Boom!

It wasn’t until this moment that the others present finally reacted.

“Three, four, six!”

“It’s actually really three, four, six—”

Xiao Ruize had actually guessed correctly!!!

How much is 1.5 million multiplied by 150?

225 million!

Everyone’s eyes turned red with envy!

The focus now was no longer on whether Xiao Ruize was addicted to gambling or not.

It was that Xiao Ruize had won 225 million in one go.

What kind of concept is 225 million?

You could buy 225 cars worth a million each.

You could buy two mansions worth 112.5 million each.

Although netizens often boast about earning millions annually, in reality, 90% of people in Hua Country might not be able to afford a house even if they work hard their whole lives.

99% of companies in Hua Country most of the time cannot produce 200 million in liquid capital.

The vast majority of people present did not have a net worth exceeding 200 million—

Someone immediately regretted: “If I had known this, I should have placed a small bet with him just now…”

Even if they had only bet a few tens of thousands, they could have won several million.

Ao Ruize’s fair-weather friends also reacted.

“Holy crap.”

“Young Master Hai, you actually guessed right.”

“Winning over two hundred million in one hand, Young Master Hai is awesome!”

“I’m jealous too.”

“Me too.”

…

The milk dumpling finally reacted as well: “225 million, you won 225 million in one go?”

Does that mean they have raised their initial startup capital just like that?

Has their plan succeeded by a small half already?

Didn’t they say missions in any world are difficult to complete?

The milk dumpling was dumbfounded.

“Wait—”

The milk dumpling suddenly lost its voice: “This is a casino, one of the darkest places in society—”

“You won so much money at once, will the casino let you take the money away safely?”

Ao Ruize only said: “They aren’t that stupid.”

As he spoke, he posted a message on a virtual currency forum offering to buy Bibi Coins.

Milk Dumpling: “…”

Ao Ruize seemed to be calling it stupid.

Then it reacted again: “Oh right, you are the crown prince of the Xiao family. Unless the casino is crazy, they wouldn’t dare touch you on Qian City’s turf.”

Ao Ruize: “More than just that—”

Just then, the clubhouse manager, having received the dealer’s report, walked over quickly.

One could imagine how ugly his expression was.

Because Huangming’s annual net profit was only about two hundred million—

But with this incident today, not only did they work for nothing this year, but they also had to pay an extra 25 million out of their own pockets.

According to casino customs, when encountering such a situation, the first thing is definitely to invite the winner into a reception room, investigate if they cheated, and then make plans.

Of course, even if the other party didn’t cheat, the investigation result would still say they did.

So there would only be one outcome.

But their gambling hall was not an ordinary casino.

Ao Ruize was also different from other ordinary guests.

The Xiao family possessed tens of billions in assets. Just thinking about it, one would know that Ao Ruize had no need to come to their gambling hall to cheat for money.

Most importantly, there were so many other guests watching—Huangming was a high-end clubhouse. Most of the guests who could become members and enter here were either rich or noble.

If they dared to invite Ao Ruize into the reception room now, Huangming could forget about establishing itself in Qian City tomorrow.

So what could they do?

They could only pretend they spent over two hundred million on a publicity stunt—at least after this news spread, everyone would know their gambling hall was truly clean, and there should be many more guests coming to their clubhouse to play.

So as he walked up to Ao Ruize, he made a decision.

A smile instantly appeared on his face: “Hello, Young Master Hai. Your luck today is truly enviable.”

“It’s just that the amount you won is relatively large, so could you give us an hour? After an hour, we guarantee to transfer that money to your account in full.”

“Huangming Clubhouse is indeed generous.”

Ao Ruize smiled with satisfaction. As for a guilty conscience, there was none.

After all, he saw the points of the dice in the dice cup with his own ability.

Then he turned directly to his fair-weather friends: “I said just one more game, and it really was just one more game. Now that it’s done, let’s go!”

At that time, Lin Gaolang was accompanying a young man into the Huangming Clubhouse with his entourage.

Without needing Lin Gaolang to speak, his cousin Sun Xuebo introduced the place to the young man beside him.

“Huangming is considered the most fun place in our Qian City. There’s a golf course, shooting range, racing track, hot springs, steam room, KTV, bars, and everything. It depends on what Mr. Zhong wants to play?”

The reason Sun Xuebo was so polite was that this Mr. Zhong Chi had quite a background.

Zhong Chi’s family had been the Jade Kings of the Southwest for three generations, and the Chi family controlled the largest jewelry company in Hua Country.

Zhong Chi was the only junior of both families, and his net worth combined would only be more than, not less than, the Lin and Xiao families of Qian City.

Most importantly, Zhong Chi was the person Lin Gaolang was pursuing after breaking off his engagement with Le Zhan, and Zhong Chi seemed to have intentions in this regard as well.

Logically speaking, as the only junior of the Zhong and Chi families, Zhong Chi bore the heavy responsibility of carrying on the lineage of both families. The two families would never allow Zhong Chi to like men, let alone marry a man.

But Zhong Chi was capable himself. He started playing with jade as soon as he learned to walk. Ordinary people gambling on stones would lose nine out of ten times, but for him, he would lose at most three times out of ten. If not for his father having just become the Southwest Jade King not long ago, this honor would have probably fallen on his head long ago, not to mention he had gambled out sky-high priced jade several times to save the Zhong family from crises.

In Sun Xuebo’s eyes, this Mr. Zhong was a hundred times better than Le Zhan, Lin Gaolang’s restless ex-fiancé.

However, before Zhong Chi could reply, they heard the voices of several guests nearby.

“Have you heard? That Young Master Hai from the Xiao family seems to have gotten addicted to gambling.”

“What?”

“He’s in the gambling hall on the third floor right now. I heard he has already lost over seven million and still wants to gamble.”

“Let’s go take a look.”

Hearing this, Sun Xuebo laughed immediately: “Tsk, Xiao Ruize really is a pile of mud that can’t be plastered onto a wall.”

“It’s one thing to play a good hand of cards so poorly, but now he’s actually willing to degenerate and go gambling.”

“What a waste of his good background.”

A hint of mockery also rose in Lin Gaolang’s eyes.

Then, as if thinking of something, he suppressed the expression in his eyes the next second and scolded with a frown: “Enough!”

Immediately after, he took out his phone, called Old Master Xiao, and told him what happened here.

Then he turned his head.

Meeting Zhong Chi’s surprised gaze, he only said: “That Xiao Ruize from the Xiao family, do you know him?”

Zhong Chi nodded.

Qian City’s First Hedonist, who hasn’t heard of him?

But aren’t the Lin and Xiao families arch-rivals?

Yet now that Xiao Ruize is addicted to gambling, Lin Gaolang not only didn’t gloat but chose to warn the Xiao family instead.

Lin Gaolang explained: “Although the Lin and Xiao families are competitors, in a sense, we are also friends who motivate each other. After all, without the Xiao family’s aggressive pressure, the Lin family wouldn’t have reached its current height.”

“Xiao Ruize… is indeed a bit disappointing, so if we can help the Xiao family a little, we should.”

Hearing this, a hint of a smile rose in Zhong Chi’s eyes.

He appreciated Lin Gaolang even more. At least in terms of vision and magnanimity, he was far broader than others.

Although he didn’t know why, he always felt something was a bit off.

And it seemed to be just a bit more appreciation, without generating any other feelings.

Maybe because they had just started interacting and weren’t familiar yet.

He thought.

Little did he know that noticing the change in his expression, the smile in Lin Gaolang’s heart also grew.

This was exactly what he wanted.

Sun Xuebo reacted immediately, put on an embarrassed smile, and stopped talking.

But unexpectedly, just at this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly came from not far away.

“Winning over two hundred million in one go, Young Master Hai is awesome.”

“Young Master Hai, you have to treat us to a good meal.”

It was Ao Ruize and his fair-weather friends.

They happened to come down from upstairs.

Ao Ruize, leading the group, said nonchalantly: “Easy.”

“Didn’t you want to go surfing?”

“Forget about today, it’s getting late.”

“Tomorrow, Wangjiaqiao Pier, my treat!”

His fair-weather friends immediately cheered loudly:

“Young Master Hai is generous!”

“Young Master Hai is mighty!”

The next second, they also saw Lin Gaolang and the others below.

They quieted down instantly.

Again, the Xiao and Lin families were arch-rivals.

The expression on Lin Gaolang’s face froze directly.

He had just used Xiao Ruize’s gambling addiction, which would likely implicate the Xiao family in the future, as an excuse to make a point. The next moment, Xiao Ruize won over two hundred million and left the gambling hall directly—

What does this mean?

This means he wasn’t addicted to gambling at all; otherwise, how could he leave directly after winning once?

So if this isn’t a slap in his face, implying he is self-righteous and meddlesome, what is it?

Looking back at Ao Ruize’s side.

Wait—

Lin Gaolang?

As if thinking of something, the milk dumpling suddenly burned its spiritual power, climbed out of Ao Ruize’s sea of consciousness with difficulty, lay on top of his head, stuck its head out, pricked up its ears, and looked at Lin Gaolang.

Immediately after, before Ao Ruize could react, its exclamation rang out: “Wow, Lin Gaolang is really going bald!!!”

Ao Ruize, watching it burn more than half of its spiritual power instantly: “…”

So much so that he subconsciously looked at Lin Gaolang a few more times.

Then Ao Ruize reacted.

Who was the one just now, when mentioning making money by salvaging sunken ships, had teary eyes worrying that excessive consumption of spiritual power would lead to direct paralysis?

And he actually felt compassion at that time!!

However, the next second, the milk dumpling’s gaze was attracted by the young man beside Lin Gaolang: “Eh—”

Ao Ruize looked over following its gaze.

The young man had a slender figure and wore a decent suit. Perhaps because the air conditioning was on in the clubhouse, he took off his jacket and held it in his hand. Even so, the buttons of his white shirt were buttoned meticulously to the top.

Looking up further, his eyes were clear, the bridge of his nose straight, and his lips crimson. The light pouring on him couldn’t obscure his inherent nobility even by a bit. Instead, it complemented the gentle temperament radiating from within him, making him exceptionally eye-catching.

This scene and situation were just like every time they had met before.

Ao Ruize didn’t expect to meet the Heavenly Palace’s Dao Lord Yuanjing in this small world.

However, the other party’s memory was obviously still sealed.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have frowned directly upon seeing him.

—Under normal circumstances, Zhong Chi certainly wouldn’t behave so rudely.

In fact, he was originally somewhat curious about Xiao Ruize, curious about how he managed to win over two hundred million in one go.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Ao Ruize came down, he started staring at Lin Gaolang relentlessly.

For no reason, a sense of wariness suddenly rose in his heart.

Especially after seeing Ao Ruize’s shirt with two buttons undone, almost revealing his wheat-colored chest muscles—

(Dao Lord: Is he trying to snatch my husband from me?)
