A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 117 Own Goal

However, just as the black eight ball rolled to the edge of the hole, almost falling into the pocket, it stopped. Chao Bufan quickly grabbed the edge of the table and shouted, "Hey, come on, go in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Eight rolled into the bag with a "whoosh".

Chao Bufan immediately threw down his cue stick, raised his hands, and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, it's in! It's all in!"

"Huh? This works?"

Everyone went from mocking them to being surprised, then shocked, and finally fainted.

"Hahaha... I won, I won."

Chao Bufan burst into laughter. Huang Mengting and the others, who were extremely nervous, were stunned when they saw the table cleared in one shot. When the black eight ball fell into the pocket, they immediately hugged each other and screamed, "We won! We won! We won!"

Wen Shao and Qin Shao stared at the pool table in astonishment. They exchanged a glance, and Qin Shao cursed, "Damn, what kind of luck is this? How can this even work?"

Wen Shao's eyes twitched suddenly. He came to his senses, gave a cold smile, and said, "Extraordinary, not bad luck!"

Chao Bufan laughed heartily, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "You flatter me!"

Mr. Liu walked over with the check, smiling, and said, "Young Master Wen, did you see that? He beat you with an own goal. That's real luck. This check was originally yours, but now it belongs to him."

Chao Bufan didn't stand on ceremony. He took the check, held one corner with his left hand, flicked it with his right, and said smugly, "No wonder I stepped in dog poop this morning. Turns out I had some good luck. Honey, this check is yours now."

Tang Qianqian smiled slightly and asked softly, "Bufan, are you really going to give me this check?"

"Of course, take it, spend it as you please, have fun as you please."

Tang Qianqian snatched the check as if she had seen money, overjoyed: "Then I won't be polite."

Chao Bufan smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, let's go!"

Seeing that Chao Bufan was about to leave after winning money, Wen Shao quickly blocked his way, gave a cold smile, and said, "What? You think you can just take the money and leave?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan said with a disdainful look, "I didn't steal, rob, or cheat, so why would I stay here?"

At this moment, Wen Shao was filled with regret. His long face was clearly ugly. He sneered and said, "Do you think this money is so easy to take?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Ha, I want to bet with you again."

"What if I don't gamble?"

"Not gambling? That's not up to you, unless you give me back that money."

Tang Qianqian frowned and said in a cold voice, "A bet is a bet. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Wen Shao smiled and said, "I don't think so. I'm willing to gamble but I don't accept defeat. If he hadn't had some incredible luck, do you think he would have beaten me?"

Chao Bufan said calmly, "But the fact is, I did beat you, didn't I?"

Wen Shao nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, that's right, which is why I want to make another bet with you."

Chao Bufan said, "This money is something I won with great difficulty. I'm not stupid enough to lose it all back, so I don't want to gamble with you anymore."

At this moment, Boss Liu stepped forward and said, "Young Master Wen, whether someone wants to gamble or not is their prerogative. If you want to cause trouble, please go elsewhere and don't interfere with my business."

Wen Shao said, "Boss Liu, I didn't mean to cause trouble. I'm just doing my job to support your business."

“I’m telling you, Young Master Wen,” Chao Bufan said with a smile, “if you’re not satisfied, then go gamble with someone else. I’m not going to gamble with you anymore. If all else fails, then you can just take back the money you’ve lost.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Shao frowned and asked coldly, "Chao Bufan, are you really unwilling to gamble with me again?"

“Of course.” Chao Bufan nodded and smiled without hesitation, then added, “However, if you really want to gamble with me again, it’s not impossible, unless…”

Upon hearing this, Wen Shao was overjoyed, but Chao Bufan immediately held up one finger and asked, "One yuan a game, wanna join?"

"Damn it, are you kidding me?" Wen Shao cursed immediately upon hearing this.

Chao Bufan wasn't angry. He laughed and said, "Hehe, I never said I was going to mess with you. Just give me a straight answer. One dollar a game, wanna play?"

One dollar a game? Winning back that fifty million? That's a dream come true! Wen Shao gritted his teeth, trembling all over, and said angrily, "Fine, you've got guts!"

Chao Bufan gave a cold laugh and said, "So you're not going to gamble then! Fine, then please step aside."

Wen Shao frowned, squinted at Chao Bufan, then glanced at Tang Qianqian and the others, nodded, and stepped aside. Chao Bufan, holding Tang Qianqian's hand, smiled slightly at Wen Shao: "Thank you!"

Leaving the billiards room, Chao Bufan was in high spirits, feeling incredibly relaxed. He let out a long sigh and said, "Honey, it's getting late. How about we go eat?"

After hearing what Jing Chao said, Tang Qianqian did feel a little hungry. She had eaten lunch on the cruise ship, but it was just snacks. Even Huang Mengting and the others felt their stomachs were starting to rumble. So, Tang Qianqian nodded and said "Mm".

“Beautiful Huang, you should be more familiar with this area,” Chao Bufan said. “Give me a place where we can find better food. We’ll eat our fill tonight, and it’s on me.”

"Really? Then we won't stand on ceremony! Come on, I know a place." Huang Mengting answered directly without any hesitation.

In a private room at a five-star hotel, Huang Mengting and the others, having received special permission from Chao Bufan, ordered a table full of expensive specialty dishes. Chao Bufan didn't seem to mind the expense at all; instead, he sat casually next to Tang Qianqian. After Huang Mengting and the others finished ordering, he said, "Wife, take another look and order whatever you like."

Tang Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "They ordered all the food I like for me."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "Ladies, what would you like to drink? White? Red? Or yellow?"

Huang Mengting said without hesitation, "White liquor, please! It's been so long since I've had white liquor."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan snapped his fingers and said loudly, "Waiter, bring me a bottle of the most expensive liquor here."

The waiter said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

Soon, the dishes were served, and the waiter brought a bottle of spirits from a well-known international brand and five wine glasses. Chao Bufan divided the liquor equally and said, "I'll pour the liquor for you, but please drink as much as you can. Don't force yourself, after all, this is neither red wine nor beer."
