The two thugs were taken aback that the man managed to resist the temptation to gamble despite having the money. By the time they realized what had happened, the man had already disappeared.
Seeing their chance slipping away, they reluctantly turned their attention back to Jiang Yexun and He Xingzhi.
"You guys seem unfamiliar. How about joining us for a game?" one of the thugs offered.
"No thanks! We're just ordinary folks living our lives. We'd never touch such things, no matter what," He Xingzhi replied apologetically, smiling at the thugs. Without waiting for their reaction, he promptly closed the door.
The thugs muttered curses at the closed door, grumbling, "Cowards."
Inside, Jiang Yexun and He Xingzhi paid no mind to their opinions.
"Brother Ye, do you think the money the man has will last?" He Xingzhi asked curiously.
Jiang Yexun gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you think gamblers can ever be saved?"
