Chapter 958: Chapter 958: So It Was All Her Doing (8)
Undoubtedly, Gu Nuan’s words once again overturned the castle residents’ impression of her.
Anthony burst into laughter again, but after receiving a glare from the casino owner’s grandmother, he reluctantly covered his mouth and whispered, "Great-grandmother, why don’t you gamble with her?"
Melissa thought to herself, and the young man happened to voice her thoughts.
"Are you trying to flatter me on purpose, hoping I’ll let you go? I can’t be sure. However, your words did pique my interest. Let’s do as you suggest and have a gamble. If you win, I’ll let you and your people go unconditionally. If I win, you’ll all have to obey me. How does that sound? Fair?"
Gu Nuan nodded.
The man who acted as the casino owner in the bridge room last night came out, drew three cards, and placed them on the table between Gu Nuan and the casino owner’s grandmother.
Gu Nuan picked one card, the casino owner’s grandmother picked another, and the remaining card was left for the casino owner.
The usual rules applied—let’s see who wins in the end.
Gu Nuan proposed, "Why don’t you gamble big this time while I gamble small?"
Melissa looked into her sharp eyes, catching a fleeting sparkle, as if to say, "Sure, I’ll let you have this one."
Three cards were turned over simultaneously. People like Tang Shaohong, who were certain the cards would reveal numbers, held their breath, wondering why the cards were flipped so quickly, catching everyone unprepared.
As a result, upon revealing the cards, they showed exchange rates of three different currencies.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Only a few of those involved understood, their faces showing no expression.
Gu Nuan checked her watch, while the casino owner’s grandmother took out her pocket watch, revealing the cover and waiting for the final exchange rates within twenty hours.
Meanwhile, at the hotel where Zhang Sanfeng and his group were staying, Wei Changqing burst in, incredulously questioning, "You let her go live at someone’s house alone?"
"To be precise, it’s her friend’s house; she didn’t go alone," Zhan Dapeng said.
Wei Changqing was even more astonished, "Isn’t that the same thing? Do you know where she went? Are you aware?"
"I don’t," Zhan Dapeng admitted.
Zhang Sanfeng turned his face from the window and said, "She sensed it, and the other party insisted she come."
"Did she know it was a trap and still went?" Wei Changqing crossed his arms, realizing that Gu Nuan had corrupted his brothers, who no longer followed conventional rules.
"Let me ask you," Wei Changqing focused on the crucial point, "if something happens to her, what do you plan to do?"
"It shouldn’t," Zhang Sanfeng shook his head.
"Why not?"
"My intuition tells me so," Zhang Sanfeng pointed to his head.
Wei Changqing suddenly showed disdain and said, "If your sixth sense is so accurate, when Lao Wu went, you said nothing would happen, but then what happened?"
Zhang Sanfeng’s face turned pale.
Wei Changqing turned away, unwilling to even look at him anymore.
The sky was turning a pale white on the horizon.
When Gu Nuan and the others left the castle by car, Zhuang Haoxiong stood beside the casino owner’s grandmother, puzzled: "Grandmother, letting them go is one thing, but why let that man go too—"
Melissa glanced at him and said, "You all know what kind of person she is. Yes, I dislike people like her the most, yet I have to admit that if the world had fewer people like her, it would be far less interesting. Since we can’t kill that man, and after a month we still have no way to deal with him, let’s leave it to her."
