My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 524: Falling into the Trap, Counterattacking

Sophia stood beside Zhang Lei, smiling gently, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhang Lei."

Zhang Lei didn't trust her at all. From the moment he first met Sophia, he had already secretly planted a trap on her.

Soon, the game began, and cards were dealt face down, giving each player two cards.

Zhang Lei glanced at his two tens, exactly 20 points. He then looked at Sergio and said with a smile, "Let's bet 100 million first."

Sergio looked at his cards: "I'll bet 100 million too. But I'll ask for another card."

Sofia responded and drew a card, tossing it to Sergio.

Sergio smiled smugly: "Looks like I'm in luck today." He then turned over his cards—8, 8, 5, making a total of 21.

Zhang Lei put down his cards and laughed, "Mr. Sergio, you're really lucky. I lost this round."

The second game begins.

Sergio has another 21 points.

Zhang Lei looked at his 19 points and immediately folded, losing another 100 million.

In the third, fourth, and fifth games, Sergio scored 21 points in every single round.

Zhang Lei lost 500 million in a row.

Victor and Nikola, watching from the sidelines, were overjoyed, praising him repeatedly: "Sergio is amazing! He's a true gambling god!"

Zhang Lei pretended not to hear the two sycophants and remained silent.

The sixth inning begins.

Zhang Lei watched Sofia shuffle the cards and suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I need to cut the deck."

Sofia was taken aback.

Zhang Lei simply took out a white card and casually tossed it into the deck that Sofia had shuffled.

Sergio nodded slightly to Sofia, signaling her to continue.

The cards continue to be dealt, two cards to each person.

Sergio looked at his 20 points and was confident that he had enough to beat Zhang Lei.

Looking at Zhang Lei, he only had 6 points.

Zhang Lei frowned and said, "One more."

The newly dealt card is a 10, making the total only 16 points.

Zhang Lei frowned even more deeply: "I'll spend one hundred million."

Sergio immediately placed a bet of 200 million.

Zhang Lei looked at him and said in a deep voice, "It seems I underestimated Mr. Sergio. How about this, I'll take another card and bet 500 million."

After saying that, he placed the newly dealt cards face down on the table without looking at them.

Sergio suddenly became anxious. He was wearing special glasses and could see Zhang Lei's cards through his assistant's binoculars in the distance. But when Zhang Lei folded the card, he couldn't see it anymore.

But considering the 500 million bet, he gritted his teeth and placed his bet anyway.

Seeing that Sergio had bet 500 million, Zhang Lei quietly lifted a corner of the face-down card.

The telescope in the distance captured a 3 on the card, and the image was immediately synchronized onto Sergio's glasses.

Sergio breathed a sigh of relief; it was 19 PM.

I have 20 points, a sure win.

He smiled provocatively: "Mr. Zhang Lei, are you scared off by my bet?"

Zhang Lei feigned anger, slamming his hand on the table: "You scared me? Are you kidding me? In that case, I'll bet two billion right away, are you in or not?"

Sergio's smile deepened as he watched Zhang Lei's furious expression: "Follow me."

Zhang Lei's temper flared even more: "Then I'll bet another three billion!"

Sergio calmly replied, "Since Mr. Zhang Lei wants to play, I'll play along to the end."

Looking at the billions of chips piled up on the table, Zhang Lei glanced at his remaining chips and found he had one billion left.

He frowned and said, "In that case, I'll bet all of my remaining billion."

Sergio laughed and said, "In that case, I'll go for it too, two billion."

Zhang Lei frowned: "What do you mean? Your chips are a full 1.1 billion more than mine."

Sergio chuckled, "Isn't this exactly how Mr. Zhang Lei used to play?"

Zhang Lei retorted angrily, "There has to be a limit, right?"

"Of course there's a limit; we each have 10 billion chips."

Zhang Lei slammed his hand on the table: "Fine, fine, fine! Is this how you play it? Okay!"

After saying that, he whispered a few instructions to Number 000.

Number 000 immediately turned and left.

Zhang Lei looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to the restroom first. Wait for me for ten minutes; my men are going to get the money."

Sergio laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait ten minutes. After ten minutes, whether your people arrive or not, I'll reveal the cards."

Zhang Lei nodded: "Okay."

He left another robot on site to guard the chips, then turned and left.

The group looked at the robot that was left behind but didn't think much of it.

Sergio, looking smug, grinned at the crowd and said, "Our Mr. Zhang Lei, you wouldn't have peed your pants from fear, would you?"

Victor and Nikolai immediately burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lei went into the restroom, and after confirming that no one was following him outside, he quickly released people out of his personal storage space.

Soldiers were released in batches, each armed with a gun and grenades, and quickly deployed to control the area inside and outside the toilets.

The toilet attendant stared in disbelief at the endless stream of people emerging from the stalls—men and women, and even some who looked elderly.

He scratched his head, looking puzzled, and muttered to himself, "I don't remember this many people going into the restroom, how come so many are coming out all of a sudden..."
