Quick time travel: The system wants me to save the sick girl

As soon as he let down the bed curtains, the man woke up.

Lu Yan raised his hand to cover his mouth and pushed him back, while pulling the quilt to cover his face.

In the darkness, the bed curtains were enough to hide the figures of the two people. Lu Yan raised his hand and made a gesture of silence to his lips.

Lu Yan let go only when he realized that the man had stopped moving.

Two people were left in the yard outside.

"What about people?"

"Do you want to go in and search?"

"No, this courtyard is the most inconspicuous mute in this palace, chase him forward."

"Yes."

After the two left, Lu Yan stood up quietly and made an apologetic gesture. He didn't know if the man in front of him understood him or not. He just looked at him silently.

Just when Lu Yan wondered if the man in front of him was also mute, he spoke, "Thank you for tonight."

Then he stepped over Lu Yan and got out of bed. Lu Yan got up as well and seeing that the other party almost lost his balance due to the excessive movement, he stepped forward and supported him.

Feeling that the other person's body was noticeably stiff, Lu Yan helped him sit down on the chair. The faint moonlight shone in, and Lu Yan used sign language.

The other party didn't say anything, probably because he didn't know sign language. Lu Yan was a little disappointed and directly took out the ointment from the cabinet to gesture.

The person in front of him nodded. Lu Yan placed the things in front of him. He opened the medicines one by one and smelled them, then picked out two bottles and said, "This one will do."

Lu Yan nodded and put away the remaining things.

The man opened the bottle of medicine, raised his head and drank it, then stood up and said, "Thank you very much, I will repay you tomorrow."

Lu Yan waved his hand, and the man turned and left without making any sound.

After experiencing this incident, he couldn't sleep at night, so he planned to secretly go to the casino again. This time, the one he went to was small. Lu Yan was a little absent-minded when he went out. He changed his clothes but forgot to change his appearance.

However, he found a stall on the road with some brushes. Lu Yan used the only things he had and drew on his face to cover up the scars. In order to make it more realistic, he deliberately made his cheeks red.

This casino is not large in size, but it is very prestigious. Lu Yan discovered this after visiting several of them. This store is well run, at least much better than those stores that collect money and ignore human lives.

Lu Yan walked in. There were many people who looked like him, but he was particularly thin, so not many people paid attention to his presence after he entered.

He has always used small amounts of money to win little by little.

"The number is almost enough." Lu Yan played around for a while and then planned to leave.

This time someone blocked him.

Lu Yan looked at the person in front of him, worried that the other party had bad intentions. Lu Yan glanced at the other party without saying a word, and wanted to walk around and leave.

Another person stopped in front of Lu Yan. He clenched his fingers. The person opposite seemed to see the vigilance in Lu Yan's eyes. He stepped back and said, "Our boss wants to see you."

"Boss? Judging from their appearance, they are not from this store. Since they used the word boss, could they be the boss behind this store?"

Lu Yan couldn't speak, so he nodded and motioned the other party to lead the way.

The person in front of him didn't say much, lowered his head slightly, and walked ahead. Lu Yan followed behind and secretly observed this person.

He is wearing a black suit, a black belt around his waist, holding a long knife in his hand, and having a firm look in his eyes, which shows the seriousness and concentration of his profession.

The embroidered spring bag hanging around the waist is not an ordinary decoration. The bag is decorated with patterns, which is simple and elegant.

"It seems that the identity of this shop owner is not simple." Lu Yan observed secretly and kept paying attention to the places he walked by.

They walked straight past the house and into the backyard. It's not quite accurate to call it a backyard, as there was a very large space at the back.

More like a lounge.

After crossing the threshold, you will see a spacious and lively lobby. The red brick and stone walls, mottled murals and dim lights give people a quaint and comfortable feeling.

In the center was a round wooden wine table, with several men in ancient costumes toasting and drinking. On the walls were wooden wine racks filled with all kinds of fine wine.

In addition to the people sitting at the round table, Lu Yan also found a person half-lying on the couch next to him, but Lu Yan could not see his face clearly.

Among the people at the round table, Lu Yan saw the man sitting in the middle at a glance.

Lu Yan was standing at the door, with the guard in front of him.

"Master, someone brought it."

"Go down."

The man in the middle spoke, and the person next to him looked at Lu Yan with curiosity at the beginning, but had no other intention.

What's more, Lu Yan felt that their eyes must have seen something on his face, and he didn't know if his scar revealed any flaws.

However, there are so many people who change their appearance through disguise, and they may not think that their current appearance is their true appearance.

"I see that your craft is pretty good." The man said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. Lu Yan remained silent and cautious and did not reply.

"Everyone around you is concentrating on rolling the dice and placing bets. Your figure is indeed not easy to attract attention among them. Amid the croupier's shouts and the banker's encouragement, you are also calm in placing bets."

"And the amount I bet each time was not high. Once or twice was just a coincidence, but it has always been like this, and every time I win, I change positions."

The man paused. "It's hard not to make people doubt your craftsmanship."

Lu Yan couldn't speak now, so he took a step forward, took the chopsticks on the table, wet them and wrote on the table "What do you want?"

The man looked at Lu Yan's actions with a strange expression. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "You...can't speak?"

Lu Yan nodded, and the man's expression became even stranger. He couldn't help but glance at the person lying on the couch who seemed to be asleep, and then turned to look at Lu Yan. "In that case, I'll let someone tell you what I'm here to see you about."

"Qianshan, send him away."

The person who brought Lu Yan here had been standing aside. Upon hearing this, he opened the door behind him and motioned for Lu Yan to follow him.

Lu Yan couldn't wait to leave, so he followed the man out.

The man named Qianshan stopped Lu Yan and said, "My master asked me to tell you."

Lu Yan looked at him, listening attentively.

Knowing that the other party couldn't speak, Qianshan continued, "He likes your skills and plans to hire you to be the owner of the casino."

Lu Yan pointed at himself and wanted to ask the other party why they did this since he was a person who couldn't speak.

Qian Shan continued, "We are about to open a new venue and need a new owner to represent the master. You were selected by him personally."

"If you agree, you can get something from it..." He leaned over and whispered a number in Lu Yan's ear.
