The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

"He Dong, you're correct. These two are descendants from prominent families in the Capital City. This one is Murong Yinghao from the Murong Family, and this one is Yang Tian from the Chen Family."

He Jie introduced Yang Tian and Murong Yinghao with a blank expression.

Upon hearing the Murong and Chen Family names, He Dong's face suddenly darkened, and he sarcastically remarked, "I didn't expect that after a few years, you'd connect with the Murong Family and the Chen Family. With their backing, you can walk sideways all over the mainland."

He Jie suddenly chuckled coldly at He Dong's words, "I also don't know if I can walk anywhere with ease. In Australia, I don't even know how long I can survive, especially when some people are out to kill me, colluding with assassin organizations..."

He Dong quickly expressed concern, "Jie, who dares to target you? Just tell me, I'll definitely avenge you!"

He Dong had sent people to kill He Jie but pretended to be ignorant about it. Such a person was clearly a slippery villain. Yang Tian calmly said, "Brother He, we're just here for fun, don't discuss important matters with irrelevant people."

"Let's go in and play."

He Jie understood that now was not the time to act up, so he entered the casino with Yang Tian and the others, arriving at the third-floor gambling hall, the most premium area in the entire casino, often run by the casino itself.

Yang Tian sat down and said, "Let's play big. Brother He, Brother Murong, if you trust me, lend me some money. The winnings will all be yours!"

"Yang, how much do you want to bet?"

Murong Yinghao asked.

"Fifty million!"

Yang Tian opened his left hand, revealing five fingers.

"Fifty million?" Murong Yinghao was startled, and beside him, He Jie was also shocked, "Yang, you're playing this big?"

"Let me ask you, do you trust me?"

Yang Tian asked calmly.

Murong Yinghao and He Jie exchanged a glance. Although Yang Tian was betting heavily, they knew his identity as the sole heir of the Chen Family in the Capital City. Such a young master undoubtedly held significant power and wealth, so they nodded, "Yang, we'll each lend you fifty million. If you lose, no need to repay. If you win, we'll all celebrate!"

"Then get ready for a windfall."

Yang Tian deliberately raised his voice, so everyone around heard him. People coming here were wealthy, but none matched Yang Tian in gambling fifty million upfront, sparking curiosity about his identity. Sitting beside Yang Tian were Murong Yinghao and He Jie, one from the Murong Family and the other the seventh grandson of He the Gambling King, suggesting Yang Tian's identity was unusual.

Murong Yinghao and He Jie took out cards and exchanged them for a hundred million in chips. Seeing Yang Tian exchanged for a hundred million, the female dealer dared not deal but informed He Dong. Shortly, He Dong walked over with a forced smile, glanced at He Jie, "Jie, you're playing too large!"

"Cut the nonsense, deal the cards."

Seeing He Dong, He Jie was filled with murderous intent.

"Young Master..."

The female dealer looked toward He Dong.

"Don't worry, these two are from prominent Capital City families. One is from the Murong Family and the other from the Chen Family. They are young masters. Just deal the cards. Let them enjoy tonight!"

He Dong said with a cunning smile.

With He Dong's approval, the female dealer calmly started dealing cards.

The hottest game here was Five Card Stud. Each player gets two cards, then decides based on the initial cards whether to continue. If continued, they'll eventually receive five cards, competing for the largest hand. If dissatisfied with their hand, players can quit midway. This game is very popular in Australia and Hong Kong.

In the first round, Yang Tian's hidden card was a diamond King, and his visible card was a heart King. He tapped the table and said, "I'm the biggest here, one million!"

Murong Yinghao and He Jie were surprised. After glancing at Yang Tian, they still pushed one million in chips to the center of the table.

The other four players saw Yang Tian raised the stakes this high and turned their cards over, "You guys play, we're out..."

They didn't want to leave quickly but stayed to watch.

The female dealer looked at her hidden card, then glanced at He Dong.

"Just deal the cards, I'll play against Young Master Yang myself..."

He Dong straightforwardly sat down, looked at his hidden card, which was an Ace, and his visible card was a heart ten. He glanced at Yang Tian and He Jie with a laugh, "Since you're playing big, I'll play with you!"

He tapped the table, and Mr. Long beside him cast down one million in chips, "Continue dealing."

In the second round, Yang Tian received a spade King, giving him two visible King cards, along with a hidden diamond King, totaling three Kings. But on the opposite side, He Dong revealed a second visible Ace, along with an Ace as his hidden card, equaling a pair of Aces.

"I'm still the biggest, another million!"

Yang Tian tapped the table, signaling Murong Yinghao and He Jie to continue adding one million.

Even though Murong Yinghao and He Jie were young heirs, they'd never played like Yang Tian, increasing a bet by one million. This was not gambling, but throwing money away. Typically, they'd raise by tens of thousands, with the craziest amount being a few million. Yet, upon looking at Yang Tian, they gritted their teeth and pushed down a million.

He Dong's face turned grave; he held a pair of Aces, larger than Yang Tian's hand, yet uncertain of Yang Tian's hidden card. Seeing VIPs crowding to watch, he tapped the table, "Follow."

Soon, the third round of cards was dealt. He Dong received a heart Ace, bringing him two visible Aces, plus a hidden Ace, making three Aces.

In contrast, Yang Tian's third visible card was a Jack, leaving him with two visible Kings and one Jack, plus the hidden card of three Kings.

"Owner He Dong, now your visible cards show two Aces; you're the biggest. Make your bid, but if it's less than one million, there's no point in continuing."

Yang Tian said arrogantly.

He Dong glanced at Yang Tian's cards, sneering inwardly: I have three Aces now; your visible cards show only two Kings. Even if your hidden card is a King, it can't beat my hand! Since you want to lose all your money, I'll grant you that wish!

Thinking thus, He Dong said, "If you want to play, then two million it is!"

As he spoke, the casino erupted in gasps. Everyone dropped their games to gather around, keen to witness Yang Tian and He Dong's showdown. After this third round, Yang Tian and He Dong had wagered forty million, transforming this from gambling into a life-or-death battle.

"Two million? Excellent!"

Yang Tian wanted exactly this kind of play.

Murong Yinghao and He Jie appeared tense, leaning closer to Yang Tian to peek at his hidden card. Seeing it as a King, their face displayed concern, "Yang, in case He Dong's hidden card is an Ace, we'll suffer a huge loss..."

Yang Tian employed Divine Sense to examine He Dong's hidden card, casually saying, "You're correct, He Dong's hidden card is an Ace."

"Then let's not follow; he has three Aces, and we only have three Kings..."

He Jie said nervously.

"No problem, just trust me."

Yang Tian said confidently.

Murong Yinghao and He Jie exchanged glances; despite Yang Tian's arrogance, out of respect for him, they gritted their teeth, "Fine, let's just give Yang a good time tonight!"

With that, Murong Yinghao and He Jie added two million in chips.

The surrounding men and women were baffled by Yang Tian and He Dong's grand spending, speculating about their hidden cards: "Yang's visible cards show two Kings; he's so confident, maybe his hidden card is a King. Given He Dong's boldness, his hidden card is likely an Ace, meaning he has three Aces. But the truth will only be revealed in the end!"

Soon, the final card was dealt.

Yang Tian received a club King, forming a quartet of Kings, while He Dong received a club Ace, yielding three visible Aces. He Dong exclaimed, "He Jie, how foolish can you be? Letting a madman squander your money? Haha! I won with four Aces; at best, you have four Kings!"

Saying this, He Dong revealed his hidden card.

He Jie and Murong Yinghao's faces changed; Yang Tian only had four Kings, which meant He Dong had won. But soon, they froze because He Dong's hidden card was not an Ace but a diamond two.

Suddenly, He Jie and Murong Yinghao gasped, then exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, He Dong, you've lost! You only have three Aces while we hold four Kings!"

Saying this, He Jie turned over Yang Tian's hidden card, revealing indeed four Kings.

He Dong looked at Yang Tian's cards, then at his own, his face shifted, "What is happening? How did my hidden card become a diamond two?"
