Chapter 610: Chapter 607: Won a Game
"This..." Yang Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, unable to read Ling Chen’s intentions, so he dared not agree casually.
At this moment, Luo Haiou came over from the side and said with a smile, "Mr. Ling, if you didn’t bring that much money, it’s okay, we can provide some loan."
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and he asked, "How much can I borrow?"
"With Ling Chen’s status, naturally, as much as you want, but, we need to issue an IOU."
"Okay, give me eighty million first."
"No problem." Luo Haiou agreed very readily, immediately had someone bring over eighty million in chips, and handed over the prepared IOU for Ling Chen to sign and put his thumbprint on.
Ling Chen didn’t say anything further, he signed his name directly and pressed his red thumbprint. After completing the IOU, carrying a tray with eighty million chips, he squeezed back to the gambling table, ready to throw a five million chip onto the table.
Seeing this, Hu Fei hurriedly grabbed Ling Chen’s arm and said with a pained expression, "Don’t bet so much at once, your luck isn’t good now, start with less, don’t lose it all in one go."
After hearing this, Ling Chen seemed to think it made sense, and he reduced the chips from five million to two million.
However, in three consecutive rounds, Ling Chen lost them all, not winning even once.
The gamblers around shook their heads secretly, with a look of staring at a fool on their faces. Knowing his own bad luck and still continuing to bet, and betting more and more, this is nothing if not foolish. Anyone with a bit of intelligence and self-control would not do this.
At that moment, only to see Li Gang make his way through the crowd, he leaned on the gambling table and said with a laugh, "Mr. Ling, since you are in such a mood tonight, how about I join you for a game?"
Ling Chen glanced at Li Gang, and asked indifferently, "How do you want to play?"
"Just the two of us alone bet, others can bet freely on either of us, how’s that?" Li Gang looked provocatively at Ling Chen. He had seen Ling Chen continuously losing and he also heard that Ling Chen hadn’t won a single game outside, having very bad luck. It just so happened that he had lost several tens of millions himself, and if he could win the chips from Ling Chen’s hands, it would indeed make up for his losses.
"Fine." Ling Chen agreed without thinking.
Seeing Ling Chen agree so readily, Li Gang cautioned, "Let’s get it straight first, no one is allowed to default on their debts later."
"Don’t worry, if anyone is going to default, it would be you, not me," said Ling Chen, as he pointed at the clock on the wall and continued, "It’s eight o’clock in the evening now, let’s play till ten. Until the game ends, no one can withdraw. Do you have the guts?"
Li Gang was slightly stunned, not expecting Ling Chen to set that condition.
"Hmph!" Ling Chen scoffed disdainfully, "If you don’t have the guts, just get lost, stop embarrassing yourself in front of me."
Upon hearing this, Li Gang frowned, stood upright, and said coldly, "Let’s do it, I’m not afraid of you."
"Good, deal the cards."
As soon as his words fell, more than ten gamblers immediately pushed their chips towards Li Gang. All these people knew about Ling Chen’s bad luck and thought of trying their luck to make a few million.
Fortunately, everyone was just trying out, the bets placed weren’t large, only a million or two each. Together with Li Gang’s own stake, the total bets on the table were eighteen million. If Ling Chen lost, he would have to pay out eighteen million at a one-to-one rate. Conversely, if he won, he could take all eighteen million.
The profit was huge, but the risk was equally great.
Two minutes passed.
The chips in Ling Chen’s tray were reduced to less than forty million, having lost over thirty million in just two rounds.
Seeing Ling Chen’s money was so easy to earn, the surrounding onlookers couldn’t help it and successively placed their bets on Li Gang’s side.
In the blink of an eye, the bet in front of Li Gang had reached over 40 million.
This scene caught the eye of Luo Haiou, who immediately called an underling and whispered something into his ear. Soon, the underling was waiting nearby with chips and IOUs. If Ling Chen lost this round, these chips and IOUs would be sent over immediately.
After all, with Nanrong Wanqing backing Ling Chen, Luo Haiou wasn’t worried about Ling Chen defaulting on his debts.
"Open! Open! Open!"
At this moment, everyone held their breath, intently watching the face-down card in Li Gang’s hand. As the corner of the card was flipped, a picture card was revealed.
Twenty points!
Seeing this score, everyone relaxed. Now there was nothing to do but wait to collect the money.
Ling Chen, with a solemn expression, picked up the face-down card on the table, pressing it into his palm, and gently lifted a corner with his thumb. Hu Fei, with a tense expression, leaned in trying to get a clear view of the card. However, before he could even see it, Ling Chen pressed the card back down to the table.
"I don’t want a card."
Hearing Ling Chen speak, Li Gang smiled and said, "I don’t want one either." With that, he flipped over his face-down card and laugh proudly: "Twenty points, time to collect the money."
Luo Haiou glanced at Li Gang’s card, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth, and he winked at his underling to pass over the chips that were prepared ahead of time.
However, as the underling approached the table and was about to speak, Ling Chen suddenly grinned and laughed: "Twenty points is high, but unfortunately, I have just a bit more than you."
With that, Ling Chen flipped over his card underneath.
A King and an Ace, exactly twenty-one points.
The bet doubled, and the 40 million in front of Li Gang instantly increased to 90 million.
With just one hand, Ling Chen not only recouped all his losses but also won several million more.
Looking at the twenty-one points on the gambling table, Li Gang’s face instantly turned sour. Not only him, but the other gamblers were also stunned. What was thought to be a guaranteed win was turned around by Ling Chen.
However, although Ling Chen won this hand, nobody felt regretful. After all, they had won two to three hundred million just a while ago, and now it was as if they were simply returning it to him. There was still plenty of time and opportunities to turn the tables.
As the game started again, there were still over 30 million in bets in front of Li Gang.
Adjusting his state, Li Gang pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and said to the dealer, "Deal."
One face-up card and one face-down card, three and nine, making twelve points in total—too low for a strong chance to win. Holding his cards, Li Gang looked around at the people beside him, as if asking whether to continue drawing cards or not.
"Draw."
Almost everyone shouted in unison.
Li Gang nodded and signaled the dealer, who promptly delivered a card to him.
However, as soon as the card was revealed, Li Gang’s eyes widened and his face became extremely ugly.
It was a King!
Direct bust.
Seeing this, Li Gang forced himself to stay calm, looking at Ling Chen across the gambling table. If Ling Chen also bust, then it would be a tie for everyone.
