Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Isn’t it awesome? Si Mingjing gets rich overnight! 3 [Extra release to thank monthly pass]
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Even though this money isn’t mine, why is my blood boiling like this?"
"If Si Mingjing wins this round, she could win over 52.42 million! But if she loses, she’ll forfeit a ten-year tariff-free contract. It’s too thrilling!"
"I mistook her for a bronze player, but it turns out she’s a king with five diamonds backing her!"
"This woman is so damn daring! My heart is about to leap out of my chest! But I still want to follow her lead!"
Everyone here was a gambler, committed to this crazy woman.
"Bet on ’None’! Bet on ’None’! Bet on ’None’!"
The entire casino was filled with the voices of players so excited they sounded like they were about to burst a blood vessel: "Open it! Open it! Open it! Open it quickly!"
"Wait a second!"
Qu Gaoyang dashed over, stopping the Croupier from prying open the clamshell!
Everyone turned to look at Qu Gaoyang. If it weren’t for his noble status, the gamblers would have cursed him. What does this mean? Can’t take the heat?
This is the most crucial round, and he’s not letting the Croupier open the clamshell? This is worse than watching a drama for over forty episodes, about to reach the grand finale, only for the series to suddenly get pulled. It’s sickening! Is this something a human would do?
Qu Gaoyang had been constipated for half an hour, but even that hadn’t felt as unbearable as this moment! He looked at the mountain of chips heaped upon the gambling table, his vision spinning, a chill running through him. My God, had he seen a ghost? He’d only been away for a brief moment, and the situation had already spiraled out of control? This was his casino, after all!
Why did Mo Yinhe make every visit with women feel like a walk in his own backyard, counting money with his eyes closed? The winnings seemed to come effortlessly! Had Mo Yinhe’s research team developed some new technology that no other country had mastered yet? And that’s why no cheating devices were detected?
Qu Gaoyang strode over and slammed his palm on the table. "Mo Yinhe, you dare to cheat in my casino!"
Mo Yinhe lazily lifted his gaze. The accusation was all too familiar.
"Prince Gaoyang, you said these exact words five years ago. Are you sure you want to relive that nightmare?"
Five years ago, when his ’Pearl’ ultimately won, Qu Gaoyang had erupted in fury, accusing them of cheating. And the result? Obviously, no cheating was detected! Furthermore, when his ’Pearl’ lost his temper, he led hundreds of gamblers to wreak havoc throughout the entire Underground City! What did that mean? It meant hundreds of gamblers had followed his ’Pearl,’ cleaning out every single gambling table! His ’Pearl,’ along with all the gamblers, won money for three straight nights, never losing once. The scene was like swarms of termites passing through, leaving not even a bone behind... It was horrific! So devilish!
To this day, the memory still made Qu Gaoyang ache severely.
Si Mingjing glanced at the time. "Three minutes left."
"Open it! Open it! Open it!"
"Not opening it now means the casino is stalling for time!"
"Right, right, right! Open it, open it, open it!"
The entire Underground City erupted. All the gamblers became Si Mingjing’s support group, sharing her glory and her losses! Whoever could lead them to win money was their daddy!
Qu Gaoyang’s face was indescribably foul! He absolutely wasn’t mourning the 50 million! Fifty million was less than the Underground City’s daily net profit. What truly pained him was his pride! He had just been on the phone with Feng Chonghua, bragging that he was about to make a comeback, and then, in the blink of an eye, he got slapped in the face!
Time ticked away, second by second. Two minutes and thirty seconds left. The gamblers were even more anxious than Si Mingjing!
The star Croupier looked at Qu Gaoyang, waiting for his instructions.
Qu Gaoyang simply refused to nod!
So what if I just drag it out? So what if I act shamelessly? If acting shamelessly could nullify a ten-year tariff-free contract, only a fool wouldn’t do it! Qu Gaoyang thought.
"Open it! Open it! Open it!" The gamblers grew angry.
Si Mingjing glanced at the time again.
"One minute and fifty seconds left."
Qu Gaoyang’s pale face suddenly glowed with vitality, and he looked at Si Mingjing with smug satisfaction. How delightful it was to see her flustered!
Mo Yinhe suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Qu Gaoyang, if you deliberately delay tonight and spoil my woman’s fun, I assure you, I will bring her to your Underground City every day until it goes bankrupt!"
Qu Gaoyang pulled up a chair and sat down, ignoring him!
So what if it goes bankrupt! What is bankruptcy compared to ten years of zero tariffs?
"And..." Mo Yinhe’s deep voice drawled, heavy with oppression, "Heh, take a good look. What do you see?"
Mo Yinhe sent a message to Qu Gaoyang.
Qu Gaoyang opened it and was shocked. It contained evidence of how he, since becoming Crown Prince, had plundered the people’s wealth to fatten his private coffers. There were also several other significant secrets he thought were unknown—but Mo Yinhe knew?
Qu Gaoyang suddenly stood up, looking at Mo Yinhe in horror!
Mo Yinhe said, "Tell me, if I send these to Qu Liushang, will your position as Crown Prince remain secure?"
If this evidence were made public, Qu Liushang would undoubtedly unseat him from his position as Crown Prince!
"Don’t force me to present Qu Liushang with such a generous gift!"
Qu Gaoyang’s face twitched violently. He really wanted to draw a gun and blow Mo Yinhe away right then and there! But would acting on impulse really be the wise thing to do at this moment?
Mo Yinhe looked down, his eyes filled with doting affection as he gazed at Si Mingjing in his arms. "Mingjing, how much time is left now?"
"Fifty-seven seconds."
"Good. Then I’ll give Prince Gaoyang ten seconds to think about it. Mingjing, would you count for me, please?"
Si Mingjing didn’t know what trick Mo Yinhe was playing, but seeing the look on Prince Gaoyang’s face, he was clearly threatened. This was quite satisfying.
Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she leisurely started the countdown, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2..."
"Open!" The word seemed to be squeezed from between Qu Gaoyang’s teeth as he nearly leapt out of his chair. "Open! Open it now!"
Fifty million, that’s all! Ten years of zero tariffs, that’s all! Compared to his position as Crown Prince, what were these? Qu Gaoyang was not ignorant of the stakes! Indeed, he was threatened by Mo Yinhe! Son of a bitch! Mo Yinhe, one day I will kill you!
"Open! Open! Open!"
The gamblers’ eyes were all fixed on the star Croupier’s hands. Just over forty seconds remained.
But the star Croupier’s movements as he tried to pry open the clamshell were agonizingly slow!
"Damn it, hurry up!"
"This casino’s delay tactics are utterly shameless!"
The gamblers were all fuming!
The star Croupier could have sworn he wasn’t intentionally delaying; he was genuinely so nervous that his hands were trembling and his entire body was stiff!
"Countdown: fifteen seconds, fourteen seconds, thirteen seconds... ten seconds... seven seconds... three seconds..."
"It’s open!"
In the very last two seconds, the star Croupier opened the clamshell.
All eyes turned to look...
There was nothing. The entire place erupted!
"Hahaha! No Pearl! There’s no Pearl!"
"We won! We won!"
"Si Mingjing, that woman! Is she a devil?"
"No, she’s the Gambling Goddess! She’s the new Gambling Goddess!"
Si Mingjing also whirled around, instantly throwing her arms around Mo Yinhe’s neck and hugging him in her excitement.
She had become filthy rich overnight! She had become filthy rich in one night!
