Chapter 647: The Mad Gambler!

West Gate.

Amidst a fruit orchard exuding a fragrant aroma, it was so dark that one couldn’t see their hand in front of them.

But deep inside the orchard, there stood a house.

The air conditioning unit outside the house was humming loudly, while inside it was bustling.

Yet, within less than an hour, the woman sitting in the southeast corner experienced the most terrifying ups and downs of her life.

Just an hour ago, she had fought her way from two hundred thousand in chips to nearly one million!

But an hour later, not only had she lost all her one million, but she also owed fifty thousand more!

The woman, drenched in cold sweat, held the cards with trembling hands, continuously blowing on them.

A card that could be flipped at any moment, she blew on it for a solid two minutes without the courage to reveal it.

The others at the table, having long lost patience, said:

"Are you going to reveal it or not? If you’re so slow, why don’t we give you a chance and leave you a thousand bucks for a meal?"

"Don’t you dare piss me off, I’m going to win for sure!"

The woman snarled ferociously.

The person who was scolded didn’t mind; he simply chuckled twice, crossed his arms, and lit a cigarette.

Finally, the woman couldn’t withstand the inner torment and slammed the card onto the table with a bite of her teeth.

But as soon as she revealed the card, her face turned instantly pale and bloodless.

"Ha ha, I told you to leave a thousand but you didn’t listen; see what happens now, you’ve got nothing left!"

"Ha ha ha, who said she’s left with nothing? I reckon quite a bit."

"Bullshit, last time she owed me, and she gave it all... ha ha ha."

As if she couldn’t hear the others’ words, the woman slumped in the chair.

But soon, when her gaze met a middle-aged man in the room, she immediately plastered on a smile and kneeled down in front of the man with a thud.

She clasped the man’s thighs tightly, showering him with flattery:

"Brother Yong, give me fifty thousand more, a total of one hundred thousand, I’ll return it in three days, how about it?"

The man Brother Yong chuckled: "Ah Qin, it’s not that Brother Yong doesn’t want to help you, last time I lent you ten thousand and you dragged it for a month; you only paid it back tonight. But not even a day has passed, and now you ask me for fifty thousand. It’s not five thousand, ten thousand, it’s fifty thousand!"

"Brother Yong, I know you’re a good person, how about thirty thousand? I promise I’ll return the money within three days!"

Brother Yong squinted: "What do you have to pay me back?"

"Brother Yong, you may not know this, but my boyfriend has been making big money lately; tonight’s ten thousand repayment and my initial twenty thousand capital were from him. It’s nothing compared to what he has, so you don’t have to worry, hundreds of thousands—it’s nothing."

The people in the room burst out laughing.

"You can’t deny, Ah Qin is quite formidable in her skills apart from gambling."

"Of course, otherwise, why would her boyfriend give her so much money?"

"It’s a pity that such a good guy turned out to be a loser, ha ha ha!"

No matter how loud others were joking, the woman remained indifferent, single-mindedly begging Brother Yong.

But he just kicked his foot and indifferently said: "Lend and repay, borrowing isn’t hard. Ah Qin, three days later, I want to see the fifty thousand you borrowed tonight, otherwise, you know the consequences."

"Brother Yong, please help me one more time!"

"Brother Yong!"

The woman cried out repeatedly, her forehead constantly banging on the ground.

The sound of "bang bang bang" made all the gamblers shake their heads in helplessness.

But whether out of pity or annoyance, another woman brought by familiar patrons stepped forward at this point and supported Ah Qin:

"Sister, what are you doing? Opening doors, running a casino, lending and repaying is normal. But completely blocking the door for just fifty thousand, I see this boss isn’t that great."

The woman’s words made Brother Yong pause immediately.

Then looked at the person beside the woman, his eyes flashed with a hint of brightness.

"Miss, you’ve got quite an attitude, just fifty thousand?"

"Is it a lot? I meant to not say anything, but a bunch of men bullying a woman—what’s the point? Sister, don’t worry, sit back at the table, my capital will cover you!"

"Really? Sister!" Ah Qin’s eyes filled with hope.

The woman nodded, Ah Qin asked again: "If I win, split half and half?"

"Half and half? Okay, I helped because I don’t like those men, so half and half then."

The woman placed the box she carried onto the table; it was packed with cash.

Brother Yong, seeing this, didn’t care about what the woman said earlier and warmly invited Ah Qin to take a seat.

Once seated, perhaps buoyed by having someone behind her, her luck surprisingly got better and better.

After over an hour, she turned her luck around and won tens of thousands back.

Just as she prepared to show off her skills, the woman suddenly pressed the dealer’s hand.

"Alright, let’s stop here for today, know when to quit."

Ah Qin’s expression changed: "Sister, this isn’t even enough to pay Brother Yong back."

The woman laughed: "Here’s seventy thousand, I’ll take thirty-five, you take thirty-five. Brother Yong said three days, right? Three days later, this thirty-five will be your capital."

Brother Yong frowned: "No way, I said three days because she was out of money, so I gave her time to gather it. Now that she won it back and wants to leave the table, the money needs to be repaid first."

The woman ignored him, collected her thirty-five thousand, and acted as if she wasn’t concerned about Ah Qin anymore.

Brother Yong noticed the trend, quickly took the other thirty-five thousand, and said: "Ah Qin, remember to repay the remaining fifteen thousand in three days."

Leaving this message, Brother Yong left, and the woman also retreated into the crowd.

But at this point, Ah Qin felt like countless ants were biting her all over.

Uncomfortable!

Incredibly uncomfortable!

Even worse than when she lost previously and was in despair!

She immediately held the woman’s arm, pleading:

"Sister, you’re kind enough, lend me a bit more! I’m sure with this lucky streak, I can win again, what if we split it seventy-thirty?"

The woman frowned: "Earlier I was willing to go half with you, now... you say seventy-thirty?"

"Half is fine too! As long as you lend me, forty-sixty is fine!"

The woman shook her head with a smile: "Girl, I felt a connection which is why I helped you earlier. But if you trust me, stop for tonight and tomorrow night we’ll come back and beat them thoroughly."

Ah Qin heard this, still unwilling, but as she was about to speak, she saw the woman’s face turn cold, so she quickly said:

"Alright, alright, then let’s return tomorrow night to clean them out!"

The woman smiled and nodded, turning to leave.

Ah Qin hesitated slightly but hurriedly followed, saying:

"Wait for me, sister!"

The two women disappeared into the orchard.

And when Ah Qin emerged from the orchard into a car, the streetlights just about illuminated her face.

Her face was filled with fear!
