He won! He actually won again!

Watching as Ye Lingchen repeatedly win, Huang Xiaomeng's eyes were green with jealousy. Leopard and the rest were even getting a boner from that sensation.

They felt their faces burning.

That was RMB4,800,000!

They were just the average rich kids with some tens of millions of assets at home. It was impossible for them to make RMB4,800,000 in such a short time. What was originally a loser in their eyes had just transformed himself into a rich man in merely three rounds of dogfighting.

'How can a loser like this be considered an equal among us rich kids?'

Was that something they could tolerate?

Of course not!

Immediately they were putting on a celebratory mood for Ye Lingchen while trying to persuade him to continue gambling away.

Ye Lingchen acted the role of the 'naive' person and continued to place his bets, going all-in at every attempt!

What followed was—

Fourth round, RMB4,800,000 turned into RMB9,600,000.

Fifth round, RMB9,600,000 turned into RMB19,200,000.

Sixth round, RMB19,200,000 turned into RMB38,400,000.

The Dog Fighting Arena would only run six matches every time. That was the end of that day's matches.

In all the sixth matches, Ye Lingchen convincingly won all of them!

Huang Xiaomeng and the rest were all stunned. They watched helplessly as Ye Lingchen won round after round. The mixture of shock and agony crushed their worldview, pushing them to the brink of a breakdown.

Absolutely terrifying! That luck of his was like a cheat.

Their gaze on Ye Lingchen had changed.

'What a monster!'

'This guy...he's not an average loser.'

"Ye Lingchen, are you sure you knew nothing about dogfighting?" Huang Xiaomeng asked with a dazed look on her face, her mouth wide agape.

Her intuition suddenly nagged at her that Ye Lingchen was playing her all along, humiliating her intelligence.

"It's my first time."

"Then how did you win?"

"It's because of your insider tips, isn't it?"

Huang Xiaomeng was speechless.

That was RMB38,400,000!

Ye Lingchen was no longer just a gigolo, but a stinking rich gigolo!

She suddenly regretted bringing Ye Lingchen to the Dog Fighting Arena. He had reaped such a profit whereas Huang Xiaomeng and her gang lost everything. It was as though God was playing a joke on them.

Ye Lingchen's commotions had naturally attracted the attention of some other people.

Six consecutive wins, and each of them all in. That type of play was unimaginable. If not for them witnessing it, they would have never believed it.

Reckless!

Lucky!

That must be the favored child of the heavens!

From RMB600,000, it snowballed into RMB38,400,000. He was destined to be the legend of the Dog Fighting Arena.

The organizer quietly took note of Ye Lingchen's appearance. The next time this person came over, they must place him under close scrutiny. If that went on, they would eventually be cleared out.

"Thank you all for helping me gain a small profit," Ye Lingchen thanked Huang Xiaomeng and the gang with a charming smile on his face.

It resulted in an awkward silence.

Their hearts were battered and hurt. They were afraid they would cry out the moment they opened their mouths.

After exiting the Dog Fighting Arena, they drove back towards Capital City from Mount Fulong.

By then it was already 9pm with the darkness setting in. In that desolate mountain region, the car's headlight provided the only light source. Even the chirping of birds and crickets were rare.

Vroom!

Right at that moment, a black Hummer caught up to them from behind. Its engines were roaring, rushing straight at them!

"We're being targeted!"

Huang Xiaomeng's face turned dark. "It must be Ye Lingchen winning too much and that caught someone's attention!"

Just as she prepared to slam the gas, two Jeeps rushed out from the side of the road and drove towards them!

Finally, with three cars blocking their path, they were forced to stop!

Apart from the Ye Lingchen trio, Leopard and the rest were similarly pulled over!

They felt wronged. Not only did they lose their money, now they had to deal with that kid's mess? Who did they piss off this time?

Following that, seven thugs with golf clubs got off the cars. They all had buzz cuts and their faces were broad, giving them fearsome appearances.

Clank, clank, clank!

A thug knocked on the car with his golf club, then demanded, "Get out of the car! Do you want me to drag you down myself?!"

They got out of the car one by one.

Leopard had a bitter expression. He was bent over and on the verge of tears. "Brother, Big Brother! It's none of my business. I'm just coincidentally going with them. I've lost all my money today."

"Lost it all? You think I'm stupid?"

The thug sneered. "You're all together. Cough up all your winnings now!"

Everyone instantly shifted their gaze onto Ye Lingchen.

The thug's knife-like gaze locked onto Ye Lingchen, threatening him, "Kid, didn't you hear me? Cough up your money!"

"Apart from his money, bring the rest back. They're all from wealthy families. We can ask for a ransom of RMB5,000,000 each. If we don't get the money by tomorrow, let them collect their corpses!" A hoarse voice drifted out slowly from the Hummer.

Following that, a middle-aged man wearing shades walked out with a walking stick. Accompanying him was a skinny man. His face looked sharp as a blade. Although he was skinny, he gave off the feeling of a sharp blade cutting across the air.

Ye Lingchen could not help but checked more closely.

He was a decent expert.

"Bro-Brother Dragon1?"

Leopard stared at the man in shades. His voice started trembling as his expression turned into one of fear, "Brother Dragon, is this some sort of a misunderstanding?"

When the others heard Brother Dragon, their faces turned dark as well with a hint of despair reflected in their eyes.

Brother Dragon was a businessman on the surface. However, his methods were cruel and he had countless hitmen working for him. The real businesses he carried out were illegal. He would do anything for money. One could describe him as someone who cared nothing about his own life.

"Hehe, there's no misunderstanding!" Brother Dragon laughed out loud. "Recently the police are too active. I'm planning to leave the country tomorrow to hide it out. I'd advise you to quickly contact your family members. If I don't get RMB5,000,000 tomorrow, you're dead!"

Everyone's heart sank. Brother Dragon was trying to hit one final score before his escape!

They had just delivered themselves straight to him! That was just unfortunate!

"Don't even try to bargain with me and follow my orders! If my men were to act, your bodies will not be in one piece!" Brother Long was a charismatic person and quick to take action. He immediately looked to Ye Lingchen and calmly proclaimed, "Give me all your money. I just want your money. I'll guarantee your safety with that!"

Brother Long's life was filled with troubles recently as well. The businesses he ran were all illegal, walking on a fine line all the while. His main source of illegal income was from human trafficking!

At first, he had an organization that trafficked children. However, over a month ago, two of his traffickers were arrested by the police!

Due to the huge number of human trafficking cases, it was immediately put on high priority by the police. They followed the trail and laid out traps trying to nab all the traffickers.

He had to resort to escaping as he ran out of options.

龍哥 (Brother Dragon) - 龍 can be either the last name or dragon. In this case, where the character is someone working in the underworld, we believe that it's more appropriate to address him as Brother Dragon in the translation.
