The steward hurriedly said, "No way, he just lost too much money, fainted, and he’ll be fine after a rest."
"Everyone, continue playing, continue playing."
"By the way, does anyone know him?"
The surrounding gamblers all shook their heads.
The steward shouted again several tis, "Does anyone know the person on the ground?"
Still, no one responded, then soone said, "I heard him speak, and it doesn’t sound like a local accent. I suspect he’s a stranger, playing for the first ti."
The steward, left with no choice, waved over two thugs to carry Jiang Rong away.
The two carried Jiang Rong to a courtyard at the back and placed him in an empty room.
The steward quickly followed them in.
One of the thugs pointed at Jiang Rong on the ground and asked, "Manager Yang, what do we do with him?"
Manager Yang’s face looked unpleasant, and after a mont, he said, "Damn it, of all places to die, he died in our venue."
He thought for a while, "You go outside and call in Xiao San, who guards the door."
The thug quickly called the guard inside.
Manager Yang pointed at the person on the ground, "Did you see this person when he ca in? Did he co alone or with a companion?"
Xiao San looked at Jiang Rong on the ground for a long while, "I rember he had a companion."
"There was a very handso young man who ca in with him."
Manager Yang furrowed his brows, "Damn, if he had no companion, we’d just throw him in the mass grave tomorrow. With a companion, soone will surely co looking."
Soone dying in a casino and having people co looking ans trouble; when family mbers cause a scene, it’ll definitely cost so silver.
He stood up, "Leave the body here, don’t touch him until his family cos looking."
The next day, Jiang Youzhi didn’t go to the academy.
He was waiting for the casino people to co to Renxin Hall for money.
But nobody ca, and Jiang Youzhi felt a bit strange. Could it be Jiang Rong had good luck and hadn’t lost all his money?
He thought for a mont and sent Du Ruo to the casino to check.
During broad daylight, the casino’s door was ajar with only one guard; Du Ruo pushed the door open and went in, seeing a few gamblers with red eyes still betting.
He scouted around but didn’t see Jiang Rong, so he asked soone watching over the place, "A relative of mine ca last night and hasn’t returned, why can’t I find him?"
Hearing this, the person assud it was the relatives of the deceased from last night coming to look, quickly saying, "Co with ."
The watcher took Du Ruo to the backyard, opened the empty room, and pointed at Jiang Rong on the ground, "Look, is this your relative?"
Du Ruo was startled, seeing Jiang Rong lying on the ground, his face clearly dead.
"What, what happened to him?"
The watcher smiled bitterly, "He lost a thousand taels in one go last night and suddenly collapsed on the ground."
Du Ruo understood the situation and hurriedly said, "What should be done, I must rush back to report."
The watcher grabbed him, "A dead person can’t just be left here, hurry and take him away."
Du Ruo broke free, "I can’t do that, I’m rely a servant and can’t make decisions. I need to go back and tell the master."
With that, he ran quickly.
He rushed ho and explained the situation to Jiang Youzhi.
Jiang Youzhi was also shocked; he hadn’t expected Jiang Rong to die. Although Jiang Rong was greedy, shaless, and annoying, he hadn’t committed a cri worthy of death.
His mind spun swiftly, then he sat down and wrote a letter.
He handed the letter to Du Ruo, "Take it to the postal station, tell them it’s an obituary, and instruct them to use the fastest horse to deliver it day and night to the Jiang Family in Qingshan Village."
Du Ruo took the letter and hurriedly went to the station.
