Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 734 - 314 I want to take back everything

The night fell, and the true paradise of Huacai City finally arrived.

Lei Jian and Wang Zhenjiang, dressed as rogue gentlemen, concealed their weapons and walked toward the gates of Huacai City.

The entrance to the gambling city was equipped with X-ray machines and metal detectors. Every guest was subjected to comprehensive monitoring by these devices to prevent the carrying of dangerous items. Lighters, explosives, blades, and firearms all fell under the category of dangerous items. Once detected, a nearby person in black would promptly step forward to eject the individual.

Lei Jian lined up for inspection, and Jiang Ming, standing behind him, couldn’t help but lower his voice and say, "Mr. Lei, what if they find something?"

His voice trembled with nerves.

Lei Jian whispered back, "We’ll play it by ear when the time comes."

Soon it was Lei Jian’s turn. With a calm expression, he walked through the doorway, and the machine beside him showed no reaction.

Lei Jian discreetly wiped away his sweat and gave the green light after receiving a security clearance.

Apparently, Bob hadn’t lied to him.

Wang Zhen and Jiang Ming also passed the inspection smoothly and entered Huacai City.

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively patted his lower back, "I was scared to death just now. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, and those people kept their word."

"Cut the chatter. Stick to the plan."

Lei Jian cautiously observed his surroundings. Huacai City was even more extensive than he had imagined, its lavish decorations rivaling those of a palace. It was no wonder so many men lingered here, as it was truly a paradise for them.

"Xiao Wang, stay on the first floor and be ready to act. Xiao Jiang, let’s go."

Huacai City had nine levels, the higher up one went, the more exclusive it became. According to the information provided by Bob, Yu Fuce was held on the tenth floor, at the very top, where Huacai City’s management usually relaxed.

The rules here were stringent. To move to the next floor, one must double their chips. To enter the ninth floor directly required at least ten million in chips.

Using the check obtained from Han Li, Lei Jian exchanged it for ten million in chips and, along with Jiang Ming, succeeded in reaching the ninth floor.

Lei Jian stuffed the chips into Jiang Ming’s hands and said, "Go gamble."

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

Lei Jian gave him a glance, "What else did you think we came to the ninth floor for?"

Even pretending must be done convincingly, or it would arouse suspicion.

Jiang Ming hesitated, "But... but I don’t know how."

"Can you pretend to be a playboy?" Jiang Ming had pleasing looks, and once dressed up, he indeed exuded the charm of a wealthy scion.

Jiang Ming headed to the card table and glanced back at Lei Jian.

Lei Jian stopped a pretty passing croupier and asked for the directions to the restroom.

The croupier was enthusiastic and personally guided him to the restroom.

"Sir, please remember my badge number, 021. My name is Awen. Please reach out if you need anything."

"Thank you, you go ahead. I’ve got a bit of a stomach ache."

Lei Jian clutched his stomach with a pained look.

The croupier smiled and turned away.

As she turned, Lei Jian lowered his head and immediately changed his expression.

The area was littered with cameras, with the restroom being the only exception.

Lei Jian quickly moved toward the emergency exit next to the restroom, but found the door locked.

From his watch face, he drew out an ultra-thin wire, inserted it into the keyhole, and unlocked it in under three seconds.

Upon opening the emergency exit door, a staircase leading to the tenth floor was revealed.

Lei Jian dashed straight for the tenth floor, where the passage door was similarly locked.

Employing the same method, at the instant of unlocking, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

The emergency exit lock should have been secured from inside, like on the ninth floor, but on the tenth floor, it was locked from the outside. This was unusual, as if...

Lei Jian’s hairs stood on end all at once.

The door leading to the tenth floor was right before him, yet he hesitated.

The journey had been too smooth, suspiciously so.

But having come this far, there was no turning back.

Lei Jian opened the door a crack and cautiously peeked outside.

The tenth floor was eerily quiet, with no patrolling men in black in sight.

There was not even surveillance here.

The carpeted floor gave way underfoot, light as a feather.

With one hand placed on his lower back in a defensive posture, Lei Jian advanced slowly, his eyes scanning the surroundings like radars, ready to react at the first sign of trouble. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At the end of the corridor was a grand golden door.

According to Bob’s information, Yu Fuce was being held inside this room.

No guards stood at the entrance.

The corridor was so silent, a pin drop could be heard, starkly contrasting the noise and splendor below, as if they belonged to different worlds.

He sensed something was wrong but had no choice but to continue.

Even if facing a gauntlet of dangers, he was determined to forge ahead unhesitatingly.
