The Young Master of Tongtai Bank Wasn't Getting Scared, Was He?

Half an hour later, Tongtai Bank Manman over a box of silver notes.

The people from the gambling den came over to inspect it, nodded, and said, "Two million taels of silver notes, no problem."

The entire gambling den erupted in excitement.

"Zhao Kun, did you see that? One child pulled out 2 million taels of silver notes, and the other one isn't much older, maybe ten or so! Wow, that's incredible!"

"We simply can't come up with that much money. If we had that much, wouldn't we be a top-tier aristocratic family?"

Zhao Kun's lips twitched. Even for the entire Zhao Family, it wouldn't be an easy task to gather so many silver notes.

Now he realized just how terrifying Zhou Wanwan really was.

This is a one-on-one contest.

Sun Tai sat opposite, Zhou Wanwan sat beside him. Looking at Zhao Kun, she said, "Go get me some fruit and pour me a glass of water. I want to drink Moli milk tea."

Zhao Kun's friends said:

"Don't you have any manners?"

Do you know who he is? He's the head of the Zhao Family now.

"I don't know where Zhao Kun came from, he actually dared to order you around!"

Those around gasped. "This is the head of the Zhao Family! Is this kid courting death?"

"He's so arrogant and ignorant. Just wait and see how the Zhao Family head teaches him a lesson."

"Zhao Kun?"

Zhao Kun's friends discovered that he was gone.

After a while, Zhao Kun came over carefully with a tray and said, "I had someone cut watermelon, strawberries, grapes, and lychees. Would you like me to peel these lychees for you?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at his hands and said, "Wash your hands."

Zhao Kun quickly washed his hands, sat down next to Zhou Wanwan, and peeled lychees for her.

Sun Tai, looking at Zhao Kun, asked, "Brother Kun, is this your son?"

Zhou Wanwan disguised herself as a man, and everyone thought she was a boy.

Zhao Kun glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't even gotten married yet! Where would I get a son?"

Sun Tai rubbed his nose and said, "Then he's related to the imperial family? I've never heard of him being any prince."

Zhao Kun said calmly, "He's a friend of mine."

Sun Tai scoffed lightly, "So you're just friends! You really have bad taste."

Zhao Kun frowned and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you going to play or not?"

Comparing sizes is quite simple.

The first hand, the dealer has already placed it.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Sun Tai and asked, "Are you planning to go all in at once, or are you planning to play several rounds?"

Sun Tai sneered, "There's no difference at all, it's all in one go."

The cousins looked at Cui Wenyuan and said, "Cui Wenyuan, this kid has gone all in, aren't you going to do something for him?"

Cui Wenyuan looked at them and asked, "Are you also planning to place a bet?"

They all nodded and said, "We must take him."

These people were generous spenders, and soon the gambling table was piled high with stuff.

Cui Wenyuan pledged all his silver.

The dealer smiled and said to them, "Place your bets now, it's time to open!"

The entire casino was silent; everyone was intently watching the dice cup in the dealer's hand.

Sun Tai's hands trembled. You see, he had taken out most of the silver from Tongtai Bank today.

If he loses today, he'll probably get a good beating from his father.

He bet big.

Zhou Wanwan bet on the small one.

After peeling the lychees, Zhao Kun looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Would you like to eat anything else?"

Zhou Wanwan took a sip of her milk tea and said, "I don't want to eat right now. We'll have a late-night snack later, and I want hot pot."

Zhao Kun looked at her and said, "Okay, after we finish here, let's go eat hot pot. How did you know there was hot pot here?"

The third floor of this casino is a hot pot restaurant, and the hot pot there is incredibly delicious.

Zhou Wanwan said casually, "I heard that the hot pot here is delicious."

There's also a hot pot restaurant upstairs.

Anyway, casinos have all kinds of shops.

There's a hot spring resort, a hot pot restaurant, and a barbecue restaurant.

Anyway, the shops here are the kind you rarely see elsewhere.

In addition, there are all kinds of high-end period costumes, bags, jewelry, and ornaments.

This casino is quite large.

Shen Tao, the Xin'an County, would frequently send people to inspect this area.

There's nothing we can do; this city that never sleeps is just too profitable these days!

Is Xin'an County's tax revenue now inseparable from this place?

Sun Tai snorted coldly and said, "You're still thinking about food now? Wait until you lose 2 million, then you'll be eating shit!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

Even if I lose 2 million, I don't live off that 2 million; I still need to eat.

Besides, Zhao Kun is treating, right?

Zhao Kun grinned and said, "Absolutely! It'll be my treat."

Sun Tai snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe you won't feel the pinch of 2 million."

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "You'd better mind your own business!"

The dealer opened it and said, "112, small."

Sun Tai sat there, dumbfounded. Zhou Wanwan Sun Tai looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't the young master of Tongtai Bank scared?"

Sun Tai wanted to speak, but his mind was buzzing and he couldn't say anything.

That's 2 million taels of silver!

The young masters' expressions were also unpleasant.

One of the young masters said, "Cui Wenyuan, we're all family. We've lost so badly now, you can't just stand by and watch us die!"

"We came here to have fun with you, and now it's turned out like this, you have to take responsibility."

"Sun Tai has lost 2 million taels of silver, and his father doesn't even know. If he did, he would definitely break his legs."

Cui Wenyuan, why don't you talk to him and get those 2 million taels of silver back?

Cui Wenyuan said calmly, "Didn't you say that a bet is a bet? Why are you making me return the money now?"

The young masters looked extremely unwell.

Everyone lost a lot, and they had no way to explain it when they got home.

"We were just saying it casually back then, did you really take it seriously? We're all family."

Zhou Wanwan couldn't hold back any longer:

"A family? Thanks to your family, otherwise we wouldn't have had a chance to lose even if we wanted to."

"Ten thousand taels of silver to buy Cui Wenyuan's entire life, that's actually quite a good deal, isn't it?"

The young masters' expressions changed. "You... how did you know?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"You're just guessing! Aren't you making it obvious enough?"

They got us drunk, took us to a casino, and made Cui Wenyuan sign a contract selling himself to them for 100,000 taels of silver.

"Tell me, where is Cui Wenyuan worth 100,000 taels?"

In most gambling dens, being able to borrow 500 taels of silver, like Cui Wenyuan, is already considered extremely lucky.

Although Cui Wenyuan was an illegitimate son of the Cui Family, he ran a gambling den; whose family situation was unknown to everyone?

The cousins, their eyes red, said, "Cui Wenyuan, we're cousins!"

Cui Wenyuan nodded slightly and said:

"Yes! We're cousins!"

Even when I'm at home, I still get bullied by you guys quite a bit.

Although I am a son born out of wedlock, this status is not something I can decide, so why are you treating me like this?

All the cousins lowered their heads.

Zhou Wanwan ignored them and simply left with the money.

Zhao Kun looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Let's go eat hot pot now."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's go, it's on me."

Many people were staring at Zhou Wanwan.

Sun Tai glared at Zhou Wanwan, wishing he could devour her.

Zhou Wanwan went up to the third floor and had just entered the private room when the food started being served.

Zhao Kun's friends looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You're really something, little one! Didn't you see? Sun Tai's face turned green."

"This matter isn't that simple. I don't think Sun Tai will let it go so easily. You should be careful."

Zhao Kun nodded and said, "Yeah, we really should be careful. Sun Tai is going to be in big trouble this time."

Sun Tai lost 2 million taels of silver in one fell swoop, which essentially emptied Tongtai Bank.

The owner of Tongtai Bank is unaware of this yet; once he finds out, the entire exchange will likely collapse.
