Scientific Travel

Zeng Dong shuffled the cards, and Deng Yin had no objection to it.

After Zeng Dong finished dealing the cards, Deng Yin took all the cards on the table and went into the space.

As expected, Zeng Dong's hand contained the Monkey King pair.

When Deng led the way, he put the rest of the cards back in their original positions and then swapped the positions of the cards in the hands of the two men.

Zeng Dong wore a confident smile. She dealt herself a pair of Monkey Kings, and dealt everyone a mixed set of the lowest cards.

Zeng Dong didn't rush to look at the cards, but instead asked Deng Yin, "How much are you betting this time?"

Deng Yin pretended to take money out of his pocket, but actually took out one hundred silver coins from his spatial storage.

"I've bet all of these."

"Don't you want to check what kind of card it is first?" Zeng Dong asked.

“No need.” Deng Yin tapped rhythmically on the table with his four fingers. “Whether you look or not, it won’t change the outcome, so it’s better to be straightforward.”

Zeng Dong began to admire her, and after the bet was over, she was willing to introduce Deng Yin to the boss.

"Then let's open it."

Zeng Dong's expression changed rapidly when she saw Deng Yin's cards. She flipped over her own cards, which were clearly the miscellaneous cards that Deng Yin had originally given her!

If you're not as skilled as others, there's no point in saying more.

Zeng Dong kept her word. With three thousand gold coins, she gave Deng Yin two choices: "Do you want the gold coins or exchange them all for silver notes?"

"Gold coins, please." Silver notes would require exchanging them at a money exchange, which is too much trouble.

Faced with someone with such superb gambling skills, it would be best to recruit them. Zeng Dong seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now and extended an olive branch to Deng Yin: "I wonder if you would be interested in joining our casino? We can discuss the profit sharing in detail."

"No interest." Deng Yin only wanted to make quick money and didn't want to go to work every day.

Zeng Dong was surprised by Deng Yin's decisive refusal, and his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

This kind of person is not someone you should be your enemy.

But if you can't be friends, then it's no different from being enemies...

Having earned so much today, it was still pitch black outside. Deng Yin, carrying a bundle of gold coins on his back, ignored the stares of those around him and stepped out the door.

There will definitely be people following along; the only difference is the number of people.

There's a high probability of individual tourists joining, but it's uncertain whether casino staff will follow.

Deng Yin made several turns, but the people behind him kept close behind.

There were police officers ahead, and Deng Yin, who believed that people who lived by their own rules would not dare to fight against the police, deliberately walked in the direction of the police.

She was alone, so she was a small target and the police might not be able to spot her. But there were at least ten people behind her, so she was easy to be discovered.

Those who were following Deng Yin understood her intentions. Several of the less skilled fighters backed down, and in the end, only the casino people continued to follow.

Their goal wasn't to get the money back, but to find out who this person was.

Those who can work as guards in casinos are naturally quite skilled in martial arts. While they might not be able to fight the police, they can at least conceal their presence from being discovered.

Deng Yin didn't know martial arts, but she had excellent hearing. She could only tell if someone was there by the sound behind her.

It sounds like no one is there, but it's possible that they're too far away to hear or that the other person can hide their footsteps.

Since she can't find it, let the police find it.

Deng Yin stopped walking and started running. The clinking of gold coins was especially noticeable in the silent night, and he was spotted by the police almost as soon as he took his first step.

"who!"

The people behind her were very close to Deng Yin. Now that she had been exposed, they could only retreat to avoid being discovered by the police.

Deng Yin darted out like a rabbit. Three thousand gold coins were no small amount, weighing a full ninety-six jin, but she felt no pressure at all carrying them on her back, and they did not affect her speed in the slightest.

As soon as she came out, Deng Yin secretly put the gold coins into her spatial storage. In order not to affect the sound or the size of the bundle, she stuffed in a lot of cypress metal pieces and cotton.

A sharp-eyed police officer spotted Deng Yin's back and saw such a large bundle... Could it be that it contained a person?

However, a person wouldn't make that sound.

Although Deng Yin ran very fast, she also made a lot of noise. The clinking of gold coins constantly guided the patrol officers behind her.

Deng Yin ran for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, estimating that the people behind her had been left behind. She put her bundle into her spatial storage, and then stepped onto the chess ox and jumped into someone else's yard.

The police officers suddenly lost their bearings. They searched the surrounding area carefully but found no one, so they had to give up the search.

Everyone was covered in sweat after the run. Several police officers sat on the side of the street, panting heavily, discussing the people who had just escaped.

"That person was carrying a huge sack, could it be a corpse?"

"No, didn't you hear the clattering sound? I think it's someone carrying a sack of money."

"Are you crazy for money? How could someone be out on the street in the middle of the night with a sack of money on their back? If you ask me, it's a sack of ironware. Things haven't been peaceful lately, so you need to have something to protect yourself."

The group didn't chat for long; once their sweat had mostly dried, they continued their patrol.

Deng Yin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that all the sounds outside had disappeared.

Before she could even finish catching her breath, she was slammed against the wall by someone's hand.

"who are you?"

Deng Yin made quite a commotion; the homeowner heard her as soon as she climbed over the wall.

The voice behind him carried an undisguised murderous intent. Deng Yin didn't pull out his stun gun, but instead said softly, "What, are you going to lock me up again now?"

Deng Yin recognized the voice behind him as Wei Wujiang's, so he didn't make a move first.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Wei Wujiang immediately released Deng Yin as if she had been ejected.

Deng Yin slowly turned around. Wei Wujiang stiffened and quickly apologized, "I'm...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to."

If it weren't for hearing that familiar voice, Wei Wujiang would never have guessed that this person was Deng Yin.

She had changed drastically; her face looked at least ten years older, covered in freckles, and her lips were a purplish-black, as if she were in an ice cellar. Her hair also had many gray strands, her wrinkles had deepened, and her once bright and expressive eyes had shrunk to less than half their original size.

"You... how did you become like this?"

Wei Wujiang suspected she was poisoned but didn't suspect she was in disguise.

"You've been poisoned? Come with me, I have an antidote."

Wei Wujiang didn't touch Deng Yin, but instead took two steps forward and turned back to signal her to follow.

“I’m not poisoned.” Deng Yin took a gold coin out of his pocket and handed it to Wei Wujiang. “This is a long story. May I stay here for a while? I’ll leave once I’m sure everyone outside has left.”

Wei Wujiang didn't answer; he hung his head, looking dejected.

Deng Yin frowned. Was he complaining that the money wasn't enough?

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Deng Yin took out another gold coin. "Two gold coins. I'll only stay here for an hour, is that alright?"

Wei Wujiang pushed the money back, saying, "Do we have to be so distant with each other?"

Strangers? Two gold coins, how can that be considered strangers?

If this is what you call being estranged, then Deng Yin would love for everyone to be estranged from her.
