Chapter 283: Gambling House Owner Dou Zhenghuai

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said, "Leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future. Let's stop here today. I'm really short of money." There was a faint smile in his tone, which made people unpredictable.

After saying that, Lin Feng put away the black crystal coins and was about to leave with Chen Xiner and Chen Yu. Chen Xiner and Chen Yu's eyes were full of surprise and confusion. They didn't know why Lin Feng came to this gambling house, nor did they know how he managed to get a leopard three times in a row.

Lin Feng looked at their expressions, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, you will know then." His voice was full of mystery, which made people full of expectations.

Lin Feng had just left the gambling table with Chen Xiner and Chen Yu and was about to walk out of the gambling house when a deep and powerful voice came from the corridor on the second floor, instantly breaking the brief silence.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you come up and have a cup of tea?"

The sound echoed through the gambling house like thunder, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to its source. A portly, big-eared man stood quietly in the second-floor hallway. His belly was round, his face was greasy, and his mustache fluttered gently in the breeze. He exuded a majestic and mysterious aura.

Lin Feng stopped, raised his head slightly, and looked at the man on the second floor. He still had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of vigilance.

"It's just an emergency. We'll see each other again." Lin Feng's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and it reached everyone's ears clearly. After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and continued walking towards the gambling house door with Chen Xiner and Chen Yu, without looking back.

Everyone present was stunned. They knew full well that the man upstairs was the owner of this gambling house. He was a feared figure in the area, feared by everyone. No one, save those of high status, had ever dared to ignore his invitation. Yet, this young stranger acted so calmly and composed that everyone began to doubt his identity.

The gambling house owner stood in the hallway, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng's departing figure. A complex glint flickered in his eyes: confusion, anger, and a subtle hint of curiosity. He hadn't expected this young man to be so bold as to refuse his invitation. But he didn't react immediately. He simply stood there quietly, watching Lin Feng and the others disappear outside the gambling house's gates.

Then, the gambling house owner slowly turned around and walked into his room. Inside, the lights were dim and smoke filled the air. A man sat quietly there, with a young man who looked to be in his teens standing behind him.

The stern face of the obese boss, Dou Zhenghuai, instantly transformed into a smile. It was a smile that held a hint of flattery and a touch of sophistication. His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on an elderly man in the room.

The old man was Jian Cang. He sat there quietly, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything in the world. Behind him, Sun An stood upright, his eyes revealing vigilance and loyalty.

Dou Zhenghuai said with a smile on his face: "Elder Jian, the person you just saw was the General Lin Fenglin you told me about?" There was a hint of flattery in his voice, as if he was taking credit for it to Jian Cang.

Jian Cang nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on his face. He looked through the window in the direction Lin Feng had left and said slowly, "This Lin Feng is indeed not simple." His voice was low and powerful, full of majesty.

Dou Zhenghuai quickly agreed, "Elder Jian is absolutely right. Lin Feng's performance in the gambling house is really surprising. He seems to have extraordinary means." There was a shrewd glint in his eyes, and he was secretly calculating how to gain more benefits from this matter.

Jian Cang frowned slightly and said, "Boss Dou, you have to send someone to keep an eye on them. Notify us immediately as soon as there is any news." There was a hint of command in his tone, making people dare not disobey.

Dou Zhenghuai nodded and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Elder Jian, I will send someone to keep an eye on them. I will definitely not let you down." There was a firm look on his face, as if he was assuring Jian Cang of his loyalty.

Jian Cang nodded slightly and said politely, "Thank you, Boss Dou." There was a hint of appreciation in his voice, which made Dou Zhenghuai feel happy.

Dou Zhenghuai was flattered and said, "No, no, we dare not. We are all working for Xinghai Peak. We will definitely go all out." His tone was full of loyalty and determination, as if he could do anything for Xinghai Peak.

Jian Cang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hahaha, okay! When I go back, I will say a few more good words about you in front of Xing Zun." There was a hint of promise in his voice, which made Dou Zhenghuai's eyes light up instantly.

Dou Zhenghuai said excitedly: "Thank you, Elder Jian!" His voice was full of gratitude, as if Jian Cang's words were a great gift to him.

Jian Cang stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go. The rest is up to you." There was a hint of majesty in his eyes, which made people dare not slack off.

Dou Zhenghuai hurriedly said respectfully, "Farewell, Elder Jian." His voice was full of awe as he watched Jian Cang and Sun An walk out of the room.

After Elder Jian left, Dou Zhenghuai's expression instantly grew serious. He called someone over and whispered, "Keep a close eye on Lin Feng and the others. Report every move to me." His voice was filled with authority, and no one dared to disobey.

The subordinates nodded quickly and responded, "Yes, boss." There was a determination in their eyes, as if they were assuring Dou Zhenghuai that they would complete the task.

Dou Zhenghuai watched them depart, secretly calculating. He knew that Lin Feng's appearance might bring unexpected trouble to the gambling house. But at the same time, he also saw an opportunity. If he could capitalize on it, he might be able to achieve great success in front of Xinghai Peak.

At this time, Lin Feng, Chen Xiner, and Chen Yu were unaware that they had been targeted. They were walking towards Xixuan City, their hearts filled with worry for Xu Tian.

The streets are lined with a wide variety of shops, and the vendors' cries of hawking seem to be telling the prosperity and vitality of this city.

Just then, a man in tattered clothes passed by Lin Feng. He seemed hurried, as if he was avoiding something. His clothes were tattered, covered in patches and stains, which made people feel pity. However, his face was relatively clean, as if he deliberately wore tattered clothes.
