When Ye Qiu pulled Liu Lingxiu over, Huo Yingying followed along, initially thinking that Ye Qiu just wanted to gamble a little for fun.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Qiu arrived at the betting booth, the staff asked him how he wanted to place his bet.

"For first place, I’ll bet on horse number nine."

The odds for this horse number nine were one to 3.5.

These odds were neither too high nor too low.

"Sir, the base bet is ten HKD. How much would you like to bet?"

Meaning, if you bet ten, and Ye Qiu wins, the racetrack will pay out thirty-five, essentially making a profit of twenty-five.

Of course, taxes are another matter.

"A million bets," Ye Qiu said calmly.

A million bets?

This not only surprised the staff inside but also left Huo Yingying in disbelief.

After all, while the racetrack had seen bets as high as twenty or thirty billion, that was the sum of many people betting together.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu alone bet a million bets, which amounts to one billion HKD, roughly equivalent to one billion Huaxia Yuan.

"Sir, are you sure?"

Of course.

After Ye Qiu, Liu Lingxiu, and Huo Yingying, wearing sunglasses and a mask, went inside, Ye Qiu indeed bet a million to buy number nine.

Of course, if Ye Qiu finishes his bet, others might follow, which could lower the odds. In any case, these odds were calculated in such a way that the Hong Kong Jockey Club could not lose money.

And if Ye Qiu really won, the money would just be taken from other gamblers.

However, many didn’t favor this number nine.

After all, the true dark horse, that number seven horse, only had odds of one to 1.25.

Those who won earlier actually only made a profit of twenty-five cents on a dollar bet.

When Ye Qiu prepared to pay for his bet, based on the top three and top five rankings, he also separately placed five hundred thousand bets.

These are like fifteen out of three, fifteen out of five, with extremely low probabilities, so the odds are much higher.

When staff saw Ye Qiu directly spend three billion HKD to place bets, they were utterly stunned.

This young man from Mainland China is really wealthy.

But, if Ye Qiu bet wrong, then this three billion would just be donated to the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

"Are you crazy? My grandpa says gambling can end terribly." Huo Yingying looked at Ye Qiu and said.

She thought Ye Qiu was simply going to play casually with a few dozen bucks.

"It’s my money; I’ll spend it how I want."

"You."

Ye Qiu directly used his black card to pay.

When they returned with Liu Lingxiu and Huo Yingying, old Mr. Huo initially thought this young man wouldn’t play these games.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu really did.

"Dr. Ye, how much did you bet?" Mr. Huo asked.

"Grandpa, he’s crazy. He placed so much at once. It’s basically throwing money at the rich," Huo Yingying said. By "rich," she naturally meant Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is rich enough, most gambling taxes go to government revenue or charity work. Isn’t Ye Qiu just giving money to the rich?

"How much did you bet?" The surrounding Huo family members were also curious.

Did this young man bet hundreds of thousands or millions?

"Three billion."

Three billion?

The other Huo family members were stunned. They thought this young man was just good at medical skills, but he turned out to be extremely wealthy, spending money even more extravagantly than them.

"Sis, you didn’t trick me, right?" One cousin of Huo Yingying asked.

"The betting slip is with him."

"Dr. Ye, you’re amazing. I think I should follow your lead," Huo Yingying’s cousin said as he hurried back to the betting booth to place his bet.

Unexpectedly, the odds for number nine had now dropped to one to two.

Which means quite a few people followed Ye Qiu’s lead, causing the odds to drop.

This number nine horse might just become the dark horse.

While Huo Yingying was still angry, thinking Ye Qiu had turned into a gambler, it was actually Liu Lingxiu’s first time seeing Ye Qiu spend money so lavishly.

If it had been before, she wouldn’t have believed it.

But Ye Qiu indeed had money, so it was quite normal.

"If I win, I profit; if I lose, it’s like donating to Hong Kong for charity," Ye Qiu said.

"Dr. Ye, your mindset is really good!" Mr. Huo said.

He really couldn’t understand this young man anymore.

Soon, the second horse race was about to begin.

Because Ye Qiu’s bet was huge, now Liu Lingxiu, Huo Yingying, and even other Huo family members started feeling a bit nervous and expectant.

The gun sounded, and number seven and number six horses took off first, constantly crossing the barriers towards the finish line.

Huo Yingying was extremely nervous, frequently glancing at Ye Qiu’s expression, but Ye Qiu appeared very calm.

Just three billion?

What’s the big deal?

But it was different for Mr. Huo and the Huo family. These three billion weren’t something ordinary people in Hong Kong could own, and yet it was all bet at once.

When Ye Qiu looked back, there was no doubt that he had guessed correctly, except for the positions of fourth and fifth being swapped; everything else was right.

"Ye Qiu, did you really win?" Huo Yingying couldn’t believe it.

Ye Qiu guessed that the number nine horse was indeed the first in this race, and he also guessed the top three. As for fourth and fifth, Ye Qiu’s guess was swapped, leading to some loss; otherwise, he could have made several billion more.

The surrounding Huo family members were truly shocked, feeling as if they were witnessing a billionaire suddenly appear beside them.

If Ye Qiu won, he might empty the Jockey Club’s prize pool.

"Dr. Ye, you’re too amazing," said the cousin beside Huo Yingying.

"Still missing a bit," Ye Qiu said calmly.

In the land of gold, Hong Kong, this money came quickly indeed.

But if not careful, it could all disappear.

Ye Qiu didn’t show excessive joy, and old Mr. Huo found this young man even harder to grasp; he had guessed but didn’t get it right twice.

This young man was impressive, guessing the top three correctly; if he had guessed fourth and fifth right too, Ye Qiu’s winnings would have exceeded ten billion.

"Dr. Ye, how about the next race?" The surrounding Huo family members asked eagerly.

No one minds having too much money.

It is the same now.

Seeing Ye Qiu instantly earning so much, they naturally felt overwhelmingly envious.

"Not playing the third race."

Ye Qiu said.

For the third race, he didn’t bet anymore.
