197: I'm quite skilled at extracting confessions through torture.
After seeing Princess Tifa off, Wang Yuxin turned and walked over to Xiao Anyi. She took the phone back and looked at the live stream, feeling surprised that the viewer count had increased instead of decreased.
Seeing her reappear, the fans immediately grew curious about what it was like to spend time with a princess.
[Duck Egg Superman, hurry up and tell us, what does it feel like to be with a princess?]
[Yes, yes, yes, I’m especially curious, were you nervous?]
[Nervous my ass. Do you think this is ancient times, where they execute nine generations of your family at the drop of a hat?]
[Hey, you’re right, I can’t refute that, but don’t be naive. While they can’t do it openly, secretly, forget nine generations, they could wipe out ten generations.]
[Alas, you young people are still too young. Back in the day, our family was in the palace... never mind, let’s not talk about the past.]
[Wait, ‘in the palace’ and ‘our family’? Do you think you’re the last eunuch?]
[Eunuch? So, there’s a one or two-minute segment of pain, huh? Painful, too painful!]
Wang Yuxin felt speechless watching the barrage of comments. A tiny question, when put in the live stream, was enough to ignite a world war.
“Hey, don’t stray too far off topic. Actually, it was fine. Didn’t you all watch? Princess Tifa is very easy to talk to and doesn’t put on any princess airs at all. I felt like I could really chat with her.”
Although she said that, she knew the reason it was like this was entirely because the other party adopted different attitudes when facing people of different statuses.
If she weren’t Wang Shaojun’s sister, the other party might not have even looked at her directly.
Although she thought this internally, she couldn’t say it out loud.
[Indeed, we were watching the whole time. Princess Tifa is exactly as Duck Egg Superman described.]
[Mhm, mhm, I could feel it too. She really doesn’t have any airs.]
[Seeing your comments, I feel relieved, meaning I’m not the most naive one here. No airs? That’s because the person she’s dealing with is Duck Egg Superman. If you put any other wealthy merchant here, she wouldn’t even look them in the eye.]
[Brother, a man who understands. That makes sense.]
On the other side!
Zheng Tianhong sat at a gambling table with his entourage. The table in front of him was already piled high with chips.
The surrounding patrons were all amazed by his luck; they would lose nine out of ten hands, while he won nine out of ten.
Starting with a capital of one million, his winnings had soared to twenty million in less than half an hour. How could this not surprise people?
“Brother Hong, you are too amazing! You truly deserve to be called the Little God of Gamblers of Macau by outsiders. It hasn’t even been half an hour. If this continues, he’ll hit one hundred million soon. If we come to play every day, Heavenly Palace Hotel will probably close down automatically very soon.”
Hearing his subordinate’s praise, Zheng Tianhong remained calm. “Heh heh, learn from this. Sometimes, to destroy an opponent, you don’t need to go outside the rules; staying within the rules works too. Wang Shaojun could take Jiahe Hotel from my Zheng family, and naturally, I can win it back in his casino.”
“Heh heh, Brother Hong is right! At that point, he can only swallow his anger. As long as he dares to stop us from leaving, Heavenly Palace Hotel’s reputation will be ruined, and it will still have to close down and go bankrupt. Brother Hong, brilliant! Truly brilliant!”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianhong’s lips curled up. The game started again, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly bet all the chips in front of him.
Three minutes later, his winnings doubled again, turning twenty million into forty million.
“Holy cow, this young man! Holy cow!”
“Who is this guy? He’s too amazing! I watched the whole thing from start to finish. He turned one million into forty million in just half an hour.”
“Wait, did you just arrive in Macau? You don’t recognize him? That pink jacket—you can tell immediately that he’s Zheng Yongnian’s youngest son, Zheng Tianhong. You might not know, but he is called the Little God of Gamblers in Macau.”
“Little God of Gamblers? That amazing? No wonder he can win so much. It seems he genuinely has skills.”
“Sigh, it’s not good for a young man to be too showy. Today is the opening day of Heavenly Palace Hotel. If he keeps this up, won’t he embarrass CEO Wang?”
“Bullshit. Casinos open their doors for business. Is there any logic in only allowing people to lose money but not win? If that were the case, why open a casino? Just go rob people instead.”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding people looked at the speaker in horror. Although what he said made sense, good heavens, those words should not be spoken here.
However, the situation here was quickly reported to Wang Zhennan.
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Wang Zhennan frowned. One million turned into forty million?
Luck? In a casino, he definitely didn’t believe in such a thing.
Did he think he was Chen Little Blade, turning an Ace of Spades into a Three of Spades and winning thirty-seven million from twenty dollars?
“Follow me to the surveillance room!”
He wanted to see if Zheng Tianhong truly had supernatural abilities.
If the other party wasn’t playing any tricks, forget winning forty million, he wouldn’t even feel bad if he won four hundred million. After all, if you thought about it differently, wasn’t this also great advertising?
But if the other party dared to play tricks on this specific day, then he could only say sorry, he had come to the wrong place.
Even if he was Zheng Yongnian’s son, he wouldn’t be given face. They say that if you beat the younger one, the older one comes, but now the natural order was reversed: they beat the older one, and now the younger one came.
By the time Wang Zhennan arrived at the surveillance room, Zheng Tianhong’s chips had doubled again, reaching eighty million.
The entire gambling hall was instantly stunned. More and more people gathered around, including wealthy merchants and small-time gamblers.
This scene even attracted the attention of Wang Yuxin and the other two. They exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in the others’ eyes.
“Let’s go see what’s happening.”
Wang Zixuan was the first to speak.
Since this was their family's business, whether out of curiosity or for other reasons, they ought to go forward and check it out.
As the three approached, it didn’t take long for them to grasp the main points from the surrounding chatter.
The viewers in the live stream were even more shocked upon hearing this.
[I didn’t hear wrong, did I? One million won up to eighty million?]
[It seems so. I’ve gambled in Macau casinos, and I recognize the chips. Looking at the chips in front of him, even if it’s not exactly eighty million, it’s close.]
[GG, it’s really true. One million turning into eighty million is even more amazing than when I won thirty-eight million from twenty dollars back then. At least if I had one million in capital, I wouldn’t gamble anymore.]
[Bull... bull... bullshitting! Winning thirty-eight million from twenty dollars? You’ve watched too many movies.]
[Oh, you got me. The material for bullshitting was indeed obtained from watching movies. Otherwise, why would it be twenty dollars and not twenty-five?]
[Because there are no one-dollar chips!]
[One dollar? If you only have one dollar, they’d tell you to go play Fish-Prawn-Crab outside.]
[I think the other party is here to cause trouble. I wonder if Brother Jun is hiring thugs. I’m very skilled at being beaten into a false confession.]
[I think so too. Even if he’s lucky, who can stay lucky forever? If it were me, I’d stop now and leave before the casino takes notice.]
