Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Four

Lin Xiao, seeing this scene, was burning with rage and roared, "Do you dare to play another round with me, just the two of us? A duel!"

Lin Xiao was completely furious.

For someone so concerned with face, losing in front of classmates was undoubtedly a great humiliation.

Long Xiaoshan frowned and said, "There's no need."

Today was Hong Xiaofei's wedding, and he didn't want to create too much of a scene.

Two hundred thousand might be a lot for the average person, but for Lin Xiao, it should just be a small amount.

"What do you mean, no need? You want to leave after winning money, or are you scared, bumpkin? Never seen money in your life, huh? Are you happy winning two hundred thousand?" Lin Xiao said scornfully.

Long Xiaoshan's eyes narrowed into a blade's edge and he responded indifferently, "I'm afraid you can't afford to lose."

"There's nothing in Niu Y County I, Lin Xiao, can't afford. Come on, bumpkin, let's see what you've got," Lin Xiao laughed heartily.

"Enough, Lin Xiao, are you being reasonable? It's my wedding day and you're causing a scene," Xu Lu stood up and said.

"This is between him and me, Xu Lu, don't stick your nose in, or don't blame me for not giving face," Lin Xiao sneered, knowing he had significant influence in the county, with connections to both lawful and unlawful people through his bar.

"You're simply ungrateful!" Xu Lu shook her head, thinking to herself that she was trying to save Lin Xiao for the sake of their classmates.

She knew who Long Xiaoshan was. Many big shots in the county had to address him as Young Master Long. Could a bar owner like Lin Xiao really afford to provoke such a person?

But Lin Xiao, driven by youthful ardor, was stubbornly insistent and beyond anyone's advice.

"Alright, then bring it on, how big do you want to play?" Long Xiaoshan said calmly.

"Big talk, I have two million in this card, do you have enough money to take it?" Lin Xiao pulled out a Gold Card and arrogantly tossed it on the table.

Around them rose a chorus of gulps as everyone stared fixedly at the Gold Card, wishing they could rush up and snatch it away.

Several women's eyes shone with greed, marveling at how rich Lin Xiao was to have two million so casually in a card.

What they didn't know was that this was almost all of Lin Xiao's liquid funds. If he hadn't just recovered a sum of money, he wouldn't have had so much cash on his card. Although he was worth tens of millions, it was impossible to have that much in liquid funds. Every month, he had to repay bank loans, with money continually cycling back into his investments.

Long Xiaoshan took out his phone, made a call, and said, "Yes, please deposit two million into this card of mine."

Long Xiaoshan was holding the card he had just gambled with.

In less than a few minutes, Long Xiaoshan's phone rang, and he showed a bank text message to Lin Xiao, "Now I've got two million three hundred thousand in my card, bring it on."

Seeing the balance displayed in the text message.

Lin Xiao's eyes bulged; he hadn't expected this little farmer to actually come up with two million.

The surrounding crowd also looked at Long Xiaoshan with astonishment. Since when were farmers so wealthy? A single phone call and he had managed to get two million—even if it was borrowed, it was certainly remarkable.

"Damn it, turns out this kid has been playing possum," Lin Xiao thought with a chill in his heart.

Now, if he still considered Long Xiaoshan an ordinary farmer, he would be the fool, the utter imbecile.

But he had already thrown down the gauntlet, and besides, he could control the game of poker. If he got a bad hand, he simply wouldn't follow. Was he afraid of this farmer? Most likely the guy's money was borrowed, and once he'd won and left the kid bankrupt, he'd spend the rest of his life paying off debts.

A vicious light shone in Lin Xiao's eyes.

The betting began, and after the cards were dealt.

Lin Xiao looked at his hole cards cautiously.

Suddenly his pupils contracted, his heart pounding wildly as he actually dealt himself the highest hand, a triple Ace—the same hand that Long Xiaoshan had used to defeat his triple King in the previous round. What goes around comes around; the winds of fortune change direction every thirty years.

With triple Aces in hand, the biggest hand, he wondered what Long Xiaoshan could possibly play against him.

Inside, Lin Xiao was laughing maniacally, roaring with laughter, sneering with glee.

However, he managed to completely control his facial expression. As an experienced gambler, he had that much discipline, able to withhold even when facing a huge hand. He even managed to show a faint trace of worry, steadying himself, not wanting to scare his opponent into folding. Wakaka...

The two began to cyclically bet chips.

The stakes grew larger and larger, and soon broke past five hundred thousand.

Long Xiaoshan seemed to feel a bit unsteady too, and made a show of looking at his hole cards.

Then he revealed a trace of surprise, which he quickly concealed.

Seeing that fleeting trace of surprise on Long Xiaoshan's face, Lin Xiao nearly burst out laughing. Keep acting, I'll let you act, what kind of cards could you possibly have? Even if you really got a trio or a straight flush, could they be bigger than my three Aces?

The two continued to raise the stakes.

Quickly, the bets surged to one million.

The more Long Xiaoshan kept calling, the prouder Lin Xiao felt inside.

Raise, raise, keep raising.

Two million, three million...

Even the onlookers were on edge, a hundred times more tense than watching an American blockbuster.

This was a live million-dollar gambling game—no, not just one million, but four million.

All those watching could never earn that much money in a lifetime of work.

When the bet reached three million,

Lin Xiao threw out his Gold Card and said, "I'm all in. Are you following or not?"

Now, he could win at least a million more, and even if Long Xiaoshan folded, the money on the table would be his.

Long Xiaoshan slowly pushed his card forward and said, "I'll call."

Hearing Long Xiaoshan call, Lin Xiao could no longer maintain his disguise. His face broke into wild joy, contempt, pride, and arrogance. In essence, he was about to explode with excitement. He had just won two million.

Two million! Even for him, this was a hefty sum of money. With this money, he could play with so many long-legged, busty beauties, and he had been eyeing an upgrade to a Porsche from his Mercedes.

He violently flipped his three hole cards onto the table, laughing wildly, "Long Xiaoshan, I made you call, hahaha, look at my cards!"

Three Aces landed in the middle of the table.

Everyone gasped.

Oh my!

It was three Aces again!

Last round Long Xiaoshan had used three Aces to beat Lin Xiao's three Kings.

How fortunes turn! This round Lin Xiao had the three Aces.

Everyone looked at Long Xiaoshan with a mix of pity and sympathy, while they envied Lin Xiao beyond measure. Damn, making money was too easy for him; he was about to pocket two million.

Lin Xiao whistled and reached out to grab Long Xiaoshan's card, too impatient to wait for Long Xiaoshan to reveal his cards, since he was sure to lose anyway.

"Wait!" Suddenly a hand stopped him.

"What's the matter? Thinking of welching? Let me tell you, no one in Niu Y County has ever welched on a debt with Lin Xiao," he said with a cold face.

Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, "What's the rush? I haven't shown my cards yet."

"What, you still haven't given up? My three Aces are the highest, what could you have to beat me?" Lin Xiao sneered.

Long Xiaoshan shook his head with a smile and flipped his three cards over.

2, 3, 5.

The absolute smallest hand in poker, any junk hand would be bigger.

But... it just so happens to be the one hand that can beat a trio...
