Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1345: Chapter 1379: Open and Hidden Struggles on the Gambling Table

”Me?”

Lin Zifeng pointed to himself, feeling that he really wasn’t skilled at being financially reckless.

”Yes, sidekick, go ahead and play. If you lose, it’s on me. If you win, it’s all yours.”

Beiming Lan had already made up her mind. Today, she was determined to lose all the money she had won, and then go back to her wealthy mom for more.

Anyway, in Beiming Lan’s world, spending money was the only joy she could find now.

”Wow! Your master rarely lets you play a few hands, why are you pretending to be timid? You probably haven’t seen such a scene many times in your life, right?”

The guys who were about to leave the table burst into smiles when they heard Beiming Lan letting the sidekick play a couple of hands.

”Well... this isn’t very good, is it?” Lin Zifeng was hesitating. He’s not afraid of losing, but afraid of winning too much and the greasy-faced guys in front of him going back on their word.

”What’s not good? Your master lets you play for her, are you scared of something? Wow, you have such a mighty master, yet you stick with a timid sidekick. Beiming Lan, maybe you should consider replacing him?”

”Yeah, this sidekick is really clueless.”

”Miss Beiming, if you don’t mind, how about I become your sidekick? Just feed me a little every month.”

”...”

Instantly, Lin Zifeng’s hesitation invited everyone to start ridiculing, exposing their ugly faces with a torrent of sarcastic, mocking comments.

They just wanted Lin Zifeng to play and win back all the money they lost.

”I’m paying, just play. Lose, it’s on me!”

Beiming Lan said angrily, pushing all the money on the table towards Lin Zifeng.

”Go ahead, play. Losing all this money makes no difference as long as you dare to play.”

Looking at Beiming Lan’s generous demeanor, Lin Zifeng almost felt like crying on the spot.

”Kid, do you dare to play or not?”

At this moment, a fat man, with a cigarette in his mouth, glared at Lin Zifeng. He had just lost nearly two hundred thousand to Beiming Lan and was now eager to win it back.

”Play, play. Why not?”

Since Beiming Lan said so, what reason did he have not to play?

”By the way, sidekick, do you know how to play this Three Card Poker?”

At this moment, Beiming Lan suddenly asked. If Lin Zifeng didn’t know how to play, letting him play would undoubtedly be a way to lose money recklessly, which wasn’t the intention.

”A little.” Lin Zifeng said seriously. He had just watched Beiming Lan play, and it didn’t seem too difficult; it’s just about guts and intelligence.

”Okay, a little means you can. You start playing, I’ll go to the restroom and be right back.” After speaking, Beiming Lan resolutely pushed over a huge stack of money, totaling over a million.

She intended for Lin Zifeng to lose it all, then go back to Beiming Yu for more money since other than spending, there’s no entertainment for her.

”Hey... Miss Beiming...”

Lin Zifeng wanted to ask if he would have to pay if he lost all this money, but Beiming Lan had already turned and left.

”Hey, hey, hey, I said you timid wretch, do you dare to play or not? Since your master lets you play, don’t you have any courage?”

As soon as Beiming Lan left, the others exchanged glances. It was said that Beiming Lan was Beiming Yu’s major headache in the Beiming Family. Since her father died, Beiming Lan and her mother were like two wrong pieces fitting together.

She opposed Beiming Yu in everything, but Beiming Yu did not complain, was powerless against his daughter.

He could only comply with her desires.

Beiming Lan’s endless squandering of money was essentially her way of retaliating against Beiming Yu!

”How much do you guys want to play for?” Lin Zifeng beamed a smile that instantly delighted the other guys.

Thinking, this fool finally fell into the trap. Let’s see how I’ll deal with you later...

But little did they know, Lin Zifeng was quite adept at the old game of ’playing dumb to catch smart prey.’

”Haha, starting at ten thousand, max at a hundred thousand!”

One of the fat men across immediately hatched a plan.

”What do you all think?” Lin Zifeng’s gaze fell back on the others to confirm their opinions.

”Okay! No problem, let’s play like that.”

Seeing Lin Zifeng had no objection, the others naturally agreed.

The fool came to bring money, why would they refuse?

However, after two hands, things quickly started to seem off.

Because this kid already slammed two hands with ten thousand each, making the other guys start to feel jittery.

What they feared most was Lin Zifeng’s ceaseless betting. Besides, the cards in their hands weren’t great.

Throw them? Such a pity.

Keep betting? It’ll surely get deeper and deeper, and winning back might become impossible.

Who knew what cards this guy had? It might be something entirely different.

”Kid, are you still planning to bet?”

The guy next to Lin Zifeng, an eyeglasses-wearing man, held a pair of Spades King and a Heart Ace.

This hand was already big among a deck of fifty-four cards, and with seven or eight players, few could beat a ’pair,’ though it’s not impossible to have a bigger hand.

Seeing Lin Zifeng bet ten thousand after ten thousand, he was getting uncomfortable.

Swallowing nervously, his gaze drifted to Lin Zifeng’s hands, hoping to peek at something.

”Yes.” Lin Zifeng didn’t even look at his cards, simply pushing forward another ten thousand.

This annoyed the eyeglasses man.

”Kid, you didn’t even look at your cards, and you bet ten thousand, don’t you fear losing it later?”

”Doesn’t matter, it’s not mine if I lose.” Lin Zifeng chuckled casually.

”...”

The eyeglasses man swallowed hard. Lin Zifeng betting ten thousand meant he also had to follow with ten thousand, or it’d be like admitting defeat.

Helplessly, he finally couldn’t resist and threw out ten thousand.

”Damn! Old Zhang, are you also betting ten thousand!”

Just after the eyeglasses man placed his chips, someone behind him wasn’t happy.

If everyone followed with the bet, it meant the cards were not weak.

However, he held a ’Straight,’ though not a ’Flush Straight.’ If it were a flush straight, hope would be high.

The bigger the hand, the harder it is to give up.

”Yeah, are you planning to bet too?” The eyeglasses man already felt regret.

Knowing that if the players behind also bet, it meant their cards weren’t weaker, making the money he bet seem like meat buns being thrown at dogs, gone for good.

Deciding he had a big hand himself, even if throwing his money was like sacrificing a meat bun to a dog, he still had to hold on.
