He opened the file and his gaze fell upon it.

Upon seeing the contents of the file, Ling Qingyi's expression instantly froze, and her ears turned slightly red.

But as the underground queen who manages the entire underground force, Ling Qingyi is adept at controlling her emotions. She quickly regained her original composure, sealed the file, and placed it on the table.

"These are your terms?"

Ling Qingyi asked coldly.

"Yes, would you be willing to accept?" Ye Xiaoli revealed a charming smile.

Ling Qingyi frowned.

"Miss, are you really going to gamble with her?"

Uncle Xu, who was standing nearby, bent down and whispered, "I just received information that Miss Ye has not lost a single time since she entered the casino. Many casinos have investigated her, but none of them have found any evidence that she is cheating. Miss, please consider this carefully."

"I know." Ling Qingyi nodded. She had noticed Ye Xiaoli's strange behavior by observing the surveillance footage just now.

For someone who seems incredibly lucky but doesn't appear to be cheating, refusing is the best course of action.

But this is her territory, and she's already come knocking on her door. If she doesn't agree, people will laugh at her.

Her image will suffer a major blow, and when she manages the underground forces, her prestige will not be the same as before, and she will not be able to command the obedience of the people.

So this is also what troubles her.

“Miss, she’s too strange. Whether it’s the betting or the terms, we’re the ones who will suffer. So we have to be careful.”

When Uncle Xu reminded her again, Ling Qingyi's gaze grew even colder.

Especially when she thought about what she had just seen in the file, she gritted her teeth slightly.

Ye Xiaoli looks like a well-bred young lady, so why would she propose such a thing?

Even the coolest emotions couldn't help but stir.

"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you too scared to bet with me?"

Ye Xiaoli clasped her hands together, crossed her legs, leaned back in her chair, and looked at Ling Qingyi with an enigmatic smile.

The other guests were also whispering among themselves, knowing Ling Qingyi's character and conduct, and that Ling Qingyi should accept it.

But they didn't respond, which made them curious and they started talking.

"Speaking of which, why doesn't Miss Ling, who is so decisive and domineering, just agree? Why did she hesitate for so long?"

"Perhaps it's because Miss Ling doesn't know how to gamble. Although this casino belongs to her, I've never seen her gamble."

"Wouldn't her image suffer terribly? People have come all this way to her door, and she, as the hostess, is timid. What will people think of her in the future? If word gets back to Yan Province, she'll be laughed to death."

"I think so too. However, this Miss Ye is too strange. She has incredibly good luck. It's normal for Miss Ling not to agree. If she loses, she will lose even more face."

"If Miss Ke Ling doesn't agree, there's no one who can stop her now. We've never heard of anyone in Ningcheng who's the best at gambling."

"..."

“Miss Ling, if you are unwilling, I will not make things difficult for you. After all, this is just a hobby.”

Ye Xiaoli continued, "Actually, I know that you, Miss Ling, are not good at gambling. If you are worried about losing to me, I can relax the conditions and allow you to hire outside help. I wonder if you would be willing to accept that?"

Need outside help?

Only Ye Xiaoli would dare to say such a thing. If anyone else dared to say it in front of Ling Qingyi, they would have been dealt with long ago.

That's disrespectful.

But if the three strongest brothers have all been defeated, who can we ask for outside help at this point?

Ningcheng is alright, at least I have time to come here.

But Ningcheng had never heard of anyone who was good at gambling.

If they asked someone else, Ye Xiaoli probably wouldn't agree either, since it would be too much of a waste of time.

“Miss, please agree to her request,” said Passerby A.

Ling Qingyi turned her head to look at the passerby.

Passerby A nodded affirmatively: "This condition can be agreed to."

"reason."

“I know someone who can help us, and you know that person, Miss.”

"Who is it?" Ling Qingyi asked in confusion. Was there really someone in Ningcheng who was good at gambling?

If she had known, she would have already taken them in; there would be no way she would have left them out there.

The Ling family's intelligence team is no joke; they can know about any movement in Ningcheng immediately. If there were such a gambling expert, the news would have been sent out long ago.

"It's Young Master Luo."

"What?"

It was actually Luo Chen!

Ling Qingyi's expression changed.

When did Luo Chen become so skilled? Although that guy often goes to bars and does these things, I've never heard of him being particularly good at this.

Ling Qingyi couldn't help but look at Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu looked embarrassed and scratched his cheek: "Miss, what he said is true."

Why didn't you tell me?

"Because, I'm a little embarrassed..."

Uncle Xu glanced at the passerby.

Passerby A lowered his head in shame, remembering the day he was photographed.

Looking at the two of them, Ling Qingyi felt curious.

Uncle Xu didn't hide anything and told him in a low voice.

After hearing everything, Ling Qingyi looked at the passerby with a strange expression.

"I never knew you were interested in modeling."

Hearing such teasing, not only passerby A, but also passerby B and passerby C lowered their heads in shame, so embarrassed that they almost dug out a three-bedroom, two-living-room house with the soles of their feet.

Ignoring her further, Ling Qingyi looked at Ye Xiaoli and said coldly, "Fine, I accept."

Ye Xiaoli simply smiled at this.

[...]

"So, what's going on?"

Luo Chen, upon arriving at the casino, looked at the two women before him, utterly bewildered.

Having not been to a club in a long time, he made a rare trip to Huaqing Pool for a massage.

After all, Han Zhiruo had already allowed the business to open normally. As a esteemed member, how could I not go and support them?

The result was good.

I had just started discussing massage techniques with Number Three when the door was pushed open.

A group of bodyguards dressed in black suits, ties, and sunglasses rushed in.

Without saying a word, he said directly, "Miss, please come in."

They then took Luo Chen away.

Number three was left inside with regret.

"Luo Chen, you bet with her."

Ling Qingyi walked over, wearing a black cheongsam with embroidered satin. The slit in her long legs accentuated her curves, making her incredibly beautiful.

But these were not the things that Luo Chen paid attention to.

The question is, why gamble in the first place?

[What's going on? What are you betting on?!]

Did I agree?

[By the way, what's Ye Xiaoli doing here?!]

[The host successfully dissed the opponent; reward: +3 to combat power.]

Ling Qingyi's expression became slightly unnatural as she explained to Luo Chen, "She suddenly came to sabotage my event and asked you to come so that she could help me win back the situation."

"Is there no one left at your casino?" Luo Chen asked with a strange look and annoyance.

"She's incredibly lucky; nobody can beat her."

Luo Chen glared at Ling Qingyi, then looked at Ye Xiaoli, whose eyes were shining.

[So that's how it is.]

[I feel a bit annoyed. Why gamble like this? I finally got a massage and they brought me here, and now I have to gamble with this incredibly lucky Ye Xiaoli.]
