Even facing the thousand hands of the mahjong parlor, Qian Shumei's luck could still be explosive.
In just a few hands, apart from the money in her own pocket, she had won thousands.
This excited Qian Shumei. She had a feeling that today would repeat the glory of that other day.
After one round, the boss quietly walked up to her and whispered a few words:
"Want to try a bigger venue?"
"Boss, are you trying to trick me? I'm doing so well here, if I move, won't that be... No, no, I'll stay right here!"
"Tsk, how could that be! I just thought, with your luck today, maybe it would be good inside too? We've seen your good fortune, frankly, even I find it hard to believe it's real."
The boss was being polite and flattering.
One reason was her incredible luck, and the other was that the inner circle needed patrons and a chance for her to lose it all.
Anyone who came to this establishment wouldn't have good luck forever. The reason for choosing to be the dealer was that only the dealer was guaranteed to win.
Qian Shumei remained unmoved, no matter what he said.
"Alas, what a waste of such good luck. One session inside would be better than your entire night out here! Don't you think, if you continue like this, who would dare to play?"
The boss, still persistent, whispered in her ear.
Qian Shumei's resolve began to waver.
With such incredible luck, even she herself wouldn't dare to sit at the table, and that was natural.
Furthermore, if it was her day to be lucky, changing venues wouldn't make a difference.
"Alright..."
Qian Shumei seemed to have made up her mind and began to gather the money in front of her. The boss, ever so helpful, quickly assisted.
In reality, winners usually don't move easily.
But she had no choice. The one truly controlling her was Soul Spirit Five.
The gates of hell never announce their arrival!
As soon as Qian Shumei entered the inner circle, many people wanted to get in to watch.
Witnessing someone's sudden wealth was also a legendary experience.
But some people were determined, believing in the principle of "peak leads to decline," and they specifically targeted such individuals.
Qian Shumei's good luck continued for a full hour.
This added even more money to her pile. It was enough not only for her son's tuition but even to help her brother build a house and get married.
Now, in the eyes of others, she was a god, and she couldn't even hear their whispers.
A gambling queen, a legend, overnight riches...
All of this paled in comparison to Soul Spirit Five's flick of a finger.
It decided it was time to stop, to take away all her good luck.
In this round, she once again bet everything.
"Win and possess a million in wealth, lose and..." This was merely a fleeting thought, quickly extinguished.
"Deal!"
As she shouted this, everyone in the room held their breath. It felt as if everyone could hear the frantic beating of each other's hearts!
With a shout of "I won!", the oppressive atmosphere instantly dissolved.
However, the one who shouted was not her, Qian Shumei.
"Impossible! Impossible! This isn't real!"
Qian Shumei screamed, pushing away the chips in front of her.
She had descended into hysterics once again. This was fate's biggest joke on her!
Twice in a row, losing a million?
This time, without Bai Suxiang and Liu Sandao's timely intervention, would she faint again?
Many people watched her, pointing and whispering.
She didn't faint, but she couldn't feel herself breathing.
A thin, unfamiliar man walked up to her and handed her a plate of chips.
"These are borrowed. Do you want to make a comeback?"
Upon hearing "comeback," Qian Shumei saw a glimmer of hope. With her luck today, a comeback would be a matter of minutes.
Qian Shumei fiercely grabbed the chips in front of her, "Slap!"
"Damn it, why are you grabbing me, you bitch!"
Someone slapped her. She snapped back to reality and saw that she was kneeling in front of the boss, clutching his clothes.
"Lend me some money, I'll definitely make a comeback!"
Qian Shumei didn't care about anything else; her actions seemed beyond her control.
"How much? I've got at least ten thousand to start, but what will you use as collateral?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Let him use himself as collateral!"
Someone interjected with a joke, and a round of wicked laughter erupted. "Hahaha!"
"What are you talking about? You want this kind of goods!"
The boss looked disgusted.
"However, that's not a bad idea. But if you can get her to come, I'll lend you the capital."
The boss opened his phone and showed a photo.
"Bai Suxiang?"
Qian Shumei had no idea. This was the first time Bai Suxiang was photographed at the mahjong parlor. The boss had deliberately done it; a woman of that caliber was rare in this place.
The reason he hadn't intervened last time was that he suspected she might be an informant.
But after a few days of investigation, he found no connection to the authorities. Anyone in this business would have powerful backing.
With Bai Suxiang's mediocre gambling skills, she wouldn't have escaped his notice.
She was clearly a novice. If not for Qian Shumei's incredible luck that day, her few tricks wouldn't have been enough.
"If she comes, you'll lend me fifty thousand... thirty thousand!"
Qian Shumei couldn't afford to be picky. She originally wanted more, but her courage failed her; she didn't know if Bai Suxiang was worth that much.
As this wicked thought arose, she instinctively convinced herself: Bai Suxiang was just a stranger. If they just asked her to come over, they would lend her money, and she wouldn't lose anything...
"Alright, alright, as long as she comes, I'll lend you the money!"
The boss agreed casually.
Not only would he lend his own money, but he would also meet the person he wanted to see. To him, both women were prey.
Qian Shumei called Bai Suxiang without much hesitation.
"Hello, Sister Mei, it's so late, what's up?"
When the call was answered, Bai Suxiang asked with a hint of confusion.
"Come to the mahjong parlor, as soon as possible!"
Qian Shumei barely gave Bai Suxiang a chance to speak. She believed that given Bai Suxiang's nature and her recent experiences, she would definitely come.
Human nature is inherently good!
Who would have thought that someone you barely knew would harm you? Besides, the mahjong parlor wasn't far from the Good Fortune Inn.
Bai Suxiang didn't think too much about it.
Qian Shumei calling her so late, perhaps she wanted her to set up a game again? To be safe, she decided to call Liu Sandao to accompany her.
Qian Shumei, waiting for Bai Suxiang at the mahjong parlor, was unaware that a pair of eyes were watching her.
Soul Spirit Five was observing her, like a cat watching a mouse.
At this moment, a pair of hands steadily rested on Soul Spirit Five's shoulder!
