"Consider yourself lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!" He Liang's face was somewhat gloomy. This hand of cards made Chen Dasheng embarrass him, and he was very angry.

"We'll see about that!" Chen Dasheng's lips curled slightly. The angrier He Liang became, the happier Chen Dasheng felt.

In this hand, Chen Dasheng won 40,000 yuan. Adding the original 40,000, Chen Dasheng now had over 80,000 on the table. Although he still owed nearly 20,000, Chen Dasheng was now 100% confident that he could win the remaining 100,000 from He Liang.

From this hand, Chen Dasheng could tell that He Liang was not capable of remembering every card, while he could. He Liang's cards were never out of his sight. From now on, this gambling table belonged to him alone.

When Li Fatso placed the 80,000 yuan in front of Chen Dasheng, Liu Yunshi finally came to her senses. She was so excited that she almost rushed over to hug and kiss Chen Dasheng, seemingly forgetting that he had just sold her.

"Deal the cards!"

He Liang frowned and waved at Li Fatso. Li Fatso took a deep breath and began to shuffle and deal the cards again. Clearly, he thought Chen Dasheng was just a lucky cat who happened to win this hand. After all, He Liang was a well-known professional gambler, and how could a young upstart like Chen Dasheng be his match?

In the next few hands, the situation completely favored Chen Dasheng. Although there were wins and losses, the losses were very few.

Chen Dasheng could remember every card, but the cut was not always his turn. After a few rounds, Chen Dasheng had 150,000 on the table.

At this point, Chen Dasheng crossed his legs, looking rather smug. Liu Yunshi, standing behind him, no longer showed any fear. Instead, her face was filled with joy and excitement, and she even started to massage Chen Dasheng's shoulders.

"Brother Liang, why don't we call it a day?" Guo Hui saw that Chen Dasheng had won back over 150,000. After deducting the 50,000 he had lost and the 100,000 from selling Liu Yunshi, he still had a bit of profit, so he wanted to quit while ahead.

"Get lost!"

He Liang glared at Guo Hui. To him, this amount of money was nothing, but as a professional gambler, he could not tolerate losing to an unknown young upstart. Guo Hui was intimidated by He Liang's fierce gaze and immediately swallowed his words, slinking away to the side.

"Deal the cards!" He Liang gritted out a few words, his eyes fixed on Chen Dasheng without a moment's break.

In the past few hands, he had noticed a pattern. While he was trying to remember the cards, the young man across from him was also staring intently at the cards in Li Fatso's hands.

Could he be remembering the cards too? This thought crossed He Liang's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. As a professional gambler, he had practiced remembering cards for over 30 years and could barely remember 20 cards. For Chen Dasheng to keep winning, it had to be luck, or his card-remembering ability must have exceeded his own.

A young man in his early twenties, without systematic training, could have a card-remembering ability that surpassed a professional gambler with decades of experience? Was that possible?

Li Fatso wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to shuffle the cards with trembling hands. This time, it was Chen Dasheng's turn to cut the cards.

He Liang took his three cards and carefully flipped them over one by one.

The first card was a K, the second card was a K, and the third card was also a K!

Although he had expected it, He Liang was still shocked by this hand. It wasn't excitement, but rather a heavy feeling.

Three Kings, a very strong hand! He Liang covered his cards and looked up at Chen Dasheng, who was not looking at his cards but smiling at him.

For a moment, He Liang, holding three Kings, felt a bit uneasy. What did this kid mean? Could he have three Aces?

Chen Dasheng could only remember one of his three cards, which was a spade Ace. The possibility of having three Aces was extremely low, but it was still possible.

"What, you're not looking at your cards?" He Liang asked.

Chen Dasheng's lips curved into a smile. "It's none of your business whether I look or not. It's your turn to speak!"

"Hmph!" He Liang sneered. Chen Dasheng's arrogance had successfully enraged him. He glared at Chen Dasheng and said with a forced smile, "Why don't we go all in this time, one hand to decide the winner?"

"Ha ha!" Chen Dasheng laughed. "I have 150,000 on the table, and you only have less than 50,000. Plus, I have the hidden cards, and you have the open cards, so you have to double your bet! It's not a good deal for me to go all in!"

"Kid, don't push your luck!" Ah Hu and Ah Biao, sensing that He Liang might have met his match, started to curse at Chen Dasheng.

He Liang raised his hand to stop Ah Biao and pulled out a card from his bag, throwing it on the table. "This is a platinum card from Rongcheng Bank, with 250,000 inside. Add the 50,000 on the table and the 50,000 Guo Hui owes me, that's 350,000 in total. I'm in!"

He Liang's eyes glared at Chen Dasheng like a tiger, as if ready to pounce. Chen Dasheng picked up the card and saw that it was indeed a platinum card from Rongcheng Bank, which required a deposit of over 200,000 to obtain. Chen Dasheng had only dreamed of such a card, but now he was holding the real thing.

"Fine, let's go all in!" Chen Dasheng didn't care if the card had 250,000 or not and immediately agreed to He Liang's proposal.

"Hmph!" He Liang, hearing Chen Dasheng's agreement, immediately flipped his cards and slammed them on the table, shouting at Chen Dasheng, "I don't believe you have three Aces!"

He Liang was completely enraged, his bald forehead sweating. There was no reason for him to lose to this young upstart.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on He Liang's cards, which were three Kings, another strong hand.

"Whoa!"

Liu Yunshi was startled. Her hands, which were massaging Chen Dasheng, unconsciously tightened, making Chen Dasheng gasp.

Everyone was stunned. Three Kings, He Liang had such a strong hand. For Chen Dasheng to win, he would need three Aces, but the odds of that were as low as winning the lottery.

"Why didn't you look at your cards when I told you to?" Liu Yunshi was almost in tears, seeing that they had already won, but now they might lose it all. How could her life be so hard?

Chen Dasheng ignored Liu Yunshi, his lips curling slightly as he slowly stood up, looking directly at He Liang. "Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it's impossible. I'm sorry to tell you, but I do have three Aces!"

Slap!

He Liang flipped his cards, and everyone was shocked into silence. Three Aces, a sight that made everyone's eyes widen.

Everyone rubbed their eyes, as if in a dream. It was a showdown, three Kings against three Aces. The cards today were truly bizarre!

"Yay!"

Liu Yunshi jumped up in surprise. "We won! Three Aces, really three Aces, Chen Dasheng, we won!"

"Hey, can you be a bit more low-key?" Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes at Liu Yunshi's excited shouting.

"How is this possible?"

He Liang slumped in his seat, his eyes filled with defeat and disbelief.

"Kid, you cheated!"

Suddenly, He Liang shouted, his anger and shame causing him to pull out a gun from his waist and point it directly at Chen Dasheng's forehead, his finger on the trigger.

He Liang had seen Chen Dasheng's hidden cards after he had already looked at his own. Before that, Chen Dasheng had not looked at his cards. After seeing He Liang's three Kings, Chen Dasheng showed no panic, meaning he had known from the start that he had three Aces, a sure win against He Liang.

This meant that Chen Dasheng, the young upstart, might have a higher level of card skills than He Liang, which he could not tolerate. His narrow-mindedness would not allow such a person to exist.

"Ah!"

Seeing He Liang pull out a gun, everyone screamed in shock. Liu Yunshi's face turned pale, and she instinctively used her handbag to shield herself.

Chen Dasheng had been wary of He Liang, but he did not expect him to suddenly go berserk and pull out a gun so quickly. The moment the gun was pointed at him, a sense of extreme danger washed over Chen Dasheng. His sixth sense told him that He Liang would not hesitate to pull the trigger.

"Hmph!"

In a split second, Chen Dasheng coldly hummed and grabbed a card from the table, flicking it out with a swift motion.

"Bang!"

The card flew like a knife, striking the gun in He Liang's hand. Chen Dasheng's strength was immense, and the card, though not as powerful as a bullet, was still formidable.

He Liang felt a violent jolt in his gun, which immediately exploded, sending parts flying everywhere, and his hand went numb.

"Ah!"

Liu Yunshi thought the loud noise was from He Liang firing the gun and screamed in terror.

Silence! Dead silence!

Liu Yunshi slowly lowered her handbag, squinting, not wanting to see the blood splattered on Chen Dasheng's head.

"You, you're not dead!"

Seeing Chen Dasheng sitting unharmed in his seat, Liu Yunshi's worry and fear instantly turned into surprise and confusion.
