30: Chapter 30 Two Dragons Clash!
Only eight years old, Chu Lingyin was just as tall as the table. Standing on a stool, she imitated the dealer, first dealing cards to Long Aotian, then to Ye Fan, and finally to Chu Xiao.
Seeing this scene...
The expressions of both Long Aotian and Ye Fan shifted slightly.
According to the rules, the second hand should have started with Ye Fan, but how could a little girl like Chu Lingyin know that?
However, no one blamed her!
She was just a child, after all!
It was just playing around!
For other gamblers, this sort of thing would be taboo!
But for Chu Xiao, he didn't seem to care at all!
"There! I'm done dealing!"
Chu Lingyin sat down with a giggle.
The dealer looked at Long Aotian, then at Ye Fan and Chu Xiao, and asked, "Excuse me, do you need to reset the order?"
He meant to ask if they wanted to return the card order to normal.
Chu Xiao naturally didn't say anything; after all, his sister had dealt the cards, so any mistake was on him.
Long Aotian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "No need, let's keep it this way! Brother Ye, it's your turn to speak!"
Ye Fan frowned and looked at the three cards in front of him, only then realizing that the marks he had left on the cards were gone.
This meant he had no way of knowing the value of the cards in his hand!
He had already won 180 million. If he played steadily from now on, checking his cards every hand and not being reckless, he was practically guaranteed to win.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan placed his hand directly on the three cards and lifted a corner to steal a glance.
He saw...
One King, two Kings, three Kings!!!
Three Kings!
Three of a Kind!!!
In fried golden flower, the highest hand is Three of a Kind!
Once you draw such a hand, the outcome is almost a foregone conclusion!
Some people play fried golden flower for years without ever getting a Three of a Kind, let alone a Three of a Kind of Kings!
Ye Fan's breathing quickened instantly, but as a veteran of fried golden flower, he quickly calmed himself down and feigned a look of great difficulty.
Because Li Qingxue disliked gambling, she didn't bother to look at what cards he held.
Long Aotian asked with a half-smile, "Brother Ye, it's your turn. If your hand isn't great, just fold!"
Ye Fan sneered inwardly. He looked at the nonchalant Chu Xiao and thought to himself, 'Logically, this hand should have been dealt to Chu Xiao, but unfortunately, his sister messed up the order!'
In that case, the possibility of the other party tampering with the cards or setting a trap was almost zero!
Meaning, he, Ye Fan, had drawn this Three of a Kind of Kings purely by luck!
At that thought...
Ye Fan immediately tossed out two 5-million chips and said, "I'll bet 10 million!"
Next.
It was Chu Xiao's turn. Without even looking, he tossed in his chips and laughed, "Since Brother Ye has caught a good hand, as your good brother, I'll naturally go blind for a few rounds to liven things up!"
Long Aotian also followed suit and bet blind without a word!
The atmosphere instantly became heated.
Chips worth five million were tossed onto the table like trash, making the surrounding gamblers green with envy!
In the previous hand, Chu Xiao had looked at his cards first, and then the other two went blind!
This time, Ye Fan looked at his cards, and the other two followed suit by betting blind!
How similar it was!
A few minutes later.
They reached the tenth round, and the chips on the table totaled as much as 200 million!
The breathing of the onlookers grew heavy.
How thrilling!
It was truly too intense!
Long Aotian finally couldn't help himself. He cracked his neck and smiled, "Alright! Let me see my cards too! If they're small, I'll just fold and let you two battle it out!"
As he spoke...
His hand was already on the three cards. With a slight lift, they turned out to be A-K-Q!
A Straight Flush!
The highest Straight Flush!
"Interesting!" Long Aotian's lips curled up as he tossed out two 5-million chips. "Sorry, but this hand is big!"
Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but gasp.
The situation was now very tense!
Of the three people, two had looked at their cards and chosen to call!
So, the power now rested with the person who was still betting blind.
If Chu Xiao kept betting blind and the two who had seen their cards kept calling, then this hand wouldn't just be about a few hundred million.
Pei Yimo blushed and whispered, "Chu Xiao, why don't we take a look at the cards too?"
Chu Xiao joked, "No rush, let's go blind for two more rounds. If my hand is as big as the last one, wouldn't looking early be a waste?"
Pei Yimo lowered her voice, "You already got a King-high Flush last time. The chances of having a good hand this time are low. Now that both of them are in, shouldn't we be a bit more cautious?"
She spoke softly, her delicate pink lips slightly parted, looking very gentle.
Chu Xiao rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled, "Fine! You take a look then!"
Hearing this, Pei Yimo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully lifted the corner of the cards, her heart racing. This was her first time personally handling cards in a billion-dollar game.
Although she knew a good hand was unlikely, she still hoped Chu Xiao would have a Flush.
However...
When the cards were revealed, three mismatched cards met her eyes...
Pei Yimo's expression froze. She winked and gestured at Chu Xiao, asking silently, 'What do we do? The hand is so small!!!'
"Fold!" Chu Xiao said with a smile. The game was far from over; if you want to slaughter a pig, you have to fatten it up first. Let Ye Fan enjoy himself for a bit.
Next.
It was Long Aotian's turn. He couldn't help but frown in thought, looking at the Straight Flush in his hand and then at Ye Fan's expression.
He was a bit uncertain!
He thought Chu Xiao would keep betting blind, but he didn't expect him to fold immediately!
Long Aotian tested the waters slightly, "Brother Ye? How about the two of us compare hands?"
Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Sure! We each put in 100 million! How about it?"
Hearing this...
Everyone around couldn't help but gasp.
100 million to compare hands!
What kind of insane high-roller game was this!
Long Aotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With a hint of mockery in his eyes, he said, "I certainly have no objection to a 100-million showdown! But hasn't Brother Ye forgotten? You don't have many chips left in your hand!"
Ye Fan's lips curled up. "The person beside me is the sole heir to the Li Group! The Li Group has a market value of 50 billion! Do you really think we'd be short of a mere 100 million?"
Long Aotian naturally knew Li Qingxue's identity; otherwise, he wouldn't have invited Ye Fan to join the game. He laughed, "Of course I know the Li Group! But what is your relationship with her? Boyfriend? Or husband?"
Ye Fan said confidently, "Just a boyfriend for now! But in the future, maybe I'll become her husband!"
Hearing this, Long Aotian couldn't help but burst into laughter, even tearing up. He clapped his hands and said, "Just a boyfriend! Whether you'll become the Li Group's Son-in-law in the future is still unknown! How about this: have the sole heir of the Li Group promise in front of everyone to lend you 100 million, and I'll keep playing with you!"
"Otherwise, I'll just have to keep calling! When you run out of chips, you'll have no choice but to fold!"
