Chapter 825: 611 haha

"Um."

Jiang Chen knew the conversation should be over by now. Understanding the situation well, he sent a [moon] emoji.

The other side responded with a [sun].

With a time difference of several hours, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle and put the phone down.

He sat on the sofa, absentmindedly turned on the TV, and wiped his hair.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

The sound of the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

Jiang Chen turned his head, a feeling of foreboding suddenly sprouting in his heart, so he remained seated on the sofa, not moving.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

The doorbell persisted.

Jiang Chen put down the towel and could only get up, walk to the door, and hesitated before finally opening it.

"Hi."

The person outside immediately burst into a brilliant smile.

Jiang Chen’s brow twitched, his heart sinking slightly.

"It seems we really are fated."

The smile of the person was bright, so different from their earlier encounter downstairs.

No doubt.

The only foreign girl he knew, apart from that Beverly Hills encounter and the Vera who helped him cheat at the Las Vegas casino, who else could it be!

Before, Jiang Chen thought she had forgotten about him, but now he realized her memory was not much worse than his.

It must have been deliberate downstairs.

"It is indeed quite a coincidence."

Regardless, the person had once helped him. If not for her robust support, he would never have won that epic gamble. Knowing how to repay kindness, Jiang Chen also quickly offered a polite smile.

"How did you end up in Haojiang?"

Vera, seemingly unconcerned, glanced into the room, "Are you alone?"

Jiang Chen obviously understood her implication, and although he was not very keen, he stepped aside, "Come in and let’s talk."

Vera passed by him and boldly entered the room.

Being alone in a man’s room in a foreign land and without any bodyguards was not a rational act, but Jiang Chen had long understood this girl’s character.

And.

She was "underage," what was there to fear?

Jiang Chen glanced outside intentionally and saw no bodyguards in the corridor.

Presumably, the girl had deliberately come alone.

Pretending not to recognize him downstairs was probably to avoid being noticed.

"Bang."

Jiang Chen closed the door.

"Who would’ve thought the world could be so small." Vera looked around the room casually, then turned, "What brings you to Haojiang?"

Please.

He had asked that question first.

Besides, this was Shenzhou.

In comparison, she, a foreigner coming all the way to Haojiang, her motives were more worth scrutinizing.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders.

"Don’t tell me you’re here to gamble." Vera said unkindly, "Your skills are so poor."

"..."

Jiang Chen was left speechless.

True.

Despite having won an astronomical gambling bet, he certainly couldn’t boast about this achievement in front of her.

"I’m here for tourism."

Jiang Chen replied.

Vera scoffed, her expression one of seeing right through Jiang Chen, "Haojiang is most famous for its women and casinos, you’re staying alone in a hotel, and moreover in the only Mandarin Oriental without a casino, and you say you’re here for tourism? You must be kidding."

You’re just a kid, aren’t you.

After several months, Jiang Chen reckoned this girl probably still hadn’t reached adulthood.

"Who says Haojiang is all about women and casinos? Have you tried the local pork chop bun? If not, I seriously recommend it, the taste is quite good..."

"Are you here for those three gambling cards?"

Vera cut to the chase.

Jiang Chen stopped short, maintaining a composed face but puzzled, convincingly responded, "What gambling cards?"

Vera stayed silent, just looking at him with a mocking expression.

It had to be admitted, being seen through by an underage individual was not a pleasant feeling. However, the act had to be performed completely.

"What is this gambling license you’re talking about?"

Vera sat down on the sofa, ignoring Jiang Chen’s words, "If you’re here for the He Family’s gambling license too, we might be able to talk."

Jiang Chen gave nothing away.

Although he hadn’t asked anything, the purpose of this girl’s visit to Haojiang had already become evident,

even if her specific background was unclear. At the very least, Jiang Chen understood that this girl was definitely deeply connected with the casinos in Las Vegas.

It appeared that the soon-to-expire gambling license of the He Family had indeed attracted numerous guests from both domestic and international fronts.

"You said it yourself, my gambling skills are terrible. How could I possibly be interested in any gambling license?"

Jiang Chen said casually.

"The smartest gamblers never sit down at the table. That gambling king from Haojiang before, were his gambling skills any good? He was just a rookie too."

Vera stated nonchalantly, dismissive.

Jiang Chen cleared his throat, reminding her, "This is Haojiang, not Las Vegas. You’d better watch what you say."

Vera propped her chin, her beautiful amber eyes staring straight at Jiang Chen, "Admitted it?"

"Admit what?"

Jiang Chen immediately said, looking utterly confused.

"Fine, let’s talk about something else then."

Vera, possibly deceived by his acting, did not persist on the topic.

She spread out her pale, tender palm toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s expression grew even more puzzled. "What for?"

"In Las Vegas, I helped you win so much money, shouldn’t you..."

Vera’s ivory-like fingers curled slightly.

"..."

He thought she had forgotten about it.

"You came to Haojiang for the He Family’s gambling license?" Jiang Chen quickly redirected the topic.

This time Vera didn’t bite, unmoved, she simply stated: "Split the money!"

Jiang Chen cleared his throat, revealing a hint of helplessness, "Why didn’t you come at that time? I lost the money at another casino the next day."

Vera widened her eyes, seemingly unprepared for such shamelessness.

Jiang Chen, composed and unembarrassed, continued shamelessly, "How about this, next time I go to Las Vegas I’ll contact you and we continue to cooperate, splitting the profits fifty-fifty..."

Vera was at a loss for words.

She had seen shameless people, but not anyone this shameless.

Her chest, disproportionately mature for her age, heaved intensely. She was not here in Haojiang merely for fun this time.

"Fine, I’ll tell you, this time there are many interested in those three gambling licenses, and no one can monopolize them entirely. If you’re here for those three licenses too, the best approach would be to find partners."

While she spoke, she watched Jiang Chen’s expression, unconcerned about the dirty money.

Jiang Chen remained unresponsive.

Vera couldn’t help feeling suspicious.

Could she have really guessed wrong?

Was this guy’s presence in Haojiang merely a coincidence?

But her intuition reminded her that this was almost impossible.

Perhaps others were unaware of this guy’s background. But she was different.

This guy was no ordinary law-abiding citizen. Last time he slipped out of The East, he had caused Wall Street to be in an uproar, nearly causing the K.E Corporation to collapse. His appearance in Haojiang this time definitely had a purpose.

Yet without his admission, there was nothing she could do.

"If you change your mind, you can find me, of course, that is if I haven’t found a better partner by then."

Vera half-reminded, half-warned, not lingering further on the conversation, and stood up.

"I’ll see you out."

"..."

Vera, with a stern face, walked out of the room with Jiang Chen’s escort.

Stepping out the door, standing in the corridor, she turned back, intending to say something more, but the door was suddenly slammed shut before her.

"Bang!"

Vera, unable to tolerate any longer, picked up her covetable limited-edition high-heels and kicked the door.

Inside the room.

Jiang Chen didn’t hear the sound of the door being kicked, or perhaps he heard it but didn’t care.

After closing the door, he turned around, frowning in thought.

Vera’s true background was still unclear to him, but her daring to help him cheat in a Las Vegas casino spoke volumes of her capability.

Jiang Chen looked towards the sparkling lights of the Haojiang Tower out the window.

Just how many blood-scented predators had been drawn here by the three gambling licenses about to expire in the hands of the He
