Mr. Long's sudden appearance made Gu Heng immediately assertive: "Mr. Long, she's deliberately looking for trouble and disrupting the place! You should deal with her!"
This little brat beat him so hard just now, he absolutely had to teach her a lesson!
"Mr. Long, I came here just to handle some personal matters, but my 'little brother' here is really disappointing." Gu Ningyue pointed at Gu Heng, who was lying on the ground baring his teeth in pain: "If Mr. Long wants compensation, just ask him for it."
Mr. Long fiddled with the string of beads in his hand, glanced at the room that was smashed to pieces, and slowly extended three fingers: "Three million, and I'll let Miss Gu leave."
Gu Heng had lost a lot of money at the casino and couldn't even pay the membership fee here.
He was fretting about how to get this kid to repay the debt, but didn't expect Gu Ningyue, this fat sheep, to deliver herself.
"Three million?" Shen Hanyin exclaimed: "It's not worth even a few tens of thousands!"
Mr. Long didn't speak, his eyes were only fixed on Gu Ningyue, like a wolf hunting its prey, quietly waiting for her response.
Gu Ningyue glanced at the spendthrifts who were injured and knew what the three million was for.
She had money. But being taken advantage of, NO WAY!
"I've heard... Mr. Long is exceptional at gambling." Gu Ningyue raised her brow, a sly glint flashing in her starry eyes: "How about we have a gamble?"
Everyone in H City knew about Mr. Long's gambling skills. Wasn't Gu Ningyue, this girl raised in the inner quarters, just asking for trouble?
Shen Hanyin whispered, "Ning Yue, let it go..."
Gu Ningyue seemed not to hear, she just smiled at Mr. Long.
Mr. Long looked up and down at this once crazy girl, without the pressure from Ye Mingchen and others, she shone like a pearl wiped clean of dust.
"What's Miss Gu willing to gamble with?" Mr. Long asked leisurely: "You can't gamble with me without anything to bet."
The implication was clear, you can't get something for nothing with him.
Gu Ningyue's beautiful fingers pulled out the card Ling Tianyou had given her from her wallet, "Here's ten million, how about it? Is it enough to bet with Mr. Long?"
"Good! You all, go open the VIP room on the fifth floor!"
The room at the corner of the fifth floor was much more lavishly decorated than downstairs, obviously for the big clients.
Gu Heng and the others seemed like they wanted to laugh at Gu Ningyue, so they followed along.
Mr. Long didn't mind, he had someone close the door, turning to ask Gu Ningyue: "What does Miss Gu want to play?"
Gu Ningyue's slender finger pointed, "Dice! Let's play big or small, simple."
Mr. Long laughed heartily, "Okay! Let's play dice."
Simple as it might be, as long as you had some skill, it was the easiest way to manipulate.
The table was set, the two dice cups were placed in their hands.
Mr. Long was nearly forty years old, the calluses on his hands were thick.
The dice cup in his hand spun like a drill, mesmerizing until it landed on the table.
Shen Hanyin watched in shock: "Ning Yue, do you know what you're doing?"
"What's there to know, it's all about luck!" Gu Ningyue shook the dice cup up and down haphazardly and slammed it onto the table.
Gu Heng snickered when he saw her like this.
With Mr. Long's skill, anyone would see that there was some trickery, Gu Ningyue couldn't possibly win.
"Open!" With the croupier's declaration, both dice cups opened simultaneously.
As expected, thirteen to six, Mr. Long won.
Gu Ningyue didn't panic, "Again!"
At fifty thousand per round, this was just the beginning.
"Twelve to four, house wins."
"Eleven to seven, house wins."
"Fourteen to three, house wins."
...
After ten rounds, Gu Ningyue only won two times.
Shen Hanyin could not help but advise: "Ning Yue, enough."
At this rate, she would soon lose all ten million.
Gu Ningyue shook the dice cup, glanced up at Mr. Long: "Even if I wanted to leave now, I'm afraid I can't."
Mr. Long was a gambling addict. Having started this, he wouldn't let her go until she lost all her money.
"Open~" The croupier saw the dice cups land again: "Twelve to three, house wins!"
A burst of laughter erupted around them, with Gu Heng's being the most grating: "Hahaha... A loser is a loser! Serves you right!"
"Mr. Long indeed is formidable." Gu Ningyue looked somewhat conflicted, "Shall we raise the stakes?"
Mr. Long looked at the points on the table and asked: "Miss Gu wants to increase the bet? That's naturally fine."
"Ten million, just one bet!" Gu Ningyue muttered: "But these three dice are too few! The dice cup is so big, why not add two more dice!"
Gu Heng spat to the side, "Add a hundred more dice and you'll still lose!"
Did Gu Ningyue think that adding a few more dice would increase her chances of winning?
Shen Hanyin grabbed Gu Ningyue's arm: "Ning Yue, you've gone mad! Stop playing!"
If she had known, she should have dragged her away when she said she wanted to gamble, even if it meant paying those three million herself!
"Relax!" Gu Ningyue smiled: "Things improve when they reach their worst, and besides, I did win two rounds against Mr. Long just now! Mr. Long, how about it? Are we good to go?"
By this time, Mr. Long had already figured out that Gu Ningyue was a naive girl. Why refuse when someone offered money?
"Good! You all, go get a few more dice! But Miss Gu's card only has six million, where should I get the remaining four million?"
Gu Ningyue shrugged: "If there's no money, there's life, I'm willing to cut off one finger, how about that?"
"Ning Yue, do you know what you're saying? They... they'll do anything." Shen Hanyin was anxious: "Mr. Long, she's not in her right mind, don't listen to her! I'll pay for the amount downstairs, let's end it here today!"
As she spoke, Shen Hanyin pulled out a card from her bag.
Mr. Long didn't even take it, he lightly said one word from his lips: "—Good!"
He hadn't seen blood in a long time, and this girl just happened to cross his path.
His hands flew, when the dice cup landed on the table, even Shen Hanyin held her breath: "Twenty-nine....."
Five dice, four sixes, one five.
Never mind Gu Ningyue, even seasoned gamblers might not achieve this.
Gu Ningyue slightly furrowed her brows, ten fingers picking up the dice cup. As it shook up and down, the speed was so fast it almost left afterimages, "Clap!"
Mr. Long's expression slowly hardened, "Miss Gu, being too forceful isn't a good thing!"
"Who knows!" Gu Ningyue's hand pressed on the dice cup, her voice devoid of emotion: "It's just a desperate attempt!"
"Open—"
When Gu Ningyue's hand revealed the answer, the whole room resounded with exclamations:
"Thirty! Oh my god! I'm blind!"
"Oh my god! Did I just see a ghost!"
"Impossible!"
