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

"Playing dumb isn't something an ordinary person should do, and it's even worse when there's a knife hanging over your head,"

Ouyang Jie said with a smirk, "Since you don't want to talk, that's fine. We have plenty of time to chat. Of course, whether you'll be unharmed by then is not something I need to worry about."

The middle-aged man pulled a smile, "You see what you're saying? We're in a society governed by law now. Do you really plan to kidnap me? I have many friends and relatives. When they find out I haven't come home tonight, they might take some nasty actions. You better think thrice, young man!"

"That's more like your true colors showing through."

Ouyang Jie patted the man's face and said, "Since I dared to stop you today, I have sufficient backing to deal with those minor issues. Now, you can take a little nap right here."

As he spoke, he took out a packet from his pocket, tore it open, revealing a wet wipe with an unpleasant smell.

The middle-aged man was all too familiar with this scent, three seconds were enough to knock an adult out for over ten hours!

He spotted a gap and violently tried to break free from Ouyang Jie, but to his horror, he found the other's body was like a wall, firmly blocking his force!

Then, a tissue was pressed over his mouth, and he slowly lost consciousness.

Ouyang Jie opened an adjacent abandoned trash can, heaved the man up, and threw him inside.

After finishing all this, he dusted off his hands and returned to the gambling hall.

Today, his task had already been completed; whether he could catch a small thread and pull out the big fish was no longer his concern.

Upstairs in the gambling hall.

Song Yun had been throwing away hand after hand for several rounds, clearly entering a state of intentional loss.

Every opening, he looked at his cards, bet a little if they were good, and discarded them if they were not.

And yet, he was still up over seventy million!

"I don't get you young people, so timid and retreating. Is there anyone else here who discards their cards as directly as you?"

After Song Yun checked and tossed his cards in a new round, Hei Ge couldn't help but speak out, "We're all VIPs here, people of status. When winning money, one should maintain an aggressive spirit! You playing like this, you might as well go downstairs!"

Song Yun responded with a chuckle, "What's it to you? I like to play it safe, or is it that you, Hei Ge, aren't feeling great about losing money? How about this, tonight's snack expenses for Hei Ge are on me; put it on my tab!"

His words were like a stab to the heart, and a bunch of people were gleefully waiting for the drama to unfold.

Even Zhu Bajie was taken aback by this statement. Everyone there was rich, the kind who always pays when out and about. Besides, who's short of money for a late-night snack?

Not to mention tens of thousands, even a million is just a starting bet in this card game!

This was somewhat insulting.

As expected, Hei Ge gripped his chips tightly, his eyes filled with a venomous look directed at Song Yun. Ever since that hand where he confronted Song Yun, his luck had been terrible!

He had already lost close to two hundred million today!

Whether it was the verbal insult or the pain in his wallet, both made Hei Ge feel a deep rage with no outlet to vent!!!

"What are you implying, kid! Looking for a fight, are you?"

Hei Ge slammed the table and stood up, and he sure had an intimidating presence with his bulky, muscular frame.

Song Yun just laughed off, "I wouldn't dare. If you're hurt, who's to blame? You want me to pay for the snacks and medical bills, too?"

"Fuck! I want to duel with you!"

Hei Ge bellowed his challenge.

When everyone heard the word "duel," their excitement surged from just being spectators to fervently excited!

These words hadn't been heard for a very long time!

Gambling was the everyday choice, but a duel meant a fight to the death.

The rules were also very simple: each party draws one card from a deck, and whoever has the higher number wins!

The stakes for the duel started at a base of ten million a round!

It could be said that in just a few minutes, you could lose all of today's chips!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"A duel?"

Song Yun looked curiously at Zhu Bajie, only to find that the latter's eyes were also filled with a trace of gloom.

"Brother Hei, that's not fun, is it? It's just a few words. If it comes to it, I'll cover your bet next round. What skill is there in bullying a kid?"

Zhu Bajie said in a deep voice, "It's the newcomer's first time here; there's no need to be so ruthless!"

"Heh, if you're scared, just say it."

Brother Hei sneered.

At this moment, Song Yun was completely confused, but when Zhu Bajie quietly explained the rules to him, he felt that Brother Hei was his benefactor today!

This was like someone begging to give away money!

Forget about luck, with his own eyes, he was definitely going to win this game!

"All right, if you want to play, I'll keep you company to the end!"

Song Yun also stood up and spoke indifferently, "But ten million a round is too little. How about this, fifty million a round?"

Fifty million???

Everyone was unsettled by this figure. Was this kid out of his mind? This was a game purely based on luck; a bit of bad fortune and you're cleaned out instantly!

Or did this young man really believe his luck was unbeatable???

"Fifty million?"

After thinking for a moment, Brother Hei directly threw his card on the table and said, "Xing Zi, go withdraw three billion in chips for me; I want to see what this kid's got!"

Xing Zi swallowed nervously, her fingers trembling as she took the bank card. She had been working for many years and had only seen a duel once before. Both sides were fiercely competitive, and in the end, the loser was rumored to have staked his entire company!

But those were just rumors, and she hadn't expected to witness one today!

Xing Zi quickly adjusted her mentality, went out, and informed Bai Lian about the news.

Bai Lian was also dumbfounded after hearing it. This newcomer was really stirring things up. What had he done to anger Brother Hei?

Others might not know Brother Hei's identity, but Bai Lian was fully aware. Put simply, Brother Hei was the leader of some organizations involved in unsavory dealings.

His earnings could also amount to over ten billion a year.

He hadn't expected that today, he'd be ready to gamble away three billion!

Tsk tsk tsk, if used well, that's fine, but if lost...

Bai Lian shuddered at the thought, fearing that the young man's life was at risk!

"You'd better not plan on running away after a round or two. Let me tell you, if you've agreed to a duel, you have to play at least ten rounds before you can admit defeat!"

Brother Hei looked at Song Yun as if he was a fox eyeing a chicken that had been plucked clean, his eyes constantly gleaming with excitement.

"Rest assured, as long as you can come up with the money, I can play with you to the end."

After Song Yun spoke calmly, Xing Zi hurriedly brought over the three billion in chips, and with great respect, she handed them back to Brother Hei.

Brother Hei's rough hand casually stroked Xing Zi's smooth cheek with a mischievous smile, saying, "Tonight, you are mine!"
