Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Clearly, the two men were shocked by the stakes laid out before them.

These two men were just ordinary guys, far from meeting Li Tingting's standards for a partner.

The gambling round worth two million RMB started again, and as the tall, skinny young man across them began dealing the cards, his expression shifted ever so slightly. This time, Li Tingting made the first move, speaking softly,

"You're not having good luck, I'll open this round for you."

Seeing the other party nod, Li Tingting took a deep breath, extended her tender, fair hand, and gently flipped over the playing cards before her.

The card's face was high, at least much higher than any of Chu Mo's previous hands. Just as Li Tingting thought she had the winning hand, Yin Yao also revealed his cards, and then, without any suspense, he won the round again.

"Sorry, Brother Chu, I've won this round again."

This was Yin Yao's tenth consecutive win.

This could no longer be described as mere good luck. Even Yin Yao's girlfriend, Li Xin, the tall woman, had a hint of doubt creeping onto her face.

The entire private room was silent. Chu Mo, who had just lost another two million, didn't seem to care. He picked up his phone, transferred another two million RMB to the other party, put down his phone, and then spoke,

"Brother Yin is really lucky, I wonder if you can manage to win all the pocket change in my phone. Continue, the next round is for ten million!"

As Chu Mo finished speaking, Yin Yao's relaxed face across him stiffened briefly, with a hint of panic appearing in his eyes.

Having just lost two million RMB, if it were anyone else, even if they wouldn't default on the bet, they would certainly feel some pain. But Chu Mo, on the other side, showed no such feeling. On the contrary, he was exuding immense confidence and composure, as if what he'd just lost was not two million, but merely two hundred.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room had become exceedingly strange. Zhao Hongsen's two male companions had retreated to one side. Zhao Hongsen had come out earlier to persuade the two, but now, he realized that Chu Mo was no ordinary man—with pocket change amounting to millions and tens of millions in his phone, such a person didn't need any concern from him.

Among the four girls, Li Xin, who had originally been full of animosity toward Li Tingting, now had an envious look in her eyes. During her school years, she had been overshadowed by Li Tingting in every aspect and thought she could make up for it through her boyfriend.

But now, seeing her boyfriend being careful after winning money, while Chu Mo, who lost money, remained indifferent, she knew that even her much-prided boyfriend was utterly defeated.

As for the other two girls, this scenario before them was like a battle of deities, far beyond their scope of participation.

Chu Mo's expression remained unchanged. After transferring two million RMB to the other party, he still looked as calm as still waters. On the other side, Yin Yao faced another tough choice. Having already won two million, the best course of action would be to quit while ahead. But seeing all the eyes in the room fixed on him, he knew that if he chose to end it, it would mean admitting defeat.

After taking a deep breath, as if determined, Yin Yao picked up the poker cards again.

The two men didn't continue speaking but communicated their intentions through their actions in hand.

Yin Yao continued to deal. Looking at the two cards before him, Chu Mo turned his gaze to Li Tingting beside him and said indifferently,

"Continue to reveal the cards for me."

"Ah...!" Li Tingting's widened eyes showed her breathing becoming slightly rapid. She looked at the two unspectacular cards before her but knew that they represented a bet of ten million. In the face of such a gamble, even with her family's wealth, she was far out of her depth. With her fingers trembling slightly, Li Tingting spoke softly,

"This is playing too big, I'm afraid I can't take the responsibility if I lose!"

Chu Mo looked at the cautious girl beside him and curled the corners of his mouth slightly,

"Whether you reveal the cards or I do, neither of us has any chance of beating Brother Yin. Just go ahead, if you lose, it's on me!"

Although Chu Mo was smiling, as his words fell, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees, and even Yin Yao's forehead was instantly beaded with cold sweat.

Indeed, after Li Tingting dealt the cards, Chu Mo still lost the hand!

This was already the eleventh consecutive win for Yin Yao.

At this point, even the other two girls had begun to notice that there was something off about the cards in Yin Yao's hand, but until now, no one had pointed it out.

Chu Mo transferred another ten million RMB to his opponent, and amidst the profuse sweating of Yin Yao across from him, he continued:

"Next hand, let's play for thirty million a round. After all, I still have tens of billions of RMB in spending money, Brother Yin, I won't let you go until you've won it all!"

His casual words fell, and although Chu Mo's tone was nonchalant, an invisible oppressive force had gradually enveloped the entire private room.

At this time, no one doubted that Chu Mo was boasting, nor did anyone suspect Chu Mo of pretending to be wealthier than he was.

A person who could declare tens of millions lost without batting an eye, when he says he has tens of billions on his phone, it's beyond the point of disbelief.

And at this time, as the only winner, Yin Yao's forehead began to drip with sweat. By now, he was no longer thinking about how to win more money, but how to end the game having offended a major boss like this.

If today's events don't come to a smooth close, he probably won't even be able to walk out of this private room.

In this moment, not a trace of pride or nonchalance could be found in Yin Yao's eyes; instead, his entire demeanor had become restrained and respectful.

With stakes of thirty million at play, Yin Yao knew that he could only keep winning; if he lost even once, not only would he be ruined, but his entire family's assets wouldn't cover the debt.

Yin Yao understood that at this point, everyone in the room was suspecting him of cheating, they just hadn't caught him yet. Cheating is cheating, after all; there's no way he could have won eleven rounds in a row otherwise. From his initial proud smugness to his current regret, Yin Yao realized that he had truly met his match today.

But as easy as it is to win money, the difficulty lies in how he could leave this vacation safe and sound.

A person who casually throws around tens of millions, a person who, when in the mood, can lose tens of billions without a second thought, is this really someone he should be provoking?

Such a person, even if they were the richest, surely wouldn't be able to lose tens of billions without blinking, right?

And himself, having won against such a person through disgraceful methods— he didn't need to think with his butt to know that the outcome couldn't possibly be wonderful.

With his forehead drenched in sweat and a morose expression, Yin Yao once again won the thirty million bet. Chu Mo, without hesitation, raised the stakes to a billion. Finally, unable to bear it anymore, Yin Yao said cautiously with a full face of care:

"Brother Chu, it's my fault for being ignorant. Altogether, I have won four hundred and twenty-five million. Let's make this round's bet four hundred and twenty million plus fifty million, please be generous, Brother Chu. It's my fault for being ignorant!"

As Yin Yao, his forehead slick with sweat, pleaded desperately, his girlfriend Li Xin also had a bitter look on her face. It was apparent that this tall woman had realized that in front of Chu Mo, her boyfriend who she had been so proud of really amounted to nothing.

Clearly, Yin Yao had won until his heart trembled and took the initiative to back down. Chu Mo turned his gaze to Li Tingting beside him and saw her cheeks flushed with enticing rosiness, and a flicker of something unusual in her eyes. He decided not to continue further.

Just as Zhao Hongsen had said, the four girls were the main characters of this gathering, and the men were only supporting roles. If Chu Mo pressed on, it would end in discord, which was probably not what the girls wanted to see.

Since the other party had conceded, Chu Mo wasn't overly aggressive. He smiled and said:

"Since that's the case, let's make this round's bet four hundred and thirty million."

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the entire private room immediately relaxed a lot. At this moment, as a cautious Yin Yao dealt the cards again, Chu Mo said indifferently:

"Tingting, we must win this time, reveal the cards!"
