Chapter 1064: Chapter 1060: Casino
By now it was already two or three in the afternoon, and many markets had closed.
But the market Accountant Wu ntioned was different; it’s the largest market in the county town, and usually, it would only close after five in the evening when it gets dark.
Chen Yang drove, taking Accountant Wu with him, and in over five minutes, they arrived at the market he ntioned.
Upon arrival, Chen Yang parked the car and imdiately asked Accountant Wu to lead the way to find the vendor who provided him with goods.
But after walking around, he still couldn’t find him.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you say he would surely be here?” Yang Ruoxi impatiently questioned Accountant Wu.
The expression on Accountant Wu’s face was even more anxious than Yang Ruoxi’s.
This concerned whether he would end up in jail, so he was far more agitated than Yang Ruoxi.
“He’s usually here… Why isn’t he today? Strange!” Accountant Wu stomped his foot on the ground anxiously.
Yang Ruoxi originally hoped to find the real culprit through him.
Now that they couldn’t even find the person, she imdiately thought of taking Accountant Wu back to the hotel and handing him over to the police.
But Chen Yang stopped her.
“Ruoxi, it’s no use handing him over now. We should still think about how to find that vendor.” Chen Yang comforted Yang Ruoxi.
Yang Ruoxi let go of Accountant Wu’s hand, her eyes instantly misting over with tears.
“Where can we find him… There’s no doubt he’s guilty and fled long ago, I’m afraid sothing really will happen to my sister.”
Seeing Yang Ruoxi on the verge of tears, Chen Yang felt uneasy and quickly offered comfort.
“That’s not necessarily the case; we can surely find so clues.”
After comforting Yang Ruoxi, Chen Yang glared coldly at Accountant Wu: “You traded with that vendor for so long, and you only know that he sets up his stall here and nothing else?”
Accountant Wu was trembling all over with anxiety, frantically shaking his head: “Boss Chen… I really don’t know, I’ve told you everything I know on the way here. How dare I hide anything?”
Accountant Wu was frightened to death, feeling worse than anyone else at this mont.
He never expected that just seeking a little advantage would lead to such severe consequences.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have dared to make this money.
Just as Accountant Wu was about to cry fruitlessly, suddenly a butcher selling at on the street not far away called out to him.
“Hey, isn’t this Accountant Wu? How co you’re here so late today? What a coincidence, Old He just left.”
Upon hearing this, Accountant Wu imdiately turned his eyes to the butcher and quickly walked over to the at stall.
“What did you say? Old He just left?”
Accountant Wu widened his eyes, staring at the butcher.
The butcher, shirtless with an apron, was stunned by the significant reaction to his casual remark.
However, he still nodded and responded to Accountant Wu.
“Yes… yes, he just ca by to pack up his stall.”
Upon hearing this, Accountant Wu was overjoyed, his face indescribably excited.
At this mont, Chen Yang also walked over.
Seeing Accountant Wu’s expression, he knew that there was sothing up and asked, “What’s going on? Is there sothing?”
“Yes, yes! Boss Chen, the guy who sells stuff just left!”
Accountant Wu excitedly responded to Chen Yang, then hurriedly began questioning the butcher.
“Butcher, tell carefully, when did Old He leave, was there anything unusual or did he say anything to you, and in which direction did he go?” Accountant Wu, as if grasping the last straw, grabbed the butcher’s arm and questioned in a flurry.
The butcher was bewildered by his actions.
“This… what’s going on with you, has sothing happened? You seem so unusual.” The butcher asked, startled.
“Stop asking so many questions, just answer mine!” Accountant Wu directly pulled out two or three hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and slapped them on the table.
Seeing the money, the butcher’s shocked expression imdiately turned into a grin.
Without hesitation, he began to tell Accountant Wu what he knew.
“He left about half an hour ago, seed happy when he ca, must have made a lot. He even invited to the casino to play when he left, but I still had a lot of at to sell, so I didn’t go.” The butcher replied seriously.
“Casino?”
Chen Yang imdiately picked up on the key point and asked, “Which casino do you usually go to?”
“Not far, just on the street to the west, Accountant Wu should know it.” The butcher said.
Chen Yang heard this and looked at Accountant Wu.
Accountant Wu imdiately nodded: “I know, I know!”
“Then let’s go and look there, we should be able to find him.”
Knowing that Old He might have gone to the casino, Chen Yang, Accountant Wu, and Yang Ruoxi didn’t delay and headed straight to the street to the west with Accountant Wu.
In less than ten minutes, they reached the street where the casino was located.
This street was very dilapidated and low-lying.
It was a very old street.
And the casino was even more down in the basent of a very ramshackle old brick building, in an abandoned air raid shelter.
The casino was large and quite famous in the county’s gambling scene.
Chen Yang didn’t usually pay attention to these, so he didn’t know there was such a large casino in such a place.
“Ruoxi, you’d better not go in, just wait for us outside. Accountant Wu and I will go.” Standing far from the old brick building, Chen Yang told Yang Ruoxi.
Chen Yang was unsure about the situation inside the casino, and for safety’s sake, it was better for Yang Ruoxi not to go in.
After all, it was a mixed crowd inside, and taking another person in would be quite inconvenient.
Yang Ruoxi understood this, so without much thought, she nodded in agreent with Chen Yang.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you up here, just be careful yourself.”
“Mhm, I will.”
Chen Yang nodded, then had Accountant Wu lead the way, and they approached the old brick building together.
The old brick building was extrely ancient, at least thirty or forty years old, with doors still made of planks of wood.
As they reached the entrance, about to lift their legs to step inside, two young n with unfriendly expressions and crew cuts suddenly ca out of the door, blocking their path.
“What are you two doing?”
The young n asked with unfriendly expressions.
Chen Yang didn’t answer, but Accountant Wu, understanding the rules here, quickly smiled as he answered: “Haha, young brother, we were introduced by friends to co play a few rounds, no other intentions.”
“Play a few rounds? What are you saying?”
The young n didn’t lower their guard and still drove them away.
Seeing this, Accountant Wu quickly said: “Really, we just ca from the market, specifically to play a few rounds, young brother, give us a break.”
With Accountant Wu’s second attempt, the expressions on the two young n’s faces slightly softened.
After a mont of hesitation, they stepped aside and did not obstruct Accountant Wu and Chen Yang from entering.
“Haha, thank you, both of you. We’ll treat you to tea once we win.”
Seeing this, Accountant Wu imdiately bowed slightly, then led Chen Yang inside.
After entering the old house, they walked through a fairly long dark tunnel.
After passing through the tunnel, Chen Yang and Accountant Wu finally arrived at the underground casino.
The place was dimly lit, and the air was murky.
But the crowd here was dense; at a rough estimate, there were likely over a thousand people.
This was the first ti Chen Yang had seen a casino of this scale.
