Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 955 - 954: Rescue

The man seemed to realize only now that Xu Ke was not some newcomer underling, but their superior. He suddenly lowered his head, adopting a humble posture, resembling a small quail.

Xu Ke watched the man’s display, turned his head, and revealed a faintly mocking smile.

"Clear the debt for those two and never lend them money again," Xu Ke said.

The man showed a hesitant expression, but ultimately swallowed his words and lowly agreed, indicating he understood.

There wasn’t much to see in the casino, just a bunch of frenzied gamblers staring intently at the gambling tables and the chips before them.

No matter their profession or usual demeanor, once inside the casino and seated at the table, their eyes turned red, clothes wrinkled, and their necks and faces flushed from shouting, with veins bulging at temples and necks, transforming ordinary people into demons.

Xu Ke stood on the stairs leading from the first to the second floor, observing the disgraceful display below without any discernible expression, his thoughts a mystery to others.

Suddenly, a table on the first floor became chaotic. Someone jumped onto the table, kicked the croupier, acting like a zombie desperately wanting to devour flesh from a horror movie.

Xu Ke stood on the stairs and heard the man roaring loudly despite the distance, "Impossible, I couldn’t have lost that much money! You must be cheating, it has to be! My luck can’t be this bad, it can’t! This casino is stealing my money, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!"

The man raged wildly, the gamblers around distanced themselves, standing in varied poses at a relatively safe distance, watching the drama unfold, with no one stepping in, and some even applauding.

The croupier, unprepared for this, was kicked by surprise, but quickly engaged in a fight with the man, exchanging blows evenly.

Compared to the man, the croupier had some fighting skills, but the enraged man was like a berserk drugged beast or possessed by a champion fighter, with brute strength, resulting in a draw.

Luckily, the casino’s security was efficient, rushing in with weapons to the disturbance, quickly calming the chaos. The croupier who was hit before was helped away, replaced by a new one, everything soon restored to its previous calm.

Xu Ke witnessed all this, his hand resting on the stair railing, watching the tumult below with disinterest.

No matter how lively it got below, it didn’t stir any interest in Xu Ke, and he felt somewhat bored.

The man standing beside Xu Ke, after being warned, carefully observed Xu Ke’s demeanor. Seeing the disinterest on Xu Ke’s face, he quietly suggested, "Shall I arrange a car to take you back for a rest?"

Xu Ke, hearing the suggestion, glanced at the man, his expression unreadable, neither happy nor sad.

Seeing Xu Ke’s look, the man’s heart skipped a beat, fearing he’d misspoken. He quickly attempted to amend, "I just thought you seemed tired, which is why I spoke out of turn."

Watching the man’s anxious demeanor, Xu Ke remained expressionless, "Do as you suggested."

Oddly, upon hearing Xu Ke agree, the man felt a sense of honor, a strange feeling that quickly vanished, like an illusion.

When Xu Ke returned home, neither Tangtang nor Guoguo were back yet, the house silent with no sound whatsoever.

Looking around the empty house, Xu Ke inexplicably remembered the three women still in Shangjing, a hint of longing welling up in his eyes.

He wished to contact them but reconsidered due to his current status, deciding to bury the longing deep within his heart.

Xu Ke checked the time briefly, estimating the sisters would soon arrive, and began preparing dinner for the three of them.

After preparing the meals, the sisters were still absent. Xu Ke contemplated calling them, but the calls went unanswered.

After trying twice more, the call finally connected, only to hear one of them—whether Tangtang or Guoguo—calling for help before the call abruptly ended.

Xu Ke’s brows furrowed instantly; though unaware of their whereabouts, he knew they were in trouble.

Xu Ke worried about the sisters’ safety, but the main issue was he had no idea where they were. Although Ning City wasn’t large, searching by himself might mean he wouldn’t find them before it was too late.

Fortunately, Xu Ke’s anxiety was short-lived as Tangtang and Guoguo sent him their location.

Using the coordinates, Xu Ke found the sisters.

Upon arrival, he discovered them locked in a small room without windows, only a single door locked from outside, enveloped in darkness.

The sisters, injured and huddled together, trembled at the sound of the opening mic, resembling frightened little quails, pathetically scared.

Speaking of the sisters, after leaving Xu Ke’s home, they embarked on a job search journey, lacking job-seeking experience, having missed the campus recruitment period, struggling to find work alone without impressive resumes.

After a day of fruitless searching, someone approached them, saying their appearances suited their company.

On inquiry, they learned the man was a scout from an agency, seeking girls nationwide for a girl group audition show, selecting 100 participants and ultimately forming a group of 6 to debut.

The scout felt Tangtang and Guoguo’s twin identity had market appeal, handing them his card.

Having found no suitable jobs all day, the sisters decided to give it a try, knowing there was no harm if they failed.

If successful, debuting could lead to better work opportunities and a quicker path to repay debts.
