As dusk fell, Lincheng under the night was still covered by a thick layer of ice and snow, the raging cold air lingered everywhere, and there were not many pedestrians visible on the cold streets.
Even if there were one or two passers-by occasionally, they would all be in a hurry, huddled in their coats, cursing the damn weather as they hurried on.
But compared with the depression in front of the door, the atmosphere inside the "Grand Palace" seemed extremely hot.
This is one of the most high-end entertainment clubs in the city, and it is also a gathering place for urban elites looking for entertainment. The hall has a hot atmosphere and is crowded with men and women seeking excitement. It is not only equipped with bars, nightclubs and other facilities, but also has more facilities on the second floor.
Many private gambling stalls were set up to make the atmosphere lively.
Liao Fan strolled into the hall, first observed the environment, and then led the timid Zheng Tao straight to the second floor of the venue.
All kinds of urban men and women, all kinds of drunken and luxurious scenes, are full of decadence and luxury.
It was Zheng Tao's first time entering such a place, so he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. As he walked, he looked around curiously and swallowed uneasily, "Liao Fan, do we really want to come here to spend money?"
"Is there a problem?"
Liao Fan looked back at him, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Fa Xiao's timid appearance, and reminded him, "Don't act like a thief, okay? We are here for normal consumption, and we are not asking you to steal things."
"But……"
Zheng Tao swallowed his saliva, looked around at the well-dressed urban elites, then looked at his own shabby appearance, and said with a bitter face, "Such a high-end place is not cheap, right? You..."
"Don't worry, I've prepared it in advance."
Liao Fan smiled and shook his head, grabbed Zheng Tao's arm and went straight to the second floor.
This is the place where gambling stalls are most concentrated, and it is also the largest gold sales cave in the city. People who usually come here to spend money are either rich or noble.
Liao Fan had never been here in his previous life. After all, he was just a little loser with a meager income. Every time he saw this kind of entertainment club, he had no choice but to avoid it. But this time, he went to exchange chips generously.
In this place, prepare to take Fa Xiaohao for a gamble before the wormhole breaks out.
"Gentlemen, how can I help you?"
At the reception desk in the front hall of the casino, stood a brightly dressed woman with a very gorgeous appearance. She had a tall figure, white complexion, and a slightly open neckline. The spring beauty revealed inadvertently made Zheng Tao, who had never seen a big scene,
, hung his head unnaturally.
Liao Fan said calmly, "I want to exchange my chips and enter the lobby to spend money."
As he spoke, he looked around curiously, taking in the entire environment of the casino hall.
At this time, the beautiful woman at the front desk was secretly observing the two poor and weird "customers" with her peripheral vision, and frowned slightly.
There is no doubt that the clothes of the two young men are too ordinary and are incompatible with this high-standard gambling environment.
Especially Zheng Tao, who was hiding behind Liao Fan, looked timid and afraid of strangers. No matter how you looked at it, he didn't look like he could come in and spend money.
The beauty at the front desk just took a cursory glance, and a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes. She straightened her slightly open neckline, still wearing a professional smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, you two. This is the city's most high-end shopping place. Not everyone can go in and spend money. We only accept high-end members."
The consumption standards of the "Grand Palace" are indeed very high. For two poor and down-to-earth young people, the beautiful receptionist is really not interested in receiving them. Her eyes are a little cold, even a little condescending.
Only then did Liao Fan notice the beautiful woman in front of him, a coquettish-looking beauty who also looked down upon him. Although she was indeed not bad looking, her arrogant attitude made him feel a little unfriendly.
Ten years ago, Liao Fan might have been angry, but now he had no intention of arguing with a dying person and just waved his hand.
"I was introduced by Manager Wu. Please arrange a private room for me quickly. Don't waste my time!"
His tone was calm, with an undeniable severity, which made the beautiful receptionist startled again.
The manager Wu mentioned by Liao Fan is named Wu Jian, nicknamed "Rattlesnake". He is definitely a ruthless character on the road. He is also a highly paid security manager hired by the "Grand Palace". Using this name is really quite bluffing.
.
"Do you know our manager Wu?" Sure enough, the attitude of the beautiful receptionist changed instantly, her smile became softer, and even her voice became softer.
"nonsense!"
Liao Fan still had the same indifferent look, his expression was withdrawn, and he cherished his words like gold, which immediately made the beautiful receptionist who had seen countless people feel a little confused.
"Okay, please come with me, both of you."
She hesitated for a while, then nodded quickly, exchanged some chips for Liao Fan, then twisted her waist like a water snake and led the two of them into the front hall of the gambling stall.
Holding the chips he had just exchanged, Liao Fanyun walked behind quietly until he entered the front hall, and then said to the beautiful welcome guest, "You can go back. If anything happens, I will call you."
"Okay, I wish you both a good time."
The beautiful receptionist still wore a professional smile, nodded slightly, and left quickly. But when she turned around, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Why is the person introduced by Manager Wu dressed so shabbily? Could it be that he is a fake?
Similarly, after watching the beauty at the front desk leave, Zheng Tao hurriedly tugged on Liao Fan's sleeve and whispered, "Do you really know the security manager of this casino?"
"certainly."
Liao Fan smiled and nodded. "Rattlesnake" Wu Jian, even in the apocalyptic era, still enjoys a certain reputation in the black market. Liao Fan naturally knows this guy.
As for whether the other party knows Liao Fan, it's hard to say.
He used Manager Wu's name just to make it easier for him to sneak into the casino. Since his goal had been achieved, he didn't want to say anything more on this topic and immediately went to the card game in the box.
The place is still very lively. In the middle of the room, there is a huge round table. The casino staff are standing behind the round table rolling dice and shouting vigorously to attract the onlookers to place bets.
Liao Fan quickly came to the outside of the gambling table, glanced at the place where everyone was placing bets, and then without hesitation took out the chips he had just exchanged, planning to place bets.
The items he played were very simple, just a simple comparison of sizes. After all, it was his first time to enter a casino to spend money. Liao Fan could not accept the too complicated gameplay.
However, just when Liao Fan was betting the chips he had just received, Zheng Tao on the side immediately stopped him and said nervously,
"Why did you place your bet without even looking at it? We don't have many chips. What if we lose?"
Liao Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose. I have the secret to win."
After saying that, he ignored Zheng Tao's objection, pushed out all the chips, and chose to bet on "small".
