I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

The next day.

Wang Haoran was resting in the Cullinan when he received an important message from the Detective Agency about Chu Bai.

Chu Bai went into an underground casino.

“It seems I guessed right.”

When Wang Haoran heard this piece of information, he wasn’t surprised.

Wang Haoran had read many online novels. He knew that the Protagonist with X-Ray Vision would try earning money as soon as possible using one of two methods.

The first was to gamble on stones, and the other was to gamble on money.

Qingling City doesn’t have a stone gambling site. To gamble on stones, one had to go to a place far away.

That was a troublesome process.

Wang Haoran immediately asked the driver to go to the underground casino.

About fifteen minutes later, he arrived at his destination.

As he was fifteen minutes late, Chu Bai had already been gambling for a short while.

But Wang Haoran was not in a hurry.

Chu Bai’s family was very poor, so his capital must be very limited. With such a small amount of money, it would surely take him some time to win 30,000 yuan.

Furthermore, Chu Bai, as the Protagonist, wasn’t extremely smart, but he certainly wasn’t stupid. Even if he could win 30,000 in a short time, he wouldn’t do that as it would catch everyone’s attention.

Wang Haoran went to the counter of the underground casino to exchange.

A young woman who was maturely dressed asked.

“Handsome boy, may I ask how many chips you want to exchange?”

"Half a million."

"Five… Five hundred thousand! Are you sure?"

The young lady froze at once.

This underground casino wasn’t large, so a gambler who exchanged five hundred thousand chips at once would be considered a big customer.

It was her first time watching a gambler exchange half a million at once.

"Swipe the card, password all six."

Wang Haoran didn’t flaunt and immediately handed out his card.

The young lady was willing to try it out and swiped the card.

It was successful.

Did it really work?

The young lady was overjoyed and asked her colleague to take over her job at the counter while she came out and warmly received Wang Haoran.

This was a super customer!

Looking at his clothes, she guessed that he was a rich son here for the first time.

He was a big fat sheep!

“Handsome boy, what do you want to play? I can introduce it to you.” The young lady was intense as fire. Her whole body was leaning towards Wang Haoran as if she had no bones.

But before she could touch him, Wang Haoran took a step back.

His eyes were filled with deep disgust.

The young woman was embarrassed for a moment and re-positioned her body.

“I don’t like the way you play here. I want to gamble my way―five hundred thousand chips on one hand to determine the winner.”

“Handsome boy, we are a small place here. If you play that big, I don’t think any gamblers here will take it.” The young lady froze and said.

“Go ask your boss if he’s interested.”

The young lady immediately went to ask him.

A few minutes later, she returned and invited Wang Haoran into a separate gambling room.

A man with a beard and a long scar on the left side of his face sat at the gambling table. You could tell that he was not to be messed with at first glance.

“Friend, I'll take your bet. What game will we bet on?” The scarred man looked at Wang Haoran with narrowed eyes.

Wang Haoran had someone bring over a new pair of cards.

“Let’s play poker, but each person will only be dealt one card. Whoever has the bigger card will be the winner.”

This gamble, if no one cheated, would be completely reliant on luck.

The scarred man gave Wang Haoran a deep look and hesitated for a while before saying "yes".

After shuffling the cards, Wang Haoran and the scarred man each drew a card.

Wang Haoran was calm and didn’t rush to open his card.

The scarred man, on the other hand, looked calm, but inside he was actually quite nervous.

He had gambled with many people before, but this was the first time someone had played this big.

The scarred man opened his card carefully, and when he saw that it was an ace of hearts, he almost jumped from his seat with joy.

He was going to win unless Wang Haoran’s card was the ace of spades.

But the chances of that were too slim.

“Open your card. I don’t believe it’s the ace of spades!” said the scarred man.

Wang Haoran opened the corner of the card and took a look. His face suddenly became weird.

He didn’t expect his luck to be so good.

Unfortunately, he didn't come to win money.

“It seems my luck was worse, you win.” Wang Haoran didn’t show his card and pretended to be angry as he threw it into the deck.

Having lost half a million at once, Wang Haoran wasn’t heartbroken.

It was pocket money anyway.

He still had 300,000 left in his card.

After he went home, he could call his mom and dad directly. Within a few moments, another million would arrive.

Across the table.

The scarred man was relieved and elated as he got half a million yuan at once.

“Friend, you played so big just now. I thought you were a swindler, coming here to disrupt the game.”

“I’m not a swindler, but I did see someone who is, enter your venue.” When Wang Haoran heard the man say that, he turned the conversation to the main topic.

This was his real purpose.

Losing 500,000 yuan was just to create a pleasant atmosphere.

That way, it would be easy to talk.

“According to the rules of my venue, anyone who dares cheat will have his hand chopped off. If I caught him myself he would not be spared.” The man with the scar said in a murderous voice.

“You have surveillance here, right?”

"Of course. It's a must."

“Then could you lead the way?”

The scarred man took Wang Haoran to the monitoring room.

There were dozens of HD screens in the monitoring room, which observed all the gamblers and gambling tables.

As long as someone was gambling, the monitoring room had someone keeping an eye on them.

That was to prevent people from cheating and causing trouble.

The reputation of the casino was very important, after all.

Having surveillance cameras would certainly lower the number of cheaters..

"That's him."

Wang Haoran noticed Chu Bai's figure on the surveillance screen

He was playing at a table with a small bet.

“Look back at the video. See if there’s something wrong.” The scarred man commanded.

The staff in the surveillance room looked at the video frame by frame, but there was no sign of cheating.

“Friend, this person has no problem.” The scarred man frowned and said.

“This is the technique of a top swindler. It’s so brilliant, that even if you were right beside him and staring at him, you wouldn’t be able to tell, let alone looking through a surveillance screen.” Wang Haoran spoke calmly.

“You can have someone check how much money he had when he came in and how much he has now.” Wang Haoran gave a suggestion.

The man with the scar had someone check it out immediately, and soon, the news arrived.

When Chu Bai came in, he exchanged 1,200 chips and played at five tables, but for small bets. He has played 19 hands so far.

His record was ten wins and nine losses.

That was indeed very normal.

But, he wasn’t that careful and left behind some clues.

He won 16,000 yuan!

He had a mediocre battle record, yet he won so much money.

Obviously, he won big and lost small.

"This kid is too lucky, right?" The man with the scar was amazed.

Gambling luck is a beautiful thing. Some gamblers are sometimes overwhelmed with luck and win very big.

The scarred man had seen this kind of situation before.

“His luck is good, and I assume it will continue until he wins more than 30,000.” Wang Haoran said casually.

"What does that mean?" The man with the scar was puzzled.

“I heard that many swindlers set rules for themselves to avoid risks. I just happen to know one of his rules.” Wang Haoran noticed the scarred man’s brow creasing more and more and knew it was almost time.

Pretending to look at his watch, he continued.

“Last time, I played at a different venue, and I happened to see the swindler. Today, I saw him here, so I mentioned it to you. It has nothing to do with me.

I still have something to do so I'll leave. Next time I’ll come to play.”

After saying that, he ignored the scarred man’s follow-up questions and left the casino.

After Wang Haoran left, the scarred man had someone keep an eye on Chu Bai.

Sure enough, as Wang Haoran said, Chu Bai’s luck was really good, and he kept on winning until he won 35,000 and quit.

Sure enough, he was a swindler!

“Stop that little brat with a white T-shirt and a half-inch haircut at the door!”

The man with the scar gave orders to his little brother over the telephone.
