Her words naturally carried a sense of urgency, making her seem even more like a gambler who had been hooked by interest.
Yao Guangcheng sharply caught the change in Mu Hanyanâs demeanor and sneered inwardly, "The fish has taken the bait. Next, itâs time to let him lose a little. Otherwise, if he keeps winning, he might lose interest. What if he takes a few silver notes and leaves? Then theyâd be at a huge loss."
"Young master, what do you think about this piece?" Yao Guangcheng asked as he took out another raw stone.
This piece, of course, was also prepared in advance. With his experience and eye power, he could almost confirm it was just a useless stone.
"Fine, if you think itâs good, then itâs good," Mu Hanyan responded nonchalantly.
The corner of Yao Guangchengâs mouth curled into a faint smile that was hard to detect. Not far away, hidden in the crowd, Yuan Tianbo also wore a sly grin. According to their plan, from now on, Mu Hanyan would start to experience wins and lossesâfalling deeper into the trap.
"Brother Mu, maybe we should call it quits. Youâve already won a fair amount of money; better to quit while youâre ahead," Ling Baobao tugged at Mu Hanyanâs sleeve and whispered in a very low voice, "I think Iâve seen this person before; heâs not an ordinary helper. They say he might be the steward of the Meteorite Gold Mine. Something seems off here." Even if itâs a setup, the identity of the person acting as the decoy seemed a bit too elevated.
Mu Hanyan felt a slight stir in her heart. She knew the outcomes of both bets had been intentionally manipulated by the other side. It wasnât strange for gambling houses to play such tricks, but for the mineâs steward to come out in person was quite extraordinary. Could it be that someone was planning to trap her, otherwise why would the steward come out in person?
After taking a closer look at Yao Guangcheng, Mu Hanyan didnât recognize him and couldnât guess who might be out to harm her.
"Itâs okay, Iâm just here to try my luck. Currently, Iâm still ahead; if I lose, then so be it." Mu Hanyan originally approached this with a playful attitude and didnât take the Stone Tasting Conference too seriously. Now, she was genuinely curious and nonchalantly handed over the silver note.
"If Iâm not mistaken, this time they ought to make you lose, and then with alternate wins and losses, theyâll lead you deeper and deeper in until you lose everything," Ling Baobao said a bit heatedly, seeing that Mu Hanyan wasnât taking it seriously.
Mu Hanyan glanced at the visibly upset Ling Baobao and smiled slightly. She could clearly hear the worry and care in her words, which made her view Ling Baobao more favorably. Indeed, this fellow had a good heart.
Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun also furrowed their brows. They were not unfamiliar with the tricks of gambling and agreed with Ling Baobaoâs concerns. They were worried Mu Hanyan might fall prey to deception. Though they admired Mu Hanyanâs capability, she was still the same age as them and not necessarily more mature. Being in the thick of things, what if she became confused and got duped?
However, they were used to letting Mu Hanyan take the lead and didnât feel it was their place to persuade her. They silently resolved that if things took a bad turn later, they must find a way to warn her; they couldnât allow her to sink deeper into trouble.
"Ah, Ao Shuangyu, this time itâs Ao Shuangyuâthree times now, sheâs incredibly hit the mark three times in a row!" While Mu Cheng and others were thinking this, exclamations that were shaking with excitement began to spread around them.
"Uh..." Ling Baobao looked puzzled at the piece Yao Guangcheng had, which looked like it was coated in a layer of frosty, crystalline Meteorite Gold. She scratched her headâperhaps she was wrong. The other party wasnât in a rush to act and continued to deepen the pit.
