Li Longji and Tang Yu began to gamble heavily. Tang Yu had the ability to see through things, firmly controlling Li Longji in his palm. Although he didn't guess correctly every time, that was just to let the water flow and avoid arousing suspicion. There were even a few times when the numbers he guessed were off by more than five points. But the overall situation was still firmly in Tang Yu's control.
In this back-and-forth, it wasn't long before the 500,000 chips in Li Longji's hand were all lost.
"Bang!" Li Longji slammed the table hard, glaring at Tang Yu. "I'll call someone to bring me more money, and we'll keep gambling!" Li Longji, red-eyed from losing, stared at Tang Yu with wide eyes.
Tang Yu smiled wickedly at the corner of his mouth. "If you don't have money, then don't gamble. I don't have time to waste here. I've won enough today to last me a while. Let's go." Tang Yu stood up, walked to Xia Shihan's side, and wrapped his arm around her delicate shoulders.
"You..." Xia Shihan let out a light hum, but she didn't want Li Yunting to hear. She raised her pretty face and glared fiercely at Tang Yu. With Li Yunting and Li Longji around, she could only endure it.
Tang Yu thought that, including the 310,000 he had won from Yao Wenhong earlier, he had a total of 810,000, which was already quite a lot. He didn't want to win too much at once, to avoid drawing attention. Losing too much money was bad, but winning too much could also be fatal. Knowing when to stop was the best strategy. Moreover, Tang Yu had to make some plans for this money, at least to ensure that Wu Xiuhua didn't know it was from gambling.
"Wait!" Li Longji, however, was not willing to let it go and shouted loudly from behind.
Tang Yu, who was about to leave, suddenly paused and turned back, giving Li Longji a cold glance. "I said I'm not waiting for you."
"I won't have someone bring me money, but this gold watch of mine is worth over a million. I'll count it as 500,000 and gamble with you!" Li Longji took off the golden watch from his wrist, which was entirely made of real gold and extremely luxurious. It made everyone's eyes shine and hearts race.
But Tang Yu was indifferent. "What do I need that broken watch for? It will just get stolen! Fine, if you want to gamble with me, I'll play with you, but not with the broken watch, with her!"
Tang Yu stretched out his hand forcefully and pointed at Li Yunting.
"Ah!" Li Yunting was shocked and looked at Tang Yu's angry face. What did he want to do?
"You little punk, you're asking for death!" Yao Wenhong, seeing that Li Longji had also lost everything to Tang Yu, was still in shock. He didn't expect Tang Yu to want Li Yunting as the stake. If Li Longji lost again, Li Yunting would become Tang Yu's. What would happen to him then? "Uncle, this guy is crazy. Don't listen to him. It's just 500,000, I'll have my dad transfer a million to your account tomorrow!" Yao Wenhong said directly.
"Fine, I'll gamble with you! How much do you want to count my daughter as?" To everyone's surprise, Li Longji ignored Yao Wenhong and immediately agreed, looking at Tang Yu and saying coldly.
"Dad!" Li Yunting was in a flurry of emotions, not expecting Li Longji to agree so quickly.
But at this moment, she had a bit of侥幸心理 (侥幸心理 means a侥幸心理 of侥幸). While she was blaming Li Longji, deep down she was willing to be the stake. Since Tang Yu wanted her as the stake, it meant he still had feelings for her. If he won, she could be with him again. Although Xia Shihan was now in the middle, she didn't mind sharing Tang Yu with Xia Shihan. She had already missed Tang Yu once and couldn't miss him again. Sharing Tang Yu with Xia Shihan might be a punishment for her, but she was willing to accept it. Although she didn't know if Xia Shihan would agree, she didn't want to be separated from Tang Yu anymore!
"500,000!" Tang Yu glanced at Li Yunting wickedly and blurted out.
"What! My daughter is only worth 500,000 to you! One million!" Li Longji glared at Tang Yu angrily. He wanted to get more stakes to win back what he had lost. Gamblers who were in a frenzy would do anything to win back their losses.
"Hmph, one million? In your eyes, your daughter is only worth that much. How about this, I have over 900,000 now. We'll have one final round, and we'll count her as 900,000. She will roll the dice, and we'll guess. The one who gets closest to the number wins!" Tang Yu pointed to the dealer and said to Li Yunting.
"Fine, as you say, one final round! 900,000 it is. My dear daughter, don't worry, I won't lose you!" Li Longji said. He firmly believed he couldn't lose today. He had already lost so much, and his luck would surely turn. Gambling was all about luck and a firm belief.
Li Yunting, however, glared angrily at Li Longji, not expecting him to use her as a stake. What made her even angrier was that they were discussing how much she was worth.
At this moment, Xia Shihan felt a faint pain in her heart. Tang Yu specifically wanted Li Yunting as the stake, which meant he still liked Li Yunting and wanted to be with her. If he won this time, they would definitely reconcile.
"They are a golden couple. If they reconcile, I should be happy for them. Why would I be sad?" Xia Shihan thought strangely, and her mind also thought of Tang Chao's universe, which made her feel much better. She was still certain that the person she liked was Tang Chao's universe, not Tang Yu.
Guo Xiaodong, Zhang Jing, and Zhao Ling were also nervous. This was the final round, and if they lost, all their efforts would be in vain. But Guo Xiaodong wasn't as nervous. He had only brought 100,000 to let Tang Yu practice his luck, and losing it was fine. He didn't expect Tang Yu to win over 800,000. Even if he lost again, it wouldn't be a big deal, though it was a bit of a pity.
The dealer, hearing Tang Yu's instructions, took the dice shaker and looked at Tang Yu and Li Longji. "How long should I shake?"
She was a professional here and knew the details. The length of time for shaking could be unfair to some people, as some professionals could guess the number from the sound. Of course, Li Longji wasn't at that level. Although he had studied for a long time, he had never guessed correctly a few times.
"Whatever." Tang Yu said indifferently.
"A bit longer." Li Longji said. When gambling with Tang Yu earlier, Tang Yu had only shaken once and then put it down, making it impossible for him to judge the range of numbers. This time, with his daughter at stake, he couldn't be too careless.
"Fine. Two minutes then." The dealer gestured to both of them. Two minutes was a relatively long time. The dealer also knew the importance of this final round for both sides.
"Clack, clack, clack..." The dealer then started to shake the dice...
