127: Chapter 127 Heaven and Earth
"Big Brother! Should we go for it?" Qin Shaojie asked impatiently, watching the sneaky figure in the distance, his eyes filled with excitement.
The others also looked at Qin Mo, their intentions self-evident.
Qin Mo said calmly, "No rush. Let's see what this person is actually trying to do first."
"Keep a close watch. Don't let him slip away."
Everyone nodded, their eyes fixed unwaveringly on the figure in the distance.
As time ticked by, the figure in the distance just stood there, looking around, with no intention of retrieving the luminous pearl.
At this point, everyone was confused, unable to figure out what the person was trying to do.
After waiting for a long time, Ye frowned and said, "We haven't made a mistake, have we? This person doesn't look anything like the Cleaner we are looking for."
Qin Mo hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"Forget who he is, we're not waiting anymore. Let's go!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the group, which had long been impatient, swarmed forward.
Seeing a crowd of people rushing toward him from all directions, the dark figure was terrified and took off running.
Seeing this, the group chased even faster.
"Stop!"
"Don't run!"
...
Before long, the man was caught by the group and was now curled up on the ground.
"Why are you running?" Qin Mo asked the man on the ground, annoyed.
Upon seeing the man's face, Qin Mo could already tell that he was not the Cleaner they were looking for.
"This..." The man glanced at the group cautiously.
"If you were taking a walk by the river and a group of people suddenly rushed out to chase you, wouldn't you run?"
"Uh..." Hearing this, Qin Mo looked embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, we made a mistake. You can go!" Qin Mo waved his hand.
"Really? Then I'm leaving?" The man looked at Qin Mo, puzzled, then got up and ran for his life.
"Hey, you..." Qin Shaojie started to say something, but Qin Mo stopped him.
Then, he said calmly, "Be careful. Follow him!"
"Big Brother, are you saying... there's something wrong with this guy?"
Qin Mo nodded, expressionless.
"He's not the Cleaner, but he should have some connection to the Cleaner. Let's follow him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Mo took the lead and chased in the direction the man had left.
The others followed cautiously, sneaking behind Qin Mo.
In the dark of night, the group followed the man all the way to the entrance of a high-end club.
"Heaven on Earth?" Looking at the large characters above the club, Qin Shaojie asked, puzzled.
Qin Mo looked at him curiously, "What? Have you been here before?"
"No, Big Brother, I've just heard friends talk about it. On the surface, it's an entertainment club, but inside, it's actually a casino."
"My dad is actually preparing to shut this place down."
A casino? Qin Mo was a bit puzzled upon hearing this.
In this area, in this setting, for it to have something else hidden inside, it shows that the owner of this place is no simple character.
Qin Mo turned to Cheng Xiaoguang and said calmly, "The three of us will go in and take a look. You stay here with your dad. Your dad has met the Cleaner, so we shouldn't alert him!"
Cheng Xiaoguang nodded with a solemn expression.
The three of them exchanged glances and walked in as if nothing were wrong.
...
On the other side. The man from earlier was now standing in an office on the third floor of Heaven on Earth, with a middle-aged man around forty years old standing in front of him.
The man looked at the person in front of him and said, "Cleaner, I've done you the favor. It's time for you to fulfill your promise, right?"
The Cleaner glanced at the man lazily, then slowly picked up the red wine from the table and took a sip.
"Oh? What did I promise you?"
"You... you're going back on your word!"
The man's face turned livid, his voice filled with intense rage.
"Heh..."
"Do you think that just because you did one thing for me, I would waive your millions in gambling debts? How can you be so naive?"
"You..." The man pointed at the Cleaner, his face turning bright red with anger, unable to utter a word for a long time.
"I... I'll kill you!" Suddenly, the man grabbed a red wine bottle from the table and smashed it hard toward the Cleaner's head.
Before the man's attack could land, a bodyguard standing nearby kicked him directly.
"Boom!" With a loud crash, the terrifying force sent the man flying backward, and he slammed into the ground, rolling around in agony.
The Cleaner glanced at the man with disdain.
"Because of this action of yours, your wife and children will regret it. I will sell them into a brothel."
"You..."
"Cleaner! I'll kill you!"
"Ah!!!"
The Cleaner waved his hand. "Take him away, take him away! He's so noisy."
The bodyguard nodded, pulled the man up from the ground, and headed upstairs.
"Oh, right!" The Cleaner suddenly thought of something and stopped the bodyguard.
He then made a throat-slitting gesture and pointed at the man on the ground.
Seeing the bodyguard nod, he turned around, pressed his palms together, and bowed to the Buddha statue in front of him.
The bodyguard expressionlessly dragged the hysterical man away; it seemed he was already used to such things...
...
After Qin Mo and the others walked into the club, they were stunned by the sight before them.
Stepping into the club, warm yellow light filtered through the exquisite carved lampshades, casting down and coating the entire space in a soft halo.
Every single floor tile was inlaid with gold, and the magnificent, glittering walls nearby made it look like a palace.
Even though the three of them were well-traveled, they were still shocked by the sight.
What a massive display of wealth...
Just then, a man dressed in a suit, looking like a manager, walked over and looked at the three of them with a smile.
"What would the three of you like to play?"
Qin Mo frowned slightly and said calmly, "It's our first time here. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed the man's face, but it vanished in an instant.
"Since it's your first time, why not play some poker? A game just started. Are you interested?"
The three of them exchanged glances and said calmly, "Sure! Lead the way."
The man's face blossomed into a smile upon hearing this; after all, for him, the three of them were three big fat sheep that had delivered themselves to his door, and he would have to entertain them well...
"Wait, no? The Streamer is gambling in public? Is that appropriate?"
"Does the guy above not have a brain? Do you think Brother Mo could lose with his skills? How do you think he became the God of Gamblers?"
"I'm not worried about whether the Streamer will lose! I'm saying this sets a bad example! After all, gambling is illegal."
"I reckon our God of Gamblers will be behind bars tomorrow. After all, gambling while live-streaming is no small matter."
"I really don't know what you guys are worrying about. There are 500,000 people in the livestream, and 150,000 of them are Hat officers. If there was really a problem, do you think the Hat officers wouldn't be eyeing the Streamer's performance?"
"Exactly. The Hat officers haven't said a word, so what are you all babbling about..."
