Black Sundar Bar was a well-known money-squandering bar. Just by looking at the bar's exterior, one would not know there were other ongoing vice activities inside, including prostitution, gambling, and drugs. One must have insider connections to be able to access them. This was no longer a secret in the Capital city. However, people refrained from talking about it, largely due to its mysterious background.

A car stopped over at the basement level four carpark of Black Sunday. As the door opened, Gu Junlin got out of the car from the driver's seat. He went over to the passenger seat and opened the door for Wen Xinya. "We have arrived," he said.

"Thank you!" Wen Xinya said with a smile and got out of the car.

The Gu Family was an affluent family within the Capital city. It was said that the family had good connections with the National Security Department. Therefore, they were well respected by both the government and underworld figures. Gu Junlin had rendered a tremendous help to Wen Xinya for her plans this time.

Wen Xinya had realized the importance of being well connected in society. Connections to the right people would be the deciding factor for her victory.

Gu Junlin brought Wen Xinya into the Black Sunday through another entrance, leading them directly to a secret Surveillance Room in the bar.

Xu Zhenyu and Han Mofeng were sitting in the room watching the surveillance screen.

Wen Xinya passed the desserts made by Mother He over to them. "The desserts made by Mother He are the best. This is the reward for your hard work."

Xu Zhenyu always liked desserts. Looking at the desserts, his eyes gleamed. "Xinya, you know me best."

Having known him for two lifetimes, how could Wen Xinya not know what he liked. She turned over and looked at Han Mofeng. "What is the situation?" she asked.

Han Mofeng signaled her to look at the surveillance screen. He said, "We are near to deployment. Under our setup, he borrowed some money from the illegal money-lenders yesterday and seems like he's going to lose it all again."

Wen Xinya looked at the screen. It showed a wretched man around his 40s. This was the Chief Editor of Heavenbright Press Media—Yang Chongguang.

From the information Si Yiyan provided her, it showed that Yang Chongguang was an addictive gambler. So she discussed with Xu Zhenyu and together they set up this trap. Xu Zhenyu was very well-connected and very quickly was able to lure Yang Chongguang into the trap by getting him to gamble at the Black Sunday through his connections.

The Gu Family also had connections to the owners of the Black Sunday. Therefore, Gu Junlin was able to help them arrange this setup. For the first two days, Yang Chongguang was on a lucky strike and won almost ten million dollars. It was a common characteristic in gamblers—winning was never enough for them and they would want more. Moreover, Xu-er had arranged someone to instigate him to return for more. Therefore, Yang Chongguang got addicted very quickly. From the third day onwards, he started getting unlucky but his losses were minimal. On the fourth day, he had lost it all.

Yang Chongguang had lost a huge some of his own money, plus the original amount he had won initially. How could he give it up? Under the encouragement from that person whom Xu-er had arranged, Yang Chongguang became hot-headed and started borrowing from illegal money-lenders. By now, he had lost more than what he could afford to pay.

Sweat was all over his face. He could not sit still and kept fidgeting in his chair. He was struggling to keep his eyes open as he had spent a few sleepless nights on the gambling table, trying to focus his attention on the cards in the croupier's hands.
