198: Chapter 198: The Arrogant Qi 198: Chapter 198: The Arrogant Qi Xiao Yifei’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he witnessed the scene before him.
He clearly rembered the card dealt to Fu Kaiyuan by Li Chao was a six, but how did it suddenly change to a king?
And just enough to beat him by a little.
“Alright!
Since you bet one hundred thousand yuan in the first round, I’ll take your money now!”
With a sinister smile, Fu Kaiyuan triumphantly took the one hundred thousand yuan in chips from in front of Xiao Yifei.
He sneered, “I wonder if you’re ready.
Once your money is gone, your eyes are next!”
Sun Li watched as Fu Kaiyuan took one hundred thousand yuan from in front of him, and fell into brief contemplation.
Then Xiao Yifei lifted his head, his eyes thoughtful, as he turned to look at Li Chao, who stood in front of the gambling table with an innocent face and a smile.
A light smile appeared on Xiao Yifei’s lips.
“So it’s you who’s been playing tricks!”
Xiao Yifei said, shaking his head with a smile.
Li Chao, facing Xiao Yifei with an expression as if nothing had happened, spread out his hands and said with a smile, “Sir, you lost the first round.
Shall we proceed to the next?
I would still advise both of you to carefully consider participating in private gambling—it’s a bloody affair.”
Li Chao acted as if he was completely unaware of what had happened, even advising Xiao Yifei and Fu Kaiyuan.
“Enough talk, let’s continue.”
Xiao Yifei’s eyes narrowed as he urged Li Chao, who said nothing and began to shuffle a new deck of cards, in the interest of fair play.
“Xiao…Xiao Yifei, I think there’s sothing fishy going on here, definitely so trickery.
Be careful and don’t act rashly.”
Scorpion called Xiao Yifei by his full na for the first ti, which was unusual for her, but she sensed sothing was amiss and warned him.
“I know, it’s fine, I have a plan.”
Xiao Yifei, looking at Scorpion, slightly bending over inadvertently revealing a flash of fair skin, said with confidence and a relaxed smile.
Seeing Xiao Yifei’s reaction, Scorpion was puzzled but said nothing more.
“What’s the matter?
What are you whispering about over there?
Scared?
Discussing ways to run away?
Let tell you!
It’s too late!
Just wait for to pluck your eyes out today!”
Fu Kaiyuan looked at Xiao Yifei with a cold gaze, his tone filled with chilliness.
“Cut the crap, we’re not done betting yet!
Deal the cards!”
Xiao Yifei glanced at Fu Kaiyuan and casually spoke.
Fu Kaiyuan looked at Xiao Yifei, let out a cold chuckle, his face full of eeriness.
And this ti, Xiao Yifei finally spotted where Li Chao was tampering.
Like the previous round, Xiao Yifei and Fu Kaiyuan both asked for quite a few cards, but when Fu Kaiyuan asked for the last card, Xiao Yi’s penetrating eyes saw that what was originally a five, Li Chao shook slightly, and slid out a two from under his sleeve to replace the five.
Watching Fu Kaiyuan’s face beaming with pride, Xiao Yifei gently shook his head.
Just as Li Chao was about to deal the swapped card to Fu Kaiyuan, Xiao Yifei suddenly deployed his ntal line.
Li Chao, who had been quite pleased with his own high-end cheating techniques, suddenly felt a sharp pain at his wrist that was unbearable.
His brows furrowed, and the card intended for Fu Kaiyuan flew out of his hand, along with another card that had been hidden up his sleeve.
The two cards that flew out of Li Chao’s hands abruptly made the scene awkward for a mont.
“You’re cheating?
Are you in cahoots with this guy nad Fu?”
Seeing this, Scorpion suddenly stood up straight, and said to Li Chao with a cold voice.
At this mont, Li Chao’s face was full of embarrassnt.
He held his wrist, which was still throbbing with pain, and the sudden turn of events made him panic inside.
He didn’t know how to start explaining.
Just then, Fu Kaiyuan, too, was taken aback by Li Chao’s slip.
But in an instant, he thought of sothing to help Li Chao get off the hook.
Looking at Scorpion with displeasure, he shouted, “Hey hey hey, what are you doing?
Just because you’re pretty, you can slander people?
Which eye of yours saw us colluding?
You can accuse him, but leave out of it, okay?
Where’s the evidence?
Where’s the evidence that we’re in collusion to cheat?”
Fu Kaiyuan glared at Scorpion.
“Why are you making such a fuss?
I beat Xiao Yifei; do I need to cheat?
Can’t you see that Xiao Yifei’s such a loser, I need to cheat?
Didn’t you see that it’s because the croupier’s hand hurt, and he couldn’t hold the cards properly, making them fly out?”
After speaking, Fu Kaiyuan leaned back in the chair behind him, assuming a superior posture.
Fu Kaiyuan’s shaless deanor, akin to a dead pig not fearing boiling water, really pissed off Scorpion.
She bowed her head, about to speak to Xiao Yifei, but then noticed Xiao Yifei waving at her with a faint smile.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.
Since it slipped out of hand, I can’t bla you.
This round doesn’t count.
Let’s start over.”
Xiao Yifei’s face showed an indifferent expression, and then he said to Li Chao.
“Hurry up and continue!
Deal the cards!”
Scorpion’s face revealed a look of disbelief at Xiao Yifei’s reaction.
Perhaps she was puzzled as to why Xiao Yifei was being so naive—wasn’t it clear that he was being bullied and yet he didn’t know it?
But seeing Xiao Yifei’s unconcerned appearance, Scorpion sighed silently, prepared to help Xiao Yifei sort out the aftermath.
anwhile, Fu Kaiyuan watched Xiao Yifei coldly and a mocking smile crept over his face as he sneered, “Idiot!”
Xiao Yifei seed not to have heard Fu Kaiyuan’s insult.
He casually gestured to Li Chao to deal the cards.
Li Chao was feeling a bit uneasy inside.
He felt that Xiao Yifei wasn’t as simple as he appeared, and the sudden intense pain earlier wasn’t without reason.
Why did it co just at the mont he was dealing the cards, he wondered, filling his mind with worry.
He looked at Xiao Yifei, who was filled with a casual confidence, gritted his teeth, and continued to deal the cards.
Just like last ti, when it ca to the last card, Li Chao rembered how he and Fu Kaiyuan used to cheat others out of their money with tricks just like the one that had just failed.
Recalling the look Fu Kaiyuan had given him, he sighed internally.
He couldn’t understand: when allied with Fu Kaiyuan, they would con people out of at least a million Yuan.
Why was Fu Kaiyuan going after Xiao Yi, who only had five hundred thousand Yuan on him and with such a vicious stake?
Li Chao shook his head.
As he prepared to tamper with the last card intended for Fu Kaiyuan, just then, before he could switch the card, a severe pain again shot through his hand.
The pain was so intense that he simply couldn’t switch the cards, as the ongoing pain made it impossible for him to execute such a precise and tight movent.
Li Chao frowned and glanced at Xiao Yifei, then looked at Fu Kaiyuan with so concern.
Unable to switch the cards, he could only hope that Fu Kaiyuan would fend for himself.
But when he saw six or seven n that he had arranged standing at the door, his anxious heart slowly cald down.
“Keep dealing to !”
