The Never - Sleep City is one of the top entertainment clubs in Jiangzhou, with a full range of entertainment projects inside.
As night just fell, it was the busiest time for the Never - Sleep City.
Yang Wei didn't know what Fang Yue was bringing him here for, but when he heard her mention the "happiness of having multiple wives" (a figurative expression here), he was filled with anticipation.
They went all the way to the top floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw a spacious hall bustling with people, and the noise was incessant.
Yang Wei swept his eyes around and realized that this was actually a gambling den. Fang Yue pulled him to a table at the innermost part. There were many people surrounding it, and several people were sitting in front of the gambling table.
"Old Qin, do you still have money to play? If not, get out of the way quickly and don't hog the spot!" A gambling buddy looked at the middle - aged man opposite him and urged impatiently.
The middle - aged man had no chips in front of him, while other gambling buddies still had quite a few chips.
The middle - aged man's face showed some struggle. Then he took off a watch from his wrist and put it on the table. "This is a diamond - encrusted Patek Philippe watch, originally priced at 230,000 yuan. If anyone likes it, I'll sell it for 200,000 yuan."
"It's just a used watch. It's not worth much. I'll give you 100,000 yuan. If you're willing, I'll give you the money right now." A gambling buddy at the same table said.
"100,000 yuan is too little. 150,000 yuan. If you want it, I'll sell it." The middle - aged man gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, deal!" The gambling buddy directly threw over 150,000 yuan worth of chips. The others all had a teasing look on their faces. Even if he sold the watch, he was still going to lose later.
Yang Wei frowned and looked at Fang Yue unhappily. "You brought me here just to watch others gamble?"
"His name is Qin Dayong, the father of Qin Xi and Qin Yi. I happened to see him here a few days ago and found out that he's been gambling here recently and has already lost a lot. It's said that he still owes the Never - Sleep City one million yuan."
Fang Yue pointed at the middle - aged man and then whispered, "These people at this table are clearly in cahoots. This fool is still playing with them. Just watch, the 150,000 yuan will be lost soon."
Yang Wei's eyes rolled, and he suddenly guessed Fang Yue's intention. "You mean that after he loses all his money, I lend him money?"
"After he loses the money you lent him, we'll ask him to pay it back. He surely won't be able to, so he'll have to find Qin Xi. Although Qin Xi is the general manager of Sanhe Group, as far as I know, she doesn't have much money. If she can't pay back the money, then she'll have to pay with her body." Fang Yue had a sinister smile on her face.
"Are you so sure that she'll agree to my request?" Yang Wei squinted and asked.
"She's just a slut pretending to be high - and - mighty. If she didn't sell her body, she wouldn't have become the general manager of Sanhe Group. As long as Qin Dayong owes a large amount of money, she'll have to compromise. This is the Never - Sleep City, and no one dares to renege on a debt here." Fang Yue knew everything about the Never - Sleep City.
Yang Wei was silent, but another plan emerged in his mind. He squinted and said, "You didn't want to cooperate with my Yang family, did you? Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Brother Yang, whatever you want to do, I'll cooperate unconditionally." Fang Yue flattered.
Yang Wei reached out and slapped her on the butt. "As long as you're obedient, if you can get this done for me, when I go back this time, I'll go to the Qin family with betrothal gifts to propose marriage."
"I'm looking forward to it, Big Brother Yang." Fang Yue went all weak and leaned against Yang Wei.
Sure enough, as Fang Yue had said, soon Qin Dayong lost all his money. He looked blank - faced.
These days, he had already lost all his savings. Even so, there was still unwillingness in his eyes.
"Lend me some more. I'm sure I can turn the tables this time." Qin Dayong suddenly said.
"Pay off the one - million - yuan debt you owe to the Never - Sleep City first. Who the hell is stupid enough to lend you money again?" A gambling buddy at the same table said disdainfully.
"I can lend you one million yuan!"
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind Qin Dayong. "But you must pay me back one million and one hundred thousand yuan with principal and interest tonight."
Everyone's eyes turned to the person who spoke. It was Yang Wei.
"I promise you!"
When Qin Dayong heard that someone was going to lend him money, he didn't care about anything else and immediately agreed. He quickly added, "Thank you, young man. Don't worry. I'm sure I can turn things around this time. When I do, I'll pay you back with principal and interest."
"Okay, I'm waiting for you to turn the tables."
Yang Wei smiled and took out a bank card, handing it to Fang Yue. "Go exchange it for one million yuan worth of chips!"
Soon, Fang Yue came back with one million yuan worth of chips.
When Qin Dayong saw so many chips, he felt his blood boiling.
"Come on, let's continue!" Qin Dayong laughed and said.
As time passed, Yang Wei stayed by Qin Dayong's side the whole time and watched as he lost one million yuan in just two hours.
Yang Wei didn't feel the slightest bit of regret. Instead, a mocking arc curved on his lips.
Because this one million yuan could bring him thousands of times the return.
Once he got Qin Xi into his bed, he could then use this to threaten Qin Xi to cooperate with the Yang family.
Then he could not only sleep with a beauty but also help his family open up the Jiangzhou market. It was simply a two - birds - with - one - stone plan.
"Young man, lend me another one million yuan. The wheel of fortune turns. It's my turn to get lucky soon." After losing all his money, Qin Dayong didn't realize that he had just taken on another one - million - yuan debt and was actually still thinking about borrowing more money to play.
This was the most crazy state of a gambler. Knowing that nine out of ten gambles end in loss, but when they're red - eyed from losing, they still think about turning the tables.
Yang Wei shook his head. "Sir, I have no kinship with you. Why should I lend you another one million yuan?"
Qin Dayong was taken aback and then came to his senses. He glanced at Fang Yue, who was holding Yang Wei's arm, and quickly said, "Young man, Xiaoyue is my niece. Since you're so close to her, of course I'm not a stranger. Just lend me one million yuan. I'll pay you back as soon as I get my money back."
"Xiaoyue, is he really your uncle?" Yang Wei pretended to be surprised and asked.
Fang Yue sneered. "I don't remember having such an uncle. I don't know him!"
Qin Dayong looked astonished and became a bit agitated. "Xiaoyue, I'm your uncle Qin Dayong!"
"Sir, my girlfriend said she doesn't know you. Don't go too far."
Yang Wei immediately stood in front of Fang Yue and said with a cold face, "Originally, I felt sorry for you and wanted to help, but I didn't expect you to be such a person, pretending to be my girlfriend's uncle. Since that's the case, now, pay me back."
Qin Dayong became anxious immediately. Asking him to pay back the money now was like killing him.
"I'm sorry, young man. I mistook you for someone else. Give me a few days' grace for the money I owe you. When I win it back, I'll pay you back as soon as possible, okay?" Qin Dayong pleaded.
Fang Yue watched coldly as if she really didn't know Qin Dayong.
"No way!" Yang Wei was very firm. "When I lent you the money, I said you must pay me back tonight."
He had been waiting for this moment and there was no way he would compromise.
Only then did Qin Dayong realize what a mistake he had made, but it was too late.
"Qin Dayong, it's time to pay back the five million yuan you owe to the Never - Sleep City, right?" At this moment, a bald burly man came over, followed by two lackeys.
Yang Wei frowned imperceptibly. He hadn't expected that the Never - Sleep City would come to collect the debt at this time.
"I only owe the Never - Sleep City one million yuan. When did it become five million yuan?" Qin Dayong was furious when he heard the bald man's words.
"Qin Dayong, you do owe one million yuan, but it's been overdue for half a month. With principal and interest, it's five million yuan! If you don't pay back the money today, I'll cripple your dog legs first!" The bald burly man kicked Qin Dayong in the stomach.
Qin Dayong was kicked to the ground. When he borrowed the money, he never thought about such high interest. At this moment, he was soaked in cold sweat. He crawled over to the bald man and knelt down. "Brother Qiang, please give me a few more days. I'll definitely find a way to pay back the money."
"Qin Dayong, it's not that I don't want to give you more time. I've already given you plenty of time."
The bald man kicked Qin Dayong over and stepped on his knee. "Today, either pay back the money! Or I'll cripple your legs first and then give you a few more days!"
As the pressure on his knee gradually increased, Qin Dayong's face was filled with fear. He roared, "I'll pay back! I'll pay back! I'll pay back today!"
"Do you even have the money to pay back?" The bald man increased the pressure under his foot.
Qin Dayong howled in pain. "Yes, yes, yes. My daughter has money. I'll ask her to bring the money right away!"
