Bai Chen had entered San Hai Casino with Long Xu In, led by the manager of the San Hai Casino, Zhang Mou.
Zhang Mou asked what they wanted to gamble on first so that he could take them to the right room.
Besides blackjack, Bai Chen did not know many games. Thus, he said blackjack.
Zhang Mou quickly took him and Long Xu In into a V.I.P room inside which people were playing blackjack.
Once they entered the V.I.P room, Bai Chen saw an elegant room lined with red carpet and had a round table made from good quality wood set in the middle of the room.
There were six chairs around the table, five of which were already occupied.
Two of them were old men. The other two people were a middle-aged man and woman.
And it was impossible to tell whether the last person was a man or a woman. This was because the person had their face covered. They were wearing a mask, glasses, and a hat, and their outfit was a robe. They looked very suspicious.
It was odd that San Hai Casino would let this kind of person in.
Aside from these five people, there was also a female dealer. She was in an outfit similar to a bartender. She wore a shirt, a black pair of pants, and a necktie around her collar.
From what Bai Chen saw, they were surely gambling because the table was not empty. There were many piles of chips.
The mysterious person had the most chips in front of him. It seemed like he was pretty lucky.
“Manager.” The female dealer stopped dealing cards abruptly when she saw Zhang Mou bringing people in.
“Don’t mind me. Carry on.” Zhang Mou waved at her before smiling at everyone.

“Why are you sorry, big brother Mou? The more the merrier,” the middle-aged man said while laughing.
Zhang Mou glanced at him quickly and remembered who he was. “It’s you, big brother, Wen. Here to gamble with the madam again?”
“What madam, big brother Mou? We’re all friends,” said the middle-aged woman. She had a not-so-pretty face. Moreover, she had on a thick layer of makeup and wore red lipstick. It looked quite scary.
From their conversation with Zhang Mou, it was obvious that they were a married couple.
“Haha. Please make yourself comfortable.” Zhang Mou laughed before turning to speak to Long Xu In and Bai Chen.
“Young miss Long and Mr. Bai Chen, at your leisure. I will tell someone to bring more chairs.”
He left the room afterward. Bai Chen and Long Xu In looked at each other briefly before walking to the table.
“Have a seat,” Bai Chen said while moving the chair for Long Xu In.
“It’s all right. You should be the one to sit down. You’re the one who wants to gamble, aren’t you?” Long Xu In told him, shaking her head. She secretly felt happy with the way he treated her.
All eyes in the V.I.P room looked at them and had the same thought: ‘the honeymoon phase.’
Bai Chen’s and Long Xu In’s words and actions were just like those of a newly-wed couple.
“Haha. It’s good to be young, right, elder Chuan?” One of the old men laughed out loud.
“Are you nostalgic, elder Fang?” the other old man said.
Their conversation suggested that these two were certainly friends. They seemed to be very close friends, too.
Bai Chen froze. Long Xu In’s face turned red. She understood what the two elders meant.
“Hurry up and sit down. Don’t you know you’re wasting other people’s time?”
Suddenly, the middle-aged lady spoke up, annoyed. The way she looked at Long Xu In was full of envy. She envied Long Xu In’s beauty.
The middle-aged man, whom Zhang Mou had called ‘big brother Wen’, was Wen Kun. He was the owner of a real estate company in Dong Hai Island. He was considered rather rich, but not that rich.
He turned to his wife and said in a low voice, “Come on honey, don’t mind them.”
“Whatever.” The middle-aged woman looked grumpier. But she listened to her husband.
In that V.I.P room, the female dealer and the mysterious person were the only people who had not said anything.
“Xu In, sit down,” Bai Chen said, not caring about the middle-aged woman’s words.
Long Xu In, too, did not care. When she heard what Bai Chen said, she sat down.
Once Long Xu In had sat down. Bai Chen stood beside her, his eyes falling on the female dealer.
“You can start.”
“Have you exchanged your money for chips yet, sir?” the female dealer asked him.
Bai Chen paused. He had completely forgotten about the chips.
“Give me 100,000 chips,” Long Xu In said while taking out her credit card.
“Just a moment, please.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe female dealer said this politely. Long Xu In and Bai Chen were led here by Manager Zhang Mou himself. Their status was likely not ordinary. She did not dare to be impolite.
She then pressed the button on the table and spoke a few words.
After that, she told Bai Chen and Long Xu In to wait. Meanwhile, she continued dealing with the cards. She feared that it would upset the others to have to wait a long time.
Bai Chen was not in a hurry. He could wait.
Not long after the female dealer had dealt the cards, two men who were dressed like her came into the room.
One brought a chair, while the other carried a tray with 100,000 yuan in chips.
Bai Chen sat on the chair that was brought for him. The 100,000 yuan in chips was set in front of him.
One of the two men took her credit card and left, likely to swipe her card to pay for the chips.
“Just 100,000 yuan in chips. Yet you have the guts to come play in the V.I.P room,” the middle-aged woman said mockingly when she saw the chips in front of Bai Chen and Long Xu In.
Bai Chen and Long Xu In did not know what was wrong with this middle-aged lady and why she kept provoking them.
But they certainly did not care about her.
“Deal.” A voice, impossible to distinguish as male or female, sounded from under the mask of the mysterious person. It was obviously from a voice distortion device.
The mysterious person had won in the last round. The rest of the table had been beaten by the female dealer.
Other people in the V.I.P room did not pay much attention to the middle-aged woman. Not even her husband, Wen Kun. He knew well that even if he said something, she would not listen to what he said anyhow.
“Yes sir.” The female dealer nodded, before turning to ask Bai Chen and Long Xu In, “Are you both playing or just one of you?”
“Just one,” Bai Chen answered.
The female dealer nodded politely. “Understood, miss.”
