Chapter 238 Tsk~Who do you think you are?
The moment Lan Xiyue stepped into the gambling house, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes half-closed, and her gaze as sharp as torches scanned everything around her.
The gambling house was filled with noise and the heat and the smell of sweat mixed together to form an indescribable smell that made people cover their noses.
She muttered to herself: This gambling house business is really good. It always attracts those crazy people who want to get rich overnight, no matter when and where.
The crowd was bustling and crowded, filling up the various gambling tables, with shouts, cheers and sighs coming one after another.
There were too many people in the gambling house. Lan Xiyue looked around but didn't see her, Lan Zhenrong. Now that she was already at the gambling house, why not take this opportunity to have some fun?
She strolled to a gambling table where people were betting on big or small. She saw gold and silver glittering on the table. People were either concentrating and calm, or cheering and jumping for joy, with different expressions on their faces.
Lan Xiyue observed quietly for a few seconds, her eyes as sharp as an eagle, and soon discovered the dealer's tricks.
The dealer's seemingly casual actions actually concealed a mystery, and his cheating methods were obvious.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded in Lan Xiyue's mind: "Dear host, do you want to gamble? This is a good way to make quick money."
A playful smile appeared on Lan Xiyue's lips, and with a flash of thought, she took out a few silver bills from her sleeve.
She whispered to herself, "I'm not short of money now, but I just can't stand the dealer's cheating tactics. System, today I'll let you see what it means to be a gambling king."
System: "Dear host, this system believes in you. You are omnipotent."
Lan Xiyue felt ashamed when she heard this, but the current system spoke very sweetly and she liked it.
The dealer yelled, "Those who want to place their bets, place them now! Bet on it and leave it at that!"
Lan Xiyue threw the banknote in her hand to the "small" side without hesitation.
There was a lot of discussion around, and many people bought the "big" one. They murmured in anticipation: "This one must be the big one. I've already opened a few small ones. I don't believe it's so weird."
As the dealer shouted "Open", everyone's heart was in their throat.
When the dice cup was opened, everyone sighed as they saw that all the numbers on the dice were small.
The dealer was grinning from ear to ear as he collected money and paid out bets with a skillful and proud demeanor.
Round after round, many people did not believe in evil and continued to bet big, but Lan Xiyue remained consistent and sat on the Diaoyutai. After a few games, the banknotes in front of her became more and more.
This scene quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at it in surprise.
Some people whispered, "Who is this guy? It seems he didn't get all the predictions right."
Someone else said excitedly: "Yeah, yeah, I noticed it a long time ago. I quickly followed a few times, and hey, I won all of them."
The dealer, a middle-aged man with a weathered face, had fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He wiped it nervously, glancing at Lan Xiyue from time to time. His slightly trembling hands revealed his inner uneasiness. This kid always wins, it's a bit weird, he doesn't believe he can win this time.
"Buy it and leave it!"
Many people turned their eyes to Lan Xiyue, who slowly placed all the banknotes in front of him on the "leopard" bet. This action immediately set off a chain reaction, and many people followed Lan Xiyue's example without thinking twice, following his lead and betting on the "leopard" bet. The atmosphere in the gambling house instantly reached a climax, and everyone's breathing became rapid.
Seeing this, the dealer's palms were sweating profusely. He tried to reach under the table with his left hand, as if he wanted to do something.
However, Lan Xiyue's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen through everything. He moved his body, reaching out like a ghost, and directly grasped the banker's wrist. A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised an eyebrow and said, "You open it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the gambling house erupted in uproar. Everyone started to make a noise, some urging the dealer to open the bet quickly.
The dealer's face turned pale as he tremblingly opened the dice cup, only to see three dice neatly arranged together, and it was a leopard!
"Wow, it's a real leopard!" someone exclaimed. "If I had known, I would have bet all my money on it!"
"Yeah, I've never been this excited about gambling as I was today. This guy is amazing. I win every time I follow him!"
The dealer sighed and paid out the silver on the table to the winners one by one. Soon there was little silver left on his desk, and he lost all the money he had earned that day.
The dealer secretly groaned in his heart. This kid was very evil. If he continued to gamble, he would probably lose everything today.
Thinking of this, the dealer quickly packed up his stall and said, "That's all for today. If you want to gamble, go to another table or continue tomorrow."
But the people at this table were not happy.
Someone shouted, "Why don't you gamble anymore? I was thinking of following this young man and betting all the money I have!"
"That's right, why not stop the traffic? It's still early!"
"The dealer must be afraid of losing!"
Facing the accusations and ridicule of the crowd, the dealer remained unmoved. He knew that his luck for the day had run out and that continuing to gamble would only lead to even greater losses. So, regardless of everyone's pleas to stay, he hurriedly slipped upstairs.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the gambling house, Lan Zhenrong was listening to the commotion. His brow furrowed, secretly curious about who could have stirred up such a stir in the gambling house. After some inquiries, he learned that there was a formidable individual at the Big/Small betting booth who was winning every time.
Lan Zhenrong's eyes were red with anger at this time. As a marquis, he lived a life of luxury and never thought that one day he would have to worry about money. If the Duke of Protectorate had not blamed him for the death of Yun Qing and her daughter, he would not have turned a blind eye to the situation in the marquisate. And that evil girl didn't even give out any money. It must have been instigated by the Duke of Protectorate.
He had to go to the gambling house to make money, but he lost the only three hundred taels he brought with him. Even the five thousand taels of silver notes he borrowed from the gambling house were lost, leaving only one hundred taels. No, he had to make up for his losses.
Lan Zhenrong walked to Lan Xiyue's side. He felt familiar with her, but he didn't know where he had seen her before.
“Little brother!”
Lan Xiyue turned around and saw Lan Zhenrong, raising an eyebrow. He didn't recognize her? Of course, she was dressed as a man and even deliberately applied male makeup. It was only natural that he didn't recognize her. After all, her skills in changing her appearance with makeup were no exaggeration.
Lan Xiyue deliberately raised her voice and asked, "What?"
Lan Zhenrong smiled apologetically and said, "Young Master, let's go over and talk. Come..."
Lan Xiyue followed Lan Zhenrong to a corner of the gambling house. Lan Zhenrong said, "Little brother, to be honest, I've lost all my banknotes and only have a hundred left. Can you help me make up for it? I'll definitely give you a reward later."
Lan Xiyue said disdainfully, "Tsk~ Who do you think you are? Why should I help you? Huh?"
