Chapter 104: A Bet!

“Yo, isn’t that the old city’s beloved big grandson, Jiang Tiancheng? I was wondering who it was, surrounded by so many people!”

While enjoying himself, Jia Tong suddenly spotted Jiang Tiancheng, surrounded by a crowd. He smiled and walked over, his eyes full of disdain.

“Is your grandfather here? What’s the matter?”

Jiang Tiancheng, who already disliked Jia Tong, immediately became as angry as a cat with its fur raised upon seeing him.

“Do you want to be my grandfather? Then go dig up my family’s ancestral grave and ask my grandfather if he agrees!”

Upon hearing this, Jia Tong’s expression became even more delighted. He knelt on the ground and earnestly said, “I saw my grandfather, and I send my greetings on his behalf!”

He then started to perform a traditional act of kneeling and bowing in reverence, causing Jiang Tiancheng and the people around them to frown deeply.

“Damn, are you crazy?” Jiang Tiancheng snapped, glaring at Jia Tong.

“Yeah, I am crazy. Do you have any medicine for it?”

Unexpectedly, Jia Tong became even more excited after hearing this, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Jiang Tiancheng.

This look sent a chill down Jiang Tiancheng’s spine.

“Shit, Jia Tong, there’s a limit to jokes!”

Beside them, Jin Liyao rubbed his arm, getting goosebumps, and sneered.

“Yeah, it’s not funny,” he added.

Jia Tong pursed his lips and stood up, brushing off the dust from his knees.

When he looked at the group of people again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Shen Fei, excitedly saying, “You, you’re that notorious gambler, right?”

“When Kong Fuwen told me that Jiang Tiancheng was hanging out with a gambler, I thought he was joking! This is a slap in the face—really, a slap in the face!”

Jia Tong said, slapping his own face to emphasize the point.

In the next second, he stepped forward with a strange expression, “I heard that at the last West Suburb Gambling Stone Conference, you personally won over 40 million? That’s some great luck! How about we gamble together?”

“There’s a soccer match tonight! I’ll be the host and invite you all to bet. What do you say?”

With that, he looked around with a smile, scanning the people nearby, “Jiang’s General Manager from Chengyou Tech, Hu’s General Manager from Zhongtai Commerce, and tonight’s organizer, Mr. Duan… This could be interesting! Dare to?”

Jiang Tiancheng and the others weren’t really interested in gambling on soccer, but just as they were about to dismiss Jia Tong, Shen Fei spoke up.

“Of course, we dare!”

“That’s what I like to hear from a gambler, straightforward!” Jia Tong said mockingly.

“If we’re going to play, let’s make it special. Betting on who will win is boring—how about betting on the number of goals?”

“Sure, what’s the bet, Mr. Jia?” Shen Fei replied calmly.

Jia Tong thought for a while and then took out several sets of keys from his pocket, “A 500-square-meter villa in the suburbs and a Ferrari worth nearly two million. Is this enough sincerity?”

“If you win, these will be yours. But if you lose, you all kneel and give me three kowtows, calling me ‘Grandfather’ three times. What do you think?”

“…”

If it weren’t for Hu Yuantai pulling his sleeve, Jiang Tiancheng would have rushed over and beat Jia Tong up. This was nothing short of blatant insult.

His eyes wide with rage, Jiang Tiancheng seemed ready to pounce.

At that moment, Shen Fei suddenly patted Jiang Tiancheng on the back.

Then, with an innocent smile, he looked at Jia Tong, “Mr. Jia, you don’t have to worry, if you lose, just like you said, you can kowtow three times and call us ‘Grandfather’ three times.”

“Alright, I’ll add that to the original terms!” Jia Tong grinned, eyes shining with malice as he looked at Jiang Tiancheng and the others.

“Jiang, Hu, Mr. Duan, what do you think?”

Jiang Tiancheng turned to look at Shen Fei. When he saw the confidence in Shen Fei’s eyes, the rage inside him suddenly calmed down.

Past experiences told him that Shen Fei wouldn’t act impulsively. He was sure that Shen Fei had something up his sleeve.

“Mr. Jia should leave himself a way out, so that he doesn’t lose too badly!” Jiang Tiancheng said calmly.

“If Brother Fei says so, what’s there to be afraid of?” Hu Yuantai said decisively.

However, Duan Guoxiang didn’t understand what was going on. Hearing that the other two had agreed, he was stunned.

It was one thing for Jia Tong to be crazy, but now Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai were playing along. What if they lost? How would they face the consequences in the city? How would Duan’s family save face?

But now that both Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai had agreed, if he didn’t follow suit, how could he back out?

Helpless, Duan Guoxiang gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, let’s play.”

When Jia Tong heard the three of them agree, he was somewhat surprised. His request was to humiliate them directly. Kneeling and calling him ‘Grandfather’—how could anyone accept that? Yet, these three rich heirs had agreed.

Jia Tong didn’t know how to respond.

The soccer match’s outcome was uncertain, but Jia Tong was sure of one thing: he wanted to win.

As long as he won, even if he had to give the house and the car to the losers, it was fine! But the key was, he had to win.

“Mr. Jia, we’ve all agreed, so what’s your say?” Shen Fei said, not giving Jia Tong a chance to back out.

As for the football match…

Even those who usually had no interest in soccer could have heard of this match. The reason was simple: the result of this match was extremely unpredictable.

In his previous life, Shen Fei had forgotten about this event, but he didn’t expect Jia Tong to bring it up tonight.

But since Jia Tong had mentioned it, Shen Fei didn’t mind taking the opportunity to play with him.

“Of course I want to bet!” Shen Fei said with confidence, disregarding the outcome for now. His posture was one of never admitting defeat.

Jia Tong suppressed his anxiety and looked at the four with a mocking expression, “When the soccer match starts, our bet will also start! Don’t try to back out!”

“This match is between Germany and France, both teams are strong. I bet the total goals will be less than six!”

As soon as Jia Tong finished speaking, he was met with disdain from the second-generation heirs around him.

In the years of soccer matches, there were very few games where the total number of goals was six or more.

Wasn’t he obviously trying to make them lose?

“Jia Tong, do you even know how to play? If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t play! Even though we’re not interested in soccer, we know that it’s rare for the goals to exceed six!”

Jiang Tiancheng retorted angrily.

“If you really want to play, how about we change the goal number with you? If we lose, each of us will give you a car and call you ‘Grandfather’ five times. What do you say?”
