To disguise her identity, Bai Wanyi pulled out a black mask and wore it on her face.
Tang Yu looked left and right, up and down, and somehow felt that she resembled a certain sister.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Noticing Tang Yu's gaze, Bai Wanyi asked.
"Nothing."
Tang Yu chuckled.
When they reached the second basement floor, before the elevator doors even opened, Bai Wanyi had already taken the initiative to hold Tang Yu's hand.
They walked out, posing as a couple, and saw a billiard room and several burly men.
One of the brawny men with a broad back and a big belly came up to Tang Yu and asked with a smile, "Here to play billiards?"
"A friend recommended this place," Tang Yu replied.
"Alright, you know the rules, right?" The burly man extended his hand.
Tang Yu took out his phone, turned it off and handed it over.
The burly guy looked at Bai Wanyi, who also handed over her phone following Tang Yu's example.
After surrendering their phones, the two went through a security checkpoint.
Then someone led them through a hidden door into the casino.
As they entered the casino, a somewhat pungent smell of smoke made Bai Wanyi couldn't help but cough a couple of times.
There were more than twenty tables set up in the casino.
Each table was crowded with gamblers, all playing various games.
In addition to this, there were plenty of slot machines and fishing games, all surrounded by people.
The noise and shouting made the place more lively than a bar.
Scantily clad waitresses bustled about, providing various services to the gamblers who were betting heavily.
"Let's go convert some chips first."
Tang Yu took Bai Wanyi to exchange for two hundred thousand chips and split half with her.
Bai Wanyi, however, was not interested in playing.
Seeing the circle of gamblers here, she couldn't help but furrow her brow.
How many families must be ruined by the end of the day?
Just as the two were wandering around the casino,
A few cameras in the casino were quietly focusing on Bai Wanyi.
In the surveillance room on the first basement floor, Lu Junzhuo stood arrogantly, staring at the screen.
The screen showed Bai Wanyi and Tang Yu wandering around the casino.
Seeing that Tang Yu really came.
A glint of delight flashed in Lu Junzhuo's eyes.
Since this idiot has taken the bait, it's going to be a big harvest today.
He planned on killing Tang Yu and then swoop in to save Bai Wanyi, earning some favourability points!
"Why don't we start now, Mr. Lu?"
Zhu Shaohui asked with a smile on his face. He told them he already knew about their plans for tonight.
"We can start, but don't hurt her. Just kill the waste beside her," Lu Junzhuo ordered.
Seeing that everything was ready, Zhu Shaohui waved his hand. His cohorts promptly sprang into action.
After wandering around the casino for a while, Bai Wanyi had gathered enough information.
She grabbed Tang Yu's arm and asked, "Shall we leave now?"
"Let's go," answered Tang Yu, his brows furrowed, wondering if the situation was getting out of control again.
A gang of people was already barreling toward them with palpable aggression.
There were more than thirty of them, all armed.
"It's them." The one who was leading the group pointed at Tang Yu and Bai Wanyi and shouted.
Everyone in the casino stopped what they were doing and turned to look at them.
What on earth was happening?
"Run!"
Tang Yu pulled Bai Wanyi and bolted as soon as he saw the mob.
Since they were in an underground casino, the only way out was via elevator.
If they ran toward the elevator, they'd be sitting ducks.
Also, staying meant facing the attackers in an open space where they could take advantage of their superior numbers.
So, Tang Yu hurriedly led Bai Wanyi into the bathroom.
"Quick, get backup. I'll hold them off!" Tang Yu knew Bai Wanyi's wristwatch had an emergency contact function.
According to the original story, Bai Wanyi would get caught before she even had a chance to use her watch.
Bai Wanyi nodded quickly, pressed a few buttons on her watch, and activated the emergency contact feature.
Her father had specially made this for her fearing she might face danger during her missions.
Once activated, help would arrive within a maximum of fifteen minutes.
Tang Yu picked up a hammer lying on the sink to use as a weapon.
Being a defensive powerhouse but miserably weak in attack, he had to rely on a heavy object as a defense.
Just as he was ready with his weapon, the mob was closing in.
Leading the pack was a long-haired teenager wielding a machete.
They had received the communication - the man could be killed, but the woman must not be hurt.
Upon Tang Yu's attempt to block him at the door, the young man let out a ferocious shout and hacked down at Tang Yu's shoulder with his machete.
The machete came down only to bounce off Tang Yu as if hitting a rock.
"You dare to hit me..." Tang Yu retorted, turning and slamming the hammer he held onto the young man’s head. Blood splattered all over.
After receiving the hammer hit to the head...
The young man dropped his machete as he screeched in pain, quite like a minion losing his equipment.
"Are you alright?" Bai Wanyi, having completed her emergency contact, shouted at Tang Yu.
"I'm fine," Tang Yu reassured her with a shake of his head.
Quickly, Bai Wanyi picked up the dropped machete and stood alongside Tang Yu, ready to battle.
The sight of her charging scared away the impending attackers to some extent.
Indeed, their boss had instructed them not to harm the woman.
"Two of you restrain this woman, the rest, kill the guy," one of the smarter punks commanded.
Immediately, two steel-pipe-wielding men dashed at Bai Wanyi, intending to immobilize her first.
The rest swarmed towards Tang Yu in a vicious attack.
And then, they discovered…
This man was like an immovable rock.
He was entirely unaffected, whether struck by a machete or a metal pipe.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
