284: It was clearly the 7 of Clubs just now.
While Lei Jun was thinking about how to prove it, Su Cha's father, Wenchalong, had already roughly understood Lei Jun's judgment from his daughters' intermittent accounts and the dialogue at the scene.
If Lei Jun was right, then if his son cut his losses now, although the loss would be heavy, at least he hadn't bet the demolition compensation and possible high-interest loans yet? Perhaps... they could still save a little?
He suddenly bounced up from his chair, rushed in front of Su Cha, raised his hand wanting to give his son a slap, and roared in a low voice.
"You unfilial son! You unfilial son! Look at the trouble you've caused! You just had to gamble! You just wouldn't listen! Now look! It's all over! Our whole family is finished! How am I supposed to live!"
Su Qing and Su Ya quickly held their father back again, not letting him hit anyone.
The scene was a mess.
Su Cha's wife, Pinya, was relatively calmer.
She looked at Lei Jun, her eyes filled with contradiction and struggle.
She was willing to believe her husband, and she was also moved by Lei Jun's previous help to Su Qing and Su Ya and her warning today.
However, to ask them to give up all their family assets that had already been bet based on a single word from Lei Jun without any proof was also difficult for her to accept.
She spoke hesitantly, her tone as polite as possible but carrying doubt.
"Ms. Lei, I am very grateful to you for warning us. But... how can you prove that what you're saying is true? If we let Su Cha give up the game now, everything we bet before will be gone. This... this loss is too great. What if... what if you saw it wrong?"
Wenchalong also stopped struggling and, like the others, looked at Lei Jun with hesitant eyes.
Yes, how to prove it? What if she was wrong? Then giving up now would be like giving away their things to Atapong for nothing, wouldn't it?
Lei Jun looked at this family's doubting eyes and sighed again.
She knew that without showing some real skill, she wouldn't be able to convince these people who had been pushed to the brink and whose thinking was in chaos.
How should she prove it?
Suddenly, she thought of an ability within her God-level Gambling Skill.
Her gaze fell on some poker cards scattered on the gambling table.
A simple and direct idea took shape.
She walked forward calmly and, under everyone's puzzled gazes, casually drew a card from the pile of cards scattered on the table.
Then, she looked at Atapong.
"Atapong, I'll borrow this card to demonstrate something to your Younger Cousin Brother and the others, is that okay?"
Seeing Lei Jun, this stunning silver-haired beauty, take the initiative to speak to him and ask for a favor, Atapong was immediately overjoyed.
He immediately piled what he thought was his most dashing and charming smile on his face and nodded repeatedly.
"Sure! Absolutely! Ms. Lei, you can use it however you want! Use it freely! As long as..."
His eyes darted around, sweeping over Su Cha, as he added.
"As long as you don't swap cards with Su Cha!"
His wife, Nala, was so angry beside him that she pinched his thigh hard and cursed something in a low voice.
But Atapong's attention was entirely on Lei Jun at the moment; even though he grimaced in pain, he didn't bother to pay attention, just staring intently at Lei Jun as if every extra look was a gain.
He thought happily to himself, the beauty asked me for a favor! What does this show? It shows I'm charming! Once I win the money, maybe... Lei Jun turned a blind eye to Atapong's attentiveness and Nala's jealousy, just nodding faintly.
"Rest assured."
She picked up the card and then turned to Su Cha, Pinya, Wenchalong, Su Qing, and Su Ya.
"Watch closely." Lei Jun held the card face up and showed it to the five of them, "Tell me, what card is this?"
Five people, ten eyes, all stared intently at that card.
The face was clear—the Seven of Clubs.
"Seven of Clubs," Su Cha answered subconsciously. Pinya, Wenchalong, Su Qing, and Su Ya also nodded in confirmation.
"No problem? You didn't see it wrong?" Lei Jun confirmed again, her tone serious.
"That's right, it's the Seven of Clubs!" the five said in unison, very certain.
Su Qing and Su Ya added, "We both saw it clearly, it's definitely the Seven of Clubs."
"Good." Lei Jun nodded.
Then, she made a seemingly casual movement.
She pinched the two ends of the card with her thumb and index finger, her wrist gave an extremely slight flick, and her fingers made an extremely hidden rubbing and shielding motion on the card face at a speed and angle almost undetectable to the naked eye.
This movement was as fast as lightning, and her hand gesture cleverly blocked the view of the others around them, only allowing Su Cha and the other four to see the local change on the card face.
Under the astonished gazes of Su Cha and the others, the suit and number in the center of the previously crystal-clear Seven of Clubs seemed to blur for an instant before their eyes, like a magic trick, and then... it turned into the Six of Diamonds!
The five people's eyes widened and their mouths hung open at the same time, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world!
Wha... What?!
How... How is that possible?!
It was clearly the Seven of Clubs just now!
A perfectly clear Seven of Clubs!
The five of them, ten eyes, had all seen it truly and clearly!
How did it turn into the Six of Diamonds in the blink of an eye with just such a gentle movement in Lei Jun's hand?
Were their eyes playing tricks? Was it a hallucination?
Su Cha rubbed his eyes hard and then looked again fixedly.
That's right! The part of the card face revealed between Lei Jun's fingers was impressively the pattern of the Six of Diamonds!
It wasn't the Seven of Clubs!
Pinya also covered her mouth and gasped. Wen-
chalong, with his old and failing eyesight, thought he had seen it wrong and blinked his eyes desperately.
Su Qing and Su Ya were even more shocked into silence. They knew Lei Jun was powerful, but they didn't expect... she was powerful to this extent?
This was practically like magic!
Of course, they didn't know that this was an ability granted to Lei Jun by the God-level Gambling Skill.
Lei Jun looked at the five of them, shocked into speechlessness, and knew the effect had been achieved.
She quickly closed her hand over the card, not letting the others see.
"Now, do you believe what I said?"
Su Cha and the other four nodded distractedly, their brains in a mess.
Believe?
With this incredible scene happening before their eyes, they had no choice but to believe!
If Lei Jun could change a card in such a near-miraculous way, then her being able to accurately see Atapong's and Su Cha's cards... didn't seem completely impossible anymore?
But, what after believing?
Believing didn't bring hope, but deeper despair!
If what Lei Jun said was true, and Atapong really had a Three-of-a-Kind of Queens, then the result of this gambling match was already set in stone!
Su Cha was destined to lose!
Everything they had bet before... Su Cha's second-hand alto, Pinya's three golds, the wedding house worth eight hundred thousand, the dowry house worth eight hundred thousand given by Pinya's parents... all of it would be lost!
It would all belong to Atapong!
Not only that, Su Cha's face was deathly pale; he had just borrowed two hundred thousand from an online loan on his phone.
It's over! It's all over!
Su Cha's cold sweat was no longer just flowing, but pouring down from his forehead, cheeks, and neck like water.
