My purpose in coming here was not only to challenge Yu Shuang directly through a game, but also to understand the twelve hidden lamps around Ying Baolin, so that I could know myself and my enemy and win a hundred battles.
However, as soon as Yu Shuang appeared, I knew in my heart that the other five hidden lamps would likely not show up.
What a pity! It was truly a shame.
...
As expected, the moment she appeared, the Queen Bee set the final conclusion for this showdown.
"Casinos operate on fairness, impartiality, and the principle of accepting defeat when one gambles."
"It is not shameful to be less skilled. The most shameful thing is to be arrogant and refuse to admit it!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingfeng's face immediately turned red, and he stared at Yu Shuang with eyes that seemed ready to spew fire, appearing as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.
"Why are you still standing here like an idiot? Get out of here now!!!"
As she said this, Yu Shuang's brow furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes lifted, and she exuded a cold aura.
In an instant, Gu Lingfeng's anger subsided, and he left dejectedly.
"And the rest of you!"
After Gu Lingfeng left, Yu Shuang turned her gaze directly to Wang Mingxuan and the others, saying coldly, "Don't be an eyesore here. All of you, get back where you came from!"
The moment her voice fell, I saw various expressions appear on the faces of Wang Mingxuan and the others.
Luo Qiyun and Xiang Tianhua were the first to retreat without hesitation, acting decisively.
As for Wang Mingxuan, Da Fei, and the smiling tiger Chang Ba, they only dared to persist no longer when Yu Shuang's subordinates stepped forward to forcibly drive them away. They all left reluctantly, with their hands tied.
After Wang Mingxuan and the other two left, Yu Shuang finally turned her attention to me and asked with a smile, "This young brother looks very unfamiliar. Are you from Wenzhou?"
As expected of the Queen Bee, whose intelligence was close to that of a demon, she didn't ask me my intentions for coming to Tiandu first, but instead tried to probe my background indirectly.
Anyone who didn't understand Yu Shuang's character might be mesmerized by her stunning beauty and smile and foolishly reveal their background.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't fall for that.
Instead of answering the question, I pretended to be lecherous and looked her up and down.
My behavior caused the smile on Yu Shuang's lips to freeze.
The Queen Bee narrowed her eyes, her gaze like a knife, and said to me, "Young brother, if you intend to win money legitimately in my establishment, I will certainly welcome you! However..."
"If you think you know a few tricks and intend to mess around, I certainly won't stand by and do nothing!"
Ignoring this pompous nonsense, I continued to look at Yu Shuang with a lustful gaze and asked in a low voice, "Then, may I ask, beautiful boss, what excuse will you use to keep me, and the eight million chips in front of me?"
As I said the last sentence, I deliberately raised my voice, intending to attract more gamblers to watch.
No matter how Yu Shuang intended to target me, the more onlookers there were, the more advantageous the situation would be for me.
In the escape plan designed by Xu Shiyu for me, these useless gamblers were a natural boost to help me get away.
So, after returning to the main hall, I had to make good use of them.
As if extremely disgusted by my gaze, Yu Shuang suddenly waved her hand in the distance.
Within a few seconds, I saw a dealer walking over with a tray.
"Since you rose to prominence in the game of Sic Bo, I will gamble with you one more time with dice!"
Pointing to the tray in the dealer's hand, Yu Shuang said coldly, "Shake the dice, best of three! If you win, in addition to these eight million chips, I will give you another two million chips to make it a full ten million, all of which you can exchange for cash and take away!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a wave of incredulous gasps erupted from the surrounding crowd.
Immediately after, the eyes of some gamblers with deep-seated gambling tendencies revealed a greedy glint, and they stared intently at me.
Although my expression remained normal and I appeared relaxed, I was actually cursing inwardly.
Damn it! Yu Shuang is Yu Shuang.
It's the same old formula, the same old taste!
With just one glance, she saw through my intention to use the onlookers and came up with a countermeasure.
For gamblers with deep-seated gambling tendencies, ten million in cash was too tempting.
With this move, even if I truly won against Yu Shuang, when I went to collect the money and leave, I would likely be pestered by those gamblers.
After the commotion in the crowd gradually subsided, Yu Shuang continued, "If you lose, besides leaving your chips..."
"You yourself must also remain in the establishment!"
After speaking, Yu Shuang calmly looked at me, indicating that I could choose one of the two options.
After a moment of deliberation, I did not refuse Yu Shuang's offer and directly nodded in agreement.
The reason I agreed to gamble with dice was because I still held the trump card of Hao Qi.
You have your plan, and I have mine!
You want to subdue me with just a few words? I'm sorry... it's impossible!
...
When the dealer placed the dice cup and tray on the table, he unhurriedly lit a cigarette. After a puff of smoke, Yu Shuang said relaxedly, "Since you can listen to dice, let's gamble on what you're best at!"
As expected of the cold-faced and ruthless Queen Bee, her ability to deceive people is truly first-class!
From my understanding of Yu Shuang, if she wasn't confident, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to propose a dice game with me.
She clearly stated her own best trick as mine with her glib tongue.
Too lazy to argue with her, I directly asked, "How shall we gamble?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shuang flicked her fingers and casually replied, "It's very simple! You shake, I guess; I shake, you guess. Best of three!"
"In the first round, we each shake six dice, the second round eight, and the third round ten!"
"The difficulty increases from low to high. What do you think?"
After hearing Yu Shuang's words, I really wanted to reply "Not good" immediately!
This mutual dice-shaking and guessing game, while seemingly harmless, is actually more of a trap than the showdown proposed by Gu Lingfeng!
Because in the third round... there's no way to determine the winner!
I admit that I cannot control ten dice, let alone listen to the outcome.
As for Yu Shuang, she is likely the same as me.
If she were truly that capable, Uncle Tuo would not have overlooked such a person when introducing me to skilled dice players in the past.
Therefore, the third round is another treacherous gamble.
I dare to bet that Yu Shuang is definitely up to something mischievous again!
