Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 124: 500 Million!

Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Jiang Tianquan sneered and urged, "Go on, open it. Let him lose all hope for good."

These croupiers of mine are all true professionals. How could a punk like Chen Xiao even begin to imagine the tricks we use in a real casino? Besides, even if he gets lucky and guesses correctly, we have hidden mechanisms we can use.

However, upon hearing Jiang Tianquan’s order, the croupier swallowed hard, sweat beading on his forehead. He didn’t move.

Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed, his gaze turning sharp. "What’s the matter? Afraid to open it? Or are you planning to pull some kind of trick? If that’s the case, then you’d better be prepared to return every single cent these guests have lost here tonight."

His words immediately captured the attention of the onlookers, who all turned their suspicious gazes toward Jiang Tianquan.

Jiang Tianquan’s heart seized. While it’s an open secret that casinos have their methods, I can’t just admit it, can I?

"Hurry up and open it!" Jiang Tianquan demanded coldly of the croupier.

Looking utterly devastated, the croupier slowly lifted the dice cup...

"Six... five... five... it’s really sixteen points!"

"Holy shit! He actually guessed right?"

"This guy... is his luck really that good?"

The room erupted in an uproar as everyone stared at Chen Xiao in disbelief.

Jiang Tianquan was dumbfounded. He shot a furious glare at the croupier, but the man could only offer a helpless look in return.

It’s not that I didn’t want to cheat, but I discovered the mechanism inside the dice cup was already broken... By the time I realized, it was too late!

"Sixty million!"

"That kid is one lucky bastard!"

Luo Qingli, Zhang Yaqing, and the other women were ecstatic, clenching their fists in excitement.

"Young Master Jiang, you should smile! Weren’t you so happy just a moment ago?" Zhang Yaqing giggled. "I much prefer to see you smiling."

A rare curve appeared on Luo Qingli’s usually cold and aloof face. "Miss Zhang, Young Master Jiang may have lost, but this is just pocket change. Why would a man like him care about such a small amount?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Yaqing nodded vigorously. "It was foolish of us to judge the heart of a rich man like Young Master Jiang by our own poor standards. He’s wealthy, so losing a little is nothing." She then added innocently, "By the way, how much was Chen Xiao supposed to win tonight? Oh, right, just five hundred million..."

"You don’t mind, do you, Young Master Jiang?"

The two women’s sarcastic back-and-forth made Jiang Tianquan’s fists clench. They were viciously rubbing salt in his wounds.

Xu Yanran crossed her arms. "It’s all right, Young Master Jiang. This is only sixty million. We still need to win another four hundred forty million to complete today’s mission. We have a long way to go..."

Forget Jiang Tianquan; even Watanabe Ichiba’s face was as foul as if he’d eaten shit. He also had a stake in this casino, and losing sixty million in one go was a painful blow. Of course, it wasn’t just about the money. The fact that Chen Xiao was the one who won it made it feel worse than if he had just tossed the cash into the sea.

He walked over to Jiang Tianquan and demanded in a low voice, "What happened? Is your croupier an idiot? How could he make such a rookie mistake?"

In casinos like theirs, the croupiers were incredibly skilled. Being able to identify the dice by sound was merely the basics; they also had to be able to manipulate the dice without a trace to maximize the house’s profit on every roll. How could something go wrong now, allowing Chen Xiao to hit a twenty-to-one payout?

Jiang Tianquan whispered back, "I don’t know what happened. Maybe it was just an oversight?"

The croupier subtly shot him a look, gesturing that the problem was with the dice cup. Only then did it dawn on Jiang Tianquan what had happened.

Chen Xiao spoke in a relaxed tone, "Young Master Jiang, sixty million. Time to pay up."

Though he was fuming inside, Jiang Tianquan suppressed his rage. "Go and get him the chips!" He couldn’t possibly refuse to pay in front of so many people; he’d lose all face.

Zhu Baixi watched the scene unfold from a distance, her red lips parting in a subtle, knowing smile. Having spent years in the Jiang Family, I’ve seen people from all walks of life. It’s clear to me that this wasn’t just luck. Chen Xiao is a true master of gambling. Moreover, his grasp of human nature is on another level entirely; he’s playing Jiang Tianquan and the others right in the palm of his hand. He started by acting weak, losing small amounts of money to create the illusion of being an amateur. In reality, he was observing the croupier’s cheating methods, successfully making them lower their guard before delivering a fatal blow at the most crucial moment.

They have no idea that dice are just child’s play for me. Back on the mountain, my three senior sisters and I played for much higher stakes. Whoever lost had to remove an article of clothing. Because of that, I spent a very long time studying these games. Listening to the dice is just a basic skill; my cheating methods are far more advanced than theirs. If I want to, I don’t even need to touch the dice to get the numbers I want. For example, I can use my Inner Strength to alter the outcome of the dice right through the table. Just now, I only used a little psychological warfare to make them let their guard down.

Chips worth sixty million were stacked like a small mountain in front of Chen Xiao. He pushed aside ten one-million-dollar chips.

Then, he turned to Luo Qingli. "Take these fifty million in chips and cash them out. Having the cash is safest, just in case certain people decide not to pay up later..."

Jiang Tianquan snorted. "It’s only fifty million! Do you really think I can’t afford it?"

Despite his words, he was indeed entertaining that very thought. I can’t let Chen Xiao walk away with a single penny. Perhaps... the plan needs to be moved up!

"Exchange their chips for cash!" Jiang Tianquan ground out through clenched teeth. He had just managed to swindle fifty million from Luo Qingli, only to have to spit it all back out again. The feeling was more unbearable than death.

Soon, the fifty million was transferred to their account. A smile bloomed on Luo Qingli’s face. Li Sufang, however, was still in a daze. Had Chen Xiao really won back the fifty million she had just lost, all in a single bet?

Chen Xiao toyed with the ten chips left in his hand. "Well, Young Master Jiang? Want to keep playing?"

"Play!" Jiang Tianquan gritted his teeth. "I’d like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve! That was just beginner’s luck. Let me tell you, your luck won’t last forever!"

"Then let’s see if the Goddess of Luck continues to favor me," Chen Xiao replied, still perfectly calm.

The croupier discreetly swapped the dice cup for a new one. Chen Xiao saw it all but pretended not to notice, a faint smile touching his lips.

CLACK-CLACK-CLACK... The dice spun rapidly inside the cup, emitting a crisp sound. The croupier’s expression was grave. After a full five or six seconds, he finally slammed the cup down onto the table.

The sound stopped abruptly.

"Please place your bets." Though he feigned composure, the croupier’s voice had an inexplicable tremor after the sixty-million-dollar mistake. Chen Xiao’s sharp, indifferent gaze made him feel as if he was being seen right through. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Chen Xiao pretended to think for a moment. Then, he decisively placed his entire ten million in chips on the area for a total of three. "Ten million, at fifty-to-one odds... that comes out to exactly five hundred million. Let’s go with that."

In other words, he could only win if all three dice showed a one. But the payout was fifty to one. If he won, he’d get five hundred million.

Everyone stared, their faces blank. Was this guy still trying to rely on dumb luck? The probability of rolling three ones was next to impossible.

Only Xu Yanran, standing closest to the table, felt her brow relax. Wait, was that a faint ripple of Inner Strength? I think I felt it coming from the table.

Seeing Chen Xiao’s bet, the croupier breathed an immense sigh of relief and shot a knowing look at Jiang Tianquan.

Jiang Tianquan immediately shouted, "Open it! Don’t give him a chance to change his mind!"
