The Strongest Urban Son-in-law-Chapter 25 - 23 Winning and Losing

The atmosphere within the entire VIP room became extremely tense.

Soon, both Ye Feng and Sun Zhong had each made eleven moves.

After the twelfth move ended, Ye Feng successfully passed and once again picked up his glass of water, taking a sip.

"Amazing!" Zheng Yonggang couldn’t help but exclaim.

Even Lin Shiyu couldn’t hide her shocked expression. At this point, the tissue on the cup had been burned down to a long strip, resembling a rope connecting the two ends of the cup.

And there, like a rope, in the center of the tissue, sat a die, ready to fall at any moment.

"We’ve won!" Lin Shiyu looked on excitedly at this scene. Now, the entire tissue had just a tiny bit left, no matter how much it burned, no matter how small a part was charred, the tissue would definitely break, causing the die to drop into the cup.

"Amazing! Amazing! To think a tissue could be burned with a lighter to look like this!" Zheng Yonggang was thrilled.

Zheng Yonggang understood that if it were him, he would have probably lost to Sun Zhong already.

"How can this be!" Sun Zhong pretended to be "troubled," his entire persona as though stuck in a mire.

Everyone thought Ye Feng was certain to win. At this point, Sun Zhong simply had no way to proceed. Once he lit the tissue, he would surely lose!

Sun Zhong’s hands trembled as he lit the tissue with a lighter.

Lin Shiyu and Zheng Yonggang were utterly relaxed, confident that Sun Zhong would definitely lose, as there was no way left to burn the tissue.

"Click~~" Sun Zhong lit the tissue and immediately closed the lighter.

"How is this possible!" Lin Shiyu and Zheng Yonggang screamed in shock.

Sun Zhong had lit the tissue without causing the die to fall into the cup—he had succeeded again.

"Impossible! This is unscientific! No matter what, once the flame touches the tissue, it must break, and the die must fall, but the tissue is still intact—this cannot be!" Zheng Yonggang couldn’t believe what he saw.

It was now Ye Feng’s turn, but the die was definitely going to fall into the cup. No one expected that the one who would lose was Ye Feng!

"It’s over! It’s all gone... sixty billion..." Lin Shiyu thought to herself despairingly, her expression hopeless.

Liu Guixiang, on the other hand, was ecstatic. If Ye Feng lost, then she could pocket a full eighteen billion!

Sun Zhong and Zhang Xin exchanged a knowing smile, feeling very pleased with themselves.

In fact, Sun Zhong’s lighter had been tampered with. The flame that had touched the tissue wasn’t real; it was a fake flame with no heat at all.

So no matter how long Sun Zhong burned it, the tissue wouldn’t be harmed in the slightest.

Of course, only someone like Sun Zhong would resort to such a method.

Although Sun Zhong’s lighter could switch between a real flame and a fake one, the earlier burns were all done with legitimate skill. How could an ordinary person burn a tissue down to a threadlike strip?

"We’ve won!" Zhang Xin was overwhelmed with excitement, already envisioning a glorious future.

Zhang Xin was one hundred percent certain, with these six billion, he would definitely become the Family Head of the Zhang Family!

"Ye Feng, I told you not to be so impulsive. Now that you’ve lost, how are you going to explain this to my grandfather!" Lin Shiyu was incredibly angry as she questioned Ye Feng.

"What’s the hurry, have I lost?" Ye Feng, with a look of disdain, remained utterly calm as if nothing happened, casually picking up the glass of water and taking a sip.

The look in Zhang Xin’s eyes revealed confidence, "Mr. Ye, you might as well stop trying to be tough. We’ve already come this far, and no matter what you do, it’s impossible for you to succeed. The dice will definitely fall into the cup!"

Although the people around didn’t speak, they all showed looks of agreement.

"How would you know without me trying?" Ye Feng chuckled lightly, and then picked up the lighter in his hand.

Everyone held their breath; it was too thrilling. If he failed, that would mean the loss of a full six billion.

But Ye Feng still remained calm, showing not the slightest bit of panic, acting as if he had no chance of losing. However, to everyone else, it seemed like Ye Feng was just putting on a brave front.

"Click~~" At that moment, Ye Feng quickly pressed down on the lighter.

The flame appeared on top of the tissue paper for an instant before Ye Feng quickly put it out.

Yet, the tissue paper wasn’t damaged at all, and the dice were still perched on top of it.

"How is this possible!" Upon witnessing this scene, Sun Zhong’s and Zhang Xin’s composure instantly vanished, no longer possessing the calm and collected demeanor from before.

"This..." Even Lin Shiyu was stunned. Ye Feng’s composure wasn’t an act!

"How can this be!" Everyone was struggling to accept what they saw; it was completely inconceivable.

"I clearly saw the flame touch the tissue paper. Such a thin piece of paper would definitely have ignited. This is impossible!" Sun Zhong couldn’t help but bellow out.

"How is it impossible? I have succeeded, and the proof is right before your eyes..." Ye Feng’s eyes carried a relaxed light.

"It just can’t be possible! Unless you’re cheating, there’s no way the paper wouldn’t ignite!" Zhang Xin shouted.

"Oh?" Ye Feng chuckled, "Cheating, you say? Do you have any evidence to prove I cheated?"

"This..." Zhang Xin closed his mouth, not knowing how to respond. The lighter was prepared by them, and they absolutely couldn’t imagine how Ye Feng could possibly have cheated.

"Speaking of cheating, it seems that you are the ones who have cheated!" Ye Feng’s tone changed sharply, and his stare fixated on them, his gaze piercing like a sword of millennium-old ice straight to the heart.

Sensing Ye Feng’s gaze, Sun Zhong and Zhang Xin immediately became nervous.

"How could that be? Why would we ever cheat? This is our casino. To cheat here would be to destroy our own reputation, wouldn’t it?" Zhang Xin vehemently denied.

Ye Feng let out a cold chuckle, "I’m not betting with you, I’m betting with Sun Zhong. He has said nothing, why are you so nervous?"

After hearing what Ye Feng said, everyone started to grow suspicious indeed. It was very doubtful. Even if not considering Ye Feng, when it was Sun Zhong’s turn, everyone thought Sun Zhong was sure to lose, but Sun Zhong did not lose, and that certainly warranted suspicion.

Zheng Yonggang stepped forward, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Sun Zhong, I would like to inspect your lighters now, if that’s alright?"

Sun Zhong tried to maintain his composure, "Of course, there’s no problem."

"No problem!" Ye Feng nodded.
