Super Rich by Doing as You Please

He bet on three consecutive races, 10 million on each!

He lost the first race but won the next two.

In total, his winnings amounted to 220 million Hong Kong dollars!

Insane. Absolutely insane!

This was a first in the history of horse racing at Hong Kong Island’s Shatian Racecourse! No one had ever won such a massive prize!

The bigwigs in the surrounding boxes couldn’t necessarily see Xu Yun’s party, but the news had already spread: a member in a private box on the third floor had just won two "Win" bets in a row.

Everyone started pulling their strings, trying to find out who this person was.

Meanwhile, in their private box, Lin Wanzhou and the others stared at Xu Yun as if he were the God of Gamblers himself.

They couldn’t believe it. They absolutely couldn’t believe it was real.

How could he have possibly guessed correctly!

He wasn’t lying. This was a man truly blessed by the heavens.

Who else could be this lucky?

The woman with Ruan Qingnian had bet 20,000. Based on the odds, she stood to win over 200,000.

But right now, she was kicking herself for not betting more.

Lin Wanzhou had followed his lead with a 50,000 bet, winning 600,000.

But the one who regretted it most, so much that he wanted to slap himself, was Yu Jiale.

Xu Yun had urged him to bet, but he hadn’t trusted him and didn’t put down a single cent.

And now look. Everyone who came today had made a nice profit—everyone except him.

Xu Yun then turned to the adjacent box, his gaze falling on Li Ming, whose face was pale and his expression complicated. Xu Yun smiled and asked, "Go on, laugh. Why’d you stop? Not a fan of smiling?"

Li Ming was speechless.

"See? A fortune that’s completely out of your reach... I can get it with a flick of my wrist."

Xu Yun shot him a contemptuous look before turning to the others. "Let’s go. We’ll cash in our winnings and then go celebrate. My treat."

"Mr. Xu, about that..."

The staff member, now facing Xu Yun who was undeniably worth over a hundred million, became even more deferential.

He explained, "Smaller prizes can be claimed at the redemption hall downstairs. For larger amounts like yours and Young Master Ruan’s, you’ll need to visit our dedicated office for large payouts to complete the collection process."

"Then we’ll go downstairs to cash ours in first and wait for you guys."

Hearing this, Lin Wanzhou said, "Just come find us directly after you’re done."

"Alright." Xu Yun nodded.

After receiving instructions from the racecourse manager through his earpiece, the staff member escorted Xu Yun and Young Master Ruan to an elevator, taking them directly to the fifth floor.

"Brother Xu, you’re really something else."

Young Master Ruan chuckled. "On your very first day here, you’ve already gotten me up to the fifth floor."

"Why do you think the manager wants to see me?"

Xu Yun joked, "It’s not because I won too much, is it? They’re not planning on letting me walk out with the money, are they?"

"Uh, well, over two hundred million is a lot, but I doubt it."

Ruan Qingnian explained, "The Horse Club is the wealthiest club in all of Hong Kong. Their charitable donations alone are in the billions every year. To them, your two hundred million isn’t that much.

"Back in the day, when King Guo’s horse came in first, he bet 1,500 and won over a hundred million. They paid him out without any issue.

"So there’s no way they’d ruin their century-old reputation over a mere two hundred million. Otherwise, who would dare to come here and bet in the future?"

"That’s good. I was just worried they might see I’m not a local and decide to settle things with fists instead of reason."

"If that’s the case," Xu Yun chuckled, "it just so happens I know a thing or two about fighting myself."

Ruan Qingnian was speechless.

’Bro, you call that "knowing a thing or two"?’

’You’re the badass who took down Master Liang!’

Soon, the two arrived in a luxurious office and met the head of the racecourse.

To their surprise, it was a woman!

Her makeup was exquisite and perfectly applied. Her brows were shaped like distant, dark hills, and her eyes were firm and deep, as if they could see through anything.

She had a neat, shoulder-length bob, the slightly curled ends giving off a hint of effortless style.

Beneath a high-bridged nose, her lips were perpetually curved in a confident smile.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

The woman walked toward him. She wore a perfectly tailored business suit, its clean lines accentuating her tall, slender figure. Every step she took was poised and elegant.

She introduced herself, "I’m the head of the racecourse, Fu Baoying. Welcome to our establishment. Please, have a seat."

"President Fu."

Xu Yun observed the powerful-looking woman, offered a smiling greeting, and found a seat.

He took the initiative. "I was wondering why you asked to see me."

"First, congratulations, Mr. Xu, on winning big twice in a row."

Fu Baoying smiled. "In all my time as director, this is the first time anyone has won this much. You’ve set a new record, so I just had to meet the God of Gamblers for myself."

"I’m no God of Gamblers. I just got lucky."

Xu Yun replied, "My luck was just good today. I only guessed right on two out of three races."

"There’s no need to be modest, Mr. Xu," Fu Baoying said. "After today, your name will surely be legendary in Port City’s racing circles."

"The next time you come to our racecourse, I imagine you’ll receive a grand reception, whether it’s on the grounds or here in my office."

"I think I understand what you’re getting at."

Xu Yun teased, "So I’ve made it onto your blacklist!"

"Not at all, not at all. You’re joking, Mr. Xu."

Fu Baoying countered, "We’re an open business. Anyone who wishes to come is a welcome guest."

"In that case, you’ll be paying out my winnings from today, right?"

"Of course. I’ll have someone process your payment right away."

Fu Baoying called out, and a male secretary entered. "President Fu, you called?"

"Go arrange to have Mr. Xu’s prize money paid out."
