279: Licensed casinos in Nha Trang

Li Qinghe looked at Vu Linh Huong beside him with a hint of surprise: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Vietnam is a country that prohibits gambling; even playing cards in public is not allowed.

However, the more conservative a country, the more wildly people gamble in secret, especially a country like Vietnam that has lost itself in the economic tide.

So, Vu Linh Huong's question made Li Qinghe feel very strange, as she was encouraging her man to go to a casino.

"I was just afraid you'd be too bored! There are a few officially licensed casinos in Nha Trang, but they only allow foreigners."

Vu Linh Huong swayed Li Qinghe's arm as they walked lightly on the beach.

She was worried that the scooter robbery incident would make Li Qinghe feel bad, so she wanted to find a place for him to relax and have some fun.

Vu Linh Huong knew it would be difficult to achieve this on her own.

It just so happened that she had heard Vu Van Nghia mention several casinos in Nha Trang specifically for foreigners, so she thought of letting Li Qinghe go to relax, but she hadn't considered what would happen if Li Qinghe got addicted or was set up.

"I, Huang, am an sworn enemy of gambling."

Li Qinghe said with a smile, using a meme that only Dragon Country People would understand.

Coincidentally, Vu Linh Huong, a Dragon Country People expert, also understood it.

But she thought about it; with Li Qinghe's strength, he really didn't need to be controlled in this aspect. At least for the past few days, she had been firmly controlled, without the slightest strength to resist.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do tonight. When we get back to the hotel, we'll just play some games, tell some stories, and go to sleep. I just want you to be happy."

Vu Linh Huong whispered in Li Qinghe's ear, her breath slightly warm.

Seeing Vu Linh Huong acting like a little woman, looking at him ingratiatingly,

Li Qinghe didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm: "Then let's go take a look. It shouldn't be a problem for you to go in, right?"

"Haha, I'm your woman!" Vu Linh Huong pursed her lips and smiled, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

There's no problem with a foreign man taking a Vietnamese woman to a casino, because even if you don't bring one, the casino will provide women for its customers.

Of course, whether to accept them or not is a matter of individual preference.

Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong were both people with strong initiative.

Once they decided, they immediately acted.

They were now planning to go to the Crowne Plaza Hotel, located in the city center of Nha Trang, which is actually in the central coastal section.

This is one of Nha Trang's three licensed casinos.

The two directly hailed a Grab to get there. Sitting in the taxi, Vu Linh Huong called her brother and told him where they were going that night.

Vu Van Nghia said he would contact someone immediately and meet them at the hotel entrance to take them in.

Many places that supposedly don't welcome Vietnamese people actually only don't welcome those Vietnamese without status or assets.

In this environment, many high-ranking Vietnamese officials actually come here for leisure and entertainment.

Because they are mostly foreigners, for these Vietnamese officials, the environment is actually much safer than the outside world.

Although from time to time, some disgraced Vietnamese officials are exposed for participating in casino activities, before that, the Vietnamese public would not hear such news.

After Vu Linh Huong and Vu Van Nghia finished their call, she also handed the phone to Li Qinghe to chat for a few minutes.

Vu Van Nghia is now very friendly towards Li Qinghe because Li Qinghe makes him feel strong and invigorated every day.

Especially after returning to Hanoi last time, the 10 o'clock sharp exchange made both Vu Van Nghia and Da Mi Fan feel a long-lost sense of exhilaration.

And Vu Van Nghia, facing his legitimate Da Mi Fan, had no inhibitions, one could say he performed at his best level in 30 years.

Everyone was delighted for a while.

Even Tran Thi Hoang Oanh, who also benefited, would often speak highly of Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong in Vu Van Nghia's ear from then on.

The power of pillow talk is strong, and moreover, Li Qinghe's kind of strength is something every family greatly needs.

So, after learning that Vu Linh Huong was taking Li Qinghe to the Crowne Plaza Hotel casino, Vu Van Nghia immediately called and made arrangements for them.

Vu Van Nghia was not at all surprised that Vu Linh Huong was also going.

He knew that his younger sister had been relatively well-behaved since childhood, but as she grew older, she showed a bit of late-blooming rebelliousness.

She wanted to try many things she couldn't try before.

Regarding this situation, Vu Van Nghia's attitude was to let her be.

After all, Vu Linh Huong had been an adult for several years, and she had her own judgment and worldview.

Moreover, now that Vu Linh Huong was with Li Qinghe, he didn't have to worry too much about her safety.

He also knew that Vu Linh Huong was just curious about this place and wanted to try and understand it.

From Vu Van Nghia, Li Qinghe learned that there are a total of 7 licensed, legitimate casinos in all of Vietnam, all exclusively for foreigners.

And three of these are located in Nha Trang.

These Vietnamese casinos have successfully attracted some of the clientele lost from Macau, China.

They also gathered some customers from Southeast Asia.

Vu Van Nghia told Li Qinghe over the phone to play boldly there. Whatever he won, he could take directly, and if there were any problems, he should just mention his name.

It was evident that after receiving substantial benefits, this brother-in-law was now wholeheartedly supporting Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong's relationship. At least in Vietnam, Li Qinghe no longer had to worry too much about official matters.

At the entrance of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong met the person who came to pick them up.

This was a well-dressed middle-aged man who, upon seeing Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong, very politely asked them to call him Lao Fan.

Led by Lao Fan, the two entered the casino of the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

This was a podium building of the hotel.

It was quite large, with 5 floors in total.

It looked like a small shopping mall.

At the casino entrance stood several security guards holding AKs. Because they were led by Lao Fan, the identity verification was basically just a casual registration.

To know a place, besides seeing it with your eyes, smell is the most intuitive sensation.

Every occasion has its unique scent.

Walking inside the casino, the first thing the nose detected was a cool minty scent, followed by a strong latex smell and the pervasive scent of ink.

The entire 5-story casino was built around a central atrium.

The outermost circle consisted of a large number of slot machines, while the center featured various gambling tables, most of which had different dealers standing behind them.

The overall style was opulent and perfectly matched Li Qinghe's imagination of a casino.

After bringing Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong into the casino, Lao Fan politely said goodbye and left.

It seemed his post here was not in the lobby.

Li Qinghe went to exchange 10,000 US dollars for chips.

They accepted various currencies here: US dollars, dragon country currency, Euros, Japanese yen, Korean won, and of course, vietnamese dong.

The most popular was naturally the US dollar.

When he pulled 10,000 US dollars in cash from his pocket, Vu Linh Huong was startled.

It had been several days since her relationship with Li Qinghe had progressed, and she had never known when Li Qinghe had slipped a wad of US dollars into his pocket.

Holding a small basket of chips, Vu Linh Huong didn't know what to play.

On the way in, Lao Fan had briefly introduced the various games available.

From slot machines and roulette to baccarat, blackjack, and other games, they were mainly tailored to what East Asians and Southeast Asians were accustomed to playing.

Standing by a gambling table, Vu Linh Huong looked at Li Qinghe: "Qinghe, you play first, I'll just follow you."
