Chapter 1023: Are You Sure?

"Chen Yu, are you sure?" Lili laughed. "You've been winning for so long, I feel like your luck has just about run out. What do you think?"

"Is that so? I, on the other hand, feel that my momentum of luck is currently at its peak. You don't need to worry about that." Chen Yu grinned, and he said leisurely, "Besides, as for money, as the saying goes, it is merely an external possession. Everyone is here to play, and what we are playing for is a good time."

"Hahaha, so you agree then?" Guangtou Qiang laughed loudly. "Are you sure?"

"Chen Yu, you better think this through." Zhang Qiang, who was on the side, goaded Chen Yu. "I think Lili is right. Your luck has run out, and it might not be so good from here on. Think it through."

"It's fine, I've thought it through. It's nothing more than a million or so; I can afford to play." Chen Yu smiled. "I won't even look at these cards. Let's just reveal them."

"Good, interesting. For the sake of your temperament, I've decided to make you a friend." Guangtou Qiang laughed loudly. He grabbed the cards in his hand and slammed them onto the table. He roared, "I have a Baozi here. Can you compare with me? Do you have a hand bigger than mine?"

"My god, Qiang Ge has a Baozi. That is truly too impressive." Lili said with an exaggerated expression. "Chen Yu, you're willing to accept the loss of the bet now, right? You don't have any hand bigger than Qiang Ge's, do you?"

"Sigh, look, I tried to advise you not to play like this. Now over a million is gone. Although you aren't short on money, playing like this doesn't make you feel good, does it?" Zhang Qiang also put on an expression of regret.

"It's fine, I'm willing to accept the loss of the bet. It's just that my cards haven't been revealed yet, and we haven't reached the final step. I don't believe I've lost just like that." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Haha, Chen Yu, I know you aren't willing to give up, but what can you do even if you aren't? Qiang Ge's Baozi is the biggest hand. Do you happen to have a hand bigger than Qiang Ge's?" Lili mocked.

"Friend, my apologies, this money is all mine now." Guangtou Qiang was extremely smug, and he reached out to touch the money in front of Chen Yu.

"My cards haven't been revealed yet. Is Qiang Ge being a bit too impatient?" Chen Yu asked.

"Haha, no need to reveal them. My hand is the biggest. Do you really have a hand bigger than mine?" Guangtou Qiang laughed.

"Although it is the biggest, there is a hand that can beat it by a little, for example, 2-3-5." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"2-3-5? Haha, that hand is the smallest, but it just so happens to be able to counter a Baozi. However, the probability of that hand is too small. Are you sure your hand is 2-3-5?" Guangtou Qiang looked at Chen Yu with a mocking expression.

"How would I know without looking?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Chen Yu, we've reached this point, just give up." Lili sneered. "You aren't short of this bit of money, so don't struggle anymore."

"That's right, Chen Yu. Qiang Ge's hand is clearly the biggest hand. It's impossible for you to have gotten a 2-3-5. Just accept it." Zhang Qiang also said triumphantly.

"How would I know without looking?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Alright then, I know you aren't reconciled to this, so this time I'll make you accept it wholeheartedly. Reveal your cards, let me see what kind of hand you could possibly have." Guangtou Qiang sneered.

Chen Yu slowly and methodically opened the cards in front of him. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he flipped the cards over and tossed them onto the table.

The expressions of the crowd froze in that instant, especially Qiang Ge's; the expression on his face was incredibly spectacular. It could be seen that the three cards Chen Yu had flipped over were indeed 2-3-5.

"2-3-5?" Sister Hong, who usually didn't speak much, couldn't help but stand up, staring fixedly at these cards of Chen Yu's. This was truly too coincidental; the smallest hand, yet it happened to be able to counter the biggest hand.

"Haha, Qiang Ge, be willing to accept the loss of the bet. I'll gladly accept your things." Chen Yu laughed loudly.

"How is this possible? How could it be such a coincidence?" Lili on the side was in disbelief.

Zhang Qiang's face immediately turned gloomy. He felt that this matter was unusual, but he couldn't find the reason. How could Chen Yu's cards be such a coincidence?

"This is impossible. You must have cheated." Guangtou Qiang's complexion turned gloomy. "Kid, daring to cheat in my establishment, are you tired of living?"

"Qiang Ge, you have surveillance here, right? And the cards were just sitting here without moving, everyone saw it clearly. You're saying I cheated?" Chen Yu sneered. "Everyone is just playing for fun. If you can't afford to lose, then forget it."

"It's just that such a thing would actually happen in the largest establishment in Ji City, which makes me feel baffled. You are, after all, one of the people in charge here. If you can't afford to lose like this, why open an establishment?" Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Kid, what did you say?" The expression on Qiang Ge's face changed instantly. He stared fixedly at Chen Yu, and a group of underlings had already surrounded the entrance. It looked like this matter would not end easily.

"Chen Ge." Zhang Yanxi was a bit nervous. She grabbed Chen Yu's sleeve tightly and tugged at him, signaling that a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him.

Chen Yu turned his head and smiled to reassure her, then he said indifferently, "Is Qiang Ge planning to use force? It's only a million or so. If this gets out, people will laugh."

"Chen Yu, Qiang Ge is with Mr. Xu. Watch what you say." Zhang Qiang's expression changed.

"Does Mr. Xu not do business? Does he not value integrity in his business?" Chen Yu sneered. "Everyone comes out here just to play. The rule I follow is to be willing to accept the loss of a bet. And I am a person who only recognizes one principle: if I lose, I accept it; if you lose, you must accept it."

"Your principle likely won't work here with Mr. Xu." Zhang Qiang said coldly. "Chen Yu, you aren't short of this bit of money, don't make things awkward over this bit of money."

"Of course I'm not short of this bit of money." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "But I said just now, I am a person who values principles. I can do without the money, but I can't guarantee that this matter won't get out later. When that time comes, the reputation damage will cost more than just this bit of money."

"Good, good." Guangtou Qiang suddenly laughed. He pointed at Chen Yu and said, "You've got guts. Someone, come and pack up the money, let Mr. Chen take it away."

Several underlings stepped forward and packed up the money into two suitcases. Then Guangtou Qiang laughed, "Mr. Chen, do you want to keep playing?"

"I'll come back another day." Chen Yu laughed, picked up the suitcases, and left the place with Zhang Yanxi.

"Damn it, he's an expert." Zhang Qiang said bitterly. "I didn't see it before."

"I truly underestimated this kid." Guangtou Qiang also had a gloomy face.

"Qiang Ge, are we just letting him go like this?" Zhang Qiang said somewhat unwillingly. "That's nearly two million."

"Let him go? Heh, my, Guangtou Qiang's, establishment—is it somewhere he can come and go as he pleases?" Guangtou Qiang grinned, and the expression on his face slowly turned gloomy. "Don't worry, if he can walk out of my establishment alive today, count me as having lost."
