Wang Shuo clenched his fists, his ten fingers tightly interlocked, and his face was almost too embarrassed to show his emotions.

He stepped forward, about to say something, but was interrupted by Chuanliu.

"Brother Qiang, right? Let me help you."

A fawning smile appeared on the girl's face, and she took two steps closer, as if trying to curry favor with Zhuang Qiang.

The latter was taken aback at first, and subconsciously looked at the expression on Qian Chuan's face.

Seeing that Qian Chuan's expression was normal, he forced a lewd smile and said, "Come on, with a beautiful woman to keep me company, how could I possibly lose?"

Wang Shuo and Qian Chuan exchanged a glance; they had seen Chuan Liu's smile like that more than once.

When a girl shows this kind of smile, it means that someone is about to suffer.

Wang Shuo's heart began to fill with anticipation, and his tense body instantly relaxed. He gestured to Xiao Yao with his eyes.

The latter understood and immediately helped Wang Shuo pack the dice.

Wang Shuo placed his hand on the dice cup. "Then let's do the simplest thing: compare the size of the three dice?"

To everyone's surprise, Zhuang Qiang showed no respect for Wang Shuo. He looked at Qian Chuan and said, "Since Brother Qian is here, shall we have a real contest?"

Qian Chuan's eyes swept over Chuan Liu, then a smile appeared on his lips. "Alright, whoever loses shouldn't get angry."

Zhuang Qiang looked up and laughed. Although he didn't manage the Red Peach Casino like Wang Shuo, he had spent many years in casinos and was quite confident in his gambling skills.

He clapped his hands and called over his two henchmen. The henchmen immediately handed him the exchanged chips.

Then, he sat in the chair, impatiently tapping his fingers on the table, occasionally stroking his smooth head, displaying his charm to the crowd.

After a while, Qian Chuan returned with the chips.

The two people sat facing each other.

Zhuang Qiang scratched his face. "Let's play it the simplest way possible. The first round is 5,000 points, the second is 10,000 points, and the third is 20,000 points. It's '7 of Hearts' versus '6 of Diamonds,' a man versus man showdown, okay?"

Qian Chuan nodded in agreement.

"Let's start with a beautiful woman," Zhuang Qiang ordered habitually.

Chuanliu's smile deepened. She walked to the middle and opened the dice cups for both of them. "Please check your dice."

Zhuang Qiang glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "Let's skip these previous steps; they're too tedious."

Chuanliu continued to smile as he covered the dice cups and pushed them in front of the two men. "The game begins."

Zhuang Qiang and Qian Chuan started shaking the dice cup, and then stopped at the same time.

"Please show the dice rolls."

Money string opens:

4, 5, 6.

It was Zhuang Qiang's turn:

4, 6.

"Money string 15 points, Zhuang Qiang..."

Just as Chuanliu was about to make an announcement, Zhuang Qiang slammed his hand on the table and stood up, demanding, "What's going on? Why are there only two dice in here?"

The girl tilted her head, looking completely innocent. "I don't know either. You clearly checked it yourself just now?"

Wang Shuo and Xiao Yao were secretly overjoyed. If they hadn't witnessed Chuan Liu's methods, they probably would have had the same expression as Zhuang Qiang.

But now, they just feel that watching people get abused is incredibly satisfying.

Zhuang Qiang shuffled the dice. "I'm missing one die, this round doesn't count!"

Wang Shuo quickly interjected, "Brother Qiang, this isn't in accordance with the rules. You clearly checked it yourself just now. If you accidentally shook one away while shaking it, are we going to be held responsible?"

Zhuang Qiang felt a pang of guilt. He pondered whether he had accidentally thrown a die. But he had never encountered anything like this before, and the man found it very strange.

But words spoken are like water spilled; Zhuang Qiang had just promised Qian Chuan that he wouldn't turn against him, so his outburst now shows he's in the wrong.

Therefore, he pretended to be generous and pushed 5,000 points towards the money string.

Then, somewhat unwillingly, he said, "Alright, alright, I'll let you have a turn. Money String, if I had a third die, I'd definitely beat you!"

Qian Chuan didn't speak, but gestured for Chuan Liu to continue.

Chuanliu took out a die from a pile of dice behind him, showed it to everyone, and then placed it under Zhuang Qiang's dice cup.

"Please check the number of dice."

She emphasized it again.

This time, Zhuang Qiang dared not be negligent. He carefully examined his three dice and then nodded.

Chuanliu pushed the two dice cups toward the two of them again.

The sound of dice colliding rang out, then fell silent again.

"Please show the dice rolls."

Money string opens:

4, 5, 6.

Zhuang Qiang opened:

2, 6.

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

At this moment, Zhuang Qiang was not only shocked and angry, but also filled with confusion.

The others, however, were secretly laughing to themselves.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Zhuang Qiang's patience was running out. He cursed as he lifted the dice cup to carefully examine whether there were any hidden mechanisms inside.

Then, he questioned Wang Shuo, "Is there something fishy about these things in your casino? Why is there another die missing?"

Wang Shuo suppressed a smile. "Brother Qiang, our stuff is definitely fine. If you think there's a problem, you can go and report me to the boss."

Then, he pretended to analyze the situation for Zhuang Qiang, "Could it be that you haven't been here for too long and have lost your touch, causing you to throw the dice away?"

As he spoke, Wang Shuo bent down and peered under the table, examining it from all angles.

Zhuang Qiang cursed and threw his chips toward the money string, "I don't believe it! Let's play again!"

Chuanliu nodded, then took another die and placed it in the man's dice cup.

Just as she was about to cover it up, Zhuang Qiang suddenly shouted:

"etc!"

The girl stopped moving and quietly looked at Zhuang Qiang.

The latter, looking cautious, squinted and commanded, "Spread your hands out."

The girl obediently spread out her hands—there was nothing there.

"Roll up your sleeves!" Zhuang Qiang continued.

The girl did as instructed, but still got nothing.

Zhuang Qiang nodded. This time, instead of letting Chuanliu push the dice cup toward him, he stood up, looked at the two dice cups in the middle of the game table, and decisively took the one that Qianchuan had originally used.

After receiving it, he even lifted it up to take a look and confirm that there were three dice inside before he started shaking it.

Qian Chuan then started the game by taking Zhuang Qiang's card.

The sound stopped.

Zhuang Qiang first lifted his own dice cup to take a look, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no problem. He then slammed the dice cup hard on the table.

5, 5, 6.

His chances of winning are very high.

He began to feel secretly fortunate that the chips in the third round were 20,000 points, which meant he could not only win back the chips he had just won, but also make a net profit of 5,000 points.

And the string of coins opened:

2, 4, 5, 6.

Zhuang Qiang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Is this place haunted?!

He practically roared, and in a fit of rage, he slammed the dice cup to the ground.
