Chapter 207

Qin Hanyue looked back at Qiao Ying who had stopped: “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Ying: “What is that across the street?”

Qin Hanyue followed her gaze to look over: “It looks like a casino - Baccarat, baccarat.”

The sign was huge and the building was magnificent.

There seemed to be an altercation at the entrance between some gamblers who had lost money and the casino staff, resulting in a physical conflict. It didn't escape Qiao Ying's ears.

Qin Hanyue could see that Qiao Ying was intrigued.

Was she in the mood for this again?

Qiao Ying looked at him and suddenly asked, "Mr. Qin, what's the most outrageous thing you've done from childhood until now?"

Qin Hanyue: "Nothing."

Qiao Ying: "You must have gone to entertainment clubs for business meetings before, right?"

Qin Hanyue: "No. Even when discussing business, I'm the one who chooses the venue, and we only go to legitimate establishments."

Qiao Ying: "You've never even gone to a bar? You had a Western education before college. Didn't you go out and have fun with kids your age on weekends?"

Qin Hanyue: "I never had anything in common with people my age from a young age, so I don't really need entertainment to balance out life."

Qiao Ying thought to herself: He really is a serious, straight-laced workaholic.

Knowing that Qiao Ying liked to have fun much of the time, Qin Hanyue changed his tune: "Mainly because I never met friends who I could really have fun with."

Qiao Ying: “Your life must be really dull and boring - come gamble some money with me, will you?"

Qin Hanyue: “Sure.”

Qin Yan watched the two walk into the casino and couldn’t help but worry: “The young master is going to be led astray by Miss Qiao...”

The casino was huge and luxurious. There was even a bar inside that served food. It was clearly the biggest casino in town.

Even in broad daylight, there were quite a few people inside.

As Qin Hanyue led Qiao Ying in, their superior looks and remarkable temperament immediately attracted quite a bit of attention.

A woman dressed in a sexy bunny girl outfit walked by them carrying a tray of drinks for the gamblers, throwing Qin Hanyue a flirtatious glance as she swayed her hips. But she was ignored.

Qiao Ying smelled a waft of perfume pass by and asked: “See something?”

Qin Hanyue: “A person.”

He saw Qiao Ying’s mouth curl up slightly, looking as if she had already guessed what had transpired. Had she been to casinos before? She seemed to know the workings of them so well.

Qiao Ying: “Let’s go see what looks fun to play.”

Qin Hanyue led her over to a gambling table. Qiao Ying listened for a while to know what game they were playing.

“Baccarat, originating from France, is a card game that uses 3-8 decks with each deck consisting of 52 cards, shuffled together...”

“Texas Hold'em, poker...”

They went around to several gambling tables, and there wasn’t a game she didn’t know.

As Qin Hanyue listened to her explain the rules, he stared at her intently: “Since when did you learn to gamble?”

Jingyan Cheng didn’t seem like she would play these games. The only possibility was that she must have played them with Yesha.

Qiao Ying: “I know how to kill and commit arson, so why would gambling be difficult?”

Qin Hanyue was speechless.

After looking around, most of the games involved probability, and with a bit of brains it wouldn't be hard to win. Qiao Ying told him to try his hand at it.

Qin Hanyue exchanged some chips.

He brought Qiao Ying over to a gambling table with few people.

Blackjack, 21 points - the rules were simple. The goal was to get 21 points in your hand or beat the dealer. More than luck, this game tested your daringness at whether you would keep drawing cards.

The dealer and other players looked at these two Asian faces.

One of them said in French: “This is my first time seeing someone bring a girlfriend to gamble.” Another echoed his sentiments.

Qin Hanyue put out his chips.

The croupier dealt the cards.

Qin Hanyue picked up his cards and told Qiao Ying his score.

Both of them had vastly superior intelligence quotients that would overwhelm others, and since they both understood probability, plus their boldness, with Qiao Ying seemingly an old hand at gambling, if these two collaborated, they could easily bankrupt this casino.

On top of that, with luck on their side, Qin Hanyue won over dozens of rounds consecutively.

Even if he originally had low scores, Qin Hanyue, who was adept at understanding human psychology and turning situations around in the business world, could still easily reverse the situation. Analyzing the cards in hand, observing the dealer’s expressions, calculating probabilities - everything came easily for Qin Hanyue.

Qiao Ying sat to the side, flipping two chips up and down in her hand. In front of her on the table was a pile of colorful chips.

The dealer’s forehead was drenched in sweat. The gazes of the casino staff next to him were also gradually turning hostile as they kept exchanging looks with the dealer.

More and more people gathered around the gambling table. People were now standing behind and around Qiao Ying.

Qin Hanyue took off his coat and put it on Qiao Ying, as if silently declaring something. This action made the few people standing close to her tactfully back away a little.

Feeling bored, Qiao Ying said: “Let’s switch tables.”

The two gathered up their huge pile of chips and went off to try their luck fleecing money at another table.

Seeing them walk away, the dealer let out a huge sigh of relief as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

But the dealer at the next table was about to fall victim.

Craps - dice. The rules were simple: bet big or small. Below ten points was small, above eleven points was big.

Beginners purely relied on luck, veterans analyzed the scores based on the dealer’s technique, while experts listened for the scores. Qiao Ying belonged to the latter group.

As soon as she sat down at the gambling table, Qiao Ying didn't rush Qin Hanyue to place his bet. Instead, she listened to a few rounds, asked Qin Hanyue for the scores, and with that she basically understood what technique this dealer was using.

Qin Hanyue: “Bet big or small?”

Qiao Ying: “Thirteen points, three four six, big.”

Qin Hanyue: “You can even hear the scores?”

Qiao Ying: “You’ll also be able to after listening more.”

Since they were here for Qiao Ying to have fun anyway, Qin Hanyue didn’t care about winning or losing. He directly pushed out over half of the chips in his hand and bet big.

Since they had already caught the attention of the casino from the previous table, the gamblers here were all people who had followed them over from the last table.

Seeing Qin Hanyue’s confident betting, the dealer's heart leaped to this throat. Many gamblers followed suit with their bets.

The dealer rolled the dice. Qin Hanyue looked over.

Three four six, thirteen points - big.

It was exactly the same as what Qiao Ying had said.

Marveling to himself, Qin Hanyue looked at the doubled amount of chips and couldn't help but ask: “Is there anything in this world that you don’t know how to do?”

Qiao Ying responded without any modesty: “Your sister here is omnipotent.”

Qin Hanyue laughed out loud: “Sister?”

He recalled what had happened at the airport when they returned from Acklin the last time, when that tactless person had claimed that they were siblings.

Qiao Ying shot back: “Brother, place your bet.”

Clearly she was also remembering that incident and using it to tease him.

Qin Hanyue: “Guess again?”

Qiao Ying: “Two three three, eight points, small.”

Every single one of Qiao Ying’s guesses was accurate. It was a good thing Qin Yan wasn’t here, otherwise he would surely have been shocked speechless.

And then he would take out his little gold reserve and follow them to strike it rich.

After several rounds, Qin Hanyue was also starting to pick things up by ear. Qiao Ying let go of the reins and let him play on his own.

Although he couldn't accurately deduce every score like Qiao Ying, with a fifty percent chance of guessing big or small correctly, it was hard for him to lose.

By now gamblers from all over had gathered around this table, following the two’s bets, everyone making a fortune.

The gamblers were excited and regarded the two as money gods.

Every single one of the two’s gambles resulted in a win.

When lunchtime rolled around, Qiao Ying had played enough.

So Qin Hanyue pushed all of his remaining gambling chips forward in one go, betting small, preparing to leave after this round.

The gamblers all followed suit with their bets, choosing small.

An all-in bet with all chips on the line caused everyone to hold their breaths in suspense.

The dealer and his assistant exchanged a glance.

The dealer's hand naturally reached below the table, pressing a hidden button.

The dice tumbled around in the cup.

The scores changed from “two two four” to “five five five”. Qiao Ying’s ears twitched slightly.

Qin Hanyue didn’t notice anything off, but the dealer and his assistant’s subtle exchange of glances and the hand suddenly feeling around on the table caught his attention.

In gambling, the house wins nine times out of ten. Qin Hanyue didn’t believe for a second that they were trying to make an honest living with a casino of this size.

Just as the dealer was about to reveal the dice.

Qiao Ying called out in French: “Wait.”
