They still didn’t know that at this moment, the gambling stone field was surrounded. Lin Dong and Lin Zhao stood among the crowd. They wanted to step forward to stop it, but seeing the stubborn look on Gongsun Lihan’s face, it seemed she couldn’t be persuaded. The gamble wasn’t big, but Lin Dong still had to arrange things carefully. Soon, all the attractive stones from the quarry were gathered and piled together to form a small hill. The gamble didn’t start immediately but instead was delayed by ten minutes, and it seemed the man was contacting someone to come over. Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Zhao kindly stepped forward, "I say, Lady Gongsun, you shouldn’t gamble with him. This person doesn’t look like a good guy. Even if you win, what if he retaliates against you?" Gongsun Lihan was taken aback by his words, and suddenly felt a bit scared. Yes, she came by herself today and didn’t have any help... At this moment, Gongsun Lihan just happened to see Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian coming down the stairs... She happily went forward, smiling and waving at Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, you’re back!" Chu Ge was surprised to see Gongsun Lihan here. He looked at her in astonishment and asked, "What are you doing here?" "I came to find you!" Gongsun Lihan looked at him with a smile. Lin Zhao was behind Gongsun Lihan. He waved at Chu Ge, his face looking very troubled. "Lin Zhao, what happened to your face?" Huo Tianqian asked puzzledly. Lin Zhao wore a crying expression and sighed. "This Miss Gongsun, she agreed to a gambling stone match with someone, and the opponent is a frequent winner at the gambling stone field, Zhang Youwei, sigh." Chu Ge suspiciously looked at Gongsun Lihan, "You want to gamble stones with Zhang Youwei?" Gongsun Lihan didn’t know who Zhang Youwei was, but after hearing what Lin Zhao said, she felt a bit uneasy, "Did you just say he’s a frequent winner?" Lin Zhao sighed. He had been winking at Gongsun Lihan, but she didn’t pay attention to him and ignored him. Now even if she wanted to back out, it’s too late. "Chu Ge, you run a gambling stone field. You should know how to gamble stones, right? Why don’t you help me? As long as you help me win, I’ll agree to anything you want!" Facing Gongsun Lihan’s words, Chu Ge didn’t know how to respond, but luckily Long Ang stepped forward at that moment and extended his hand, "Lady Gongsun, right? I’m Long Ang. Mr. Chu is the owner of this gambling stone field. Asking him to help you seems a bit unfair." "Long Ang? And who might Long Ang be?" Gongsun Lihan looked at him puzzled. "Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that I can replace Mr. Chu and gamble stones for you." "Really?" Gongsun Lihan was delighted to hear this. Anyone who could stand beside Chu Ge was surely an extraordinary figure. Huo Tianqian curiously looked at Long Ang, "You know how to gamble stones too?" Long Ang smiled at Huo Tianqian, "A little." What Long Ang didn’t say was that just this little was more than enough. Long Ang kept a low profile and wasn’t trying to get close to Gongsun Lihan for any reason. He simply didn’t want to make things difficult for Chu Ge. Gongsun Lihan pouted. It seemed now she could only pin all her hopes on Long Ang. At this moment, Liu Yue hurriedly ran down, whispered something into Chu Ge’s ear, and his expression changed. He said to them, "You stay here, Huo Tianqian, come with me." Long Ang looked puzzled at their quickly departing figures and wanted to follow them but suddenly remembered he had just agreed to help Gongsun Lihan. He sighed and suddenly regretted why he got involved in this. Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian rushed out; clearly, something had happened outside. Gongsun Lihan’s thoughts were all focused on the gambling stone, and she couldn’t help but ask, "You... really know how to gamble stones?" "Whether it’s a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk and you’ll see." Long Ang chuckled. "But don’t worry, even if I’m a mule, I’m a mule that runs faster than a horse." Soon, the gambling stone match began. Zhang Youwei looked at Nangong Lihan with a smirk, "I say, Miss Gongsun, found help so quickly?" "The game’s rules didn’t say I couldn’t find help." Gongsun Lihan snorted contemptuously. Zhang Youwei nodded, "No matter, whoever you find, the result will be the same." On the table were many stones, the largest the size of a head, and the smallest the size of a fist. They all looked plump and shiny, with a few even having strange patterns on them. Zhang Youwei gestured invitingly, "You go first." Meanwhile, at the entrance of the gambling stone field. "Mr. Chu..." Huo Tianqian whispered from behind. Chapters first released on NovelHub(.)net "It’s okay." Chu Ge waved him off, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, "These surrounds have been ambushed. In a moment, guard the door and don’t let them have the chance to come in. Don’t alarm the customers inside." Huo Tianqian nodded, "Got it, Mr. Chu, you be careful too." Chu Ge smiled, then quickly leapt into the air and slowly landed on the rooftop. From here, the hidden figures around were revealed. It seemed these people couldn’t hold back anymore and started taking action. The one leading them was the man dressed in a kimono, and he didn’t expect Chu Ge would come to the rooftop, let alone discover him. "When did you come back!" The ones below, even those useless ones, didn’t know Chu Ge was back! "No matter when I came back, what’s important is that your current situation is very dangerous." Chu Ge’s expression was calm, looking at him with an indifferent gaze and speaking smoothly, "Well, thank you for your concern as an enemy, being concerned about whether I’m in danger." "But I’m really curious, curious about why you keep targeting me over and over again." Chu Ge was genuinely curious, as he recalled that they always proactively sought trouble with him. "Targeting you?" The man laughed, "You’re overthinking it. We’re not targeting you, but you are the stumbling block on our road to success, and you must be removed!" After he finished speaking, he drew a knife, preparing to attack, "Chu Ge, talking is useless, do you dare have a fair fight with me?" Chu Ge squinted his eyes slightly. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what. But now, the person in front of him wouldn’t let him think deeper, charging directly at him. Chu Ge dodged, avoiding the attack, "It seems that only through fighting can we find a common language!"
