147: What? Twenty million just vanished like that?
Wang Feng's gaze paused.
What? No betting below ten million? Is this kid crazy?
To suppress me, just to show off, he dares to play this big?
With his luck today, isn't he afraid of losing everything, even his pants?
"Hmph, are you sure?"
Lin Pei smirked.
"Of course."
Everyone gasped in unison.
"I spoke too soon, this Young Man is also a rich person, turns out I'm the only poor one."
"Even if he's rich, playing like this won't last long. Just watch."
"It's been a while since I've seen such high stakes betting. As expected, my Brother Lin is always so majestic and domineering wherever he goes."
"Alas, the Young Man is young and full of vigor. I hope after this round, he can also leave majestically."
Wang Feng was certain that Lin Pei, just an actor entering the entertainment industry, couldn't have much wealth.
Perhaps this was all his savings.
But he himself was worth billions; how could he not afford to lose?
A hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"Fine, I'll play with you."
But Lau Tak Wah, standing next to Lin Pei, tugged at Lin Pei's sleeve.
Lin Pei thought he was going to advise him against it, but instead, he patted his chest.
"Brother Lin, just bet away. If you lose all your money, I'll lend you some."
...
Lin Pei didn't know whether to be touched or to sigh with emotion.
If everyone in the casino had such good brothers by their side, how could they avoid going bankrupt and falling into heavy debt early?
... Not long after, the game began.
After the bets were placed, the Dealer revealed the cards.
Actually, golden flower (Zha Jin Hua) was a game frequently played by Ko Chun in the movie 'God of Gamblers'.
At this moment, Lin Pei broke off a piece of Ferrero Rocher Chocolate, put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed, clearly immersed in the role.
Wang Feng opposite him felt that the Lollipop in his mouth no longer tasted sweet.
Damn it.
Why does this Lin Pei have to be one level cooler than him in every aspect?
I've truly never seen anyone who can act pretentious like him.
Hateful!
Xiao Li, standing nearby, stared intently at Lin Pei across the table.
Wow, no wonder this Lin Pei has so many fans and is trending every day.
Seeing him in person, he is simply radiating charm, utterly captivating.
Moreover, this mature and commanding aura makes even Lau Tak Wah sitting next to him seem less dazzling.
If it weren't for thinking this person had a screw loose, betting so big right from the start, she would have immediately switched from being a detractor to a fan.
Wang Feng looked at the imported chocolate in front of Lin Pei and grew angrier the more he thought about it.
While the cards were still being dealt, he took the Lollipop out of his mouth, fiercely threw it onto the carpet, and stomped on it a few times.
The cleaning lady not far away shot him a cold glare, her voice showing no attempt to hide her disdain.
"Hmph, ugly people just love to make a scene!"
???
Wang Feng became even angrier.
Is it that even elderly women nowadays judge people based on looks? Society is truly declining!
... Meanwhile, Wang Feng glanced at his three cards and felt a surge of joy.
His luck today was truly unbeatable.
He got a Straight Flush right at the start.
To put it mildly, in all his years of gambling, he had never drawn such a good hand.
Heaven was truly helping him!
If he didn't win this, his assistant Xiao Li would eat feces standing on her hands.
Xiao Li also brightened up after glancing at Wang Feng's cards, rubbing her hands together, eager to rake back the chips they won.
Oh dear.
This Lin Pei is too attractive; winning from him makes her feel a bit reluctant.
Wang Feng secretly glanced at Lin Pei opposite him.
Good heavens, from beginning to end, this guy hasn't even looked at his hole card.
What is he doing? Giving up?
At this moment, Lin Pei turned the ring on his hand and smiled with composure.
"Mr. Wang, I bet twenty million. Are you in or out?"
Saying that, he pushed all his chips forward.
Wang Feng was instantly stunned.
What this guy said earlier wasn't just talk; he really bet all his chips in the first round.
But he didn't even look at his cards, damn it.
Soon, Wang Feng reacted.
This cunning Lin Pei must be playing mind games, using this posture to scare him off, betting he wouldn't dare to call, thereby humiliating him.
With such a rare, good hand in his grasp, what did he have to fear?
Wang Feng also smiled calmly.
"I call."
Wang Feng eagerly revealed his cards first.
Many people hadn't seen a game with such high stakes in years; a crowd of spectators had already gathered around the two players' table.
When everyone saw that Wang Feng's hand was a Straight Flush, they began to worry for Lin Pei across from him.
After all, many people there were Lin Pei's fans, and everyone hoped he could win.
It seemed that after this hand, Brother Lin would probably become truly penniless.
Wang Feng laughed twice, his eyes full of mockery.
"Lin Pei, if you publicly admit defeat and beg for mercy here, I'll consider leaving you a few bucks."
Seeing Wang Feng's cards, Lin Pei showed no sign of panic.
"Thanks for the kind offer, but I have plenty of bucks; I don't need you to leave any."
Lau Tak Wah became anxious. Seeing Lin Pei make no move to stop him, he reached out and picked up the cards to look.
The result was utter shock upon seeing them.
"Holy crap, a Three of a Kind, and the highest one at that?!"
!!!!
Wang Feng's backside shifted, and he almost slid off his chair.
Then he stabilized himself because he fundamentally believed this was impossible.
The highest Three of a Kind?
A hand like that appears once in a century! What kind of international joke is this?
This Lau Tak Wah is clearly in cahoots with Lin Pei, skilled at deception.
He laughed even harder.
"Hahahahahaha, the highest Three of a Kind? How ridiculous."
"Then show me this Three of a Kind, hahahaha... hiccup..."
He choked.
Because Lin Pei opposite him revealed his cards.
It was Three Aces... Wang Feng's features gaped in shock. How could this be??
He drew a Three of a Kind in the very first hand; what kind of dog-shit luck did this kid step on?
The surrounding crowd also sucked in a cold breath.
"Wow, I'm seeing something new today; I haven't seen a hand like this in years."
"Has Brother Lin saved the Milky Way in a past life? This luck isn't something ordinary people possess."
"To be honest, drawing a Straight Flush was already great for the opponent, I really didn't expect there to be something stronger."
"Brother Lin is so steady, that's the spirit!"
Lau Tak Wah helped Lin Pei rake over the chips they had won.
Wang Feng's face twitched; his heart was practically bleeding.
Damn it.
No matter how rich he was, losing tens of millions in one go made him want to cry.
Lin Pei opposite him, however, smiled kindly.
"Feeling sad?"
"Not necessarily. If you say something nice, I might consider leaving you a few bucks too."
He appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was ecstatic.
The basic professional quality of an actor was facing a severe challenge for the first time.
Damn it.
How could he maintain this calm, water-like expression? What should he do?
Hehe.
Who wouldn't be excited after earning twenty million in a few minutes?
This Wang Feng was simply his God of Wealth.
Wang Feng's face gradually became distorted.
"No need, I have plenty of money. Let's go again."
Everyone saw this and thought, wow, rich people are different; they can keep going even after losing so much money.
Xiao Li also hadn't expected Lin Pei's luck to be this good. She cautiously tugged at Wang Feng's sleeve.
"Brother Feng, this isn't a small amount. Let's quit while we're ahead."
Although Wang Feng was furious, he still retained some rationality.
"Quit while we're ahead? What the hell kind of thing is that to say?"
"Did I get ahead? The one who got ahead was that guy across from us."
Thanks to [gu du] for the tip.
