Chapter 66: The Win

Chapter 66

Hearing the sound of Ye Jianxiong falling to the ground, Xiao Ning slowly opened her eyes and got up from Zhuang Sister's embrace.

She and Qin Zhao tacitly high-fived each other!

"Sister Qin, you're amazing! I knew you would definitely win!" Xiao Ning said happily.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "You're amazing too. It's because of your support that I was able to win so smoothly."

Everyone around was stunned by this dramatic reversal, not knowing how to react.

The noblewoman was the first to realize what she had missed. She let out a shriek and fainted directly to the ground!

Unlike the onlookers, she had truly felt compassion at one point and had come so close to investing in Qin Zhao, so her regret was exceptionally intense!

People around hurriedly went to help her up, and the crowd descended into chaos.

Xiao Ning asked, "Sister Qin, what's the deal with the 6 of Diamonds? Why was Ye Jianxiong so emotional when he saw it?"

Qin Zhao held up her left hand. "See what this is?"

Xiao Ning took a look but didn't notice anything unusual. "It's just a hand, what's special about it?"

Qin Zhao brought her left hand close to Xiao Ning's eyes. "Look closely."

Only then did Xiao Ning realize there was a strand of hair tied around her index finger and thumb.

She asked, "A strand of hair?"

Qin Zhao nodded. "Ye Jianxiong's sleight of hand has reached a supernatural level where even high-speed cameras can't capture his motions.

He can't even see the motions clearly himself, but I can see them clearly.

Before the last round, he was freely switching cards however he wanted, unbridled.

If that was all, I would have had no way to stop him, because although I could see clearly, I couldn't catch him.

It wasn't until the eleventh round when we had bet up to 4 billion that he first tried to switch my cards!

But I had already peeked at the hole cards, so he had to give up.

I knew he was worried about accidents, so he wanted to control both hands as a backup.

On the twelfth round, I set a trap, pretending not to look at the hole cards when in fact I had already seen that the upcard was the 7 of Plums at the instant the dealer was dealing.

Then, while we were showing off our acting skills to each other, I secretly tied a strand of hair around my hand.

As he was switching the 6 of Diamonds to me, I used the hair to flick the card into the folder."

Xiao Ning excitedly clapped so energetically it sounded like a whole crowd's applause!

"Sister Qin, you're so amazing!"

Xiao Ning's eyes had become starry.

Qin Zhao felt a little embarrassed and joked, "Don't you know how to say anything besides 'So amazing!' and 'So awesome!'?

Go home and review your elementary school language arts textbooks, your vocabulary is so limited!"

At the same time, she slipped the 6 of Diamonds into Xiao Ning's hand.

Qin Zhao said in a still gentle tone, "Speak. What are you plotting?"

Nan Yue clearly had no intention of answering. She turned her face, breaking free of Qin Zhao's grip.

The next instant, her chin was seized even more forcefully!

Qin Zhao lowered her head and fiercely bit Nan Yue's lips!

Nan Yue raised her hand to push against Qin Zhao's chest, trying unsuccessfully to push her away. After relaxing her force, she accepted the bloody kiss.

A few minutes later, after leaving Nan Yue's lips, Qin Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Nan Yue, don't think that just because you're the top in bed, you can dominate me in life!

Don't overestimate yourself.

I will punish you in my own way for every wrong thing you do. Be mentally prepared!"

Nan Yue's face was still red from that "top in bed" remark. When she raised her head again, she found that Qin Zhao had already left.

Xiao Ning and Qin Zhao were sitting side by side at the bar, having ordered two drinks.

Xiao Ning said, "Sister Qin, I'll have someone transfer the money you won tonight to your account, and the shares will be formally transferred to your name as soon as possible."

Qin Zhao took a sip of lemon tea and said, "Don't forget you get a share too."

Xiao Ning declined, "No need. I said I don't lack money.

What's more, Sister Qin helped me avenge my father, I don't even know how to thank you yet. Just consider that money a small token of appreciation."

Qin Zhao didn't argue further and went along with Xiao Ning's wishes.

Catching sight of a familiar figure, she said, "Xiao Ning, I have to go now. Leave the rest to you!"

Without waiting for Xiao Ning's reply, she swiftly walked away!

The man seemed to sense something wrong and also quickened his pace.

Qin Zhao outright switched to running, and the two engaged in a chase!

Outside train car #8, Qin Zhao finally caught up and shouted, "Zhao Zhongyi, stop right there!"

...

Escorted by two female bodyguards, Nan Yue walked out of Ghost God Casino and encountered Xu Yiyang who had been waiting outside.

Nan Yue walked up to Xu Yiyang and said, "Let's talk."

Xu Yiyang was agreeable and nodded.

The two found a nearby cafe.

Nan Yue got right to the point: "I won tonight's poker game. My condition for you is to cancel the wedding, but I will still honor my commitment and vote for you on the board."

Xu Yiyang let out a mocking laugh. "Nan Yue, do you know that people can go back on their word? To be honest, the fat on my belly comes from breaking promises!"

Seeing Nan Yue's icy expression, Xu Yiyang went on, "But don't worry, I'm not a complete scoundrel. I will get you more votes beyond the one I promised, my dad has connections in the business community that can help you reach the top position!"

Nan Yue knew there was no point in talking further with this kind of person. She got up and left.

Xu Yiyang watched her retreating back, a smug smile on his face!
