784: Chapter 784: On Listening to Dice 784: Chapter 784: On Listening to Dice Chu Qingxue glanced over a few times and continued, “Actually, in principle, the sound of dice falling really is different.”
“How is it different?
Is there a specific explanation?” Ximen Leiting and Guo Feng both became interested.
“As everyone knows, dice are essentially cubes with six identical sides, but each side is engraved with one to six circular indentations.
Thus, these six sides become dissimilar and show variations.
Since the numbers are carved out, the remaining flat surface area of each dice face differs according to the number of indentations.
For example, the side with ‘one’ has only a single circular indentation in the center; when it lands, the contact area is almost indistinguishable from a completely flat landing, and can essentially be ignored.
Under normal circumstances, when the ‘one’ side lands, since only one circle is carved out and there’s no significant gap in the center, the resulting sound is naturally crisp and clear without any noise.
However, the sides with more numbers vary slightly, and those with real skill can still discern these differences,”
Chu Qingxue explained in great detail, leaving Ximen Leiting and Guo Feng both with a look of astonishment.
Ye Chenfeng felt very honored; having such a wife with him when he went out, who wouldn’t be envious?
“Thus, there’s the concept of ‘listening to the dice’, which is to judge the number on the dice based on the different sounds they make upon falling, and thereby achieve the objective of winning money.
Fang Xuan has profound mastery in listening to dice,” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
“But that still didn’t stop him from losing to you, Brother Ye!” Ximen Leiting remarked.
“Just luck!”
…
“Is Young Master Ye continuing the operation tonight?” the middle-aged man asked.
“The management rights have returned to the Gambling King’s hands; there’s no point in making a move now.
Withdraw everyone!” the young man known as Young Master Ye said grimly.
After speaking in the room, dozens of figures quietly departed from the vicinity of the cruise ship.
Gambling King’s residence.
“Xiao Ye, tonight is my honor, to have once been your master,” the Gambling King said to Ye Chenfeng, his face full of smiles.
“Haha!”
Ye Chenfeng and the Gambling King exchanged smiles.
Ye Chenfeng noticed something amiss with Fang Xuan and another person; certainly, the Gambling King did too, and he would surely win if he were to play.
“Master, you called for me?” At that moment, Le Xunyuan arrived, his eyes filled with resentment as he swept a glance at Ye Chenfeng.
The Gambling King’s gaze slowly fell on Le Xunyuan, whose bone-chilling look made Le Xunyuan shudder, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
“Aren’t you kneeling yet?” The previously smiling Gambling King suddenly turned stern, an overwhelming aura of authority emanating from him.
“Thud!”
At those words, Le Xunyuan knelt to the ground.
“Master, I…”
Le Xunyuan was about to say something but was immediately interrupted by the Gambling King: “You don’t need to explain anything!”
“I…”
Le Xunyuan tried to speak again, but upon seeing the Gambling King’s fearsome gaze, he immediately shut his mouth.
“Master, what’s going on?” Guo Feng couldn’t help asking, perplexed like everyone else why the Gambling King made Le Xunyuan kneel upon his arrival.
The Gambling King ignored Guo Feng and kept his eyes on Le Xunyuan: “Le Xunyuan, from today onwards, our master-disciple relation has ended; you must fend for yourself.
Leave tomorrow!
From now on, you and the Ximen Family have nothing to do with each other.”
“Gasp!”
Everyone was stunned; the Gambling King had just expelled Le Xunyuan from his mentorship without any preamble.
“Dad, what’s happening?
Ximen Leiting was taken aback.
“It seems like Xunyuan hasn’t done anything wrong, has he?”
The Gambling King glared at Le Xunyuan, “He knows best himself.”
“Master, I was wrong, I was momentarily blinded, please give me another chance…”
Suddenly, Le Xunyuan, with a crying tone, said anxiously.
“Some things in life only come once, and you are no longer my disciple!
Please leave immediately!” the Gambling King said coldly, his tone unshakeable.
“Master, Dad, please give him another chance?
Young people make mistakes!
Xunyuan has grown up with us, we all know what kind of person he is,” Guo Feng and Ximen Leiting pleaded for Le Xunyuan.
“No need to say more, my mind is made up.
Ye Chenfeng, Miss Chu, please come with me!” the Gambling King’s decision was irrevocable.
“Master, for all these years, thank you for your nurturing!”
Watching Ximen Qian’s receding figure, Le Xunyuan knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Although it was so, his eyes flashed with scenes of murderous intent.
“Are you going to let him off that easily?” Ye Chenfeng smiled as he asked.
“What else can I do?
After all, I raised him with my own hands, I can’t bring myself to do it,” Ximen Qian sighed.
Ye Chenfeng sat down on the sofa, “You let him go, aren’t you afraid he’ll seek revenge?”
“I believe Xunyuan won’t, I know this kid,” Ximen Qian said with absolute certainty.
“Sometimes, however, people change as their desires grow.”
Ximen Qian looked deeply at Ye Chenfeng, “The waters here are deep, not just the strife of the Seven Factions, but also entangled with Capital City.
People in Capital City have long coveted Macau.”
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze sharpened, “Even the power from Capital City has infiltrated here?”
“Exactly, that’s the most terrifying part.
Fortunately, we won tonight; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Ximen Qian said.
“Could it be Li Qiuming?” Ye Chenfeng intentionally asked.
Ximen Qian shook his head, “Impossible for Li Qiuming; according to his character, he would at most cooperate with others, he would never lower himself to work for someone else.”
“Understood.
Haha, I even thwarted a conspiracy tonight,” Ye Chenfeng laughed.
“Now that I hold the operational rights in my hands, at least for a short while, they won’t be able to threaten me,” Ximen Qian said, “Chu Corporation just became the biggest corporation in Jiangnan, it’s definitely time to expand.
I plan to invest comprehensively in Chu Corporation.”
After this, Ye Chenfeng was uninvolved, as Ximen Qian and Chu Qingxue discussed various collaborations.
If last night was just a preliminary test, tonight they were embarking on large-scale cooperation.
Tonight, Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue did not go to a hotel, but were arranged by Ximen Leiting to stay in the same room.
Chu Qingxue was against it, but felt awkward to speak up, she simply stayed with Ye Chenfeng.
Looking at Ye Chenfeng’s triumphant smile, Chu Qingxue subconsciously kept a distance of four to five meters from him.
“Miss Chu Qingxue?” Ye Chenfeng asked softly from the bed.
“What is it?”
Chu Qingxue asked, puzzled, her face cool and indifferent, devoid of the earlier warmth, yet not as icy as before.
“Could you tell me why you were uncharacteristically different today?” Ye Chenfeng stared at Chu Qingxue’s exquisite face and asked smilingly.
Chu Qingxue, clearly understanding what Ye Chenfeng was asking, responded without a change in expression, “Is there something wrong with that?”
