Chapter 72: The Gambling Den

  "Cheng Tiankuai, isn't the last lesson enough for you?" This arrogant voice suddenly appeared, and He Dong's originally pleasant mood was instantly ruined. He thought to himself, "How can I run into this pest wherever I go?"

  "Ke Shao was actually taught a lesson by this person?"

  "Ke Shao isn't saying he's the number one young master of Tianyang City? Yet someone can actually teach him a lesson?"

  "Was Ke Shao's previous words all bragging?"

  Cheng Tiankuai did not come alone. There were seven or eight people around him, men and women, and judging from Cheng Tiankuai's position, he was not the most important person in this group.

  As soon as He Dong finished speaking, many people's eyes immediately showed a mocking glint, and some even started discussing in low voices.

  "You...! He Dong, don't think that just because you won once with good luck, you can be arrogant!" Cheng Tianxue hadn't expected He Dong to do something so shameless and humiliating in front of everyone, and he suddenly shouted out in anger.

  "Arrogant? I'm not as arrogant as you! Besides, if I can beat you once, I can beat you again!" He Dong said disdainfully to his opponent.

  "Alright, alright! Let's bet again!" Cheng Tianyue said with a red face and thick neck.

  "Oh? What do you want to bet on?" He Dong looked at the other party with disdain, and had no psychological pressure in dealing with Cheng Tianyue.

  "Since this is a military fan club, why don't you bet on something related to it, such as shooting, free fighting and the favorite pastime of soldiers - drinking games!" Just then, one of the people standing next to Cheng Tiankuai, who was in the middle, suddenly spoke up.

  "Zhou Pangzi, Dong Ge is here for the first time and isn't familiar with anything around here. Isn't your proposal a bit unfair?" Wang Xuewu didn't wait for He Dong to speak, suddenly taking a step forward and standing in front of the person who had just spoken.

  "I was wondering who had such a big mouth, it turned out to be Wu Shao's friend. However, since it's a bet, there's no such thing as fairness or unfairness. If anyone had 100% confidence in winning, then it wouldn't be called a bet. Of course, if Wu Shao's friend is not brave enough to make the bet, then we won't force him either!" Zhou Fu'an was a chubby man with a smile always on his face when he spoke.

  "Who dares to bet now! My brother will not be afraid of you!" He Dong is He Xi's idol, in He Xi's eyes, He Dong can do anything, so he cannot hear any words that say He Dong is not good.

  Just as He Xi was speaking, Wang Xuewu quietly reminded He Dong in his ear, "Brother Dong, this Zhou Baozi is called Zhou Fu'an, nicknamed 'Laughing Tiger', he just came from the capital, his old man has just taken office as the vice mayor of Tianning City. This person is very powerful and also older than my brother by a lot, so he's got some seniority to sell, doesn't put my brother in his eyes. And this Zhou Baozi is just like his dad, they're both self-centered and look down on others."

  As expected, He Xi had just introduced it here, and Zhou Fu'an didn't ask for the parties' opinions, but directly said in a very overbearing tone, "Since that's the case, let's bet on three rounds! Shooting, free fighting, and drinking games! Three rounds, two wins! What do you think?"

  "So that's how it is, no wonder Cheng Tianyue was so arrogant, he has climbed to a high branch." He Dong looked at Zhou Fu'an with understanding, and also understood in his heart why Zhou Fu'an had obvious hostility towards him.

  "It doesn't matter what you say, everything is as you said, so what's the point of arguing?" He Xi was young and impulsive, but he was absolutely not a fool, on the contrary, he was very clever and astute.

  "What? Scared?" Zhou Fu'an said directly and provocatively.

  Zhou Fu'an's overbearing behavior made He Dong extremely dissatisfied, but He Dong was now being forced to agree by the other party's words. However, He Dong had no intention of making things easy for them either. Thinking to himself, "Since you're willing to come and find trouble, I'll make you suffer until you spit blood." So he directly put on a haughty expression and said, "Fine, we can gamble, but the stakes can't be small. With my income of tens of millions per second, if it's not in the hundreds of millions, I won't participate."

  "Several hundred million? You're not afraid that the wind will blow your tongue off! I've already investigated your background! Your family was so poor they had to borrow money to get by, and now you're just relying on one stroke of good luck winning some money from me, and then you're acting wildly arrogant? Alright, you want several hundred million, let's bet 500 million!" Cheng Tianlei said through gritted teeth.

  Cheng Tiankuai is now considered to have burned his boats and staked everything on one throw. Although Cheng Tiankuai's family has some money, in fact, he himself can't use much of it. Last time, losing over 10 million to He Dong already made him feel the pain.

  This time, the 50 million in his hands was given by his family to pull relationships with Zhou Fu'an. The plan of the Cheng family is like this: under the name of Cheng Tianpei, establish an entertainment company and give Zhou Fu'an shares, thus indirectly having a relationship with Deputy Mayor Zhou.

  "Five hundred million? It seems a bit less, but if you only have this much value, then it's only reluctantly...!" He Dong didn't know where Cheng Tianlei got the money from, nor did he know where his confidence came from. However, among the three gambling games proposed by the other party, except for shooting which He Dong was not confident in, he could guarantee that he would not lose in the remaining two games, so he confidently prepared to accept the challenge.

  "Don't force it, if the 50 million bet is not enough for this Dong Ge, then I'll add another 50 million, how about that?" Zhou Fu'an suddenly interjected.

  "I'll add ten million too!"

  "My money is limited, just add 8 million!"

  "I only have five million in pocket money, and I'm taking it all out!"

  As soon as Zhou Fu'an spoke, the people following him also shouted in unison. In no time, the bet soared to 1 billion and 500 million.

  Faced with such a huge bet, Wang Xuewu and He Xi's faces changed instantly. The strength of the family where Wang Xuewu was located was not weak either, but Wang Xuewu was still young after all, and the resources at home were not something he could use yet. Even if he could use them, taking out 150 million yuan at once would be a considerable difficulty.

  As for He Xi, it's even more unnecessary to mention that half a year ago, his family was still relying on He Qianjin and Meng Jing's hard work selling breakfast to make a living. Let alone 150 million, even 1.5 million is an astronomical figure to him.

  "How's that? It's just 1.58 billion, I think Dong Shao should be able to handle it?" Cheng Tianxuan said with a smug expression, looking at He Dong.

  "I thought it would be a lot of money, but with so many people gathered together, it's not even two billion. What's there to be proud of?" He Dong said disdainfully.

  "What a big tone you have! First take out this 1.5 billion and then talk loudly!" Zhou Fu'an's face sank directly.

  At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on He Dong. There was Wang Xuewu and He Xi's concerned and anxious gaze, and Cheng Tianpei's complacent and mocking gaze.

  "Is 150 million a lot? I don't know how much this diamond is worth?" He Dong casually pulled out a pigeon egg-sized diamond from his pocket and tossed it around in his hand.

  "Huh, I didn't expect this poor guy to have something so good on him?" Seeing the diamond in He Dong's hand, Cheng Tianyue and Zhou Fu'an were simultaneously filled with a look of surprise.
