Chapter 187: Cheating at Cards
"Thud...!!" With the final note of Lin Shuang's performance, the piano piece at last came to an end!
The entire piano piece had finally concluded!
Once the piece was over, every string on the piano in front of Lin Shuang had snapped, and black smoke was billowing out from the piano's innards.
The several hundred patrons within the entire bar... all had shocked expressions on their faces at this moment?! Each of them was drenched in a cold sweat!
And in a corner booth of the bar, those dozen or so assassins who had been preparing to kidnap Su Zhiyan... also had faces filled with shock and fear!
These dozen... were all top-notch assassins. They had been commanded by a mysterious family to come and kidnap Su Zhiyan.
But at this moment, after hearing Lin Shuang's piano playing, all the assassins had been petrified!
This piano performer... was absolutely a super master!
Only someone who had survived countless slaughters could play such a terrifying piano piece! The endless murderous intent contained within the music made the souls of these assassins tremble!
Moreover, his playing speed was incredibly fast, even able to create afterimages, showing just how swift his hands were?! He was definitely a top-notch expert!
This man's strength was far above that of their group of assassins.
The dozen assassins exchanged glances, each seeing the shock and fear in the others' eyes.
Seeing as this man was so intimately close to Su Zhiyan, the dozen assassins did not dare to make their move anymore...
Sometimes, just the released aura of murderousness could let the enemy know how wide the gap between them was. They immediately stood up and quietly evacuated the bar...
The dozen assassins fled from the bar and then hurriedly called their family head to report in an urgent tone, "Crown Prince Huang! Apologies! The mission is terminated! We discovered an extremely terrifying man by Su Zhiyan's side! His strength is unfathomable, and if we made a move... we may get annihilated! We could only evacuate the scene first!"
...
Meanwhile, several kilometers away, in Shanghai, at the Huang Family estate.
As one of the four major underground families, the Huang Family's Crown Prince Huang Manlou sat on the sofa, listening to his subordinates' report.
"What? There's also a master protecting Su Zhiyan?" Hearing this, Huang Manlou's expression hardened and he pondered for a long while before speaking in a deep voice, "I will send more people. You continue to lie in wait inside the bar, looking for an opportunity to act! Tonight is the best chance, we must secure Su Zhiyan before the Du Family succeeds!"
On the other end of the phone, the group of assassins hesitated for a long time before finally nodding gravely, "Yes! Understood!"
...
Back inside Equator Bar.
After finishing his piece, Lin Shuang stood up and returned to the private room on the second floor.
In the room, all his classmates were already astonished, staring at Lin Shuang with eyes that could hardly believe it.
What kind of freak was this Lin Shuang...?
To be able to play such a devilishly skilled piece on the piano?
Su Zhiyan looked at Lin Shuang, her eyes glowing. This man was just too attractive. That damn masculinity!
Su Zhiyan directly pounced forward and planted a fierce kiss on Lin Shuang's face.
"Lin Shuang, you're too awesome!"
This scene made Chen Linbing, who had just come upstairs, turn even paler.
He had just managed to find an opportunity to show off and put someone in their place... and yet Chen Linbing ended up getting face-slapped again.
He was utterly outshone by Lin Shuang.
This goddamn, it made Chen Linbing feel like he wanted to die.
Chen Linbing returned to the private room and could only drink sullenly.
He was not reconciled.
Chen Linbing found an opportunity and wanted to challenge Lin Shuang to a drinking contest.
He walked up with a bottle of foreign liquor, toasting Lin Shuang.
But after toasting dozens of times, Chen Linbing was so drunk he was nearly throwing up.
Lin Shuang, however, remained unfazed as if nothing had happened, his face and heart uninterrupted.
Chen Linbing was about to collapse.
This damn dog... was there nothing he was weaker at?
Leveraging his drunkenness, Chen Linbing then suggested playing cards.
He refused to be disbelieving; he had to crush Lin Shuang completely!
Lin Shuang was indifferent, so they played cards.
To embarrass Lin Shuang, Chen Linbing even deliberately raised the stakes of the card game.
Losing one hand meant losing one hundred thousand in cash. A direct transfer via Alipay.
After playing a dozen hands, Chen Linbing lost every single time, and within mere minutes... he had already lost millions!
Millions in funds were transferred to Lin Shuang.
Chen Linbing's eyes were bloodshot; he could no longer restrain himself!
With a crash, Chen Linbing smashed a wine bottle and pointed at Lin Shuang, cursing furiously, "You motherfucker cheat!"
Several of Chen Linbing's lackeys also rushed forward, angrily accusing Lin Shuang of cheating.
Lin Shuang just gave them a cool look and said, "What? Can't handle losing money?"
"Dare to cheat in front of me? You're looking for death!" Chen Linbing was uncontrollable with rage, grabbing a glass bottle and lunging at Lin Shuang with it!
The lackeys behind Chen Linbing also surged forward to join in the beating!
"Crack, crack, crack!" A few minutes later, Chen Linbing and his group of lackeys were successively sent flying, crashing to the ground and wailing miserably.
Only Lin Shuang still stood in place, completely unharmed. All the classmates present were dumbfounded.
"This is such a buzzkill, let's go." Lin Shuang stepped forward, took Su Zhiyan's hand, and was about to lead her away.
But just as Lin Shuang was about to leave the second-floor private room, he discovered that the entire room's door... had already been blocked?
"Lin! Do you know whose territory this bar belongs to?!" You dare to cheat in front of me? And you dare hit me?! Do you think you can just walk away?" Not far away, Chen Linbing shakily stood up from the ground, his face utterly vicious at this point!
