Chapter 371 Leopard!
"Kid, Black Tiger will be here soon. I'd like to see if you dare say that when he arrives!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yunpeng lit a cigarette and looked at Chen Xuan with a playful smile.
"I dare," Chen Xuan replied.
Tang Yunpeng chuckled, with a hint of coldness, "Good, then we'll wait together!"
The others looked at Chen Xuan with disdain. This kid was too stubborn. He'd probably wet his pants from fear later.
Everyone was already full, and according to the usual custom, it was time for mahjong, pai gow, or poker.
Soon, the Tang family had the waiters clear the tables and replace them with specialized tables for cards and chess, looking very professional.
During this interval, Chen Xuan asked Su Yunxi to accompany Song Ping and Aunt Tang back.
Xue Chuan, who wanted to stay and watch the excitement, was also sent away by Chen Xuan. After all, Su Yunxi couldn't be without protection. Even now, Chen Xuan didn't let his guard down.
However, Aunt Tang and Song Ping insisted on staying. No matter how Chen Xuan tried to persuade them, they wouldn't listen, so everyone else stayed as well.
"Chen Xuan, is it? It takes at least an hour for Black Tiger to come from the city to Jiangzhou, and now it's snowing, so it'll probably take more than an hour and a half. Why don't we make a bet?"
The other tables had already started playing. Only one table was left empty. Tang Yunpeng sat down at the empty table and looked at Chen Xuan with a playful gaze.
Before Chen Xuan could reply, Tang Yunpeng said, "Forget it. He can't even afford a necklace, so how can he have money to play?"
"Playing is fine, but as government officials, you're not supposed to gamble, are you?" Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Gamble?"
Tang Yunpeng burst into laughter, looking at the others. The others also roared with laughter, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Oh? Aren't you?" Chen Xuan said calmly, very composed.
Tang Yunpeng arrogantly said, "Call the head of the police station. See if he dares to arrest me!"
"What's Yunpeng's status? Even the county magistrate wouldn't dare to say anything!"
"Exactly, who dares to touch him? They'd probably lose their official hats!"
"Hahaha!"
"No money, just admit it, stop pretending!" Tang Yunpeng looked at Chen Xuan with disdain.
*Slap!*
"How much are we playing for?"
Chen Xuan threw a bank card onto the table.
Tang Yunpeng and Tang Feng glanced at Chen Xuan, then at the worn bank card thrown on the table.
"Tsk, who knows if there's any money in your bank card? Are you kidding me?"
Tang Feng picked up the worn bank card, his eyes full of disdain.
"I don't know how much money is in the bank card, but there's enough to play with," Chen Xuan said calmly.
All the money from selling elixirs was in it. Black Tiger would transfer money to this card every few days. He didn't really know how much was in it, but it could be considered a astronomical sum.
"As if you have that much money."
Tang Feng sneered, not believing Chen Xuan's words at all.
He turned to Tang Yunpeng and said, "Uncle, how can someone who can't even afford a necklace afford to play with us? We shouldn't play with people like this."
Tang Yunpeng's heart stirred, but he waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "I'm not short of money anyway, so let's play a few rounds, but the rules need to change."
Tang Feng was displeased, "Uncle, how can you listen to him?"
Tang Yunpeng waved his hand impatiently, and Tang Feng could only shut up, glaring at Chen Xuan angrily.
"What rules do you want to change?" Chen Xuan asked.
"It's very simple. No matter how much money you lose, I won't take it. I just want you to squat at the entrance like a dog later and bark three times," Tang Yunpeng said with a smile.
He wasn't short of money. If he could see Chen Xuan barking in public, it would wash away the humiliation from before.
Tang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Tang Yunpeng had intentionally planned to tease Chen Xuan. This method was good, much more satisfying than playing with money!
The others also laughed.
Tang Yunpeng was so full of tricks for tormenting people.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes, "And what if you lose?"
"There are two million on this card."
Tang Yunpeng smiled, took out a bank card, and placed it on the table.
Chen Xuan sneered a few times, "You've really got it all figured out. In that case, let's play a few rounds of dice. As long as you win one round, I'll bark like a dog. But if you don't win a single round, you'll obediently go outside and bark like a dog. How about that?"
"Damn it, who do you think you are, having the right to challenge my uncle?" Tang Feng cursed.
Tang Yunpeng heard this and said confidently, "Good, I agree!"
In his opinion, this was no different from giving it away for free. Dice relied on luck, so winning a round should be a piece of cake. Moreover, dice were his specialty!
Heh heh, this kid was definitely going to bark like a dog!
"Go get the dice."
Tang Yunpeng waved his hand.
Tang Feng knew that dice were Tang Yunpeng's specialty, so he turned and scurried off to get three dice and a dice cup.
"A true man should always keep his word."
Tang Yunpeng held three dice in one hand and the dice cup in the other, staring at Chen Xuan with a smile.
"I'm just afraid you'll go back on your word," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
"Whoever goes back on their word is a son of a bitch!"
Tang Yunpeng licked his lips, looking like he had Chen Xuan cornered.
"Then I'll go first."
Tang Yunpeng took the lead, looking very confident. Indeed, his actions showed he was an expert.
Tang Yunpeng tossed the three dice high into the air. Everyone subconsciously looked up, and their eyes were momentarily dazzled by the lights on the ceiling. By the time they reacted, the three dice were already in the dice cup held by Tang Yunpeng.
*Clatter!*
Tang Yunpeng shook the dice cup suspended in the air, his movements fluid and natural!
This set of actions earned a round of applause!
"Yunpeng's skills are as good as ever!"
"This kid is probably going to bark like a dog!"
"Amazing!"
Tang Yunpeng was beaming with pride at the flattering sounds around him. He even performed a couple of fancy moves, tossing the dice cup high in the air and catching it steadily.
However, Tang Yunpeng was getting old, and after a few moves, he was covered in sweat.
A few seconds later, Tang Yunpeng slammed the dice cup onto the table, slowly removing his hand from the cup.
He looked up, his eyes piercing, and stared at Chen Xuan, sneering, "Kid, big or small?"
Playing dice for big or small is one of the simplest gambling games.
The rules are simple: the dealer rolls the dice, and the player guesses big or small, or a triple.
Xue Chuan saw an opportunity to profit, narrowed his eyes, and threw a gold chain onto the table, "I'm betting with Chen Xuan, this is my bet."
Tang Yunpeng was also happy to see someone giving away money and nodded at Tang Feng.
Tang Feng quickly picked up the gold chain, bit it hard with his teeth, saw it was real gold, and then weighed it, "I'll give you thirty thousand!"
Xue Chuan muttered, "I bought it for forty-five thousand, and you're only giving me thirty thousand. That's really greedy."
Xue Chuan, like Mo Xiaoxue, had signed a labor contract with Chen Xuan. The money for the gold chain was an advance from Chen Xuan.
"Kid, are you betting big or small?" Tang Yunpeng asked Chen Xuan again.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Triple!"
The people around looked at Chen Xuan as if he were an idiot. "Triple? How can that come out so easily?"
"Even if you're guessing, you should guess something better."
"Kid, do you even know how to play?"
But no one noticed that Tang Yunpeng's expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant...
