"Take a photo?"
Qin Chuan's expression was strange. This was indeed a good way to obtain evidence, but it seemed unnecessary for the police.
If they wanted this kind of evidence, the thugs who extorted protection money had done so much over the years that they would already have a mountain of it!
Qin Chuan felt a flicker of doubt, but he didn't overthink it. Perhaps the police had their own arrangements; he just needed to ensure his own people did their jobs.
And so, time flew by, and night descended!
Throughout the entire day, there was no progress. They watched helplessly as the extortionists and those involved in prostitution swaggered away.
Qin Chuan called Xiao Guodong, who told him to stay calm, as the big bosses of any criminal organization always appeared last.
It had only been a day, so there was plenty of time!
Qin Chuan could only helplessly choose to continue waiting.
Unconsciously, the time had reached ten o'clock in the evening.
Qin Chuan was about to go to bed with Li Ya when his phone suddenly rang.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was Xiao Guodong calling, which immediately perked him up. He quickly stopped Li Ya's mischievous hand from fiddling inside his clothes.
Li Ya pouted in dissatisfaction. She had just gotten into the mood, and now she was being forced to stop?
"Qin Chuan, the show is about to begin!"
"My informant tells me that the casino in the southern part of the city has opened! Many gamblers are gathering there!"
The casino in the south of the city?
Qin Chuan had heard of this place. He knew it was the largest illegal gambling den under Han Shifei's control, capable of accommodating five hundred people. It not only offered various entertainment activities but also loan sharking, with enormous profits generated daily.
Because of gambling, countless families had been torn apart, with wives leaving and children scattered. It was undoubtedly one of the biggest scourges.
"According to my informant, the person in charge of the casino tonight is Black Bear, but I suspect Huang Laosan will definitely be there too. I've already gathered our forces, and Director Zhou is personally leading the operation. Do you want to come and watch the excitement?"
Xiao Guodong asked.
"Director Zhou is personally leading? That's great! I'll definitely be there!"
Qin Chuan's eyes shone.
As soon as he finished his call with Xiao Guodong, another call came in. This time it was from Zheng Chengdao.
"Boss, why is your phone always busy?"
"I received reliable news that the casino in the southern part of the city has opened, and many gamblers are heading there now."
Qin Chuan nodded. "Captain Xiao just called and told me the same thing. His side is already gathering forces, and Deputy Director Zhou Zongrong is personally leading the operation. I'm planning to go and watch the excitement too!"
"Deputy Director Zhou personally leading? This is going to be big!"
Even the usually steady Zheng Chengdao was startled, followed by intense excitement.
"Yes, tell the brothers to be careful. This time, we're just providing support; the police are the main force!"
"I'm about to head out!"
"Oh, by the way, is my second brother with you?"
Zheng Chengdao replied, "Yes, boss. Qin Gang is right beside me!"
"Good!"
After hanging up, Qin Chuan kissed Li Ya on the cheek. "Be good, sister! I'll be back!"
"I'm going too!"
Suddenly, Li Ya spoke up.
Qin Chuan, who had already gotten out of bed and was putting on his shoes, was taken aback. "What are you going for?"
"Of course, to watch the excitement! I heard everything you said on the phone just now!"
"Such a big spectacle, I absolutely have to see it!"
With that, Li Ya nimbly slipped out of bed and began to freshen up.
"Fine, we'll just be watching the show from the car anyway."
Qin Chuan agreed after a slight hesitation. A few minutes later, the two of them got dressed and went downstairs. They called out to their eldest brother, who lived in the corrugated iron shed. Qin Yang immediately came out, and Chen Jinyu was with him.
"Let's go, we're driving to the south of the city!"
"Are we finally taking action?"
A hint of excitement appeared on Qin Yang's face. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Boss, I want to go too!"
Chen Jinyu said.
"Okay, we're all going!"
"Jinyu, you're a good driver, you drive!"
Qin Chuan said.
"Got it!"
Chen Jinyu happily started the car. Qin Chuan and Li Ya sat in the back seat, with Qin Yang in the passenger seat. Soon, the Santana disappeared into the night.
About half an hour later, the Santana arrived at a remote area, far from the main urban district, truly desolate.
All around were dense forests and low-lying bungalows, very backward. Even during the day, it was sparsely populated.
Yet, in such a place, was Yongnan County's largest underground casino.
Because the casino was actually built deep underground, people said it was a military supply depot from wartime, and the place was very spacious.
Along the way, the four people in the car saw many people riding bicycles or motorcycles, rushing forward excitedly, faster than the Santana.
These people were almost all dressed ordinarily, and many could be seen at a glance as being from ordinary families with little money. Yet, this group of people was so excited at this moment, rushing forward without regard for their safety, their expressions like cats smelling fish.
"A bunch of gamblers, they deserve to lose everything!"
Li Ya couldn't help but curse.
"There's a reason for the pitiful; if Han Shifei, that old scoundrel, hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't bother with their lives!"
"I detest gambling and drugs the most!"
Qin Chuan said lightly.
Frugal in real life but extravagant in casinos – that described this group of people perfectly. They were standard gamblers!
"Boss, did you miss something?"
Chen Jinyu, who was driving, couldn't help but say after hearing this.
"Did I? I don't think so!"
Qin Chuan looked confused.
"Heh heh!!"
Chen Jinyu, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh. The sound was one that any man would understand, and even Qin Yang in the passenger seat chuckled.
"A bunch of dirty men, a leopard can't change its spots!"
Li Ya muttered under her breath. Being intelligent, how could she not realize what Qin Chuan had missed?
Then, a small hand quietly reached under Qin Chuan's ribs, and Qin Chuan began to grimace.
"Screech!!"
Just then, the slowly moving Santana suddenly stopped. Two dark figures had suddenly darted out from the roadside.
"It's Zheng Chengdao and Qin Gang!"
Qin Yang quickly said.
Qin Chuan rolled down the window and poked his head out to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Chuan, the car can't go any further. There's a checkpoint ahead. Han Shifei's men will inspect everyone. If we continue, we'll be exposed!"
Second Brother Qin said quickly.
"Damn, that strict?"
Qin Chuan showed a surprised expression, experiencing the unique nature of the casino for the first time. It was very much like a well-trained unit.
But he quickly calmed down and showed a look of realization.
What kind of person was Han Shifei? He had been rampant in Yongnan County for over thirty years, becoming the underground emperor of Yongnan County, nicknamed "King Han." If such a person opened a casino, he would naturally be meticulous and ensure top-notch security.
Since ancient times, security has always been paramount for any illegal activity.
Without absolute security, how could customers be attracted?
In this regard, Qin Chuan believed that an old fox like Han Shifei would have already mastered it to perfection.
