Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1179 - 1224: Go All-In Every Time

"Alright, alright, let’s not count that! You warm up first, we can start whenever you say." Zheng Yuyang generously pushed the cards away as well.

Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "Hehe, no need, no need. I just forgot how to play. The God of Gamblers movies are just too old now. Come on, let’s play this round for real."

Zheng Yuyang still urged, "There’s no rush. I think it’s better to wait until you’re familiar with the game before we play. Otherwise, if I win against you, everyone will feel like I’m bullying you."

"No need for that, I’m an expert, getting Straight Flushes every time. Alright, I mean it this time, this round is for real."

When Meng Xiaofei said this, the tension everyone was feeling initially relaxed a lot, with several people even starting to laugh.

Moreover, Meng Xiaofei and Zheng Yuyang weren’t actually gambling with real money but using another deck of playing cards as chips, each person using a suit, with Ace to 10 valued at ten thousand, Jack at a hundred thousand, Queen at three hundred thousand, King at five hundred thousand, making thirteen cards exactly one million chips...

In their eyes, since it was just playing cards and not real money, and with Meng Xiaofei being so frivolous, it was at most just a game and couldn’t be taken seriously.

"Deal the cards, deal the cards," Meng Xiaofei urged Yang Yudong at this point.

Yang Yudong immediately shuffled and let Meng Xiaofei cut the deck, then once again dealt one face-up and one face-down card to both Zheng Yuyang and Meng Xiaofei.

This time, Meng Xiaofei picked up her two cards properly, stole a glance at the face-down card, then carefully placed it back on the table. She exhaled a sigh of relief and said, "Good, good, I didn’t place them incorrectly this time."

Everyone watched Meng Xiaofei’s careful demeanor, afraid of revealing her cards again, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Openly, Meng Xiaofei had a ten, while Yang Yudong had a six. Yang Yudong immediately said, "Xiaofei has a ten, it’s Xiaofei’s turn to speak."

Meng Xiaofei said to Yang Yudong with a giggle, "Not bad, not bad, you really sound like those characters in the movies. Alright then, I’ll bet a hundred thousand."

Zheng Yuyang frowned and said, "Xiaofei, isn’t this a bit too much? Going so big on the first hand?"

"I made a mistake last round, so I need to make it up this round. Come on, follow the bet, so I can sweep you on the next."

Zheng Yuyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiaofei, you can lose it all in just one hand with the way you’re playing."

"So what if I lose? At least I’ll enjoy the game. Don’t worry, I won’t welch on the bet," she said confidently.

Zheng Yuyang looked at Li Yifei again and said, "Alright then, I’ll let you have this round."

Meng Xiaofei looked at Zheng Yuyang suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean you’ll let me? Are you following or not?"

Zheng Yuyang flipped his cards over and said, "Of course I’m not following."

"That’s no fun." Meng Xiaofei pouted and then threw her cards to Yang Yudong.

Zheng Yuyang said with a smile, "Xiaofei, in this game, it’s not about going all-in every hand to have fun. The main thing is to go all-in at the right opportunity. Even if you get good cards every hand and go all-in, if I don’t follow, you won’t win much. But if I find one opportunity, you could lose a lot."

Meng Xiaofei cheerfully said, "As long as it’s fun, that’s all that matters. Let’s go."

Another round of dealing began, and this time, Zheng Yuyang had the higher hand. He said with a smile, "See, this hand is not bad for me, I’ll bet twenty thousand."

Meng Xiaofei immediately followed with twenty thousand.

Another card was dealt; Zheng Yuyang had a Jack and a Queen, while Meng Xiaofei had a five and an eight. Zheng Yuyang bet another twenty thousand, and Meng Xiaofei threw all her chips in and declared, "I’m going all-in."

Zheng Yuyang frowned and said, "Xiaofei, isn’t this a bit much? You’re going all-in against me with just a five and an eight?"

Meng Xiaofei said proudly, "Of course, I have to go all-in. Are you in or not?"

While everyone else thought this was just a game, Zheng Yuyang didn’t see it that way. He wanted to properly deal with Li Yifei, and winning this million would strip at least a quarter of Li Yifei’s assets. Then he could deal with Li Yifei however he wanted. Hence, he couldn’t act rashly; if he lost carelessly, he would definitely have to pay up, otherwise, he’d lose face.

A million wasn’t a small sum for him either, losing it nonchalantly would be painful.

Flipping his card over, Zheng Yuyang said, "Alright, if that’s how it is, I won’t follow this round either. I’ll let you have it."

Meng Xiaofei curled her lip and said, "So boring, just a pair of fives, and you don’t even dare to follow."

In the following few hands, Meng Xiaofei always went all-in with the maximum bet. On her second hand, she pushed all-in, and Zheng Yuyang mostly folded right away, occasionally following for one round, but backing down on the second round when Meng Xiaofei pushed all-in. This really frustrated Zheng Yuyang; he had never encountered someone playing quite like Meng Xiaofei before.

What was most important was that she was losing ten or twenty thousand in a single hand, and after around a dozen hands, he had already lost over two hundred thousand. At this rate, he would be wiped out just by losing the blinds.

This hand, Zheng Yuyang’s face-up card was an A, and the hole card was also an A. He started with a pair of Aces and was immediately delighted, thinking he could finally win it back. However, he kept his face expressionless and still placed a bet of twenty thousand.

Meng Xiaofei followed without hesitation.

Then the dealer dealt another card. Zheng Yuyang got a K, while Meng Xiaofei’s face-up cards showed a six and a J, still holding higher cards. Hesitating for a moment, he still bet twenty thousand, really hoping that Meng Xiaofei would push all-in against him. To his surprise, Meng Xiaofei did not disappoint and pushed all-in right away.

Zheng Yuyang was pleased but shook his head, saying, "Xiaofei, I told you, going all-in every hand will eventually lead to losses, and the money you won earlier would be completely wasted."

Meng Xiaofei said with a giggle, "I don’t care, are you following or not?"

"Alright, I’ll follow. I’ll bet this hand with you, otherwise you would look down on me." Saying so, he casually threw all his chips in.

Everyone became excited at this point. After so many hands, these two finally started a real showdown.

Another card was dealt, and Zheng Yuyang got another K, giving him a pair of Kings on the board, making two pair with his hole cards. As for Meng Xiaofei, she drew another two, leaving her cards as two, six, and J—no flush and no chance for a straight.

"Heh, Xiaofei, it seems you’ve really lost this hand," Zheng Yuyang said, shaking his head with a smile, looking towards Li Yifei.

But Li Yifei remained unfazed, without a hint of nervousness, which somewhat annoyed Zheng Yuyang.

Meng Xiaofei pouted and said, "Seems like I’m really going to lose. It’s your turn to bet. Last round I went all-in with you for seven hundred and eighty thousand. I have four hundred and forty thousand in my hand now, and I’m ready to push it all-in too."

Although she went all-in last round, Zheng Yuyang only had seven hundred and eighty thousand in chips, so Meng Xiaofei could only match that amount, leaving her with some leftover chips.

Zheng Yuyang was even happier and said, "Xiaofei, you’re really offering up this million, alright then, I’ll add another forty-four thousand. If I lose, I’ll lose a total of one million and forty-four thousand. If you lose, it’ll be a total of one million."

"That’s more like it." Meng Xiaofei casually threw her chips on the table, stood up, and slapped the table, glaring at Yang Yudong, "Deal the cards."

Shen Yuying immediately said, "Xiaofei, are you gambling or are you crazy? Even if I haven’t played, I know your cards are too weak, you have no chance at all."

Another guy laughed and said, "Yeah, Xiaofei, even if it’s just pretend, you can’t play like this."

Meng Xiaofei glared and said, "In a casino, there’s no kinship. Who’s pretending? We are playing for real."

"What?" Everyone looked at Meng Xiaofei in surprise. She did not appear to be joking, and this bet of over a million seemed to be serious, making them all gasp in shock.

Since it was indeed serious, Meng Xiaofei’s behavior seemed even more reckless. To wager over a million on such a terrible hand was insane.

Zheng Yuyang gave Yang Yudong a knowing look. Yang Yudong immediately understood and quickly dealt the cards to the two players, to prevent Meng Xiaofei from changing her mind. If a girl reneged, the guys would have no recourse, especially Zheng Yuyang, a wealthy man who couldn’t press the issue further.

Zheng Yuyang drew a Q, and Meng Xiaofei was dealt another two. On the board, Zheng Yuyang had a pair of Kings, and in reality, a pair of Aces and a pair of Kings was a very strong hand.

On Meng Xiaofei’s board, she now had a pair of twos, along with a six and a J, giving her a non-zero chance of winning. If her hole card was a two, that would give her three of a kind, which beats two pair.

Zheng Yuyang slightly smiled and said, "Xiaofei, you’ve lost this hand, I have two pair." He then revealed his hole cards.

There was an exclamation from everyone; if Zheng Yuyang only had a pair of Kings, Meng Xiaofei could win with two pair, but now that Zheng Yuyang had the highest two pair, Meng Xiaofei had no chance of winning.

Shen Yuying immediately said, "If Xiaofei’s hole card is a two, can’t she make three of a kind?"

Zheng Yuyang chuckled and said, "But the odds of that are too small. The two twos on the board were dealt last, and if Xiaofei didn’t already have a pair, how could she compete against my pair of Kings? So Meng Xiaofei’s hole card should be either a J or a six, which would also give her two pair, and that means she has definitely lost this hand. Right, Xiaofei?"

With Zheng Yuyang’s analysis, everyone also felt it made too much sense. Could Meng Xiaofei’s hole card really not be a two? Otherwise, with two, six, J, she wouldn’t go all-in against Zheng Yuyang’s pair of Kings—it would be madness, or perhaps true recklessness.

Everyone was shaking their heads in disapproval. Meng Xiaofei was really too outrageous. Claiming they were playing for real but treating her boyfriend’s money as nothing was simply acting like a spoilt child. Even Shen Yuying, Meng Xiaofei’s good friend, felt Meng Xiaofei was in the wrong at this point.
