Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 693 The wait is finally here

Xiao Jiang shook his head honestly: "No, I wasn't injured at all this time. If I had been injured, I would definitely have gone back to the clinic. By the way, why didn't you go to the clinic?"

"The clinic has closed down, and we don't know how long it will stay closed."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang paused, his hand still holding the coffee cup.

"How could this happen? Did something go wrong? It's all my fault for being away all this time!"

"It's alright, even if you were here, it wouldn't solve anything. Someone is targeting us, but I've almost found a solution, I just need your help."

Xiao Jiang nodded: "Go ahead and tell me what you need help with. I'll definitely help if I can!"

"You're always out in the world, is there any way you can temporarily change my appearance?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang became somewhat curious.

"What are you trying to achieve by changing your appearance?"

"It's a long story. First, tell me if there's such a method."

Xiao Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but it won't last long, maybe only a day at most!"

"That's enough. I thought it would only last a few hours at most. Could you find one for me so I can use it?"

Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "It's very simple. I have one at home, and I've used it before. If you think it doesn't look realistic enough, just wear a mask and you definitely won't be able to tell."

As long as this can be used, Wang Yang's plan can be implemented.

"Boss Wang, tell me what exactly happened?"

"Here's the thing, I offended someone before, and now he's getting revenge on me. He had Xiaoyang add something else to the medicine we prescribe for our customers, and there have already been two incidents, but they've both been dealt with."

Xiao Jiang was a little puzzled when he heard Xiao Yang's name.

"What do you mean? Who sent Xiao Yang?"

"No, they must have found him later. But you probably didn't know about Xiao Yang's gambling, did you?"

Xiao Jiang was even more surprised: "How could he gamble? He seems like such a well-behaved kid, it's impossible!"

“When I first found out, I also thought it was impossible. Those people took advantage of this, so I thought I could use this method to get Xiaoyang to testify against them.”

"I see. You want to change your appearance, gamble with Xiaoyang, win against him, and then use that to blackmail him?"

Xiao Jiang hesitated: "But you don't know how to gamble! And there are so many different kinds of gambling now, you have no idea what methods they use. It seems that recently dice games have become popular, which is the kind of game played in ancient times."

"Don't worry about that, I'll have a plan. I just need you to change my appearance, and it would be best if you could come with me."

The main problem is that Wang Yang has never tried this method before, so if there is a need to remedy the situation, Xiao Jiang will have to step in.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

"Also, you should follow Xiao Yang recently and see which casino he frequents. Only after we confirm the location can we go there together."

Xiao Jiang nodded and replied, "I understand. I'll follow him later. He hasn't been to work lately, so he's probably been going to the casino even more often."

As he said this, Xiao Jiang sighed. He never expected that someone like Xiao Yang would gamble and become someone else's mole.

"If I had stayed at the clinic all this time, I would have definitely noticed his abnormality and wouldn't have let him act so recklessly. Have you found out who's behind this? Should I go and deal with it?"

Wang Yang shook his head: "No need. The other party is a very powerful boss, and there's no way to deal with him directly. Only by obtaining solid evidence can we possibly ruin his reputation."

After Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang parted ways, Xiao Jiang went downstairs to where Xiao Yang lived.

He kept watch until 8 p.m. and saw Xiao Yang dressed in all black leave the house, get into a car, and head to a very secluded place.

Xiao Jiang, who often roams the streets, could immediately tell that this place was either a casino or a place where other illegal transactions were taking place.

He followed Xiao Yang inside and saw that it was indeed a fairly large casino, where dice games were currently popular.

This place is just like the casinos of old, where a middleman rolls the dice and you guess whether it's big or small.

Xiao Jiang observed from the doorway for a long time and noticed that Xiao Yang started losing money as soon as he went in. He only won once and lost the rest of the time. He estimated that Xiao Yang had lost nearly 100,000 yuan in just 40 minutes, from 8:00 pm to 8:40 pm.

After Xiao Yang left, Xiao Jiang immediately called Wang Yang.

“I have found the place where Xiaoyang usually gambles. He lost 10 yuan in just 40 minutes. I really don’t know how much money the people behind him gave him.”

Hearing this number, Wang Yang was still somewhat surprised. The more money he lost, the more things the person behind him was making him do, and the harder it was for Xiao Yang to break free from that person's control.

"By the way, did you see Xiaoyang's father? Or did he go alone?"

Xiao Jiang was even more surprised: "No, he went alone, and doesn't he live alone? His father gambles too?"

"Yes, but his father is in another place. I was just asking. Alright, it's getting late. You should come back soon. We'll go tomorrow night."

The next evening, Wang Yang went to Xiao Jiang's house first. Xiao Jiang dressed him up and made him wear a mask. Anyway, many people in the casino wear masks to avoid revealing their true identities.

"Wang Yang, how much money do you think we should bring to gamble tonight? I saw that Xiao Yang lost 10 yuan in less than an hour last night, that's outrageous!"

Although Xiao Jiang was involved in organized crime, he didn't frequent casinos much, and he never expected the amount of money he won or lost to be so huge.

"We only need to bring 1 yuan as capital tonight."

"You're too confident! There are a lot of experts and con artists in there, you know? They specialize in scamming newbies. Besides, they'll definitely be able to tell we're newbies as soon as we go in."

Wang Yang shook his head: "The reason masks are allowed here is because many people don't want others to know they're newbies; they won't notice. Also, don't worry, this 1 yuan is definitely enough. If we really lose it all, we'll leave."

But weren't they going to win Xiaoyang's money tonight? If they just left after losing, how would they complete their mission? However, Xiaojiang didn't ask any more questions.

The two drove to the casino. They had to arrive early; there were several gambling tables inside, and they needed to create a lively atmosphere to attract Xiao Yang.

"Hello, may we select a main gaming table?"

The waiter glanced at the two of them, then nodded: "Okay, come this way with me!"

The waiter led them directly to the center of the table. As soon as they arrived, the others dispersed. Wang Yang immediately recognized that these people were clearly there to create an atmosphere, and were definitely from the casino.

"How much are you betting?"

What is the highest standard you have here?

The waiter smiled and said, "We don't have a concept of a highest standard corresponding to a lowest standard here. You can bet as much as you want, but the minimum is 5000 yuan per round."

Upon hearing that the bet was 5000 yuan, Xiao Jiang couldn't contain himself any longer. They had only brought 1 yuan with them this time, and if they lost, they would be penniless. "Alright, let's bet 5000 yuan!"

The waiter nodded slightly. Judging from their attire, he felt they weren't regular gamblers. Furthermore, their choice of only the minimum bet of 5000 yuan likely meant they were just there for fun.

Wang Yang and his group stood there for a while, waiting for about a few minutes, when the waiter brought over some other guests and invited them to join in.

"The most popular way to play here right now is by rolling dice, but if you want to switch to another game, we can adjust it accordingly."

This question was clearly directed at Wang Yang, since he was the main protagonist in this bet.

Let's play this one!

Xiao Jiang gently tugged at his sleeve: "How about we try a different game? I'm more confident with other games, I've watched tutorial videos online. But this dice game is so old-fashioned, I don't know anything about it."

"Don't worry, you don't need to be afraid. Your main task tonight is to keep an eye on Xiaoyang and make sure to attract his attention. Don't keep focusing on these games."

Xiao Jiang nodded: "I understand, I'll be careful. He hasn't arrived yet!"

"Okay, it's 5000 yuan per round. The game is very simple, and everyone should have played it before. Just choose big or small."

"You can choose to roll the dice yourself or use a machine. If you don't specify anyone, we'll use the machine in the store; it's absolutely fair and just!"

Wang Yang nodded, indicating that he had no objection, and the others opposite him also nodded in agreement.

No one wanted to roll the dice, since they were all regulars at the shop and knew they wouldn't cheat.

"Alright, let's start the first round!"

When the dice were covered, Wang Yang closed his eyes. The machine started running, and he could hear the dice spinning inside.

Everyone else was listening intently, but this wasn't like in the TV dramas; being able to actually hear it was purely a matter of luck.

After the dice stopped spinning, Xiao Jiang eagerly asked him, "Did you figure it out? Should we choose big or small?"

"Choose the smaller one."

As soon as it ended, several people started placing bets, with the vast majority choosing "big" because it was their first round. Generally, people choose "big" in the first round for good luck.

Wang Yang and a few others placed their bets on small. Xiao Jiang wanted to remind him, but he opened his mouth and then didn't say anything, afraid that Wang Yang would scold him.

"Anyone else want to place a bet?"

The waiter looked around for about ten seconds and, seeing that everyone had already placed their bets, began to lift the lid.

Upon opening it, I found it was small.

Upon seeing the smaller one, Xiao Jiang turned back to look at Wang Yang in surprise, unsure whether Wang Yang had genuinely recognized the voice or was merely guessing.

"It really is small, how did you know?"

"I was just guessing."

Nobody took this game seriously, since it was only the first game and their true strength hadn't been revealed yet.

In this one game, Wang Yang won tens of thousands of yuan, but he knew very well that his purpose in coming tonight was not to win money, but to keep an eye on Xiao Yang.

He knew that Xiao Yang didn't have much money on him right now, so he definitely wouldn't choose a high bet; the lowest bet of 5000 yuan was his best choice.

After two more rounds, Wang Yang still won, and Xiao Jiang realized that Wang Yang might actually be a gambler.

"Stop staring at me and the table. You need to see if Xiao Yang is here yet," Wang Yang couldn't help but remind him.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Jiang muttered, "He's here, he's here! I see him!"

Wang Yang looked closely and saw that Xiao Yang, dressed in all black, had walked in and was looking around, probably searching for a gambling table. At that moment, a waiter went over and spoke to him for a few minutes.

As Wang Yang expected, the waiter then led him to his own gambling table.

He glanced at Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang after he came over, but it was obvious that he did not recognize them.

"What if Xiaoyang has exceptionally good luck with his hands?"

"Impossible. Even if he gets lucky, I won't let him win. This time I'm going to make him lose miserably. All you need to do is cooperate with me."

Xiao Jiang nodded obediently, knowing that Wang Yang would definitely have a solution.

Wang Yang noticed that Xiao Yang rolled the dice entirely by feel, which is probably how most people do. In the first round, he bet on the Joker, and Wang Yang clearly heard that it was definitely a high number.

He chuckled softly. It seemed this kid really didn't use any techniques, relying entirely on intuition.

Xiao Yang lost the first game, but it was obvious that he didn't take it to heart at all.

It seems that losing a few rounds at the gambling table is commonplace for Xiao Yang. In the second round, Wang Yang heard that the dice were big. Xiao Yang glanced at the person next to him and saw that the person had bet on big and won the previous round, so he also bet on big and actually won.

What he didn't know was that the other person had been losing non-stop before winning this round. If Xiao Yang had kept betting with him, he would definitely have lost too.

Xiao Yang lost the next two rounds, but fortunately the bet was only 5000 yuan per round, and he should have brought tens of thousands of yuan with him today.

After five or six rounds, Wang Yang finally caught Xiao Yang's attention because Xiao Yang noticed that the person opposite him seemed to be winning all the time and had never lost.

At this point, Wang Yang realized that he should lose a game, otherwise his plan would not be completed and others would think something was wrong with him.

So, in the next round, coincidentally, Xiao Yang followed his bet, while Wang Yang deliberately bet the wrong one. As a result, Xiao Yang lost again, and Wang Yang also lost, but this only happened once.

The initial bet was set at 5000 yuan, but it would double after half an hour, and then increase every half hour thereafter. After half an hour, the bet had risen to 1 yuan.

If anyone feels the stakes are too high, they can move to another table, but Wang Yang will not let Xiao Yang leave.

Several people nearby had already lost tens of thousands of yuan and were planning to leave. Seeing this, Xiao Yang also prepared to leave, glancing at Wang Yang before he did.

At this moment, Wang Yang suddenly spoke up: "Young man, are you a sore loser? You're the last one to arrive, why are you leaving so soon?"

Young and hot-blooded Xiao Yang was somewhat unconvinced upon hearing this.

"I was just planning to check out the next table, I'm not really leaving, I'll come back later!"

This was exactly what Wang Yang wanted. He was going to gamble with Xiao Yang until dawn and make him lose everything.

"Fine, I won't force you. You've never won anyway. Let's go to another table, so that all the money you brought tonight doesn't end up in my pocket."
