Everyone was at a loss for how to react for a moment.
Laugh? They were worried Ye Jianxiong would hold a grudge!
Don't laugh? They felt bad for the person who had been poked fun at.
They had witnessed Ye Jianxiong gamble hundreds of times, but this was the first time they saw him argue like a primary schooler, actively trying to occupy the moral high ground.
Qin Zhao laughed and said, "Ye Gambling God seems to have forgotten a common saying - colliding cards is nothing to fear, whoever is petty will be embarrassed."
Ye Jianxiong's mouth twitched. The red spade was slightly smaller than the black spade, and he had to admit he had miscalculated!
Qin Zhao didn't want to waste time chatting with him. She directly said, "Raise eight million!"
Ye Jianxiong: "I'll see your eight million!"
The fourth card was revealed. Qin Zhao had black spade 8, while Ye Jianxiong had red spade 8.
Qin Zhao continued to see the eight million bet.
Ye Jianxiong chose to reveal his cards.
Qin Zhao flipped over her bottom card, the black spade 7.
After being stimulated by all sorts of great card combinations last round, the audience had calmed down a lot. A straight flush could no longer make them feel like oil splashing into hot wok.
Before Ye Jianxiong revealed his bottom card, he said to Qin Zhao, "I guess my bottom card is the red spade Q. What does Miss Qin think?"
Qin Zhao indifferently said, "Then that means you're cheating."
She only said this because she saw Ye Jianxiong immediately swap out the bottom card after he picked it up!
As soon as she said this, the crowd became agitated!
"Miss Qin, you have to provide evidence when making accusations! Cheating in the Ghost God Casino means getting your hands chopped off!"
"Don't make wild accusations without evidence!"
"How dare you slander the Gambling God's reputation!"
Most of them had gambled against Ye Jianxiong before.
Losers submit to the victors, regarding them as gods. They naturally did not want to believe he was a cheater, that kind of scammer role.
When watching movies, they could reluctantly empathize with the cheater by inserting themselves into the protagonist role, but in real life everyone was just ordinary people.
They did not like cheaters.
Ye Jianxiong looked unconcerned and said, "Every person who has lost a gamble to me suspects me of cheating. Your words have already foretold your outcome."
Qin Zhao sneered contemptuously, "Alright, I didn't expect you to admit it anyway. Your kind, even when dead, would have stiff lips."
Ye Jianxiong squeezed his thighs to stop himself from cursing out loud.
He recalled the chant Qin Zhao had muttered earlier, automatically correcting the parts unfavorable to himself, and started reciting in his heart: Don't get angry, don't get angry, getting angry ruins the body and no one will replace...
When his emotions stabilized, he flipped over his bottom card, which turned out to be the red spade Q!
"Yes!"
"As expected of the Gambling God!"
"Give that arrogant little missy some color to look at!"
In the first round, there were still some people standing on Qin Zhao's side, as their positions were closer to hers.
But in the second round, for the sake of their heart health, everyone decisively chose to support Ye Jianxiong.
The only people still outwardly supporting Qin Zhao were Xiao Ning and Nan Yue.
Qin Zhao didn't want to look back at them, because without looking she knew their faces must be very ugly right now.
Someone started advising Liu Zhongyuan, "Young man, I advise you to take back whatever chips you have left while you still can!
"If you let her keep gambling like this, your 600 million will be gone!"
"Cut your losses in time, young man!"
Qin Zhao had a subtle smile on her face. She leaned sideways and slowly applied force to Liu Zhongyuan's bandage, asking, "Brother Liu, are you happy that I lost your money?"
Liu Zhongyuan endured the pain until his face turned red. His words were almost squeezed out between gritted teeth, "I'm very happy!"
Qin Zhao was unsatisfied and said, "What did you say? I couldn't hear clearly."
Liu Zhongyuan took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Miss Qin lost my money and I'm so happy! I'm delighted to death!"
The chattering crowd had shut up in shock after his yell!
They looked at Liu Zhongyuan as if he was an idiot.
Those closest to him silently moved away, not wanting to be infected by his idiocy.
502 clicked his tongue and said, "Host, you're too cruel. I detect he has reached his limit of endurance. If you apply a little more force, he will faint from the pain."
Qin Zhao said, "If you observe carefully, you'll notice this person is like a puppet on strings, unable to speak for himself. His master does not allow him to say what he wants. I'm just testing his and the person behind him's bottom line."
Qin Zhao had gotten the result she wanted.
She said, "Alright, let's continue the gamble."
In the next five rounds, Qin Zhao finally understood Ye Jianxiong's motive for intentionally losing to her last round.
He was using her reaction to his card swapping to confirm whether Qin Zhao was a fellow swindler.
But no matter if Qin Zhao won or lost money, she remained indifferent.
Judging by how Ye Jianxiong was swapping cards more unscrupulously, he had determined Qin Zhao was not a cheater!
But in all his calculations, he didn't calculate that Qin Zhao was a human cheating detector!
In the second round, seventh game.
After the fifth card was dealt, Qin Zhao's face up cards were a pair of Js, a pair of 5s, and the bottom card was a 3 of Diamonds.
Ye Jianxiong had a pair of As, a pair of 8s, so his bottom card would necessarily be an A or 8.
Both sides' raises so far totaled 100 million.
"Miss Qin, it seems you're about to lose again this second round."
He put 200 million chips down and said, "I raise 200 million. I don't understand why you're so insistent on going against me, exactly what plan do you have? Even when facing cards that will certainly lead to a loss, you still see it to the end. But one thing can be confirmed, you won't be the final winner! A child is still a child, having not seen the sinister side of the world, thinking a little cleverness allows you to have your way. Little do you know, the world's rules are written by the powerful, serving the powerful. If rebels want to tear open a crack, they have to smash their heads bloody. Your efforts are far from enough, you'll have to try harder. When that time comes, perhaps I'll applaud for you."
Qin Zhao said, "I'm only worried that by then, you won't have your life anymore. You say these things because your frail body simply can't withstand my victory! As for me, one or two failures don't bother me much."
When Ye Jianxiong heard the term "frail body", his expression clearly changed, but soon returned to normal.
Qin Zhao put her chips forward, "Reveal cards!"
The result was as she expected, Ye Jianxiong's bottom card was the black spade 8!
The scene erupted again!
Just then, there was a bang from the gambling table!
The crowd stopped their clamor, their eyes gathering on Qin Zhao's side.
Xiao Ning had just slammed the table with that palm strike, using too much force, her hand was a little swollen.
Then, angry words burst from her mouth: "Simply preposterous!"
Under everyone's puzzled stares, Xiao Ning lowered her head to whisper in Qin Zhao's ear, "Sister Qin, I only partner with the powerful. Goodbye!"
Xiao Ning turned and left. Nan Yue was squeezed to Qin Zhao's right side. Qin Zhao casually pulled her into her embrace.
Nan Yue sat on her lap and asked, "Are you okay?"
Qin Zhao nodded, "Yes, not bad."
The noisy chatter around them resumed after Xiao Ning's departure.
This time there was more content about Xiao Ning.
"Ah, although I feel this young miss brought it on herself, seeing her abandoned by her companion makes me feel somewhat sorry for her. What's going on?"
"Pitiable people surely have hateful qualities too. Quickly rein in your cheap sympathy, its stench is overpowering!"
"It'd be best if she just loses all her chips quickly so I can go home and sleep. My wife's waiting for me!"
"Yeah yeah, I'm so sleepy my eyes can barely stay open."
"I'm different from you guys. I won't go home tonight if I don't see her get her legs chopped off!"
Hearing these mocking voices directed at Qin Zhao, Ye Jianxiong's smile grew deeper. He asked, "Miss Qin, you only have 10 million chips left. Will you continue?"
Everyone was at a loss for how to react for a moment.
Laugh? They were worried Ye Jianxiong would hold a grudge!
Don't laugh? They felt bad for the person who had been poked fun at.
