Chapter 557: Nope, You’re Too Weak

Chapter 558: Nope, You’re Too Weak

The rest of the young masters all gathered around them. Other than one or two that were closer to Gu Yanqi, the rest were on Zheng Qu’s side, so they all stood behind Mela and cheered for her.

Most of them knew how to play the game, and they had a rule whenever they were playing this game: go big or go home. Besides, they could also smell gunpowder in the air.

Both of them were professional, and their numbers were close to each other.

Playing a dice game required some skills, and they did not just shake the dice for nothing. No matter looking from which perspective, a dice game was fundamentally a gambling game, and the wins and losses meant a lot for both players, as it could make one become rich overnight or turn one into a poor wrench in a single round. Some of the professional gamers had the ability to deduce what was inside the opponent’s dice cup just by listening to it, so they could make their bets and won the game easily.

Although Gu Yanqi did not play it as often, he was pretty lucky tonight. Besides, he had good hearing and ability, so he was able to win Mela by a hair width on the first round.

The second round ended with the same outcome.

Since they did not add any strange rules into the game, they just needed to shake the dice by themselves. The person with the higher number would win the round, and whoever won three rounds out of the five rounds would be the final winner.

When they were at the third round, which was also the game point, Gu Yanqi saw how pale Mela’s face was and fell into contemplation. Since she was a woman, and as a gentleman himself, he felt that he should not bully her so much, so he deliberately let her win the round.

He made it so obvious that he pushed the chips on the table to Mela before they revealed their numbers.

The crowd fell silent.

Mela looked at the chips in front of her and her eyes were widened in shock. It seemed like she could not believe that she would lose to Gu Yanqi two times in a row, and she felt extremely embarrassed and humiliated when she remembered how she used to look down on Gu Yanqi in the past.

It occurred to her that today was not their day. Not only did Zheng Qu get his face slapped by both Fu Zhi and Li Nanli, but she also got insulted by Gu Yanqi on the dice game.

If it were not for Gu Yanqi to show her mercy, the game would have ended with Gu Yanqi being the winner.

“Ms. Mela, I’m not going to play anymore after this round,” Gu Yanqi reminded. After all, he had already gotten all the money he wanted, and he figured that he should stop before his luck began to turn against him.

“Not bad, Young Master Gu. You won a lot of money tonight!”

“The lucky goddess is on your side tonight. I heard you want to buy a sports car from the Fu Corporation, right? You’ve got nearly half of the money ready!”

“A sports car from the Fu Corporation? I heard they have incorporated some new technologies into the latest batch and one car cost nearly a few billion. In my opinion, it’s kind of waste for non-racer to own one of their sports cars. I remember that Young Master Zheng has bought one as well, but he never drives it!”

“Young Master Zheng has participated in rallying competition before, remember? Besides, I thought Young Master Zheng has invited Zhuang Mo as well? So where’s he now?”

“He’s busy looking for the driver who beat him in the rallying the other days. He even contacted the Fu Corporation and demanded the information of the driver, but the Fu Corporation just gave him the cold shoulder.”

The sound of discussion around loud and clear.

When Zheng Qu saw that Gu Yanqi was winning the game, his face sank.

Right now, Gu Yanqi just needed to win another round and he would be the final winner. Mela had already lost two rounds, and she seemed less confident than when she first joined the game. If he did not do anything, Mela would certainly lose. With that thought in mind, Zheng Qu took a step forward and grabbed Mela’s hand. He then pulled the dice cup to himself and asked with a smile on his face, “Young Master Gu, it’s not fun to play with a woman. How about I play with you instead?”

Gu Yanqi knew what Zheng Qu was doing, but he could not say anything since Li Nanli had interrupted the match between him and Fu Zhi as well just now.

His face grew stern.

Unlike Mela, Zheng Qu was the real professional. He had started gambling since young and he was very good at it.

Mela’s friends behind her heaved out a sigh of relief, “That’s only fair for Young Master Zheng to play on behalf of Mela. You’ve got to be careful, Young Master Gu. Young Master Zheng is different from Ms. Mela. He’s far better than her.”

Zheng Qu pushed the chips in front of him into the table and announced, “Let’s make it a little more fun. 50 million, are you in, Young Master Gu?”

Gu Yanqi’s friends did not have a good feeling about this. Although Gu Yanqi was pretty lucky today, his skills were nowhere near Zheng Qu.

Both of them shared a glance and they decided to call for help. After all, Gu Yanqi had someone behind his back.

One of them immediately went to look for Li Nanli.

Gu Yanqi’s face was pale.

—

In the meantime, Fu Zhi had just finished her game.

Li Nanli took a look at her phone and he realized that her game ID was different from the last time.

It seemed to him that this must be the ID that she used to play games on normal days.

The young man soon arrived in front of them. “President Li, Ms. Fu, bad news! Young Master Gu and Young Master Zheng have come together for gambling, and they are…”

“Arrested by the police and shot on the spot?” Fu Zhi continued, stunning the young man.

‘Well. It’s not that serious.’

He snapped himself out of his thought and continued, “Young Master Zheng insists Young Master Gu play with him. He’s going for 50 million a round, and Young Master Gu has to sell his blood if he loses for two rounds!”

Fu Zhi and Li Nanli looked at each other. Then, they rose to their feet and followed after the young man.

There was an exciting and shrill roar of laughter as the two arrived.

All the chips on Gu Yanqi’s side were pushed to Zheng Qu by the servant, and Gu Yanqi’s face was white.

He had taken a liking to a sports car from the Fu Corporation. However, he had been restraining from buying it because it cost about a billion. He thought of using the money he won from Mela to buy the car, but it now seemed to him that it was not going to happen.

Everyone was so engrossed in the game that nobody noticed Fu Zhi or Li Nanli.

It was the last round, and Fu Zhi looked at Gu Yanqi shaking the dice cup from a distance not far away.

She did not have a good feeling about it.

She then turned towards Zheng Qu. He had a confident grin on his face, and judging from the sound in the dice cup, it was apparent that he was going to win this time.

Gu Yanqi still did not know that he was going to lose.

He kept shaking the dice cup in his hand for a long while before slapping it on the table with a loud thud.

“Oh, great-grandmother, you used to spoil me when you’re still alive, so please open your eyes and give me a good number. I’m going to marry this year and can continue our family bloodline, so I need this money a lot! So please help me!”

Fu Zhi and Li Nanli did not know what to say.

‘Stop begging your great-grandmother. She must have been blinded.”

Meanwhile, Zheng Qu had slammed his dice up on the table as well.

Gu Yanqi took a deep breath, and just when he was about to open his dice cup, Fu Zhi hastily went forward and put her hand on top of his hand, causing Gu Yanqi to lift his head and look at her.

Then, she secretly pulled Gu Yanqi’s arm towards the right side and the dice cup shook a little.

“There’s dirt on your sleeve.”

“Ah? Oh… Thank you.”

Gu Yanqi soon realized Fu Zhi was helping him.

He opened the dice cup, and everyone craned their necks forward. When they all saw it was a combination of 6-6-6, they were stunned.

“Holy! How is he so lucky today?”

“Yeah, right. He used to be notoriously known for his bad luck!”

Zheng Qu stared at Fu Zhi with a grim expression on his face.

Just when the others were praising Gu Yanqi, he hissed, “Ms. Fu, cheating is not a good habit in gambling, don’t you think so?”

Then, he lifted his dice cup, and just like Gu Yanqi, he had gotten a combination of 6-6-6 as well.

“Well, since it’s a tie and time is getting late, why don’t we call it a day and go home?” Zheng Qu’s friend suggested.

However, Zheng Qu paid him no mind and just fixed his eyes on Fu Zhi.

Casting Zheng Qu a defiant glance, Fu Zhi took over the dice up in Gu Yanqi’s hand and said, “If you feel it’s unfair, why not I play with you instead?”

“No, Fu Zhi. He’s pretty good at this and…” Gu Yanqi said, “The stake is high, and you might lose all your money…”

“Don’t worry,” Fu Zhi interrupted, “It’s on me if I win, but it’s on you if I lose.”

Gu Yanqi was speechless and he became even more worried.

Li Nanli went forward to kick Gu Yanqi and asked, “What are you still doing here?”

Gu Yanqi replied, “Protecting her.”

“Get out of her way,” Li Nanli said before kicking him away.

After Li Nanli had kicked Gu Yanqi away, Fu Zhi held the dice cup in her hand and said to Zheng Qu, “Let’s change the rule. Whoever gets the smaller number wins. I’ll go for 80 million. Are you in or not?”

“80 million? Are you crazy?” Mela shouted.

“You don’t believe your boyfriend can win this?”

“What? Of course not!” Mela refuted.

“Well, that’s decided, then. Let’s waste our time and start the game.”

With that, Fu Zhi took her dice cup up and began shaking.

Truth be told, Zheng Qu did not have a good feeling about going up against Fu Zhi as well, but Fu Zhi did not give him a chance to say anything. After she shook the dice cup three times, she put it on the table.

Zheng Qu’s face darkened.

Mela looked anxiously at him and said, “I think she’s just messing with you. Don’t care about her. Just stay calm and you’ll be alright.”

Zheng Qu nodded.

Generally, anyone who knew how to play a dice game would know that if one stacked all the dice together and if the last die on the top had a “1”, he or she would certainly win the game.

However, it took a lot of skills and practice to be able to do it.

Zheng Qu shook the dice cup for three minutes or so. In the end, he let out a sigh when he heard a “click” from the cup and he placed the cup on the table.

Fu Zhi gestured him to open his dice cup first.

Zheng Qu slowly opened his dice cup, and as expected, all of the dice were stacked together into a pillar and the die on the top was showing the number “1”.

“Terrific!” Someone exclaimed.

However, their delight was short-lived. As Zheng Qu watched on, Fu Zhi opened up her dice cup, and to everyone’s surprise, there was nothing inside of her dice cup other than a pile of white powder.

“It’s an 0!”

Zheng Qu was stunned and Gu Yanqi shouted, “I have my sports car back!”

Li Nanli doubted so.

‘Don’t count your chicken before they hatch. There’s a good chance that she’s going to take all the money into her pocket.’

“Fu Zhi, you—” Zheng Qu snapped as he glared furiously at Fu Zhi. He felt as if he wanted to vomit blood as he had never seen something like this before.

Besides, he also wondered when did Fu Zhi crush the dice.

Zheng Qu was not an idiot, and he did not believe that someone could reduce dice into powder by just shaking them.

Therefore, he shouted, “You must have cheated! What’s the point of shaking the dice when the dice are gone? Let’s start a new game!”

Li Nanli swirled the wine in his glass and added, “What did you say?”

“That’s a nice one, Aunt Fu Zhi,” Zheng Qu said, but the expression on his face said otherwise.

He stared at Fu Zhi like a snake staring at prey as he hissed, “Let’s go for another round, okay, Aunt Fu Zhi?”

“Nah, you’re too weak. I don’t have any sense of accomplishment by defeating you. I’d rather play with my phone.”

Fu Zhi then turned her head around. The police officers from Myanmar had been calling and sending her text messages. It seemed to her that something had happened to Matthew, so she figured she should go now.

“You guys can split those Onyx Pixies. We have to go now.”
