Chapter 375: I Caught a Big Fish

"I'll call." Chen Xiaobei announced calmly.

It was the same like the previous round. He drew a card of a smaller value, while Qiu Hairui still kept the Ace of Spades.

Thus, he lost another round.

"I'll bet five million this round!" Qiu Hairui was emboldened. The members of the Black Gang were very excited as well and kept telling their boss to increase his wager.

"I'll call again! I'll follow your stake anytime since I've already won a crap ton of money from you!" Chen Xiaobei replied evenly and bet without hesitation - before losing again.

Qiu Hairui's wager was still increasing after ten more rounds. And yet he still managed to draw the Ace of Spades! On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei already lost two hundred million in ten minutes!

"What the hell is going on? Why does Chen Xiaobei keep losing?" Murong Xiaoyao asked nervously with a frown.

"This game is all about luck! Our Bro Bei will definitely get lucky again!" Fire Boss replied.

"It's totally understandable that Xiaobei is having bad luck, but Qiu Hairui's luck is really fishy - he keeps drawing the Ace of Spades every single round! That is not luck!" The Third Elder shook his head gravely.

"Are you saying that... Qiu Hairui is cheating?" Fire Boss said as it finally dawned upon him. He knew one thing about gambling: while most gamblers tend to lose all the time, those who always won were actually shameless cheaters!

"F*cking thick-faced fat f*ck! How dare he trick our Bro Bei! I'm going to beat him up!" Murong Xiaoyao rolled up her sleeves as she prepared to head over to Qiu Hairui and teach him a lesson.

"Xiaoyao! Wait!" Third Elder quickly stopped her from doing something stupid, while lowering his voice to add: "Xiaobei is not a man who marches into war without a good plan. I believe he knows that Qiu Hairui is conning him but look - he's still relaxed as ever. In other words, he has something in mind. You would ruin his plan if you give Qiu Hairui a beating!"

"Really? But I'm really frustrated to see Chen Xiaobei lose to that pudgy f*ck! Look at his cocky face! I can't wait to trample his flabby face!" Murong Xiaoyao snarled, although she managed to calm herself soon.

"Bahahaha! I've won again!" Qiu Hairui laughed arrogantly, extremely thrilled.

"Chen Xiaobei, say your last words!" He declared conceitedly. "You've now lost two hundred million! I will claim every dime in your bank account soon!"

"Sigh... Your luck is incredible!" Chen Xiaobei mourned. "I'm speechless! I'll just play three more rounds - win or lose; I will stop playing whatever happens!"

"What? Last three rounds?" Qiu Hairui seemed incapable of getting down from his high horse. "Fine, I'll just keep increasing my bets! I'll just have to make sure you lose everything within three rounds. I'm going all-in this round! Four hundred million! Don't be a wimp now!"

"Our boss is so damn cool! So impressive!"

"After this round, the four hundred million will turn into eight hundred million, and one point six billion next round. Chen Xiaobei will lose everything in the third round!"

"Boss! You're too smart! I guess we just have to sit here and wait for you to give us the money! Hahaha!".

The Black Gang cheered eagerly.

"I'll call!" Chen Xiaobei said, still perfectly tranquil.

The truth was that he wanted to laugh out loud because he had lost all those rounds on purpose. It was all a huge trick; like poker, one must never be fickle before the big one - especially when the big fish already took the bait!

"Bastard! You have guts! You're a real man and I respect that!" Qiu Hairui gave him a thumb up. "Nevertheless, I shall show you sympathy!" He then added viciously. "I want every dime from your bank account and you to suffer for the rest of your life! Bahahaha..."

"I can't say a thing. Guess I'll just have to keep watching you act like a cocky prick!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and entered money into the system once more.

The dealer used her fanciful shuffling before spreading the cards over the table once more, while Qiu Hairui repeated his trick to find the Ace of Spades.

That was when Chen Xiaobei inhaled deeply and blew a gust of wind at the dealer as Qiu Hairui touched a card.

The American woman blinked subconsciously, and Qiu Hairui bought the ploy. He quickly drew the card and pressed it down on the table with both of hands. It was Chen Xiaobei's turn after that, and he seized the opportunity to mess up the neatly arranged deck.

"Huh?"

The dealer was stunned; the cards were all jumbled up when she opened her eyes. She could not see through the cards, and therefore could not recall the sequence of the cards that she had arranged with her inhuman memory. Clueless as to which cards were drawn by Chen Xiaobei and Qiu Hairui, she became worried; Qiu Hairui had went all-in - she would not receive a single cent if her benefactor lost.

"I'll reveal my card first!" Chen Xiaobei shouted.

It was Two of Clubs!

"Bahahahaha!!!" Qiu Hairui laughed loudly. "You are such a comedian! Did you wash your hands after you took a dump? A Two of Clubs! You're so bloody unlucky! Bahahahaha..."

"Phew... Lucky..." The dealer was relieved. The two of Clubs was the card with second least value; it was next to impossible for Qiu Hairui to lose this round!

"Shit... Shit... How did Chen Hairui get so unlucky? The bet is four hundred million this round!" Murong Xiaoyao said nervously. Third Elder and Fire Boss shared her anxiety as well; Qiu Hairui could beat Chen Xiaobei with any other card, save for the Two of Diamonds!

"Haha... Chen Xiaobei's luck is really gone! He's on a streak, but the wrong kind! He's a godsent, here to give us money!"

"Two of Clubs! Even I can beat him easily!"

"This is incredible! Two more rounds and we can start counting the money in our hands! It's amazing! It's so exciting! It's so crazy!"

The Black Gang associates were getting even more hopeful. The ending that they desired is here!

"Bastard! Two more rounds and you will lose everything! I'm really curious... How do you feel right now?" Qiu Hairui mocked, incredibly self-assured.

"Now's too early to talk about the end! You should reveal your card first!" Chen Xiaobei replied placidly.

"Hmph! You still have guts to tell me to reveal my card?! I'll show you right now; it's still the Ace of Spades! Definitely better than yours!"

Qiu Hairui flipped his card and slammed it on the table; it stunned every single person who saw what it was.
