Chapter 581: 493 Cheating_2

She was somewhat surprised and then replied coldly, "What do you want?"

"Come with me."

Jiang Chen pulled her to a deserted spot and quickly said, "Do me a favor."

"I won’t help."

Vera answered decisively, without any hesitation.

"You said we were friends."

"You also said we weren’t."

Jiang Chen had no time to bicker with this girl.

"You’re acquainted with the casino, aren’t you?"

He got straight to the point.

"Don’t talk nonsense, how could I possibly know them?"

Vera denied it immediately.

"You don’t know them, yet you can bet so accurately? And the casino hasn’t kicked you out?"

Actually, when the casino staff approached him in the lobby, he had realized something was amiss, but he chose not to expose it.

"What evidence do you have? Show me the evidence." Vera was quite composed.

"I’m not here to trouble you. You help me, and you can name your condition."

At this point, Vera didn’t rush to refuse, her amber eyes turning, "What kind of favor?"

"Help me win against someone."

That’s right.

Lack of strength didn’t matter if you could "cheat"!

This girl even miraculously bet on a four; helping him win a few hands of Texas Hold’em would be a piece of cake, right?

Great achievers don’t dwell on the details.

To reach an objective, using some means is entirely justifiable.

Vera scoffed.

"Oh, I see. But who was the one who just told me to stay away?"

Jiang Chen ignored her, "This shouldn’t be too difficult for you."

By this time, Vera didn’t deny it anymore and lazily asked, "But why should I help you?"

"Like I said, whatever condition you have, you name it."

Vera looked at him meaningfully for a moment.

"But I haven’t decided yet. Can I keep it for later?"

"That’s fine."

Jiang Chen nodded quickly, he couldn’t delay too long here, "Then let’s go."

"Wait a minute."

Vera stood still, uncertain, "But what if you go back on your word?"

You think everyone is like you, huh!

Jiang Chen nearly blurted out, but at this moment, it was undoubtedly not the time to offend her.

"We Shenzhou people always keep our promises, of course, provided it’s within my capabilities and does not violate laws and morals..."

Vera laughed.

"Enough, don’t make yourself out to be some good guy. You’re resorting to deceit in a card game; do you think you’re noble?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes twitched.

You were cheating in the lobby, weren’t you?

However, he didn’t retort and calmly said, "Can we go now?"

"Fine, let’s go."

Vera nodded haughtily and followed Jiang Chen to exchange for twenty million in chips before returning to the table.

However, she didn’t stand beside Jiang Chen; she stood with the onlookers, even Li Shuru and the others didn’t notice her.

"How much more did you exchange?" Li Shuru asked.

"Twenty million US dollars. If I lose, I’ll stop playing."

Jiang Chen sat down again,

Xue Yali was secretly astounded, finally understanding what the world of the wealthy was like.

Jiang Chen glanced inconspicuously at Vera in the crowd, then signaled the croupier to rejoin the game.

His fingers gently tapped the table, waiting for the current round to end.

Although the girl had agreed to help, Jiang Chen still couldn’t completely trust her words.

She wouldn’t screw him over, right?

"Smith wins with a full house, Smith takes the round."

The man with the hawkish nose from England just won five million US dollars this round.

A new round began, with six players at the table.

Two hole cards were dealt in front of him; Jiang Chen looked at Vera and found that she didn’t exchange any glances with him, in fact, she didn’t even seem to look his way at all.

Jiang Chen wasn’t in a hurry; after all, having just left and returned, immediately winning big would raise suspicion in anybody.

He played several rounds by the book.

After exchanging chips, it seemed his luck had indeed gotten better; he had won three million US dollars on his own.

But glancing at Song Chaoge’s stack, it looked to be about twenty to thirty million in chips.

"Check."

"Mr. Jiang, it’s your turn to speak."

His hole cards were a Jack of Hearts and an 8 of Hearts.

Jiang Chen, as a matter of course, called out, "Check."

"Raise 500,000."

The coffee-skinned female singer Gelei chose to raise the bet.

The old Saudi man folded.

Song Chaoge leaned forward, tossing out his chips, "Call."

"Raise a million more."

The Russian tycoon Yevgeny, who wasn’t much ahead of Jiang Chen, seemed to have a good hand.

The man with the hawk nose, Smith, took a puff of his cigar, "I fold."

Jiang Chen intended to play conservatively and fold as well, but suddenly, he felt a gaze upon him.

It was Vera,

Though they couldn’t communicate verbally, Jiang Chen understood her look!

The gesture of folding stopped; his hand continued forward, grabbing a few chips instead.

"Call."

"I’ll call too."

"Check."

The four of them moved into the next round.

The three community cards were dealt.

They were the Queen of Diamonds, the Nine of Hearts, and the Six of Clubs.

After watching for so long, Li Shuru had roughly understood some of it, Jiang Chen’s current two hole cards were the Jack of Hearts and the Eight of Hearts, he could go for a straight, or even a straight flush!

"Raise a million."

The first to speak, Jiang Chen threw out a casino chip worth five hundred thousand US dollars.

"Raise it by a million."

The female singer Gelei raised again.

"Call."

Song Chaoge chose to call, it seemed everyone’s hands were pretty good.

"Raise it by another two million."

Yevgeny, without any change in his expression, tossed his chips into the pot one by one.

All eyes were involuntarily drawn to him.

Although the Russian tycoon was imposing, Jiang Chen, who received a look from Vera, wouldn’t care.

"Call."

He didn’t hesitate.

No matter how much was raised, he was going to call to the end.

The female singer Gelei fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, fell silent for a while, then shook her head and folded.

Jiang Chen looked towards Song Chaoge.

He wasn’t disappointed.

"Call."

The other party adjusted his glasses, his casual demeanor exuded a nonchalance towards money, as he picked up the chips and tossed them into the pot.

"Check."

The fourth community card was dealt.

The Ten of Hearts.

Indeed!

That chick was reliable at times!

He now had a straight, and if another Seven of Hearts came up, that would make a straight flush!

This was by far his best hand yet.

Of course.

Jiang Chen was well aware of the principle of not letting emotions show at the poker table, he gently stroked his hole cards with his fingertips, with no emotional fluctuation on his face.

"Raise a million."

He chose to raise once more.

Apart from him, only Song Chaoge and Yevgeny remained.

"Call."

Song Chaoge didn’t disappoint.

"Raise another two million," Yevgeny spoke.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but glance at him again.

What cards did this Russian tycoon have?

So confident?

"Mr. Jiang, it’s your turn to speak."

"Call."

Certain that the last community card was the Seven of Hearts, Jiang Chen threw out his chips.

Song Chaoge tapped his fingers lightly on the table, then smiled faintly.

"You two play."

He folded his hand.

Jiang Chen was a bit regretful, but it was enough, this round, Song Chaoge had already been sunk by six million US dollars.

The final two moved into the last round.

The last community card was dealt.

The black suit was particularly glaring under the lights.

It wasn’t a Heart!

It wasn’t even a Seven!

But a

King of Clubs!

Now, the five community cards stood as the King of Clubs, the Queen of Diamonds, the Ten of Hearts, the Nine of Hearts, and the Six of Clubs.

Jiang Chen’s eyelid twitched.

The straight flush he had anticipated did not materialize, and with his two hole cards, the Jack of Hearts and the Eight of Hearts, he could only form a regular straight!

Obviously.

He had been tricked by that chick Vera!

"Mr. Jiang, it’s your turn to speak."

Jiang Chen knew, at this time, that he couldn’t show it, he had to steel himself and raise another million.

Yevgeny looked at the community cards, then at Jiang Chen, who had been raising all the way to the end, but this time he surprisingly chose to call.

"Please reveal your cards," the croupier prompted.

Jiang Chen slowly flipped over his hole cards.

"King of Clubs, Queen of Diamonds, Jack of Hearts, Ten of Hearts, Nine of Hearts, Mr. Jiang has a straight. Mr. Yevgeny, please reveal your cards."

"So, the Jack of Hearts was really in your hand."

Yevgeny revealed his hand.

It was the Queen of Hearts and a Jack of Diamonds.

"King of Clubs, Queen of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, Ten of Hearts, Nine of Hearts, Yevgeny has a straight."

"How come it’s the same straight?" Xue Yali asked in surprise, "Then how do you determine who wins?"

The croupier quickly gave her the answer.

"Both hands are identical, the round is a draw."
