The boy maid’s expression darkened as he observed Ruan Qing’s reaction, and his displeasure almost overflowed.
These two indeed knew each other, and their relationship was likely just as he had suspected.
It might even be more intimate than he had imagined.
Perhaps many intimate things had happened between them, making the boy maid nearly mad with jealousy.
Suppressing the darkness in his eyes, the boy maid coquettishly glanced at Ruan Qing, “Guest, it’s really heartless of you to say that.”
“You clearly agreed to let me into your bed.”
Ruan Qing’s face was pale to the point of translucence, his beautiful eyes widened, showing a bit of helplessness and confusion on his face, “No, it’s not like that.”
“He... threatened me.”
But Ruan Qing seemed unsure how to explain further, standing stiffly with his lips pressed together.
The boy maid spoke in a pitiful tone, “But you did agree to let me provide you with special services.”
“It’s not a bet. There’s nothing to be threatened about. You could have completely refused me.”
The boy maid was stating the truth; in this Life and Death Casino, all threats could only be made verbally.
Using force would violate the rules.
And verbal threats could be completely rejected.
Ruan Qing couldn’t possibly claim that the boy maid had threatened him during a bet, as the bet with Su Zhen was just a kiss.
If Su Zhen knew that he had been threatened by the boy maid to win, he would definitely interpret it as Ruan Qing preferring to be threatened rather than kiss him.
Moreover, if the boy maid revealed that he had kissed him in public before...
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he neither refuted the boy maid’s words nor explained anything.
Instead, he silently took the tablet and hesitantly walked towards Su Zhen.
Then he handed it to Su Zhen.
Su Zhen didn’t take it, simply watching Ruan Qing with a faint smile.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing nervously tightened his grip on the tablet and spoke softly, “There is surveillance in the room, you can check.”
“I never touched him.”
The boy maid, hearing this, did not immediately refute, but slightly frowned.
There was no surveillance in the Life and Death Casino’s rooms.
However, the Life and Death Casino’s shop sells surveillance cameras that one could buy and install wherever they wanted.
The boy maid glanced around covertly and indeed saw a surveillance camera in the corner.
It could record everything happening in the room.
Naturally, that included the scenes of him dancing and bumping into walls.
The boy maid’s expression froze instantly.
It was one thing for the young man to see such embarrassing and disgraceful footage, but it was absolutely impossible to let his rival see it.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at the tablet in Ruan Qing’s hand.
Just as Su Zhen was about to take the tablet, it suddenly flew out of Ruan Qing’s hand as if struck by something.
It then smashed hard against the wall.
The tablet instantly shattered into pieces and even sparked the next second, catching fire immediately.
There was no possibility of repair.
Ruan Qing stared in shock at the burning tablet and instinctively tried to put out the fire.
It seemed like it was the only evidence he could use to prove his innocence.
Seeing this, Su Zhen pulled Ruan Qing’s hand, drawing him directly into his embrace.
Ruan Qing instantly found himself sitting on Su Zhen’s lap, with one hand held by Su Zhen and his waist encircled by Su Zhen’s arm.
It was an extremely intimate posture.
Ruan Qing didn’t dare to struggle, stiffly letting Su Zhen hold him, looking very obedient.
He helplessly bit his lower lip and spoke softly, “It wasn’t me.”
Ruan Qing’s voice trembled slightly, as if he was afraid Su Zhen wouldn’t believe him.
Of course, Su Zhen knew it wasn’t the person in his arms. Although the person in his arms was smart enough, he lacked strength.
His body was even weaker than an average person’s, so even if he wanted to do it, he couldn’t.
It was clear who had done it.
Su Zhen continued to hold Ruan Qing, coldly looking at the boy maid.
The boy maid, watching the obediently held person, lost his smile as well, his eyes reflecting the same coldness as Su Zhen’s.
The atmosphere in the room was terrifyingly tense, with danger spreading.
***
At this moment, it was already past three in the morning. Most of the gamblers had gone to rest, leaving the first floor of the Life and Death Casino much emptier and quieter than before.
However, the casino staff remained diligent in their duties. Even if there were no gamblers at their tables, they still stood by their tables with smiles on their faces.
Ruan Qing was currently sitting at the same mahjong table as before.
Also seated at the table were Su Zhen, the boy maid, and a Life and Death Casino staff member.
Ruan Qing initially thought the two were going to fight, but to his surprise, Su Zhen actually adhered to the rules of the Life and Death Casino.
They used a gambling match to resolve any disputes.
This round was still mahjong, but the stakes were entirely different from the last time.
This time, they were gambling with their lives.
Mahjong would have only one winner, which meant only one of the four players would survive.
Ruan Qing had no desire to gamble; he didn’t want to stake his life against these two.
But he had no choice and could only sit at the table, thinking of a solution in his mind.
The current situation was indeed dire for him, but it might also be an opportunity.
After all, only one person would come out alive in this game.
And his chance of being that person was not zero.
Ruan Qing looked down at his fingertips, a hint of madness in his eyes.
The atmosphere at the gambling table was extremely dangerous, so much so that even the staff member noticed.
If it were usual for three gamblers to bet their lives, the staff would be thrilled.
Because then, he would obtain the lives of three gamblers.
But at this moment, the staff member was somewhat nervous and scared.
He recognized the two men on either side of him; they were forces even the Life and Death Casino staff might not be able to defeat.
Not to mention the young man sitting opposite him.
The staff member looked at the slender figure of Ruan Qing, his face no longer wearing the usual polite smile, but instead showing a hint of difficulty.
He hesitated a bit before speaking, “How about... we switch to someone else?”
Everyone at the gambling table knew who the switch referred to. Su Zhen glanced at Ruan Qing and said blandly, “No need, he is not part of the stakes.”
The boy maid nodded in agreement. “Yes, he’s just here to make up the numbers, no need to switch.”
The staff member sighed in relief upon hearing this and immediately pressed the shuffle button, no longer having any concerns.
Ruan Qing was stunned.
Because if he wasn’t considered part of the stakes, his plan seemed impossible to succeed.
After all, even if he won the game, it wouldn’t count.
A hint of contemplation appeared in Ruan Qing’s eyes, but he finally lowered his gaze, hiding his expression, and did not voice any objections.
He quietly played his role as a background character.
The game where only one out of three could survive was about to begin.
