Chapter 43

Land God and Wang Bohua had not yet spoken when Ma Yingxiong spoke up first.

"Fatso, the others have already played a flush, why are you still trying to join in with your four sevens? Get lost, you’re just a bother."

"Hey, it’s not you who played the flush, why are you so excited? Besides, after a round of cards, shouldn’t we reveal all the cards to prevent cheating?"

"Hmph, do as you please, it’s just a waste of time!"

Ding Ning's cards were almost covered by the chips. Since Land God had played a flush, no matter what Ding Ning had, he would lose, so no one paid attention to the fact that his last card was still face down.

"Has anyone touched my cards?"

Ding Ning first asked the people around him.

"Open them quickly, I guarantee no one has touched your cards." Wang Bohua was also getting impatient.

"Land God, you didn’t touch my cards, right?" Ding Ning still asked Land God, not giving up.

"Rest assured, no one has touched this card." Land God, who was interrupted while collecting money, replied to Ding Ning with a bad temper.

"Alright, let me see what my last card is."

After confirming multiple times, Ding Ning slowly revealed his last card.

"Oh! There’s a ghost!"

Ding Ning suddenly shouted and threw the card down.

Everyone was stunned, and then they all widened their eyes when they saw the card.

It was clearly a joker, also known as the big king.

"Ha ha, I actually got a joker. Land God, I remember a joker can usually replace any suit and any card, right? So does that make my hand a four of a kind? If it’s a four of a kind, does that mean I beat your flush?"

Ding Ning asked Land God with a smug look.

Land God's face turned ashen. The appearance of the joker proved that the deck was not properly shuffled, and an extra joker was included, which meant the hand was invalid, and his flush didn’t count.

This wasn’t the first time a joker had been forgotten, in such cases, it would be considered a draw, with no winners or losers.

But this was a big game, and Land God had won over a hundred million. He couldn’t bear to call it a draw.

"Slam!"

Land God angrily slammed his hand on the table and roared at Ding Ning, "You cheated!"

"Land God, that’s not how it works. I just asked you and Mr. Wang, and both of you confirmed that no one touched my last card. How can you now say I cheated? Are your eyes blind?"

Land God was speechless, and Wang Bohua didn’t know how to interject.

The room fell silent for a moment, then Yue Ge'er spoke up.

"Since a joker appeared, shouldn’t this round be considered invalid?"

Her words broke the silence. Land God coughed and gave Ma Yingxiong a meaningful look.

Ma Yingxiong’s face turned extremely pale, and after hesitating, he stood up and said, "Actually, I secretly switched that joker for him."

"What? You switched it? Why?" Yue Ge'er looked at Ma Yingxiong in disbelief, unable to understand.

Ma Yingxiong, having spoken, decided to go all the way. "It’s nothing, I just didn’t like him. I switched a joker for him when everyone was throwing in chips. I just wanted to play a trick on him, but I didn’t expect this to happen. His last card was thrown to the ground by me, oh, it’s here."

He then crawled under the table and came out with a 5 of diamonds in his hand. "This is his card, he has four sevens and a 5."

Land God asked, "According to what you said, the hand is still valid, and our cards haven’t changed?"

"That’s right."

"Did you hear that, Miss Ge'er? The hand is still valid. If we say it, you might not believe it, but since the one saying it is from your side, you should believe it."

After Land God said this, Yue Ge'er understood.

It turned out that Ma Yingxiong was in cahoots with Land God. No wonder when she received a call from Yue Qing, Ma Yingxiong immediately volunteered to help. She wasn’t that close to him; she only knew he was good at gambling.

This was a setup, a trap set by them all, waiting for her to fall into it.

Her delicate body trembled, and Yue Ge'er looked at Ma Yingxiong, her usual calm demeanor replaced by intense anger.

"Brother Ma, I never thought you would be such a person."

Ma Yingxiong’s face was very ugly, and he tried to deflect, "Ge'er, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I did it all for you."

"Ha, Ge'er, are you really such a sore loser? The famous Yue family can’t even come up with this much money, it’s really laughable."

Land God mocked her, then roared, "Ma Yingxiong, you openly cheated at the table. I won’t tolerate it. Take this guy away and cut off the fingers he used to cheat!"

As Land God roared, two thugs came over and dragged Ma Yingxiong away.

Ding Ning saw clearly that Ma Yingxiong showed no fear as he was taken away, instead, he looked relieved, as if he had completed his mission.

"Collect the money!"

Land God was about to collect the chips, but Yue Ge'er coldly told Jiajia, "Jiajia, call the bank and cancel the two checks I just wrote. We can’t pay this unjust money."

"Nice try, but you’ll have to wait until after I’ve taken the money. Stop her."

The perfect setup was disrupted by Ding Ning, and Land God, seeing the situation getting out of control, immediately turned hostile.

There were still six or seven thugs in the room. As soon as they saw Jiajia take out her phone, they rushed over.

Jiajia, the female driver, saw the thugs coming and quickly moved forward, delivering two flying kicks that sent two of them flying.

Punches, high kicks, knee strikes! Jiajia’s continuous attacks left the thugs no chance to resist.

As the chairman of the Yue family, Yue Ge'er had come to Yue Family Manor with a bodyguard. Jiajia was her most loyal protector.

Seeing the fight start, Ding Ning immediately ran to the side.

Land God and Wang Bohua remained seated, and Wang Bohua told his sidekick, Ah Jie, "Ah Jie, go, we can’t let this woman get away with it."

Ah Jie nodded and, taking advantage of Jiajia’s flying kick, rushed forward with a side kick.

It was incredibly fast! Jiajia couldn’t dodge in time and had to cross her arms to protect her chest.

"Bang!"

Her body was kicked away, slamming into the wall. Jiajia’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but groan, having taken a hit.

"Jiajia, are you okay?"

Yue Ge'er’s face turned pale. Jiajia had grown up with her and was not only her bodyguard but also her sister.

"Miss, I’m fine. They have experts too. You should leave quickly, drive away."

Jiajia, though injured, still protected Yue Ge'er, her tone firm.

"No, I can’t leave alone. If we’re going, we’ll go together." Yue Ge'er’s eyes welled up with tears, refusing to leave alone.

"Ha ha ha! Since you’re here, you won’t leave so easily. Let me tell you, you can’t leave. The people downstairs have locked the doors. I want to see if Miss Ge'er dares to jump out the window!"

Land God laughed triumphantly. Ma Yingxiong and the others were waiting downstairs, and as soon as the doors were locked, there was no way the delicate Miss Yue could leave.

Jiajia clenched her fists, feeling extremely uneasy. Ah Jie was slowly approaching her. If it were a one-on-one fight, she was confident she could beat Ah Jie, but with so many thugs around, she had no way to protect Miss Yue in a chaotic fight.

Moreover, Land God and Wang Bohua were still sitting there, and these two old men were also putting immense pressure on her.

"It looks like I have to use my gun."

Jiajia’s hand moved to her waist, preparing for a final stand.
