The air was thick with a suffocating silence. Du Hengyan's previously calm face now appeared as if shrouded in frost, his expression visibly turning colder.
His thin lips pressed tightly together, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly, betraying his inner displeasure and ruthlessness. The car door closed, cutting off the real-time updates from the phone inside.
Du Hengyan narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flickering within them.
"You just said he brought help?"
His voice was low and icy, sending chills down the spines of those nearby. A few subordinates felt an overwhelming pressure wash over them, involuntarily shivering in fear.
"Yes, boss."
Upon receiving the confirmation, Du Hengyan let out a cold laugh.
"Good, interesting. Tell the brothers to stay sharp; my time is precious."
He strode confidently through the entrance of the casino, with his subordinates following closely behind him in unison.
The elevator ascended slowly, finally stopping at their designated floor.
Inside the luxurious gaming room, dazzling lights illuminated a grand, antique wooden table at the center. On the table lay two unopened decks of playing cards, seemingly waiting for a thrilling showdown.
Chi Mu Jiu slightly turned her head, feeling a twinge of nervousness in her heart.
"So, your gambling opponent is the owner of this casino?"
She lowered her voice and quietly asked Pei Si, who sat beside her. After all, the situation was tense and precarious; if Pei Si continued to keep things from her, it would be truly unacceptable.
Miss Chi was perceptive.
Pei Si's words were straightforward and clear, evidently revealing the truth to Chi Mu Jiu. Yet inside, she couldn't help but curse silently.
"No way! Big brother! You come onto someone else's turf and declare you want to gamble with their boss—where do you get that confidence?"
"What is your goal? What are the stakes of this gamble?"
Chi Mu Jiu steadied herself, knowing that now was not the time for complaints. Before her opponent arrived, she needed to extract as much information as possible to prepare for the upcoming game.
"That's a long story. Miss Chi, you should focus on the cards," Pei Si replied, his tone slightly colder, clearly unwilling to discuss the matter further.
Seeing his reaction, Chi Mu Jiu understood much of what was at stake. There must be a huge secret hidden behind this gamble.
A sense of helplessness and determination filled her heart. She knew that the outcome of this game could very well determine her fate, but she had no other choice. After all, she had come here prepared for death.
"I know what you're thinking, Miss Chi. If this gamble goes awry because of you, we’ll both be in serious trouble," Pei Si said, his blue eyes glinting with a chilling light that sent shivers down her spine. The bodyguards following him were already on high alert, watching everything around them with vigilance.
In that moment, Chi Mu Jiu felt an immense pressure. "Are you so sure I can win?"
Her beautiful eyes behind the mask were filled with doubt as they locked onto Pei Si's gaze.
He fell silent, a flicker of hesitation crossing his expression. Indeed, he wasn't certain whether Chi Mu Jiu could win. Before reaching an agreement for this gamble, he had spent an entire month and a considerable sum to acquire this information from the owner of an underground casino in another country.
Years ago, a Chinese girl had come here and won billions.
