Chapter 59

Round 1.

Qin Zhao and Ye Jianxiong each received one hidden card.

The surface of the second open card was King of Hearts and 10 of Diamonds, respectively.

Qin Zhao's card was bigger.

The ante was 5 million. Qin Zhao bet 1 million.

Ye Jianxiong: "I call."

For the third card, Qin Zhao got 7 of Spades, and Ye Jianxiong got 9 of Diamonds.

Ye Jianxiong: "I raise 4 million."

Qin Zhao lifted a corner of her hidden card and saw it was King of Spades.

"I call."

For the fourth card, Qin Zhao got King of Diamonds, Ye Jianxiong got 8 of Diamonds.

He directly raised 10 million!

He said to Qin Zhao: "It seems I'm quite lucky tonight. Miss Qin will have to think hard about this."

Qin Zhao was a bit worried that he might have a straight flush, but she had been observing Ye Jianxiong's every move and did not notice any cheating yet.

This round was purely a test of who's luckier.

She wanted to see if she could beat Ye Jianxiong relying purely on luck.

"The grace of the gambling god is indeed extraordinary," Qin Zhao pushed out 10 million chips, "But I have no reason not to call either."

After all, she already had three Kings.

The fifth card.

Qin Zhao got the King of Clubs!

And Ye Jianxiong got the 7 of Diamonds!

The audience applauded together!

"A straight flush against four of a kind! What an exciting start!"

"Nonsense, have you seen Miss Qin's hidden cards?"

Someone advised Qin Zhao, "Young lady, you have a great hand that would win big anywhere else, but here you're still at a disadvantage. Fold."

Xiao Ning also whispered in Qin Zhao's ear: "Sister Qin, he must have a straight flush. Let's fold this round."

Ye Jianxiong smiled and asked: "It seems my cards are a bit bigger again. How much would Miss Qin like me to bet?"

Qin Zhao raised her palm.

"Alright, 50 million then." Ye Jianxiong had his assistant put out the chips for him.

Qin Zhao lowered her head again to look at her hidden cards.

To be honest, the King of Spades looked cute, and having four of them together was tempting.

Qin Zhao didn't think she could bear the sorrow of giving up such a hand.

"50 million, I call."

Ye Jianxiong didn't hide his admiration for Qin Zhao, "Little girl, you have guts. Let's reveal the cards."

Qin Zhao showed her hidden King of Spades.

It was a great hand originally, but with Ye Jianxiong here, no one showed too much reaction.

Only a few people cast admiring glances at Qin Zhao.

Everyone else was waiting in anticipation for Ye Jianxiong's hidden cards.

He picked up his cards and glanced down at them.

Everyone held their breaths, as if time was frozen.

Until Ye Jianxiong turned his cards open, and air started flowing again.

"2 of Diamonds."

Ye Jianxiong still had his refined manners, smiling: "Congratulations Miss Qin, you won."

The crowd first sighed deeply, then someone started cheering for Qin Zhao.

"Young lady, amazing!"

"Won against the gambling god, that's something to brag about for life!"

......

Nan Yue was also genuinely happy for Qin Zhao. Heaven knows she was worried Qin Zhao might lose and was sweating bullets.

Xiao Ning excitedly grabbed Qin Zhao's hand, chirping: "Sister Qin, you're the most amazing woman I've ever seen!"

Seeing Qin Zhao still impassive, Xiao Ning asked puzzledly: "What's wrong Sister Qin, you're not happy you won?"

Qin Zhao retrieved her hand, saying: "It's not time to celebrate yet."

Although everyone was watching Ye Jianxiong's every move closely, only she saw him swap his hidden cards at the very last second!

Why did he intentionally lose to her?

With this doubt in mind, she naturally couldn't show joy.

Moreover, no one could confirm the winner until the very end.

No need to waste any emotions on the earlier wins and losses.

Round 2.

Qin Zhao didn't look at her hidden cards.

The first open card, Ye Jianxiong's Ace of Spades was bigger than Qin Zhao's 5 of Diamonds.

He spoke first: "I bet 1 billion."

Such a huge opening bet sparked discussions.

"Nothing less expected from the gambling god!"

"I know we're enjoying the show, but I feel like the gambling god is bullying the young lady!"

Ye Jianxiong generously responded: "You're absolutely right, I do want to bully her a bit."

But the more candid he was, the more people thought he was joking.

And made excuses for him.

"The gambling god jests. At the table everyone's equal, there's no bullying."

"This young lady is lucky to be able to play with the gambling god, it's a blessing from her previous lives!"

......

When the discussions died down, Qin Zhao said: "I raise, 2 billion."

Ye Jianxiong pushed his glasses up, and after the third card was dealt said: "I call 2 billion."

At this point Qin Zhao's cards were 5 of Diamonds and 3 of Clubs, versus Ye Jianxiong's Ace and 9 of Spades.

Calling again would be suicidal.

As Qin Zhao's hand touched the chips, she felt a touch on her back.

It was Nan Yue, writing on Qin Zhao's back: "Don't call!"

After a brief pause, Qin Zhao's hand still pushed out chips, "I raise, 4 billion!"

"Young lady what's gotten into you? If you don't want the money give it to me, I'll spend it for you!"

"Watching this wrenches my heart. Do young people these days not know the meaning of hard-earned money and food?"

"Forget it, I can't watch this anymore. I'll probably get a heart attack from anger if I keep watching!"

"I'm leaving too. Notify me when it's time for the young lady's execution!"

Xiao Ning was anxious too, asking in a low voice: "Sister Qin, what are you doing?!"

Nan Yue was already frozen in place, her face pale. She really couldn't understand Qin Zhao's actions.

She didn't know Ye Jianxiong when she was dating Ye Chenxi.

But from Ye Chenxi's and Nan Chenghui's descriptions of Ye Jianxiong, words like ruthless and decisive came up most frequently.

If Qin Zhao lost to Ye Jianxiong, there would definitely be severe consequences!

Ye Jianxiong raised his hand, and someone quickly brought another box of chips to the table.

After two rounds of calling.

Their card counts were: Qin Zhao - 5 and 3 of Diamonds, Jack and Queen of Hearts; Ye Jianxiong - Ace, Queen, 9 and 4 of Spades.

After the fifth card, Ye Jianxiong said loudly: "I raise, 100 million!"

The atmosphere instantly froze, because Ye Jianxiong's previously gentle gaze had turned as cold as a snake's!

"Miss Qin, you're out of chips. If you choose to reveal cards, you'll owe me 100 million.

Think carefully. If you lose tonight, I won't take your life, but your legs will have to go.

You made my son lose a leg. I'll cut off your pair as interest."

Qin Zhao really wanted to say Ye Chenxi's lost leg had nothing to do with her, but she figured Ye Chenxi had framed her for it. Explaining was useless.

After a period of silence, she said: "Reveal cards."

Ye Jianxiong's flush beat Qin Zhao's pair of Jacks!

No one cheered or commented.

Because everyone had expected this outcome already.

Nan Yue suddenly felt dizzy and nearly lost her balance. Luckily Xiao Ning held her up.

Ye Jianxiong resumed his usual demeanor, smiling: "If you want to continue, I can offer 500 million to buy one of your hands and give you a chance to turn the game around."

Qin Zhao chuckled and said: "You're celebrating too soon."

Seeing her laugh so lightly, Ye Jianxiong's brows furrowed as he asked: "What do you mean?"
