Chapter 575: 491 Third target (5k)_3

"You don’t need to waste your precious time on me anymore. It might be more suitable to spend it on those people."

What Jiang Chen was referring to were the real-deal wealthy gamblers in the VIP room.

"Jiang..."

"Please, don’t follow us anymore."

Jiang Chen turned and left as soon as he finished speaking.

Vera really didn’t chase after him; she stood in her spot, mumbling to herself: "It’s just a hundred thousand US dollars, stingy. How come he doesn’t care about starting a financial war over a female celebrity..."

Jiang Chen, who had already left, of course didn’t hear what she was saying. When he returned to Li Shuru and the others, he smiled as if nothing had happened, "Do you still want to play? Here, it should be quite easy to win back a hundred thousand US dollars."

"What about her?" Li Shuru asked, obviously referring to Vera.

"It’s alright, don’t worry about her."

This wasn’t a good time for Jiang Chen to explain.

"How can you play with such bad luck."

Xue Yali shook her head without a second thought.

The most terrifying part of a gambler’s psychology is the belief that they can win back their money, which typically results in more losses until there’s no turning back.

"Maybe your luck has changed now?"

Jiang Chen laughed, "Trust me, right now, you definitely won’t be as unlucky as before."

"Better not."

Xue Yali clearly lost her confidence after the setback and probably wouldn’t come to a place like a casino ever again.

"Why don’t you try it yourself?"

Li Shuru looked at Jiang Chen, "Aren’t you pretty good at gambling?"

"Last time was just a fluke; the first time I gambled was with Sun Xiyu and the others on your birthday last year."

"Brother-in-law, a man shouldn’t say he can’t do it, both Sister and I believe in you," Xue Yali encouraged.

Jiang Chen let out a self-deprecating laugh, feeling a surge of competitiveness as he was watched by the two sisters. For a moment, he felt rather eager to try.

He indeed wasn’t good at gambling, but winning just a hundred thousand US dollars shouldn’t be too difficult.

Of course.

That was provided Vera didn’t tag along.

"Bai, help me go..."

Jiang Chen turned his head, about to instruct Bai Haoran to get more chips since they had lost the hundred thousand US dollars earlier, but in the middle of speaking, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a blurry yet somewhat familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Jangling inside, Jiang Chen instinctively looked over, then froze, even stopping mid-sentence.

There, sitting in the lounge area, was an unforgettable oriental woman, none other than the Blood Guanyin whom he’d had a few chance encounters with!

Jiang Chen’s face was filled with disbelief, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

He blinked.

She was still there.

No illusions.

Across the vast ocean, he had once again encountered this indescribable woman by chance.

"Mr. Jiang?"

Bai Haoran called out.

Jiang Chen steadied himself and realized that Li Shuru and Xue Yali were also looking at him strangely.

"Bai, look, who is that?"

Jiang Chen gave a glance towards the lounge area.

Bai Haoran turned around.

This ever-so-serious man’s reaction was even more intense than Jiang Chen’s, his eyes shook and his voice involuntarily trembled slightly, "Miss Lan?"

Understandable.

After all, Jiang Chen was an outsider.

But to someone like Bai Haoran, that woman’s name was tantamount to an immortal monument.

Indeed.

That woman was the Blood Guanyin, Lan Peizhi!

Bai Haoran’s reaction made Li Shuru and Xue Yali even more surprised; they looked over in unison.

Lan Peizhi wasn’t the type to astound people with her beauty, but her demeanor effortlessly penetrated people’s defenses, regardless of gender.

"Who is she?"

Li Shuru hadn’t thought there could be a woman like that in the world.

There were many women in the casino – she had seen plenty just a moment ago – but this woman was completely different. Despite being in a place brimming with material desires, she sat there exuding not a bit of vulgarity. The instant one’s gaze fell on her, everything around seemed to be automatically filtered out.

Bai Haoran didn’t even dare to directly call out her name.

"Lan Peizhi." Even at such a distance that she couldn’t possibly hear, Jiang Chen still lowered his voice and said a name. He wanted to explain further but didn’t know where to begin.

"Is she a celebrity? I feel like I’ve never seen her before." Xue Yali asked unconsciously.

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile and shook his head, "No."

"Do you know her?" Li Shuru turned around.

Jiang Chen hesitated, "Sort of."

"Quite a coincidence to run into her here," Li Shuru said.

"You can say that again," Jiang Chen murmured softly.

But then he thought, Las Vegas is the world’s foremost gambling city, attracting gamblers from all over the world everyday. If he could be here, why not Lan Peizhi?

"Shall we go say hello?"

"No need, she’s with a friend."

Jiang Chen noticed the man with the black-rimmed glasses next to her and instinctively determined that he was definitely not a bodyguard or a yes-man.

Of course.

He didn’t have the bandwidth to indulge in gossip and speculation.

There’s an unsolved conundrum in the scientific community that people seem to have a sixth sense for when they’re being watched.

The man with the black-rimmed glasses noticed Jiang Chen and company, "Auntie Lan, those people have been staring at you for quite a while."

Lan Peizhi casually turned her head and when she saw that young face twenty or thirty meters away, which she had a passing acquaintance with, she too was taken aback, a rare expression of astonishment crossing her usually unexpressive face.

Such an emotional fluctuation on her was already quite extraordinary.

The man with the black-rimmed glasses showed a hint of surprise and tentatively asked, "Auntie Lan, do you know them?"

"I’ve met them."

Lan Peizhi’s response was still simple and... precise.

"It really is fate to run into acquaintances here," the man with the black-rimmed glasses remarked.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Lan seems to have noticed us."

Just as Jiang Chen was about to leave, Bai Haoran spoke up as a reminder.

Jiang Chen instinctively looked over and indeed found that she was also looking in their direction.

Jiang Chen paused.

Would it be a bit inappropriate to leave now?

Just as Jiang Chen was somewhat hesitant...

A "ding" sounded.

Jiang Chen was taken aback at first, then as if struck by lightning, his face drastically changed.

Then.
