Compared to Chu Ge's casual and indifferent demeanor at this time, Mu Lingshan's expression was indescribably colorful. Using gambling to control gambling? What kind of bizarre trick is this, so wild and imaginative? It's amazing he could even think of it!

Not to mention whether this plan can work, just the plan itself is quite questionable, even if it succeeds, some might say they're conducting entrapment.

However, as Mu Lingshan carefully chewed over Chu Ge's words, she gradually started to agree with him a bit.

Since Jinkai Villa has been operating for such a long time, it's absolutely impossible for no one to know about the shady dealings inside, which means someone must be shielding it. Using conventional methods, it's not just about taking down Jinkai Villa, it might be tough to even threaten it.

For unconventional situations, of course, unconventional methods have to be used.

Mu Lingshan furrowed her brows and asked, "Forget about the influence, that's not the most important thing. It's just... since it's a gamble, what if we lose?"

"Lose? Hehe..." Chu Ge smirked and let out a tremor from his nose, "Don't think about that for now. Are you coming with me, or getting off now?"

If it were any other situation, Chu Ge's dismissive attitude towards Mu Lingshan's words would have definitely made her unhappy, but at this moment, she wasn't annoyed but pleased, because it was an expression of extreme confidence.

Unknowingly, Mu Lingshan was also infected by this strong confidence, gaining more assurance in her heart.

Although she didn't know where Chu Ge's confidence came from, Mu Lingshan was somewhat used to it. This guy wasn't being cocky for the first time in front of her.

With a bit of excitement and thrill, Mu Lingshan leaned slightly forward from the passenger seat toward Chu Ge, a seductive smile spreading across her face. However, her beautiful eyes sparkled with integrity as bright as stars in the night sky.

"Brother Qian, such an exciting thing, plus the chance to ride in a Ferrari, how could I bear to miss it? Let's... get going?"

Knowing Mu Lingshan would say that, a smile played on Chu Ge's lips as he turned his gaze forward and started the Ferrari.

Soon, the Ferrari sped onto the street, racing like a red blaze through the vast night towards Jinkai Villa, located in the outskirts of Lidu City.

Jinkai Villa, located near Jingkai Lake on the outskirts of Lidu City, is nestled between mountains and water, boasting beautiful scenery. Beyond a patch of colorful flowers and green grass, pavilions and towers, flower terraces and waterside pavilions, you can see the silhouette of a row of buildings.

At the entrance of the villa, many high-end cars were parked—Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover, Audi—all were present, clearly indicating its popularity. Of course, the Ferrari 458 that Chu Ge drove there was also particularly eye-catching.

Getting out of the car, Chu Ge put his arm around Mu Lingshan's waist, and they walked side by side into the main entrance of Jinkai Villa. As they were greeted by a few hostesses in gold-colored cheongsams with bows and greetings, they assumed the demeanor of a playboy and headed to the front desk.

"Sir, how many of you?" asked the pretty receptionist with a professional smile.

Mu Lingshan glanced at the receptionist and said displeasedly, "Can't you see? What kind of look is that? Find someone to get some things from us, then prepare the best suite."

Such people were common at the reception, so she didn't think there was anything inappropriate. Chu Ge thought Mu Lingshan presented herself well, really like a woman who has hooked up with a wealthy man, looking smug.

The receptionist arranged for two villa staff members to go with Mu Lingshan to the car to get things and then smiled according to the procedure, "Could you both show your IDs?"

Mu Lingshan, impatiently, said, "Didn't bring it. What, can't we stay?"

The receptionist's smile never faltered, and she didn't say much, swiftly booking a room for Chu Ge and Mu Lingshan. Since the place wasn't exactly clean, it was quite normal for guests to not bring IDs.

Upon entering the room, the two service staff placed the items down, and Chu Ge generously tipped them. Once they left, he lit a cigarette, casually chatting with Mu Lingshan, who was going by the alias "Xiaoxue," as "Qian Kunda," all the while casually walking around the room to see if there were any cameras or listening devices.

Although the likelihood of finding such things in any random room was quite small, as the saying goes, better safe than sorry. Chu Ge was satisfied that the room indeed had none, making it easier for him to talk to Mu Lingshan.

"Are you tired? Would you like to rest well tonight and discuss things tomorrow, or should we get to work now?"

Actually, Mu Lingshan was a bit tired, but staying here alone with Chu Ge made her feel awkward. Without thinking, she said, "Since we're here, let's get to work quickly, right?"

Mu Lingshan herself hadn't realized that her attitude toward Chu Ge had changed significantly, speaking with a tone akin to a subordinate consulting a superior, even when expressing her opinions.

Chu Ge, sitting on the bed, smiled, "Alright, let's get to work. Make a call, invite a girl over."

Mu Lingshan was stunned and frowned, "Invite a girl? What are you planning to do?"

Seeing Mu Lingshan's expression, Chu Ge knew she misunderstood, shrugged his shoulders, and gave her a teasing glance, "Nonsense, what else would I want to do?"

Mu Lingshan didn't say anything, her gaze still fixed on Chu Ge. Why did these words sound more like they were up to no good?

Chu Ge had to explain a bit more, and only then did Mu Lingshan realize, her pretty face turning red again.

According to the information Chu Ge got from Liu Weijiang, although Jinkai Villa had a casino, not just anyone could enter. New faces wanting to gamble could usually only dabble on the outskirts. Only those who the villa deemed acceptable would be brought inside the casino.

And Chu Ge's goal, of course, wasn't the outskirts. Bringing in a lady was just the start of this business.

After hearing Chu Ge's explanation, Mu Lingshan made a phone call, and soon someone came to knock on the door.

Mu Lingshan opened the door to find a young woman dressed in a short skirt, looking very alluring, standing at the door. She was momentarily taken aback at the sight of Mu Lingshan, but then flashed a knowing smile.

"Beautiful lady, may I ask what services our boss needs?" Although the young woman was speaking to Mu Lingshan, she didn't forget to give a fawning smile at Chu Ge.

Feeling the young woman's gaze, Mu Lingshan was a bit unnerved. She thought she was doing a decent job pretending to be a lover, but compared to this one, in terms of daring attire and ingratiating mannerisms, she was greatly lacking.

"Haha, our boss has quite high standards. Tell me, what services are available here?" Despite her discomfort, Mu Lingshan asked generously.

"Beautiful lady, whatever service our boss desires, it's not a problem. It's just that... our prices here are slightly higher than elsewhere, so I hope the boss can understand?"

Chu Ge lazily glanced at the young woman and snorted dismissively, "I'm here just to have fun, money... is obviously not an issue."

The young woman's eyes lit up immediately, but Chu Ge continued, "But with your level, you don't meet my standards. It's my first time here, tell me, what kind of entertainment do we have?"

Hearing Chu Ge's latter words, the young woman felt a bit frustrated, but she knew well enough that in terms of looks and figure, she was significantly lacking compared to the girl beside this boss. No wonder the boss wasn't interested in her.

With a belly full of frustration, the young woman recited the entertainment options available there. After she finished, Chu Ge, with a sense of authority, gave a dismissive "hmm" through his nose, glanced at Mu Lingshan, and adopted a haughty stance, making it clear he was handing over the conversation to Mu Lingshan.

Mu Lingshan got the message, and with a spoiled sense of pride, she giggled and said, "Brother Qian, I want to play some cards, will you keep me company for a while?"

"Then let's go play."

After Chu Ge spoke, the young woman asked, "Beautiful lady, what would you like to play? Pai Gow, Mahjong, Fake Gold Flower, Texas Hold'em, anything you like."

Mu Lingshan hesitated again, as she suddenly realized a problem. On the way, she had been focused on how to coordinate with Chu Ge and find out the problems within the villa that she forgot to ask what games Chu Ge was good at.

Feeling uneasy, Mu Lingshan looked at Chu Ge and said coyly, "Brother Qian, what do you suggest we play?"

Chu Ge shrugged indifferently, "Whatever, we can play whatever you like."

Mu Lingshan was surprised at how assertive Chu Ge sounded.

Whatever? Could Chu Ge win at anything?

After a brief moment of hesitation, Mu Lingshan told the young woman, "Then let's play Fake Gold Flower."

Actually, Mu Lingshan's card skills were not good; to be precise, they were quite bad. The only reason she chose Fake Gold Flower was that in computer games, it was the only one where she didn't have negative points.

"Alright, please wait a moment, both of you."

The young woman turned around and left, and shortly after, a girl in a purple business suit walked in.

"Boss, beautiful lady, please follow me."

Chu Ge nodded and led Mu Lingshan out of the room.

On the way to Jinkai Villa, Chu Ge had already observed that there was a game room here, but it was obvious that such an open place wouldn't be a real gambling venue. No matter how strong the villa's backing was, they wouldn't be so brazen.

The three of them walked down the corridor for quite some time, taking several turns, before finally reaching an underground area. After walking for just over two more minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of a large private room.

When the door was pushed open, Mu Lingshan's spirits lifted immediately!
