Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1458: Tasked in a Crisis

”Is Mr. Song seriously injured?”

As soon as Song Xiaochen and Song Chaoying arrived at Huo Sining’s room, Huo Sining couldn’t wait to ask.

Huo Sining wasn’t a young girl who just entered society. She had heard about the complex relationships between gambling circles and the underworld, and she suspected that the Gambling King’s unfortunate outing this time was due to some information leak beforehand.

This premeditated bombing incident was most likely the work of opposing forces in this international gambling tournament, with the aim being nothing but to prevent the Gambling King from entering the Gambling City to participate in the competition.

”Thanks to Miss Huo, we just received a call from our fourth aunt saying that our father has just come out of danger, but he is still in intensive care and hasn’t woken up yet.”

Speaking of the Gambling King’s condition, Song Chaoying’s eyes turned slightly red.

Su Qingqing, standing beside, angrily said, ”These Americans are really too much. Even if they don’t want people to participate in the competition, they don’t need to use such vicious and cruel methods. Using bombs, it’s clearly an attempt to kill, too ruthless!”

Song Xiaochen showed a bitter smile: ”Interests make people go crazy. We’ve seen more dangerous situations. Luckily, heaven showed some mercy. Though my father got injured, fortunately, his life was spared. As long as he’s alive, that’s what matters. As for how to avenge this, we’ll deal with those people once he’s recovered.”

As he said this, a fierce look flashed in Song Xiaochen’s eyes, filled with a cold and murderous aura, clearly showing he was angry.

Song Chaoying handed over a large stack of organized materials to Huo Sining: ”Miss Huo, I know participating in this competition is difficult for you. If you decide to back out at the last minute, the Song Group won’t hold it against you.”

Laughing, Huo Sining shook her head: ”Miss Song, you underestimate me, Huo Sining. I am aware of my limited capabilities, which is why I initially turned down your invitation.”

”Now that the Gambling King is in trouble, I’m surprised. If the Song Group really places this heavy responsibility on me, a mere woman, aren’t you afraid I might fail to accomplish the task? Then, I’ll take on this duty and agree to help you.”

Song Chaoying looked up at Huo Sining and smiled: ”Rest assured, Miss Huo. In this battle of the big sharks, not even my father has full confidence. So no matter the result, you needn’t bear any mental burden. We’ll focus on the process, not the outcome!”

Huo Sining nodded earnestly, looking at the Song siblings:

”You both are sensible people, and I, Huo Sining, am not naive. The reason I’m willing to change my mind today isn’t due to any overwhelming sympathy, but because I respect your father.”

”Even at such an age, Mr. Song hasn’t given up the fight, and such an accident was not of his choosing.”

”However, with such an incident, it’s easy to imagine the outside world will have unpleasant things to say. Mr. Song has led a legendary life, cherishing his reputation, and I don’t want to disappoint him.”

Because of Ouyang Jun’s relationship, Song Chaoying had never placed Huo Sining in the correct position before.

Born into a family of gambling royalty, a wealthy young lady, she subconsciously always had a sense of superiority when faced with girls like Huo Sining, who came from rural areas and made good.

Even though Song Chaoying knew that this woman named Huo was much more capable than she was, she still refused to face this fact.

Until this moment, after Huo Sining finished speaking, Song Chaoying finally realized.

From gambling dice with Song Chaojing in Xiangjiang to gambling on the high seas, Huo Sining had always remained composed and calm like a meditating monk, inexplicably instilling a sense of safety and trust. Even her father, who never liked to praise others, couldn’t help but be full of praise for this woman.

A young girl of her age receiving so much praise and respect is not without reason.

Looking at the beaming Huo Sining, Song Chaoying suddenly felt an overwhelming admiration, as if looking up at a towering mountain.

No matter how much she disliked admitting it, she was aware that this woman named Huo, who radiated such brilliance and earned the trust of so many, had her reasons.

Compared to Huo Sining’s confidence, her ever-present feeling of superiority seemed utterly ridiculous.

”These are the details we’ve gathered about the participants in this WGC competition. Though not guaranteed to be exhaustive, they are definitely real. I’ve picked out the particularly tricky rivals for you. With your skills, you don’t need to bother with the ordinary opponents.”

Pointing to one of the pieces of information, Song Chaoying explained to Huo Sining.

Huo Sining nodded knowingly, signaling for Song Chaoying to continue.

”This is the process and rules of the WGC competition. This big shark battle is a once-in-a-decade event, so many casinos are going all out for it. This is a tough fight, and you need to be mentally prepared.”

Having said this, Song Chaoying worried her words might have put some pressure on Huo Sining, so she stole a glance at Huo Sining’s face. Seeing her still looking calm, she continued:

”Even if my father himself were here, he wouldn’t dare to promise a win, so you don’t need to feel pressured either.”

Taking the stack of files, Huo Sining flipped through them as she said, ”While I don’t know much about gambling skills, I’ve always had good luck. I believe I can hold on for a while. As for whether I can laugh until the end, that’s uncertain.”

Song Chaoying smiled bitterly: ”We’re already surprised you agreed to participate, and the result doesn’t matter as much. Regardless of the outcome, as long as you do your best, that’s enough.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining’s lips curved slightly. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she paused in flipping through the files and looked up at the Song siblings: ”Since we’re going into battle, we need to prepare the right weapons.”

Song Xiaochen and Song Chaoying exchanged glances, not understanding what Huo Sining meant by this.

With a mysterious smile, Huo Sining’s next words only added to the Song siblings’ confusion.

”We’re all business people, so I won’t beat around the bush. I’m agreeing to your conditions, but you need to help me with something in return.”

The Song siblings exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of suspicion. At this critical moment, did Huo Sining plan to make an exorbitant demand?

Seeing their expressions, Huo Sining quickly explained, fearing a misunderstanding: ”Here’s the situation. I know an English Earl who possesses some truly excellent Huaxia antiques. However, he refuses to sell them to me unless I trade top-tier European antiques with him.”

”As you probably know, I have no other hobby but collecting Huaxia antiques. But with such a strict condition from the other party, I’m forced to seek out European antiques. I believe the Song Group must have abundant resources in this area, operating casinos and all. I need top-tier European antiques; price is negotiable, as long as there’s a supply.”
