"Who says I can't produce it! It's just... It's just that I didn't bring my checkbook today!"

If this had happened on any other day, Li Feng would have just retorted to Chen Jiangnan's sarcasm verbally and not actually let it get to him.

But right now, standing before him was Qin Fang, a formerly destitute guy he had looked down upon, and Li Feng absolutely could not swallow his pride nor afford to lose face.

Otherwise, it would mean a complete defeat to Qin Fang. Even if Li Feng ultimately took Qin Fang down, the shame he suffered in front of Qin Fang would be an indelible stain in his life.

"Oh, is that so?"

Chen Jiangnan laughed playfully, yet his eyes did not show much change.

"It seems Young Master Li seldom comes to play at the Elite Salon. It doesn't matter if you didn't bring your checkbook, see over there... With your reputation, borrowing thirty to fifty million wouldn't be a problem at all... Rest assured, the lending here is legitimate, unlike some places, and the interest rate is just slightly higher than the bank's..."

Chen Jiangnan also pointed to a small room not far away. It was the Elite Salon's casino office where one could apply for some simple betting loans.

Everyone has times when they're short on cash, especially gambling enthusiasts. When you're engrossed in the game and suddenly realize you don't have enough money, you could borrow some there to tide you over.

Naturally, loans require interest. The interest rates at the Elite Salon aren't high, certainly not like those insinuated by Chen Jiangnan about the Bihai Pavilion, which are essentially usurious rates—after all, its backstage owner, Li Rui, is the boss of the Ninghai Underground, and of course, they would charge interest.

The amount of loan here also depends on the borrower's identity and the level of the VIP card. A regular VIP card could only borrow up to a few hundred thousand, a slightly higher level could borrow over a million, and even higher could loan tens of millions... The highest level could even borrow up to one hundred million directly.

Of course, such scenarios are unlikely. This place is just a small casino, providing recreational activities for its members. It's very rare to loan out millions, with only one or two instances in several years.

Hearing Chen Jiangnan say this, Li Feng couldn't help but feel tempted, considering that his VIP card was processed by his elder brother, Li Rui.

Li Rui's status is extraordinary. The card he held was the Platinum Card, second only to the ultimate Diamond Card, with only ten issued in the whole Ninghai, and to let Li Feng enjoy himself to the fullest, he had gotten Li Feng the same Platinum Card.

The Elite Salon wasn't worried about anything; as long as Li Rui didn't fall, Li Feng could do whatever he wanted in the Elite Salon...

"Hmph, just you wait..."

Li Feng was tempted and thinking of his luck today, which had been so good, and his opponent's skills were incredibly poor. It would be too much of a pity to let such a golden opportunity to win money slip away.

So Li Feng left with an assertive threat and headed towards that office, evidently planning to borrow some money for an emergency.

With his Platinum Card, even borrowing thirty to fifty million was no problem; the Elite Salon wasn't afraid he wouldn't repay the money. If they couldn't get it from Li Feng, they could always go to Li Rui!

Considering Li Rui's status and power, he wouldn't default for just thirty to fifty million...

"Qin Fang, this time for your sake, I've completely offended the Li brothers. You can't just leave me hanging and ignore me after crossing the river..."

As soon as Li Feng left, Chen Jiangnan immediately complained to Qin Fang. All this was strategically arranged by Qin Fang. Before coming here, Qin Fang had specifically asked Chen Jiangnan, and upon learning that Chen Jiangnan was at the Elite Salon, he asked him to stall Li Feng, preferably at the gambling table.

Whether to lose or win money didn't matter; if he won, it would be Chen Jiangnan's, and if he lost, it would count as Qin Fang's...

Ever since cooperating with Qin Fang last time and making a decent profit, Chen Jiangnan had been thinking about collaborating with Qin Fang again. He had learned a bit about the lithium battery company through Tang Cheng and knew it must be Qin Fang's doing, regretting that he was too aggressive before. Perhaps if he had taken a more sustainable approach, he might now have a chance to benefit from it.

But there was no proper opportunity, and then Qin Fang tasked him with this, considereing that he might offend the Li brothers. Yet, in today's society, it's the timid who starve and the bold who thrive.

While Li Rui was undoubtedly assertive, Qin Fang was no weaker. With Tang Cheng and Ning Weiqiang also involved, it was uncertain who would win or lose in a struggle between them.

With this in mind, Chen Jiangnan felt he should take a chance and thus immediately executed Qin Fang's request, holding Li Feng back until Qin Fang arrived. Together, they gave Li Feng a further push behind his back...

"Rest assured, you know what kind of person I am; I won't let you lose out!"

Qin Fang smiled. Chen Jiangnan had initially made Qin Fang quite wary, but upon further thought, he realized that Chen Jiangnan was aware of his own background and would not do anything too outrageous.

And since Chen Jiangnan had gone all out to help this time, Qin Fang really couldn't let him suffer a loss...

"The money is here, how do you want to bet?"

While they were talking, Li Feng came out of the office with a smile on his face, clearly having borrowed the money—of course, this was within Qin Fang's expectation.

In the Li Family, Li Feng might not hold a high status, but Li Rui took very good care of this younger brother. Li Feng used to frequent Bihai Pavilion, which was under Li Rui's control, and it was difficult for anything to happen to him there.

But this place is the Elite Salon, and even Li Rui wouldn't dare to do anything too outrageous here. It's just that Li Rui probably didn't anticipate Qin Fang using this fact to prepare to take down Li Feng this time.

"How should we play? Anything works! Do you think I, a man, would be scared..."

Chen Jiangnan had already made up his mind, he had already offended the Li brothers, so there was no need to be discreet. Just now, to make Li Feng happy, he had deliberately acted dumb and lost quite a bit of money to him. Now Li Feng had a much larger stake, and of course, Chen Jiangnan wanted to take some of it back first.

"However, it's too dull just for us two to play, let's find a few more to join..."

But Chen Jiangnan knew he was just a supporting role. When Qin Fang arrived, he could disappear, as the real protagonist was still Qin Fang.

"No problem. Am I, the young master, scared of you?"

Li Feng noticed that when Chen Jiangnan said this, he specifically glanced at Qin Fang beside him, seemingly intending to pull Qin Fang in as well.

In fact, Li Feng himself had considered using the goading strategy to instigate Qin Fang to gamble with him. Now that he was on a winning streak and Qin Fang held a deep grudge against him, it was impossible to take him down directly, but it's completely fine to win a big sum of money from Qin Fang...

It's just he himself didn't know that, when he was squatting in jail, Qin Fang alone had massacred several gamblers in the Elite Salon, including Qiao Zhenfei.

"Brother, why don't you join in?"

Li Feng agreed, and that was exactly what Chen Jiangnan hoped for. Although he suspected Li Feng would accept, he didn't expect him to agree so readily. He understood that the grudge between the two was probably quite substantial.

"This... I'm not very good at this!"

Qin Fang, however, seemed hesitant, as if he was trying to decline.

"What's the matter? Qin Fang, are you afraid to gamble? Or don't you have the money... Should I, the young master, lend you some?"

Unexpectedly, the stupidity of Li Feng far exceeded Qin Fang's estimate. Although Qin Fang had guessed that Li Feng would use the goading strategy, the words he said made many onlookers hold back their laughter.

It seemed that not long ago, someone had been mocked in this manner, and now that phrase is being used to provoke someone else, which is truly laughable.

Yet the person in question seemed quite proud, without any sign of embarrassment. Perhaps in his view, the laughter of others was not directed at him, but at the embarrassed Qin Fang.

"Since the second young master Li has said so, Qin shall humbly participate..."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Qin Fang "bit his teeth" as if he had made up his mind, and decided to sit down and start gambling.

Those who had witnessed the gambling event a few months ago instantly realized that Qin Fang was about to slaughter a fat sheep, but those unaware of that incident felt Qin Fang was the big fat sheep instead.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Regardless of who the big fat sheep is, the bets were set, so everyone had to be ready with their stakes. Qin Fang signed a cheque for ten million and exchanged it for chips quite readily.

Looking at Qin Fang's relaxed demeanor, Li Feng felt such hatred!

In his view, the only reason Qin Fang could come up with so much money was all thanks to him climbing up the social ladder through Tang Feifei's connections, a position that should have been Li Feng's.

The more he thought about it, the more enraged Li Feng became, cursing Qin Fang nonstop in his heart.

"Let's begin..."

With the chips of the three players ready, the gambling naturally began. The table was set up, and the casino had also specially arranged a croupier.

"Hold on, add me in too, how about that?"

Just as the three were about to start, another man suddenly spoke up, causing a slight surprise among them.

Qin Fang was no exception. Looking at this man who suddenly spoke up, he appeared to be older than the rest of them, well into his thirties, perhaps even older and sporting an unfamiliar face—many who saw him found him quite strange.

Faced with such an unknown participant entering the game, Chen Jiangnan and Li Feng almost instinctively wanted to refuse...

Chen Jiangnan did so because he was merely a bystander, and Li Feng did not want to add more variables, especially since the man seemed to have the air of an expert, which made him rather nervous.(To be continued.
