Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 537: Counting Money Until My Hand Cramps


Since the dealer didn't mention it, Chu Ge naturally asked, with a slight smile, "Miss, shouldn't you be giving me my winnings?"

"This... this sir, please wait a moment, we need to make some preparations." The dealer hesitated for a while, left the table, and made another phone call.

Mu Lingshan swallowed hard, watching Chu Ge's calm demeanor, unable to express the emotions swirling inside her.

Was it a coincidence? Luck? Did Chu Ge's ancestors bless him from the grave? The ball landed on the number Chu Ge bet on? Twice?

Faced with this scene, Mu Lingshan couldn't help but think this way, yet she felt it was simply impossible.

In this world, could such coincidences really happen? Winning on a single roulette number has odds similar to winning five million in the lottery, right? Winning twice in a row? Are you kidding me! That's just ridiculous!

Moreover... it was when he had no money left, and Chu Ge went all in with one last bet!

Suddenly, an image popped into Mu Lingshan's mind, it was of Chu Ge before bringing her to Jinkai Villa, confidently explaining his plan to her, with such poise, as if he was certain he could execute it flawlessly.

But... is this really possible?

Mu Lingshan still found it hard to accept, but facts are facts, and whether she believed it or not, she had to.

In the midst of overwhelming shock and excitement, Mu Lingshan couldn't help but curse in her heart; Chu Ge, this guy, is so damn amazing! It seems there's nothing he can't handle!

His fighting skills are exceptional, his verbal skills unmatched, with eyes that can spot even a well-hidden camera at a glance, casually tossing a towel to block part of the camera's view, surrounded by incredibly beautiful women, and now, even his gambling skills are this formidable?

This... is this guy even human?

Meanwhile.

As the public face of Jinkai Villa, the casino's manager, Yu Xiangrong was in an office inside the villa, on the phone with his boss.

Yu Xiangrong was a man in his forties, appearing scholarly, wearing a crisp suit, with gold-rimmed glasses, giving off a refined aura. Sitting in the boss's chair, his face beaming, with his legs crossed, he was evidently in a good mood.

"How's the casino business lately?"

"Thanks to your care, business is getting better and better."

"Haha, that's good, but remember, the bigger the tree, the more it catches the wind. Even though we have connections, you must be extra careful to avoid any accidents. Be strict with everyone allowed into the casino."

"Yes, rest assured, boss."

"Hmm, I trust you with this. Carry on with your work, I'm going to rest."

Yu Xiangrong hung up the phone, thinking about the end-of-year bonus, which was going to reach a new level, and felt overjoyed inside.

The casino is truly a cash cow; a week's income often surpasses Jinkai Villa's annual revenue. It's practically the lifeblood of Jinkai Villa.

Thus, Yu Xiangrong's attention to the casino was greater than anywhere else, especially when it came to the location, which was thoroughly evaluated. Even if the police came into the villa or reached the entrance, he had ways to quickly move all the gambling funds and equipment, leaving no clues or traces for the authorities.

Previously, Jinkai Villa had gone through a few close calls with crackdowns, and he believed this cash cow would undoubtedly grow into a towering tree.

Yu Xiangrong was just about to call a girl over for some company when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"President Yu, someone just won twelve million two hundred and fifty thousand on the roulette inside the casino."

"What?" Yu Xiangrong frowned, wondering if he had heard wrong.

The dealer quickly repeated what she had just said.

This time, Yu Xiangrong heard clearly, but still doubted his ears, squinting as he asked, "How much? Say it again?"

"Twelve... twelve million two hundred and fifty thousand."

Yu Xiangrong's brow furrowed tightly, "Twelve million two hundred and fifty thousand? How could he win that much? Did he cheat?"

The dealer immediately said, "He kept betting on single numbers, lost continuously, until he only had ten thousand left, then won three hundred and fifty thousand in one go, and then bet that three hundred and fifty thousand again on a single number."

Yu Xiangrong's mind was racing, picturing the roulette table, his expression becoming more and more peculiar, "Isn't this cheating? Didn't you notice anything?"

"Regarding cheating... honestly, I suspect it too, because he spun the roulette himself, I consulted with you earlier, but... I think he didn't cheat. I can't think of how one could cheat on roulette, it can only be said this person's luck is defying the heavens."

Yu Xiangrong's expression changed several times, and he said, "Give him the money, but the roulette games for today are over, just find some excuse, also, record that person's room number."

"Yes, President Yu."

Yu Xiangrong hung up the phone and tapped his fingers on the table a few times, his previously good mood completely gone.

Twelve million two hundred and fifty thousand, such a large amount, of course, he couldn't help but feel the pain, but for the credibility of the casino, he had to pay the money. Otherwise, who would dare to come to Jinkai Villa's casino in the future? Wouldn't that be ruining his own reputation?

However, now that he's paid the money, once the winning guy leaves the villa, he has other plans.

He would let this guy know that the casino's money isn't so easy to win, and even if luck is on your side to win, it might not be there when you try to spend it!

In the casino hall, the dealer received Yu Xiangrong's instructions and immediately gathered the cash, having two casino staff split the more than twelve million into four boxes. Even though both were strong young men, each carrying two boxes was still a bit strenuous.

Whether physically or psychologically, those boxes were heavy.

"Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The dealer led the two staff back to Chu Ge's side. Although the two young men didn't deliberately drop the boxes hard, as each of the four boxes landed on the floor, they made a dull thudding sound, drawing greedy and envious glances.

"Boss, here's twelve million two hundred and fifty thousand, would you like to count it?"

Chu Ge lazily shook his head, "No need to count it, a million or so, when will I finish counting? Too troublesome."

Mu Lingshan was annoyed. Was this guy getting addicted to pretending to be rich? Faced with over ten million, he still acted so nonchalantly? Isn't he excited at all?

Besides, although the possibility is small, what if there's something wrong with the money?

As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, Mu Lingshan coquettishly said, "Brother Qian, if you find it troublesome, let me count it for you. I haven't seen so much money before and want to try what it's like to count money until my hands cramp."

Chu Ge shrugged indifferently, and Mu Lingshan opened each box and started counting in the midst of envious stares.

Before long, Mu Lingshan closed the last box, nodded at Chu Ge, and then shook her slightly sore arms.

It was the first time in her life seeing so much cash, and she finally understood what it felt like to count money until her hands cramp.

Tiring! But... also satisfying!

After confirming the amount was accurate, Chu Ge smiled slightly at the dealer, "Miss, I won't put the money on the table; let's bet it all again."

Mu Lingshan's pupils constricted, her heart almost jumping out of her throat. Was this guy insane? This money was more than enough to serve as evidence, why would he want to gamble more?

Everyone around also twitched at the corners of their eyes, feeling waves of shock running through them. What's called high-stakes gambling? This kid's behavior was clearly the most direct interpretation!

Everyone present came here to gamble and prided themselves on their mental fortitude, believing they've seen some big wins and losses. But compared to this guy, it seemed what they'd witnessed before was just small fry.

Over twelve million, betting it all at once, this kid really didn't treat money as money. Did he really think those four boxes were full of tissue paper?

But, if this kid wins again, then... wouldn't it be twelve million two hundred and fifty thousand times thirty-five? Holy crap!

When some people silently calculated this number in their hearts, a fine layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads instantly.

More than four hundred million? How terrifying! Not to mention at a place like Jinkai Villa, anywhere that would be a huge amount, and what kind of status could someone who didn't treat over twelve million as money have?

As everyone had their own thoughts, Chu Ge pinched his chin, leisurely murmuring, "Let me think, hmm... which number should I bet on this time?"

The dealer was also a bit scared just now and hurriedly said with a stutter when he heard Chu Ge speak, "Bo... boss, um, sorry, the roulette seems to have a problem, I've already called someone to repair it."

Chu Ge chuckled, his eyes teasing as he looked at the dealer, shaking his head amusedly, while those nearby started to complain. Anyone with a brain knew there was no roulette problem; it was obviously the casino not wanting this guy to win again.

And if this round continued, it would surely be an exciting scene regardless of whether this guy won or lost.

However, despite their complaints, people felt at ease after empathizing a bit. If they were the casino staff and this happened to them, they definitely wouldn't dare to risk it. So this was somewhat understandable.

Mu Lingshan took a long breath of relief, glad that the casino staff made this decision; the twelve million or so was saved.

At this moment, a man walked into Yu Xiangrong's office and was stunned seeing Yu Xiangrong's frowning expression.

"Brother Yu, what's wrong? What made you unhappy?"

Yu Xiangrong glanced over, his tightly furrowed brows slightly easing, and the corners of his tightly pressed lips lifted slightly.
