Chapter 13 Brother-in-law, I'm Counting On You

  • "What? Have we already lost so much?" Jinmutian's face turned extremely ugly.
  • "What about Ashan and Agui? Aren't they in charge?"
  • "Boss, they both lost, badly beaten." The man in the suit answered truthfully.
  • Jinmutian furrowed his brows tightly. "Sis, I need to handle something first, it won't take long."
  • "Do you need financial support? I have it here, sis!" Jinmulan asked with concern.
  • Jinmutian waved his hand. "Sis, I, Jinmutian, won't rely on women, even if you're my sister."
  • He said this, intentionally mocking Jiangnan.
  • Jiangnan didn't mind.
  • Jinmutian and the man in the suit hurriedly left.
  • "You and your brother have a deep emotional bond, it's really rare!" Jiangnan smiled and said to Jinmulan.
  • At the same time, he went to Jinmutian's boss seat, opened the drawer, and took out a cigar.
  • "What are you doing? Don't touch my brother's things!"
  • Jinmulan scolded.
  • Jiangnan ignored her and took out a tool from inside, cut off the cigar head, lit it, and took a deep puff.
  • He blew a smoke ring towards the ceiling.
  • "I'm not taking this thing for myself, it's for the sake of your brother."
  • "Don't pretend in front of me." Jinmulan's eyes were sharp.
  • She found it difficult to control the man in front of her, which made her uncomfortable.
  • "Your brother's nose is so red, he'll probably lose a lot of money for at least two or three days."
  • "By then, don't say that your brother will go bankrupt, I'm afraid your whole family will follow suit."
  • Jinmulan didn't believe it. She had confidence in her brother's abilities.
  • Losing a little money might be possible, but losing so much that the whole family would be ruined, she didn't believe it.
  • "Seeing is believing, let's go and see for ourselves." Jiangnan held the cigar and walked out of the office.
  • This Yunque Immortal Palace, the first to fifth floors are all for bathing, while the sixth floor is a casino.
  • Recently, there has been increased surveillance, and many avid gamblers dare not gamble at night for fear of being caught.
  • So they all chose to come in the morning.
  • The two of them walked into a gambling hall, where there were many people, but it was unusually quiet.
  • There was a gambling table larger than a pool table, with one person sitting at each end.
  • The money on both sides was piled higher than a person.
  • It looked truly impressive.
  • At this moment, Jinmuxie stood behind his subordinate, the top gambling expert, Agui.
  • Sweating profusely, he looked extremely nervous.
  • Jin Mulan walked over, and the subordinates of Jin Mutian respectfully called her "Miss".
  • Jiang Nan, holding a cigar, squeezed his way to Jin Mulan's side.
  • "Little brother-in-law, did you lose miserably? Do you need your brother-in-law's help?" Jiang Nan deliberately laughed with schadenfreude.
  • Jin Mutian's face turned cold.
  • "What kind of thing are you? Stop babbling here."
  • His brothers beside him heard Jiang Nan say that he was their boss's brother-in-law, and their eyes were filled with confusion.
  • Another scapegoat?
  • Jiang Nan took a puff of his cigar and blew it out, squinting at the expert gambler across from him.
  • Two seconds later, he smiled.
  • "Damn it, you stole my cigar," Jin Mutian became angry.
  • These cigars were very rare, and he had been saving them for a long time, only accumulating five.
  • "Little brother-in-law, don't say it so flamboyantly. I also have cigars."
  • "Listen to your brother-in-law's advice, don't play this hand. The other side has a straight flush, while you only have three Queens with a pair of Kings."
  • Hehe.
  • Jin Mutian couldn't help but sneer.
  • "You're already saying it's a straight flush after only two cards have been dealt? Can you predict the future?"
  • Jin Mulan also stood by the side, thinking that Jiang Nan was deliberately showing off.
  • At this moment, two cards were dealt on the other side, a 5 of spades and a 6 of spades.
  • On this side, Ah Gui was dealt a pair of Queens.
  • A showdown of a thousand hands, changing cards was the lowest level and the riskiest move.
  • If caught on the spot, the punishment could range from having both hands cut off to losing one's life.
  • Therefore, true high-level gamblers mainly relied on psychology and control of luck.
  • In these two aspects, Ah Gui and Ah Shan were being played by the opponent.
  • "Hey, you have a good hand, hurry up and speak," the opponent urged.
  • "Fifty thousand!" Ah Gui said.
  • At this moment, Ah Gui felt immense pressure.
  • He had already lost eighty million, and there were only twenty million in cash on the table.
  • A lackey beside him threw the money into the middle.
  • "I'll call!" the gambler casually threw fifty thousand in.
  • The third card was dealt, which was a hidden card that had to be bet on before the fourth card was dealt and revealed.
  • Ah Gui's third card was a King.
  • Two Queens and a King?
  • Jin Mu's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
  • How could it be three Queens and two Kings? If that was the case, it would be even better.
  • "Hey, buddy, speak up quickly, don't dawdle like a woman," the opponent provocatively urged.
  • Ah Gui's mentality began to become impatient.
  • "Sixty thousand!"
  • Ah Gui said.
  • The lackey threw sixty thousand in.
  • "Is that all? Are you scared of losing?" the opponent taunted madly.
  • "I have ten million, which is nine million four hundred thousand more than you."
  • The Thousand Hands threw money like throwing bricks, throwing it towards the center.
  • Agui's heart was pounding.
  • Next came the fourth card, which was face up, and on the opposite side was a black spade 9.
  • And Agui had a King.
  • "Quick, place your bets, place your bets!"
  • Agui was in a dilemma because this time the bet was ten million.
  • He looked back at Jinmutian.
  • Jinmutian nodded, indicating that he could place the bet.
  • "Ten million," Agui said.
  • The money on the table piled up like a small mountain.
  • Agui flipped over his third hidden card, revealing two pairs.
  • The opponent also revealed their hidden card, which was a black spade 8.
  • The opponent's hand was a black spade 5689.
  • "Could it be so coincidental?" Jinmutian was a little afraid.
  • He signaled to Ashan, who walked behind Thousand Hands.
  • This life-or-death situation would be determined by the final card, just to be safe.
  • Ashan stared intently at his opponent, ensuring he wouldn't cheat.
  • The fifth card was dealt.
  • Agui slowly picked it up and examined it. It was a Queen.
  • This card was already significant, but if the opponent had a black spade 7, it would be a devastating counterattack.
  • "What?"
  • Both Jinmulan siblings were astonished.
  • It was indeed three Queens with a pair of Kings.
  • Jinmulan, unfamiliar with gambling, found it simply magical.
  • But Jinmutian understood. He was so shocked that his cigar slipped from his mouth.
  • "Brother, can you please speak faster?" Thousand Hands on the opposite side urged impatiently.
  • "Every time you place a bet, it takes forever, is it really necessary?"
  • Agui's face flushed with humiliation.
  • They had come this far, there was no need to retreat.
  • "All in!"
  • He pushed all the remaining money forward.
  • "That's more like it, I'll follow."
  • Thousand Hands added another ten million to the pot.
  • Then he revealed his final card.
  • Black spade 7!
  • "I'm sorry, a straight flush!"
  • In the instant the card was revealed, Agui collapsed, his spirit shattered.
  • "Hahaha..."
  • Thousand Hands laughed arrogantly.
  • "Anyone else? Anyone else!"
  • "What a bunch of nonsense, Cloud Palace of Yunque, not a single person who can compete."
  • "Sorry, Mr. Jin, I've won another billion from you."
  • Thousand Hands collected stacks of money, his expression filled with joy.
  • In that moment, Jinmutian was both shocked and furious.
  • He looked at his "brother-in-law" in disbelief.
  • He was right! He predicted it!
  • The opponent truly had a straight flush.
  • How did he know? Could he really predict the future?
  • Jinmulan, rarely taken aback, covered her mouth in astonishment.
  • Her beautiful eyes trembled as she gazed at Jiangnan.
  • "How did you know about this round of cards?" she couldn't help but ask curiously.
  • "This is my secret, I can't tell you!" Jiang Nan said mysteriously.
  • In reality, he had deduced it using the principles of Feng Shui. He stared at the other person for a couple of seconds.
  • An image would appear above the person's head.
  • Just like the image that appeared above Mulan's head that day.
  • The image would reveal what was about to happen to the person being analyzed.
  • Jiang Nan initially believed this technique could only be used for fortune-telling, predicting good and bad luck. He didn't expect it could also be applied at the gambling table.
  • "Hey, Boss Jin, I haven't had enough fun yet, what should I do?"
  • Huang Shi Hu continued to provoke and incite.
  • His intention in coming this time was to bankrupt Jin Muxie and leave him heavily indebted.
  • He also estimated that Jin Muxie's cash was nearly depleted, but the club was still there, worth at least two billion.
  • "Don't worry, I, Jin Muxie, will play with you until the end, until you've had enough."
  • This was the principle of Jin Muxie's gambling establishment. As long as the gamblers were willing to bet, their club would always accompany them.
  • Rules were reputation, and they couldn't be tarnished. Once they were ruined, it would be difficult to make a comeback.
  • "Alright, alright, I'm just afraid that Boss Jin will back out. Hurry up and bring out the cash, let's continue."
  • "I don't have that much cash at the moment, but I can wager my property in the Cloud Palace Club. Are you in or not?"
  • "Of course I'm in, after all, the goal is your property."
  • Thinking this in his mind, Huang Shi Hu still pretended to hesitate on the surface.
  • "Okay then."
  • Jin Muxie instructed someone to bring the property certificate.
  • In front of everyone's gaze, he handed the property certificate to Jiang Nan.
  • "Brother-in-law, I'm counting on you!"
