"I myself don't have any objections, just not sure about the other two..."

Qin Fang was surprised at first, but his eyes soon took on a playful look, and his tone became much more composed; he spoke with a faint smile on his face.

"Then I have no objections either..."

Naturally, Chen Jiangnan always looked to Qin Fang for guidance—although he couldn't fathom the sudden participant's true intentions, since Qin Fang had no objections, he naturally didn't either.

Qin Fang had said long before that if he won, he kept his earnings, and if he lost, it all counted on Qin Fang's head, so Chen Jiangnan was under no pressure at all.

"No objections..."

Though reluctant at heart, seeing his love rival Qin Fang expressing no objections, Li Feng couldn't really say much in protest. He couldn't let himself fail at this critical moment, so he could only hunch over an gruntingly agree.

"Many thanks to the three of you. My name is Fan Jin, from Hong Kong..."

This man named Fan Jin was very polite as he introduced himself, taking a seat at the gambling table and converting ten million in chips. With that, the four players, each with ten million in chips, were ready to start.

Although he was from Hong Kong, he spoke Mandarin very fluently. Had he not revealed his origins himself, the others would never have guessed he was from Hong Kong.

Due to Fan Jin's background, the four decided to play the Hong Kong-style five-card game, also known as All-in, which is very popular in Hong Kong and Macau. Comparatively, it is played much less in the inland areas.

The casino was completely neutral, the croupier was arranged on the spot, and the four gamblers could request a change at any time if they were dissatisfied.

To ensure fairness and prevent cheating, the gamblers were not allowed to touch any of the cards before the deal, and even after the cards were dealt, they could only touch the cards in their own hands.

Qin Fang didn't care about this at all. Regardless of whether he touched the cards or not, he was cheating undetectably. Even if someone was suspicious, they wouldn't suspect him.

Though the stakes were as high as ten million, the minimum bet per round was not high, requiring only ten thousand. If one were to play slowly, ten million could last a very long time.

However, anyone who has played All-in knows that once you have a strong hand, betting all-in can quickly escalate, and losing everything can happen in just a moment.

The croupier began to deal the cards, one open card, one hidden card...

Li Feng's luck seemed to be very good; his open card was an Ace, and so was his hidden card, although he didn't show much overt excitement.

"Let's start with a hundred thousand to test the waters..."

He tossed out a hundred thousand chips, speaking in a very calm tone.

"PASS!"

Fan Jin, sitting next to Li Feng, received a King as his open card and another King as his hidden card, but he just passed without so much as a glance.

A flicker of surprise crossed Qin Fang's eyes, but he didn't show much astonishment, as if it were perfectly normal and reasonable.

"PASS!"

Qin Fang's hand was not strong, and faced with Li Feng's pair of Aces, there was no comparison. He simply chose to give up directly—no need to prolong the fight.

"I'll call the hundred thousand..."

Chen Jiangnan's cards were good, so he naturally followed, but in the end, he failed to win against Li Feng, who won several hundred thousand off him. This guy Li Feng seemed to get off to a good start, joy written all over his face.

The second round started quickly...

Qin Fang's cards were still bad, Li Feng's were still good, Chen Jiangnan's were bad as well, and Fan Jin's were barely passable; he called Li Feng twice and ended up with a small loss of several hundred thousand.

Third round, fourth round, fifth round...

Consecutive rounds saw Qin Fang ending first with a PASS, while Li Feng seemed to be on a winning streak. His hands were consistently good, and even if they didn't start that way, they quickly improved as the game went on...

After the first five or six rounds, Li Feng had only lost to Chen Jiangnan once and won all other rounds, accumulating over two million in winnings. Chen Jiangnan and Fan Jin each lost around a million, while only Qin Fang had not been defeated by Li Feng.

This was what puzzled Li Feng the most; the person he truly wanted to defeat wasn't Chen Jiangnan, who had mocked him earlier, but rather Qin Fang. Yet, Qin Fang's cards were consistently terrible, so he couldn't even take a shot at him.

But his opportunity soon appeared...

"After folding so many times, you finally make a stand: one million..."

This time Qin Fang's open card looked very attractive—an Ace. As for his hidden card, nobody knew, not even Qin Fang himself had looked.

It seemed that after a series of frustrating rounds, Qin Fang came out swinging with a fierce move, throwing out a million in chips as he said.

"PASS!"

Upon seeing Qin Fang place a bet, Chen Jiangnan naturally had no need to lock horns with him. He couldn't be bothered to look at his hole cards; they weren't good anyway, so he just gave up right away.

"I'll call your million, and raise you another million..."

Li Feng truly hated Qin Fang to the bone. Even though Qin Fang's cards were strong, his weren't weak either. He had a King in hand and an Ace on the table, so by all accounts, he was not outmatched by Qin Fang at all. He decided to be ruthless, not only calling the bet but raising it...

"I'll call!"

What surprised Li Feng was that the next player, Fan Jin, completely ignored his presence and directly called the bet.

"It looks like all three of us have strong hands this round... I'll call!"

Qin Fang just smiled indifferently. He had seen Fan Jin's cards – a pair of Queens, indeed quite strong. Anyone would call with such a hand, there was nothing particularly remarkable about it.

However, recalling how he gave up a pair of Kings in the first round, there was something intriguing about that. But this was something only Qin Fang understood in his own mind, and he would not take the initiative to reveal it.

The third card was dealt, Qin Fang received a 10, while Li Feng got a Jack, and Fan Jin also a Jack. In terms of hand ranking, Qin Fang was still leading for the time being.

"All-in..."

But this time, Qin Fang seemed tired of the game of raising and calling bets, simply pushing all his chips forward and going all-in.

Whoosh~~

That was certainly high stakes, and many spectators couldn't help but exclaim, Qin Fang's cards were not particularly outstanding and certainly didn't hold an obvious advantage, yet he suddenly went all-in. This was decidedly a risky move.

The most crucial point was, from start to finish, he had never looked at his hole cards.

"All-in..."

Li Feng, looking at Qin Fang's expressionless face, felt very hesitant. He didn't have much confidence in his hand, but the sight of Qin Fang's indifferent attitude really annoyed him.

Considering his own luck had been incredibly hot today, while Qin Fang had folded five times in a row, indicating terrible luck, Li Feng felt there was no reason he should lose to Qin Fang.

Resolutely clenching his teeth, he pushed all his chips forward. Now the pot was up to twelve million. It was another raise.

"OH, SHIT! You guys are tough... PASS!"

Seeing Qin Fang and Li Feng go head-to-head, Fan Jin looked quite frustrated, directly flipping over his hole card with a smack, revealing another Queen, and had no choice but to fold reluctantly.

"Let's continue..."

Qin Fang couldn't be bothered to say much, although he felt something was off about this Fan Jin, definitely not someone who would simply give away money, but couldn't put his finger on it. For now, he chose to ignore him.

He pulled out his checkbook and signed a check for over two million to raise the stakes again, matching the bets. The croupier then immediately dealt the cards.

The fourth card, Qin Fang got a Jack, and Li Feng a Queen.

The fifth card, Qin Fang got a King, and Li Feng an Ace.

With this, Qin Fang's hand showed an Ace, King, Jack, 10, while Li Feng's hand was an Ace, King, Queen, Jack. It seemed that Li Feng now held the advantage on the board. The most crucial point was the hole card.

"Li Feng, it looks like we'll have to see who the final victor is with this last hole card. If mine is a Queen, that would give me a straight unless the hole card is a 10. So, whoever ends up unlucky... If your hole card isn't a 10, I win... however, I'm betting that you called early because your hole card is definitely not a 10!"

"Qin Fang, are you so sure that your hole card is a Queen?"

Li Feng was not willing to show weakness and retorted sarcastically... but, in doing so, he indirectly admitted that his hole card wasn't a 10.

Li Feng understood the logic well—if Qin Fang's hole card was a Queen, then he would lose this round. But Qin Fang hadn't looked at his hole cards at all, and he didn't believe that Qin Fang's hole card must be a Queen.

Now, with three Queens already out, only one Queen was left in play. Considering there were 52 cards in the deck and only about a dozen cards had been dealt, with thirty-something, nearly forty cards remaining, would it really be such a coincidence that it was the last Queen?

Gambling, especially poker, is often about playing the probabilities, particularly with games like all-in, blackjack, and twenty-one. Generally, the pros are masters of calculating odds.

However, under the current circumstances, it seemed like Qin Fang's chances of winning were quite slim. As long as Qin Fang's hole card wasn't a Queen, even an Ace would still result in him losing to Li Feng.

"Then let's raise the stakes even higher, do you dare to call?"

While speaking, Qin Fang pulled out his checkbook as if he intended to keep raising the bet, yet his gaze held a teasing look at Li Feng, as if mocking him for being a poor beggar.

"Why wouldn't I?"

Everyone could laugh at Li Feng, but he felt there was one person least qualified to mock him, and that was the man before him, Qin Fang. Without a second thought, he immediately shot back.
