Chapter 50: Cooperation! Remotely Controlling Qian Duo to Make Money!
In the garage on the first basement level of Tianhao Entertainment, several burly men helped carry Lin Cheng into the Toyota Highlander.
Standing beside the vehicle, Xu Fei smiled at Jiang Cheng and asked curiously, "Jiang Cheng, I'm really curious. Back at the Fuyuan Restaurant, how did you figure out our scam? That handbag was ruined by hot oil and soup—how could you tell at a glance that it was fake?"
"I guessed it!" Jiang Cheng replied directly, without hiding anything.
"Guessed?" Xu Fei clearly did not believe Jiang Cheng's explanation.
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, I guessed! Sister Xu, do you think a woman who can afford a luxury handbag worth around twenty thousand would go to a low-end restaurant like Fuyuan Restaurant to dine?"
There was not a single flaw in Jiang Cheng's logic. That was precisely what had aroused his suspicion in the first place!
Naturally, he would not tell Xu Fei the truth, because even if he spoke the truth, Xu Fei would never believe it.
Hearing this, Xu Fei laughed, her body swaying like a blooming flower: "I never expected you to be quite so smart, and quite so bold! Sister here appreciates you more and more!"
Looking at Xu Fei's flirtatious gaze and recalling the scene of Xu Fei performing unspeakable acts in bed, Jiang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.
*Could this woman possibly...*
*真是特么恶心! (Truly fucking disgusting!)*
"Ahem! Sister Xu, I'll take Lin Cheng to get his arm treated first! Let's meet again if fate allows!"
With a hurried, dry cough, Jiang Cheng bid farewell to Xu Fei and practically fled into the car like a frightened animal.
His naive and awkward demeanor caused Xu Fei to burst into giggles.
"Giggle, with a reaction like that, could you still be a virgin rooster?"
Wang Hao stepped on the accelerator, the Highlander's engine let out a roar, and the vehicle shot straight out of the underground garage.
Looking into the rearview mirror, Jiang Cheng said to Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, drive back to the entrance of Tianhao Entertainment and drop me off!"
Wang Hao frowned, unsure of what tricks Jiang Cheng was trying to pull: "Mr. Jiang, we barely managed to get out of the Bee Gate's hands in one piece. What on earth are you going back for?"
Jiang Cheng straightened his expression: "It's nothing. I just saw an acquaintance and want to go say hello. You take Lin Cheng to the hospital to get his dislocated arm popped back in. I'll make my own way back afterward, so don't worry!"
Naturally, Wang Hao knew the acquaintance Jiang Cheng referred to was Qian Duo, and he wanted to warn Jiang Cheng that such a woman could not be trusted.
However, glancing at Lin Cheng, who was lying flat across the back row, Wang Hao decided not to say anything more and simply nodded.
Half a minute later, Jiang Cheng returned the way he came, heading back to the underground garage.
Concentrating his vision, his X-ray sight swept across the entire thousand-square-meter underground garage. Finding a blind spot without surveillance and confirming no one else was around, he squatted down beside a black Honda Accord.
Lowering his head and activating his X-ray vision, three seconds later, the scene of the second basement level instantly appeared before Jiang Cheng's eyes.
It didn't take long before Jiang Cheng spotted Qian Duo, who was dressed in a small red dress, amidst the crowd.
A playful smile touched his lips as he took out his phone and initiated a voice chat with Qian Duo.
Ten seconds later, WeChat connected, and Qian Duo's soft, lazy, mature-woman voice came through instantly.
"Little brother-cub, what's this? What brings you looking for your older sister?"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shiver, silently thinking to himself that this voice was truly a virgin-killer!
"Sister Duo? You must have lost quite a bit, right? Want to win some money back?"
"How do you know? Are you in the casino too?"
"Never mind how I know. Do you want to win money?"
"Win money? Of course I do! You have no idea, I've already lost more than thirty thousand! This joint run by the Bee Gate is truly fucking shady! I couldn't even spot the tricks!"
"How about we cooperate?"
"Cooperate? How? Where are you right now?"
"Right above your head!"
"Above my head?" Qian Duo paused, subconsciously looking up at the ceiling, only to find nothing there except for concrete.
She playfully scolded, "Little brother-cub, stop talking nonsense with me. Tell me, how are we going to cooperate?"
"In a moment, I'll transfer three hundred thousand to you. I'll tell you what to bet on and how much to wager—you just place the bets accordingly. You need to be fast, understand?"
"Are you remote-controlling me? Little brother-cub, you sure know how to play! Hehehe... But sister loves being remotely controlled by you!"
Qian Duo's words sounded as if she were about to devour him alive!
Jiang Cheng instantly grew hot all over: "Ahem... Sister Duo, just tell me whether you're going to cooperate or not."
"Cooperate. Am I an idiot to turn down free money? But you're transferring three hundred thousand to me? Aren't you afraid I'll lose it all?"
"Hehe! With a beauty as stunning as Sister Duo, even if you lost every single cent I have on me, I'd still be happy!" Jiang Cheng shamelessly began to butter her up.
A gentleman takes his revenge ten years later, but a villain takes his revenge day and night!
Tonight, he had been fleeced of one million by Cheng Dong, and he had to recover that money right here in this establishment!
Therefore, he had thought of Qian Duo, who had lost a considerable sum of money.
Initially, Jiang Cheng expected Qian Duo to simply ignore him, but to his surprise, Qian Duo acted as if she were an old friend of his for many years!
They communicated completely without reservation!
Just think, wasn't this the first time he had ever chatted with Qian Duo?
To think they could communicate and interact so smoothly!
He couldn't help but wonder inwardly, *"Is she really seeing me for the first time?"*
Naturally, he had no idea that Qian Duo, having seen him effortlessly snatch a playing card from her earlier, subconsciously mistook him for an expert of the Rong Gate.
That was why she was being so affectionate.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Qian Duo giggled joyfully: "Little brother-cub, you certainly have a sweet mouth! Let's do it your way!"
The corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled upward as he pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Duo, I've transferred three hundred thousand to you. Go exchange it for chips first!"
Before long, a transfer notice for three hundred thousand indeed appeared on Qian Duo's phone.
Qian Duo raised an eyebrow. Was this guy playing for real?
She had only met him once, yet he trusted her this much?
He handed over three hundred thousand just like that?
Her conviction that Jiang Cheng was a high-level expert of the Rong Gate grew even stronger.
Without overthinking it, she walked straight to the chip-exchange counter and converted the entire three hundred thousand into gaming chips.
Just then, a voice message arrived on Qian Duo's WeChat, and she tapped to play it.
"Table 3, bet on Big, two thousand yuan!"
Without a moment of hesitation, Qian Duo walked straight to Table 3.
This was a dice-rolling game.
At that moment, the dealer had already finished shaking, and the dice cup sat quietly on the table.
The dealer was calling for the gamblers around to place their bets.
Qian Duo did not hesitate, throwing two thousand in chips onto "Big."
She found it quite ridiculous herself—she was actually falling for Jiang Cheng's nonsense!
However, the money wasn't hers, so she didn't feel any heartache over a reckless bet.
She would just use this opportunity to test whether Jiang Cheng was truly worth cooperating with.
A moment later, betting closed, and the dealer lifted the lid—it turned out to be a 2, 3, 3, which was "Small."
Accounts settled, round over.
Two thousand yuan had just vanished into thin air!
Qian Duo's face turned green!
She had actually believed Jiang Cheng's bullshit!
Her back teeth ground together, making a clicking sound.
Walking off to the side, she picked up her phone and ranted furiously, "You asshole! I really fell for your nonsense!"
"Ding-dong."
The moment Qian Duo's voice message went out, another voice message came in.
Qian Duo frowned, but still tapped to play it.
Jiang Cheng's cold voice came through: "If you want to make money, stop talking! Do whatever I tell you to do!"
Qian Duo stamped her foot in anger. What an absolute jerk.
"Hmph! Anyway, this three hundred thousand is yours, I couldn't care less!" Qian Duo muttered under her breath.
By then, the second round had already begun.
Soon, Jiang Cheng's voice message arrived again.
"Still Table 3, bet on Big, ten thousand!"
Qian Duo had already adopted a reckless, whatever-happens-happens attitude. If this detestable Jiang Cheng wanted to lose, let him lose!
Walking back to Table 3 without hesitation, she placed ten thousand on "Big."
"Opening..."
As the dealer drew out the word with a prolonged tone, the lid of the dice cup was instantly whipped off.
"5, 5, 6, Big!"
Accounts settled, round over. In a mere half-minute, Qian Duo's ten thousand chips had turned into twenty thousand!
Qian Duo was stunned!
She found it hard to believe her own eyes.
She had actually won!
And in a single stroke, she had won ten thousand!
Dazed, she looked around in all directions trying to spot Jiang Cheng, but she couldn't find him anywhere.
For the next hour or so, Qian Duo frantically bounced around from table to table.
At any given gaming table, she lost far more often than she won, and she never played more than five rounds at any single spot.
She was operating just like guerrilla warfare.
At first, Qian Duo thought Jiang Cheng had gone crazy and was simply giving money away to the casino.
But the longer it went on, the more she realized she was wrong!
Because she discovered that despite losing more often than winning, the stack of chips in her hand was actually growing larger and larger.
Qian Duo gradually began to grasp Jiang Cheng's method.
At any given table, she experienced both wins and losses, with losses heavily outnumbering wins.
Yet, every time she lost, she only dropped a paltry couple of thousand.
Whenever she won, however, she raked in tens of thousands in a single go.
It was as if those losing rounds were intentionally orchestrated by Jiang Cheng to make her lose!
Adding it all up overall, she was purely and simply making money!
In the middle of it all, Jiang Cheng had also instructed Qian Duo to cash out her accumulated winnings two or three times in advance, always leaving only thirty to fifty thousand in chips in her hand.
With a jolt of shock, Qian Duo realized that in just over an hour, she had actually won three million and five hundred thousand!
"Alright, Sister Duo, cash out the remaining chips in your hand and pull out! Three million plus isn't a small amount, but it isn't huge either. Any more than that and we'll draw suspicion!"
Qian Duo was getting more and more excited the more she won and wanted to keep going, but Jiang Cheng told her to pull out.
Though she felt rather displeased inside, Qian Duo wasn't stupid; Jiang Cheng's words made complete sense.
Gritting her teeth, she dumped her remaining twenty thousand chips into a final bet and lost, then immediately stepped into the elevator.
