Prosperity: Conquering Billions of Gambling Kings

Chapter 4 Cannibalism in Shanghai Bund

As a result, that night, Gu Huaian developed a high fever, and Gu Xiaobei tried everything he could but couldn't see his fever go down.

She wanted to ask Sister Hua and Uncle Hua next door for help, but when she saw the closed door, she realized that their father and daughter had all gone to work in the textile factory, and they hadn't come back here for several days after living in the textile factory.

The next morning, Gu Huai'an's fever was getting worse, and he even started talking nonsense.

"Xiao Bei, don't go."

"Xiao Bei... I need you..."

Gu Xiaobei tried his forehead, the temperature was frighteningly high.But she went through all the places in the house, and there was not a single copper plate to use.

The car had reached the front of the mountain, but she still couldn't find the way.

Gu Xiaobei kept changing cold towels for Gu Huai'an, but even so, Gu Huai'an's forehead and body were still sweating non-stop.

His body seemed to have turned into a big steamer, trying to cook people.

In the evening, Gu Xiaobei couldn't bear it anymore.

She can't sit at home anymore, if Gu Huaian's fever doesn't subside, it will kill her.

She had no money on hand, and the doctor refused to come after several invitations.

I can only go out and find a way by myself.

"Brother, you wait for me at home, I'll go out and find a way to raise money." After Gu Xiaobei changed him to a cold towel, he turned and left the house.

When the lights first came on, she had already arrived at Wenhua Road.

This is the most prosperous place in Shanghai, and she would pass this street every day to go to St. Paul's Academy of Painting.

Standing at the corner of the street, Gu Xiaobei stared at the long street obsessively.

The rent of any shop on Wenhua Road is enough for her to live with her brother for two or three years.

No wonder Mr. Wang said that Shanghai is like a man-eating devil. If one is not careful, his bones may be devoured.

In this ten-mile foreign market, some people call the wind and call the rain, and their lives are as gorgeous as a beautiful brocade; while some people are as humble as ants, and they can throw away their lives for a bite of food at any time.

When will this Shanghai change?

Taking a breath, Gu Xiaobei walked along Wenhua Road.

The shining neon lights reflected her delicate face in various colors, Gu Xiaobei raised her head to look.

Under the neon lights, the three characters "big world" hanging in mid-air are extraordinarily dazzling.

Grand World Casino, the largest casino in Shanghai.Big bucks are happening every day here...

The boss of Big World is also the king of gambling in Shanghai—the fourth master of the Rong family, Rong Chen.

It is said that if you want to gamble with Fourth Master Rong in the big world, the starting chips are [-] yuan.

Ordinary small bets, you can't even see his face.

He is the boss of the big world and the helm of the Rong family.The wharf on the other side of Guangfu Road, nine out of ten belong to Rong's family.No wonder Mr. Wang said that Rong Chen is an invisible capitalist in Shanghai, and the Rong family's financial strength is at least equal to three Chinese chambers of commerce.

Breathing steadily, Gu Xiaobei walked towards the big world.

There were four guards in black guarding the door, but they didn't stop her, and Gu Xiaobei entered the big world smoothly.

The hall on the first floor was full of people, shouting, excited or frustrated voices everywhere.

On the gambling table, there are colorful chips.

Gu Xiaobei glanced at it, her heart was beating very hard.

Anything casual about these people can make her and her brother have a good life.

But Shanghai is a world where people cannibalize people. If you don't have enough to eat, it has nothing to do with others.
