The relaxed atmosphere was suddenly gripped tightly again by an invisible hand.
Wang Shuo's words were abruptly interrupted, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Qian Chuan, his eyes filled with incomprehension and doubt.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Qian Chuan's gaze passed over Wang Shuo and shot straight at Chuan Liu, his eyes sharp. "Chuan Liu, how many dice did you take in total?"
The short sentence was like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in the hearts of Wang Shuo and Xiao Yao.
Almost instinctively, they followed the line of sight of the money and their eyes fell on the dice on the table.
They began to silently count the number of dice, a strange tension rising within them.
One, two, three... ten,
……eleven?
When they counted to eleven, the same question popped into Wang Shuo's and Xiao Yao's minds almost simultaneously.
Their eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe them. They counted again, and the result was still eleven.
Wang Shuo clearly remembers that at the beginning, he checked the number of dice for the two people, and both Chuanliu and Xiaoyao had the same number of ten dice.
But now, why is there an extra die in the dice cup?
And the person who made all of this happen was undoubtedly the girl in front of us.
Wang Shuo laughed, shook his head, and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder. "Xiao Yao, it seems you still have a lot of room for improvement."
Ever since Chuanliu rolled that 15 in the last round, Xiaoyao has held Chuanliu in high esteem. Now, Xiaoyao knows that she has lost completely.
He didn't think it was a foul; as a judge, keen observation was also an important part of his job.
The girl's ability is to add an extra die in full view of everyone.
Not to mention that they had no idea when the girl put the eleventh die into the dice cup; controlling eleven dice is a level more difficult than controlling ten.
Xiaoyao looked at Chuanliu with eager eyes, bowed deeply, and said, "I lost."
As the four were chatting around the game table, a man's voice came from outside the door.
"Shuowu, I heard you have guests here?"
The voice was high-pitched and piercing, with a hint of laughter in it.
Before Wang Shuo could respond, the VIP room door was pushed open with a bang.
A slightly overweight man walked in. He was about the same age as Wang Shuo, but his bald head shone brightly under the light, making him quite distinctive.
The man first looked around, his gaze lingering a little longer on the only unfamiliar face present—Chuanliu.
He walked over to Qian Chuan's original spot and sat down, then spoke directly to Qian Chuan:
"Oh, it's Brother Qian Liu! I thought he was some important person who deserved such a grand reception from you."
After saying that, he turned to Wang Shuo and continued to tease him, thinking he was being humorous: "Shuo Wu, you've really gone all out this time, even turning on the fountain. I think you've spent all your energy on flattery! Hahahaha."
Wang Shuo's face gradually darkened under the man's teasing.
However, the man seemed oblivious to Wang Shuo's displeasure. Instead, he turned to Qian Chuan with even more smugness and said, "Brother Qian, you only ever look for this kid when you come here. Don't you consider me a brother anymore? You'd better take me with you next time. I'll show you a good time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward.
Chuanliu silently observed all of this, pondering the identity and purpose of this uninvited guest.
At this point, Wang Shuo's patience finally reached its limit. His tone revealed a hint of displeasure as he said, "Brother Qiang, you're extremely busy every day in the red-light district. We were just afraid of bothering you, weren't we?"
The "red-light district" that Wang Shuo mentioned is another industrial chain of the City of Red Peach.
His words were pointed.
However, Qiang Ge didn't seem to grasp the deeper meaning in Wang Shuo's words. Instead, he smugly replied, "That's right! I finally managed to find some time to come to the Red Peach Casino, but nobody was there. Wang Shuo, the management of your casino really needs improvement!"
Wang Shuo smirked, revealing a mocking smile, and said sarcastically, "Not at all, Brother Qiang, your management skills in the red-light district are far beyond my reach. After all, I can't let my subordinates be on good terms with me."
Qiang Ge still seemed oblivious to Wang Shuo's sarcasm, instead nodding proudly and laughing loudly, "Hahaha, that's true, I do have my own methods for managing the red-light district. But speaking of which, your casino side also needs to step up its efforts, don't always disappoint us customers."
Wang Shuo sneered, offering no further comment. Instead, he turned to Chuan Liu and introduced, "This is 'Red Heart 7' from our Red Heart City, Zhuang Qiang, Brother Qiang, in charge of human resources management in the red-light district."
Upon hearing this, Chuanliu nodded slightly as a greeting.
However, Zhuang Qiang did not speak to Xiao Yao and Chuan Liu at all, as if he treated them as if they were invisible.
Instead of trying to break the deadlock after Wang Shuo's introduction, he gestured towards Chuanliu with a lewd smile and continued speaking to Qian Chuan:
"Brother Qian Liu, did you bring this girl?"
Qian Chuan was displeased, but he didn't show it on his face. He didn't speak, a flash of coldness crossed his eyes, and only a faint smile remained.
However, Zhuang Qiang clearly did not sense the atmosphere present.
He continued to stare at the flowing river, his lewd smile growing ever more pronounced.
He rubbed his hands together and said, "So, Brother Qian Liu likes this type. You should have told me sooner. I have plenty of girls, including this type. I guarantee you'll find one you like. I'll arrange it for you."
During the conversation, he offended everyone present in succession.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became extremely awkward and silent.
Zhuang Qiang, with his excessive insensitivity, continued to break the deadlock.
Seeing that the four of them were still standing, he patted the armrest of his chair. "What are you all doing? Why are you all gathered around the game table?"
As he spoke, he moved closer.
When Qiang Ge saw the dice on the table, the dozens of dice had become a jumbled mess.
He shifted his body excitedly, "Shall we play a game?"
Then, he ordered Xiaoyao and Chuanliu, "What are you two doing? The table is such a mess, are you expecting me to clean it up myself?"
Xiaoyao and Chuanliu exchanged a glance, but instead of speaking, they actually started tidying up the table.
"Brother Qiang, we've had enough fun, let's go. I'll treat you to dinner."
Wang Shuo's smile was full of coldness as he spoke politely.
Zhuang Qiang said unhappily, "What? You think I'm not going to play now that I'm here? Do you guys even respect me, the '7 of Hearts'? I'm going to play anyway today!"
Then, he pointed at Xiaoyao and said, "You! Come here and load the dice for me!"
