Chapter 143 - Address Acquired. Gambling Addict Of A Father
Hearing those three syllables leave her lips in an eerie tone, everyone in the office shuddered.
In particular, Zhang Shaofeng and Ling Yichen, as they did not expect Lu Rongrong to be one of the culprits behind Chen Xinyi’s kidnapping.
“Where is she?” While everyone was preoccupied with their thoughts, Yun Jian had recovered her usual tone and asked Yuan Xiaoyu faintly, although one could still detect a hint of chilling intent from within.
The “she” she referred to was of course Chen Xinyi.
Yuan Xiaoyu dared not keep anything in the dark now, now understanding the severity of the matter. Yun Jian had made even her elder brother who she had always admired anxious.
Yuan Xiaoyu provided an address at once and looked up at Yuan Xuxiao before coming clean. “They wanted to kidnap the girl first, then send you a letter for you to meet at an agreed place alone. Afterward, they planned to catch you directly…”
Before Yuan Xiaoyu finished her words, Yun Jian turned to leave. What she wanted to hear was not her uninformative nonsense.
As Yun Jian left, she waved at Zhang Shaofeng and Ling Yichen. The boys followed her at once.
“Stay here and don’t go anywhere. I’ll take care of you when I come back!” Yuan Xuxiao pointed at Yuan Xiaoyu’s head and left as well.
He was an intelligent man. He knew that if he did not redeem his younger sister’s grave mistake, Yun Jian as one of Gu Sha’s high-ranking members would never let her go. Hence, he took proactive action.
After all, offending a Gu Sha Mercenary he was one step closer to his death.
Four of them walked back to the center of the casino through the backdoor.
The gamblers were shouting and cheering even more fervently compared to their arrival, the hoots one wave louder than another.
With Yun Jian walking leading the pack, the quad had come to the center of the casino, planning to leave the building quietly, when an anguished begging sounded. “Please, I beg you, please don’t chop my hand. Don’t… don’t do it! I’ll go home, I’ll get more money from home…”
The hoarse yell belonged to a man. It was in despair, regret lacing his tone.
There were many who were unable to pay for their losses in the casino and had their limbs severed as payment. It happened more often than not here in the Prime Casino, the distinctive top casino in Longmen City.
Yun Jian walked past the area without stopping while Zhang Shaofeng and Ling Yichen looked horrified.
“No, don’t chop, please, I beg you… Yun Jian? Yun Jian! Daughter, my daughter! She – she’s my daughter!” The voice that shouted hoarsely just now seemed to have caught a glimmer of hope out of the blue as he shouted at Yun Jian.
In the beginning, Yun Jian who heard the voice and actually felt that it was familiar. However, she did not pay attention.
When the voice called out to her in front of everyone, it was then that she reacted and looked up toward that direction. The sight of an unkempt man in his thirties or forties, with a beard that had not been shaved for some time, scrambled towards her.
Yun Jian was taken aback but she got a good look at the man.
He looked worse than the father of the original body’s memory, but it was clear that this person was one whom she had never met since her rebirth. In spite of it he was the one who had left nothing but troubles to the family. – He was the father to this body of hers, Yun Gang.
Yun Gang could care less about the reason his daughter was here in a casino. He scurried to hide behind Yun Jian, only peeking with his eyes, while cowering at his opponents. This man had won a game over Yun Gang and was about to chop his hand off because he could not settle the debt.
Zhang Shaofeng, Ling Yichen, and Yuan Xuxiao were all surprised that the middle-aged man was acknowledging a family member out of the blue, but when they saw that Yun Jian did not push the person away but instead had been distantly silent, they were shocked.
This grimy cowardly man in front of them was really her father?
How could this be?
Yun Jian’s dominance had even Yuan Xuxiao guessing what sort of parent could give birth to an amazing daughter like her, not expecting that she would have a gambling addict of a father!
