Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!
Chapter 63: Nine Gambling Dens
Outside the Zhenye Sigongguan, Jiang Shou and Long Aotian walked together like good buddies, their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Lin Boguang would sign for me just to retrieve one item?"
"It's as simple as retrieving something," Jiang Shou said confidently.
"Chief Inspector Jiang, do you think I'm a fool?" Long Aotian smiled calmly. "As Lin Baixun's right-hand man, I think you should be very clear about what happened between me and Lin Baixun."
“If all you’re asking for is something ordinary, why don’t you go?” Long Aotian said directly. “Besides, if it’s really just something ordinary, making me sign off on that condition is too easy.”
"This..." Jiang Shou stammered after hearing Long Aotian's words.
“Since we are cooperating, you should tell me some things,” Long Aotian said. “Otherwise, I will not agree to any of your requests. If Lin Baixun is unwilling to sign for me, then I will honestly write to Dong Daren. Anyway, he has only temporarily left Qianzhou and has not gone too far.” After saying this, Long Aotian prepared to turn around and take his leave.
Seeing this, Jiang Shou quickly pulled him back, "Alright, alright, Lord Shen."
Jiang Shou pulled Long Aotian back, looked around, and then lowered his voice, saying, "Regarding this matter, I can only tell you that it has to be you. Because in Qianzhou City, who dares to offend you now? You have Lord Dong backing you up!"
"Oh, so that's why the other party isn't afraid of Lin Baixun in Qianzhou City, but is afraid of me, this cowardly Shen?" Long Aotian pointed to his own nose and mocked himself.
"Just give me a straight answer: are you going to do this or not?" Jiang Shou had already said all that, but seeing that Long Aotian still didn't give a straight answer, he decided to push him a little.
“Alright, since Chief Inspector Jiang has said so,” Long Aotian readily agreed, “then who else but me can handle this?”
The reason Long Aotian agreed to this was twofold: firstly, he genuinely needed Lin Boguang's signature; secondly, he wanted to see what Lin Boguang was really up to.
"Alright, alright, let's go then!" Jiang Shou looked impatient as he saw Long Aotian agree.
"Chief Inspector Jiang, is this really that urgent?" Long Aotian was dragged out by Jiang Shou.
"Oh, Lord Shen, think about it," Jiang Shou said, feigning concern. "If we bring the things back sooner, won't Lin Baixun sign it sooner? And won't you get the money sooner?"
Hearing this, Long Aotian stopped complaining and followed him out of the Zhenye Division's gate, heading towards the Nine Gambling Houses in the West Market.
However, Long Aotian wouldn't believe them so easily.
Although he solved the theft case, his reputation in Qianzhou City greatly increased.
And there are indeed rumors that he and Dong Fuguang have a very good personal relationship.
But if what this old fox said is true, then when I brought up Dong Fuguang, Lin Boguang should have already given in. Why would he make such a request to me?
So on the way to the West Market gambling den, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said that he had important things to do, and then said that he would go to get the things tomorrow.
"Hey, hey, hey." Seeing that they were almost there, Jiang Shou hurriedly grabbed Long Aotian and said, "Lord Shen, we're almost there. Can't we postpone anything a little longer? Don't you want the money?"
"I want it, but this matter can't be delayed. Tomorrow, tomorrow, at the same time, I'll be waiting for you at the Town Night Division." After saying that, Long Aotian didn't give Jiang Shou a chance to refute him and turned to run away.
Jiang Shou watched Long Aotian run away and immediately froze on the spot. Then he took two more steps forward, preparing to walk towards the gambling den.
But halfway there, he suddenly stopped and looked back. After looking for a long time and thinking it over, he decided to turn back.
However, this time he only took a couple of steps before stopping again, shaking his head, and turning back to walk towards the gambling den behind him.
What he didn't expect was that Long Aotian had gone around in circles, hiding in the shadows and observing his reaction.
Seeing that he was about to leave, he was about to chase after him when suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder from behind, startling him so much that his body trembled and his sphincter tightened!
"Lord Shen, what are you doing here, sneaking around like this?" Luo Hongyan's voice came from behind.
"Chief Inspector Luo, you've come at the perfect time!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm still handling official business..."
When Long Aotian saw Luo Hongyan, it was like seeing a savior. He quickly grabbed her and followed behind Jiang Shou.
The two followed each other until they reached the entrance of the gambling den. The gambling den was closed even in broad daylight. Jiang went to the door and knocked. A short while later, a deep voice came from inside.
"signal."
"..."
After Jiang Shou finished answering, the gambling den door opened and he was let in.
"Lord Shen, isn't that your colleague, Chief Inspector Jiang?" Luo Hongyan asked curiously, following Long Aotian to a corner outside the gambling den. "Why are you following him?"
“This…” Long Aotian was somewhat speechless, “It’s a long story.”
He looked at Luo Hongyan and asked, "Do you know the code they just used?"
Luo Hongyan crossed her arms over her chest, holding her sword, and looked at Long Aotian with disdain, saying, "Lord Shen, you must be joking. What would a woman like me do at a gambling den?"
“This…” Long Aotian was speechless.
“However, I have investigated some gambling den cases before, so I do know some of these codes.” Seeing that Long Aotian was really anxious, Luo Hongyan said, “But every gambling den has a different code, and some even change their codes every few days, so I really don’t know what the code is here.”
"Can you help me get up there?" But he immediately looked up and looked up at the sky.
"This is easy!" Luo Hongyan grinned, then grabbed Long Aotian by the collar and landed him on the roof of the gambling house.
The gambling den in front of us is quite large, with three floors in total.
The first and second floors have several gambling tables. The third floor has some private rooms.
Are you sure about tomorrow?
"Of course, I'm sure."
In a private room on the third floor, Long Aotian found Jiang Shou.
He carefully removed a few tiles, then turned to the side and listened intently.
"Okay, that's good." The man who was talking to Jiang Shou said, "I'll pay you the rest of the money after it's all done!"
"But if you dare to play me, I'll make sure you're beheaded, understand?" The man's voice was very rough, and he seemed to be negotiating some kind of deal with Jiang Shou.
"Of course, of course," Jiang Shou smiled slightly and said, "We are all very trustworthy. Otherwise, if we wanted to harm you at a time like this, would you still be here?"
