After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

"Severance".

Xiao Ran stood up, turned around and instructed, "Take this brother to the clinic."

Duan Li nodded, preparing to help Gongsun Luo up, but Xiao Ran suddenly stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

He nodded after hearing this, and then led Gongsun Luo away from the alley.

Nangong Ming scratched his head and asked, "So where are we going?"

Xiao Ran looked at him like he was an idiot. "What do you think?"

"Is it inappropriate for just the two of us?"

He had actually guessed that Xiao Ran was going to the gambling den next, after all, he had just boasted to Gongsun Luo that he would go find his father, but...

It would have been better to take Duan away! That's a gambling den; who knows if they might break their promises, commit murder, or arson!

He swallowed hard, then hesitated, "Should we... wait for Young Master Duan?"

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Ran turned and left, leaving behind the words:

"You are clearly a better fit than him."

"Besides, he has more important things to do."

Although... although he felt a secret joy when Xiao Ran said he was more suitable, and he also understood that taking care of the injured was indeed more important, for some reason, a sense of panic arose in his heart...

It was as if some danger was about to be encountered.

……

It wasn't until a burly man suddenly picked up an axe and sliced ​​off a corner of the wooden table in front of him as easily as cutting tofu that he realized where his panic came from.

"No money? What are you doing at the gambling den if you have no money? Are you kidding me?!"

Xiao Ran, dressed as a man, had a dark expression on her face as she looked at Nangong Ming, who was sweating profusely.

She never expected, she really never expected, that Nangong Ming would give all the money he had to Gongsun Luo.

She had just been thinking that with Nangong Ming's rich-bred appearance, he would definitely be treated as a fat sheep to be slaughtered when he entered the gambling den, and finding Gongsun Bo would not be difficult at that time.

But no matter how much she planned, she never expected that this silly boy wouldn't leave her a single penny!

Seeing that the two men had not answered, the burly man mocked them:

"Alright! Since none of you have any money, we'll have to find another way to play."

Nangong Ming trembled and slowly uttered two words.

"what?"

"If we're going to play, then we need to wager. Since you have nothing, then use your fingers."

Having said that, he sized up the two of them, stroked his chin for a moment, and smiled knowingly:

"Judging from your attire, you two aren't short of money... How about this, one hundred taels of silver for each finger, are you willing to take the risk?"

"...Can I refuse?" Nangong Ming asked.

The burly man glanced at him. "Of course."

Nangong Ming breathed a sigh of relief and held Xiao Ran's hand tightly. She could sense that Nangong Ming was very nervous at this moment, although he did not show it on his face.

"Then we'll be going now... No, no need to see us off."

But as soon as they took a step, they heard the big man whistle, and several big men instantly surrounded them.

"Gentlemen, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I see this is your first time here, and you may not know the rules of our Linglong Gambling House, right?"

He toyed with the axe in his hand and said, "Our Linglong Gambling House is a century-old brand. Even if you want to come in, you have to pay an entry fee. If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone."

After scanning the surroundings, the young and old present all shouted "Yes, that's right!" with a hint of disdain in their tone.

"Since you two wish to leave, that's not impossible. But what about the entrance fee..."

He approached with an axe in his hand. Nangong Ming tried to pull Xiao Ran back, but they were already surrounded by burly men and had nowhere to retreat.

The burly man continued to approach and raised his axe.

"Then let's use your finger instead."
