Xiaojinâs face flushed red with anger. He stared at Luo Qiqi as he said, âYou talk big. Be careful!â
Luo Qiqi looked at him with disdain. âWeâll know very soon whoâs talking big.â
President Qian patted him on the shoulder to calm him down before Xiaojin could get any angrier.
Gu Yiâan settled himself into a nearby sofa to view the game.
President Qian said, âIâll sit back just like Mr. Pingan here, so this can be a fair match!â
He then moved over to the sofa.
Luo Qiqi wanted to laugh when she heard âMr. Pinganâ.
Am I the only one who thinks that the name doesnât suit him at all?
The game was about to begin as Xiaojin walked up to the table.
âChoose any one you like and bet big money on it!â
Letting me have the freedom of choice? Isnât she afraid of losing at all??Thereâs no point in being nice then.
He chose something he was good at, Blackjack.
Gu Yiâan watched the game silently, as if he knew that Luo Qiqi would not lose.
In fact, he was confident that theyâd still be able to get out of this place even if she lost.
After the first round, Luo Qiqiâs chips doubled while Xiaojin suffered heavy losses.
He watched Luo Qiqi cautiously.?Itâs no surprise sheâs that arrogant. She does have some skills.
President Qian was up next. Having observed the game earlier, he could tell that Luo Qiqi was playing a psychological game. Xiaojin was not adept at that, and it was no surprise that he lost.
From how Gu Yiâan and Luo Qiqi behaved after arriving, he already knew that they were not ordinary individuals, but he definitely did not expect them to be this good.
Luo Qiqi smirked at President Qian. âWhat would you like to play next, President Qian?â
âBlackjack!â He answered calmly.
Luo Qiqi gave a bright smile. âNot afraid of losing like Xiaojin? Iâll place a large bet this time!â
President Qian ignored her and the match began shortly.
After one game, Luo Qiqi had fifty million dollars worth of chips on her hand. President Qianâs expression was dreadful.
All of a sudden, he asked, âHow about we try the slot machines?â
Luo Qiqi glanced at Gu Yiâan. Though winning at slot machines was more dependent on luck, the overall odds were still in favor of the casino.
Gu Yiâan stood up and said, âTired, Xiaoqi? How about you take a rest? Iâll try my hand at the slot machines with President Qian. Weâll bet all fifty million dollars of our chips on this match. Whether we win or lose, itâll be the last game.â
Before they started, Gu Yiâan hit the slot machine lightly under the watchful eyes of President Qian. President Qian did not comment on this even though he had seen it.
After placing their bets, they watched the slot machine run, only to see Gu Yiâan raking in the winnings.
President Qian was surprised to see this. Whatâs up with the casino? Why are they letting others win?
In fact, the slot machine was indeed rigged, but it malfunctioned for some reason.
Gu Yiâan now had a hundred million dollars worth of chips on hand.
Luo Qiqi grinned like a Cheshire cat.?What amazing earnings!
She looked at her watch and realized it was already seven thirty in the evening.
She thus collected all their chips into a bag and smiled at Gu Yiâan. âLetâs go, Yiâan!â
Before they could leave, President Qian scoffed at them. âDo you think weâll let you go that easily?â
Gu Yiâan turned back to look at him. âWhy not?â
He knew very well that no one would dare open fire in Emperor City, especially if they were running a business. They could not take such a risk.
President Qian balled his fists.
âLetâs see if you can escape!â
Luo Qiqi smiled broadly. âItching for a fight?â
President Qian and Xiaojin were surprised at how smug Luo Qiqi was. Isnât she scared?
Before they could react, Luo Qiqi threw the bag of chips into Gu Yiâanâs arms. âHold this, Yiâan. Itâs been a long time since Iâve exercised. I should make use of this opportunity today.â
Gu Yiâan turned away as he heard the men get beaten up by Luo Qiqi. What an embarrassment to all males, he thought to himself.
After the fight was over, Luo Qiqi dusted off her hands and walked away with poise, leaving the two men groaning in pain.
The room was monitored by security cameras, but seeing how Luo Qiqi defeated two men single-handedly, none of the staff dared get involved.
It was obvious that Gu Yiâan and Luo Qiqi were not people they should trifle with.
The staff were also very respectful when they exchanged their chips.
Luo Qiqi instructed them to credit the winnings directly into her bank account after passing them her bank card, smacking her lips in satisfaction as she received the notification on her mobile phone.
She then turned to leave the casino with Gu Yiâan, happy with her earnings.
Gu Yiâan felt something amiss immediately after they exited the casino. He pulled Luo Qiqi closer and said, âQiqi, careful. Thereâs a bunch of people following us!â
Luo Qiqi was aware of this, but she wondered why anyone would follow them out of the casino. Were they upset that we won this much?
That didnât make sense. Those from the casino wouldnât have followed us so openly like that anyway.
Instead of getting into the car, they headed towards a tiny alley nearby.
The footsteps behind them quickened.
When they were in the alley, Luo Qiqi and Gu Yiâan turned around to see a bunch of men holding weapons.
Luo Qiqi smirked at them.?Trying to surround us?
Gu Yiâan scratched his nose. âAre you taking the left or right?â
Luo Qiqi laughed. âI prefer to go left!â
Gu Yiâan nodded.
The men were annoyed that they were being underestimated like that.
Gu Yiâan did not realize that the men were the very same group of people who had targeted him that night at the bar.
Someone had actually hired them to give Gu Yiâan a scare.
It was the perfect opportunity for them to take revenge for what happened that night!
They lunged at Gu Yiâan and Luo Qiqi.
Gu Yiâan reminded Luo Qiqi, âCareful of the knives!â
He then sent one of the men flying with a powerful kick.
Luo Qiqi dodged nimbly and disarmed the man who was right in front of her. She grabbed his knife and stabbed it into his thigh, causing him to howl in pain.
Seeing how Luo Qiqi overpowered one of them so easily, the men started becoming frightful.
Luo Qiqi happened to be itching for a fight right at this moment.
She rushed up to start beating them up when they hesitated in their attack. She ran up against a wall and sent a few of them flying with her kicks.
Is this really a woman? Why is she so powerful?
Though Gu Yiâan did not rush at the men like Luo Qiqi did, no one was able to beat him either.
With one of them pinned under his left foot and another firmly immobilized, he asked in a gentle voice, âWho are you guys and why are you here? Iâm giving you three seconds to answer me. Iâll spare whoever answers first.â
Though his voice was gentle, it carried a nightmarish undertone.
None of the men answered him.
Gu Yiâan laughed. âNo answer? Iâll send the both of you to hell then!â
He then snapped one of their necks instantly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
