Ji Youzhi had no choice, but Dugu was caught up in his winning streak.
He gawked at the heap of mixed silver notes and coins in front of Xiaosuisui, piled up like a small mountain.
Daringly, just as the dealer across from him was about to reveal the dice cup, he shouted, "Wait!"
The crowd looked at him, puzzled.
Xiaosuisui was also confused and turned to ask, "What is it, Uncle Dugu?"
Dugu whispered sothing into Xiaosuisui’s ear, and the onlookers saw Xiaosuisui’s eyes light up.
She clapped her small hands together and exclaid, "Uncle Dugu is so clever! Let’s do it this way!"
The dealer across from them eyed Dugu suspiciously. "What are you up to, young man?"
Dugu shrugged, grinned, and said, "You’ll find out soon!" He then burst into laughter.
"You..." The dealer, infuriated and exasperated, pointed his finger at Dugu’s nose, unable to utter an insult.
However, Xiaosuisui had already unveiled Dugu’s audacious plan. "Uncle Dugu says I should bet it all!"
With a push of her small hands, she sent all the silver and silver notes in front of her to the center of the table, declaring, "I’m betting it all on Big!"
Ji Youzhi’s face instantly changed.
He quickly looked around but didn’t see Zhu Xiuxiu, which ant she hadn’t arrived yet.
Damn Dugu, always making trouble for !
He muttered to himself. He had no choice but to go along with it, so he steeled himself and stayed close to Xiaosuisui, providing protection.
Dugu was extrely excited.
"Raise the stakes! Raise the stakes! Isn’t it ti for the dealer to raise them too? If you can’t even cover this small amount, who will dare to play at your Gambling House in the future? Don’t you all agree?"
The crowd of gamblers imdiately picked up his chant, shouting loudly.
"Exactly!"
"Can’t your Gambling House even afford this small bet?"
"If that’s the case, we won’t co to your Gambling House to play anymore!"
The gamblers shouted in unison, like a well-trained troop of soldiers.
Xiaosuisui lightly waved her hand, and the gamblers promptly quieted down, their obedience absolute.
Dugu’s lips twitched at the sight. Isn’t this just too damn impressive? How is it that she acts more like a Grand General than I, the actual Grand General, do?
"Their Gambling House has money!" Xiaosuisui’s childish voice echoed throughout the hall.
Upstairs, Sister Ying’Er and the others who were watching couldn’t help but feel their lips twitch. Of course, people who open a Gambling House have money.
"Bring fifty thousand taels of silver down. I’ll go et her personally!" Sister Ying’Er instructed her subordinates as she prepared to descend the stairs. One of her attendants quickly reminded her.
"Sister Ying’Er, should we notify the Boss and ask him to use so of his connections to deal with these people..."
THWACK! Before he could finish, another attendant smacked him hard on the head.
"Are you an idiot? We have to handle this ourselves! If we have to bother the Boss for every little thing, will he still trust us in the future? And will Sister Ying’Er still be able to hold her position with him?"
His words were like daggers to the heart, and Sister Ying’Er’s face turned pale.
"Both of you, shut up!"
Sister Ying’Er gritted her teeth. "So what if it’s a tough custor? We’ve been with the Boss for so many years. What kind of tough custor haven’t we seen? This is just a re child. There’s no gambler I, Sister Ying’Er, can’t handle!"
Finishing her speech, she waved her hand again. "Quickly, go get the fifty thousand taels of silver!"
Downstairs in the main hall, the gamblers playing with Xiaosuisui were ecstatic, all clamoring for the dealer to raise the stakes.
The dealer was drenched in sweat, his lips pale. It’s over. I’ve lost so much today. When the Boss arrives, my life will surely be forfeit! No! Even before the Boss himself acts, Sister Ying’Er, who manages this Gambling House, will probably take one of my hands first!
As this thought crossed his mind, he couldn’t help but shiver, and then sothing warm trickled down his trouser leg, soaking it.
The surrounding gamblers quickly covered their noses.
"Ugh... what’s that sll?"
The crowd looked towards the dealer in confusion, then burst into uproarious laughter.
"HAHAHA! He wet his pants! HAHAHA!"
"Li’s Gambling House is truly shaless!"
"If you can’t afford to lose, don’t open a Gambling House!"
"Getting scared like this by a re child!"
While the crowd roared with laughter, they all said Li’s Gambling House couldn’t take a loss and was unreliable. The main point of ridicule, however, was the dealer wetting his pants from fear, which made Li’s Gambling House lose an imnse amount of face.
Just as Zhu Xiuxiu quietly walked over to Ji Youzhi’s side, Sister Ying’Er, also covering her nose, approached Xiaosuisui. She shoved the trembling dealer aside and ordered her n.
"Soone drag him away and lock him up for now!"
Then, she turned to Xiaosuisui with a captivating smile and said, "Little child, how about I play sothing more exciting with you?"
Xiaosuisui widened her eyes, looked at Sister Ying’Er who was smiling like a blooming flower, and nodded.
"Okay, okay! You shake the dice, and I’ll guess!"
"Alright!" As soon as Sister Ying’Er said this, her expression changed. I clearly wasn’t thinking that, so why did I end up saying those words? This little girl is very strange. It seems I must be extrely careful!
With this thought, she took a deep breath to steady her nerves. With a wave of her hand, two burly n carried a chest over and placed it directly on the table.
"There are fifty thousand taels of silver in this chest. I’ll stake it all against you in one ga. We’ll decide victory or defeat in a single round. If you win, all the silver here is yours, including the fifty thousand taels in this chest. If you lose, you leave both your hands behind. How about it?"
A cold glint flashed in Sister Ying’Er’s eyes. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Li’s Gambling House, which I manage, must be taught a harsh lesson! The people of the Capital seem to have forgotten that Li’s Gambling House still has the fearso Sister Ying’Er!
Ji Youzhi and Dugu’s expressions turned stern at her words, a cold light glinting in their eyes.
Such vicious terms! Win, and you take everything; lose, and you leave your hands. Any ordinary gambler facing this would likely throw caution to the wind and take the bet.
"Suisui... Don’t agree to her terms!"
Ji Youzhi and Dugu warned in unison.
However, when Xiaosuisui saw the chest, her eyes lit up. She quickly turned to Ji Youzhi and asked,
"Seventh Uncle, is this the chest from Third Uncle and Second Uncle?"
Ji Youzhi gently shook his head. "It’s not."
Xiaosuisui was visibly disappointed, her head drooping as she muttered, "This isn’t the chest I wanted to bet on!"
Suddenly, an idea struck Ji Youzhi.
"We can bet with you, but not just with this one chest. We need another three chests as well!"
"Hmm? What do you an?"
Sister Ying’Er’s eyes narrowed, alarm bells ringing loudly in her mind.
