"What's wrong?"

Shiya Jie noticed that Yang Yan seemed a bit distracted, so she couldn't help but ask him.

Winning so many rounds in one go gave her quite a sense of satisfaction.

At the same time, she couldn't help feeling a bit anxious about her gains as well.

Except for the first two rounds where Yang Yan specifically instructed to bet everything, she only bet twenty thousand chips on each subsequent round, and after these more than ten rounds, with the original capital, she had just over two hundred thousand.

She also thought that it would be great if she could help Wang Xue cover the expenses for this trip to the US all at once.

"Forget it, let's stop!" Yang Yan waved his hand, "The capital has already increased tenfold, it's time to cash out. Too bad we also let the people around win quite a bit, yet they won't even say thank you."

"Besides, this is Blitz's venue after all, continuing to win doesn't seem right to Blitz!"

Hearing this, Shiya Jie put away her chips and obediently stood up.

In her heart, she wasn't particularly fond of gambling.

Standing next to her, Wang Xue, felt even more so.

Because of her brother's situation, she utterly detested both gambling and drugs.

As the three stood up, planning not to wager further, the gamblers around them who had a streak of success showed disappointed expressions on their faces.

Someone even said:

"Buddy, you've already won ten times in a row, why not keep going? Take advantage of the good luck and keep winning!"

Hearing this, many people around couldn't help but chime in.

Those who had been betting along with Yang Yan and the others had already made quite a bit of money.

Some bold, or rather, more addicted gamblers, had even won over a million US Dollars.

"People need to learn to be content, only then can they enjoy peace. We've won this much already; it's enough."

Yang Yan said with a smile, effectively turning them down.

The man saw that Yang Yan truly had no intention to continue playing, so he didn't insist, gave a faint smile, and went off to play by himself.

"Let's go, it's getting late, time to head back. And let's give you a look at the other side of Gambling City."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"What other side?"

Shiya Jie asked in confusion.

"You've only seen the glamorous side of Gambling City; later, I'll show you the dark side of it."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

Where there's black, there's white; where there's glamour, there's filth. No matter how prosperous a city is, it has its dark side.

Especially in a city as decadent and indulgent as Gambling City.

When the three left the casino's front entrance, many snack stalls were already starting up business outside.

These snack stalls didn't open during the day; only at night, when the big casinos started, would they begin to operate.

They didn't remain closed during the day because they were lazy; these small business owners just had their own wisdom.

When the casino operates, it draws a lot of traffic.

Whoever enters the casino, whether they win or lose, when the game is over and they come out, they'll look for a place to sit here and begin to vent their emotions.

Those who win need not be mentioned; they often tip the owners quite a bit.

And those who lose, as long as the owners can say the right things, they won't be stingy with money either.

All in all, at the end of the night, each food stall usually has quite a considerable turnover.

"Let's go! We didn't feel it in the casino, but now that we're out, I feel hungry! Let's find something to eat!"

Shiya Jie suggested.

"Yeah! Let's go, the snacks around here are pretty good. And, didn't I say I'd show you the other side of Gambling City? You can see it here."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"Boss, what do you have that's good?"

Shiya Jie ignored Yang Yan's remarks and asked in somewhat imperfect English.

"Wow! Not bad, you even speak English,"

Yang Yan was taken aback to hear Shiya Jie speak English.

"Hah! Do you think everyone is like you? I am, after all, a proper graduate student!"

Shiya Jie rolled her eyes at Yang Yan and said, a bit dissatisfied.

However, after she said that, she realized that this guy seemed to speak English better than she did, which made her feel awkward.

The midnight food culture here in Gambling City was actually learned from Huaxia.

Several food stalls, making barbecues and fried snacks, count as midnight snacks.

As the group started to enjoy their hearty meal, a series of screams suddenly came from afar.

"Isn't the public security in the US too bad?"

Shiya Jie frowned as she looked at the distance.

"It's normal! The US doesn't have gun control, so public security is much worse. If you're referring to that over there, you're mistaken; that guy committed suicide."

Yang Yan picked up a piece of fried chicken, chuckled lightly, and then popped it into his mouth.

"Suicide? Why?"

Not only Shiya Jie, but even Wang Xue couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"Why else, lost everything, of course! You two wouldn't still think that everyone who comes here to gamble is a wealthy tycoon, would you?"

Yang Yan quipped.

"Not a tycoon? Why would someone who isn't a tycoon come to gamble?"

Shiya Jie asked, confused.

"Are we tycoons? Didn't we also come to gamble?"

Yang Yan asked with a smile.

"We're not tycoons, but you surely are! A tycoon taking two beauties gambling, look, how fitting is that!"

Shiya Jie teased.

"Uh..."

Yang Yan was at a loss for words after hearing Shiya Jie's comment.

However, thinking carefully, the current situation indeed seemed to be as Shiya Jie described.

"Well, there are quite a few ordinary people who come here to gamble, some brought by friends, others attracted by the fame."

"Maybe in the beginning these people had savings, but once they fell into gambling addiction, no matter how thick their wallets were, it wouldn't be enough."

"And when they ran out of money, of course they'd find ways to get money and keep gambling. The cycle goes on until they're at a dead end, and suicide doesn't seem so strange then."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"How can you still laugh facing such human tragedies? Are you stone-hearted?"

Shiya Jie was displeased seeing Yang Yan's attitude towards such matters.

"What's wrong with me laughing?"

Yang Yan sneered, somewhat disdainfully:

"These people did it to themselves, didn't they? No matter how you got caught up in it, the final decision is always in your own hands, right?"

"If they chose to go all the way to the dark end, there's nothing sympathy-worthy about that."

Yang Yan said seriously, as he watched the ambulance that had already arrived on the scene in the distance.

Yang Yan's words might resonate with Wang Xue!
