She looked down, it was an email.
Seeing the sender's name, she hesitated for a moment, but clicked on it anyway.
The content of the email is very short:
[You beat Saint at Paradise last night! ? According to the information I just found out, Saint is most likely their boss behind the scenes, you ruined his place! Still twice!]
Shen Li has a headache.
Lu Huai and casually glanced this way, raised eyebrows:
"It seems that it has something to do with me?"
Shen Li was silent for a moment, then handed over the phone:
"An old friend of Uncle Wen's, Uncle Li Yan, is also from Lilan's side. He also knows about us when we came here twice."
Li Yan worked as a hacker for a few years when he was young, but when he got older, he lived a retirement life in Lilan.
I usually play games, help people fix computers, drink tea and bask in the sun when I am free, and live a very leisurely life.
He and Wen Xiao have been good friends for more than ten years, and Wen Xiao learned from him to make tea with a thermos cup later.
Three years ago and this time, he helped Shen Li and Wen Xiao a lot.
"Before, he was also asked to help investigate fake paintings on Lilan's side."
Lu Huaihe nodded, looked at that sentence, and raised his thin lips slightly:
"It's very rare to be able to find this layer."
Saint only appeared twice in Paradise, both because of her.
It is indeed very capable to find out the relationship between Saint and Paradise along the way.
"But—he seems to have misunderstood me a little?" Lu Huai smiled.
Shen Li glanced at him quietly:
"...Isn't it because the identity of the second brother is too tightly concealed?"
Very few people know that Saint is the boss of Paradise, and even fewer people know that Lu Huai is Saint.
Li Yan hasn't returned to China for a long time, and he is in a semi-retired state here. If it wasn't for helping Shen Li and Wen Xiao, he wouldn't be involved in Paradise-related matters, so how could he think of Lu Huai and Wen Xiao.
She bowed her head to type and replied an extremely brief email.
[I already know, besides, I have something to tell you, Uncle Li, Saint is my boyfriend.]
There was no response for a long time, and it wasn't until Shen Li was about to put the phone away that it rang again.
[... So, for the sake of your safety, Wen Xiao and I have been stopping you from coming to Lilan for the past three years. For a long time, the person you offend the most here is your boyfriend! ?]
Shen Li: "..."
In fact, it was not the only reason. She was very annoyed that night and ran to play racing. Although she won in the end, it also scared Wen Xiao a lot.
After that, he never allowed her to come to Leland again.
On the one hand, she had offended too many people here, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she would cause any trouble again.
After Li Yan learned about these things later, it was rare for him to agree with Wen Xiao.
This time when Shen Li said that he would come over, Wen Xiao also called Li Yan specifically to ask him to make more preparations here.
But now it seems that it was a waste of preparation.
Shen Li herself also felt that this was a bit of a problem... But that trip to Lilan really left a very big psychological shadow on Wen Xiao and the others.
In the final analysis, no one is really to blame, it can only be said that it is too coincidental.
She struggled a bit.
[At that time, he was not my boyfriend, and I only found out about this not long ago.]
Li Yan was extremely speechless and didn't bother to answer her.
Lu Huaihe was leaning on the back of the chair, her long legs crossed, her posture was lazy, and she could see the words on the screen with a glance from the corner of her eye.
No wonder he asked her if she had been to Liland before, and she said no.
It turned out that the little girl also knew that she had caused trouble.
but-
"Am I so fierce?" He raised his eyebrows and asked.
Shen Li turned her head and said frankly:
"Uncle Li said Paradise blacklisted me."
After all, Paradise is the largest underground casino in Liland. Although she lost to Saint in the last hand that night, they had obviously seen the card counting before.
Card counters are not welcome in any casino, especially when she's making such a fuss in Paradise.
Lu Huaihe thought for a moment:
"So... everything about Gambler has been wiped clean since that night?"
Shen Li nodded obediently.
The red shield was also made by Li Yan at that time. On the one hand, it was to stop people from Lilan's side from investigating her, and on the other hand, it was to prevent her from causing trouble again.
Lu Huai and An Jing stayed for several seconds before finally laughing.
Paradise seldom pursued information on guests, but Gambler was an exception.
He had really thought about it in the middle. If he had persisted in the investigation at that time, there was a high probability that he would have known Gambler's identity. But after the initial rebuff, he understood what Gambler meant. After much thought, he still chose to respect the other party's wishes.
It's just... If he knew it was her, he would definitely have made a different choice.
"Shen Tangtang, I let you in from the beginning, don't say you don't know."
Shen Li blinked.
I didn't know it before, but after I knew his identity, I recalled the past, and realized that it seemed a little...
Like she left Paradise that night safe and sound.
For example, he has never urged her to pay back the money in the past three years.
For example, she was able to step into Paradise again, and got on the gambling table smoothly.
At the beginning, she only felt that she had lost in a complete mess, and she didn't care about other things at all.
But looking back, Saint did give her room from the very beginning.
"On the blacklist, Gambler is the only one who can enter Paradise again."
Lu Huaiyu lowered his voice, stared into her eyes, raised his thin lips slightly,
"While those words made you angry at the time, but... I do think, Gambler is very interesting."
Over the years, Paradise has only broken the rules against Gambler.
—Lu Huaihe only made an exception for Shen Li.
Shen Li said "Oh", and after a while, said:
"Coincidentally, I also think Saint is very interesting."
Lu Huaiyu laughed and rubbed her hair:
"Then let me ask someone to check the situation on the Seventh Avenue later?"
Shen Li nodded.
Why don't you hug if you have thighs
…
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at Launay's private gallery.
This is an old building with a long history, full of Gothic style.
Beautiful pointed arches, magnificent glass paintings, every place is filled with retro literary atmosphere.
Being able to use such a place as one's own private gallery is enough to see the heritage of the Bershire family.
Lorraine was already waiting for them in the lobby.
Seeing Shen Li and Lu Huaiyu getting out of the car, a smile spread across his face.
"It's finally time for you guys."
With him, there are about five or six people, all of whom seem to have extraordinary temperament.
Luo Nai explained with a smile:
"These are also members of the Baicheng Fashion Association. You have met two of them before, and the rest know that you are in Lilan, so they came here specially today."
As newcomers to the association and the youngest members, they treat Shen Li as if they were children, and they are extremely tolerant and gentle.
Shen Li and Lu Huai greeted them one by one, and the atmosphere quickly warmed up.
Luo Nai smiled and said, "You can visit here from the first to the third floor, as long as you like."
