Zhao Yu casually responded a few times while brushing his teeth, all the while sporadically chatting with Qiao Bing Bing.

Zhao Yu undressed and went to bed. After a bit more chatting, he glanced at the time, told her he was going to sleep, and ended the conversation.

Inside the dormitory, the other three roommates were also considerate. They turned off their computers one after another, began their nightly routines, and prepared to sleep.

Meanwhile, Huang Zi Long returned home, reporting on the situation.

“Pa ~!”

Before he could finish, Huang Zi Long was slapped.

“Unfilial son!”

“Is this how you squander my money?!” Huang Jian Sheng angrily reprimanded.

Huang Zi Long remained silent.

Seeing his son like this, Huang Jian Sheng felt a pang of pity. After all, it was his own son.

Huang Jian Sheng accepted the situation and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“My idea is, with Su Xiao Xiao as a witness, even though she’s young, she’s still from the Su family…”

“So, we have to pay that ten million, and the gamble must continue…”

Huang Jian Sheng showed a relieved expression. If Huang Zi Long had mentioned anything about killing Zhao Yu, Huang Jian Sheng would have risked his reputation to find a young woman and have another son.

“That’s right. Given the reputation of the our and Su family, we can’t harm Zhao Yu. On the contrary, we have to protect him and ensure the gamble goes smoothly.”

After pondering for a moment, Huang Jian Sheng continued, “This might also present an opportunity.”

“What kind of opportunity?” Huang Zi Long was puzzled.

“An opportunity to get in touch with the Su Family…”

Huang Jian Sheng’s eyes lit up.” Also, as long as we handle it well, we can also increase our reputation…”

Like everyone else, Huang Jian Sheng assumed that Zhao Yu instigated the gamble to win ten million for Liu Si Yu, never considering the possibility that Zhao Yu might win.

The next day, early in the morning, news of Zhao Yu’s gamble with Huang Zi Long spread throughout Bing City University.

The news created a significant stir, and many were questioning its authenticity.

When they learned that the news came from several second-generation rich kids, the frenzy heightened.

“Have you heard? The guy who jumped into the lake, Zhao Yu, is staking his life against Huang Zi Long for ten million.”

“Huang Zi Long agreed.”

“That’s ten million we’re talking about.”

“Is Zhao Yu’s life really worth ten million?”

“The time frame is one month, which means Huang Zi Long has paid ten million for Zhao Yu’s life.”

“This reminds me of a question I saw on a forum a couple of days ago. It mentioned ‘if you were given ten million but only had a month to live, how would you spend it?’”

“What else could he do with it? Given Zhao Yu’s infatuated demeanor, he’s definitely giving it to Liu Si Yu!”

“That’s right, 1 heard Liu Si Yu’s family has two elders, and their exemption fees amount exactly ten million.”

“I also heard that Zhao Yu’s gamble with Huang Zi Long began because Liu Si Yu told him she needed ten million.”

“That Zhao Yu… he’s such a fool.”

“Heh, if he were like you, how could he be considered the most passionate man in Bing City?”

At the school, from teachers to students, everyone was discussing the matter of Zhao Yu.

If it was just about jumping into the lake or dying for love, not everyone would be interested. But with the addition of the ten million stakes, it immediately became the talk of the town.

For most people, ten million was an astronomical figure that they would never earn in their lifetime.

For most people, 10 million was an astronomical figure that they would never be able to earn in their lifetime.

Early in the morning, before Zhao Yu even woke up, there was a knock on his dormitory door.

It was people who had come upon hearing the rumors, wanting to confirm the veracity of the story.

The dorm president, who slept by the door, groggily opened it to find a crowd pushing their way in.

“What the hell are you guys doing?!”

The president was startled by the sea of people.

The noise also woke up the others in the room, including Zhao Yu.

“Zhao Yu, did you really bet ten million with your life?!”

“Zhao Yu, is what they said true?!”

Before Zhao Yu could even get up, a group surrounded his bed, chattering away.

The other three roommates were baffled. As they listened to the others, they slowly began to grasp the situation. Their faces turned to sheer astonishment as they stared incredulously at Zhao Yu.

Surrounded by such a crowd, Zhao Yu remained calm, methodically getting out of bed and slowly getting dressed.

As if influenced by his calm demeanor, the crowd gradually quieted down, waiting until Zhao Yu was fully dressed and standing before someone finally couldn’t help but ask again.

Only then did Zhao Yu nod slowly and said, “Yes, I indeed have a bet with Huang Zi Long.”

“Shh~~!”

Everyone present took a sharp intake of breath.

“And the ten million stake?”

“That’s true too.”

“What about you staking your life?”

“As a commoner, who would be willing to give me ten million if I didn’t stake my life?”

Everyone present was shocked after hearing him speak so casually about it.

Little did they know, they had such a figure right beside them.

While the starting point might be merely for a woman, he did stake his life on it!

“Ten million! Zhao Yu, you’re rich now. Can you lend me some money to spend?” A young man with dyed yellow hair stepped forward to say.

Indeed, Zhao Yu has ten million, and if he was to share some of it…

“Sure, how much do you want to borrow?” Zhao Yu chuckled and replied.

“A hundred thousand…”

“You have ten million. Lending me two hundred thousand isn’t too much, right?”

Upon hearing Zhao Yu’s agreement, he quickly blurted out a number.

Upon hearing this, others couldn’t restrain themselves anymore and started asking for money too.

“Zhao Yu, lend me fifty thousand. I want to treat my wife…”

“Zhao Yu, I just need five thousand for a new phone…”

Some people weren’t genuinely asking for a loan; they just felt that if there’s a chance to gain something, they should take advantage.

Zhao Yu smirked. A casual remark, and these people took it so seriously.

Indeed, wealth sways the heart. A mere ten million could make people lose their senses.

“I can lend the money, but you’ll need to do something for me in return…” said by Zhao Yu.

Hearing this, everyone became even more excited.

“Zhao Yu, just tell us! Even if it’s ten tasks, I’m willing to do them…”

“That’s right, just say it…”

“The rumor outside is that the price to hire someone to kill is twenty thousand…”

“By that standard, if anyone helps me with that, 1’11 lend them money…”

The room instantly became silent.

The yellow-haired guy seemed displeased, “Zhao Yu, are you making fun of us?”

“Do you think my money just fell from the sky?” Zhao Yu sneered.

Zhao Yu’s money was indeed staked against Huang Zi Long with his life.

With only one moth of life span, it also implying that a month of his most reckless moment.

A man about to die might do anything!

“Zhao Yu, I was just joking earlier, don’t take it too serious..”

Someone suddenly became fearful and took their leave.

They scattered, including the three dorm mates, who were also surprised to see it.

Only the yellow-haired guy remained.

“Do you dare to kill?” Zhao Yu asked him.

Though he might seem a bit rogue, he was still just an ordinary student. He

had been in fights, but he had never thought about killing.

Yet he genuinely needed the money.

After a moment of conflict, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

“Boss Yu, Twenty thousand is too little; you’ll have to offer more….”
