Chapter 228: Chapter 228: I Bet My Wife, What Will You Bet?

"Alright, it’s about time. We can start the tradition of the Five Veins of the Plum Blossom now."

After a tour.

Zhou Bin, with his sunglasses back on, put his hands on his hips.

However, this statement made Zheng Tianxiang’s face change as he returned to Lin Fan’s side.

He couldn’t help but lower his head again.

"Mr. Zheng, what is this all about?"

Lin Fan noticed his concern and asked curiously.

"Ah, it’s nothing but a scheme to swindle me out of my money."

Zheng Tianxiang sighed helplessly, "After each artifact appraisal, the Five Veins of the Plum Blossom would have an internal competition to determine which artifact is the most valuable. Since my vein has lost a lot of information, I cannot compete with their knowledge. So, every time we bet internally, they calculate ways to outsmart me."

"If you know you’ll lose, then don’t play."

Zhao Jiaqi said disdainfully.

But Zheng Tianxiang shook his head, "I can afford to lose, but I cannot afford not to bet, otherwise, the Zheng Family of the Netherworld would be completely expelled by the other four veins."

"I have a question. Does this so-called ’most valuable’ refer to the auction price, or does it refer to the real value of the artifact?"

Lin Fan furrowed his brow and asked curiously.

"Of course, it is according to the real value. Before each auction starts, the Holy Maiden identifies the most valuable item of the session. After all, the Holy Maiden’s appraisal ability is the orthodox method among the Five Veins, so whatever she identifies must be the best."

Zheng Tianxiang murmured with a dejected tone.

Because it meant he was going to lose money again.

"So that’s what it is. Now it gets interesting."

Lin Fan said with a smile, rubbing his chin.

Just then, Zhou Bin had already approached with the heirs of the other veins.

"Mr. Zheng, we’ve all written our slips. It’s just your turn now. How much are you willing to bet this time?"

Mockingly looking at Zheng Tianxiang, Zhou Bin shook the palm-sized iron box in his hand.

They would write down the most valuable item on slips of paper, and place them inside.

After being authenticated by the Holy Maiden.

The iron box would be opened, and the slips taken out.

To calculate the winners and losers.

"I... bet one million."

Zheng Tianxiang clenched his teeth and reached for paper and pen.

Because he knew that with his judgment,

he could not possibly win over the other four veins.

"A million? Are you planning to solicit beggars?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bin directly avoided Zheng Tianxiang’s hand. "We each bet ten million. Either you participate, or you get lost. From then on, Plum Blossom will have only four veins."

"Ten million!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianxiang revealed a hint of surprise.

Even as the number one tough guy in Jiangning, he wasn’t one to casually spend ten million.

More importantly, he knew this money was essentially being given away.

Division of money so unclear and murky.

No one would want it.

"What’s the matter? The Zheng Family of the Netherworld was once the leader of the Five Veins. How come your generation lacks even this bit of courage? If you can’t afford to bet, you might as well give up the title of the Netherworld vein; from then on, the Plum Blossom bloodline and your kind of trash will have no connection whatsoever."

Zhou Bin boasted arrogantly with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.

But before Zheng Tianxiang could make up his mind,

Lin Fan reached out and grabbed the iron box.

"Since I’ve come across such an interesting game, I must participate too. I’ll write the slip for this bet."

Weighing the iron box in his hands, Lin Fan looked at Zheng Tianxiang with a smiling gaze.

Although he showed a flash of surprise on his face,

he eventually nodded, "Alright, Lin Fan will write the answer for me. I’m in on this bet."

Lin Fan’s medical ability was beyond doubt.

But whether he was any good at artifact appraisal, a matter unrelated to medicine,

was unknown.

But just because he once saved his own life,

he was definitely willing to put up ten million.

"What the hell are you, and what gives you the right to interfere in the affairs of the Plum Blossom Five Veins?"

Zhou Bin glared fiercely at Lin Fan.

However, no matter how fierce his eyes were, they were blocked by sunglasses.

"So the Plum Blossom Five Veins are such cowards, not even daring to accept my bet, yet they dare call themselves experts in appraising treasures. That’s just laughable."

Lin Fan sneered.

"Don’t try to provoke me with your reverse psychology; it won’t work on me."

Zhou Bin sneered, "If you want to play, then play with me alone."

"How do you want to play?"

Lin Fan looked at Zhou Bin with a smile.

His eyes, however, had already drifted over to Zhao Jiaqi who was standing beside him.

"Since it’s a test of eyesight, let’s truly compare. Let’s each write down the most valuable item in this auction and see how much you dare to bet with me. I’m warning you, I don’t play games with beggars."

"Alright, I’ll play with you."

As Lin Fan spoke, he directly wrapped his arm around Zhao Jiaqi’s shoulders.

"I don’t have much money, so I’ll just bet my wife."

"Hey, who’s your wife!"

Zhao Jiaqi shivered and quickly tried to break free.

"Everyone heard that you’re my wife. Besides, do you think you can leave Holy Maiden Hall without my protection?"

Lin Fan whispered in Zhao Jiaqi’s ear with a smile.

That comment immediately snuffed out her anger.

If she had known what it was like, she wouldn’t have come.

"Fine, you said it yourself. If you lose, she’s mine," Zhou Bin said, his smile splitting his face.

He had been eyeing Zhao Jiaqi for more than just a day.

"We’ll talk about winning and losing later. I’m betting my wife, what will you bet? I’m telling you, my wife’s face and figure are top-notch. If you offer too little, I won’t play with you."

Lin Fan held Zhao Jiaqi close with a mischievous grin.

"So, how much do you think she’s worth?"

Zhou Bin licked his lips, almost certain he knew what the treasure was in this game.

So, everything was basically free for him.

"Mr. Zheng, how much money did these guys cheat you out of before?"

Lin Fan didn’t answer but turned to look at Zheng Tianxiang.

"About... fifty million."

Zheng Tianxiang said, lowering his head awkwardly.

The bets had kept getting bigger in several gambling rounds.

All in all, it had already cost him tens of millions.

"Alright, then I’ll bet fifty million," Lin Fan said, stretching out five fingers.

"Are you crazy? Even if she was made of gold, she wouldn’t be worth fifty million; you’re asking for the moon!"

Zhou Bin glared at Zhao Jiaqi as he spoke.

Even if it was a nearly certain bet.

The wager wasn’t just a wild claim.

"Whether she’s worth that is my business, and let me also responsibly inform you, she’s still a virgin. I’ve heard that the fourth-floor guest rooms here are quite comfortable. If you’re not willing, I might just hold her close and sleep tonight."

Lin Fan grinned cheekily and squeezed his eyes together.

A single sentence nearly made Zhou Bin spit blood.

As for Zhao Jiaqi beside him, her beautiful face had turned as red as an apple.

Clearly, he was telling the truth.

"Fine, although she’s not worth that much money, I’ll take that bet!"

Zhou Bin, practically wanting to execute Zhao Jiaqi on the spot,

immediately said through clenched teeth.

"You say it’s a bet, but let’s not forget, it’s fifty million. I need someone to witness it."

Lin Fan smiled and turned his head to look upstairs, "Holy Maiden, could you help be a witness?"
