Chapter 559: I’ll Bet A Finger, Is That Enough?

On the way home, Su Yuhan carried Mengmeng while listening to Ye Chen and his daughter’s experience in Jinling.

When she heard that the organizer of the competition openly violated the fairness of the competition and awarded the first prize to Zhao Yang of the Zhao family, she could not help but show her anger despite her personality. She looked up at Ye Chen who was driving, “Y-You didn’t kill anyone, did you?”

“Am I, your husband, a demon who kills for no reason?” Ye Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Anyone who died at his hands would have touched his bottom line or someone who was a threat to him.

“That’s great!”

Su Yuhan heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She was really worried that Ye Chen would do something outrageous in front of her daughter during their trip.

“By the way, who were you meeting in the room earlier?”

Ye Chen then asked.

“Just a friend that Youwei introduced. I had a chat with him.”

Su Yuhan hesitated for a while. In the end, she did not tell him the truth. She could vaguely sense that there seemed to be some grudges between Ye Chen and her sister. If she told him about Su Youwei introducing her to Master Tian, Ye Chen would probably dislike her even more.

Ye Chen, who was driving, did not sense anything wrong with her expression. Instead, he said, “Try to stay away from your sister in the future.”

“What’s wrong with Youwei?” Su Yuhan asked instinctively.

“Your sister is mischievous. I thought her personality would change after two months of not seeing her. Never did I expect her to stay the same,” Ye Chen shook his head lightly.

“By the way, since you mentioned her, I recalled her boyfriend, Lin Han. I’ve never seen him before.”

Su Yuhan seemed to have recalled something. She said with a slight frown, “Youwei called me before too. She never mentioned this person to me over the phone. She even told me that she has known Lin Han for less than half a month.”

Speaking up to this point, she was a little worried, “They’ve only known each other for less than half a month, and they’re already in a relationship? Youwei is being a little ridiculous. Seems like I’ll have to ask her to come to our home and find out more about Lin Han. She’s one of my few family members I’m left with in this world now.”

Ye Chen smiled but he said nothing. However, there were gleams flashing in his eyes, ‘Shang Santian? I don’t care where you’re from. If you become my enemy, I’ll kill you!’

...

On the next night, a black BMW drove into the largest underground casino in Lin City, the Crystal Palace. The entrance to the casino was located in the underground garage.

When Ye Chen got out of the car, Lin Tai and Yang Tian, who were already waiting, came up to him. Ye Chen lifted his eyes and looked around. He asked, “Are those people here?”

“Not yet, but I think they will be soon!”

Lin Tai shook his head slightly and said, “My lord, I’ll bring you in first. Everything has been prepared inside.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly and walked into the elevator in the garage under the duo’s lead. As the elevator was activated, an extremely spacious and bright lobby entered his sight. The lobby was filled with all sorts of gambling equipment, but there were not many people at the moment.

Yang Tian could not help but say as if he sensed Ye Chen’s confusion, “Old Ye, Ah Tai’s casino used to be bustling with business. However, ever since those guys came, it lost many customers.”

“My lord, what you see is only the first floor of the casino. Let’s go to the third floor and wait. The third floor is mainly for leisure and food,” Lin Tai introduced.

“Eh?!”

At that moment, Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise. He was looking at a gambling table on the first floor of the casino.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Tai and Yang Tian followed his voice and looked over immediately. They saw many people gathered at the gambling table.

There were only two people sitting there. One of them was a slightly plump middle-aged man who was dressed like a foreign businessman with many chips in front of him, and the other was a boy around 14 or 15.

There was a beautiful dealer playing cards before the duo. The two of them were obviously playing showhand poker. Compared to the mountain of chips before the middle-aged man, the boy had nothing. He looked beaten.

“Why is this kid here?”

Ye Chen focused his gaze on the little boy. He was Zhao Xiaotian, the mother and son of the Zhao family whom the patriarch could not let go before he went into closed-door cultivation.

“My lord, you might not know this, but the patriarch often gives money to this Zhao brat. This brat only eats, drinks, gambles, and smokes. He actually came to our casino to play a while ago.”

Lin Tai was afraid that Ye Chen would be angry, so he explained immediately, “We chased this brat out in the beginning. However, he brought out a box of money and scattered it all over the entrance of our casino. He even said that he has money, so why couldn’t he come in? We couldn’t do anything to him because of the patriarch, so we can only turn a blind eye!”

“Old Ye, you have no idea how crazy this kid is!”

At the mention of him, Yang Tian beamed with joy, “This guy is more addicted to gambling than anyone else. He lost two million yuan in less than three days after coming to this casino. In the end, he even borrowed money from loan sharks. If it weren’t for Ah Tai’s secret help, the debt collectors would have beaten him to death and thrown them into the sewers!”

As they were talking, the elevator arrived at the third floor. Ye Chen walked into a private room and sat down. He lifted his eyes to look at Zhao Xiaotian below and said in a deep voice, “Did the patriarch give him that much money?”

“I’m not sure about that!”

Yang Tian shook his head, “In any case, the patriarch treats this kid like his own son. I wonder what the patriarch sees in him.”

“Why? Are you jealous? Why don’t you be his godson when the patriarch returns? I’ll be the middleman and host a banquet where father and son reunite,” teased Lin Tai.

Yang Tian almost threw a punch at him, “Get lost!”

Naturally, the patriarch merely wanted the boy’s body!

Ye Chen secretly laughed. Just when he was about to say something, he heard a loud laughter coming from below, “Hahaha, brat, do you still have money to play?”

The person who spoke was the foreign merchant.

Compared to his smugness, Zhao Xiaotian, who was sitting across him, looked dejected. He picked up his cards and looked at them again. They were a pair of A’s. He then tossed the remaining 2,000 yuan worth of chips on the table, “I want to see your cards!”

“Brat, you want to see my cards with a mere two thousand yuan? Dream on! If you don’t have the money, then admit defeat and go back to drinking milk for a few years more!” The middle-aged merchant smirked.

The crowd laughed as well.

There were originally six people in this round of showhand poker, but it lasted for half an hour. Four people withdrew along the way, and during the game, the middle-aged merchant had never shown his cards before. He had been covering them.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a battle of wits and chips, and Zhao Xiaotian was obviously not his match.

Zhao Xiaotian was driven into a rage when he heard this, and his face flushed. He seemed to have thought of something, and he gritted his teeth as he said, “You can open this hand for 30,000 yuan at most. I’ll bet a finger. Is that enough for you?”
