Chapter 57:
The staff member was startled when he heard Yang Sanpao’s words and immediately panicked. “Boss, I didn’t! I swear I wasn’t working with him!”
Yang Sanpao stared at him coldly. “Then let me ask you something. Did your remote control ever leave your body?”
The staff member shook his head firmly. “No. I know how important it is, I always keep it on me.”
Yang Sanpao sneered. “Then that settles it. If the remote never left your body, how did the machine suddenly switch to easy mode after that kid’s fourth round? Who changed it?”
The staff member was dumbfounded. “C-could it have been a system glitch? Boss, I swear I didn’t adjust it to easy mode!”
Just then, another subordinate walked over and handed a one-thousand-yuan chip to Yang Sanpao. “Boss, this is the tip that customer gave him.”
Yang Sanpao took the chip, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes. “Still dare to say you weren’t in on it? Is this your secret signal? I think you and that kid planned this together to scam the casino!”
The staff member turned pale with fear and immediately fell to his knees with a loud thud. “Boss, I swear on my life, I’ve always been loyal to you! I would never betray you! If I’m lying, I won’t die a good death!”
Yang Sanpao scoffed. “I don’t believe in oaths. I only believe in what I see and hear.”
With that, he waved to two of his men. “Take him away. Make him talk. I don’t believe he won’t confess.”
“Yes!”
The two subordinates immediately grabbed the staff member and dragged him out.
“Boss, I swear I’m innocent! Boss—!”
His desperate cries faded as he was taken away, where brutal interrogation awaited him.
Yang Sanpao tossed the chip in the air, caught it, and smirked. “They really thought they could fool me with such petty tricks? Ridiculous.”
A flurry of flattering voices followed. “Boss, your sharp eyes catch everything. Nothing escapes your notice!”
Yang Sanpao glanced back at the surveillance feed of Lin Chuan. “Send more hidden guards. Keep an eye on that kid. The moment he tries to cheat, don’t waste words—cut off his hand.”
“Yes!”
…
Lin Chuan had no idea the casino was already watching him.
But he wasn’t surprised.
Winning a million was bound to attract attention.
Still, he had absolute confidence in his skills.
When he tricked the staff earlier, he had made sure to act in a surveillance blind spot.
Even if they replayed the footage a hundred times, they wouldn’t find anything.
He wasn’t here to play fair—he was here to crush this casino and make a fortune in the process.
After scouting around, he decided on a simple, fast, and high-stakes game: Big or Small.
The rules were straightforward.
The dealer shakes three dice in a cup. Players bet on whether the total will be “Small” (4-10) or “Big” (11-17).
For most gamblers, this game was pure luck.
But for Lin Chuan, who had mastered cheating techniques, every gambling game could be manipulated.
He led Ning Wenrou to a Big or Small table but didn’t place a bet right away. Instead, he watched for a while.
After observing carefully, he confirmed that the dealer wasn’t cheating.
At the same time, Chen Yu had gone to the counter and exchanged another hundred thousand in chips before joining them at the table.
Lin Chuan glanced at her with disdain. “You must be one of those noobs who love gambling despite being terrible at it. Casinos love customers like you.”
Chen Yu rolled her eyes. “Don’t think you can lecture me just because you got lucky and won a million. I have way more gambling experience than you.”
“Luck? If you’re so good, why don’t you win a million?” Lin Chuan smirked, taking a large tray of chips from Ning Wenrou. His confidence came from results, not words.
“Tch, so arrogant.” Chen Yu grumbled bitterly.
Just then, several gamblers lost all their chips and left the table, pounding their fists in frustration.
Lin Chuan and Chen Yu took their seats.
A voice across the table suddenly sneered. “Well, well, which rich young master is this? Bringing two beauties to a gambling table—do you think this is some kind of VIP lounge? Hahaha…”
The man speaking looked to be in his forties. He had beady, rat-like eyes that gleamed with a cunning light.
Others at the table laughed along with him.
To them, Lin Chuan looked like an idiot heir with too much money, here to donate to the casino.
“Jealous?” Lin Chuan wrapped one arm around Ning Wenrou and the other around Chen Yu. “Too bad. If you want to be surrounded by beautiful women, you need money and looks.
“But you? With that rodent-like face, what woman would ever go for you?”
At first, no one had noticed the man’s appearance.
But after Lin Chuan’s comment, everyone took a closer look.
Pointy nose. Beady eyes. Thin mustache.
The more they looked, the more he resembled a giant rat.
“Pfft—!”
Ning Wenrou tried to hold back, but she couldn’t.
Once she accepted the mental image, the more she looked at him, the more he really did look like a rat.
“Hahahaha!”
Laughter erupted at the table.
Some people slammed the table, stomped their feet, and nearly choked from laughing.
The “Rat Man” turned furious, his beady eyes flashing coldly.
BANG!
He slammed the table and stood up. “You brat! You looking for a beating?!”
His sudden outburst silenced the laughter.
Chen Yu and Ning Wenrou immediately stepped forward.
If he dared to start trouble, they wouldn’t hesitate to shut him down.
Chen Yu might not be a martial artist, but her older brother Chen Fei had been trained since childhood. She had picked up enough moves to handle a few men in a fight.
As for Ning Wenrou, her Beginner Combat Mastery from the system made her even more dangerous.
She had tested it last night and accidentally kicked a bed leg clean off.
She hadn’t dared tell Lin Chuan, afraid he’d dock her pay.
Lin Chuan calmly pressed his hands on the shoulders of his two beauties, signaling them to stay put.
Then, he looked at the “Rat Man” with a mocking smile.
“Oh? So you can dish it out, but you can’t take it? A grown man, getting all worked up over a joke?”
The man clenched his fists but hesitated.
“Who’s scared? I just don’t think you can handle losing. You’re flaunting a million like it’s a big deal. Look at my chips.
“I made two million in just two hours.”
Everyone’s eyes darted to his towering pile of chips.
Two million in two hours?
This guy was a pro!
