Guan Xi looked at Xiao Jingming's shocked expression and shrugged. "Let's continue."
After winning one round, the win-loss ratio was 1:1.50.
20,000. If they won, it would be 30,000.
Guan Xi threw in another 40,000 and placed a bet on small.
When the dice rolled, it was small again.
This went on and on. At first, Xiao Jingming was surprised, but by the fifth round, he had already gotten used to it.
If the probability of winning was one in two, starting from the eighth round, it would be 100% for Gu Wenxi.
...
INSIDE THE MONITORING ROOM OF THE CASINO.
"Who is that woman?"
A tall man in a windbreaker held a tall glass elegantly with his slender fingers, gently shaking the blood-red liquid inside it.
He stood in front of the monitoring room, and his eyes fell on Guan Xi, who was gambling on the twelfth round.
He exuded a cold and dangerous aura.
The manager followed the boss' stare and shook his head. "I've never seen this woman before. It seems to be her first time here." He looked at the monitor again and studied it carefully. "But I recognize the man behind her. He seems to be... Young Master Xiao Jingming!"
"A member of the Xiao family?" The man curled his lips and revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "Really? Go and find out who that woman is."
"Yes, boss."
The manager felt himself shiver at the cruel smile on the boss' face so he hurriedly agreed.
He looked at the monitor a few more times but he still couldn't find anything special about the woman other than she was very sexy and charming.
He was wondering if the boss had simply taken a fancy to this woman.
Cautiously, the manager asked, "Boss, why do you want to investigate this lady?"
"She's not a simple woman."
If it came from any other person, it would've been a compliment. Coming from the scary boss, however, it sounded so... sinister.
'Not a simple woman?'
The manager looked at the feed again, still not seeing anything.
However, if the boss wanted something done, he had no choice but to obey.
The boss took a sip of the liquor in his glass.
Honestly, they looked completely different.
However, there was something about this woman that reminded him of that monster.
The Akira family's strongest guardian.
...
"Did we really win?"
Carrying a bag full of money, Xiao Jingming followed his aunt out of the casino as if he was in a trance.
He came here with twenty bundles of money and he was leaving with more than seventy bundles.
Of course, as the young master of the Xiao family, he didn't really care about such a small amount of money.
What surprised him was how Gu Wenxi won it all.
It was as if she was sure what was going to happen.
...
"Little nephew, this 300,000 yuan is yours."
When she borrowed the money, she had promised that she would give him an interest of 100,000 yuan.
She would take the remaining 500,000 yuan herself.
Xiao Jingming threw the 300,000 yuan that she had given him to the back seat of the car and said, "Little Auntie, how do you know whether it will be big or small?"
She smiled mischievously and said, "It's a secret."
Xiao Jingming wanted to roll his eyes.
He continued, "Then why do you need this money? You know you could've just asked Uncle Jiu for the money, right?"
There was no way that she would tell him why she needed the money.
She blinked her beautiful big eyes and turned on her charm.
"No way. Although Master Jiu is very rich, I want to be an independent woman. I don't want to be taken care of by him. If possible, I actually want to take care of him in the future."
It was a little exciting to think of a man who could take care of himself.
Especially a noble man like Xiao Jiuyan.
Well, at least he could be her goal!
Xiao Jingming was perplexed.
That was a great but impossible dream.
He figured that she probably didn't know the entirety of his uncle's wealth. If she did, she wouldn't dare say such things.
