"Jiang Chen, so what if Li Wen has a die in his sleeve? He's a croupier; isn't it normal for him to have dice on him? What reason do you have to say he's cheating?" Zhou Nana shouted fiercely.

"It's not a problem for a croupier to carry gambling tools, not even if he carries a set or just a single die. However, if the die he's carrying is the same one that was just in the dice cup, does that count as cheating?" Jiang Chen spoke slowly and methodically.

"You – you stop talking nonsense here. The die isn't from the dice cup just now. I think you're just trying to weasel out of paying up!" Zhou Chengkun, coming to his senses, yelled loudly.

Lacking confidence, he could only make up for it in volume!

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen said with a cold smile, and kicked Li Wen in the waist.

Bang!

Thump!

Li Wen was sent flying by Jiang Chen's kick, hitting the wall before sliding down to the floor!

Turning around, Jiang Chen picked up two dice from the table and lined them up with the one taken from Li Wen's sleeve in his palm, flashed the trio of dice in front of him briefly, then extended them towards Zhou Chengkun.

As Jiang Chen flashed the dice in front of him, Zhou Chengkun and his group's faces changed color, all glancing at the surveillance camera in the corner.

"See anything?" Jiang Chen stared straight into Zhou Chengkun's eyes.

Zhou Chengkun, struggling to control his inner turmoil, looked down at the three dice.

"This... this..." His body shuddering, Zhou Chengkun's face revealed an incredulous expression.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yue'er asked anxiously, looking down at the dice in Jiang Chen's hand before her face suddenly changed.

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "When checking the dice earlier, I scratched a faint line on each of the three dice. Lined up together, they form a straight line, but this one..."

Picking up the extra die from the table and rotating it in front of him, he looked at Zhou Chengkun with a mocking gaze: "This one does not have the scratch!"

"This..." Zhou Chengkun and the others turned pale, the evidence was enough to prove everything!

Clatter!

Nonchalantly throwing the dice onto the table, Jiang Chen, without looking back, pointed to the corner behind him and said lightly, "Yu Wan, there's a surveillance camera over there – get the memory card out of it!"

Ye Yùwǎn hesitated, then turned and saw a red light. She got up and moved the chair towards it.

Struggle flashed through Fang Tianzheng's eyes as he stared at Ye Yu Wan, about to stand up when a hand landed on his shoulder.

"Mr. Fang, what are you trying to do?" Jiang Chen leaned forward, staring into Fang Tianzheng's eyes, and spoke coldly.

Fang Tianzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No-nothing at all!"

"Gentlemen, ten billion. Who will pay up?" Jiang Chen patted Fang Tianzheng's shoulder and scanned Zhou Chengkun and the others.

"Jiang Chen, this... there was no agreement for this gambling game. You're asking for ten billion out of thin air. You're extorting us!" Yue Long gritted his teeth, trying to wriggle out of the situation.

Ten billion, even split among their four families, would be a substantial hit. Although the Four Great Aristocratic Families had broad estates and vast business interests, much of it was tied up in fixed assets – their liquid funds were not as abundant. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so covetous of Yi Chen's ten billion!

"Oh? Even with surveillance as evidence, you want to shirk?" Jiang Chen glanced at Yue Long and casually slapped his hand down on the table.

Bang!

A muffled sound, and a palm imprint appeared on the table!

"You're forcing my hand!" Jiang Chen spoke out sharply, an icy murderous intent emanating from him.

A shout of anger resounded through the room like thunder.

Suddenly, all the noisy sounds inside the room vanished, leaving dead silence.

The others all had ashen faces, not daring to utter a single word.

These were the scions and young masters of the Dingjing elite, the Crown Princes of the aristocracy. If anyone else dared to slam the table and shout at them like that, they would definitely retaliate immediately, letting the person understand why flowers are so vibrant!

Yet, now they didn't dare to even let out a fart.

Because they all knew, Jiang Chen was strong! Incredibly strong!

Provoke him into taking action? That was simply courting death!

They didn't dare, truly didn't dare!

So, none of them dared to respond, not one person dared to move!

Meanwhile, in another private room, Wan Shan, the second young master of the Wan Family, and Chen Long, a subordinate of the current Family Head of the Jiang Family, Jiang Minghui, watched the now dark screen of the computer monitor with gloomy faces.

They had hoped to witness a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

But unexpectedly, they saw one dragon instantly crush a bunch of crawling creatures!

"Trash!"

Wan Shan cursed angrily, grinding his teeth in frustration, yet helpless to do anything.

Chen Long took a deep look at the monitor one last time, walked out of the hotel room, and dialed a number on his cell phone.

A moment later, on the second floor of the Sky Blue Bar.

With a soft sound, the door of a private room opened, and Jiang Chen and Ye Yuwan walked out. Compared to when they entered, Jiang Chen's bank card was now ten billion richer!

Zhou Chengkun and the others had ultimately not dared to bet on whether Jiang Chen would take action or not. Reluctantly, they informed their families and transferred the money into Jiang Chen's card!

"Jiang Chen, how did you know he was cheating?" Ye Yuwan asked excitedly as they stepped out of the private room door.

In a matter of minutes, gaining ten billion, this was simply unbelievable to Ye Yuwan!

"I saw it," Jiang Chen said with a slight smile, not elaborating in detail. This wasn't something easy to explain—a common person wouldn't understand.

Ye Yuwan nodded without pursuing further. She didn't really need to know; she was just too excited and somewhat at a loss for words.

"Come on, let's go have a drink and celebrate properly!" Taking Jiang Chen's hand, Ye Yuwan ran towards the first floor, excitement written all over her face.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and obediently followed.

By the time they reached the first floor, the members of the Ye Family had already left. No matter the outcome of Jiang Chen's gamble, the members of the Ye Family knew very well that they had been exposed. They were all aware of Jiang Chen's abilities and feared that he might unleash his anger after losing the bet. They had left the bar the moment Jiang Chen went upstairs—never considering the possibility that Jiang Chen might win.

Ye Yuwan led Jiang Chen to the bar counter, ordered two bottles of red wine, and the two began to drink, one glass each.

It had been a long time since she had come out to play alone with Jiang Chen, and coupled with her excitement, Ye Yuwan soon became slightly tipsy.

Taking advantage of the alcohol and her emotions at the moment, Ye Yuwan suddenly stretched out her hand, wrapping her arms around Jiang Chen's neck, her eyes deep with affection as she gazed into his, her lips quivering slightly.

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, met Ye Yuwan's gaze, and felt a sharp tremor in his heart.

At this moment, he fully understood Ye Yuwan's feelings, but with the matters of Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin still unresolved, how could he become entangled in another affair of the heart?

For a while, he didn't know what to do.
