Yan Canglan stood beside Lu Yundi, looked at the boss coldly, and said unhappily: "Looking at your attitude, are you trying to force me to stay?"

The boss glared at Yan Canglan and said, "Don't you understand? We are maintaining fair competition in the katydid fight. If you think it's unfair, leave the katydids and banknotes and get out immediately."

Lu Yundi gently pulled Yan Canglan's sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Then, she turned to the boss and said, "Well, since the boss is so enthusiastic, we won't be polite. How about another game?"

The boss's eyes flashed with pride, and he said, "You said so yourself. How much do you want to bet on this round?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, took out a banknote from his sleeve, and placed it lightly on the table: "One thousand taels, how about it?"

When the boss and his accomplices saw the two thousand taels of silver, their eyes suddenly lit up like lights.

The boss licked his lips and said, "Okay, we'll do as you say this time. But, to be fair, we have to change the way we play."

Lu Yundi frowned and said, "Change the way of playing? That depends on what kind of game it is."

The boss smiled, his eyes full of cunning, and said, "This time we are fighting a 'life and death fight', that is, if one of the two katydids dies during the fight, it will be considered a loser. What do you think? Do you dare to play?"

Yan Canglan's face darkened and he was about to say something when he was stopped by Lu Yundi.

Lu Yundi looked at the boss and said confidently, "Why are you afraid? Just play according to your own rules! If you lose, don't deny your debt!"

The katydid fight began, with two katydids colliding fiercely in the cage, fighting for territory.

Suddenly, the boss's katydid pounced and knocked Lu Yundi's katydid away instantly. The boss and his accomplices laughed, thinking victory was in sight.

However, at this moment, Lu Yundi's katydid suddenly launched a counterattack and bit the boss's katydid's throat. The boss's katydid struggled and tried to get rid of it, but it was powerless. It kicked its legs and died on the spot.

In the end, Lu Yundi's katydid won.

The boss stared at the scene with eyes wide open in disbelief. He lost the bet, but he also lost face.

Lu Yundi won another four thousand taels!

She patted Yan Canglan's hand gently and left with a smile on her face.

As they walked along Kowloon Street, they heard the boss cursing from behind, but Lu Yundi didn't care.

After Lu Yundi and the others left, the boss and a few strong men exchanged glances and secretly followed Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan.

As the night deepens, the bustling Kowloon Street has gradually come to an end, leaving only a few dim lanterns swaying with faint light.

Soon, the boss and a few strong men came to the entrance of a deserted alley. Sure enough, Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan were standing there, seemingly looking for a way out.

The boss sneered and walked over with the fierce-looking men.

"You two, didn't expect that this day would come to you, did you?" The boss' voice was filled with some pride.

Lu Yundi turned around, her eyes revealing a firmness: "I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to send someone to follow us."

"Shameless? Ha, don't you understand? You must leave the banknotes today, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" The boss took a step closer, the flesh on his face trembling.

Lu Yundi snorted coldly, turned around to look at Yan Canglan, and smiled: "Do you think that the outcome of a cricket fight is really just a matter of luck?" There was a cunning light in her eyes, like a sly fox.

Yan Canglan frowned and looked at her in confusion: "Could it be that there is some secret in this?"

"Of course." Lu Yundi pointed to the jar in his hand and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Yan Canglan leaned over to check, and saw that the katydid was struggling in pain in the jar, its body trembling from time to time. He raised his head suddenly, staring at Lu Yundi with a sharp gaze: "What...what's going on?"

"There is a drug that can make katydids extremely excited and greatly increase their fighting power. However, the drug's effect is limited, and the katydid will return to normal in a short time." Lu Yundi said calmly: "Look, the effect of the drug on our katydid has worn off, and its body can't help but start twitching."

Yan Canglan was horrified: "So, you are also against my Grasshopper..."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a proud look in his eyes: "Yes, I gave your katydid a strong medicine. The outcome of the katydid fight is already under my control."

Yan Canglan's face changed. He didn't expect that his stepmother's methods would be so vicious!

Yan Canglan stared at Lu Yundi with a sharp gaze, and said in a serious tone: "Mother, since you knew they were cheating, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Young Master, isn't this an opportunity? Let me show you the world and let you recognize this scam so you don't get fooled in the future."

Yan Canglan frowned and asked in confusion: "Since you know all this, why do you still want to participate in the grasshopper fight? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with an unfathomable look in his eyes: "How can there be eternal winners in this world? Winning and losing are common in the military. What's important is that in this process, we can see through human nature."

When the boss of Dou Gua Gua and the strong men heard what the two said, they immediately became furious, the flesh on their faces twisted, and their teeth chattered.

The boss' eyes widened and he roared, "How dare you two run wild on Kowloon Street! Today I'm going to let you know how powerful I am!"

Lu Yundi laughed, took Yan Canglan's hand, turned around and ran.

Her laughter floated in the night, as if mocking those angry men.

"Catch them! Don't let them run away!" the boss roared and ordered the strong men to chase them.

They were panting, but in the night, the figures of Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan were like two swimming dragons, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Soon, they escaped into a busy street.

The night market on Rongqing Street is brightly lit, bustling with people, and the cries of various vendors can be heard one after another.

Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan blended into the crowd and disappeared.

"Boss, we can't catch up." A sturdy man stopped, panting heavily.

The boss stared at him, with a sly gleam in his eyes: "What are you afraid of? We are not vegetarians. As long as they are still here, we will definitely find them."

Just at this moment, a group of Nine Gates detectives wearing black tights appeared from the street. They were like ghosts in the night, quickly moving through the crowd to search.

Seeing this, the boss and the strong man were shocked and thought that something was wrong.

"Let's go. Don't let the constables from the Nine Gates misunderstand us." A sturdy man, feeling guilty, immediately stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

The boss hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, turned around and left this place of trouble.

At this time, Lu Yundi suddenly saw a team of constables from the Nine Gates coming out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. They had serious expressions and hurried steps.
