Chapter 272: Sent Bar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The villa was exceptionally quiet in the wee hours of the morning. Any slightest sound would be magnified.

Qiu Tong came out of the children’s room and was about to return to her bedroom to rest, she saw that the door to the guest room where Qiu Rong was staying was ajar. A shadow flashed past the dim room.

Feeling uneasy, she walked softly to the door and pushed it open as she knocked on it.

Sitting on the wheelchair, Qiu Rong’s back view was still regal. He dropped his gaze, as if he was angry at her.

Qiu Tong pushed him to the bed and squatted down in front of him. She asked helplessly, “Dad, what are you angry about?”

Qiu Rong looked into her eyes, unable to speak.

There was no way to change Jin Yang’s identity. The longer Qiu Tong interacted with him and the deeper their relationship grew, the greater the pain they would suffer in the end. Qiu Rong knew very well that those high-ranking officials were used to sweet-talking and deceiving others. Their current promises were just an illusory bubble. He didn’t want to see his daughter get hurt again.

While Qiu Tong and Jin Yang were interrogating the prison guard in the basement, Qiu Rong had played with the children.

Qiu Xingyu had been praising Jin Yang the whole time. Qiu Xingyuan had always been a boy of few words but he expressed his willingness to accept Jin Yang as their father. Qiu Rong felt even more uneasy. He wanted to persuade Qiu Tong to move out of the villa, but he didn’t know what to say.

Qiu Tong misunderstood his concern and said softly, “Dad, Jin Yang treats me very well.”

“Previously, I avoided his good intentions because I felt that being associated with high officials would bring trouble. I’m not alone. I still have Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu to take care of. I won’t be able to withstand…”

Qiu Rong nodded, but she continued, “But Jin Yang is different. He genuinely treats us well.”

“And he has the ability to protect us. I know you’re afraid that I’ll get involved in danger, but you’ve seen what happened in prison!”

“The human modification plan has already implicated the Qiu family. We can’t distance ourselves completely. All those forces want information on the plan. They chased after Ye Luan and even wanted to kill you. Do you still think we can hide? Where are we going to hide? Their reach is everywhere…”

Qiu Rong frowned in silence. He understood her reasoning, but he was unwilling to admit it.

Over the years, he had kept all his secrets and hid in prison, trying to make the outside world forget it all, but it was clearly useless. The storm would not stop just for anyone.

Qiu Tong placed her face in Qiu Rong’s aged palm and rubbed it against him as if she was a child. “Dad, I don’t know what you’re worried about, but Jin Yang is trustworthy. I hope you can support and believe in my choice and slowly let time prove it…”

“I will resolve this!”

Qiu Rong hugged her and sighed for a long time without saying anything else.

Before Qiu Tong left, Qiu Rong looked at her back profile and said softly, “I’m sorry, Tongtong. It’s Daddy’s fault.”

…

Three days later, Qiu Tong appeared at the entrance of the Sent Bar.

She looked beautiful and delicate. Her chestnut brown curly hair was draped over her collarbone, and her sexy leather jacket outlined her graceful figure. The moment she appeared, she attracted countless hooligans to whistle at her, becoming the focus of the bar.

The waiter guided her to the bar counter. “Hello, Miss. Is this your first time here?”

Qiu Tong took out a few bills and gently kissed them, leaving behind traces of lipstick. She then stuffed them into the waiter’s collar. She said charmingly, “A friend introduced me. He said that you have a place here where you can gamble. Can you bring me there, handsome?”

The waiter’s ears turned red and he was in a fluster as he led Qiu Tong to the casino on the second floor.

“You can exchange your chips here and choose a gambling table.”

“But you’d better not try the roulette. The stakes there are very high. Every night, many gamblers end up owing huge debts.”

The waiter spoke softly. He had good intentions and couldn’t bear to see such a beautiful woman fall into the depths of gambling addiction.

However, he didn’t expect Qiu Tong to walk straight towards the biggest betting counter.

She placed all her chips neatly on a number. The dealer was surprised by her action. Qiu Tong acted as if she didn’t notice his expression. She just twirled her hair with her fingers.

“Let’s begin…”

The roulette wheel spun, and the gamblers held their breaths until it stopped. The number was as Qiu Tong predicted. The dealer pushed a thick stack of chips at her. “Congratulations, you’re very lucky.”

Qiu Tong picked up two chips and played with them between her fingers as she pushed the rest of chips to the same number again.

The surrounding gamblers gasped. They were all shocked by the stubbornness in her eyes. Even the dealer paused for a moment. It was rare for a gambler to dare to repeat her bet!

Qiu Tong could feel countless pairs of eyes secretly scrutinizing her. Her goal had been achieved. She grinned and said lightly, “It’s my lucky number. I believe it can bring me wealth.. Please begin.”
