Chapter 29: Wagering His All

"It's not entirely certain. If she draws a 4, it's a tie. But her chances of winning can't be more than 0.1%."

"Little Li really lives up to being our casino's expert. He understands this better than any of us."

"Yang Shihao must be incredibly lucky today. Winning fifty million feels like finding money falling from the sky."

"Oh, when luck comes, nothing can stop it. It's something you can't envy."

"..."

Listening to the praises around him, Yang Shihao became overly confident. He smirked, crossing his legs and sneering at Gu Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, it seems like your dress is doomed."

"It's not over until it's over. Mr. Yang seems quite confident," Gu Mingzhu replied with a hint of a smile.

Yang Shihao sneered, "You're being stubborn till the end. Let's see if you can still smile after this."

Gu Mingzhu looked at the dealer and drew a fourth card.

As she held the card, the entire venue held its breath. Yang Shihao's eyes were fixed on Gu Mingzhu's hand, his throat tightening and his heart racing.

Gu Mingzhu slowly revealed the card, and gasps filled the room. "It's a 5! She got 21! Gu Mingzhu won!"

"It's incredible! Who would've thought Gu Mingzhu would win this round!"

"Yang Shihao had 20 points and still lost..."

Surrounded by the sounds of regret and surprise, Yang Shihao's eyes reddened, his breath becoming erratic.

"How is this possible... How!"

Seeing his disoriented state, Gu Mingzhu pretended to be pleasantly surprised, "Oh my, how did I win? Did Mr. Yang let me win?"

Hearing her words, Yang Shihao's eyes widened in anger.

Seeing the dealer push his chips to Gu Mingzhu's side, Yang Shihao felt as if his heart was bleeding.

This woman!

How did her luck suddenly change?

"Mr. Yang, are you continuing or not? If not, I'll leave." Gu Mingzhu looked up, her eyes languid, bewitching, and a little lazy.

Yang Shihao thought she had won by sheer luck and sneered, "Winning and wanting to run? Where's such a good deal in the world?"

Leaning back in her chair, Gu Mingzhu said softly, "I thought Mr. Yang might run out of chips. I wouldn't want him to feel embarrassed."

Her words hit Yang Shihao hard.

He thought he had everything under control, believing he could play a few more rounds, at least until he saw Gu Mingzhu remove her clothes.

But he never expected to lose fifty million in a single round!

Thinking of this, Yang Shihao's face grew darker.

He didn't have much money left, barely six million in his account. Losing fifty million in one go, he couldn't raise that much cash. But if he wanted to turn the tables, he had to continue gambling.

Yang Shihao's face remained stern. He was certain Gu Mingzhu wouldn't be so lucky again. He signaled to a waiter, whispering something.

Everyone saw Yang Shihao handing the waiter a key to a safe. Thinking he was getting more chips, they paid no mind.

Gu Mingzhu's smile deepened, but her eyes were icy.

While others might not know, she was all too aware.

Yang Shihao was out of money. He must have mortgaged his two small companies and properties to get more chips.

But even that wouldn't be enough. After all this trouble, she wanted him to wager everything he had.
