That man, from start to finish, he gambled not on card skills, but on psychological tactics!
He bet on the fact that he didn't have his audacity, didn't have the courage to put himself in a life-and-death situation!
...
Liang Chen casually guided Jing Haohao out of the casino and flagged down a taxi on the street.
Liang Chen, the gentleman, opened the car door for Jing Haohao. It was only then that she came to her senses, realizing she had walked away unscathed from Mr. Suzuki's hands. The composure she had been maintaining shattered at that moment; her steps towards the taxi became weak, and she nearly tumbled onto the ground. Thankfully, Liang Chen was quick and managed to steady Jing Haohao.
Jing Haohao got into the taxi without uttering a single word the whole time.
Only when Liang Chen asked if she had booked a hotel did she give a slight nod.
Liang Chen asked for the name of the hotel again, only then did Jing Haohao speak, giving the driver the address.
