"Axiu, I promised to raise money for you, and I will definitely make it happen! Look, what is this?" Seeing the worried look on He Lingxiu's face, Ling Zhenfei smiled indifferently, and then opened the zipper of the bag to show He Lingxiu.

"Ah! Brother Afei, where did you get so much money..."

Seeing the stacks of bright red bills in the bag, He Lingxiu was so shocked she could hardly believe her own eyes.

"This... Axiu, don't worry about where this money came from, I assure you it was obtained legitimately."

Ling Zhenfei dared not tell He Lingxiu that he had won the money through gambling. Moreover, even if he did, he doubted she would believe him.

As for his claim that the money was obtained legitimately, uh... he found that quite amusing himself.

If someone openly declared that money won from a gambling house was legitimate, they risked being drowned on the spot by spit!

"Brother Afei..."

Although He Lingxiu suspected the money was not acquired through ordinary means, she trusted Ling Zhenfei's character and knew he would never do anything outrageously wrong. After thinking it over, she swallowed back the questions she was about to ask.

"How is your dad doing?" Ling Zhenfei didn't want to dwell on this matter since she didn't speak, instead, he glanced inside the house.

"Brother Afei, the prescription you gave is absolutely miraculous. I just brewed the medicine for my dad this morning. After drinking it, he felt much better than before."

"Hmm, the medicine I prescribed is very effective for treating liver diseases. You should consistently complement it with dietary therapy to treat your dad, and he will surely recover."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and took out a stack of money from the bag and handed it to He Lingxiu: "Axiu, here is twenty thousand yuan. Your dad is quite weak right now. After using the medicine for a while and when his body has recovered, you should go to the town and buy some nutritional supplements to strengthen him."

"Brother Afei, I... really can't take your money anymore... I..."

Seeing that Ling Zhenfei not only wanted to help her pay off debts but also offered her extra money, He Lingxiu was moved to the verge of tears.

"Silly girl, we're all family. How could I not help you when you're in trouble?" Ling Zhenfei insisted, stuffing the twenty thousand yuan into He Lingxiu's hands without further discussion.

After leaving the He family's house, Ling Zhenfei headed to the town to find Fourth Brother and express his intention to repay him.

Ling Zhenfei found Fourth Brother at a small gambling house in the town; gambling was rampant throughout the Binyang area.

To say nothing else, just in the tiny Guanqian Town, there were two fairly large small gambling houses and dozens of miscellaneous card rooms.

Fourth Brother was wealthy, most of which he gained from high-interest loans and gambling.

He was constantly engaged in major gambling games every day. When the town's gambling wasn't enough, he would go to the city, the province, and even out of state to gamble. He was a famously notorious gambler far and wide.

Originally, Fourth Brother was sure Ling Zhenfei couldn't possibly raise one hundred ten thousand in such a short period, and after Ling Zhenfei spoiled his good plans, he loathed the young man deeply.

He was just waiting until a week later when Ling Zhenfei couldn't pay the money on time to go and accuse him, planning to humiliate the young man thoroughly!

"Kid, are you really here to pay back the money? Damn, today's luck is just too fucking bad!"

When Ling Zhenfei found Fourth Brother, he was gambling dice with someone.

Whether it was his recent bad luck in gambling or his opponents' strong skills, after several rounds, Fourth Brother kept losing, having lost twenty to thirty thousand so far.

"Of course, Wu Laosi, you've always been urging me to repay the debt, haven't you? Now I've brought the money, so hurry up and bring the IOU!"

Ling Zhenfei flashed the money from his bag to Wu Laosi, who seemed to be losing dismally, and with a teasing tone, chuckled, "Heh, it looks like you're about to lose your pants, right? It's perfect timing that I brought money over, helping you lose a bit more is like sending charcoal in snowy weather, isn't it?"

"Hahaha..." Ling Zhenfei's dry joke instantly triggered a burst of uproarious laughter among the surrounding gamblers.

Especially the Big Man gambling against Wu Laosi, who gave Ling Zhenfei a meaningful glance.

"You... do you know how to speak?"

Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Wu Laosi almost spat blood in anger, but having already experienced Ling Zhenfei's prowess, he dared not lash out. Instead, he took out the IOU, his voice ominous, "Here's the IOU. You're paying off the debt, aren't you? Take it!"

Ling Zhenfei coldly smiled, took the IOU, and after confirming it was correct, he counted out one hundred and ten thousand yuan to Wu Laosi, "Look carefully, it's exactly one hundred and ten thousand. With this, your debt with the He Family is settled. If you dare trouble Axiu again, I won't let you off!"

"You... hmph!" Although Wu Laosi was incredibly angry, he could only snort coldly.

Pretending to ignore Ling Zhenfei, he slapped the freshly received money and said to the Big Man across from him, "Boss Liang, my stakes are enough now. Playing like this isn't very interesting. How about we make it more exciting, what do you think?"

"Playing big? Sure!" Boss Liang's eyes swiveled, a sneaky cold smile leaking from the corner of his mouth, "I wonder how big you want to play, Mr. Wu? I, Liang Yida, am all in!"

"A thousand a round is too small. I think we should up the stakes, ten thousand a round! Do you dare to play that, Boss Liang?"

Wu Laosi, always considering himself fortunate in gambling, did not expect to be continuously frustrated by this Boss Liang today. Anxious to win back his money, he thumped his chest and boisterously called out.

Ten thousand a round!

Hearing Wu Laosi wanted to play so big, the crowd of onlooking gamblers couldn't help but gasp in shock.

You should know, playing dice for ten thousand a round, let alone in this remote Guanqian Town, even in Binyang City, it's considered a high-stakes game.

"Hahaha..."

Hearing the stakes Wu Laosi set, Boss Liang couldn't help but release a sneering laugh, and then burst into loud laughter, "Dare? What's there not to dare? As long as you, Mr. Wu, are willing, not to mention ten thousand a round, even a hundred thousand a round wouldn't make me blink."

"This... well... alright then!"

Wu Laosi intended to intimidate Liang Yida with such high stakes, but it turned out Liang Yida was much more lavish than he'd imagined.

After a battle of gazes, Wu Laosi not only failed to suppress Liang Yida but was instead overpowered.

"Alright, Mr. Wu, then let's begin! I hope raising the stakes brings you some good luck!"

Seeing Wu Laosi's timid demeanor before even starting, disdain deepened in Liang Yida's eyes.

He snapped his fingers at his two bodyguards, and immediately someone presented a cash-filled briefcase.

When the briefcase was opened, and Wu Laosi and the gamblers saw the stacks of glaringly bright money inside, their eyes instantly turned green with envy.

My goodness, so much money, it must be at least a million...

The expressions of the crowd varied, especially Wu Laosi, looking at the money pulled out by others, then at his own pitiful one hundred and some thousand, his expression became particularly animated.
