Chapter 147: Putting Up An Act

Luring me with bait to land a critical hit on me? Yang Ming saw through their plan. He didn’t know when they would raise it to one hundred yuan. Hence, he simply said it boldly, “Ten yuan is too little. How about one hundred yuan?”

Wang Zhitao and company were all surprised by what Yang Ming said. But, smiles quickly surfaced in their expressions. It seems that he had been blinded by victory. He thought he has the blessing of fortune god. After a few rounds of winning, he lost all his sense!

But in this way, the motion of the event went along with Wang Zhitao intention. Originally, he wanted to have a few more rounds before raising the bet. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to suggest it first!

“Alright, let’s follow. One hundred and so be it!” Chen Afu said it immediately because he was afraid that Yang Ming might back out later. After he finished his sentence, he felt something wasn’t quite right. How can I be representative of others? Hence, he asked hypocritically, “Class monitor, do you have any problem with that?”

“I am fine. Since everyone is in the mood, let’s have fun!” Wang Zhi Tao laughed as he nodded.

“Yang Ming, what are you guys doing?” Chen Mengyan and Zhao Sisi were fishing for a while but it wasn’t fruitful. Hence, they decided to call it off. At the same time, Zhang Bing had grown bored of it. Consequently, the three of them went ahead to look for Yang Ming. As soon as Chen Mengyan saw the stack of cash in front of Yang Ming, irritation swelled within her. “Are you guys gambling?”

“We are just playing around…” Yang Ming was embarrassed. After all, women won’t be fond of men who like gambling, particularly their beloved man. They didn’t want them to get hooked on gambling, so Chen Mengyan wasn’t happy with it.

“It is because you’re playing around that you wouldn’t win any money…” Chen Mengyan said without reservation, “Teacher Li is over there. Wang Zhitao, you are the class monitor. How could you lead them into gambling?”

“Chen Mengyan, we seldom have a chance to play together. It seems everyone is having fun. When playing with cards, it is just normal to bring out more excitement.” Wang Zhitao was afraid that Chen Mengyan would ruin his plan, so he immediately appeased her, “Everyone had finished their university enrollment exams. Relaxing occasionally is normal.”

“Yup, I agree. Everyone is having fun. Also, we volunteered to do it.” Chen Afu also added on.

Chen Mengyan looked at Yang Ming and hesitated a little. In the end, she didn’t complain further. Even though she disliked Yang Ming engaged in gambling, Wang Zhitao and company were all present. She didn’t want to lecture Yang Ming since it would ruin his reputation. As a woman, Chen Mengyan knew a man would deem his reputation important. Since she didn’t want to ruin Yang Ming’s reputation, she decided to talk about the harm of gambling to Yang Ming after he finished. Right now, she could only whisper softly, “Playing a few rounds is fine. Stop playing when you start losing.”

“En, I got it. Rest assured.” Yang Ming smiled slightly. “I am winning right now. How can I lose?”

Yang Ming said that intentionally. The purpose was to have Wang Zhitao think that he was over the moon and lost all his senses due to the consecutive wins!

Wang Zhitao could sense it. Naturally, Chen Mengyan could sense it as well. She couldn’t help but to frown slightly and sigh secretly.

The wins and losses from Blackjack were quick. In the blink of an eye, victory was decided. Wang Zhitao didn’t hesitate to lose another few hundred so that Yang Ming would go deeper in his euphoria. Even though Yang Ming was winning money, his technique and judgment were obviously poor, just like a beginner who didn’t play much with poker cards.

In fact, Yang Ming was honestly a beginner. So, he didn’t need to deliberately put on an act. In fact, Yang Ming could oversee the game only because he was very clear about the others’ cards on the table.

Wang Zhitao, Chen Afu, and company had made arrangements beforehand. If anyone had blackjack, he would give an eye signal. Later on, everyone would raise the bet until they achieved their objective to cheat on Yang Ming.

But, would Yang Ming be easily cheated? Besides being proficient in card games, Yang Ming had already known their intention from the start. Hence, when Yang Ming realized they had good cards and he didn’t, he would quietly fold.

Wang Zhitao was anxious. Yang Ming doesn’t follow when I get a good card. Yang Ming follows when I get a bad card. He was helpless with the situation.

At last, a long-awaited opportunity surfaced in front of Yang Ming. Similarly, Wang Zhitao felt the same as he thought this was his opportunity. However, his luck wasn’t as great as Yang Ming’s.

Wang Zhitao got a ten of Hearts and an Ace of Diamonds. On the other hand, Yang Ming had a ten of Clubs and an Ace of Clubs. Yang Ming won by a hair, but Wang Zhitao didn’t know.

Wang Zhitao gave an eye signal to Chen Afu and An Quantao. On the other hand, Yang Ming pretended to be a beginner and hesitantly threw a hundred yuan into the pile.

“Yang Ming, do you want to draw any more cards?” Wang Zhitao asked when it was Yang Ming’s turn.

“Do I want to have one more card?” Yang Ming shook his head. “Nevermind. I don’t want it anymore. Just like this!”

After Wang Zhitao heard Yang Ming say this, he felt reassured. Logically, he would assume that Yang Ming had two cards of average value. He probably wished to get another card but was afraid that he would go over the highest card value.

“I will raise five hundred!” Chen Afu suddenly threw out five hundred yuan on the floor.

Wang Zhitao frowned a little. Raising five hundred yuan, wouldn’t you scare Yang Ming away? He cursed in his heart, What a smarta** this Chen Afu is. Someone like him wants to get a job at my company. What kind of job can I give him? What a challenge!

“Five hundred yuan?” Of course, Yang Ming was stunned when he heard it. He thought to himself, This fellow is quite generous. But, Yang Ming noticed their nervous expressions. So, he wanted to lure them to the bait.

“Yang Ming, do you follow?” An Quantao couldn’t hold himself but asked.

“Aiya Motherf*****. I made a mistake…” Chen Afu suddenly pretended to be regretful. With the glare from Wang Zhitao, he regretted his action. Hence, he tried to quickly patch things up.

Of course, Yang Ming heard Chen Afu’s sentence, and the light bulb in his mind illuminated. He gritted his teeth and decided to follow with another five hundred yuan. Chen Mengyan wanted to stop Yang Ming, but she was too slow. Yang Ming had already put the money in.

“I will add another one thousand yuan!” An Quantao pretended to notice Chen Afu’s despair and took advantage of the situation.

“I follow as well!” Bi Yuntao also threw in a thousand yuan.

“I don’t mind. Since everyone is excited, I will play along!” Wang Zhitao acted as though he was relaxed. “Yang Ming, how about you?”

“I…” Yang Ming swore secretly, I definitely will follow. On the surface, he acted with hesitation.

“Yang Ming, you shouldn’t follow. Isn’t the bet quite big?” Chen Mengyan wasn’t at ease when she advised Yang Ming.

“I will follow!” Yang Ming thought to himself, Little Mengyan, I can only let you be angry first. I will explain to you later.

Wang Zhitao thought Yang Ming didn’t want to lose face in front of Chen Mengyan so he made the decision to follow. He was delighted deep down in his heart. But, on the surface, he spoke, “Yang Ming, you should think it through. I think we have gone overboard today. But, since everyone is in the mood, I can’t say much.”

Yang Ming laughed coldly deep down his heart. You can’t say much? This is all your intention. What do you have to say?

Chen Mengyan noticed Yang Ming ignore her words. She frowned slightly since she wasn’t happy with it. Zhang Bing quickly whispered, “Sister-in-law, Yang Ming isn’t someone addicted to gambling. He must have something in mind.”

Zhang Bing understood Yang Ming better than Chen Mengyan. Zhang Bing knew exactly what kind of person Yang Ming was. Yang Ming wasn’t the kind of person who sought petty gains. Also, he wasn’t someone who became irrational just because of money.

It was evident during the jade gambling in Tengchong when Yang Ming obtained the imperial jade. Based on common logic, if another person was put into the same situation, he might gamble persistently day and night. But, Yang Ming didn’t put this matter into his heart. There was also the second time he went jade gambling. Yang Ming gambled in a controlled manner and did not continue blindly. Zhang Bing wouldn’t believe Yang Ming would lose his mind just because of a few thousand yuan!

Wang Zhitao and Yang Ming weren’t on the same page. Zhang Bing indeed realized this fact. Thus, he could roughly guess that Wang Zhitao and company were attempting to cheat on Yang Ming! He felt that it was impossible for Yang Ming not to notice it. Hence, Yang Ming’s action must have reasons behind it.

Chen Mengyan listened to what Zhang Bing told her, and she thought about Yang Ming’s attitude in daily life. She felt that Yang Ming wasn’t someone impulsive. However, she felt something it wasn’t quite solid. She also was aware of Yang Ming’s family background and what a few thousand meant for Yang Ming. Chen Mengyan was well aware of the facts, so she didn’t want to have Yang Ming be a victim of money.

But, Yang Ming seemed to be crazy! The bet had risen to five thousand yuan. No one was willing to reveal their cards, so no one had given up! Everyone kept raising the bet!

When the bet was more than ten thousand yuan, Chen Mengyan couldn’t sit still, and she pulled the corner of Yang Ming’s sleeve, “Do you have that amount of money?”

Since the bet had grown, there was no possibility of settling with cash only. No one carried such a large sum of money with them. Hence, the raising of bets went according to the procedures for bookkeeping.

The total pot in the game rose to fifty thousand yuan!
