Chapter 440: Chapter 440: A Thousand Waves of Deception (4th Update)
The crowd of onlookers stirred.
Xue An furrowed his brow, ready to speak.
But suddenly, a petite girl dashed over with the whistling of the wind, pushed through the people blocking her way, and charged into the center of the scene.
“Lalan!” Guo Xiaoliang called out, his voice laced with grievance.
The girl was none other than Guo Xiaoliang’s newlywed wife, Cai Lalan. The moment she saw her husband being beaten until his nose bled, her face was instantly covered with frost.
“Who did this!” Cai Lalan demanded coldly.
Liu Wu scoffed, “I hit him? You…”
Liu Wu intended to question Cai Lalan on how she planned to resolve the situation, but he couldn’t finish his sentence.
Cai Lalan had already stepped forward, grabbed Liu Wu, who was a head taller than her, by the shoulders, and over her shoulder, she threw him beautifully.
Bang!
A dull thud.
The onlookers felt a tremble beneath their feet as if the floorboards themselves shook three times from the impact.
Liu Wu almost passed out from the pain, letting out an agonized scream.
“You… you dare to hit someone?”
Cai Lalan dusted off her hands and sneered, “Why shouldn’t I? Should I let you hit my husband then?”
“Get her!” Enraged by embarrassment, Liu Wu roared at the towering security guards standing nearby.
The security guards all closed in.
Some of these guards were even half a head taller than Cai Lalan.
In front of them, Cai Lalan seemed like a little dwarf lost in a land of giants.
Yet still, her face showed not a hint of concern as she extended her hand and showcased a beautiful fighting stance.
The foreign onlookers let out exclamations of surprise, “Kung Fu!”
“Chinese Kung Fu!”
By this time, the security guards had rushed close, one African-American man threw a punch.
Cai Lalan slightly turned her head, dodging the punch, then grabbed the man’s arm and pulled him forward with her momentum.
The African-American man felt as if this seemingly delicate and cute woman possessed infinite strength, forcing his body to involuntarily lurch forward.
Cai Lalan kicked out her foot.
Crack!
The African-American man’s leg broke, losing balance, he flew outward.
Thump!
He fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and couldn’t get up again.
In one move, she had swiftly handled one of the security guards.
The remaining guards palely looked at each other.
Yet Cai Lalan with a face full of disdain simply stretched out her hand, curling her finger, “Come at me all at once!”
The security guards exchanged glances and charged at her.
But they couldn’t even touch the hem of Cai Lalan’s clothes, and she threw them out like bouncing balls.
As she tossed them away, the crowd let out gasps of disbelief.
Xue An couldn’t help but smile.
Cai Lalan’s martial arts skills were indeed impressive.
After all the security guards were down and injured, Cai Lalan proudly walked towards Liu Wu.
Liu Wu backed away in fear.
“Let me tell you, with just this rubbish, I, your madam, don’t care at all! And you dare to hit my husband, don’t you know, only I can hit my husband?” As Cai Lalan spoke, she prepared to strike again.
Just then, a group of fully armed security guards rushed over, pointed their guns at Cai Lalan instantly after assessing the situation.
And then a Caucasian man slowly walked over.
Upon seeing the man, Liu Wu shouted as if he had seen a lifeline, “Mr. Mike, save me quickly!”
Mike glanced at Liu Wu on the ground with a look of disgust, then raised his head to give Cai Lalan a few looks, and sneered, “You actually dare to cause trouble here, do you think you’re very impressive?”
Faced with so many firearms, Cai Lalan’s expression also turned solemn.
Her martial arts were indeed good, but that was limited to hand-to-hand combat, and there was no way she could handle so many armed security guards.
At this moment, Guo Xiaoliang also spoke with a hint of fear, “Lalan, don’t worry about me, just go quickly!”
“Get out! The Cai Family doesn’t have women who abandon their husbands. We can fight it out if we have to!” Cai Lalan said with a stern face.
Just then, a panic-stricken Wu Yu arrived.
She had just received the news that Guo Xiaoliang was suspected of cheating and had been caught, while his wife, Cai Lalan, was fighting with the security guards.
Wu Yu almost fainted when she heard the news, because her biggest fear was that someone in her team would get into trouble, and now that’s exactly what happened.
But being afraid was useless now, so she steeled herself and hurried over.
By the time she arrived at the scene, Wu Yu’s heart went cold.
There were injured security guards all over the ground, some with broken legs, groaning in pain.
And a group of security guards with guns had their muzzles pointed at Cai Lalan and the others.
This situation was ten times worse than Wu Yu had imagined.
But as the team leader, she had no choice but to gather her courage and shout, “Mr. Mike, Lalan, please stop!”
With that, she squeezed through the crowd and walked over.
Seeing her appear, Mike’s expression shifted slightly, “Miss Wu, are these the tourists you brought?”
Wu Yu nodded and said with a bitter smile, “Mr. Mike, there must be some misunderstanding here!”
She knew this Mike.
Knew that he was in charge of the overall security for the Pyramid Casino.
With him stepping in, things got complicated.
At that moment, Liu Wu said, “Misunderstanding? Mr. Mike, don’t listen to their nonsense. This guy with glasses is cheating in our casino!”
“Oh?” Mike’s expression grew even darker upon hearing this.
Casinos hated cheaters the most, and Mike was no exception.
Cheating? When Wu Yu heard this word, she was also taken aback and then turned to look at Guo Xiaoliang.
Guo Xiaoliang called on Zuang Tianqu, “I didn’t cheat! You’re all talking nonsense. It must be because I won so much money, you’re trying to welch on the bet!”
As soon as Wu Yu heard this, her heart sank, knowing things had gone south.
As a casino, the last thing they wanted was for someone to exploit issues related to credibility.
Indeed.
Mike looked so grim his face seemed about to drip water.
Liu Wu scoffed even more, saying, “Winning thirty-five times in a row and still claiming no cheating? That’s a dead duck’s denial if I ever heard one!”
“I’m telling you I didn’t cheat, believe it or not!” Guo Xiaoliang shouted back.
“Cheat or not, you’re coming with me!” Mike said coldly.
The growing crowd of onlookers was bad for the casino’s image.
Yet, Wu Yu felt a chill over her entire body when she heard this.
She knew the kind of methods Mike and his people employed.
If the Guo couple went with them, the best outcome would be severe injuries followed by being dumped in a ditch.
At worst, they might disappear without a trace.
So despite her fear, she still mustered the courage to say, “Mr. Mike, there’s certainly some misunderstanding here, and this tourist of mine is a high-calibre graduate from China’s Tsinghua University, definitely not some cheater…”
Wu Yu couldn’t continue her plea because Mike was looking at her coldly and then said in a stern voice, “Miss Wu, you’re a good person, so I hope you’d better stop getting involved in this! You can’t handle it! Take them away!”
At Mike’s command, the many security guards were about to surge forward, and Cai Lalan was also prepared for the worst.
Just as Wu Yu was succumbing to utter despair, a calm voice came through.
“Quite a show of force here. Since she can’t handle it, let me handle it… how about that?”
