Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

After a long wait, Lin Ping finally gambled away the two thousand taels of silver he had borrowed.

He feigned annoyance and said urgently, "Lend me another three thousand taels!"

"Give Young Master Lin another three thousand taels of silver!"

The casino owner smiled.

No matter what tricks Lin Ping plays, as long as he doesn't raise the stakes, the two thousand taels of silver are his.

To increase the speed as much as possible, the stakes were increased to one hundred taels of silver per game.

Lin Ping also broke his record of losing sixty games in a row, successfully losing five thousand taels of silver.

"Young Master Lin, will you come again?"

The casino owner gave a wicked smile.

"Another five thousand taels!"

Lin Ping answered through gritted teeth.

"Give Young Master Lin five thousand taels!"

The casino owner's smile grew even brighter.

He was confident he could win another five thousand taels.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Lin Ping's five thousand taels of silver were gone again.

Lin Ping rolled up his sleeves, furious.

"I refuse to believe I can't win this round. I'll borrow another ten thousand taels!"

Lin Ping said angrily.

The reason he continued to borrow money was that the gambling den had a rule that loans exceeding 10,000 taels of silver required a special written agreement, and at that point, he would be one step closer to completing his mission.

"Young Master Lin, you know our rules. It's not easy to deal with anything over ten thousand taels of silver."

The casino owner shrugged, looking helpless.

He is forcing Lin Ping to comply.

"It's just a written agreement, right? No problem. If I can't pay you back, my life is yours!"

Lin Ping signed and sealed the document with a flourish of his pen.

"Young Master Lin has great courage, actually risking his life!"

The casino owner gave a thumbs up.

In fact, Lin Ping could get 10,000 taels of silver simply by mortgaging his house and land.

But he didn't want to sacrifice the old house as well; he had to leave something for his parents.

Moreover, he was determined to die, and fighting to the death was the best outcome.

The gambling den owner naturally wouldn't refuse. Lin Ping had just won 40,000 taels yesterday, so he was sure he could pay it back. He had no worries.

In the ensuing competition, the gambling den owner was extra cautious, fearing he might fall into Lin Ping's trap.

Although he won money every time, his palms were covered in fine beads of sweat, and his clothes were soaked through.

"Sigh... I've lost everything again..."

Lin Ping shrugged and sighed, but his heart was filled with excitement.

"Young Master Lin, 20,000 taels is our limit. You can't continue to borrow money. How about this, I'll send someone to go home with you to get the money?"

The casino owner had a smile on his face.

His goal wasn't just the 20,000 taels; he wanted to win all the money in Lin Ping's house.

"Go home to get the money?"

Lin Ping looked puzzled, then solemnly said, "Where would I get money? Didn't we agree that I'd give you my life? Go ahead and do it, don't hold back, I like it quick!"

Lin Ping stretched out his neck and was slashed by the other party.

The gambling den owner was immediately dumbfounded and somewhat confused.

What is Lin Ping up to?

Would you risk your life for 20,000 taels of silver?

Judging from his fearless demeanor, it didn't seem like he was joking.

“Young Master Lin, there’s no need for you to joke. You just won 40,000 taels of silver yesterday. Adding your initial investment, you have at least 50,000 taels. How could you not come up with 20,000 taels?”

The casino owner explained.

Lin Ping shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Sigh, it's a long story. I gave Su Lianlian all 50,000 taels of silver yesterday as our wedding dowry. I came here today hoping to win some more pocket money, but I didn't expect to lose 20,000 taels..."

Upon hearing this, even the casino owner turned green with envy.

Everyone in Jiangcheng Prefecture knew that Lin Ping was pursuing Su Lianlian and had spent countless amounts of money on her.

Lin Ping said it was not surprising at all that the 50,000 taels of silver were given to Su Lianlian.

The gambling den owner flew into a rage, grabbing Lin Ping by the collar and shouting, "Lin Ping, you dare to play me? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I'm not kidding you. I've said it before: I have no money, but you can take my life. Come on, do it. Stop beating around the bush."

Lin Ping said somewhat impatiently.

Things have come to this point, he refuses to believe he can't die.

The gambling den owner was so angry that his hands trembled.

He used to be like a tiger in the mountains, and no one dared to mess with him.

But now he's like a docile sick cat, completely helpless against Lin Ping.

"Hmph, even if you have no money, the Lin family has many treasures that can be worth twenty thousand taels of silver! Men, come with me to the Lin family to collect the debt!"

After saying this, the gambling den owner escorted Lin Ping to the Lin residence.

At this moment, Su Lianlian was dressed in the clothes of a well-bred young lady and chatting with Lin's mother.

She wanted to make a good impression on Lin's mother, since they would be family in the future.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside the gate, and several burly men stormed in menacingly.

"Lin Fugui, your son's life is in my hands, get out here right now!"

The gambling den owner grabbed Lin Ping by the collar and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Fugui rushed over, his face filled with shock.

"Boss Shen? What's going on?"

Lin Fugui asked, at a loss.

Lin's mother also rushed over and was very anxious when she saw Lin Ping being grabbed by the collar.

"Let go of my son, you bastards, let go of my son right now!"

Lin's mother was so anxious that her eyes turned red. If Lin Fugui hadn't stopped her, she would have definitely gone up and fought the gambling den owner.

"Lin Ping owes me 20,000 taels of silver. Pay up now, or I'll kill him!"

The gambling den owner said viciously.

Hearing this, Lin Fugui was both angry and devastated.

If he had known this would happen, he should have broken Lin Ping's legs so that he could never set foot in the gambling den again.

"You unfilial son..."

Lin Fugui was so angry that he trembled all over, and he began to slap himself.

If he hadn't failed in raising his son, this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

"Stop talking nonsense and give me the money!"

The casino owner said in a very unfriendly manner.

"Mr. Shen, where would my Lin family get any money? If you don't believe me, come in and search the house."

Lin Fugui shook his head and said helplessly.

The gambling den owner stared at Lin Fugui for a moment. The old man's clothes were full of patches, and he didn't look like he had any money. It seemed that Lin Ping was not lying.

Su Lianlian's heart tightened. Had she made a mistake?

Is the Lin family really broke?

No, even if the Lin family is poor, they must have countless properties. Otherwise, how could Lin Ping just casually give away 50,000 taels of silver to someone else?

"Since you have no money, then bring out everything of value in the house to pay off the debt!"

The casino owner said angrily.

Hearing this, Su Lianlian was displeased and hurriedly stopped them, saying, "You'd better be careful! The Lin family's place is full of treasures. If you break even a few things, you won't be able to afford to pay for them!"

In her opinion, the Lin family must have a treasure vault.

The gambling den owner was immediately reassured; since Su Lianlian had said so, it must be true.

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing and we definitely won't take more than our share, but all the items here can only be sold at 30% of the original price!"

The gambling den owner smiled maliciously; he naturally wanted to make as much money as possible.

Immediately afterwards, the thugs stormed into every room of the Lin family's house.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, these people returned empty-handed.
