In the first round, the scene was quite intense. Obviously, the other three players thought they had good hands, so no one wanted to fold at first. After several rounds, two of them couldn't withstand the pressure and reluctantly folded, leaving a middle-aged man facing off against Chu Ge.

However, at this point, the middle-aged man's forehead was also sweating. Putting so much money on the line would make anyone feel pressure. His breathing was a bit uneven, and he finally requested to reveal the cards.

The middle-aged man had a flush of hearts, while Chu Ge... only had a broken hand with a Q as the highest card.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed; this round netted him over ten thousand dollars!

The little old man beside them almost regretted to death. He also had a flush, but bigger than that of the middle-aged man. If he hadn't caved under pressure, wouldn't he be the one hugging the money now?

In the second round, Chu Ge again played blind, starting by throwing a thousand to the max bet. This time, when the cards were revealed, he had another broken hand. Unquestionably, whatever he put in, he lost.

Third round, fourth round...

Gradually, the gaze of the people at the table toward Chu Ge became increasingly fervent, their eyes gleaming with the symbol "￥".

This guy is a fat sheep! No, calling him the Money Scatterer seems more appropriate?

Every hand was blind, and his luck was unbelievably rotten. He was simply throwing money away!

By the eighth round, his luck finally turned, and he got a set of three nines in his blind hand.

Coincidentally, the other three also had pretty decent hands, each thinking they would definitely win, so they followed through enthusiastically. But when the cards were revealed, they were completely dumbfounded. Chu Ge won over eighty thousand with just this hand!

While the three players were as devastated as if they were attending a funeral, Chu Ge remained indifferent, his face showing not even a hint of excitement.

With drooping eyelids, Chu Ge collected the bright red eighty thousand dollars to the side of the table, and the game continued.

Seeing that Chu Ge didn't intend to leave after winning, the girl who brought him here had even brighter eyes, with subtle ulterior thoughts stirring in her mind.

The three players at the table also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this tycoon kept playing, they would have a chance to win their money back. Of course, the premise being that he kept playing blind and didn't have that kind of extraordinary luck again.

Would Chu Ge continue playing blind? The answer was, of course, yes.

Would he always have such extraordinary luck? The answer was, of course, no.

With an uninterested expression, Chu Ge played for another hour, throwing large handfuls of cash as if it were water. In this short time, he lost over one hundred thousand dollars. If the other three weren't so timid, he definitely wouldn't have lost just this amount.

On the other side, Mu Lingshan could hardly stand it, biting the straw of her juice unconsciously. Didn't this guy claim to be good at poker? Why is he just throwing money away? If this is what he calls being good at poker, then she must be the God of Gambling herself!

With a quiet sigh, Mu Lingshan couldn't sit still any longer, putting down her juice and moving to Chu Ge's side.

"Brother Qian, your luck seems a bit off? How about I help you change your luck?"

Chu Ge yawned and leaned back lazily against the chair. "Not playing anymore."

"Boss, play a bit longer?"

"Yes, play a few more rounds. I'll treat you to a late-night snack later."

The others, hearing this, naturally didn't want to let go of Chu Ge, the tycoon, and hurriedly urged him to continue playing.

But Chu Ge just stretched lazily and stood up from his chair, giving the three a contemptuous look, while letting out a nasal hum.

Feeling the disdain and impatience in Chu Ge's gaze, the people at the table immediately fell silent.

With Mu Lingshan held close on one side, Chu Ge beckoned the girl who brought them over with a finger, "You, come here."

The girl followed Chu Ge to the door, casually closed it, and smiled politely, "Boss, any instructions?"

Chu Ge curled his lips, gesturing at Mu Lingshan with his thumb, "Do you guys have any bigger games here? Playing this small poker isn't as interesting as playing with her."

Mu Lingshan was inwardly fuming. His words were so mean, what kind of thing to say was that?

But in this situation, she could only put on a coquettish smile and said playfully, "Oh, you!"

That girl was taken aback, hesitating as she met Chu Ge's gaze.

Of course, there's a casino here, and the stakes are indeed high. If Chu Ge were to lose money there, she would get a commission, so it's definitely a tempting thought. In fact, she had already considered this angle.

But the key issue is that Chu Ge is a stranger. Even if he looks like a rich fool, leading him into the casino hastily would be quite risky. She decided to observe Chu Ge further before making a decision.

After about ten seconds, the girl finally responded, "Boss, how about this? I'll contact you if there's a suitable card game?"

Chu Ge responded with an indifferent "Hmm" from his nose, "Then I'll wait for your call."

After speaking, he left with Mu Lingshan.

Once they returned to the room and Mu Lingshan confirmed that it was safe to speak, she gave Chu Ge a fierce look, "What were you talking about just now? How could you even say something like that? Isn't it disgusting?"

Chu Ge grinned, "It's situational. Don't you think speaking like that fits my current role? Jinkai Villa, they like rich suckers, so I'm just catering to their expectations."

"Hmph, I think you did it on purpose."

Chu Ge shrugged, too lazy to explain. If he had to explain everything to Mu Lingshan, wouldn't it be exhausting?

Anyway, since Chu Ge had already said his piece, Mu Lingshan didn't want to dwell on this topic and promptly asked, "Didn't you say you were good at cards? How did you lose so much so quickly?"

Chu Ge shrugged nonchalantly, "If I don't lose, how can I make them believe I'm a rich fool?"

Mu Lingshan wasn't a fool; she was just provoked by Chu Ge earlier. As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, she immediately understood that his actions were entirely to get into the casino, but she didn't feel very reassured.

If Chu Ge couldn't win money in such gambling sessions, how could he win in a real casino? With the way he plays, he would definitely lose whatever he has, right?

Mu Lingshan sighed and said, "Alright, let's put this aside for now. Why did you start a fight when you got in? Isn't that just causing unnecessary trouble? If the villa people come to make trouble, wouldn't the whole plan be ruined?"

Chu Ge laughed heartily, "If I didn't act a little arrogant, how could I make the villa people see that I'm not in the same league as those gamblers? Besides, although I hit that person, I didn't disrespect that girl. If you were from the villa, what would you think?"

Given how cooperative Mu Lingshan has been these days, Chu Ge didn't hold back his explanation. Seeing her face gradually light up with realization, he nodded.

"Got it? Someone like me, rich, with a temper, and obviously experienced in this scene, perfectly fits the criteria to be led into the casino. Since I've caught that girl's attention, she'll probably report to her superiors. Now, all we need to do is wait. As long as they believe we're legit, they'll naturally bring us into the casino."

Hearing Chu Ge's justification, Mu Lingshan thought it over carefully and agreed with its logic, finally sighing in relief. Reflecting on Chu Ge's earlier antics, she found him quite... charming.

As Mu Lingshan was thinking, Chu Ge suddenly teased, "It's getting late. I'm going to shower and sleep. Want to join me?"

Mu Lingshan's face turned red instantly, "Get lost!"

Chu Ge laughed heartily and went to the bathroom for a comfortable shower. After coming out, he teased Mu Lingshan a bit more before lying down on the room's only large bed.

Truth be told, Mu Lingshan really wanted to take a shower. Though her endurance was usually quite good, today had been quite taxing, and with all the tension, she was a bit sweaty. The dampness felt uncomfortable.

However, being alone with a man, the thought of bathing under such circumstances made Mu Lingshan uneasy. She had clearly heard the sound of running water when Chu Ge was showering, so if she were to bathe, Chu Ge would obviously hear it too.

Mu Lingshan hesitated for a few minutes and suddenly heard the sound of Chu Ge's even breathing in the room. Turning to look, he was clearly already asleep.

Seeing Chu Ge fast asleep so soundly, Mu Lingshan felt a surge of irritation. Here she was worrying about how Chu Ge might act towards her, while he just fell asleep immediately, sleeping so sweetly.

Unbelievable, do I have absolutely no allure for this guy? Is he even a man? After all, I bear the title of a police beauty, don't I?

Mu Lingshan gritted her teeth and glared at Chu Ge, finally deciding to take a clean set of clothes and head to the bathroom.

In less than half an hour, Mu Lingshan finished her shower, but now she faced a new problem. This suite only had one bed, and Chu Ge was already sleeping soundly on it.

Should I... sleep on the sofa tonight?

Mu Lingshan thought so, but when she got to the sofa and had already almost sat down, she stood up again.

"Why should he sleep on the bed while I take the sofa? Even though he's here to help me, it's really for someone else, and helping me was just an afterthought. He's been somewhat of a bully these past two days, nearly wearing me out. Shouldn't I at least get a good night's sleep? That's just too much!"

Mu Lingshan turned to look at Chu Ge in bed, getting increasingly frustrated as she thought about it. With a determined breath, she walked toward the large bed.
