Qin Shuran stared at Chen Fan in shock, "Chen Fan, are you crazy!"
Da Xiong was also startled, "Dr. Chen, you don't have to do this for me. They can kill or skin me as they please. You can't gamble. They are all very cunning. If you gamble, you will definitely lose!"
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Fan in surprise and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you really planning to borrow money to gamble?"
Chen Fan ignored Qin Shuran and Da Xiong beside him, and nodded to the middle-aged man.
"Heh heh, I like Mr. Chen's character. Just based on this card of yours, I'll make the decision personally and lend you fifty million! And within one day, all your interest will be waived," the middle-aged man extended five fingers.
The reason he dared to lend Chen Fan such a large sum of money was first, because of the supreme black card Chen Fan had on him, and second, because he knew Chen Fan had no chance of taking a single cent from here.
When Chen Fan owed the casino tens of millions, wouldn't he be under his control? What about the supreme black card? It would still be in his grasp!
This made the middle-aged man's face reveal a hint of a playful smile again.
"Alright, fifty million it is," Chen Fan agreed. Da Feng Novel Network
Qin Shuran frowned. She didn't know where Chen Fan got the courage to borrow money to gamble here.
She wanted to persuade Chen Fan, but Chen Fan had already signed the contract with the middle-aged man, and the fifty million chips had all been delivered.
Qin Shuran looked at Chen Fan with disappointment in her eyes.
"What does Mr. Chen want to gamble?" the middle-aged man asked, looking at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan pondered for a moment and said, "I remember watching the movie 'God of Gamblers' before. They played a game where each person was dealt five cards."
The middle-aged man smiled and replied, "Mr. Chen is talking about Stud, right?"
"Yes, yes, it's Stud," Chen Fan nodded.
"Good, call a dealer in," the middle-aged man instructed.
Soon, a young woman walked into the office, carrying several decks of cards.
Chen Fan sat opposite the middle-aged man.
The dealer opened a deck of cards, let Chen Fan and the middle-aged man inspect them, and then began to shuffle.
"Mr. Chen, the ante is one hundred thousand, is that okay?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Okay." Chen Fan threw a hundred thousand chip into the center of the table.
The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curved upwards, and he signaled the dealer to start dealing.
Chen Fan and the middle-aged man each received one hole card, followed by a second face-up card.
"Heart Ace speaks," the dealer looked at the middle-aged man. On the middle-aged man's side was the Ace of Hearts, while Chen Fan had the 10 of Clubs.
"Mr. Chen, it seems my luck is good. One million," the middle-aged man said with a smile, throwing out a chip worth one million.
"Is the Ace of Hearts bigger than the 10 of Clubs?" Chen Fan asked, confused.
*Pfft!*
The casino staff present almost burst out laughing upon hearing Chen Fan's words.
Da Xiong felt too embarrassed to watch and lowered his head, full of regret for having dragged Chen Fan into this.
Qin Shuran, standing behind Chen Fan, had an extremely grim expression. "The rules of Stud are that Aces are the highest and 2s are the lowest. From highest to lowest, the hands are Royal Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, High Card. For identical hands, the suit determines the rank, in the order of Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs."
The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Shuran. "Heh heh, I didn't expect the beautiful lady to know these things."
Qin Shuran ignored the middle-aged man and said to Chen Fan again, "You'd better look at your hole card and then decide whether to call or fold. If you call, put out a million chip. If you fold, you lose the ten thousand ante."
"I really don't know how you have the nerve to sit here and gamble when you don't even know these things!"
Finally, Qin Shuran complained to Chen Fan with dissatisfaction.
Chen Fan smiled and didn't explain anything. He directly threw out his cards, "Then I fold."
Qin Shuran was stunned again, feeling that everything she had just said was in vain. Chen Fan had thrown out his cards without even looking at his hole card.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's smile deepened. "Mr. Chen's playing style truly surprises me."
Chen Fan ignored the middle-aged man and glared at the next deal.
The dealer took another deck of cards and began to deal.
Another hole card, then a face-up card. Without thinking, Chen Fan threw out his cards before the dealer could even speak.
After ten consecutive folds, the middle-aged man also became impatient. Losing one hundred thousand at a time, even until tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to lose fifty million. "Mr. Chen, how about we change to a different game? If you keep playing like this, it might take a whole day and night."
"I need to find my rhythm. Don't worry, I won't fold this hand," Chen Fan said with a smile to the middle-aged man as he saw the dealer start to deal.
The middle-aged man's expression improved slightly upon hearing this.
"Spade Ace speaks." The dealer looked at Chen Fan.
"Finally, I see an Ace. This card is the highest here, right?" Chen Fan asked Qin Shuran.
Qin Shuran's forehead was covered in black lines, and she nodded helplessly.
The others also tried to suppress their laughter.
Seeing Qin Shuran nod, Chen Fan exclaimed, "Whoosh!" and pushed all the chips in front of him forward, saying two words: "Stud!"
"Dr. Chen!"
"Chen Fan!"
Da Xiong and Qin Shuran exclaimed in unison. They stared at Chen Fan, dumbfounded, not expecting him to push all the chips in front of him forward. This meant Chen Fan had bet forty-nine million this time!
The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Mr. Chen, chips that are pushed forward cannot be taken back."
"Oh, really?" Chen Fan appeared somewhat surprised.
The middle-aged man smiled, pushed forward the forty-nine million chips, and said one word: "Call."
The dealer began to deal. Since there was no more betting, the remaining three cards were dealt directly to Chen Fan and the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's face-up cards were three 9s and a Spade 8. Chen Fan's were the 10 of Spades, J, K, A.
Seeing these cards, the middle-aged man's brow furrowed slightly, but he wasn't overly worried, as he didn't believe Chen Fan had a straight flush.
"Mr. Chen, it seems my luck is good. Four of a Kind," the middle-aged man revealed his last card, a 9 of Diamonds. The board showed four 9s and an 8.
Upon seeing that the middle-aged man had four 9s, the young men and burly men around them cheered.
Da Xiong and Qin Shuran watched Chen Fan's last card with great tension.
After all, facing Four of a Kind, Chen Fan needed the Queen of Spades. Only this card could possibly win this round.
"Do I only have the Queen of Spades to win?" Chen Fan asked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man nodded triumphantly. "Yes, Mr. Chen, you only have the Queen of Spades as a chance to win against my hand."
"Oh dear, I'm really sorry. I actually do have the Queen of Spades."
Saying this, Chen Fan revealed his hole card.
When everyone saw Chen Fan's hole card, their mouths fell open in astonishment!
