Su Chen responded modestly, "No, it's just luck. Who knows if I will lose everything I won in the next round."
In fact, the reason why Su Chen dared to bet boldly on the leopard was not simply relying on luck, but because he had an unknown secret - he possessed a special system skill [Magic Eye].
With the help of this skill, the sealed dice box is almost transparent to him, allowing him to easily predict the final number of the dice.
This gambling game not only made Ye Lan look at Su Chen with new respect, but also allowed Su Chen to successfully hide his own strength, temporarily making everyone mistakenly believe that his victory was solely due to luck.
This confrontation between the two undoubtedly added a bit of mystery and focus of discussion to the Yanshang Tea House, and made people look forward to a possible showdown between the two in the future.
Su Chen felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart, and his heart beat faster as he imagined the possible consequences if Ye Lan continued to gamble with him.
In his fantasy, not only 3.6 million Mora, but even the sovereignty of the casino, Yanshang Tea House, could fall into his hands. This thought made Su Chen smile slightly, looking forward to everything that might happen.
For Su Chen, winning Ye Lan's wealth was not his real purpose. After all, in his eyes, the property boundary between husband and wife was not obvious.
What he was really interested in was to see what kind of reaction and expression Ye Lan, the casino owner who thought she had unparalleled gambling skills, would have when she found out that she was no match for Su Chen.
Ye Lan was somewhat puzzled by Su Chen's behavior, and there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes. At first, she even suspected whether Su Chen had adopted some improper means, but she quickly abandoned this idea.
According to her logic, Yanshang Tea House is her territory. Is there anyone who would dare to cheat on her here?
This thought made her feel a little funny, and it also reminded her that Su Chen's victory might just be a coincidence of luck.
......
Half an hour later.
"Boss Ye Lan, I'm sorry, I won again, hahahahaha!"
At this time, all the gambling tables around stopped gambling and came to watch the battle between Su Chen and Ye Lan.
Seeing the mountain of bills in front of Su Chen, everyone was shocked!
This heroine who is invincible at the gambling table has finally met her match!
In just half an hour, they didn't dare to calculate how much money Su Chen won, nor could they calculate it clearly, but one thing was certain...
...is definitely an astronomical figure!
"Boss! No more gambling! If you gamble again, this teahouse will be gone!"
Chu Yi had already rushed to the sixth floor at this time, and grabbed Ye Lan, who was still unwilling to admit defeat, and looked at Su Chen with resentment in his eyes.
I thought it was the God of Wealth, but who knew it was the God of Plague?
Su Chen glanced at the sky and it was getting late.
Shen He, Ying, and the emergency cup were waiting for him to return.
I didn’t expect that my first meeting with Ye Lan would be like this.
But...I'm afraid Ye Lan will never forget it in her life?
Su Chen put away the bank bills on the table and waved goodbye to Ye Lan in a very casual manner.
Just as he arrived near the Central Bridge, he saw a phantom flash in front of him, with a strong fluctuation of water element.
"You can't go."
………………
Chapter 434: Playing special games with Ye Lan?
As Ye Lan walked lightly through the tea room and came in front of Su Chen, every step she took seemed to stir up a subtle fluctuation in the air.
Under the blue side bangs, the pair of eyes as green as the deep sea were locked on Su Chen. Although her gaze was still as cold as before, it now had a bit more gentle luster than the sharpness when they first met.
"After winning so much money from me, it's really disrespectful for you to leave without making any noise."
There was a hint of amusement in Ye Lan's voice, but her expression was serious.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking both naughty and relaxed, and asked, "Why, Boss Ye Lan, as the head of the casino, can't you afford to lose such a small amount of money?"
Ye Lan's appearance was obviously not for money, which Su Chen knew very well, but he still pretended to be horrified and said half-jokingly: "Are you trying to take back these winnings through not-so-honest means? I have to warn you, we are in Liyue City now!"
As he spoke, he pointed specifically at the Qianyan Army patrolling not far away, as if hinting to Ye Lan not to act rashly.
Ye Lan was unmoved. She clasped her arms across her chest and slowly walked in front of Su Chen, her eyes deep, as if she could see through his thoughts.
At this time, a sea breeze blew up from the bridge, making Ye Lan's coat rustle behind her.
It was rare for Ye Lan to meet an opponent in the casino. Instead of being angry, she was a little happy.
Of course, the main reason is that the money belongs to Ningguang...
"You are the little boyfriend that Ningguang mentioned, right?"
Su Chen looked at Ye Lan with a little surprise. As expected of a detective, he had found out his identity so quickly.
As if seeing through Su Chen's thoughts, Ye Lan said with a half-smile:
"You must be wondering why I know this."
"Don't worry, I don't have the time to investigate these boring things. It's just that 10 million Northland Bank note you just gave me."
"If I'm not mistaken, the signature on it is Ningguang, right?"
Although she was shorter than Su Chen, Ye Lan still looked aggressive when she looked at Su Chen.
'Is that the check?'
However, Su Chen did not intend to hide it. In fact, this matter could not be concealed at all. Just in the gossip section of the Steambird Newspaper, there were countless gossips about him and Ningguang every day.
Seeing that Su Chen seemed a little shy, Ye Lan patted Su Chen's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't eat you."
"We were good friends before Ningguang became a Tianquan Star. You are Ningguang's boyfriend, so to some extent, we know each other."
Ye Lan suddenly showed her agility as a casino owner, lightly drawing an elegant semicircle in the air, and instantly maintained a safe distance of one meter from Su Chen.
She casually tidied up the slightly messy bangs on her forehead. This action not only showed her casualness, but also inadvertently revealed a kind of unruly charm.
"Oh, by the way, we've been chatting for so long that I actually forgot to formally introduce myself."
There was a hint of lighthearted teasing in Ye Lan's voice, as if reminding Su Chen that their communication went far beyond that.
She smiled slightly, and that smile seemed like the sunshine in the early summer morning, warm and bright, "Hello, Su Chen, I am Ye Lan."
"I am currently in charge of some intelligence-related work at the Liyue General Affairs Department."
Ye Lan continued, with a hint of pride in her tone, and she was obviously quite satisfied with her career. "Because of work, I rarely stay in Liyue City. This may be the reason why you haven't seen me before."
She paused and added, "However, I have been relatively free recently. If you are interested, please feel free to come to the Yanshang Teahouse to see me at any time."
Ye Lan's words were full of invitation and expectation, as if she had already regarded Su Chen as a friend worth associating with.
However, Ye Lan's apparent ease and enthusiasm was actually an atmosphere she deliberately created.
As an experienced agent, she has long been accustomed to hiding her true identity in various situations, whether in front of enemies or friends.
For Ye Lan, how to define Su Chen’s role—enemy or friend—is still an unknown.
Su Chen’s mysterious background, coupled with his close relationship with Ningguang, makes him a presence that cannot be ignored in Ye Lan’s eyes. He is like a time bomb that can explode at any time, posing a potential threat to the peace of Liyue.
Therefore, Ye Lan had already included Su Chen in the "Special Attention List" in her mind. She observed secretly, determined not to miss any clues that could reveal Su Chen's true identity and intentions.
During this brief contact with Su Chen, Ye Lan has tried many times to detect the fluctuations of elemental power in his body, trying to judge Su Chen's true strength through these subtle clues.
However, all the investigation results point to the same conclusion: Su Chen's strength seems mediocre. This confuses Ye Lan. She doesn't understand why Ningguang, an "old woman" who always holds herself to high standards and never easily falls in love with others, would have a good impression of such a seemingly insignificant man who has neither outstanding strength nor wealth and status.
However, while admitting all this, Ye Lan also had an undeniable fact in her heart - Su Chen's appearance was indeed attractive.
Although she had seen many handsome men, Su Chen's appearance was quite outstanding among them, and even ranked high in Ye Lan's heart.
She had to admit that Su Chen's charm was not just superficial. His indescribable attraction made Ye Lan involuntarily pay more attention to him.
"Hello, my name is Su Chen, nice to meet you."
This was the third time Su Chen introduced himself, but Ye Lan had not responded to him yet. Instead, she stared at him in a daze.
What is this silly girl thinking?
"No...I'm so sorry, I was a little distracted just now!"
Ye Lan adjusted her bangs in front of her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.
I couldn't help but blame myself secretly. As a well-trained agent, how could I lose my composure like this when meeting a stranger for the first time?
However, she had no idea that when she put Su Chen on her hunting list, she had actually become Su Chen's hunting target.
Even this "chance encounter" in the casino was something Su Chen could create.
At this moment, a system prompt sound suddenly flashed through Su Chen's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a temporary mission. Ye Lan plays a special game. Rewards: purple items, favorability points.]
Several pieces of information flashed before Su Chen's light curtain.
Based on the principle that the fewer words, the bigger the matter, Su Chen almost exclaimed when he saw the words "special gameplay" on the task prompt.
Freya's evil taste is getting more and more weird. She has been giving weird tasks recently. It seems that I have to find some time to deal with this little female ghost!
However, the system's reward was very generous, and Su Chen couldn't help but start thinking about how to complete this task.
………………
Considering that the two had just met for the first time, they obviously had not yet established enough trust and intimacy to reach the level of role exchange.
In this case, asking them to role-play, especially in such a sensitive role positioning, is undoubtedly extremely unfair to both of them.
So how can this weird task be completed? It seems that solving this problem requires creative thinking, perhaps finding a middle ground acceptable to both parties, or using an indirect approach to make the execution of the task less directly conflicting.
"By the way, I haven't seen Ningguang for a long time. It just so happened that when I left Liyue this time, I bought some perfume and jewelry from abroad. They are the styles that Ningguang likes."
"But I've been busy running the casino lately and don't have time to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion."
"Can you help me deliver it?"
Ye Lan looked at Su Chen, her words earnest and sincere.
Perfume and jewelry?
Ye Lan, are you sure this is something you would care about?
Although he was full of doubts, Su Chen still followed Ye Lan to her home.
Speechless all the way.
The two walked in the alley, one in front and one behind.
Su Chen always felt that Ye Lan was suddenly a little strange. There were fewer and fewer people around her. After turning into a small alley, there was no one around.
"Ye Lan, where is your home that you are talking about?"
As Su Chen finished speaking, he saw the jade bracelet on Ye Lan's right hand emitting a faint blue fluorescence, and then Ye Lan disappeared.
The power of the water element in the air is surging.
A moment later, when Ye Lan appeared again, Su Chen had been tied up tightly and then fell to the ground with a thump.
"Ye Lan, what...what are you going to do to me?"
There was no smile on Ye Lan's face at this moment. One of her high heels stepped lightly on Su Chen's shoulder, and the other hand held the thread:
"Hmph. You'd better tell me everything you've been hiding."
………………
Chapter 435: Weird shame play?
Su Chen was blindfolded with a black cloth. When the cloth was removed, he had been taken to an unfamiliar room by Ye Lan.
His hands and feet were tied to the torture chair.
Ye Lan folded her hands, sitting at a table not far from him, looking at him with an extremely unfriendly look.
"Ms. Ye Lan, I don't have any fetish for strange bondage interrogation plays. Can you... untie the ropes on me first?"
Su Chen felt the fluctuation of elemental power on the rope, which should be Ye Lan's "Entangling Life Rope".
I don’t know why Ye Lan suddenly tied him up and brought him to her interrogation room.
However... Su Chen thought it was quite fun, so he did not try to break free from Ye Lan's restraints.
