Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

He can't even turn over now, and can only continue to lie on the ground like a dog.

I don't know how long it took before I was finally able to turn over with difficulty and lie on the ground panting heavily.

It was completely dark all around, and there wasn't a sound.

Unbeknownst to him, Tang Jincheng always felt as if someone was watching him in the dark.

He struggled to open his eyes and looked around, but he couldn't see anything.

Soon, the sound of footsteps seemed to echo around them.

His heart leaped into his throat, fearing that those thugs would break in and beat him up; his heart was practically jumping out of his throat.

However, after waiting for a few minutes, the footsteps kept circling around him but didn't get any closer, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later, I realized I was going crazy and didn't want to stay in the dark for even a second longer.

He got up and kept banging on the door, shouting, "Let me out! Let me out!"

There was not a sound around him, and Tang Jincheng felt as if he had been forgotten by the whole world.

Tang Jincheng spent the entire night in this state of emotional collapse.

The next morning, a thug opened the door and yelled at him, "Get out here!"

In the past, he would have already started cursing.

But now he doesn't care about cursing; he just wants to leave this suffocating place forever.

He crawled out of the room on all fours, limping behind the thugs as they headed towards the casino.

When he arrived at the casino, he found it was already closed.

The thug who led the beating on him yesterday, along with a few others, are sitting on the sofa smoking.

Seeing him approach, the thug threw a vegetarian bun on the ground.

A flash of resentment crossed Tang Jincheng's eyes, but he didn't dare to utter a sound. Instead, he smiled obsequiously and said, "Brother, what brings you here?"

The thug stared at him coldly, saying nothing, and the two remained locked in a stalemate.

It was an unknown amount of time before Tang Jincheng understood what the hoodlum meant.

He reluctantly picked up the bun, but he just couldn't bring himself to eat it.

The thug, whose patience was running out, coughed.

Tang Jincheng was so startled that he almost dropped the steamed bun he had just picked up.

He gave a dry laugh and said with difficulty, "I'm not hungry right now."

The thug nodded, kicked the bun in his hand to the ground, and said calmly, "Let's get down to business."

Tang Jincheng immediately straightened his back, and then heard the thug say, "You owe our casino so much money, you should have been stuffed into a sack and thrown into the river."

"But our boss is taking pity on you and is going to spare your life. You can continue working here, and you can leave when he's satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jincheng felt a heavy weight in his heart.

Although he already knew he would have to stay here to work, he was still extremely resistant to the news and didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.

Now that he was under someone else's thumb, he had no choice but to bow his head. He could only lower his head and say helplessly, "Okay, I will definitely work hard and try to pay off the debt as soon as possible."

The thug nodded after hearing this and said to the waiter next to him, "He doesn't like the food here. Let him go hungry for three days first."

Tang Jincheng opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the thug had already left with his men, leaving very decisively and without hesitation.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and sweep the floor, sweep the whole casino, and put the trash in those two bins. Someone will throw it away in a bit."

At this moment, the thug who had brought him here urged him on.

Tang Jincheng was still in a daze when he was already assigned a bunch of tasks.

Moreover, he was the only one who cleaned the entire casino, which spanned over 400 square meters.

Tang Jincheng took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, before steeling himself to start cleaning.

The thugs gradually went back inside to sleep, leaving only a few people chatting and playing cards in the huge casino.

It took Tang Jincheng more than two hours to finally clean up the casino.

He collapsed to the ground, exhausted, his mouth dry, and starving. He desperately wanted to eat something.

He only found some tea, which was leftovers from last night's guests, and he couldn't find any food.

The thug next to Tang Jincheng seemed to have seen through his thoughts and immediately mocked, "Brother Yu personally bought you steamed buns, and you don't like them? What are you looking for now?"

Tang Jiecheng cursed these people in his heart, but on the surface he still had to be polite.

"I wasn't hungry before, but I'm starving now. Could you please give me something to eat?"

The thug immediately waved his hand: "Of course not, Brother Yu is in charge here, everyone has to listen to him."

“He said you have to go hungry for three days, so you have to go hungry for three days. Nobody will give you anything to eat unless you don’t want to work here anymore.”

Tang Jincheng was so angry he could barely contain himself, but he had no choice but to endure it.

He knew that begging for food from these people would only bring him humiliation, and he would have to go and beg that Brother Yu.

A few thugs stared at her with half-smiles, but they understood what he was thinking.

Nobody paid him any attention; they just continued playing cards, eating, and drinking.

Time flew by and it was time for the evening opening.

Tang Jincheng huddled in a corner, watching others gamble, feeling a strong urge to join in.

But he only has 1000 yuan left. If his luck is as bad as it was last night, he won't even be able to keep that 1000 yuan.

He had originally planned to eat something that evening, but unexpectedly, as soon as he had this thought, Brother Yu suddenly appeared beside him.

Brother Yu grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him into the small dark room, then closed the door again.

"Let me out! I don't want to stay here by myself!"

Tang Jincheng was quite frightened. He excitedly banged on the door, but Brother Yu completely ignored him.

After locking the door, I immediately went to the front to greet the guests.

Tang Jincheng collapsed to the ground, cursing furiously in the darkness.

But Brother Yu was a casino owner, so after calming down, he simply went to sleep to avoid being unable to extricate himself from his fear.

He lay on the ground, forcing himself to sleep, but at first, different thoughts kept popping into his head, and he couldn't calm down at all.

But he soon felt sleepy; he was just too tired.

I worked for a whole day and night without rest, and I still did a lot of work.

He didn't realize he was still in the casino until he woke up hungry in the morning.

One of the men opened the door and shouted to Tang Jincheng, "Come out and clean up."

Tang Jincheng struggled to his feet and silently followed behind the waiter. He still clearly remembered the beating he received the day before yesterday; that guy was particularly ruthless.

He didn't dare to argue with the man and followed behind him dejectedly.

When he arrived at the casino, he found that Brother Yu wasn't there at all, and he quickly asked, "Where's Brother Yu?"

The worker yawned, waved his hand, and said, "It's none of your business. Get back to work. You guys keep an eye on him and don't let him slack off."

The other guys immediately responded; they were the ones who did the cleaning before Tang Jincheng arrived.

Of course, they had to keep a close eye on Tang Jincheng to prevent him from running away.
