A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 368 Letting go

Wen Shao smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and said, "Bet? Of course we'll bet. But it's not enough for us to just say it; we need a middleman."

When it comes to middlemen, the owner of this entertainment center naturally takes the lead. Regardless of who wins or loses, he's a guaranteed winner. After the bet between Wen Shao and Chao Bufan last time, he made a small fortune—a windfall for the entertainment center owner. This time, the stakes exceed one hundred million, and he immediately beams, stepping out from the crowd with a smile, saying, "Wen Shao, President Tang, then let me be your middleman!"

Seeing that Wen Shao and Tang Qianqian had no objections, he secretly chuckled and quickly took out a bank card, saying, "Then you should deposit all your bets into this card. I will keep this card for now, and after the bet is over, I will give it to the winner. However, I will have to take a percentage... a one million yuan handling fee. Do you two have any objections?"

The boss originally wanted to ask for a percentage commission, but then he thought that if he asked for too much, neither party might be willing to pay. One million would be no problem for these two wealthy people.

Wen Shao was the first to speak: "I have no objection."

Tang Qianqian smiled faintly and said, "If you have no objections, then I have even less objection."

The boss chuckled and said, "Since he has no objections, then transfer the money to this card!"

After the transfer was completed, it was clear that the deal for 80 million per game was finalized. Everyone immediately stepped back to make room, and even the surrounding pool tables were filled with onlookers.

The owner initially wanted to call them down so they wouldn't break his pool tables, but then he thought better of it. The gambling was already beyond his imagination; a few pool tables were nothing to worry about.

With a beaming smile, Wen Shao brushed his hand against his collar and said, "Miss Tang, would you like to go first or should I?"

Zhang Xiuli nudged Tang Qianqian and said, "Qian, let me do it!"

Tang Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I can do it myself."

Li Wei seemed a little worried and hesitated to speak, but Tang Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't worry! I can do it."

As she spoke, she picked up the cue stick on the table and said, "Young Master Wen, you go first! So you won't say that I, a newbie, am bullying you."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shao was overjoyed. He casually slung the cue stick over his shoulder and said, "Shall I go first? Miss Tang, have you thought this through? Maybe this shot of mine could wipe out the entire table."

Tang Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. If you can clear the board in one go, then we'll have to accept it. You can decide everything then."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shao chuckled and said, "Miss Tang, you said it yourself! You can't go back on your word."

Tang Qianqian glanced at the surrounding crowd and said, "There are at least eighty or a hundred people here! With so many witnesses, are you afraid we'll run away?"

Wen Shao smiled and said, "That's true."

Li Wei asked, "Young Master Wen, what if you lose? What will you do then?"

Wen Shao was confident he could win and laughed, "If I lose, it's still up to you guys."

Zhang Xiuli said, "Have you thought this through? If you lose, not only will you not get the money, but you'll also have to strip naked in public and stand here and do a striptease!"

Wen Shao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be that chance."

Tang Qianqian said, "That's not necessarily true. You said the same thing last time, and you still lost."

When Tang Qianqian suddenly reopened his wounds, Wen Shao felt his face burning with embarrassment, as if it had been ironed. He sneered and said, "He was lucky last time. I was sure to win."

Tang Qianqian continued, "But in the end, you still lost."

Wen Shao didn't want to bring up the matter again. After all, as the billiards prince of this area, not only did he lose to a novice, but he also lost ten million. That time, he really lost face.

"Enough talk, let's get started."

As he spoke, Wen Shao went to tee off. He first placed his left palm down on the pool table, with his five fingers together and his thumb perpendicular to the other four fingers, slightly pointing upwards. Then he rested the cue on his thumb, turned his head to Tang Qianqian and said, "Beautiful Tang, it's not too late to regret it now. Otherwise, if I take this shot, the game will start."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian appeared indifferent and said calmly, "Let's start!"

"Okay." Wen Shao smiled, then raised the corner of his mouth, and with a "snap" sound, the game started.

Sure enough, this husky's ball skills were really good. He potted three balls in one shot. It seemed that Tang Qianqian didn't even have a chance to make a move. Amid the cheers and applause of the crowd, the last black eight was about to fall into the pocket in a straight line, but it rolled to the edge of the hole and stopped.

"They still didn't score? Oh well! What a pity."

Seeing that the black ball hadn't gone in, some people started to murmur, feeling it was a pity. Wen Shao couldn't help but sigh when he saw the ball miss, it was such a pity. However, he was still full of confidence in himself. He didn't believe that Tang Qianqian, this novice, could clear the table in one shot.

"Miss Tang, it's your turn," Wen Shao said to Tang Qianqian with a smile.

Tang Qianqian walked to the side of the white ball and smiled slightly, "Hey Wen Shao, are you going easy on me or is your ball skill just not that great?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shao said, "Since you are such a beautiful woman, of course I'll go easy on you. Otherwise, it would be too boring to win against you so easily."

Tang Qianqian didn't say much, simply placing the cue stick on the edge of the table and saying, "Young Master Wen, you'd better open your eyes wide and see clearly whether I'm the newbie or you are."

After saying that, Tang Qianqian casually struck the cue ball, and the cue ball rolled out in an "S" shape. However, this casual shot almost cleared the game. The white cue ball stopped on the edge of the cue ball, making people wonder if a slight blow to the cue ball would have pocketed the black ball and won the game. Of course, this shot was still Tang Qianqian's.

而当温少看到白色的母球竟然走着不寻常的路线，分别将“1、2、3、4、5、6、7”号球击入袋中时，一副活见鬼的样子大呼：“怎么可能？怎么可能？”

Tang Qianqian lightly touched the cue ball without any hesitation, and the black eight ball fell into the pocket.

"Young Master Wen, we won!" Li Wei said with a smile.

Before Wen Shao and Qin Shao could react, the boss walked over, placed the card in Tang Qianqian's hand, and said with a smile, "President Tang, congratulations on winning, this is yours."
