Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

For Xing Zi, Hei Ge was like a wild boar that didn't know how to cherish beauty. Each time after spending that night, she always had to take half a month off to rest properly.

So in her heart, it would be wonderful if the newcomer could win in the end.

But none of this was hers to decide. The casino paid them over a hundred thousand a month as a salary, which was to keep them silent and decorative like vases. If they had their own thoughts, they likely wouldn't last long.

"Come on, kid, let me see what skills you have today to play with me like this!"

Hei Ge sneered a few times and grabbed the chips, tossing them onto the table.

No matter the outcome today, this kid wouldn't live to see tomorrow's sun!

Song Yun, on the other hand, appeared indifferent as he followed the bet and glanced at the row of cards arranged by Xing Zi, casually drawing one.

"I forgot to tell you earlier," Zhu Bajie whispered to Song Yun, "that the duel uses only one deck of cards. Each card drawn will be immediately destroyed. If the two participants in the duel aren't extremely lucky, then they can have a turn of fortune for a while. Just hold on for ten rounds, and you can call off the duel."

Song Yun had an indifferent expression on his face. In his eyes, he could see through the numbers behind these cards crystal clear. Forget ten rounds, as long as this big black guy had money, he could win it back!

"Now please reveal your cards!"

Xing Zi, as the officiator, said prettily.

Hei Ge threw his cards out on the table and, with a smirk of triumph, laughed at everyone present, "My luck is this good on the first hand; looks like I'm going to make a fortune!"

On Hei Ge's side was a Jack, which was already quite high!

But when Song Yun's card was revealed, everyone gasped in unison.

King!!!

In the duel, the King is the highest card, and no one expected this young man to be so remarkable!

Nobody thought about the possibility of cheating.

After all, with more than ten pairs of eyes watching and playing such a straightforward game, it would probably be difficult to cheat even if one wanted to.

"Damn it!!!"

Hei Ge banged the table, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "Continue!"

He was clearly enraged. After the shout, he directly picked up another card, and when he saw the number on it, his whole face twisted!

This round, he drew an Ace, the smallest value...

Without a word, he handed over another fifty million to the opponent!

In just under a minute, a billion was gone!

Grinding his teeth, Hei Ge began planning his actions for the evening.

This was not just a loss of face, but also a loss of the money he used to gamble, most of which were funds from within the organization, like a public account!

If he played away several billions in floating funds in one night, the next day countless elders would be seeking him out to assign blame, and in the end, it would surely be his demise!

The third round began, and Song Yun let the other side draw first. Hei Ge pulled a ten and hadn't had time to get excited before he saw that Jack on Song Yun's card!

Once again, just one point short!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Could it be that this young man's luck was purely his kryptonite???

Though the idea of luck is elusive, those who gamble do tend to believe in it somewhat.

Hei Ge himself has seen a man who was so unlucky that he lost at everything. Such a person would be called a "lantern" by others, meaning a guiding light, because betting on the opposite of what they chose would assure a win!

And the suppression of luck is one of those things. If two people clash, even if one of them loses their fortune to someone else in a game, they can still come out on top when playing against you. This is the sense of suppression; it's a bit like the mutual restraints of the five elements.

Today, Hei Ge had encountered this mystical thing himself!

He had already thought of a hundred ways for Song Yun to die, so whether he won or lost money didn't matter, as long as he found out where the kid lived. Not to mention getting back what he lost tonight, he might even make a fortune!

The fourth round, Song Yun won...

The fifth round, Song Yun won...

...

By the tenth round, Song Yun had a small mountain of chips in front of him.

"Hehe, heroes truly emerge from the young; I, Old Black, admit defeat and won't play anymore."

Brother Black had already adjusted his mentality; the process didn't matter, only the result did.

"You're quitting just like that?"

Song Yun caressed the chips, thoughtfully glancing at his opponent.

Brother Black gestured with his hands and said, "Fair play to the bet, we'll leave as friends—'the green hills will not change, the green waters will flow forever.'"

After speaking, Brother Black stood up and left.

With one person down, the others lost interest in continuing the game; after all, despite playing all evening, they had only the same amount of money. It lacked the excitement of a duel.

So with such rich bets before them, playing Zhajinhua seemed bland.

The game dissolved, and the players left one after another in succession, with each person waiting five minutes after the previous one before they could leave.

Song Yun was the last to leave. When Zhu Bajie stood up, he said in a low voice, "You should be careful with Old Black; he plays dirty. Someone once won a billion from him, and from that day on, they never showed up to the game again—you understand."

Song Yun nodded with a smile after listening and said, "Thanks for the tip, big brother. Don't worry, I'm not exceptional in many ways, but I do have one strength—I'm incredibly tough to kill."

Zhu Bajie saw that Song Yun was already on guard and turned to leave.

Soon five minutes passed, and Song Yun got up, stretching his neck. It was indeed an interesting place, he just wondered how Ouyang Jie's mission was going.

Just as he was about to leave, Xing Zi wrapped herself around him from behind the poker table.

"Little boss~ I'm all yours tonight~"

Xing Zi wrapped her arms around Song Yun's arm, looking at him with sultry eyes.

Song Yun hadn't even touched those three women outside; he drugged them with sleeping pills every night to make them sleep. With Xing Zi being so troublesome, how could he dare to get involved?

"Hehe, unfortunately, I'm having my period today, so let's have a proper talk by candlelight some other time."

Song Yun grabbed a one hundred thousand chip from the table and stuffed it into Xing Zi's collar, saying, "Exchange these chips for money and transfer it to my account."

After speaking, he left without any hesitation.

Outside in the reception hall, Plain Face had been waiting for quite a while. He naturally knew that today's biggest winner was this newcomer in front of him.

He had initially thought this kid was just a greenhorn, but now it seemed he was a fearless calf that had boldly broken through.

But... where was Xing Zi???

Why wasn't she following this 'little boss'?

"Did the boss enjoy himself today?"

Plain Face took off Song Yun's mask obsequiously and asked.

"Not bad, I won enough for a late-night snack."

Song Yun spoke indifferently.

Plain Face cursed inwardly, mocking the kid's bravado—how many billions would your family eat for a late-night snack!

Hehe, you might be arrogant now, but let's see what you do when Old Black finds you tonight... you'll need all the luck you can get!
