Chapter 2: A High-Stakes Gamble

You better think about how to raise money for me first

With Heitinga being sent off with a red card, the Netherlands team was reduced to ten men, making their disadvantage even more apparent

"It really is for money!" Yang Huan murmured to himself, as if he saw some shadows of his past life in Zhang Ning.

But at that moment, a wave of overwhelming boos erupted from the television screen

Two to three hundred million, although it does not reach the level of serious injury, if one truly loses, it is not just ordinary pain, but excruciating agony

Finally, the time has jumped to one hundred and fifteen minutes

Come on, let's take a gamble

No wonder everyone wishes to be wealthy; a life of affluence is simply enjoyable and exhilarating

She is very afraid, afraid that Yang Huan will lose and sell herself to Liu Mingwei

Yang Huan could not discern Liu Mingwei's intentions, shook his head, and coldly remarked: "Liu Mingwei is indeed petty; does he really think that after losing over 10 million, I would have to flee?"

I have already graduated. Zhang Ning feels that graduation signifies her severing ties with Longhai University

Thus, Yang Huan would ask, "I dare to bet, do you dare to accept?"

Yang Huan smiled and did not expose it; he had no interest in this matter

As soon as Liu Mingwei sat down, Zhang Ning gently shifted her ample hips, moving a little closer to Yang Huan

Silently cursing in my heart, yet I dared not linger any longer

Our Boss Liu did not mean it this way

Just now, Yang Huan placed a bet of five million on Spain winning the match within ninety minutes, which was also a private wager

This suddenly made Liu Mingwei feel a sense of panic, one person less?

Even though there is bitterness in her heart, her voice remains soft and gentle.

"I don't care what he means; in any case, I don't like seeing you. You either go back or stand outside the door." Being closely followed and monitored by someone is an unpleasant feeling for anyone

Zhang Ning also felt his gaze constantly scanning her body, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable, yet she did not dare to show any resistance, for she had already sold her first night. It was not just a matter of being looked at; even if he were to take action, she could only submit to it.

Moreover, he is well aware that losing over 10 million, upon returning home, at most he would just face scolding, but it is not a big deal.

Knowing the outcome is one thing, but no one can guarantee whether it will change

She has resigned herself to her fate

"Red card, red card!" Liu Mingwei felt a chill on his forehead, reached out to wipe it, but found it covered in cold sweat

When Liu Mingwei turned around, he was astonished to see the English referee Webb raising a red card high towards the Dutch defender Heitinga, sending him off the field with a red card

one hundred eleven minutes

"Why are you here?" Yang Huan instead asked with a smile

Yang Huan smiled and said, "I am also concerned about you. Tell me, why are you here?"

Or rather, the matter of having crossed over to China did not, at the very least, affect the distant World Cup final in South Africa

Not many, but not too few either

They were almost counting the seconds, watching the numbers representing time change mechanically on the television screen.

one hundred twelve minutes

Even now, Yang Huan cannot help but feel his heart racing, yet he still wants to give it a try, to see whether the memories of his past life, when placed in this life, are still accurate.

Weren't you just trying to embarrass me? Weren't you mocking me?

Zhang Ning has a good impression of Yang Huan, but she is unwilling to let Yang Huan know too much about her

Then we have a deal!

Liu Mingwei's attention has always been focused on Zhang Ning. He was even thinking that if he won later, he would have Yang Huan use her to settle the debt. This girl seems quite obedient; after playing for a night and taking a few photos, how could she possibly escape from his grasp in the future

one hundred fourteen minutes

This is absolutely an astronomical figure for her

I have heard that Boss Liu has always had a penchant for high-stakes gambling. Should I take this deal or not? Yang Huan stared intently at Liu Mingwei, pressing him further.

I am worried about you, why are you instead..." Zhang Ning became somewhat anxious

The Dutch head coach Van Marwijk substituted veteran Van Bronckhorst with defender Braafheid, while the Spanish head coach Del Bosque replaced David Villa with Fernando Torres, both of which can be considered positional substitutions

Zhang Ning, however, believed that he was being sarcastic and mocking her. A wave of bitterness surged within her, her eyes slightly reddened, and her delicate nose twitched slightly. "For you rich second-generation individuals who do not even regard hundreds of thousands or millions, how can you possibly understand the difficulties faced by us impoverished people?"

He not only determined the timing of the goal, but also the only goal of the match, as well as the assister and the scorer. Even more absurdly, he specified that this shot must be taken by Iniesta with his right foot, which is truly outrageous

Yang Huan looked directly at the young girl in front of him for the first time. She was very young, probably not yet graduated from university, but she was beautiful and captivating. Even having seen countless female celebrities, none could compare to her.

What she feared more was that if Yang Huan lost the bet and sent her away, her fate could be even more tragic

As the match time gradually elapsed, drawing closer to the one hundred and fifteen minutes mentioned by Yang Huan, everyone present could not help but focus their attention on the field, and even Yang Huan did not dare to be careless

In his memory, for the current Yang Huan, more than ten million is equivalent to more than ten thousand from his previous life

A nearly flawless and exquisite face, combined with a refined and extraordinary demeanor, such a person should not appear in a place like this, yet she has unexpectedly shown up.

Those who are bookmakers are essentially gamblers. In the words of Liu Mingwei, it is impossible for him to have achieved his current status solely through commission earnings; only by betting against high rollers can one become wealthy overnight

Perhaps her only flaw is that she is not in control of her own body

I apologize, Young Master Huan. Boss Liu sent me here to await your orders. May I inquire if you have any needs?

Since Young Master Huan has put forth such conditions, I might as well raise the odds a bit higher. If that person named Yita can indeed receive a pass from Fasi during the one hundred fifteenth and one hundred sixteenth minutes and score the winning goal with his right foot, I will pay twenty to one!

There are still about ten minutes until the competition, could it be that...

Furthermore, if even such outrageous events as time travel and reincarnation can occur, what else is impossible

At that moment, someone knocked on the box door again, and a burly man in a suit entered.

Zhang Ning gasped, feeling an overwhelming shock

It is not surprising to bet on who will score a goal; there are even more outrageous betting scenarios. However, someone like Yang Huan, who sets so many conditions, is truly one of a kind. This indicates that the odds must be exceedingly high.

What made him most proud was that not long ago, he placed a bet against a well-known billionaire from Longhai City on the match between Argentina and Germany. That extravagant wager earned him fifty million overnight, marking his greatest victory in this World Cup.

Zhang Ning raised her head, gazing at him with a look full of resentment, her heart filled with grievance, yet she said little more.

Liu Mingwei was momentarily startled by Yang Huan's actions, becoming speechless

The two individuals established a written agreement, sent Liu Mingwei away, and Yang Huan sat down again just as the competition was about to begin

"It's alright, come watch the game with me, it couldn't be better. Just in time for us to settle the accounts after the match," Yang Huan said with a faint smile, but she reached out her hand and gently grasped Zhang Ning's left hand, placing it on her own thigh.

He began to feel a bit worried

"Young Master Huan, are you joking?" Liu Mingwei forced a smile.

Zhang Ning undoubtedly belongs to the latter category

Yang Huan stood up and pushed the phone towards Liu Mingwei, saying, "I am not joking. As long as you win, this more than ten million will be yours"

However, both head coaches made the final substitution adjustment

Yang Huan placed a bet of over ten million; if the odds are twenty to one, that would amount to two to three hundred million

It is similar to before the World Cup, when betting on which team will win the championship usually has very high odds

Liu Mingwei did not hesitate and nodded immediately, "Alright, it's a deal. Remember my account, and make sure to transfer it to me after the competition!"

Do you think I will definitely lose? Yang Huan looked at her face with great interest. Some women are stunning at first glance, but the more you look, the less appealing they become; while some women are breathtaking at first glance, and the more you look, the more beautiful they appear.

On the contrary, he is quite interested in Zhang Ning as a person

Zhang Ning was also astonished by this gamble, standing up at that moment, revealing a pair of long legs that were about one meter in length. Her figure was perfectly proportioned, with a prominent front and a curvaceous back, resembling the most perfect masterpiece of the Creator

Imagine, just a few hours ago, he was a poor loser who could only indulge in fantasies about the beautiful women on his computer screen, having never even had a girlfriend. Yet, just a few hours later, an exquisite beauty is sitting beside him, waiting for his affection, allowing him to be frivolous with her

Once again, there was a knock on the door, and I saw Liu Mingwei push the door open and walk in

At the thought of this, Liu Mingwei's gaze became even more fervent, almost wishing to rush forward immediately and devour this beautiful woman whole.

With more than ten million, he decided to take a gamble, and as a result, he felt completely relaxed.

"For money?" Yang Huan guessed.

"Why not accept it?" Liu Mingwei hesitated for a moment before smiling and agreeing.

I apologize, Young Master Huan, for disturbing you while you are with a beautiful lady, but the bar is bustling with people, and watching the game here is the most comfortable. You don't mind if I sit down, do you?" Although he said this, in reality, he took a seat without any hesitation.

By the way, if I lose, perhaps I should consider selling you to him. Five million may not be guaranteed, but three to four million should not be a problem Yang Huan chuckled, feeling secretly pleased in his heart. So this is what it feels like to tease a stunning beauty; it is simply exhilarating

It is not that more than ten million is insignificant to him; what truly astonished him were the conditions proposed by Yang Huan

"Why do you want to bet against him?" Zhang Ning looked at Yang Huan with concern

The conditions proposed by Yang Huan are not merely stringent; they are simply outrageous

Unless history has changed

The burly man, upon hearing this, felt a surge of anger within him, secretly thinking, you little brat, just keep pretending, continue your act, and when another half an hour passes and you lose the game, if you don't hurry up and pay, I will smash your pretty face with a punch, and then take your woman...

Boss Liu, a red card! Yang Huan can now be one hundred percent certain that history has not changed at all

one hundred thirteen minutes

Fifteen minutes quickly passed, and the referee once again blew the whistle to signal the end of the first half of extra time, with the score still at zero to zero

Therefore, you had better pray to the gods, for I will win

Generally speaking, the more stringent the conditions, the higher the odds will be

As it was indeed the first time in his life that he was engaging in a high-stakes gamble, Yang Huan could not help but feel a bit nervous

Zhang Ning felt even more anxious as he saw that person leave. "I heard them say that the one with the surname Liu is not a good person. If you lose money later, it is best not to get into a conflict with him, otherwise..."

He could clearly feel this hand trembling, as if it wanted to retract but dared not to, which made him feel quite exhilarated

In Liu Mingwei's view, Yang Huan's current actions resemble those of a gambler blinded by greed, desperately trying to recover losses; however, in such situations, the likelihood of recovery is usually negligible

"Very well, Young Master Huan, please continue to sit. If you need anything, just call out, and I will be waiting outside the door." After saying this, he went out.

He even forgot to pay attention to how Yang Huan, who used to frequently mispronounce the name of the national team, could so effortlessly say the names of Iniesta and Fabregas

I have heard that you are an outstanding student at the Business School of Longhai University, is that true

In her view, after tonight's conclusion, she would have received the money, Yang Huan would have obtained what he desired, and everyone would be even, ideally never to meet again in the future

Yang Huan has little impression of the match process in the South Africa World Cup final. The only moment that left a deep impression on him was Iniesta's decisive goal at a critical moment. The Spanish star is a player he greatly admires, so he remembers it vividly and cannot be mistaken.
