Shang Yan felt a chill run down her spine. Looking back, she saw no suspicious people. She had already eaten most of her tiramisu; it tasted alright. After all, if a pastry chef couldn’t even make good tiramisu, they might as well pack their bags and go back to farming.
The roulette wheel began to slow down, the ball spinning around the edge, the green numbers on the screen constantly changing. After spinning twice more around the edge, the ball bounced into the inner circle, instantly piquing the bettors’ interest.
The next moment, the white ball landed steadily on the red thirteen. Everyone around the table was stunned, because Shang Yan had bet on red thirteen.
With 720,000 chips and odds of 35, Shang Yan had won over 20 million this time. Adding her initial investment, she now had 30 million in hand.
She whistled in high spirits, grabbed a handful of chips from the table, placed them outside the line, and nodded and smiled at the dealer, “For the dealer.”
The dealer was shocked, and a little embarrassed by Shang Yan’s gesture. Forcibly suppressing her emotions, she subtly pressed the alarm to notify the monitoring room, while smiling and thanking Shang Yan.
Shang Yan was undoubtedly generous. Players on the first floor usually tipped the dealer one or a few chips, rarely exceeding five, but the handful of chips Shang Yan gave was already in the six figures.
The man standing next to her suddenly jumped, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest when he saw where the ball landed. He looked even more surprised than Shang Yan, almost jumping for joy.
Shang Yan comforted him, “Calm down, calm down.”
The man, his face flushed with surprise, was not satisfied with Shang Yan’s calm expression. “Girl, you won two hands in a row and you’re not even excited? Oh my heart, it makes me look like I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
She really thought so, but she didn’t say it.
After winning twice in a row, the way people looked at Shang Yan had changed from initial disdain to surprise and admiration. Many people even wanted to chat with her, thinking she had “connections.”
However, while some were flattering her, others were skeptical, suspecting that Shang Yan had cheated, especially the players who had placed bets. Their eyes were full of doubt and resentment.
“This is not scientific… this is not scientific!”
“How is this possible? Did you collude with the dealer, or do you have some high-tech methods? Otherwise, how could you win two hands?!”
The dealer: ∑(ﾟДﾟ) I’m a law-abiding citizen!
“Where’s the manager? Get the manager here! This girl is definitely cheating, like she’s in a movie, this is so fake!”
“Holy crap, I’m seriously fucked, is she possessed? She’s so good-for-nothing, I don’t believe she doesn’t have connections, she’s overdoing it with her bragging!”
“Wow! She really won! She really won!”
Cui Heyuan’s shock at this moment far exceeded his loss of the western suburbs development rights. He even shook his head, wondering if he had misheard or misread.
How could he be so awesome!
Xie Heng, as the winner, smiled leisurely, “Oh dear, I won by accident.”
Cui Heyuan glanced at him sideways, somewhat speechless. He got the advantage and still acted innocent. Only someone as shameless as Xie Heng could do that. But he only dared to think this in his heart and didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.
“Hey, something’s not right.”
Wei Yansi frowned as he looked at the increasingly chaotic scene downstairs. “That kid isn’t doing well. People probably suspect he has connections.”
Oh?
Xie Heng stepped forward and peered down.
The noise downstairs was intense. Shang Yan had originally wanted to leave after taking the chips, but she was stopped by the crowd, who demanded an explanation from her.
What explanation could she offer? It was just a matter of applying some basic physics principles: calculating the starting point and ending point of the ball, determining the angle the roulette wheel spun during that time, and then adding a bit of luck.
This group was incredibly noisy. The gambling table was already crowded, and this noise only drew in more onlookers. The casino hall was stuffy and smelly, and the huddled crowd made it even more uncomfortable.
Annoying, so incredibly annoying.
“Bang!”
The crowd suddenly fell silent. Shang Yan withdrew her leg from the table, looking impatiently at this group of pigs blocking her way. She had reached her limit; there was no need to endure it any longer.
“Quiet down! Do you think this is a vegetable market? What’s with all the noise? Can’t you handle losing? You think you can take advantage of others?”
“Have you never been to school? Haven’t you heard there are always people better than you? All of you dressed in gold and silver, making a scene over a little money, like screaming chickens? Aren’t you ashamed?”
These people were all used to being in positions of power, always taking their anger out on others. They’d never had the chance to be verbally abused like this. Now, being insulted by a little girl, they lost face and immediately flew into a rage.
“How dare you talk like that? Don’t you have any manners? Call your parents! This isn’t over!”
“Yeah, do you know who I am to talk like that? Who gave you the guts?!”
The eldest brother, who had been standing beside Shang Yan, stepped forward and shielded her behind him, clearly displeased with the others’ behavior towards the child.
“How old are you all, arguing with a child? She just won because she’s better. What’s the point of you making a scene here?”
Millions upon millions of dollars are not uncommon in a casino, especially in this one. The eldest brother truly didn’t understand why they were acting this way, making such a scene.
Shang Yan, protected behind him, said quietly, “Because they lost to a woman—a young woman at that.”
Hearing this, the eldest brother turned to look at her, his expression somewhat complicated.
The others, realizing their thoughts had been exposed, became even more enraged and started grumbling incessantly. Then Shang Yan kicked the gambling table again, the sound even louder than before, and the group fell silent again.
The dealer had already moved far away from the table, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
The older brother swallowed hard. Thank goodness he hadn’t provoked this young woman. If that one kick had hit someone, he wouldn’t need a driver tonight; he’d just have to wait for the ambulance.
Shang Yan coldly swept her gaze over the crowd, irritably pulling her hat off and putting it back on. “Are you going to let me leave or not? If you don’t, I’ll call the police and have them all arrested.”
The onlookers instantly dispersed. Watching the show was fine, but going to the police station was out of the question.
One person, still unconvinced, shouted, “You can only leave after the manager comes and confirms you haven’t broken any rules!”
The manager, as expected, arrived quickly, his first glance falling on Shang Yan, the legendary player who had won two hands in a row.
After receiving the dealer’s alert, they immediately reviewed all the security footage from every angle, slowing it down several times. Then they all fell silent, their faces showing utter disbelief.
They couldn’t see anything wrong; the young woman had only been playing on her phone and eating cake, making no suspicious moves whatsoever.
So there’s only one answer: this is the young girl’s real talent.
