Chapter 59: 59
Black Sundar Bar was a well-known money-squandering bar . Just by looking at the bar’s exterior, one would not know there were other ongoing vice activities inside, including prostitution, gambling, and drugs . One must have insider connections to be able to access them . This was no longer a secret in the Capital city . However, people refrained from talking about it, largely due to its mysterious background .
A car stopped over at the basement level four carpark of Black Sunday . As the door opened, Gu Junlin got out of the car from the driver’s seat . He went over to the passenger seat and opened the door for Wen Xinya . “We have arrived,” he said .
“Thank you!” Wen Xinya said with a smile and got out of the car .
The Gu Family was an affluent family within the Capital city . It was said that the family had good connections with the National Security Department . Therefore, they were well respected by both the government and underworld figures . Gu Junlin had rendered a tremendous help to Wen Xinya for her plans this time .
Wen Xinya had realized the importance of being well connected in society . Connections to the right people would be the deciding factor for her victory .
Gu Junlin brought Wen Xinya into the Black Sunday through another entrance, leading them directly to a secret Surveillance Room in the bar .
Xu Zhenyu and Han Mofeng were sitting in the room watching the surveillance screen .
Wen Xinya passed the desserts made by Mother He over to them . “The desserts made by Mother He are the best . This is the reward for your hard work . ”
Xu Zhenyu always liked desserts . Looking at the desserts, his eyes gleamed . “Xinya, you know me best . ”
Having known him for two lifetimes, how could Wen Xinya not know what he liked . She turned over and looked at Han Mofeng . “What is the situation?” she asked .
Han Mofeng signaled her to look at the surveillance screen . He said, “We are near to deployment . Under our setup, he borrowed some money from the illegal money-lenders yesterday and seems like he’s going to lose it all again . ”
Wen Xinya looked at the screen . It showed a wretched man around his 40s . This was the Chief Editor of Heavenbright Press Media—Yang Chongguang .
From the information Si Yiyan provided her, it showed that Yang Chongguang was an addictive gambler . So she discussed with Xu Zhenyu and together they set up this trap . Xu Zhenyu was very well-connected and very quickly was able to lure Yang Chongguang into the trap by getting him to gamble at the Black Sunday through his connections .
The Gu Family also had connections to the owners of the Black Sunday . Therefore, Gu Junlin was able to help them arrange this setup . For the first two days, Yang Chongguang was on a lucky strike and won almost ten million dollars . It was a common characteristic in gamblers—winning was never enough for them and they would want more . Moreover, Xu-er had arranged someone to instigate him to return for more . Therefore, Yang Chongguang got addicted very quickly . From the third day onwards, he started getting unlucky but his losses were minimal . On the fourth day, he had lost it all .
Yang Chongguang had lost a huge some of his own money, plus the original amount he had won initially . How could he give it up? Under the encouragement from that person whom Xu-er had arranged, Yang Chongguang became hot-headed and started borrowing from illegal money-lenders . By now, he had lost more than what he could afford to pay .
Sweat was all over his face . He could not sit still and kept fidgeting in his chair . He was struggling to keep his eyes open as he had spent a few sleepless nights on the gambling table, trying to focus his attention on the cards in the croupier’s hands .
The croupier was distributing cards to the players .

Yang Chongguang got excited and leaned forward on the gambling table, holding the three cards in front of him tightly . He slowly flipped the first card by its corner and revealed an Ace card . The sheepish eyes started to gleam with enthusiasm .
Suddenly, he realized he was giving away through his excitement and consciously peeped at his opponent who was sitting at the opposite end . Then, he acted to keep himself expressionless . However, his trembling hands could not cover up his nervousness .
Yang Chongguang slowly flipped and looked at the second card . When he saw that it was a Three, he almost jumped from his chair in exhilaration . He quickly placed the card face down .
He started leaning back against his chair and kept wiping the sweat on his face with a handkerchief . Deep inside, he was screaming: Two . The last card must be a Two . It must be a Two…
Yang Chongguang flipped the last card with his hands still trembling . When he saw that the last card was a Two, he threw the cards in his hands to the middle of the table with elation . He laughed loudly and exclaimed, “I have Three straights . Haha . You’ve lost!”
His opponent turned his cards over calmly and placed them in the middle of the table . “I have Three straights too . My apologies, the points on my cards were slightly bigger than yours,” he said .
Yang Chongguang stared at him with disbelief . “That’s impossible . How could your cards triumph over mine?”
The man signaled for him to look at the cards on the table .

Yang Chongguang subconsciously turned to look at his opponent’s cards on the table . It was indeed Three straights—a Two, a Three and a Four, which triumphed over Yang Chongguang’s cards . He fell back onto his chair in despair . “It’s over . I lost it all . Over . Everything’s over…”
Wen Xinya looked at Gu Junlin and raised her thumb . “The conman you found is indeed formidable . The amount he wins or loses is all under my control . This conman can accurately perform according to my requests . ”
“These are professional conmen trained by the casino . ” Gu Junlin glanced at the surveillance camera monitor as he spoke .
Wen Xinya opened her eyes wide in surprise . She was obviously not familiar with the operations of the casino behind the scenes and was shocked by Gu Junlin’s words . “Does that mean the casino has been cheating?”
Gu Junlin raised his almond-shaped eyes and replied in a low, suggestive tone, “The casino will not interfere if someone wins money within its set limit . However, it will not allow anyone to step beyond its boundary . A casino is a business that will never operate at a loss . It’s an unspoken rule in the industry . Therefore, a little gambling is delightful, but heavy gambling might cause serious injuries . ”
Wen Xinya totally agreed . “There are rules and boundaries for every industry . ”
Hearing her words, Gu Junlin smiled and took a packet of cigarettes from his bag . He put a stick of cigarette in his mouth and then took a box of special-made matchsticks to light up his cigarette . A bluish flame appeared on the end of the matchstick, seemingly from the dark world .
The bluish flame brightened up before him, highlighting the contours of his face . He had such a perfect profile and beautiful features with a slight devilish charm . He was a sexy boy and had the exact characteristics of an evildoer!

Xu Zhenyu looked evil too . But in comparison with Gu Junlin, he was miles behind!
Gu Junlin seemed to notice her observing him . He smiled at her and raised his eyebrow flirtishly in response .
Facing his flirtatious response, Wen Xinya, who had a soul of a 25-year-old, was able to withstand the seduction from this bad boy . She just glanced back at him plainly and knocked gently on the table . “Give a call to the illegal money-lenders and get them to start collecting debt from Yang Chongguang . Tell them to use some vicious methods on him . The objective is to make him so frightened that he gets nightmares in his sleep . Oh yes, do arrange for someone to monitor his activities so that he cannot escape . ”
Han Mofeng nodded .
Wen Xinya turned to look at Xu Zhenyu and said, “Arrange for someone to instigate Yang Chongguang at a suitable timing and encourage him to borrow money from Ning Shuqian with some threats . When a person is pushed to a corner, he will not have any sense of morale . Moreover, he is just an addicted gambler with no integrity . We must get ahold of photographic evidence to show the relationship between Ning Shuqian and Yang Chongguang . ”
She had done all this work to get to the mastermind behind Yang Chongguang .
“Okay!” Xu-er looked at Wen Xinya with mixed emotions . When dealing with a situation like this, she was able to handle matters rationally . As for himself, he had lost his cool earlier and felt a sense of shame because his actions could not even be compared to a girl like Wen Xinya . This almost hurt his dignity as a man .
