Chapter 80 With him here, she can't lose.
Huo Zhan asked in a gentle voice, "Are you really planning to exchange your ashes?"
Su Muci lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Besides that, she didn't have any other good options for the time being.
Huo Zhan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, deep and unfathomable, before he finally said, "Alright, since you've made your decision, I will have two forensic doctors and eight bodyguards accompany you to ensure your safety."
...
The transaction between Su Muci and Zhou Mengying was set at the Sands Casino, the most chaotic place in Jiangcheng.
Zhou Mengying and Zhou Wangyuan had been waiting for a long time.
Uncle Jin, the person in charge of the casino, is Zhou Wangyuan's childhood friend.
Their plan was clear: not only to keep Bai Nuannuan's ashes as a bargaining chip to restrain Su Muci, but also to make Su Muci lose all of the six billion here.
Su Muci arrived on time, followed by two forensic doctors and eight stern-faced bodyguards, each clutching a suitcase filled with cash.
As she stepped into the casino, she looked directly at Zhou Mengying, who was sitting at the card table with her legs crossed, completely at ease.
“Zhou Mengying, cash on delivery.”
Zhou Mengying curled her red lips: "Sister, this is so boring! Since we're at the casino, why don't we try something more exciting?"
She clapped her hands, and a bodyguard stepped forward carrying the familiar urn, pouring some of the ashes onto the scales on the table in front of everyone.
"The rules today are: if I win, you pay; if you win, I give you my ashes. One gram of ashes, I'll give you one million. Fair enough?"
Zhou Mengying said quietly.
Su Muci watched as her mother's ashes were desecrated like merchandise, her fingernails digging deep into her palms.
She glanced at Zhou Wangyuan, who was watching coldly, and whispered, "It was such a waste that my mother gave up everything for someone like you."
Zhou Wangyuan's face stiffened: "Shut up! That bitch Bai Nuannuan owes me more than just money! If you say another word, I'll have Ying'er dump all of this down the drain right now!"
Su Muci closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened her eyes again, there was only determination in them: "Fine, I'll take the gamble."
Today, she not only wants to get back her mother's ashes, but also wants them to pay the price!
The game begins:
In the first round, Su Mu's porcelain tiles were completely ruined, resulting in a small loss of ten million.
In the second round, Su Mu's hand was still bad, and he lost by a small margin of 50 million.
In the third round, Su Muci continued to lose by a small margin of 80 million.
...
In ten consecutive rounds, Su Muci suffered defeat after defeat, losing nearly one billion.
As the cash was continuously counted and emptied from the suitcase, Zhou Mengying's smugness almost overflowed.
In the eleventh round, the cards showed that Su Muci had a triple 8, and she decisively placed a large bet: "Two billion!"
Uncle Jin, a seasoned gambler, seemed to have guessed Su Muci's hand and secretly gave her a meaningful look.
Zhou Mengying immediately cheated using the card table mechanism, and the cards instantly turned into a triple 9, causing Su Muchi to lose two billion!
Zhou Mengying, having earned 3 billion, scoffed, "Sister, with such terrible card skills, even if you lose all your money today, it seems you won't win back much of your ashes, will you?"
Su Muchi's expression remained unchanged, and she only uttered two words: "Continue."
In the twelfth round, Su Muci didn't look at her cards and directly put down two billion chips.
Zhou Mengying: "I'll call! Let me see your cards!"
The cards were revealed, and Su Muchi had a pair of sixes.
Zhou Mengying scoffed, "You dare to bet such a big sum against six? Sister, have you lost your mind?"
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at her cards, but her smile instantly froze on her face.
It turned out to be 2, 3, and 5—the smallest possible hand!
She tried to activate the card-switching mechanism, but found that it was unresponsive!
She looked anxiously at Uncle Jin, who also looked surprised and puzzled. How could the equipment malfunction at such a critical moment?
Zhou Mengying's mind was filled with the remaining 3 billion yuan in Su Muci's hands, so she temporarily conceded defeat: "Sister, you win this round!"
The bodyguard beside him, his face ashen, weighed out two kilograms of ashes worth two billion.
The forensic doctor accompanying Su Muci immediately stepped forward and used a portable instrument to conduct DNA testing. After a moment, he respectfully reported: "Madam, the test is correct. It is Ms. Bai Nuannuan's ashes."
Su Muchi carefully stored the ashes in an urn.
Seeing her mother's ashes being used as a bargaining chip, she suppressed her inner turmoil and coldly swept her gaze over Zhou Mengying: "Continue."
In the thirteenth round, Zhou Mengying looked at her cards first—a triple King!
Overjoyed, she pushed all her chips forward: "ALL IN! Su Muci, you're going to lose this time!"
Su Muci recalled the conversation Huo Zhan had with her before she left.
"Since they chose to meet at a casino, I suspect they don't intend to sell you the ashes, but rather keep the ashes as chips to win the money in your hands!"
"Does Mr. Huo have any suggestions?"
"You know how to gamble?"
"Won't."
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
Su Muci thought Huo Zhan would teach her advanced card skills, but what he taught her was how to use magic tricks to secretly switch things out in front of everyone.
"Don't worry, with me here, you can't lose."
With Huo Zhan's last words echoing in her ears, Su Muci felt confident: "Okay, all in it it is."
Zhou Mengying arrogantly slammed three Kings on the table and laughed loudly, "A triple King! Su Muci, you've lost everything! Unless you have a triple Ace!"
"That's quite a coincidence."
Su Muci gently flipped over her cards, revealing three Aces. "It's a triple Ace!"
Zhou Mengying's joy froze instantly.
She had no idea that the reason Su Muci had such bad cards in the first ten rounds was because she had secretly collected three Aces by using a trick, just waiting for this all-in hand to deliver a fatal blow to Zhou Mengying!
Su Muci stood up and said calmly, "You lost. Hand over all the remaining ashes."
Zhou Mengying bit her lip: "That's impossible! How did you know it was a three-of-a-kind without even looking at the cards? How dare you go all in? You're definitely cheating, Uncle Jin!"
With a wave of his hand, Uncle Jin's bodyguards instantly surrounded Su Muci and the others, trapping them in the center.
Uncle Jin's voice carried an undeniable arrogance: "Miss Su, this round doesn't count. Let's move on to the next round."
Surrounded by enemies, Su Muci made a phone call: "I'm in trouble."
Zhou Mengying scoffed: "Want to call for help? Let me tell you, in Uncle Jin's territory, nobody's word counts except for Uncle Jin!"
"Oh? I wonder if my words count?"
A deep, powerful, and authoritative voice came from the doorway.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man with a resolute face, wearing a long black trench coat, walking steadily into the casino with dozens of bodyguards.
Zhou Mengying was intimidated by this imposing aura, and her voice unconsciously softened: "Dad, who...who is he?"
Zhou Wangyuan also looked bewildered.
However, the next second, something astonishing happened.
The once arrogant Uncle Jin stepped forward like a lackey, bowing at a ninety-degree angle, his voice extremely obsequious: "Master Song! What brings you here?!"
Master Song?
Zhou Wangyuan's expression changed instantly.
There is only one Master Song in Jiangcheng, whose influence extends to the heavens and whose underworld connections even reach the capital.
That's a big shot who makes all the casinos in Jiangcheng fear him!
Following Huo Zhan's prior advice, Su Muci spoke with this Master Song by phone before arriving.
She thought it would take a lot of effort to get such an important person to help, but she didn't expect that Master Song would actually show up so readily.
Master Song stepped forward and bowed slightly to Su Muci: "I am late and I apologize for startling you."
