"Bang!"
"M*** F***!"
Ans slammed his hand on the table in fury, then roared, "You son of a bitch, you set me up!"
"You hick, all night long it was just... just...!"
Hearing Ans's roar, the black-suited bodyguards behind him also stirred, as if they were ready to pin the Bearded Man down the moment Ans gave the order.
"Sir, there's no need to get so angry. It's just a game, isn't it?" The Bearded Man raised his hands, as if he were frightened by Ans, and hurriedly said.
The dealer had already called the casino security when he saw the conflict erupt between the two.
So, at this moment, the casino's security captain, accompanied by several people, also walked over.
He bent over and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you gentlemen need help with?"
Although the words were polite, they felt more oppressive coming from the security captain's burly frame and stern face.
"Whew~ Nothing." Ans exhaled, trying to suppress the irritation boiling inside him.
It wasn't really the millions he cared about; he was just annoyed that he'd been played for a fool.
And his good mood for the evening had been completely ruined by those few hands of cards.
"Those chips are yours now." Ans threw the cards onto the table, then said coldly to the Bearded Man.
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the casino with his bodyguards.
At the same time, the Bearded Man and the young man exchanged a glance, then stood up and also headed out.
Meng Ran and Gwen, seeing the situation, knew that the assassins were about to make their move on Ans.
The two of them gathered their remaining chips and followed the killers.
Just as they were about to leave the casino, the Bearded Man and the young man seemed to suddenly receive some news.
They both took out their phones and looked down at the messages.
After reading the information on their phones, the two killers' expressions subtly changed. They glanced at each other and then headed in a different direction.
Meng Ran and Gwen also keenly sensed the change in the two men. The situation had shifted, and their plan needed to change as well.
Meng Ran said softly to Gwen, "These two killers seem to have received some news, possibly related to the mission, but we don't know the specifics yet."
"Here's the plan. You follow Ans, and I'll follow those two killers."
"I'll go see what's going on with them and contact you later."
Gwen nodded in agreement, and the two of them split up. One followed Ans, and the other followed the two assassins.
Meng Ran followed the assassins out of the casino, then activated Ghost Stealth to conceal himself. He slowly closed in on the two assassins.
At the same time, the assassins' hushed conversation reached Meng Ran's ears.
"Senior, what do we do now?"
"The organization wants us to find a place to hide after we finish the mission. Don't go back to headquarters for now."
"Is something special going on? Will we be implicated?"
The young man, clearly unaccustomed to this situation, couldn't contain his anxiety and asked the Bearded Man.
The Bearded Man pondered for a moment after hearing that, then said to the young man with a casual air, "Don't be so nervous, kid."
"Missions aren't always set in stone. We have to adapt to the situation. You'll understand that as time goes on."
"Since the organization wants us to hide after completing the mission, we'll just do as they say."
"It's a good thing I won some money earlier today, otherwise, the expenses during this period would have been a problem."
The Bearded Man was clearly a spendthrift, living hand-to-mouth. He was secretly celebrating his earlier decision.
"Senior, then..." The young man looked at the Bearded Man bashfully, then began to speak, somewhat embarrassed.
The Bearded Man was a shrewd person; he knew what the young man was thinking the moment he saw his expression.
He put an arm around the young man's shoulder and said, beaming, "Don't worry. I'll hold onto your 500,000 for you. Do you think your senior here would cheat you?"
"Think about it, if I hadn't helped you make a quick buck first, you wouldn't have this 500,000 to spend."
"Why are you still worried I'll swallow your money? I'm so hurt."
Hearing the Bearded Man's words, the young man became a little nervous and waved his hands repeatedly, then stammered an explanation that he didn't mean it that way.
In the earlier rounds of the gambling, except for the last one, the young man had been cooperating with the Bearded Man, which was why he had won so smoothly.
And the other gamblers, including Ans, had also been subtly encouraged by the young man, so they got a little carried away and ended up losing more money than they should have.
The 500,000 was originally a carrot the Bearded Man had dangled in front of the young man, but he hadn't expected the night's haul to be so bountiful. This forced the Bearded Man to share a portion of the profits with the young man.
The young man seemed shy, but he wasn't stupid. If he didn't say anything now, the Bearded Man would definitely act as if nothing had happened and pocket his share.
So, the young man subtly reminded him, letting the Bearded Man know he hadn't forgotten.
But at the same time, he couldn't be too blunt. He had to hint at it, otherwise, he'd damage the harmony between them.
The Bearded Man and the young man were both shrewd individuals, each with their own schemes.
Hearing their conversation, Meng Ran also gained a basic understanding of what had just happened.
It seemed Blackwater Company was indeed cautious. They had instructed these two not to return and report immediately after completing the mission, to prevent the headquarters' location from being exposed.
As Meng Ran was pondering, the Bearded Man and the young man had already finished their discussion.
They were preparing to continue searching for Ans and then complete the mission they were assigned for the day.
After completing the mission, the Bearded Man had also promised to take the young man "to play around" and let him experience the joy of having money.
The young man took out his phone, looked at Ans's location on the screen, and said to the Bearded Man, "Senior, the target has left the bar and is heading towards the hotel. Where should we make our move?"
The Bearded Man fell silent after hearing the young man's words. He rubbed his chin, then after a moment of thought, said, "Since he's going back to the hotel, we'll make our move in his room."
"Remember to disguise yourselves well later, don't let anything slip, understand?"
After saying this, the Bearded Man gave the young man another reminder.
The young man nodded upon hearing this. Then the two of them sped up, heading towards the hotel where Ans was staying.
