Chapter 94: A Warning
"That should be considered done, right?"
"This, this is impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu simply flicked her sleeve to make sure nothing was shaken off, and the man was at a loss for what to do.
He pushed the money on the table into Song Miqiu's hand, then washed the dominoes and personally distributed them to everyone.
"Looks like my luck is still on."
Upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, the man's brows furrowed once more, and it took him a long time to finally lift his head with difficulty.
"Looks like you're really lucky. Want to play for high stakes with us?"
"I'm really sorry, I'm not planning to continue playing."
After all, it was already late, and if we didn't go back soon, we would run into a lot of trouble.
Song Miqiu stood up and turned to leave, but then, remembering what had happened earlier, he took out a piece of silver that was even larger than the one he had just borrowed and threw it to the man who had asked for the money.
"I've been incredibly lucky, but I've still managed to save some money. That's all for today."
"How about I come another day?"
As soon as he said these words, Song Miqiu could feel the strange looks from the people around him, and he couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Just as he was about to run away, his arm was forcibly held down and he was unable to move.
"What are you doing?!"
Just as Song Miqiu was about to use his internal force to shake it off, he heard Yu Huailin's voice.
"You really know how to cause trouble; you can attract other people's attention so easily."
As expected, it caused quite a stir.
Song Miqiu sighed inwardly, still wanting to handle things properly, when she suddenly felt a pain in her body, and a moment later she landed on another solid shoulder.
"It's not like I can't fight back. What you're doing is just making me a burden."
"Do you want everyone to see all your cards?"
Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu, who had originally intended to land on her own, could only look up and point the way to the other side.
Although not exactly in a sorry state, there were still quite a few people chasing after him, making him stand out even more.
Just as Song Miqiu was about to speak up and explain the situation, Yu Huailin suddenly stopped and walked towards another place.
"Slipped them off?"
"No, I'm just taking a short rest."
rest?
Song Miqiu looked up at the deserted alley behind her, and before she could think about it for a moment, her arm was grabbed again.
"They've caught up? How come they're following so closely?"
"I only made a little money."
Song Miqiu shook the money pouch containing his money next to Yu Huailin's ear, and then it was thrown to the ground.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she was about to get up when she saw the disbelief in the other person's eyes.
"You managed to get so much in just one hour?"
“Someone asked me to lend them money, so I thought I’d give it a try. Who knew it would get out of control like this, and I even helped others make a lot of money.”
Yu Huailin, who was already somewhat taken aback, couldn't help but let out another sigh upon hearing the last sentence.
No wonder it turned out like this.
Seeing the expression on his face, and glancing at the money bag that was even heavier than his own when he left home, Song Miqiu didn't know what to do.
But it's absolutely impossible for her to truly let go.
Just as Song Miqiu was trying to hide the item elsewhere, another voice came from the side.
"Looks like they've caught up again, now they're climbing up."
"By the way, have you noticed that the effects of the medicine have worn off?"
In other words, he could have completely ignored the old woman's safety, so why did he come back?
Yu Huailin ignored the question, and with a calmer expression, he lifted the person onto his back, preparing to rush out through another passage.
But what no one expected was that just as they were about to rush out, another group of people stood in front of them.
Yu Huailin immediately turned around, still wanting to leave in the direction he came from.
Unfortunately, the area behind them was already filled with armed men, so they could only stand still and not move, unable to use force.
"You two are really something. In just one hour, you not only beat my people in the gambling den to a pulp, but you also won most of my gambling money."
This little bit is already more than half?
The way he said it sounded like extortion.
Although she said this, Song Miqiu did not dare to say it aloud. Instead, she looked at Yu Huailin, who was unable to move, with even more worry.
What should we do?
"Wait."
Upon hearing this word, Song Miqiu couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to ask who they were waiting for, she saw a person dressed in overly luxurious clothes staggering over.
"Have mercy!"
A quick glance revealed the truth of the matter, and she naturally stopped what she was doing, hiding the money pouch behind her back.
"You're still thinking about this money at a time like this?"
"This is all money I earned through my own hard work, why shouldn't I take it? Besides, you've already blocked my biggest source of income, haven't you?"
Yu Huailin frowned, thinking of saying that there was a reward from the Crown Prince, but when he saw the gaze that the man was casting, he frowned again.
"If you two have finished talking, would you please step out and leave with me?"
"Feel sorry."
Song Miqiu habitually apologized, then realized what was going on and let out another sigh.
He stuffed the money directly into his pocket and glanced indifferently at the valuable jade pendant hanging from the man's waist.
Although there are not many decorations, the single character on it is enough to explain everything.
Looking at the group of people who had retreated and their overly respectful manner, Song Miqiu knew that they were doing so because of what the jade pendant represented, and let out another sigh.
"The identity of the Crown Prince is really useful."
Be careful what you say.
Of course, Song Miqiu knew what this meant, but he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before looking at Yu Huailin beside him.
Seeing a strange look in his eyes, his brows furrowed again.
"Divine Physician, the Crown Prince knows you like those things and has already prepared them for you. Why do you still want to go to that filthy place?"
"Filth? Aren't you saying that place shouldn't exist? Then why hasn't anyone dealt with it?"
If something exists, it must have a reason; let's see how he tries to refute it.
But to Song Miqiu's surprise, the man only paused slightly before turning his gaze directly to Yu Huailin.
"So those are the places you want to go, right?"
"Obviously..."
Before Song Miqiu could finish speaking, Yu Huailin was already subdued by the crowd that rushed in and forcibly taken into the woodshed in the corner.
Before he could even stand up straight, the whip beside him whistled through the air and struck his body.
"You're just an apprentice, yet you dare to instigate your master to cause trouble everywhere! You're really asking for death!"
"If it weren't for the Crown Prince's brilliance, do you think we could have escaped from that ruthless place so easily?"
Questions continued to rise from within, but they were not directed at Yu Huailin, but at Song Miqiu, who was being held back outside.
