Chapter 566: 488 Surprise

Gradually, Li Shuru became more and more proactive, darting from one gambling table to another with Xue Yali in tow.

"If you’re this lucky, you should raise the stakes; otherwise, how can you win money?" Jiang Chen urged.

"Don’t talk."

Li Shuru wouldn’t listen to his wild ideas; it was supposed to be about taking Xue Yali out for fun, but she ended up taking over the show, instructing Xue Yali to place a five-hundred-dollar chip on "player."

Such unsolicited advice.

Jiang Chen watched with glee; even though he was just following them around like a lackey, he was enjoying an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Perhaps.

This was why men wanted to make money.

"Brother Bai, you don’t want to play?"

As the sisters gambled joyfully, Jiang Chen turned his head and asked.

Bai Haoran shook his head, "I’ve always been unlucky with gambling."

"That was the past. Everyone has their lucky turn eventually. Look, even these two newbies can win money..."

While he was speaking, Jiang Chen caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, unexpectedly entering his line of sight.

His heart skipped a beat.

Damn.

Was she really lingering like a bad spirit?!

The girl who was walking this way from a distance was none other than Vera.

It was no surprise to see her here since she was likely staying at the MGM.

Seeing that she hadn’t noticed him yet, Jiang Chen quickly said, "Brother Bai, move over a bit."

He wanted Bai Haoran to block him from view.

A puzzled Bai Haoran, sensing that Jiang Chen was trying to hide from something, instinctively glanced back.

And it was that glance that caused trouble.

Vera, who had been on her own and hadn’t been paying attention, intending to just pass by, was drawn to look their way due to Bai Haoran’s gaze.

Then she saw someone trying to squeeze into the crowd, attempting to hide themselves among the people.

Vera’s steps slowed just a bit, and her amber eyes flickered as she changed direction.

"Clack, clack, clack..."

The steady sound of high heels approached from a distance, difficult to completely obscure even in the noisy environment.

You had to admit, the girl was bold; alone, she dared to venture into a place like a casino.

But it also made sense.

To protect their business, casinos definitely wouldn’t allow any disturbances; in a way, casinos could be considered very safe places.

"Young Master Jiang, there’s a lady coming this way," someone said.

What lady.

That was clearly just a kid.

Jiang Chen felt helpless.

So he had been spotted anyway?

"Jiang, what a coincidence, you’re here too," she remarked.

As expected.

This girl really knew how to act.

As if last night’s incident had never happened.

Since he couldn’t escape, Jiang Chen could only turn around, "Aren’t you working today?"

Seeing the two recognized each other, Bai Haoran quietly moved to the side.

The smile on Vera’s face faltered when she heard his question, then returned to normal.

"I’m off work today."

Jiang Chen had no leisure to exchange pleasantries with her. Taking advantage of the fact that Li Shuru and Xue Yali were still placing their bets on the gambling table and hadn’t noticed the activity here, he quickly said to Bai Haoran, "Brother Bai, could you please call the security staff?"

Not just Vera, even Bai Haoran was a little confused.

But Bai Haoran always followed Jiang Chen’s instructions.

Soon, two tall men followed him over.

Black suits, earpieces, intimidating and formidable.

"Sir, is there an issue?"

Jiang Chen, expressionless, pointed at Vera and said succinctly under her stunned gaze, "She’s underage."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The air seemed to fall silent all at once.

"You..."

Vera clenched her fist involuntarily.

Of course, Jiang Chen did not understand the laws of Las Vegas, but even if the laws here were lax enough to legally run casinos, surely underage individuals weren’t allowed to enter such places?

Last night when the girl was huddled in bed, he had heard her say if he did anything, he would be jailed.

The two robust men shifted their gaze, focusing their tiger-like eyes on Vera’s face.

"Miss, please come with us," they said.

Vera gritted her teeth, not creating a scene; she turned and left, but not without casting a hateful look at Jiang Chen before she did.

Jiang Chen acted as if he saw nothing.

"Young Master Jiang, she is..." As the security staff and Vera left, Bai Haoran withdrew his gaze, curiosity evident.

"A spoiled child," Jiang Chen summed it up in one sentence.

Bai Haoran didn’t ask any further questions.

"Brother-in-law, we’ve won a couple thousand US dollars again!"

A few minutes later, Xue Yali joyfully reported the good news.

"Impressive," Jiang Chen said sincerely.

Indeed.

Is there any trick to gambling?

Look, even blindly betting can win money.

"It has nothing to do with me, it’s all because my sister has sharp eyes."

"Then you’ll have to share half your winnings with her," Jiang Chen teased.

"Can’t you be less stingy?" Li Shuru slapped his shoulder.

Gambling can drag so many people into the abyss of ruin and bankruptcy for a reason; the two girls, who were first-timers, were gradually getting hooked.

Although the sisters weren’t really good at gambling, they were smart in one aspect, knowing the principle of "hit and run," never lingering too long at one table. After winning a few thousand US dollars, they began to move to another spot.

Jiang Chen followed patiently, and at the same time, he felt relieved that he had cleverly sent Vera away. If Li Shuru had encountered her, it might have been troublesome.

But obviously.

He was happy too soon.

Or rather.

He had underestimated the other party’s capabilities.

"Cough."

A light cough came from behind Bai Haoran.

At the same time, Jiang Chen, who was enjoying watching the two women "break all strategies with luck," felt a pat on his shoulder.

Jiang Chen instinctively turned his head, then froze.

Vera, who was clearly escorted away by the security guards, incredibly reappeared behind him and with her red lips slightly parting, she said,

"Surprize"

Jiang Chen couldn’t believe it.

How did she come back?!

"You..."

He looked around and didn’t find any security personnel.

Could it be that she was escorted out and then sneaked back in?

Impossible.

As one of the world’s top casinos, the security measures shouldn’t be so flawed to let someone who was kicked out sneak back in.

What exactly happened?

Or did she say she was underage, and that was also a lie?

"I think we shouldn’t call security again. Look at all these people here, they are working hard to maintain order," Vera advised kindly.

"Why are you still here?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Vera smiled innocently, her face free of guile; if she removed her makeup and changed into a school uniform, she might indeed fit the underage image she claimed.

"Because I’m an internal employee of MGM, you know, an internal employee can take shortcuts," she said.

This reason left Jiang Chen at a loss for words.

"What are you playing? Can I play with you?"

Jiang Chen replied without thinking, "No."

He was now too lazy to figure out which of her words were true and which were false.

"There are so many other tables, go play somewhere else."

Vera, as if she hadn’t heard, didn’t move, "But playing by myself is so boring."

Jiang Chen really wanted to say, what does your boredom have to do with me? But he didn’t own the casino and had no authority to send her away.

As for finding the casino.

That had already been tried.

"Brother-in-law, who is this?"

Xue Yali’s voice chimed in.

Jiang Chen exhaled lightly in resignation, about to introduce them, but Vera, with her amber eyes shifting towards the two sisters, quickly introduced herself with a smile, "Hello, my name is Vera, and I just met Jiang."

She didn’t seem like an outsider at all.

But for this very reason, Jiang Chen had already had a taste of it in Beverly Hills.

Seeing Li Shuru looking at him, Jiang Chen could only nod and force a smile in agreement, "Um, Miss Vera and I met in Los Angeles."

"Hi, I’m Xue Yali."

The two exchanged friendly smiles. Then, Vera’s gaze shifted towards Li Shuru.

Li Shuru was certainly not shy; locking eyes, she elegantly pursed her lips, revealing a polite and friendly smile, "Li Shuru, a pleasure to meet you."

"Are you Jiang’s girlfriend? You’re very beautiful," Vera admired.

Jiang Chen coughed lightly. Unable to send Vera away, he wanted to take the Li sisters away, but he never got the chance to speak.

"Can I play with you?"

Vera looked sincerely hopeful as she faced Li Shuru, her gorgeous amber eyes brimming with expectation.

Jiang Chen’s eyes twitched, feeling trouble was imminent.

Sure enough.

"Of course, you can."
