Chapter 65

Ye Bufan thought to himself, no matter how capable Yang Ziqian might be, he is just an ordinary antique appraiser. How could he possibly recognize such a divine artifact?

If it weren't for obtaining the ancient medical lineage, he would probably have missed this great divine artifact as well.

He said, "It looks a lot like a treasure I remember, but it's just a guess right now. I need to see the actual item to be sure."

By the time he finished speaking, the two of them had already left the urban area of Jiangnan City and driven for about thirty kilometers before arriving at the Paradise Club.

This place was built by the Luo family. Legend has it that the club has everything you can imagine, and nothing you can't. It is truly a paradise for the rich, hence its name, Paradise Club.

The club is very large, covering several dozen acres, with over a dozen buildings of various sizes. The environment is beautiful and pleasant to the eye, making it very attractive.

At the entrance of the club, there were over a dozen tall and strong security guards. Unlike security guards in other places, these men were dressed in neatly pressed designer suits, standing tall and exuding a commanding presence.

Qin Chuchu drove up to the entrance, showed her membership card, and the bodyguards immediately let them through. The two of them entered the club and parked the car in the parking lot.

As soon as they got out of the car, a young man in his thirties walked over from a distance.

"Chuchu, you're here!"

When the young man saw Qin Chuchu, he smiled warmly, making him seem very approachable.

However, when he saw Qin Chuchu holding Ye Bufan's arm, a cold and vicious look flashed in his eyes, though his smile remained warm.

Ye Bufan, with his divine consciousness, keenly noticed the change in his eyes and immediately realized that this person was not someone to be trifled with.

In the past, the wealthy young masters he had encountered, whether it was Xiang Yuntian or Ma Wenbo, did not have deep scheming. Their emotional changes were clearly written on their faces.

But this guy was different. He was clearly a smiling tiger, extremely vicious.

Seeing this person, Qin Chuchu's expression changed slightly. She then said, "Luo Wentao, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Ye Bufan. This is the owner of Paradise Club, Luo Wentao."

Hearing Qin Chuchu formally acknowledge this person as her boyfriend, a hint of viciousness flashed in Luo Wentao's eyes again, but he smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, welcome to our Paradise Club."

Although he was very polite on the surface, this guy had already sentenced Ye Bufan to death in his heart.

He had always considered Qin Chuchu his exclusive possession, not allowing anyone to touch her. Anyone who violated this would face his fierce retaliation.

However, he was always very scheming, and his dirty deeds were unknown to the outside world.

Sensing the killing intent, Ye Bufan's lips curled into a cold smile. He merely nodded slightly at the other person without saying a word.

Qin Chuchu deeply disliked Luo Wentao's hypocrisy, but since the two families had many business dealings, she had to maintain a facade.

She said cheerfully, "Young Master Luo, do you have千里眼 (千里眼 means '千里 eye,' which is a term for someone with extraordinary vision, but it's not commonly used in English, so I'll translate it as 'clairvoyance')? How did you know I was here as soon as I arrived?"

"Of course, I have to personally welcome you, Chuchu. I've already instructed the security guards at the entrance to report to me immediately if they see your membership card."

Luo Wentao said, "You arrived a bit early. The auction still has some time to go. Why don't we go to Building 1 and play a few rounds, and then we can head over when the auction is ready."

Paradise Club has all kinds of facilities, and Building 1 is the most famous casino.

Qin Chuchu didn't want to be constantly watched by Luo Wentao, as it made her feel awkward. She leaned on Ye Bufan's shoulder, looking like a gentle and dependent woman, and said, "Xiao Fan, why don't we play a few rounds?"

Ye Bufan said indifferently, "Sure."

"Then I'll take you there."

Luo Wentao led the way, and the moment he turned around, his smile vanished, replaced by a vicious and cruel expression.

The intimacy between Qin Chuchu and Ye Bufan had deeply hurt him. He needed to find a way to take revenge on this young man, and luring them into the casino was part of his plan.

The casino was his domain, and here he was the king. He could make anyone win or lose as he pleased.

His goal was to drag Ye Bufan into the gambling world, make him lose everything, and even get him into high-interest loans. Then he would see how Ye Bufan could pursue Qin Chuchu.

The three of them soon arrived at Hall 1. As soon as they entered, a foul smell hit them.

The hall was packed with people, each of them smoking and excitedly gathered around the gambling tables, playing with great enthusiasm.

Amidst the crowd, scantily clad waitresses moved about, and beside them stood burly men in black suits.

Luo Wentao said, "It's too noisy here, and it doesn't match our status. Let's go to the VIP lounge on the second floor."

He led the two of them to the second floor, which was much quieter than the first. Although it was still full of gamblers, they were dressed in expensive clothing and behaved more reservedly.

Luo Wentao asked the two of them, "Chuchu, what would you like to play?"

Qin Chuchu said affectionately, "I'll follow Xiao Fan's lead."

"Let's just watch for now. This is my first time here, and I don't know how to play or the rules."

Indeed, his family's living conditions were not good, and due to Ouyang Lan's strict upbringing, he had never been to a casino. In college, he was busy working part-time to earn money and had never even touched a deck of cards.

Luo Wentao, whose goal was to drag Ye Bufan into the gambling world, couldn't let this opportunity pass. He said, "What's the point of coming to a casino without playing a few rounds? You should at least test your luck.

Here, I'll give you 200,000 chips. If you lose, it's on me, but if you win, it's all yours. Life is about trying new things."

He spoke sincerely and smiled warmly, but he had his own plans.

He had seen many people like Ye Bufan before. The less they had experienced gambling, the more they were drawn to the excitement. Once they were hooked, it was easy for them to get deeply involved.

If this person became a gambler and got into high-interest loans, he could manipulate him however he wanted.

Ye Bufan said calmly, "Mr. Luo, I appreciate your offer, but I'm not really interested in this."

Luo Wentao smiled slightly and said to Qin Chuchu, "Chuchu, Mr. Ye seems to be quite timid. Does he lack the courage to play a few rounds?"

This guy was very scheming. He knew that men valued their pride in front of women, so he chose to break through with Qin Chuchu.

Qin Chuchu, who had been to Paradise Club before but never to the casino, was very curious and eager to try. She said, "Xiao Fan, since we're here, why don't we play a few rounds?"

Ye Bufan couldn't miss Luo Wentao's intentions. A playful smile appeared on his lips. Since the other party insisted on giving him money, he couldn't refuse.

He said, "Since Mr. Luo insists, I'll give it a try."
