Chapter 769: Chapter 770: Thunderous Wrath
Last month, there was a severe robbery incident here, causing many fishermen to die, and the supplies and food they held were all stolen.
The local County Lord was furious and sent people to tirelessly capture them and retrieve all the fishermenās supplies.
However, the adversaries were deeply hidden in the mountains and forests, and their abilities were insufficient, so they had to seek help from Pingjing, as this island was under contract with the Sea Merchant Company.
Today, they were going into the deep mountains. Without communication tools, Li Tingyan found some time to call Nianyang.
Nianyang reminded him to be careful and also casually told him about the gemstone gambling matter.
The couple always had no secrets between them.
Li Tingyan knew Nianyang had the ability to see through things, that there would be no problem with gemstone gambling, but still advised, "Nini, there are all kinds of people in the underground Gambling Stone City. Even if you can gamble, donāt stand out too much, lest you attract unwanted attention. Got it?"
Nianyang had certainly considered this, "I know, Iāll act as if Iām just trying my luck. I have discretion."
Time passed quickly, and three days later, the large gemstone gambling event that shook the commercial circle in Pingjing finally arrived.
Today, she was representing the Ruan Family, so she couldnāt dress too casually. Hence, Nianyang wore a formal and slightly mature black long gown.
Her hair was all neatly tied up, with her bangs brushed away, revealing a smooth and beautiful forehead, complemented by a gentle makeup, making her look very intelligent and courteous.
Looking like this, she appeared much more dignified without losing elegance and nobility, the youthful innocence completely gone from her.
The Ruan Family sent a special car to pick up Nianyang. Nianyang didnāt tell her family about the gemstone gambling, fearing they would worry and disinclined to explain, she just said she was attending a banquet with the Ruan Family, and both the Chu and Li families didnāt think twice.
After all, Nianyang didnāt have to go to school every day now, her medical clinic was taken care of, sheās practically a part-time shopkeeper, her time is very free, and Li Tingyan was often not at home. If she didnāt have some entertainment, she would be bored.
Nianyang smoothly got into the Ruan Familyās car, and after more than half an hour, the car arrived at the entrance of the underground Gambling Stone City.
This is actually the only legitimate business city in Pingjing related to gambling that can be opened, rumored that a single stone cut can increase oneās wealth by billions, or a single cut can lead to bankruptcy.
Too many people want to get rich quick with a single stone cut and come here to gamble.
Getting out of the car, there were many people coming and going around, all dressed gloriously, as expected, only wealthy people could afford to come to the Gambling Stone City, itās indeed a money-draining skeleton!
"Nianyang girl." Ruan Weidong also arrived, shouting from afar, a well-dressed young man followed him, presumably Ruan Weidongās son. His hair was neatly combed, with handsome and striking features, quite an attractive young man.
"Uncle Ruan."
Nianyang nodded in acknowledgement, Ruan Weidong panted slightly, "Sorry about that, the traffic jam made you wait a long time."
Nianyang shook her head, "No, no, I just arrived too. Is it just you, Uncle Ruan? Didnāt Aunt Ruan come?"
Ruan Weidong replied with a grimace, "Thereās a lot of busy business at the company recently, she has to stay and hold the fort, so I brought my son Ruan Jinhua."
Ruan Jinhua nodded slightly to greet Nianyang, "Hello, Iāve long heard my father say youāre a Divine Doctor, you previously cured my fatherās illness, havenāt had a chance to thank you."
