The next day.

While cruising around in his Cullinan, Wang Haoran received important information from the detective agency regarding Chu Bai’s whereabouts.

Chu Bai had entered an underground casino.

“It seems I guessed right.”

Upon learning this news, Wang Haoran wasn’t surprised.

Having read numerous online novels, Wang Haoran knew that protagonists with clairvoyant abilities usually had two ways to quickly make money: gambling on stones or gambling on cards.

There were no stone gambling venues in Qingling City, and going elsewhere for it was too troublesome.

Wang Haoran instructed the driver to head to the underground casino.

About fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the destination.

Based on the timing, Chu Bai had already been gambling for a little while.

However, Wang Haoran wasn’t in a hurry.

Chu Bai’s family conditions were poor, so his capital was definitely limited. With little capital, winning 30,000 yuan would certainly take some time.

Moreover, as the protagonist, Chu Bai might not be extremely smart, but he definitely wasn’t a fool. Even if he could win 30,000 yuan in a short time, he wouldn’t do so because it would attract too much attention.

Wang Haoran approached the chip exchange window in the underground casino.

A young woman dressed provocatively asked, “Handsome, how many chips would you like to exchange?”

“Five hundred thousand.”

“Fi… five hundred thousand! Are you sure?”

The young woman was stunned.

This underground casino wasn’t very large, and a gambler exchanging 50,000 chips was already considered a big client.

She had never seen anyone exchange 500,000 chips at once.

“Swipe the card, the password is six sixes.”

Wang Haoran didn’t waste words and handed over the card.

The young woman, with a mindset of giving it a try, proceeded with the transaction.

The card was successfully swiped.

Really?

The young woman was overjoyed, letting a colleague take over her window duties while she came out to warmly welcome Wang Haoran.

Exchanging 500,000 chips at once, he was a super VIP!

And judging by his attire, he seemed like a rich young master new to the scene.

A big fat sheep!

“Handsome, what would you like to play? I can introduce you.” The young woman was enthusiastic, almost leaning her whole body towards Wang Haoran.

But before she could touch him, Wang Haoran sidestepped.

His eyes clearly showed disdain.

The young woman awkwardly straightened up.

“I don’t like the games here. I want to gamble my way: 500,000 chips, one round to decide win or lose,” Wang Haoran said.

“Handsome, this is a small place. Playing so big, I don’t think any gambler here would take it,” the young woman said, stunned.

“You can ask your boss if he’s interested.”

The young woman immediately went to relay the message.

A few minutes later, she returned and invited Wang Haoran to a private gambling room.

At the gambling table sat a man with a bushy beard and a long scar on his left cheek, clearly not someone to mess with.

“Friend, I’ll take it. How do you want to gamble?” The scarred man squinted at Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran had someone bring a new deck of cards.

“Let’s play ‘Fried Golden Flower,’ but each person only gets one card. Whoever has the higher card wins.”

In this way, without cheating, it was purely a game of luck.

The scarred man gave Wang Haoran a deep look, hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

After shuffling the cards, Wang Haoran and the scarred man each drew a card.

Wang Haoran remained calm, not in a hurry to look at his card.

The scarred man appeared calm, but inside he was quite nervous.

He had run the casino for many years and had gambled with many people, but this was the first time he played such a big round.

The scarred man cautiously revealed his card. Seeing it was a heart ace, he almost jumped out of his seat with joy.

For Wang Haoran to win, his card would have to be a spade ace.

But the odds of that were extremely low.

“It’s your turn to reveal your card. I don’t believe you have a spade ace!” the scarred man said.

Wang Haoran glanced at the corner of his card, his expression turning a bit strange.

He hadn’t expected his luck to be so good.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t here to win money.

“Looks like my luck was off. You win.” Wang Haoran didn’t reveal his card, pretending to be upset as he tossed it back into the deck.

Losing 500,000 didn’t bother Wang Haoran.

It was just pocket money.

He still had over 300,000 in his account.

If he ran out, he could just call his generous parents.

In no time, another million in pocket money would be transferred.

Across the table, the scarred man finally breathed a sigh of relief, delighted to have earned 500,000 in one go.

“Friend, you play so big, I thought you were a swindler here to cause trouble.”

“I’m not a swindler, but I did see a swindler enter your place,” Wang Haoran said, steering the conversation to his real purpose.

Losing 500,000 was just to make a good impression.

This way, it was easier to talk.

“The rule in my place is that anyone caught cheating loses a hand. Who’s the swindler? If I catch him, he won’t get away,” the scarred man said menacingly.

“You have surveillance here, right?”

“Of course, it’s essential.”

“Can you show me the way?”

Soon, the scarred man led Wang Haoran to a surveillance room.

The room had dozens of high-definition casino screens, monitoring every table and every gambler.

Whenever there was a game, someone was watching the surveillance screens.

This was to prevent trouble and to catch any cheating.

Reputation was crucial for a casino.

Cheats were extremely unwelcome.

“There he is.”

Wang Haoran pointed out Chu Bai on the surveillance screen.

He was playing at a dice table.

“Review the footage to see if there’s anything suspicious,” the scarred man instructed.

The staff in the surveillance room reviewed the footage frame by frame but found no signs of cheating.

“Friend, there’s nothing wrong with this guy,” the scarred man said, frowning.

“He’s a top-notch swindler’s direct disciple. His cheating methods are so advanced that even if you watch closely, you won’t notice, let alone through surveillance,” Wang Haoran bluffed.

“You can check how much capital he brought in and how much he’s won,” Wang Haoran suggested.

The scarred man had someone check, and soon they had the information.

Chu Bai had exchanged 1,200 yuan in chips and played at five tables, mostly at the dice table, for about 19 rounds.

His record was 10 wins and 9 losses.

The data seemed normal.

Chu Bai was indeed cautious, trying not to attract attention.

But some things can’t be hidden, no matter how careful.

He had won 16,000!

A mediocre record, yet he won so much money.

Clearly, he won big and lost small.

“This kid’s luck is too good, isn’t it?” the scarred man said, puzzled.

Gambling luck is mysterious. Some gamblers have streaks of incredible luck, winning constantly.

The scarred man had seen this before.

“His luck is good, and I guess it will continue to be good until he wins at least 30,000,” Wang Haoran said nonchalantly.

“What do you mean by that?” the scarred man asked, confused.

“I heard many swindlers set rules for themselves to avoid risks, and I happen to know his rule,” Wang Haoran noticed the scarred man’s furrowed brow and knew it was time to act.

Feigning a look at the time, he continued, “I happened to learn about that swindler at another place. Seeing him here today, I just mentioned it casually. It has nothing to do with me.

I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave now. I’ll come back to play next time.”

After speaking, he ignored the scarred man’s questions and left the casino.

After Wang Haoran left, the scarred man had someone keep an eye on Chu Bai.

Sure enough, as Wang Haoran had said, Chu Bai’s luck was indeed good, and his chips kept increasing until he won about 35,000 and finally stopped.

He really was a swindler!

“At the entrance, stop that kid in the white T-shirt with the buzz cut!” the scarred man ordered his men through the intercom.
