173: Iron plate? Titanium alloy plate!

"Again!" Seeing Deng Yue throw in 500,000 in chips, Zhao Hongyu threw in 500,000 herself.

Just like that, the two of them went through another four or five rounds.

By now, the total chips on the table had reached over eight million!

At this moment, Sun Mei gave Zhao Hongyu a look, and Zhao Hongyu gave a nearly imperceptible nod.

"Sister Yue, continuing like this will only hurt our friendship. How about this: we each throw in another two million and compare our hands?" Zhao Hongyu suggested.

"Fine!" Deng Yue felt it was about time as well, so she replied.

Then, they each threw in another two million in chips, and Deng Yue turned over her hole cards immediately.

"Wow, a J-Q-K Straight Flush! Yueyue, you're on a roll. A Set last hand and a Straight Flush this hand—your luck is really turning around," Sun Mei said, feigning surprise upon seeing Deng Yue's cards.

Hearing this, Deng Yue thought she had won for sure. But in the next second, Zhao Hongyu revealed her cards: three 3s. It was another Set!!!

"How is this possible!" Deng Yue asked, her face turning pale as she stared at the cards.

Right then, the door to the private booth was suddenly pushed open. Qin Yang strode in with his eyes narrowed, sneering, "Heh, what's impossible?"

Seeing Qin Yang, Deng Yue froze on the spot.

The others looked at Qin Yang in astonishment. Then, Sun Mei stood up and asked angrily, "Who are you? How can you just barge into someone else's private booth without saying a word?"

"Heh, you're asking who I am? Why? My wife is here; can't I come in?" Qin Yang countered.

Ignoring the other three, Qin Yang walked over to Deng Yue's side and put his arm around her shoulder. "Silly girl, it's just losing a bit of money. Why are you crying?"

When Deng Yue saw Qin Yang, she was stunned at first, and then tears of regret began to flow. Seeing his wife like this, Qin Yang couldn't bring himself to scold her further. However, he was still curious about why Deng Yue would come to a place like this to play cards. This girl was usually very stingy; she shouldn't have become addicted to this sort of thing.

After calming her emotions, Deng Yue lowered her head, not daring to look Qin Yang in the eye, and recounted everything that had happened over the past few days.

As soon as Qin Yang heard it, he understood what was going on.

There was wisdom in the old saying that one shouldn't flaunt their wealth. Deng Yue had only started driving a nice car and wearing better clothes, and she was already targeted by people with ill intentions. When ordinary people suddenly become wealthy, they might not necessarily be able to keep it. Fortunately, Qin Yang was there to back her up; otherwise, Deng Yue would likely have been eaten alive, bones and all.

Seeing that the newcomer was Deng Yue's man, the other three didn't say anything else, perhaps wanting to see how the drama unfolded. However, Qin Yang's pampering of Deng Yue was beyond their expectations. His wife had lost over ten million, yet he just said it was "only a bit of money." Was he really that wealthy?

Zhao Hongyu looked at Sun Mei, who shook her head slightly.

From what she had managed to fish out of Deng Yue, Sun Mei only knew that Deng Yue had a man who owned a Construction company, but she didn't know exactly who he was.

"Are you playing Fried Golden Flower?" Qin Yang asked, looking at the table after Deng Yue had calmed down.

"Yes. So it's the Brother-in-law. I'm Yueyue's high school classmate. This is my first time meeting you; sorry about just now," Sun Mei replied.

"Mhm. I just heard Yueyue shouting about something being impossible?"

"It was just a bad beat. Yueyue lost some money and found it hard to believe," Sun Mei continued to explain.

"Oh? What hands?"

"A J-Q-K Straight Flush ran into a small Set."

"Oh, it's fine. It's normal when playing cards. Is the debt settled?" Qin Yang waved his hand dismissively.

"Not yet. Sister Yue lost quite a bit this hand, so we haven't settled it," Zhao Hongyu chimed in.

"How much?" Qin Yang asked.

"6.76 million. Since we're all friends, I'll round it down. Just 6.7 million is fine," Zhao Hongyu said.

"Fine. Give me your card number, and I'll transfer the money to you," Qin Yang replied readily.

Seeing Qin Yang so cooperative, Sun Mei and the others were overjoyed. They quickly gave him the card number, and before long, the money was transferred.

Seeing that they had fleeced enough for the day, they wanted to leave. But just as they stood up, Qin Yang interrupted, "You're all Yueyue's friends, so you're not outsiders. My hands happen to be itching today; why don't we play for a bit longer?"

Hearing this, they didn't really want to play anymore, but seeing Qin Yang's cold gaze, they exchanged looks and sat back down. "Alright, let's play for a bit longer then."

"Hubby!" Deng Yue wanted to stop Qin Yang, but he glanced at her and shook his head.

Deng Yue said no more.

A new deck was brought out, and Zhao Hongxia dealt the cards.

But as she was dealing the second card, Qin Yang's superhuman reflexes and eyesight caught her trick.

This woman actually stole a card right in front of everyone. If it weren't for Qin Yang's reflexes and vision being far superior to ordinary people, he definitely wouldn't have noticed. As expected, this game was clearly a setup for Deng Yue. These people were in it together, and there was even a Card sharp among them!

However, Qin Yang didn't say anything, letting the other party continue to cheat.

Qin Yang didn't even look at his cards. When it was his turn to speak, he said directly, "500,000, blind!"

As soon as he said this, the booth fell silent. The others exchanged looks again, and Zhao Hongyu said, "Brother-in-law, do you want to play this big?"

"Heh, it's fine. It's just a small amount of money," Qin Yang laughed.

"Alright, then I'll risk it to keep you company! I'll follow with one million!" Zhao Hongyu replied.

The other two were just shills. Seeing the stakes so high, they naturally folded.

"Another 500,000!"

"I'll follow!"

"500,000!"

"I'll follow!"

After several rounds, once the chips had stacked up to six million, Qin Yang finally looked at his hole cards. Oh ho, as he expected, three 6s—another Set.

However, Qin Yang continued calmly, "It seems my luck is pretty good; I've got a decent hand. Raise to ten million!!"

"Brother-in-law, is there a need to play this big?" Seeing Qin Yang immediately jump to ten million, Zhao Hongyu was both excited and shocked by Qin Yang's financial strength.

"It's fine. I definitely have the money. If you want to verify my assets, I can show you," Qin Yang replied.

Zhao Hongyu narrowed her eyes and said, "Then I want to verify your assets."

Qin Yang nonchalantly pulled a card from his person. Sun Mei took the card, went to the side to use a computer, and checked the account balance. However, after seeing the balance and counting the digits, Sun Mei froze in place.

"Xiaomei, well?" After waiting for half a minute, another middle-aged noblewoman asked.

"The... the money is enough. This card has... has 3.2 billion in cash!!" Having been called, Sun Mei snapped out of it and replied stumblingly.

Hearing this, the pupils of the other two women constricted. With a cash flow of over three billion, how much must this man's total net worth be? Could they have kicked an Iron plate this time!!?

Qin Yang smiled playfully. "The money is enough, right? Come, let's continue..."

Zhao Hongyu swallowed hard upon hearing this. "Brother-in-law, the stakes are too high. How about this: I'll use ten million to call you, and we'll settle the win or loss right now?"

"As you wish!" Qin Yang said, still smiling as if he didn't care.
