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

When Song Yun slowly revealed his cards, the numbers on them made everyone present gasp in astonishment.

It was also a straight flush, and it was just slightly higher than Hei Ge's—the eight, nine, ten of a straight flush!

If Song Yun's straight flush had been JQK or QKA, people wouldn't have been so surprised, since those are seen quite often, but this was just a little bit higher!

This dramatic turn of events made everyone sigh at the unpredictability of life, muttering frustrations like "talk about a gut-wrenching twist!"

"F*ck! What the hell is this damn game?!"

Hei Ge threw the chips he was holding in his hand violently onto the table, driven not just by the loss of money, but even more so by the immense disappointment that could drive a person crazy for a moment!

"Hehe, wasn't Hei Ge riding a tide of good fortune? Looks like that was a blow to the head!"

Zhu Bajie laughed uproariously without any restraint, evidently more joyful than if he had won money himself.

Seeing Zhu Bajie fan the flames, the woman in the pink mask interjected to mediate: "It's just a round of cards, maybe next time Hei Ge will win it back. Old Pig, keep it down, no one would notice if you were silent!"

"Yo, yo, yo~ Since the lovely big sister has spoken, I'll just shut my mouth,"

Zhu Bajie said with a chuckle.

In that round, Song Yun won nearly a billion including his original stake!

And this was just the second round; the total amount of money brought by everyone present today was said to amount to over fifty billion—a truly high-stakes gamble!

"Keep it going, keep it going."

Xing Zi shuffled, cut, and dealt the cards. After doing all this, she even threw Song Yun a flirty look. As a woman who had seen many men, she could guess a man's looks from his voice alone. This man under the mask, to some extent, must be linked to good looks.

She herself was part of the gamble and naturally preferred spending the evening with a handsome man.

"Damn it, if we're going to play, let's play big!"

Underneath his mask, Hei Ge's eyes showed a fierce gleam as he directly went all in with ten million, raising the stakes to a level that everyone had to take seriously.

Many chose to check their cards, but had to fold due to the low value of their hands.

"It's just ten million, I can afford that, I'll call the ten million and raise another ten million!"

Zhu Bajie said boldly.

Song Yun chose to look at his cards, which had mediocre value. If the initial stakes had been smaller, he might have played a few rounds, but now even if he wanted to raise, the minimum would be forty million!

He had money, but he wasn't a fool, so he decisively threw his cards in and quit the round.

Even if he threw his cards away at the start of every round from now on, by the end, he could still pocket tens of millions!

It seemed that choosing to come today was the right move, but he wondered how Ouyang Jie was getting on.

The first floor of the casino.

The three women who had come with Song Yun had already taken their chips and dispersed to play the games that interested them.

Ouyang Jie gave Huo Feng a meaningful glance, and the group moved to a secluded spot to quietly share Song Yun's plan.

Soon, everyone was holding their chips and embedding themselves in the most crowded spots. Explore more stories with empire

Ouyang Jie wasn't interested in playing cards and instead exchanged some cash for coins to start playing the slot machines that Song Yun had first been on.

Although to outsiders Ouyang Jie seemed fixated on the screen, in reality, his ears twitched from time to time.

When Ouyang Jie lost the few thousand coins he had and was planning to exchange more, the sound of a call from a scruffy middle-aged man sitting behind him caught his attention.

"Hello, if you have something to say, say it quickly, I'm in a bad mood today after losing a few thousand bucks!"

"What? Damn it! Isn't this tormenting? Are you saying that machine is really that valuable? For this matter, I've already lost two brothers, I made it clear beforehand, without half a million, those two will definitely spill everything!"

"I wouldn't dare threaten that person, they are the distinguished young masters high above, while I'm just a lowlife with a life as worthless as dust, they pay, I do the job, when the money hits the account, I'll get it done immediately, alright, alright, I'll wait for the remittance."

After hanging up, the man glared at his dwindling supply of coins and slammed the machine violently, cursing in pain, "Damn, could this machine have been tampered with? Why the hell isn't there a single line-up today!"

Ouyang Jie had to suppress a chuckle; the machine this guy was on was the same one Song Yun had played earlier, and after producing a hidden jackpot, how could it possibly payout again.

However, what interested him more was the machine the man mentioned, wondering if it could be a photolithography machine!

He hurriedly exchanged some coins and sat down next to the man, smiling and asking, "Bro, how's the battle going tonight?"

"Don't freaking talk about it, this damn thing has swallowed thousands of mine without spitting a bit out; this casino is going to go bankrupt sooner or later!"

After venting his frustration, the middle-aged man cast a wary glance at Ouyang Jie. In their line of work, reading people's expressions was essential, and he could tell that this young man didn't dress like a wealthy heir.

But the unfazed composure in the depths of the other's eyes was identical to that of the noble sons he had encountered!

This was truly strange!

Being well aware that the more one talks, the more they slip, he exchanged a few words with Ouyang Jie and then packed up, ready to leave.

After exiting the casino, he glanced left and right before slipping into a small alleyway.

Though the alleyway seemed run-down, deep inside were over a dozen clubs and massage parlors, places for winners and losers from the casino to enjoy themselves!

The middle-aged man muttered curses under his breath as he walked, oblivious to the fact that someone was closely following him.

At a corner, he suddenly felt a large hand cover his mouth tightly, and something pushed against his lower back.

This scared him into a cold sweat; after so many years in the underworld, he had no shortage of enemies. Could it be that someone was here for revenge today?

Or perhaps it was someone desperate from the casino, looking to make a quick buck?

Whichever it was, it told him that any rash action now and he would be dead in the next second.

The person behind him was none other than Ouyang Jie, who led the middle-aged man into a dead-end alley.

The moment he was released, the man dropped to his knees, pleading with his head bowed low: "I don't know where I've offended you. If you're out for money, I have tens of thousands in my bag; take it and I swear I won't call the cops. If you're here for revenge, at least let me die knowing why!"

"Heh, you sure know the rules," Ouyang Jie said, putting his weapon away and chuckling, "I'm not after your money nor your life; I'm just really interested in that machine you mentioned."

"???"

The middle-aged man instantly lifted his head, and upon seeing the young man from the casino who had struck up a conversation, his pupils shrank.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What machine are you talking about? I don't quite understand," the middle-aged man said with a forced smile. "I'm just a regular office worker; I've never set foot in a factory. The only 'machine' I've used is my Toyota that's changed hands eight times. Are you talking about that car?"
