Casinos have their own rules, and within such gambling games, let's talk about cheating for instance. It's a completely different concept if the croupier or the gambling parties involved discover the cheating.

Ye Huan didn't reveal her hidden card and conceded directly. Generally speaking, no matter the reason, no one has the right to see what that hidden card is.

The curiosity of the croupier, a beautiful lady, got the better of her and she sneaked a peek, only to find out that someone had cheated in the game. But the question was, which one of the two had cheated?

Just by looking at the cards, Qin Fang's hand was larger, so the likelihood of Ye Huan cheating was higher since she could only win if her hidden card was a Jack or a 7, making the odds of Ye Huan having cheated higher.

Similarly, for Qin Fang to win, it could only happen if Ye Huan's hidden card was neither a Jack nor a 7, with Qin Fang's hidden card being a Queen meaning a sure win, a Jack would choke off Ye Huan's chance of victory, and as for a 7, with four 7s in total and only one showing up, having another one turn up wouldn't make much difference.

So, in the end, Qin Fang's hidden card being either a Jack or a Queen would be the most advantageous for him…

As for the Queen, the beautiful croupier did have some recollection; she had glanced at the next card out of boredom during Qin Fang and Ye Huan's face-off. Wasn't that the very last Queen?

Had that card been switched, two identical Queens facing each other would prove that Qin Fang was the one cheating.

Of course, this had to be pointed out by Ye Huan for it to count. The croupier, being neutral and impartial alongside the on-site supervisor, couldn't favor anyone; otherwise, she would be suspected of cheating.

As for now, with two identical Jacks, it was impossible to prove who the cheater was. Even if she wanted to speak up, it would be as if she hadn't said anything.

She also understood why Ye Huan conceded; there was no turning it around. Qin Fang had dealt that card ahead of time. If she brought out another one, regardless of who cheated, she would be the unfortunate one.

"Young Master Qin, truly impressive…"

Ye Huan's loss this round was quite wrongful; even she didn't expect to lose in such a manner.

Although she knew Qin Fang cheated, she was helpless because she couldn't point out his cheating as she had imagined.

Naturally, Qin Fang wouldn't foolishly reveal that Ye Huan's hidden card was a Jack; that wouldn't benefit anyone.

As for switching her hidden card to a 7 at the last moment, that was even less likely. Considering the remaining cards, another three 7s were likely within the next eight cards. If she switched cards, it would be handing the handle to Qin Fang.

A woman like her cheating wouldn't result in her hand being chopped off, but she would need to lose this gambling round, which wasn't something she could afford, so in the end, she had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

"Mutual admiration, I suppose. Compared to Fairy Ye, I still have a clear gap!"

Qin Fang grinned, showing no excitement from the victory of this round of gambling.

Just as Ye Huan had schemed against him, in this round, Qin Fang merely used the same method to claim his victory... That's what he meant by mutual admiration.

"What does she mean by that?"

In fact, Chu Yunxuan had witnessed both rounds; when Qin Fang lost, she realized he was just pretending, but when Qin Fang immediately won against Ye Huan afterward, she furrowed her brow.

She leaned close to Qin Fang and, judging by Ye Huan's expression, it was clear that Qin Fang must have switched cards, yet she, so close at hand, hadn't detected anything, prompting her question.

"Her hidden card was a Jack!"

Qin Fang merely smiled, then whispered in Chu Yunxuan's ear.

Chu Yunxuan was momentarily stunned, but soon couldn't help laughing. Her facial expression was quite peculiar as she finally understood why Ye Huan had that expression when she conceded in the end.

When Qin Fang lost, he was indeed just pretending, but Ye Huan's loss was real, purely upset by Qin Fang's underhanded tactics, yet utterly powerless to do anything about it.

"You're really bad…"

Chu Yunxuan also whispered in Qin Fang's ear.

"This is called deceit in warfare!"

Qin Fang simply smiled lightly, saying that it was Ye Huan who had first been underhanded, so he, Qin Fang, was merely giving as good as he got. Who was right and who was wrong wasn't something anyone could clearly outline.

The gambling continued…

With both players having made such cautious moves, they became very cautious; generally, neither would make any obvious moves. If either side made any move, the other would surely back off.

Yet, Qin Fang's crafty move had indeed cost Ye Huan quite a bit. Even when using the "Guanyin Hand" technique, she was somewhat affected, gradually starting to make mistakes.

Such mistakes wouldn't matter in a game with ordinary people, but in a contest between masters, they could be fatal.

And so, with this ebbing and flowing, Qin Fang's luck unexpectedly started to edge out on top, and both players' chips gradually evened out, with Ye Huan's expression becoming somewhat anxious.

There was no helping it; as the end of the gambling approached, she still couldn't maintain an absolute advantage. In fact, she had been losing more than winning in the recent hands, while Qin Fang frequently had more chips than her.

"Fairy Ye, time is almost up. This will likely be the last round…"
