Chapter 51: The Account Book
The dealer reported, “Mr. Dai is 1, 1, 1, Mr. Bill is 1, 1, 1, and Miss Vivian is 0. Miss Vivian wins this round.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the color cup, they knew that they had lost. They did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to crush the dice directly. Even veterans like them could not do this technique. No, not only that… Even Qian Weitang probably could not achieve such great inner strength and speed.
Yan Kuan sat on one side. He glanced at the bracelet on Shen Xiaoxiao’s wrist and immediately turned his gaze to the other side. Fortunately, he was prepared and had tied this girl up in advance. Otherwise, this little brat would not be able to be trapped so easily. It seemed that his understanding of her was too one-sided. This girl definitely had a secret that no one knew.
A little girl who had been imprisoned for nearly 11 years, where did she learn these skills from? Moreover, she was actually willing to be trapped by Devon for 11 years. He couldn’t figure it out. Often, things that he couldn’t figure out, he would crush them bit by bit to examine them in detail.
And now, it strengthened Yan Kuan’s determination to re-investigate this Little Oriental Loli. Not only these 11 years, but also everything from the moment she was born, could not be easily missed.
In the first round, Shen Xiaoxiao won very easily. It was not difficult at all, but she would not fight another round.
And Devon and Bill would definitely not let Shen Xiaoxiao play again.
Just now, they thought that Shen Xiaoxiao was a rookie and that beating her was the easiest thing to do. But now, knowing that Shen Xiaoxiao was not only a rookie but also an expert among experts, they definitely could not let her play again.
In comparison, those who had seen Yan Kuan gamble before would rather gamble with someone like Yan Kuan who did not have any gambling skills.
Among those who ran casinos, there was no one who did not know how to play two games. Yan Kuan was no exception. According to their understanding, the gambling games that Yan Kuan participated in had some losses and some wins. They were all very common and did not have any good skills. Therefore, they now placed their attention on Yan Kuan. It was better than underestimating Shen Xiaoxiao just now.
“You go ahead. One game is enough.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was indeed very smart. She immediately stood up and swapped places with Yan Kuan. Moreover, she knew that she was only a chess piece in this gambling game.
As a chess piece, she had to have the awareness of a chess piece.
After swapping places, Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t immediately sit in Yan Kuan’s original position. Instead, she walked directly in the direction of Qian Weitang.
Yan Kuan glanced at her with an inexplicable expression on his face. He didn’t say anything to stop her. On the other hand, Devon was a little confused. He even wanted to get up and ask.
However, how could Yan Kuan let Devon and Shen Xiaoxiao come into contact? How could he make his woman feel the slightest bit unhappy?
He directly said to Devon, “Devon, let’s begin. It’s right here. Are you afraid that my baby will do something to that rough old man of yours?”
Devon was stunned when he heard Yan Kuan’s careless words. Yes, this was not the outside world. He had already arranged for this place. He was not afraid of what this Little Oriental Loli would do.
Moreover, perhaps this Little Oriental Loli was curious because she saw the Chinese person and walked over.
In the past, whenever the Chinese people came to the club, didn’t the Little Loli want to go up and talk to them? Now, the situation was probably the same.
Moreover, the gamble had already begun. Yan Kuan had already entered the game, so he naturally had to put all his attention on the gambling table.
In fact, both Devon and Bill wanted to win this game fair and square. If it was a real business that was lost on the gambling table, then no one would dare to say anything.
However, if it was a robbery, just taking back the territory and the hearts of the people would definitely not be an easy thing.
Therefore, if they could successfully get their hands on K-ONE, no one would really want to use force. At least now, they had the opportunity to get what they wanted through the gambling table.
As for whether they would be the only one in the end, or if they would split it equally between the two families, that would be a matter for later. The most important thing now was to swallow this big piece of cake first.
Shen Xiaoxiao was not sure what the gambling game was like. At this moment, she was walking step by step towards Qian Weitang in her high heels.
Her actions could be said to be aboveboard and unrestrained. It was exactly this aboveboard and unrestrained. Therefore, no one paid any attention to her.
Of course, Yan Kuan was an exception.
Qian Weitang, on the other hand, felt a strange feeling in his heart when he saw this beautiful and refined-looking woman walking towards him step by step with an imposing manner.
Especially when he met her eyes. Although she was smiling, it was as cold as ice, making people shudder. It was exactly the same as the man named Yan Kuan.
They both had a pair of eyes that were obviously smiling, but it made people feel extremely afraid.
“I heard that you are a wanted criminal?”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s question was straightforward. Qian Weitang was stunned. He didn’t expect this little girl to be so direct and have the intention of slapping his face.
However, Qian Weitang was looking for Devon to cooperate. Although the current situation showed that Devon had already given up on cooperating with him and wanted to give him as a bet to that man called Yan Kuan.
Although he was afraid, he forced himself to calm down.
He didn’t know who this Yan Kuan was, but he knew that this man was probably a hundred times more powerful than Devon.
To be able to use such a large business like K-ONE as a wager without any shame or beating of the heart, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to do such a domineering thing.
And this woman in a red dress was Yan Kuan’s female companion. No matter what kind of situation he was in, he could not treat her coldly or avoid answering her.
He could be considered to have been in a high position for several years, so he was definitely not bad at judging people. He did not see that although this woman had left the gambling table, the man called Yan Kuan’s gaze would occasionally look over. With one look, he could tell that… This woman’s position in his heart was definitely not simple.
Since there was almost no way out for Devon, he might as well go with the flow and curry favor with this little girl in front of him. Perhaps he might even be able to walk out of here alive.
“It’s just a game played by the people involved, and I’m just a sacrificial lamb.”
Qian Weitang’s words were beautiful, and he had stripped himself clean. who did this Qian Weitang think he was? To actually act like this, it made Shen Xiaoxiao look down on him.
However, her goal was not to reminisce with Qian Weitang, but to obtain information from Qian Weitang that she could use to take down the Pei family.
However, she knew very well that Qian Weitang would not easily hand over this life-saving item.
After Qian Weitang’s death, she had unintentionally heard Liu Qianmin and Gu Yuehua mention in a private chat that there was an account book that had disappeared after Qian Weitang’s death.
It was precisely because it had disappeared that no one had exposed it for several years, which was why the Pei family had steadily grown stronger and stronger in the capital. And they had always felt that the so-called ledger… Had been disposed of when Qian Weitang was being pursued.
Now that Shen Xiaoxiao thought about it, she was somewhat interested to know where Qian Weitang had placed that so-called ledger, and what it was?
Was it a USB drive?
Or a chip?
Or was it something made of paper?
Or was it hidden by Qian Weitang in some mysterious place?
In either case, Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to get that account book, and more importantly, she wanted to get something useful for her revenge through the account book.
She carefully looked at Qian Weitang. His suit was neat and looked clean. Of course, she had to get rid of his lack of spirit.
When it came to hiding things, if Shen Xiaoxiao dared to say that she was number one, no one would dare to say that she was number two.
No one would be as ruthless as Shen Xiaoxiao. She would rather not speak for 10 years and hide things in her throat.
Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said to Qian Weitang half-jokingly and half-seriously, “I heard that you have an account book in your hand. Do you think I can guess where you hid it? Here? Or here?”
He pointed his finger at Qian Weitang’s neck casually in the air. Qian Weitang was so scared that he froze on the spot…
