Who in the world does not know you?

Chapter 58 Complaint

Inside the Sihai Escort Agency, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this, and then revealed awkward smiles.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"As expected of Madam Li..."

"Madam Li is truly a heroine of our time..."

While the crowd offered these compliments, they were inwardly filled with mixed feelings.

Their wives wouldn't dare commit murder in broad daylight...

Even in the dark, he dared not...

Listening to the compliments from the crowd, Li Zigui nodded with satisfaction. Then he picked up a silver ingot from the table and casually tossed it to the little beggar who had brought the news. The beggar caught the silver with both hands, beamed with joy, and ran away.

Li Zigui turned to look at the gambling table in front of him, picked up a silver note and placed it in the area marked "Big".

As soon as he placed his bet, others rushed to place their bets on the other side, simply because Li Zigui was having a really bad day.

From beginning to end, Li Zigui never asked Leng Honglou who he had killed.

Because he doesn't care.

As long as his wife is in a good mood, he can kill whoever he wants.

There is no one in this world he cannot afford to offend.

As everyone placed their bets, the dice cup was lifted, revealing three dice: one, two, and three, resulting in a low score.

Li Zigui lost again.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting.

Li Zigui lost most of the silver he brought with him, and in the end, he only had fifty taels of silver notes left.

Others benefited from the anti-coupling scheme, and Doctor Li's immense wealth was known to everyone in Xichuan Prefecture. Everyone assumed he had done something charitable.

The clinking sound of dice striking the dice cup echoed once more. As the dice cup settled, Li Zigui casually tossed the silver note in his hand away.

"I've bet everything on the last round. Now I'm going home to cook for my wife."

Li Zigui bet on "small," while everyone else bet on "big."

The gambling den clerk, who was acting as the bookmaker, rolled his eyes and was about to open the dice cup when Li Zigui spoke up.

"Young man, I've been losing all afternoon. Could you do me a favor and let me handle the last round myself?"

The young man's eyes widened upon hearing this, but he still withdrew his hand that was about to open the dice cup.

Li Zigui walked closer and opened the dice cup, revealing three dice inside that showed five, five, and six.

He lost again.

He glanced at the gambling den employee, his eyes holding a meaningful look.

He said nothing, turned around and left gracefully.

"It has to be Doctor Li! He lost six hundred taels of silver in one afternoon and didn't utter a single complaint!"

Hearing voices from behind, Li Zigui, who was about to leave, turned around and smiled at everyone.

"I don't need to say anything..."

After he finished speaking, he went out and left. There were few pedestrians on the street. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his handsome face. In a daze, he felt as if he had returned to Sanqing Mountain when he was young.

Time flies like an arrow.

Li Zigui walked along the street toward home, greeting many people along the way.

His medical skills were superb, and he was often said to be able to bring the dead back to life. Having lived in Xichuan Prefecture for many years, he naturally enjoyed extremely high prestige.

So he himself couldn't understand why the newly opened gambling den dared to treat him like a fat sheep to be slaughtered. It couldn't be that just because he had plenty of money, they thought he was easy to bully...

When Li Zigui saw his own Crane Return Tower from afar, Leng Honglou was already looking around at the door, waiting for him to come home.

Upon seeing his wife dressed in a bright red dress, he couldn't help but smile and quickly walked forward.

Every month has odd-numbered days and even-numbered days. He Gui Lou is not open on odd-numbered days, and Li Zigui will only sit there to diagnose patients on even-numbered days. He also said that as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, and patients are more likely to be cured when they come for treatment on even-numbered days.

Therefore, if anyone in Xichuan Prefecture falls ill on an odd-numbered day, they either have to seek treatment from another doctor or simply endure the illness until the next day when Heguilou opens for business.

Today is the 27th, and Li Zigui finally has the leisure to join in the excitement of the newly opened Sihai Casino.

Upon seeing Li Zigui, Leng Honglou's expression instantly softened considerably.

"Where did you go wandering around?"

"I heard from Liu Qi, who sells snacks, that a new gambling den called Sihai Gambling House has opened in the north of the city. Today is its first day of business. I had nothing to do, so I took some money and went to join in the fun."

Li Zigui replied gently.

How's your luck?

Upon being asked this question by Leng Honglou, Li Zigui immediately frowned and let out a long sigh.

"Sigh... I brought six hundred taels of silver notes with me, but I lost not only the notes, but also all the silver I had with me. I don't have a single penny on me now..."

Upon hearing this, Leng Honglou frowned slightly.

"You lost everything? How did you gamble?"

"It's just rolling dice, betting on big or small. I've placed bets dozens of times, and haven't won a single time. My luck is just too bad, sigh..."

Li Zigui spread his hands, his face full of worry and sighing. He was no longer the relaxed and composed person he had been standing in front of others. He looked just like a wronged child.

Leng Honglou didn't say much, and started walking towards the direction Li Zigui had come from, facing the setting sun.

"Wife, what are you going to do? Oh dear, as the saying goes, you have to accept the consequences of your bet. It's not like I can't afford to lose a mere six hundred taels of silver..."

Li Zigui muttered to himself, but his body betrayed him as he followed closely behind Leng Honglou.

Although his tone sounded somewhat troubled, the smile on his lips grew even wider.

After Li Zigui left the Sihai Escort Agency, as the sun began to set and darkness approached, the others also dispersed.

After all, Li Zigui, the richest player, had left the game, and the remaining players didn't know whether to bet on big or small, and even if they were lucky enough to win, they wouldn't win much.

The young man in charge of rolling the dice calculated the day's earnings and then put them into the drawer under the counter.

He unconsciously recalled the scene of Li Zigui making one last bet before leaving, and felt inexplicably uneasy.

Li Zigui had lost a lot, and in the last round, the opponent wanted to win back some of his losses. However, the opponent chose to open the dice cup himself, which caught him off guard, and he didn't have time to cheat.

He naturally knew that Li Zigui was not someone to be trifled with, but the latter was generous and didn't care about winning or losing at all, which made him take a chance. After all, it would be a waste not to take advantage of a fat sheep that was already in his grasp.

Footsteps suddenly came from the doorway. The young waiter looked up and saw a beautiful figure in red lifting the curtain and walking in.

"The gambling den is closed for today. Please try again tomorrow..."

Before he could finish speaking, a gambling table not far away was shattered by a sword strike.

Leng Honglou, holding a soft sword, coldly glanced at the young man who was terrified by the sudden situation. As she raised her hand, the cold tip of her sword was already pointing at him.

"Call your manager out here."

A cold, emotionless voice came from his mouth.

The young man's throat bobbed, and for a moment he was too frightened to speak.

Just then, he saw Li Zigui walk lightly into the gambling den and come up behind Leng Honglou, resting his chin on Leng Honglou's left shoulder while looking at him triumphantly.

He suddenly understood why Li Zigui had left so casually after losing more than six hundred taels of silver.

So she went home to complain...
