Chapter 288 Return to the Gambling House

At this time, Chen Xiner also became frightened and shouted, "Don't come over, don't come over." Her voice trembled, full of fear and anxiety.

Dou Zhenghuai said: "Don't worry, we won't touch you for the time being, but if you scream and shout, don't blame us." His voice was full of threats and warnings, making people dare not disobey.

After saying a few more words, he left. The door of the woodshed was closed again, and darkness enveloped Chen Xiner again. Her heart was filled with despair and fear, and she didn't know what to do to escape this predicament.

Outside the woodshed, Dou Zhenghuai and his brothers left. Their figures gradually disappeared in the darkness, as if they had never appeared.

Lin Feng swam out of the river, water dripping from his body. In the moonlight, his figure looked particularly resolute. His hair was wet and stuck to his cheeks, and his eyes revealed a firm determination, as if nothing could stop him from moving forward.

Lin Feng dragged his slightly exhausted body to Chen Yu, a trace of guilt on his face. "Brother Chen, I was wrong about what happened earlier. I'm sorry!" His voice was low and sincere, full of apology. Every word seemed to carry a heavy weight as it uttered from his mouth.

Chen Yu looked at Lin Feng, his eyes devoid of any blame. The moonlight shone on his face, reflecting his generosity and kindness. He said generously, "Everyone is worried about Xin'er. This isn't your fault." His voice was filled with understanding and tolerance, his sincerity felt.

Lin Feng looked at Chen Yu gratefully. He knew how important Chen Yu's understanding and support were at this moment. He nodded slightly, a determined glint in his eyes. "I think I know where Xin'er is." His voice tinged with excitement and anticipation, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Chen Yu suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with surprise and anticipation. Under the moonlight, his figure stood out. "Where?" His voice was anxious and nervous, as if he couldn't wait to know Chen Xiner's whereabouts.

Lin Feng said, "Follow me," and he left, his figure looking particularly determined in the night. Chen Yu watched Lin Feng leave, and then he followed him. His heart was filled with anticipation and worry, wondering if they could successfully find Chen Xiner.

The two of them were silent along the way. The night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness that made people feel particularly heavy. The street was filled with a silent atmosphere, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing on the cobblestones. They had only one thought in their minds, and that was to find Chen Xiner. They quickened their pace and headed towards the gambling house.

Finally, they arrived at the gambling house. It was no longer as bustling as it had been during the day, replaced by a complete silence. The gambling house's doors were closed, and the clerks inside were packing up, preparing to close. The dim light that shone through the crack in the door gave people a mysterious and oppressive feeling.

Lin Feng and Chen Yu were about to go in when they were stopped by two people. One of them said, "Sir, we're closed. Please come back tomorrow." His voice was full of impatience, as if he didn't want Lin Feng and Chen Yu to go in. The man was a burly man with a fierce look on his face and a wary look in his eyes.

Lin Feng was furious at the moment. He ignored the two men and walked inside. His eyes revealed a firm determination, as if nothing could stop him. His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

The two men continued to move forward to block the way, their faces showing a hint of anger. "Sir, you can't go in. This place is closed." Their voices were filled with threats and warnings, making people shudder. Their movements were swift and decisive, as if they were guarding something important.

Chen Yu was unyielding now. His eyes betrayed a hint of anger and determination. He stretched out his hands, aimed his palms at their stomachs, and thrust hard. Powerful Qi erupted from his palms like a surging wave. With immense force, it instantly struck the two men who had blocked his path. They were instantly sent flying, slamming heavily onto the table, shattering it. They fainted. The sound of the table shattering was particularly piercing in the quiet of the gambling den.

At this moment, the men inside all ran out and surrounded them. Their faces were filled with fear, not knowing what had happened. They looked at Lin Feng and Chen Yu, their eyes filled with vigilance and uneasiness. Some of them held sticks, while others clenched their fists, ready to respond to any possible danger.

Lin Feng lifted his right foot and stomped forward with all his might. A powerful force of energy spread out in all directions, like a storm. With such immense force, the energy sent those surrounding him flying. Their bodies danced in the air like falling leaves. A look of fear crossed their faces, wondering who Lin Feng and Chen Yu were and how they could possess such formidable power. The gambling house was in chaos, and the guys looked at Lin Feng and Chen Yu in horror, unsure of what to do. Their hearts were filled with fear and uneasiness, as if they had encountered two demons.

Lin Feng and Chen Yu stood in the middle of the gambling house, their eyes revealing a firm determination. They knew they had to find Chen Xiner, no matter what the cost.

Inside the gambling house, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was solemn. Just then, a gentle sound of footsteps could be heard from the second floor. The sound, like a gentle musical note, was exceptionally clear in the silent space. Everyone's eyes simultaneously turned towards the staircase.

A woman in a red, hip-hugging skirt gracefully descended the stairs. Her figure was graceful, each step possessing a unique rhythm. The skirt clung tightly to her body, showcasing her mature and alluring figure to the fullest. She looked to be in her thirties, yet time seemed to have left few marks on her, instead adding a unique charm.

She held a round fan, gently swaying it, its delicate patterns shimmering in the light. A faint smile graced her face, her eyes revealing a confidence and composure. Her voice was captivating, like a heavenly sound tinged with allure. "Sir, if you damage anything here, you'll have to pay for it." Her voice echoed through the gambling house, stirring a wave of emotion.
