Inside the casino, the atmosphere was rather somber, with everyone's attention focused on the two people sitting at the gambling table.

Zhang Haicheng's previous disheveled appearance was gone. Instead, he crossed his legs arrogantly and looked at Qin Ziling with confidence, saying, "Let's play something simple. We'll compare points. Each person will draw a card, and the one with the lowest points will be the winner."

"If I lose, not only will you be my dog, but that woman will be mine too!"

"If you win, you can leave, and all your debts will be wiped clean!"

Qin Ziling's expression remained unchanged as he raised an eyebrow: "Where's the IOU? What if you back out after I win?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Haicheng sneered: "You're really wary! But no matter how much you struggle, you can't possibly beat me. Fine, since that's the case, I'll give you a little more hope."

As he spoke, he beckoned to his subordinate, who soon came over with a piece of paper and respectfully handed it to Zhang Haicheng.

The latter waved the IOU: "Here's the IOU. Can we begin?"

Qin Ziling finally smiled and said, "Then let's begin."

"As the landlord, I'll shuffle the cards. You don't mind, do you?" Zhang Haicheng said casually. Although he was asking for Qin Ziling's opinion, he had already picked up a deck of cards and started shuffling.

Qin Ziling didn't speak, but calmly looked at him, or rather, at the cards in his hand.

"Hiss! Is Young Master Zhang actually going to take action personally? Who is that kid? How can he dare to gamble against Young Master Zhang?"

"Young Master Zhang was once famous throughout the country for his gambling skills. His hand speed and eyesight were top-notch in the gambling world, earning him the nickname 'Ghost Hand.' For ordinary people to gamble against him would be suicide."

"Heh, this is practically a gamble with no doubt about the outcome!"

"What a pity, that kid is going to fail here."

"..."

Some noises began to emerge from the surroundings, but Zhang Haicheng's smile remained unchanged, though there was a hint of amusement on his face.

Hearing their conversation, Li Kexin and her brother's faces immediately darkened, and they looked at Qin Ziling with great concern.

Li Kexin stared intently at Qin Ziling, as if trying to etch his image into her mind. She secretly resolved that if she could escape unscathed this time, she would definitely repay him properly.

Qin Ziling had no idea what she was thinking. He naturally heard the public's discussion, but it didn't affect him. He watched Zhang Haicheng shuffle the cards with an indifferent gaze.

After showing off his cool shuffling skills, Zhang Haicheng smiled slightly, then spread a deck of cards evenly on the table with both hands.

"Come on, you choose first."

Qin Ziling's eyes flickered, then he glanced at him, smiled, and reached out to draw a card from the deck.

Seeing this, Zhang Haicheng narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised: "I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to have some skills."

He shuffled the cards himself, so he could naturally guess his own hand. In the area where Qin Ziling drew his cards, there were several cards with very low values, but it was unknown which one he had drawn.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's your turn, hurry up and choose." Qin Ziling said calmly.

"Hmph!" The other party's calm and relaxed demeanor made Zhang Haicheng's face show some displeasure, and his original sense of victory slowly subsided.

He glanced at the deck, then reached out and drew a card.

Everyone held their breath as they watched this scene, curious about the trump card.

Zhang Haicheng glanced at the cards in his hand, a smile playing on his lips as he regained his composure: "Looks like even after all these years without playing, my luck is still so good."

He casually tossed his cards onto the table, their numbers clearly visible to everyone.

"Hiss! The Ace of Clubs!"

"No wonder he's called a master strategist! He used his mental arithmetic and exceptional eyesight to determine the order of the cards while shuffling them!" someone knowledgeable exclaimed in admiration.

While the Ace of Clubs brought relief to Zhang Haicheng and the others, it also struck Li Kexin and her brother like a hammer blow, deepening their despair.

We lost!

Zhang Haicheng looked at Qin Ziling and said, "Let's talk about handing over the person."

He believed that Qin Ziling's cards must be weaker than his own, since the opponent was just an unknown nobody, and it was practically impossible for him to draw the Ace of Diamonds, which was only slightly weaker than the Ace of Clubs!

Qin Ziling glanced at the cards on the table, then chuckled: "The result isn't even decided yet, and you're already in a hurry to get people? The mighty Ghost Hand doesn't even have this much patience and manners, does he?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Do you think you can still win?" Zhang Haicheng sneered.

Qin Ziling didn't say much, but threw out his cards, which landed right on Zhang Haicheng's Ace of Clubs. At the same time, a calm voice rang out: "Sorry, I won this round."

Zhang Haicheng's gaze fell on that card, his eyes froze, and his smile slowly faded.

"Holy crap! The Ace of Diamonds! He actually drew the Ace of Diamonds!"

"What incredible luck! He actually got the hardest card to draw!"

"Tsk tsk, this is such a quick slap in the face. I thought Young Master Zhang was going to win for sure, but I didn't expect him to be defeated!"

"..."

Everyone watched this scene in shock, never expecting that Qin Ziling would actually win!

"He won! He won! He won!" Li Qingsheng's face, which had been filled with despair, suddenly lit up with joy, and he exclaimed with immense excitement.

Li Kexin breathed a deep sigh of relief, her chest heaving, and a flush of excitement rose on her pretty face as she felt a strong sense of security.

He won! He really won!

"How did you do that?" Zhang Haicheng asked, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't accept the fact.

He was a master of the Ghost Hands, which didn't mean he had no rivals, but this unknown kid in front of him actually outshone him. If word got out, he would lose all face!
