304: Ms. Lei Jun is amazing!

Su Cha ignored Atapong's mockery. He turned around, looked at everyone in the courtyard, and spoke loudly, "Relatives and neighbors, today I, Su Cha, am suffering this great humiliation all because of Atapong's arrogance and tyranny!"

He took a deep breath and continued.

"I know three million is not a small sum, but I implore you—is anyone willing to step forward and give me a hand by betting with me? As long as we can force Atapong to show his hand and win this round, I, Su Cha, swear that I will repay your kindness twofold in the future!"

Su Cha's voice carried a hint of a tremble, and his eyes were full of pleading.

He knew his request was a bit much; three million was not a small amount, and very few people could produce it.

But he truly was unwilling—unwilling to be humiliated by Atapong like this, unwilling to just admit defeat.

The people in the courtyard fell silent upon hearing Su Cha's words.

They looked at one another, but no one spoke.

Three million was indeed an astronomical figure for the people in this village; very few could afford it.

Atapong laughed disdainfully.

"Oh boy, Su Cha, have some shame!"

He believed no one would be willing to lend Su Cha three million. After all, no one was a fool; they wouldn't gamble away their family savings.

As long as no one helped Su Cha, Su Cha would have no choice but to admit defeat. Then all the stakes on the table would be his, and he could humiliate Su Cha ruthlessly. The thought alone was satisfying.

"Think about it, Su Cha has even mortgaged his house, car, and relocation compensation. He's a pauper now! If you lend him money, isn't that just throwing it down the drain? In the end, he won't be able to pay you back at all, and you'll have nowhere to go to cry!"

Nala also hurried over to chime in.

"Exactly! Lending money to Su Cha now is like throwing a meat bun at a dog—it'll never come back! Only a fool would lend him money!"

Nala was terrified inside, fearing that someone might actually lend Su Cha money on an impulse.

As long as no one lent him money, Su Cha was bound to lose, and she could get those stakes.

So she had to speak even more harshly to completely cut off any thoughts the crowd had of helping Su Cha.

She pointed at Su Cha and said to the crowd, "Don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance! He's just faking it! If he hadn't insisted on gambling with Atapong in the first place, would this be happening today? He brought this on himself!"

Hearing Atapong and Nala's mockery, Su Cha trembled with rage.

He wanted to retort, but he opened his mouth only to find he couldn't say a single word.

He knew Atapong was telling the truth; he was indeed penniless now, and it was only natural that no one wanted to lend him money.

Su Cha's wife, Pinya, stepped forward and spoke angrily to Atapong and Nala, "Don't go too far! Atapong, if you hadn't kept pushing and insisting on raising the stakes, would things have reached this point? And now you have the nerve to stand there making sarcastic remarks!"

Pinya was both angry and anxious; angry at the arrogance of Atapong and his wife, and anxious that no one was willing to help her husband.

She knew three million was an astronomical sum, but seeing her husband's helpless state, she couldn't help but want to speak up for him.

Atapong glanced disdainfully at Pinya. "What? Was I wrong? Su Cha is incompetent himself yet wants to drag others down with him. Am I not allowed to say that?"

Seeing this, Lei Jun knew it was time for her to act.

She walked to Su Cha's side. "Su Cha, give me your cards."

Su Cha was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what Lei Jun was going to do, his heart was full of trust for her. He quickly handed over the cards in his hand.

Lei Jun took the cards and lightly rubbed them with her hand.

Her movements were very fast and natural; most people present didn't see clearly what she had done.

Only Lei Ying, relying on his superhuman vision, caught the subtle movements of her fingers, but he said nothing, remaining vigilant.

A few seconds later, Lei Jun stopped. She raised her hand and revealed the two cards in her hand... both were Aces!

*Whoosh!*

The courtyard instantly erupted into a commotion.

Su Cha's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again; they were indeed two Aces!

Waves of shock surged in his heart. No way! Ms. Lei Jun is simply too amazing!

She actually turned his straight flush into two Aces!

Could the third card also be an Ace?

If it were three Aces, that would be a set of Aces—a guaranteed win against Atapong!

Su Qing and Su Ya were also stunned. The two sisters looked at each other, both seeing shock and wild joy in the other's eyes.

Ms. Lei Jun is too divine!

She could actually change the cards like this; Brother is saved!

Su Ya trembled with excitement. She tightly gripped her sister's hand, chanting in her mind: it must be three Aces, it must be three Aces!

That way, her brother could win and escape Atapong's humiliation!

Wenchalong was also dumbfounded, his mouth hanging open, unable to say a word for a long time.

He looked at the two Aces in Lei Jun's hand. The despair in his heart was suddenly replaced by a glimmer of hope. Is... is this real? Two Aces? Could the last one also be an Ace? If so, would our family not have to lose?

Atapong's smile instantly froze on his face. His complexion turned pale, and he involuntarily took a step back.

He stared fixedly at the two Aces in Lei Jun's hand, his heart racing with panic.

This... this... how is this possible!

Could it be this woman's doing?

He tried hard to recall Lei Jun's movements just now... Impossible, absolutely impossible!

He had been staring at Su Cha's cards; this woman had no chance to swap them.

They were trying to bluff and scare him!

Yes, it must be that!

Nala also panicked. "You... you're cheating! You definitely swapped the cards!"

She was terrified. If Su Cha really had three Aces, she was finished. Not only would she not get the stakes, but she would also lose Atapong's factory and the online loans they had taken out.

She had to find a way to question the authenticity of these two cards and make everyone believe Lei Jun was cheating.

The people in the courtyard were also buzzing with discussion, every face filled with shock and curiosity.

"Two Aces! My god! That's incredible! Seeing how calm Ms. Lei Jun is, could the last one also be an Ace? If it's three Aces, that's a set of Aces; Atapong will definitely lose!"

"Hahaha, he's panicked! Atapong is definitely panicked! Look at his face, it's white as a sheet! Wasn't he quite arrogant just now? Why isn't he acting tough anymore?"

"Hard to say, hard to say. In golden flower, things are half real and half bluff. Maybe it's just two Aces to scare Atapong. But this Ms. Lei Jun doesn't look simple."

"Regardless of whether the last one is an Ace, Atapong is definitely panicked now. Just now he said no one would help Su Cha, but now that Ms. Lei Jun has shown two Aces, maybe someone will be willing to help him."

"Exactly! Atapong is usually so arrogant, bullying this person and that. It's about time someone dealt with him! If Su Cha really has a set of Aces, I'll be the first to support him!"
