Nathan and the Twelve-Year Gamble Chapter 45

We almost always arrive in Macau on Friday and take the late flight back to Beijing on Sunday.

This time, Fatty had lost a total of eight million in just one day, including three million given by the fourth brother. Now both he and Zhuang Sheng were unwilling to make any more bets. One said that they had lost too much during this period and asked Fatty to go back and take a rest before coming back; the other said that all their customers owed too much this month and the casino had a limit on the number of bets they could take, so they had to wait until Fatty had paid back the money before they could take more.

I returned to the hotel dejectedly. Mason Ouyang said he was going out to buy some cosmetics for someone and left. After I took a shower, Fatty was no longer in the room. I called twice but no one answered. I couldn't help but get nervous. There are many people in Macau who have lost all their money and got into trouble. I have heard of people jumping off buildings or into the sea. What if something bad happens to him...

I hurried downstairs and looked around the casino twice but couldn't find anyone. Later, I met Zhuang Sheng and Gabriel at the entrance of Hongli Club. I avoided Zhuang Sheng and whispered to Gabriel that the fat man was missing. He was shocked. Zhuang Sheng asked what happened. Gabriel said it was nothing, said something to Zhuang Sheng in Cantonese, and took me away.

I called several times but no one answered. I quickly called Mason Ouyang, who was buying cosmetics downstairs, back and asked him if Fourth Brother had released any more codes. When he heard that Fatty couldn't be found, he got angry and asked, "Nathan Qin, what the hell are you doing? How can you not even keep an eye on one person? Fourth Brother also took three million codes. How can I explain this to him?"
