Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: Infernal Labyrinth 18
Lu Junsheng nervously pulled An Jiayi around to look, saying: “He didn’t hurt you, did he? ”
Liuli shook her head. Facing Lu Junsheng, Liuli used a different approach: “Lu Sheng, I found Liang Chen in the car’s driving recorder video. You’ll help me, right! ”
The best thing is to let Lu Junsheng and Liang Chen turn on each other, giving her a chance to evade Lu Junsheng’s surveillance and investigate further.
“Of course! ”
Liuli gave herself a mental pat on the back for her cleverness. Now Lu Junsheng wouldn’t suspect Zhou Yonghou’s identity, nor would he suspect her again. Even if he knew she was an undercover agent before, now that she had a feud with the higher-ups in the Police Force, whether she was an undercover agent or not didn’t matter anymore.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. I’ll help you. Let’s go to Macao tomorrow to relax, and then splurge at the casino to change your mood. ”
“Okay, Lu Sheng, thank you so much. ”
“If you want to thank me, then promise me that you’ll have fun on this Macao trip. ”
He had learned An Jiayi’s measurements when buying her a dress last time. This time, for the Macao trip, he specifically asked the butler to order a custom-made outfit. He would give it to her as a surprise when they arrived in Macao.
Liuli returned home and fell asleep on the bed. Tuánzi, however, was anxious, pacing back and forth. Didn’t the Star Lord of Fate say this world would be great to ship? It’s almost a BE (Bad Ending), what’s there to ship? Force them to be a couple? …
Liuli also reflected on her own issues. Since experiencing Lin Yao’s life as a half-soul, she found that she could better empathize with the host body’s personality and would live according to their original life trajectory.
This way, she wouldn’t easily blow her disguise, but she wouldn’t be able to do everything to stay by Bai Ye’s side when she met him. Therefore, her disguise was blown quickly back then, and she didn’t care about that.
If in this small world, she had also revolved around Zhou Yonghou instead of following the host body’s original life trajectory to investigate An Zhaotang’s cause of death and continue her undercover mission, the situation might have been different.
But she was only here to help Jianbing undergo tribulation. As long as she could help, she didn’t have to revolve around him, did she?
On Friday, Liuli packed a few clothes and took a small travel bag downstairs.
Lu Junsheng’s car was already waiting downstairs. Unsurprisingly, Zhou Yonghou wasn’t driving today. It seemed that yesterday’s act had a good effect.
Upon arriving at the Macao hotel, her door was knocked on shortly after. She saw Lu Junsheng through the peephole and opened the door: “Lu Sheng, are you going out? Wait for me five minutes, I’ll tidy up. ”
“No rush, no rush. I’m here to give you a gift. Take a look later and see if you like it. ”
“After such a long car ride this morning, get some rest first. We’ll go for lunch at twelve o’clock. ”
“I hope you like this gift. ”
Lu Junsheng spoke so seriously; Liuli didn’t want to respond too formally: “I’ll open it later and take a look. ”
After Lu Junsheng left, Liuli opened the gift bag. Inside were several small boxes and one large box. Looking at the brand logos on the boxes, she roughly guessed what they were.
Liuli first opened the largest box. Inside was a black knee-length dress. Unlike the fully jeweled style from last time, this one had a more stylish design.
The black knee-length skirt was made of three layers of black tulle. The outer layer of thin tulle floated like smoke, the middle layer of hard tulle supported a lively wave-like curve, and the innermost layer of tightly woven lace revealed faint butterfly wing patterns.
The black tulle straps were fastened at the back of the neck with mother-of-pearl buckles, extending into two thin pleats of tulle that gathered from the collarbone towards the shoulder blades, meeting at the hollow of the spine.
A lace ribbon hung from the right waist, embroidered with vine patterns. At the end hung a lily-of-the-valley-shaped luminous Liuli, emitting a bluish-white glow in the dark. It was luxurious while also full of detail.
The other boxes contained matching jewelry and shoes, all high-end custom-made items from various big brands. It was clear that the other party had put a lot of thought into this gift.
Although she was indifferent to Lu Junsheng, as a control group, she had essentially crushed Zhou Yonghou.
As night fell, Liuli put on the dress and jewelry Lu Junsheng gave her, applied light makeup, and went downstairs to meet Lu Junsheng.
Lu Junsheng stared at An Jiayi, his eyes widening: “With a face like snow and jade, and lips like stained red pearls, An An, you are truly beautiful. ”
“Am I not usually pretty? ”
“You’re pretty usually, but you’re especially pretty today. ”
Liuli didn’t humble herself: “Yeah, I think so too. Lu Sheng, I really like the gift you gave me. ”
“I’m glad you like it. Let’s go, let’s go gamble. ”
This time, the chips Lu Junsheng exchanged were different from those of other gamblers. Lu Junsheng directly exchanged some chips for a share of MD jade mine equity documents and non-Z diamond mines, and then through war insurance compensation, created another complete money laundering path.
This time, Liuli didn’t hide it anymore. She directly installed a miniature camera on the necklace pendant and recorded everything along the way. There would always be useful evidence to hand over to the police, such as the part where chips were just exchanged.
When they arrived at the casino, Liuli didn’t deliberately look for Zhou Yonghou. After all, this was also a form of protection for him.
Lu Junsheng didn’t take Liuli directly to the poker table. Instead, after communicating with a staff member, he took Liuli to the surveillance room. The person in charge found a video recording and played it for them.
Liuli quickly found An Zhaotang’s figure among the numerous people in the video. He had exchanged 20 million Cambodian riels, a week before An Zhaotang’s death.
But in the email Lu Junsheng sent her earlier, it was ultimately Yishun who transferred this account to a Cambodian casino…
Liuli felt her brain was about to short-circuit. A key intermediary node was missing; she couldn’t figure out the situation at all.
Leaving the surveillance room, Liuli asked: “Lu Sheng, is there a way to see the cross-border funds pool between casinos? ”
Lu’s also does cross-border trade, and has clearly been to many places. Looking at the cross-border funds pool could not only check An Zhaotang’s cash flow but also investigate Lu’s money laundering chain, killing two birds with one stone.
The casino’s person in charge, seeing a business opportunity, enthusiastically introduced: “As long as Lu Sheng loses all his chips to us, we can show you. ”
Before Liuli could politely refuse, Lu Junsheng quickly agreed: “No problem, take us to the poker table. ”
With someone leading the way, they quickly arrived at a poker table with extremely bad luck. None of the gamblers at this table had made any money. Occasionally, they would win a small amount, but it was always less than one-tenth of their stake.
Whether it was fate’s guidance or not, at this poker table, she saw Zhou Yonghou in disguise – he was the dealer at that table.
After that one glance, both Zhou Yonghou and Liuli avoided eye contact.
Lu Junsheng didn’t care who the dealer was. He put a million chips on the table, aiming to lose. How much he put didn’t matter, it was just that pushing too many chips at once would unbalance the table’s funds; doing it too obviously would also be a problem for the casino.
