He Hongjie called the gambling magnate of City M back at once.
The gambling magnate of City M was worried that “Tang Aining” might turn him down, because he knew little about her.
He Hongjie gave him “Tang Aining’s” phone number a while later.
The gambling magnate of City M then called “Tang Aining” without delay.
The gambling magnate of City M was named Ye Chaoxiong. He was 57 years old and several years older than He Hongjie.
When Gu Ning received Ye Chaoxiong’s call, she had already been on the He family’s yacht with the others for a short while.
“Hi, who is this?” Gu Ning answered his call.
“Hi, Miss Tang, I’m Ye Chaoxiong,” Ye Chaoxiong said in a deep calm voice. He sounded serious and powerful but not threatening.
“Nice to hear from you, Mr. Ye,” Gu Ning said with confidence and politeness. She didn’t think that she was inferior to him.
From the simple sentence, Ye Chaoxiong could already feel that the person wasn’t simple at all.
“Miss Tang, I bet that you must know why I called you,” Ye Chaoxiong said. He stopped for a second, then continued, “I just read the news that you had a gambling competition with Fan Zhihao, and that you didn’t lose once. Would you mind playing a round with me?”
Ye Chaoxiong was very kind and polite. He wouldn’t force her to gamble with him.
“It’s my honor to gamble with Mr. Ye, but I think that there should still be a bet since it’s gambling,” Gu Ning said. She wouldn’t waste time on gambling without making any money.
“Of course,” Ye Chaoxiong said. He also thought it would be boring if there was no bet.
“Well, Mr. Ye, when do you want to have the competition?” Gu Ning asked.
“The sooner, the better. I’m free every day. It depends on your free time,” Ye Chaoxiong said.
“I’m sorry. I’m occupied right now. Can I call you back when I’m done?” Gu Ning asked. She wasn’t sure whether they could find He Siyang this time, and how much time it would take.
“No problem. Please feel free to call me.” Ye Chaoxiong was very considerate.
After that, they hung up the call at the same time.
Gu Ning went back to the cabin, and sensed the tense atmosphere inside.
He Yishao didn’t know that Leng Shaoting was Gu Ning’s boyfriend, so he kept talking to Gu Ning right in front of him.
Gu Ning had done the He family a great favor, so He Yishao was very grateful to her. Moreover, He Yishao admired Gu Ning for her outstanding gambling skills, so he treated her with a lot of enthusiasm.
Therefore, Leng Shaoting directly took action to show his ownership of Gu Ning. He pulled Gu Ning aside without saying a word and left He Yishao there alone in embarrassment.
Seeing her boyfriend being jealous again, Gu Ning didn’t know what to say.
After knowing that they were a couple, He Yishao also realized that his behavior was a little inappropriate.
“Well, you’re going to make a fortune again,” He Siyin said to Gu Ning. She believed that Gu Ning was the best gambler she had ever seen.
“Why are you so confident in me?” Gu Ning was amused.
“Ha-ha, you’re the best gambler in the world in my eyes,” He Siyin said. Only Gu Ning could correctly tell the specific numbers on the dice every time during Sic Bo.
Only Gu Ning could be so lucky as to win the most bets in 5 card stud.
Only Gu Ning could make money every time playing the slot machine and even win all the chips in the prize pool. It was a one in a million chance that a person could do that after all.
Gu Ning smiled, but didn’t explain it.
“You’re famous now, and there will be more and more skilled gamblers who want to compete against you; you’ll make endless money!” He Siyin said. She was envious, but not jealous of Gu Ning. Money was a good thing, but it came with a price.
Gu Ning was indeed famous now, but it brought her trouble as well.
Many people in this world would do illegal things to get rid of their enemies or people who stood in their way of their own benefits.
Thinking of that, He Siyin was worried about Gu Ning’s safety. “You must be very careful from now on.”
“I will, don’t worry.” Gu Ning was grateful that He Siyin cared about her.
In fact, it was very hard for others to hurt Gu Ning, unless they could kill her within a second.
As long as she had time, she could save her life with magical power on her own.
…
Leng Shaoting remained silent, but thought to himself that he would do everything to protect his girl.
After that, they talked about their plan to find He Siyang.
“We need to discuss our plan to find my younger brother now, because signals are very weak on the island. Whether we can find him during the day or not, we must meet back at the shore before the sky gets dark. It’s very dangerous to stay on the island at night. There are beasts,” He Yishao said.
Although he was anxious about his younger brother’s safety, he also cared about his friends.
They didn’t know whether He Siyang was still safe, but none of them should be put in danger either.
