If it weren't for this woman, Sister Ling probably wouldn't have been able to persuade Boss Du yesterday.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Du Hengyan felt a surge of happiness at this remark. (Yes, that's right, promote me and my wife like this!) He tightened his grip on the beautiful woman's hand and slightly tilted his head, speaking softly, "You see, I'm not just putting on a show for her; it's all for my lady. With the heavy rain and strong winds, if you catch a cold again, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to kneel on the keyboard here."
"Then kneel on durian," she teased back.
Chi Mu Jiu's lips curled into a smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "You’re just playing around and getting carried away; what a silly man."
Du Hengyan looked at her with affectionate eyes and reached out to ruffle her hair gently.
"Be gentle! I'm wearing a mask!" Chi Mu Jiu quickly shielded her mask with her hands, her tone playful yet slightly reproachful.
Ling Yun observed their interaction: (These two are so close it doesn’t even seem like an act.)
Upon arriving at the gambling venue, Chi Mu Jiu stood still and began to carefully observe the scene before her.
The contrast between the dark gambling hall and the luxurious hotel across the street was even more pronounced now. The hotel’s empty balconies and the rooftop were filled with various spectators. They either chatted excitedly or nervously watched the happenings below, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere.
Between the two buildings stood an enormous display screen. Rather than being an ordinary screen, it resembled a multi-panel setup that provided comprehensive real-time monitoring without any blind spots. Each small panel clearly showcased an ongoing gambling game. Some displayed fierce competition at the main gambling table, while others captured the entire gambling room in one glance.
Through these real-time monitoring images, Chi Mu Jiu began to understand that what was offered here was far more than just traditional card games.
Just then, Ling Yun spoke up:
Boss Du, this year's rules for the gambling competition involve stone betting. We have arranged a seat for you at the very top of the stone betting area.
As Ling Yun's words fell, the elevator doors emitted a crisp sound.
What greeted their eyes was a luxurious semicircular hall, exquisitely designed and grand in atmosphere. In the center of the hall, a display platform held a row of jade stones that looked just like ordinary rocks. These jade stones lay quietly, waiting for people to unveil their mysterious veils.
Above the hall was a series of transparent floor-to-ceiling windows leading to private gambling rooms.
Boss Du, this level is specially prepared for distinguished individuals like yourself; please, make yourself comfortable.
Ling Yun spoke respectfully and then led the two into the gambling room. In front of the large floor-to-ceiling window was a spacious sofa.
Chi Mu Jiu gazed at the scene, feeling an odd sense of familiarity with the design. At the yacht auction, she and Du Heng Yan had also sat in the central position with similar floor-to-ceiling windows. Back then, they witnessed an intense auction together, and now they were facing an unknown challenge here once again.
Please take your seat; the stone betting competition will begin shortly. I will be at the door; feel free to call on me at any time.
Du Heng Yan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, prompting Ling Yun to exit the room.
As the door closed with a soft click, it seemed to completely isolate the outside world from within. Chi Mu Jiu's gaze returned to focus on the thrilling and unpredictable gambling venue before her.
However, at that moment, she noticed that this glass window was just an ordinary bulletproof pane, lacking any privacy design; people inside and outside could see each other clearly.
At this moment, she caught sight of a neighboring gambler in the semicircular room. A foreign man with a stern face and fierce demeanor sat there, as immovable as a mountain. His deep-set eyes exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one’s spine; his tightly pressed lips hinted at a barely perceptible sly smile, as if he understood everything happening around him.
If Du Heng Yan's aura was cold and forbidding, then the foreigner in the adjacent room radiated an overwhelming sense of menace.
Chi Mu Jiu quickly withdrew her gaze after just one glance; she leaned closer to Du Heng Yan, feeling somewhat frightened.
That person next to you looks even more intimidating than you do.
