Soon, the grand opening of Liansheng Fang attracted a lot of people, with decorations and lights attracting a crowd of onlookers, and guests streaming in like fish. Su Mingyu greeted the visitors at the entrance of Liansheng Fang, while Su Huairou was busy with Gongbu and sent Qian Rong to deliver a congratulatory gift. When he heard that Jin Biao was not present today, he couldn't help feeling surprised, especially since there had been no news from him for several days, planting a seed of doubt in his heart.

Just as Su Mingyu was preparing to inform Yun Xiang of this matter, unexpectedly, Tang Xiao arrived with a group of people, presenting Jin Biao's sword as a gift. Su Mingyu angrily questioned Tang Xiao about where Jin Biao was hiding, but Tang Xiao didn't pay him any attention and instead spoke with Yun Xiang, mocking his cold nature. He knew that Jin Biao was still busy with the opening preparations despite being imprisoned, but didn't mention anything about his safety, clearly being in the same category as Wen Cong.

Yun Xiang was not angered by him, but instead used his gambling habits to propose a bet of three rounds to determine the winner. Tang Xiao immediately agreed, putting up half of his estate as collateral. The terms of the bet were that if Yun Xiang lost, he would become a slave in Tang Xiao's household. Yun Xiang readily agreed and used the excuse of writing the bet agreement to secretly inform Shu Yanan to quickly find out Jin Biao's whereabouts.

Considering Tang Xiao's treacherous nature, Yun Xiang warned Shu Yanan to remember that their mission was to determine whether Jin Biao was safe and not to take unnecessary risks. He also advised her to protect herself, as he had already planned for every contingency. Although Shu Yanan complained about Yun Xiang being too talkative, she was secretly overjoyed and touched by his concern. Yun Xiang couldn't help but kiss her as he watched her brave and heroic figure.

In the dungeon, Jin Biao learned that Tian Hu was also under Tang Xiao's control and was devastated. He swore to kill Tang Xiao at all costs. Shu Yanan infiltrated Tang Xiao's mansion and found the dungeon, where she saw many young girls who were imprisoned and suffered from daily abuse, leaving them broken and mentally unstable.

Shu Yanan opened the cell door, but some of the girls were too scared to step out. Fortunately, Shu Yanan didn't waste too much time and quickly found Jin Biao. However, the place where Jin Biao was being held was heavily guarded. Just as she broke the lock on the door, it triggered a mechanism that caused Jin Biao to fall into a cellar. The cellar door closed tightly, and a thick poisonous fog filled the area.

Seeing this scene, Shu Yanan quickly covered her nose with a prepared cloth and arrows flew around her. With her agile movements, she escaped at a lightning-fast speed, even confusing those who had set the traps. It was amazing that she was able to escape the poisonous fog. Since Shu Yanan didn't have a good chance of winning, she had to retreat to Liansheng Lane. At this moment, Yun Xiang and Tang Xiao were already gambling in public.

In the first round, Tang Xiao played unexpectedly and grabbed a maid by the neck, asking if Yun Xiang knew if the person could live to be eighteen. This question was cruel and treated human life as a joke. Yun Xiang had to endure it in order to save the maid's life. Qian Rong and Mo Bufan, who were watching on the second floor, cursed Tang Xiao for his despicable and shameless actions.

Tang Xiaoneng came to compete with Yun Xiang and was well prepared. In the second round, it was Yun Xiang's turn to guess the word. He and Su Mingyu had prepared in advance and cooperated with each other. They guessed the word "winter" that Tang Xiaoneng wrote. Ke Menglan took out a note from the box to confirm Yun Xiang's guess and let everyone present witness it. Tang Xiaoneng's face changed dramatically. He knew that Yun Xiang must have cheated, but he couldn't find any evidence.

Shu Yanan earnestly requested that Mo Bufan send a shadow to watch the dungeon of Tang Xiaoneng's mansion to prevent Jin Biao from being transferred there. Mo Bufan learned that Shu Yanan was poisoned but unharmed and was somewhat skeptical of what she said. Facing Mo Bufan's doubt, Shu Yanan explained that she had taken an antidote beforehand and could hold on for a while. Mo Bufan did not continue to question her and sent his men to watch Tang's mansion.

Meanwhile, Ke Menglan observed Tian Hu calmly and found that she seemed even more abnormal. So far, the two had fought to a tie and quickly came to the crucial third round. Tang Xiaoneng was afraid that Yun Xiang would cheat, so he sat next to him. Yun Xiang proposed to compete with Tang Xiaoneng on the future three-day revenue of two gambling houses. Su Mingyu was surprised to hear this, but Tang Xiaoneng readily accepted the challenge. After all, his Tang family had many famous stores, and he was sure to win this round.
