Song Qian placed three suitcases on the table and opened them.
The money piled inside dazzled the gamblers.
"Miss Qin, how do you want to play?" Song Qian asked with a smile.
Everyone felt his smile was sinister, that he was a dangerous man, and cheered Qin Zhao on.
Indeed, after what had happened earlier, everyone had turned against Song Qian.
No one dared to underestimate Qin Zhao anymore. Even if they had other thoughts, they didn't dare show it, afraid she would retaliate.
Qin Zhao estimated she had around 1.06 million yuan left.
She pushed all her money to the middle of the table, "Let's play the usual way, but raise the minimum bet to 1 million yuan."
Everyone gasped and couldn't help but try to dissuade her.
"Boss Qin, don't do this. You finally won this money. If you lose it all in one hand, there is no medicine for regret in this world!"
"This money could buy a downtown apartment. Think thrice, Boss Qin!"
"Last time you played Pei Qian, Boss Qin, your luck was already good. But you still lost twice. The risk is too high."
Qin Zhao knew they meant well, but trusted her own judgement more.
This man's purpose was to make her win this money.
Then go to the premium carriage where someone was surely lying in wait for her!
But Qin Zhao wasn't someone to back down. She had to take the risk!
They had their plans. Qin Zhao had her own goals.
Since their paths crossed for now, why not travel together for a bit?
"Let's play!" Song Qian grabbed some bundles of bills from the suitcase and pushed them forward.
He turned to the dealer, "Deal."
The dealer calmly washed and dealt the cards according to the order.
Qin Zhao didn't even glance at the cards she was dealt.
The two each drew a card.
Qin Zhao drew 10, bigger than Song Qian's 3, so she was the banker.
The onlookers were amazed and frightened that she didn't even look at her cards. They determined she must be a high roller and were glad they didn't play against her.
Otherwise, they'd surely lose everything!
Qin Zhao mixed the 3 landlord cards into her hand, then flipped all her cards face up.
The crowd surged forward to look, and cries of shock rang out!
The ruckus was so loud Qin Zhao had to cover her ears!
It was the same familiar hand of double kings, four 2s, four Aces, and a straight flush that Qin Zhao had won against Pei Qian with the first time.
The dealer announced loudly, "The banker has a 'Spring' hand with three bombs and wins 16 million!"
Cheers and applause thundered throughout!
"Good!"
"Boss Qin, well played!"
"Well played!!!"
One person even shouted himself hoarse and fainted!
Amidst the excitement, Song Qian was calm as ever. He had people bring two more suitcases. The five suitcases' money probably exceeded 16 million already.
But Song Qian didn't care about the extra money, and neither did Qin Zhao.
When the noise died down, Song Qian reached out his hand, "It was great playing with you, Miss Qin. You're very skilled."
Qin Zhao shook his hand, "You're not bad either."
Soon, a staff member in a black vest came to Qin Zhao's side, "Ma'am, your winnings have exceeded this casino's upper limit. Please proceed to the higher-end casino. We will arrange for someone to exchange your money into chips. Or if you wish to stop playing, we will escort you out safely."
Qin Zhao nodded, "Thank you. Please help exchange my money into chips."
Then, under the enthusiastic and envious gazes of the crowd, Qin Zhao left the first carriage. An azure sightseeing car was waiting for her at the door.
Qin Zhao and the staff boarded the car together.
The staff asked, "Which casino would you like to go to?"
"Five."
Nan Yue arrived at Ghost God Casino according to the address Xu Yiyang had given her. She got out of the car and entered the door escorted by two female bodyguards.
The man with a figure-eight moustache warmly came up, "Miss, first time here?"
Nan Yue replied, "Yes."
"Wonderful, allow me to take you there."
The moustache man was all smiles. Running into two gorgeous ladies in one day was a blessing countless others prayed lifetimes for but never got!
Nan Yue took out the gold card from her bag for the moustache man to see, "Thank you. May I ask what this card is for?"
When the moustache man saw the gold card, he immediately cried out in shock and leapt three meters back!
Once he caught his breath, he carefully walked back to Nan Yue's side and examined the gold card closely.
After confirming its authenticity, he bowed respectfully, "Esteemed guest, please wait a moment. Special reception staff will be here shortly to serve you."
Qin Zhao entered the fifth carriage holding the chips the staff had exchanged for her.
As soon as she entered, she heard vexing wails.
She casually found a seat and watched the spectacle unfolding nearby.
A man in a pink suit knelt before another man, crying, "Brother Kun, please give me another chance to gamble again. I beg you. That was all the money I had. If my dad finds out I lost it all, he'll definitely kill me! As long as you give me one more chance, I'm willing to do anything for you, even be your dog!"
The man called Brother Kun laughed, "The money you lost to me is mine now. How can you ask me to stake my money to give you a chance?! There's no such good thing in the world! If I give you a chance, who will give me one? Hmm?"
The kneeling man couldn't refute him. He kept begging and sobbing, repeating over and over, "I'll do anything you ask, anything you ask..."
At first Brother Kun refused, but then seemed to think of something. A mocking smile spread over his face.
He asked, "Would you give me something physical, a certain body part?"
"Yes!"
He waved at the man in a suit beside him. The suited man drew a short knife from his clothes and handed it to Brother Kun.
Brother Kun threw the knife on the ground.
The kneeling man hastily snatched it up, about to stab his own calf!
"Stop stop stop!" Brother Kun quickly stopped him. "Who wants your unsightly thing down there?!"
The man tearfully asked, "Brother Kun, please say what you want."
Brother Kun glanced meaningfully at his lower body. His implication was obvious.
The man wailed even louder!
Suddenly, his cries cut off abruptly. The knife slashed viciously downward!
A bloodcurdling scream made the night itself tremble!
A few breaths later, the man held out something bloody and messy to Brother Kun with a trembling hand, "Brother Kun, is this alright?"
Brother Kun's face wrinkled in disgust, "Tsk tsk tsk, too small and ugly. No good! Take it away, take it away..."
The kneeling man howled in despair. Finally he pointed the knife at himself...
Qin Zhao looked away. Gambling harms people. It was best for ordinary folks to avoid it.
When she looked back after the commotion ended, the kneeling man had vanished without a trace, as had the blood on the floor.
It was as if none of it had ever happened.
"Miss, did you enjoy the show just now?"
Only this man's appearance proved Qin Zhao hadn't just hallucinated everything.
She looked up at the man in the pink suit, "Not enjoyable."
"Hehe." He sat down casually across from Qin Zhao, "I also feel playing cards with a beautiful woman like you would be more fun. So may I ask, are you willing to play a round with me?"
Song Qian placed three suitcases on the table and opened them.
The money piled inside dazzled the gamblers.
"Miss Qin, how do you want to play?" Song Qian asked with a smile.
