The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 276 Hmph, trying to trick me?
Nineteen million five hundred thousand?

Bai Sheng and Chu Jiayi were both stunned.

Aren't you supposed to be a security guard?

He can just pull out a card and have so much money, and then casually use it as a bet?

A high-stakes gamble of 20 million?

Bai Sheng initially looked down on Lin Chen, thinking that he was just a brainless brute. He thought that he, as a business elite, might not be able to beat him in a fight, but in life, who makes a living by fighting? It all comes down to money.

But Bai Sheng was completely bewildered when Lin Chen suddenly took out 20 million to gamble.

Although he owns a company and is quite wealthy, capable of coming up with 20 million, it's impossible for him to gamble so recklessly.

Is Lin Chen really that rich?

true or false?

Bai Sheng looked at Gu Yuexi beside him and saw that Gu Yuexi also looked surprised, so he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Yuexi.

It's obvious that Gu Yuexi, despite her privileged background, couldn't possibly have gotten 20 million for gambling.
In other words, if what Lin Chen said is true, then all 20 million belongs to Lin Chen, and Gu Yuexi was unaware of it.

He subconsciously looked at Chu Jiayi, only to find that Chu Jiayi also looked bewildered and shocked.

She had just mocked Gu Yuexi for being so pathetic as to date a security guard, and for not being able to afford even a million to gamble, when the security guard turned around and pulled out twenty million to slap her in the face.

Chu Jiayi's face flushed red instantly.

She's always the one who slaps others in the face and mocks others; no one else dares to mock her or slap her in the face.

She's from the Chu family of Linhai!

Although her father was not from the head of the family branch, he was still from a core branch. Her father held a high position in the Chu family, and consequently, she was respected by everyone outside the family.

These aren't the most important things. The most important thing is that she simply can't afford to gamble!

She can't come up with 20 million!
Even though she is the only daughter in her family and has a lot of pocket money and a comfortable life, that's 20 million, not 2,000!

Lin Chen looked at Chu Jiayi, whose face was flushed, and asked with a surprised expression, "What's wrong, Miss Chu? Are you afraid to accept? As a young lady of the Chu family, you can't possibly not even come up with 20 million, can you?"

Chu Jiayi's face flushed red. Lin Chen had returned her words tenfold, which was tantamount to slapping her hard across the face.

Seeing Chu Jiayi's expression, Bai Sheng knew that Chu Jiayi couldn't come up with 20 million and had been "checkmated" by Lin Chen. He quickly came to her rescue, saying, "When you're out having fun, a little gambling is fine. Why gamble so much? It's unnecessary, unnecessary."

Lin Chen casually replied, "Yeah, a little gambling is harmless fun. Twenty million isn't much, just for fun."

Bai Sheng's face froze. Twenty million was considered a small bet?
Have fun?

He didn't know how to respond. He couldn't just say that he couldn't afford to gamble, could he? If Lin Chen replied, "You can't even afford to gamble 20 million, yet you look down on everyone so arrogantly. Who are you calling a poor bastard?" wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

Gu Yuexi looked excited, her eyes filled with joy.

Showing off, huh?

Serves you right for being so smug. Now you're not smug anymore.

Lin Chen never disappoints!
too handsome!
Seeing that Bai Sheng was silent, Lin Chen turned to Chu Jiayi and said, "Miss Chu, if you think the stakes are too high and you can't afford to play, that's fine. Just say so and we'll stop playing."

When Chu Jiayi heard Lin Chen's last sentence, a thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that he was bluffing when he said there were 20 million in that card?

The other party was certain that I couldn't come up with 20 million, which is why they said that—they were just trying to trick me.

How could a security guard possibly come up with 20 million?

And they even used 20 million to gamble on bowling?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Upon realizing this, Chu Jiayi was instantly enraged. "They've tried to trick me!"

You almost fooled me!

Chu Jiayi sneered, "Twenty million, oh no, nineteen million five hundred thousand, that's quite a convincing story. You probably don't even have twenty thousand in your account, are you trying to scare me? Fine, come on, call and check your account to see if you have that much money. If you do, I'll bet with you!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If I prove I have that much money, will you bet?"

Chu Jiayi nodded and said matter-of-factly, "That's right. Even in a gambling game, you have to verify the funds, right? Ordinary gambling games don't verify funds because they're sure the other party can come up with them. But 20 million? You're just a security guard. Do you think I'd believe you? Even if you're trying to scam me, at least give me a more believable number."

Upon hearing Chu Jiayi's words, Bai Sheng blinked, his eyes showing a hint of realization.

Right, how could a security guard possibly come up with 20 million?
I was actually fooled.

A hint of unease appeared in Gu Yuexi's eyes.

She knew Lin Chen was very capable, but could Lin Chen come up with 20 million?
Lin Chen used to pretend to be her boyfriend, and it only cost her tens of thousands of yuan.

Lin Chen glanced at the three of them and smiled, "Alright, you want to verify your credentials? Then let's verify them."

Lin Chen took out his phone, dialed the telephone banking service, entered his transaction password, checked his balance, and turned on speakerphone.

"...Current balance: 19.5 million..."
