Chapter 52: Wait at Your Original Spot!
Brother Wei’s nonchalant face morphed into a serious one in an instant. He glanced at his subordinates who were still lying on the ground, struggling to get up.
He raised his head to look at the girl who had tilted her head at him.
She had one hand in her pocket and was looking towards him.
With her eyes directed at him, it somehow released an icy glint of light.
She was in her Yi Zhong High School uniform, with her usually unzipped school jacket that exposed her white school blouse.
The manager she threw on the ground was still lying at her feet and struggling to get up.
“Making a bet with me?” Brother Wei tightened his grip on the gun in his hands and sat up straight. He glanced at Su Huiqing from time to time, and he said, “In this whole casino, not just anyone can gamble with me.”
The moment Brother Wei finished his words, the two men beside him swiftly whisked out their guns.
Everything happened in a flash.
When Gu Li and the others finally reacted, two gunshots reverberated in the air!
Su Huiqing raised her hand and threw her school bag to the faces of the two men in black!
‘Bang!’
No one knew how fast she was as they only saw her rushing towards the gambling table. She did a front hand flip before standing in front of Brother Wei.
At that moment, the two men dressed in black, who had their faces hit with a school bag, snapped back to their senses. They immediately pointed their guns at Su Huiqing.
At the same time, a group of bodyguards rushed into the room.
“Brother Wei!”
The bodyguards rushed in loudly, but Su Huiqing did not look towards where they were and just waited for everyone to snap out of their trance.
One could only see her leaning towards Brother Wei with a gun in her hands and another hand against the table.
Her hair flowed down her shoulders and had her eyes lowered. She looked beautiful.
The gun with a black muzzle that Brother Wei had earlier on was already in her possession. She even pointed it against the man’s forehead.
She slowly raised her head and glanced at her surroundings; her black pupils and white eyeballs contrasted. In the silent room, one could only hear her voice loud and clear. “So, can I gamble with you now?”
It was clear and firm.
Brother Wei looked at Gu Yihai, who hid at a side with an indiscernible expression. “Gu Yihai, I never thought you had someone so powerful to back you up.”

Seeing that nobody dared to go near him, Gu Yihai immediately hid behind Gu Li in fear.
“What are we betting?” Brother Wei turned his attention towards Su Huiqing.
‘Screech—’
Su Huiqing pulled a chair out and placed one hand on the table as she sat down. Qu Yan and Yu Xiangyang stood by her sides while Gu Li picked up her school bag and placed it right next to her.
He then stood behind Su Huiqing just like the two others.
“I will place my bet on the biggest bet here in the casino,” Su Huiqing indifferently said, and she calmly leaned against the chair.
“The biggest?” The croupier stared at Su Huiqing and the others who wore Green City High School uniforms in shock. “The lowest bet is ten million. Can you afford it?”
Su Huiqing said nothing. She merely took out a black card from her pocket and threw it on the table.
She reached out and leaned forward as she stared at the croupier with a cold gaze. “Give out the cards.”
The lowest spending limit for a black card was at least over ten million, thus no one dared to speak anymore.
A person swiftly bought out a bunch of casino chips for Su Huiqing.
They played Big Two. Each person had a set of cards that they should not show to others.
The croupier shuffled the cards before he dealt the cards one by one.
“One million, are you following?” Brother Wei’s second card was a black ace of spades.
Su Huiqing’s second card was a red jack of hearts. She took a few bargaining chips and threw it out. She then placed her hand on the backrest and calmly stared at Brother Wei with a cold glint in her eyes. She only said one word. “Follow.”
Qu Yan and the others did not understand and could only see Gu Yihai’s face darkening with each card being dealt out.
It was the last card.
Su Huiqing had the red king of hearts while Brother Wei had red nine of hearts.
“Twenty million and Gu Li’s hands. Are you following?” Brother Wei stared at Su Huiqing and smiled.
Su Huiqing placed one hand on the table while her other hand pushed all her bargaining chips to the front. She looked up and said, “Sure.”
“No!” Gu Yihai had a change in expression as he exclaimed in shock.
“What is wrong?” Qu Yan and the others looked at Gu Yihai. He was the only one who knew gambling tricks among them.

Gu Yihai pulled Gu Li’s arm, and he explained, “Your friend has a ten, jack, queen, and a king while Brother Wei has three Aces in his hand and a red nine of hearts. With the cards that they just dealt, Brother Wei’s full house of red has already won over your friend. To win, your friend can only take out a red ace of hearts. However, this casino belongs to Brother Wei and the last red ace of hearts is definitely in his hands. His cards will definitely be the bomb! After this, take your friend and leave immediately. Uncle let you down…”
“I’m not leaving.” Gu Li raised his hand and swatted Gu Yihai’s hand away. His handsome face looked firm in his decision.
How could he leave at such a moment!
“Uncle Gu, why do you think Qingqing will lose?” Qu Yan tilted her head to look at Gu Yihai.
Gu Yihai’s entire body became restless like a deflated balloon. “The red ace of hearts is in Brother Wei’s hands. Unless she has an ace card, she will lose no matter what she takes out. But to take the red ace of hearts from Brother Wei… Do you know who Brother Wei is?”
“Who is he?” Yu Xiangyang returned a question.
“He is the gambling king of this underground casino. I have never seen him lose before!” Gu Yihai shook his head and sighed. “Any card he wants will belong to him. How daring is your friend to gamble with Brother Wei…”
“Take Gu Li away and cut off his hands.” Once he heard Gu Yihai’s words, Brother Wei blew out a puff of smoke and threw out his card. With a smile, he mocked, “Miss, you can’t win against me.”
The two men dressed in black immediately walked to Gu Li’s side and reached out when they heard his command.
“Wait.” Leaning on the backrest, Su Huiqing tapped the table and suddenly…
She flipped that card over!
It was a red ace of hearts!
It was the red ace of hearts that everyone thought was in Brother Wei’s hands!
Su Huiqing looked up and curled her lips up. “Ace. Brother Wei, you lost.”
‘Bang!’
Gu Yihai fell to the ground and stared at that red ace of hearts. He looked at Su Huiqing in disbelief. “A… ace! How could that be?!”
The smile on Brother Wei’s face slowly disappeared as he flipped open his last card.
Black king of clovers.
“I really underestimated you.” Brother Wei squinted his black eyes and anger rose in his body.
Su Huiqing stood up and carried her school bag. She tilted her head and casually threw the red ace of hearts. “Brother Wei, admit defeat.”
With that, she took out her last piece of chewing gum and popped it into her mouth.
“Wait a minute.” Brother Wei stood up. “I don’t know who you are, but I can tell you it is the people from the capital who wants Gu Li’s hands. Even if you escape now, you will face trouble later.”
Su Huiqing did not pause her footsteps and merely waved her hand. “Thanks.”
After the group of people left, the croupier beside Brother Wei was confused. “Brother Wei, are we just going to let them off?”
Brother Wei put out his cigarette and pointed. “Look there.”
The croupier’s gaze turned towards where Brother Wei pointed at and his pupils constricted!
The red ace of hearts that Su Huiqing threw was wedged on the wooden table!
It was deeply wedged into the wood!
“Check who that friend of Gu Li is.” Brother Wei squinted his eyes.

At the same time.
In the casino’s restroom, Chi Yue wore a pair of glasses and then set up his laptop. He also wore a black earpiece and held a mini keyboard. As he watched the scene where the girl threw the card, his eyes lit up. “Cool!”
But he quickly paused the video when a series of numbers appeared on the screen.
“Mr. Chi Yue, how is it?” Chu Xuning muttered as he held a gun in his hands and guarded the entrance.
The white ribbon continuously swayed as he continuously cut to a new screen. His face darkened as he said, “The other party is a professional hacker. I don’t know when such a proficient hacker appeared.”
“Young Master Yu.” He paused the scene at a street. His deep blue eyes darkened, and he had worn his earphones before lowering his head. “That group of people is heading out in two batches. One proceeding to the professor’s laboratory and another… proceeding towards Miss Su.”
On the phone, Yu Shijin tightened his grip.
He stood up and took his coat, which he had left aside. The light enveloped him and it made him look a little lonely and cold. He lowered his deep black eyes as he said word by word, “Wait at your original spot.”
