Nian Yue returned to class and leaned against the back wall with nonchalance. There was a message from Manager Zhao.

Making VR virtual glasses required a huge amount of funding.

The funds from the Lin Group were not enough.

Nian Yue rubbed her temples with her slender and fair fingers. She took her school jacket and left the class.

When she arrived, the bank was still in its operational hours. She handed her bank card to the counter. “I’m looking for your manager.”

That counter staff took her card and placed it on the card reader. After taking a look, she stood up and handed the card to Nian Yue respectfully. “Please wait a moment.”
Nian Yue leaned against the chair, looking indifferent. Her fair fingers were holding onto her phone, and only her eyes were as deep as ink.

The office door was pushed open and a young man in his thirties walked out.

‘When the man saw her, he said respectfully, “Hello, can I help you?”

“Yes.” Nian Yue nodded slightly. The manager led her to the office. When he saw the amount of money she had transferred, he was speechless.

Nian Yue only took back her card after she was done transferring the money. The manager followed behind her with a radiant smile. “Madam, our bank has insurance policies as well. Do you need them?”
“No, thanks.” Nian Yue left with her school uniform.

The manager looked disappointed when she left.

Nian Yue left the bank and took a glance at the sunlight outside. Then, she took out her phone and called Lin Nan. “Where is the biggest casino in Jiang City?”

*

On the surface, the underground casino belonged to Jiang City, but in reality, it had its own rules.

Over the years, the underground casinos had expanded and contributed to half of Jiang City’s economy. It was said that the one controlling the underground casinos was the young master of the Zhang family.
As for the background of the Zhang family’s young master and what he looked like, no one knew.

This was because that young master had never appeared in public.

It was said that the young boss of the Zhang family came to the underground casino personally to hold the bidding for the collaboration next year.

To be able to establish a relationship with this young master was equivalent to gaining a foothold in Jiang City.

Therefore, other than the wealthy families in Jiang City, people were sent from the capital to engage him.

Even so, there was an endless stream of people in the underground casino.

Nian Yue walked in. She was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. Her hair was casually tied up and she was dressed simply. However, her aura was not to be ignored.
The rest of the people in the underground casino looked over at the same time.

Those who could hang out in underground casinos were all intelligent people with good judgment.

‘When they saw that Nian Yue was just a young lady and that the people following behind her were also seventeen or eighteen years old students, they all looked away.
There was no lack of rich people in the underground casinos. It was not uncommon for a few students to come and have fun.

Nian Yue walked in slowly with one hand in her pocket.

Her eyes narrowed when she saw the card table in the innermost room.

Nian Yue walked over, followed by Lin Nan and Wang Zhizhi.

It was Wang Zhizhi’s first time coming to such a place. She was a little nervous and subconsciously followed Nian Yue closely.

Nian Yue walked to a table and sat down.

This table was placed in the innermost room. It was also the most honorable place in the entire underground casino.

Those who could sit on this table had assets that were worth over a hundred million.

“Little girl, do you want to play?”

Sitting opposite her was a middle-aged man in his thirties. When he saw her sit down, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Logically speaking, a young lady like Nian Yue was not qualified to enter the room.

But not only did she come in today, she even brought two more kids with her.

This situation was rather intriguing.

“Of course.” Nian Yue curled her lips. A black card had already appeared in her hand. Her slender and fair fingers were holding onto the black card, which appeared to be glowing under the lighting.
“Is this wager enough?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.

She exerted some force and the black card was already in front of the man.

The man took it and took a look.

Black. The diamond logo.

Almost instantly, ten thousand possibilities flashed through his mind. When the others saw her take out the black card, someone had already laughed out loud. “Little girl, is this your first time here? What’s the use of taking a card…”

“That’s right, little girl. In a place like this, the most valuable thing is always gold and silver

They had thought that she would not understand and explained to her.
Nian Yue was expressionless from the start to the end. She just crossed her arms and looked at the man holding the black card calmly. He was the one with the most authority.

“All of you, shut up!” The man’s expression was obviously not good. He got someone to return the black card to Nian Yue before continuing, “Of course this card is enough. But let me say this first, don’t cry if you lose…”
“Let’s begin.” Nian Yue did not waste any time and said coldly.

She was just a seventeen-year-old girl, but no one dared to look down on her.

Nian Yue was expressionless throughout. Her eyes only glanced at the cards indifferently without any other expression.

‘Wang Zhizhi looked at Lin Nan worriedly. She knew that Nian Yue was good, but gambling depended on luck.

Could Nian Yue win?

Lin Nan gave her a reassuring look.

Only Nian Yue, who was sitting on the main seat, remained expressionless from beginning to end. She even leaned languidly against the seat. Rather than saying that she was here to gamble, it was more accurate to say that she was here to play.
‘When the others saw her like this, they only thought that she was the daughter of some rich family and came to have fun. They did not take her seriously at all.

However, no one expected that the seventeen-year-old girl would win every round.

In the corridor on the second floor, a man dressed in black looked at the girl below and narrowed his eyes. His expression could not be seen clearly, but the aura he exuded was oppressive.

“How long has she been here?” Zhang Heng asked with narrowed eyes.

“About half an hour.” Beside him was a man in his twenties. He wore a pair of golden glasses.

“How many rounds did she win?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Three rounds. Almost never lost,” the man replied, his voice already a little hoarse.

“Three rounds…”

‘As Zhang Heng read this number, something seemed to flash in his mind. After a long while, the cigarette in his hand burned out and the corners of his lips curled up. “Let Zhang Ran take her on.”
“Him?”

The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses. “He doesn’t fancy…”
She had only won three rounds in a row, so she was unable to meet Zhang Ran’s standards.

“Then get out and don’t come back.” Zhang Heng sneered and slowly threw away the cigarette in his hand. He took a handkerchief and wiped his fingers one by one.

“Tl instruct him to go over now.” The bespectacled man carried his briefcase and left.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Nian Yue, who was sitting below, suddenly looked up at this moment. Her eyes met his.

Zhang Heng raised his hand and pressed down the curtain. The sky-blue curtain was lowered and their gazes were separated.

The gambling had already progressed to the fourth round. Just as the next round was about to start, a man’s sloppy voice sounded. “I wonder if I can have a bet with the young lady?”
The person was dressed in a black suit. His hair was dyed a wine-red color and he looked unrestrained.

He was only 20 years old, but had a strong presence.

“Young Master Zhang, why are you here?” Someone recognized Zhang Ran and immediately stood up to give him the seat.

Zhang Ran, the second-in-charge of the underground casino, was known as the gambling king.

As long as he was around, he would never lose.

However, this person was unrestrained, especially when he had to compete with a young lady.

After all, everyone in the industry knew that Zhang Ran despised women the most.

With a lollipop in his mouth, Zhang Ran casually sat opposite her. “Little girl, do you want to bet?”

“Of course.” Nian Yue agreed readily. She could clearly see the disdain in Zhang Ran’s eyes, but her face still looked excessively cold.

With the cards between her index and middle fingers, she looked rather nonchalant. “What are we betting on?”

“Since this is the little girl’s first time here, I don’t have high expectations…” Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes and pointed at Wang Zhizhi.” I want her…”
“Don’t even think about it!” Lin Nan said coldly.

Zhang Ran was obviously up to no good. How could Wang Zhizhi, who was still in school, be given to him!

This person was clearly here to humiliate them!

“Look, why are you so nervous…” Zhang Ran narrowed her eyes.” I’m not done talking…”
He slowly took out a lollipop from his pocket and threw it over.

The lollipop was thrown into the air. Someone raised his hand to it!

Nian Yue’s gaze turned cold. “Since we are going to play, let’s raise the stakes. If I win, how about giving your life to me?”

Everyone present gasped at her conditions!

Zhang Ran was a member of the Zhang Clan. The fact that Zhang Ran was still able to remain standing despite having opened the underground gambling den for so many years meant that there was someone of high status backing him up!
Nian Yue was just a young lady. How could she say that she wanted to take his life?!

“Alright.” Zhang Ran agreed readily. “If you lose, give me that card.”

He saw the black card immediately.

That man was the most obsessed when it came to things from the Fu family in the capital. He did not expect the black card to be in the hands of this young lady.

“Sure.” Nian Yue nodded.

“Since you’re here to gamble, why don’t we compete in the simplest way?” Zhang Ran raised his eyebrows. As soon as he finished speaking, someone had already taken the dice over.

“One round to decide the winner.” Zhang Ran smiled seductively. His unrestrained face was even more beautiful than a woman’s.

In his opinion, Nian Yue was able to win three consecutive rounds only because she had some ability. But if he were to come up against her, that would be another story!

“Sure.” Nian Yue smirked and took the dice..
