court, where several people were already sitting in the small private room. Those people greeted Bai Rui and others warmly upon their arrival.

But with Bai Rui’s experience, how could he not feel the malice of this group of people? He played a few games with them, seemingly without noticing anything; then Zhao Ran on the side casually spoke up.

“We’re not having much fun just playing; why don’t we drink some red wine to liven things up?”

Bai Rui looked at the tampered red wine brought over to him and, without hesitation, picked up his glass. Feeling the occasional glances from people around him, he revealed a meaningful smile. Originally, he was waiting for them here.

He drank with great courage and indeed saw a gloating expression in the eyes of those around him. However, what they didn’t know was that Bai Rui had already asked Lao Hei to control the system and replace the wine.

The truly affected wine was already in their glasses. And what Bai Rui drank was just ordinary red wine.

Seeing Zhao Ran and others around him slowly turning red and their consciousness blurring, Bai Rui couldn’t help but feel a hint of irony. Ignoring the crowd in the room who had already started to entangle with each other, he nonchalantly left the room.

Just as he left the private room, he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes walking towards him. The man looked at Bai Rui with a smile on his face and said respectfully.

“Hello sir, I am the person in charge of the casino. Our boss would like to meet you. Please come with me.”

“Who is your boss?”

Bai Rui looked at the other person and asked calmly.

“I’m not at liberty to disclose this, please!”

The tone of the person in charge may have sounded polite, yet his voice also had an undertone of dominance. Bai Rui had heard that the mysterious person behind this casino wasn’t someone that ordinary people could afford to offend.

Although Bai Rui felt confused, he nodded and followed the person in charge. But in his heart, he wondered why the boss wanted to see him.

Bai Rui was guided by the casino manager to the door of a room at the end of the corridor. After being brought here, the manager left, leaving Bai Rui to enter on his own.

Bai Rui didn’t think his original body had made enemies with such a big shot, so he didn’t feel any pressure and opened the door, only to find that the room was pitch black and he couldn’t see his fingers.

Just as Bai Rui was about to express his doubts, he was suddenly brought into a broad embrace. Bai Rui’s eyes flickered with coldness; just as he was about to attack, he smelled the familiar scent of green grass.

The scent that lingered all night yesterday while holding his tie; Bai Rui inexplicably became excited. Overwhelming kisses fell, but the other party didn’t seem to know much, so he bit Bai Rui’s face without any skills.

Bai Rui really wanted to hug Xiao Zhan, but the other party tightly held onto his hands, as if afraid that he would resist. Bai Rui had no choice but to passionately kiss Xiao Zhan back. The two inexperienced people could only rely on instinct to bite each other, and their kisses were more like a battle for sovereignty.

Perhaps his physical fitness was inferior to Xiao Zhan’s. Bai Rui gradually lost some strength and leaned softly in Xiao Zhan’s arms.

Xiao Zhan felt the other’s obedience; he released the grip on the young man’s hands, and changed to a strong embrace, as if wanting to crush the young man into his bones and blood.

Slowly, Xiao Zhan gradually mastered the rhythm and wanted to move from shallow to deep. The sweet taste made Xiao Zhan addicted, and he couldn’t help but want more.

He heavily inhaled in the scent of the person in his arms, and his passionate kisses never stopped, leaving deep red marks behind Bai Rui’s ears as if he wanted to vent his intense love.

Bai Rui couldn’t help but moan softly and let out a comfortable sigh. Both of their bodies couldn’t help but react as they embraced and gasped for breath.

Bai Rui’s first real contact with desire left him wanting more. He twisted his body, trying to break free from the other’s embrace, but suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.

Xiao Zhan looked at the young man lying in his arms; he gently ran his fingers over his eyebrows and eyes, and then he devoutly kissed his forehead. Under his impulse today, he forced the young man, but he had no regrets.

God knew how scared he was when he saw the group of people clearly entangled in an ugly manner while watching the so-called private room surveillance footage.

Xiao Zhan didn’t know how Bai Rui managed to escape, but that didn’t prevent him from feeling scared afterwards. He just wanted to firmly hold the young man in his arms, confirm that he was intact and that he was fine.

With his head buried under the young man’s jaw, Xiao Zhan breathed deeply the scent of his beloved and whispered softly.

“Xiaoran, Xiaoran, you are mine!”
