Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Guo Miao wanted to follow, but the other party wasn't stupid; they left two blond-haired men to watch over him.

The two were still sitting on their old bicycles, and now Guo Miao was even more unable to leave.

The arcade owner looked up from his newspaper, glanced at Chen Dong who was being ushered to the side door, sneered, and then lowered his head to continue reading the newspaper.

Clearly, he'd seen this kind of thing many times before and didn't care much.

The big man opened the small door, and Chen Dong was pushed inside.

Inside the small door, there was indeed a hidden world.

The room, about 30 or 40 square meters, was filled with seven or eight tables and noisy, crowded people.

Inside, the air was thick with smoke, and various shouts, curses, and women's screams filled the air.

Several dim electric lights hung on the wall, with a swaying tungsten filament lamp suspended in the middle.

The light was dim, but enough to make out the gamblers' twisted and ferocious faces.

They squatted or stood around the stalls, their eyes bloodshot, placing bets frantically.

This was the most popular small casino in the early 1990s.

There's no gambling on dice, or Pai Gow, or Texas Hold'em here.

In Nanjiang County, playing cards and mahjong is popular.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Dong finally found Qin Min at a gambling den.

At this moment, Qin Min seemed to be possessed, his hair disheveled, muttering incantations.

"Damn it, how could we lose?"

"Even three preserved eggs can run into three packs of cigarettes!"

"They're definitely cheating!"

"Ganni's mother, who are you saying is cheating!"

"Keep your mouth clean!"

"Alright, alright, a bet's a bet."

"Next game, we'll win it back in the next game!"

Qin Min was completely unaware that Chen Dong was behind him.

Chen Dong saw a stack of hundred-yuan bills and a pile of loose banknotes in front of him.

Looks like they won quite a bit.

Chen Dong patted Qin Min on the shoulder: "Hey..."

"Don't touch me!"

Qin Min thought it was other gamblers causing trouble, and shouted angrily.

"Can't you see I'm busy? What are you filming me for!"

Chen Dong continued filming with a mocking expression.

"Don't move! This time the door will definitely open!"

Qin Min stared intently at the cards in his hand, completely ignoring the person who patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey!" Chen Dong continued filming.

Qin Min opened his hand and lost again.

A pat on the shoulder brings bad luck; a bad hand means losing money.

What gambler can stand someone patting them on the shoulder!

Qin Min suddenly stood up, turned around and shouted: "You're looking for..."

Before Qin Min could even utter the word "death," he saw Chen Dong looking at him with a half-smile.

Qin Min suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost tripped over the chair leg.

"Dong, Dongzi?!"

"You, why are you here?"

Qin Min forced a few awkward smiles onto his face.

"I was just passing by with a friend and we thought we'd come in and play some games," Chen Dong said with a slight smile. "We were out of money, and since I saw you come in, I thought I'd ask you for some money to buy in-game currency."

Qin Min wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He ran his fingers through his hair, frantically stroking it back, trying to understand his current situation.

My father and wife knew nothing about the gambling.

If Chen Dong goes back and says that, I'm definitely doomed!

Why am I so unlucky to run into this jinx!

We can't let him tell anyone. We have to keep him calm no matter what!

Thinking of this, Qin Min picked up the money on the table.

"Come on, Dongzi, let's go out and have a good drink!"

"Old Qin, you're leaving now that you've won some money?"

Someone at the gambling table quit.

"Keep going!"

Qin Min didn't care about them anymore and pulled Chen Dong away.

However, at this moment, he noticed the two blond-haired men who were sticking close to Chen Dong.

He knew one of them.

"A monkey?" Qin Min looked him up and down in confusion. "You know him?"

The yellow-haired monkey was also taken aback when it saw that it was Qin Min.

The other party frequently gambles here and knows his boss, Tiger.

"Is this your brother-in-law?" Huang Mao asked, pointing at Chen Dong.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Qin Min noticed something was wrong with Huang Mao's hands.

The monkey chuckled, took his hand off Chen Dong's lower back, and put away his knife.

"It's nothing. Since he's your relative, he's like family."

"gone!"

Huang Mao patted Chen Dong on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Chen Dong felt a surge of joy.

I didn't expect my brother-in-law to know some people in this area.

Qin Min didn't ask any more questions and quickly led Chen Dong away from this troublesome place.

When he went outside and saw Guo Miao, he didn't say anything.

We found a restaurant nearby to eat at.

Guo Miao made an excuse to leave first, and Chen Dong didn't try to stop him.

Chen Dong ate with great relish.

Although it's not some rare delicacy, it's definitely a local product.

Pheasants and wild boars, wild delicacies exclusive to the 1990s, made Chen Dong exclaim with great satisfaction.

Pair it with some strong baijiu (Chinese liquor), and it's incredibly refreshing!

Qin Min saw that his brother-in-law was drinking so skillfully, just like a seasoned veteran of many banquets.

After a few drinks, Qin Min began to pour out his troubles to Chen Dong.

"Dongzi, you have no idea how hard my life has been."

"At work, the deputy section chief may seem to be respected by everyone, but in reality, the leaders are all inhuman."

“They create social classes and exploit people. In order to survive, I have to cater to them.”

"It's making it so that I... I can't save any money at all!"

"I was forced into a corner today, which is why I went to that lousy place."

"Dongzi, don't tell your sister about this when you get back."

"You're so young, don't go to those kinds of places anymore."

"They're notorious thugs in the area; they'll do anything!"

"You've offended them, this is going to be a big problem!"

"If I run into you today, that's fine, but what if I don't?"

"The consequences would be unimaginable!"

As Qin Min spoke, his eyes became moist.

Seeing that Chen Dong didn't speak, he assumed that Chen Dong had taken his words to heart.

"Dongzi, you're the only male in our family."

"You can't get hurt, otherwise how am I supposed to explain it to your sister and Dad?"

"Okay, if you ever run out of pocket money, come to me, but whatever you do, don't go to places like this again."

Chen Dong picked up a toothpick, picked his teeth, and chuckled.

"Brother-in-law is having a lucky day."

"You've won close to a thousand, haven't you?"

"You borrowed money from my dad yesterday, were you planning to gamble it away?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Min immediately sat up straight.

"No, no way!"

"Definitely not, no, no! It's for buying a house!"

"When did you start gambling?" Chen Dong stared intently at Qin Min.

Qin Min answered obediently, like a grandson being interrogated.

"Yes, it's been two months..."

"How much is owed?"

"what……?"

Qin Min looked up at his brother-in-law, who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The sharpness in his eyes and the imposing aura emanating from within were unlike anything he had ever seen before.

He only exudes this aura when he's facing the bureau chief!

He lacked any confidence, but still changed the subject.

"Say!"

Chen Dong finished his drink and slammed the glass down on the table.

His eyes were like torches, fixed intently on Qin Min.

Qin Min trembled with fright.

For a moment, he really thought he was sitting in front of some kind of tiger, leopard, or gangster!
