After Rebirth, I Am the White Moonlight of All The Big Brothers Chapter 422

A Perfect Win – Three Parties Investigate Her

For the final bet, Jiang Fuyue calmly announced, “A silver-rimmed, intaglio-carved Red Jade Imperial Seal.”

Both the appraiser and Xu Yao froze.

They had expected her to continue betting in cash, so the sudden switch to an entirely different item was unexpected, yet not entirely surprising.

But once they realized exactly what the item was, Xu Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled.

“I was wondering what kind of wind could blow someone like Mr. Jiang here. Turns out, it wasn’t the wind at all—it was you, and nothing could stop you from coming.”

Jiang Fuyue smiled as well, completely unfazed. “Isn’t it a good thing? Since this is something Boss Xu wants, I’m offering it to you directly.”

“Oh, it’s a good thing, indeed. But even if you didn’t offer, someone else would.”

He was referring to Lou Mingxin.

“And now that you’re racing to hand it over, you still want to negotiate terms with me? Honestly, I might as well let the previous person bring it instead. What do you think?” His tone was light, his gaze deep.

“Boss Xu, I think you haven’t quite figured something out yet,” Jiang Fuyue replied smoothly. “It’s not about who you want to give it to you—it’s about who actually can. Because right now, the item is in my hands, which means it’s mine…”

A slow smile curved her lips as she delivered her next words, each one a deliberate step on his nerves, like a reckless tap dancer stomping on a landmine.

“If I choose to give it to you, you’ll have it. If I don’t, you can only watch helplessly. Understand?”

Xu Yao’s throat tightened, his expression darkening. “You deliberately outbid Lou Mingxin just to drive up the price and force me into a deal?”

“No, no, no.” Jiang Fuyue shook her head, looking positively amused. “I simply wanted to make things difficult for her. She wanted the Red Jade, so I took it. She wanted to acquire land rights from you, so I made sure you two couldn’t cooperate—preferably, I’d even turn you against each other. Exciting, isn’t it?”

Xu Yao: “You lunatic!”

Jiang Fuyue’s smile didn’t waver as she took the Red Jade from Liu Sisi’s hands, casually toying with it as if it were nothing more than an old walnut.

Her nonchalant attitude made Xu Yao’s heart race.

That was Muhammad’s Imperial Seal she was tossing around like a trinket!

Was she out of her mind?! What if she dropped it?!

Xu Yao clenched his fists, forcing himself to stay composed. The last thing he wanted was for her to notice how much he cared about it—otherwise, she’d become even bolder.

Unfortunately, from the moment his gaze landed on the Red Jade, Jiang Fuyue had already caught that fleeting glint of anxiety in his eyes.

He’s panicking.

“I’m using the Red Jade as my wager,” Jiang Fuyue declared. “Boss Xu, unless you can produce another Red Jade of equal value—one that was also once an imperial seal—your only other option is to give Lou Mingxin a thorough beating. Face swollen, bruised all over—that kind of beating. Choose.”

Xu Yao’s eyelid twitched violently. He gritted his teeth. “Where the h*ll am I supposed to find another Red Jade Imperial Seal in such a short time?!”

Jiang Fuyue shrugged and spread her hands. “Not my problem.”

Xu Yao: “…” (I really want to punch someone right now.)

“Actually, there’s one more option,” she continued. “If Boss Xu can’t produce a Red Jade and also refuses to deal with Lou Mingxin, then you can simply admit defeat. Withdraw voluntarily, and the bet ends here. Your only loss would be the money you’ve already put in. How much was it again?”

She turned to Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi smiled and answered sweetly, “Not much. Three hundred and seventy million dollars.”

Jiang Fuyue nodded. “That’s really not much. Didn’t Boss Xu just say he has no shortage of money? A small price to pay.”

Xu Yao felt like he had been punched in the gut.

He was caught between two choices—either cut his losses now or push through the final round and reveal their cards.

Jiang Fuyue glanced at the hourglass beside her. “Boss Xu, you have thirty seconds.”

“…” Xu Yao exhaled sharply. “I’ll go along with it!”

Clap, clap, clap—

Jiang Fuyue applauded.

“And what’s your choice?”

Xu Yao’s jaw clenched. He ultimately surrendered to her game. “…I’ll handle Lou Mingxin for you.”

Jiang Fuyue’s face lit up with a radiant smile. “Now, wasn’t that much easier? Why put yourself through all that stress? Don’t you agree?”

Xu Yao: “…” (I swear, I want to sew that mouth shut.)

The dealer spoke up. “Now, please reveal your cards.”

Xu Yao picked up his cards and flicked them onto the table.

All spades—two Aces and three Kings!

A powerhouse of a hand!

Jiang Fuyue’s lips curved as she leisurely flipped over her own five cards, one by one.

All spades—five Kings.

“Impossible!” Xu Yao lost his composure for the first time.

Jiang Fuyue gasped dramatically. “Wow! Looks like I’m really lucky today.”

From a seven-deck game with over 300 cards, there were only seven spade Kings. Five of them were in Jiang Fuyue’s hand.

It wasn’t just luck—it was eerily unbelievable.

Xu Yao’s voice turned icy. “You cheated.”

Jiang Fuyue’s smile remained unchanged. “Boss Xu, are you overestimating me? Or underestimating yourself?”

Xu Yao had ruled the casino world for years. Who would dare try to pull tricks under his watch?

He had only made the accusation to test her reaction.

But Jiang Fuyue didn’t seem guilty in the slightest.

So… was it really just luck? Did she truly draw five spade Kings by chance?

Xu Yao found it impossible to believe. Before the game even started, he was supposed to be the one with incredible luck!

Jiang Fuyue lazily stretched out a hand. “Little Liu, collect the money.”

Liu Sisi immediately swept the pile of chips toward her with gleaming eyes.

So. Much. Money!

Not only did they win back everything they spent at the auction, but they even turned a profit!

Liu Sisi’s gaze toward Jiang Fuyue became even more fervent—admiration mingled with sheer infatuation.

How could someone be this incredible?

Liu Sisi thought that in this lifetime, she would never meet anyone more dazzling than Jiang Fuyue.

Even if such a person existed, they wouldn’t capture her attention like this. Wouldn’t stir her emotions so deeply.

“Boss Xu, you lost.”

Jiang Fuyue rose from her seat, speaking each word clearly.

“I’ll be taking the money now. And make sure to get the job done quickly—Lou Mingxin is leaving A City the day after tomorrow. Once she’s out of province, your Jiufeng Group won’t have jurisdiction anymore.”

With that, she casually slung an arm around Liu Sisi and walked out.

Her departing figure radiated arrogance and defiance.

And Xu Yao could do nothing but watch them leave.

His money. His pride. His dignity.

All gone.

“…F***!”

It took him five whole minutes to calm down.

Then he waved over a bodyguard.

“Find out who that woman is.”

“Yes.”

“And handle the Lou Mingxin situation.”

“……Understood.”

“Wait.” Xu Yao hesitated, then added, clearing his throat, “Make sure she’s black and blue.”

“……Oh.”

“It’d be best if you throw a sack over him first.”

The bodyguard’s eye twitched: “……Understood.”

At the front desk, Liu Sisi exchanged the chips for cash. She refused a check and asked them to transfer the money directly to her bank account.

Only after confirming the amount and that it had arrived did she leave with Jiang Fuyue.

“Didn’t expect you to be such a money-grubber.”

It was just a teasing comment, but Liu Sisi blushed on the spot like a shy schoolgirl.

Jiang Fuyue found it amusing and couldn’t resist reaching out to gently touch her cheek.

Mm, soft and smooth—felt nice to the touch. Would’ve been even better without the powder.

Liu Sisi’s round black eyes widened like a startled puppy, and then…

Her face turned even redder, completely out of control.

Jiang Fuyue clicked her tongue, “Why are you so shy?”

….

2:00 AM. Xu Yao’s investigator returned with information on Jiang Fuyue.

“…She’s from the Imperial Capital. Her identity has been specially processed—normal channels can’t trace anything.”

Xu Yao sat behind his desk, propping his temple with one hand. “What about non-normal channels?”

The subordinate replied, “It’ll take time. And even then, we might not find anything.”

“…” D*mn it!

It was clear now—she came prepared.

“In addition, while we were investigating, we discovered two other groups also looking into this person named Jiang.”

“Oh?” Xu Yao raised an eyebrow and instinctively sat up straighter. “Which two?”

“One is from the Lou family.”

No doubt, Lou Mingxin must be upset about having her red jade stolen and wants to get it back.

“And the other?”

“Also from the Imperial Capital. They were present at yesterday’s Christie Auction as well, and even bought the Yuan Qinghua. They have a powerful background and close ties with people at the top. From the capital to City A, they’ve had the red carpet rolled out—government escort and all.”

The subordinate paused briefly, then added his speculation: “They’re likely after that Yuan Qinghua. Word is, it’s a lost national treasure, and they intend to return it to the country. But for some reason, they’ve linked up with this Jiang person. They even used official channels to investigate him, though their methods are relatively mild—so they likely aren’t enemies in the strictest sense.”

Xu Yao fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Who would’ve thought one auction would attract so many factions—and drag him into it too…

D*mn it!
