Free Web NovelChapter 2481: Chapter 1565: The Rain Isn’t That Heavy
"What’s up?"
Seeing his wife waving at him, Tie Jun apologized to the old squad leader and got up to walk over.
"Look at this car."
Wen Rong handed over her phone.
Tie Jun of course recognized that this wasn’t his wife’s phone. He glanced at Ji Ailin beside him looking excited, nervous, and filled with strong anticipation, making him feel even more baffled.
But the next second, when his gaze fell on that short video in the social media feed, his reaction was no different from the two women’s.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
There was no need for repeated confirmation. As someone who had an extraordinary interest in cars since childhood, Tie Jun almost recognized at first glance that the video featured the "ultimate toy" that had once captivated his soul.
The pinnacle of supercars in the supercar world.
The Koenigsegg One:1
Each one is privately customized.
Reportedly, there are only single-digit numbers of them worldwide.
That’s right.
Single digits.
With such a limited number, the value of this car can’t just be described in terms of price; if you had to match it with money, it wouldn’t be surprising if it equaled nine figures.
Hmm.
It’s just a small goal.
For car enthusiasts, this isn’t just a car; it’s the pinnacle of mechanical craftsmanship, an unparalleled work of art.
"Isn’t this, a Koenigsegg?"
Even though she already had the answer, Ji Ailin couldn’t help but ask, swept up by the overwhelming excitement.
Tie Jun nodded slowly, proving that men are just men, and he adjusted his breathing, "Was this shot in Sha City?"
"Yes."
Tie Jun returned the phone.
"Tie Jun, what you said before, it couldn’t all be...true, could it?"
Clearly.
Ji Ailin wasn’t thinking it was funny anymore.
"I said at the time, I wasn’t joking." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"..."
Ji Ailin was silent and then asked, "But when I searched online, they were all silver and black, so why is this one...red?"
"Maybe. Because it’s festive."
Indeed.
The only thing "unusual" in the video was the color.
But who among ordinary people could define such a rare toy worldwide?
Ji Ailin’s expression was extremely complex, wanting to say something yet stopping.
Wen Rong was the same, as if she wanted to say something to her husband.
Tie Jun seemed to sense their thought process, took a deep breath, and stood up, "I’ll...go ask."
"You won’t open on six 1s? Did you drink too much?"
Boss Jiang was playing dice with Tong Dan and Fang Qing.
The three of them, Fang Qing called six 1s, but Boss Jiang ignored it and even raised it, up to seven 1s.
Anyone who’s played drinking games knows how ridiculous it is for three people to call six 1s, let alone seven. Tong Dan, always bold and loyal, reminded someone despite it being against the rules, but the other party was stubborn, insisted on raising to seven 1s.
"If you’re being considerate, then you go ahead and drink! I won’t!"
Seeing the other party indifferent, Tong Dan decisively opened the dice cup.
Not a single 1.
"It’s yours."
Tong Dan’s gaze shifted to Fang Qing.
Qing Gege, who called out six 1s, opened her dice cup.
She had two, not calling blindly. If everyone was like her, with two 1s each, it indeed would be enough for six, but seeing Fang Qing’s dice situation, Tong Dan showed a confident smile, triumphantly and with a hint of pity as if caring for the foolish, she simply said to the person who called seven 1s, "Just drink."
Even though this game is called bluff, you still can’t just bluff without any sensibility.
Seven 1s, excluding Fang Qing’s 2, huh, it would take a miracle roll.
"You could’ve kept going."
Jiang Chen opened his dice, the same red dots like an immobilization charm, freezing Tong Dan’s smile.
A miracle roll plus one.
In total, not just seven, but there rolled eight 1s?!
"You’re cheating!"
Tong Dan blurted out without thinking, almost hitting the table. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
As a seasoned player, rolling five 1s in her life wasn’t unheard of, but it was very rare.
"Accept the loss."
Jiang Chen was calm and collected, with not a hint of guilt. He admitted he used a little technique, though only as an experiment.
Controlling the dice, in fact, isn’t too difficult to master with long-term practice. He certainly didn’t have the time or interest, so he merely tried it out consciously.
The result turned out pretty lucky.
If he tried it again, he likely wouldn’t succeed.
"Not playing anymore!"
Dice can’t be rigged, so it could only mean she met a "master," Tong Dan also simply admitted defeat and ducked into the bathroom.
"Shall we continue?"
Jiang Chen put away the dice, ready for a one-on-one with Qing Mei.
Most people, or any sensible person, faced with such a situation, would have the wisdom to back down when facing such an opponent. But Fang Qing unbelievably ignored it, nodding her head.
"Continue."
True.
In any case.
Not gambling money.
At worst, drink alcohol.
Fortunately, Tie Jun, who came over, saved Fang Qing. He had seen the previous scene and could only say, today’s Jiang Chen is no longer the same as he once was.
Just that one move, in the past, give him a hundred chances, Jiang Chen couldn’t have rolled it.
"Qing Gege, even ordinary people know to stop losses in time. You’re a lawyer, why jump into the firepit?"
Tie Jun took over Tong Dan’s spot.
"Want to play?"
Jiang Chen extended an invitation.
Tie Jun shook his head smartly, "I don’t play games with cheaters."
Jiang Chen didn’t insist; his vanity had been greatly satisfied.
Handling people like Tong Dan was doable.
If Daoist Sister or Lan Peizhi were sitting here...
Heh.
"Let me ask you something."
"Yes."
Tie Jun hesitated a bit, "Do you still remember what you told me when you were a kid?"
