"No, I didn't participate in the competition. I just appeared as a spectator." Grace shook her head. She didn't have that much money to participate in this kind of competition. She was able to appear here because of that man Jason Ben.
, that is, her public boyfriend.
Jason is a professional gambler, and his favorite gambling method is Texas Hold'em. Whether it is to win bonuses or to compete with the masters, he comes here, and he and Sri happen to be in the same gambling hall.
, and from this moment, the two of them are competing.
Grace didn't want to continue watching, so she left the casino, but she didn't expect to meet Chu Yan outside, because she knew that Chu Yan was one of the people participating in the competition. Now that she saw him here, she instinctively thought that he was
Already struck out.
"Oh, your boyfriend is still competing?" Chu Yan did not answer Grace's inquiry, but directly smiled and asked another question: "Do you think he has any hope of advancing to the finals?"
"I don't know, but he is very good at Texas Hold'em poker, so it won't be very difficult to qualify." Grace shook her head. It's not that she didn't know about her boyfriend's strength, but she didn't care. All her thoughts were on it now.
On one thing, he wanted to use Chu Yan's power to completely break away from Jason Ben.
So after the words fell, Grace glanced around, then lowered her voice and continued to say to Chu Yan: "Rick, how have you considered what I told you?"
"What's the matter?" Chu Yan was stunned, and then pretended to be innocent, and Grace had to express her request again: "Rick, I want you to help me escape from here, as long as you can stay away
Jason, if you ask me to pay any price, I will agree to it."
"Grace, you should know that this is the high seas, and there is no human habitation within a radius of dozens of kilometers, right?" Chu Yan looked at Grace. From the bottom of his heart, he did not intend to interfere with Grace's matter. After all,
, it is better to do less than to do more.
Moreover, Chu Yan's affairs are no longer one thing more or one thing less. He has helped Queen Bee find Sri. If everything goes well, he and Queen Bee will leave the Princess Knight in advance.
Chu Yan had no idea what the situation would be like for Grace and her boyfriend.
"I know, but if you can help me when the Princess Knight docks, I think I can still escape." Grace nodded. She knew very well that her request was a bit abrupt.
Moreover, to be honest, Chu Yan knew nothing about her. Such a request was indeed a bit excessive for Chu Yan.
"Grace, you know I can't give you any guarantee, because for me, I don't know what will happen on this ship." Chu Yan looked at Grace and rejected her again.
Request: "So, if you really want to leave your boyfriend, I'm afraid you have to choose another way."
After Chu Yan said this, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, then looked at Grace and asked subconsciously: "Speaking of which, why did you leave your boyfriend? Is there any reason why you had to leave?"
"Yes! If there was no need to leave, would I have asked you for help when I first met you?" Grace was instinctively disappointed after hearing Chu Yan's refusal, but she also knew that Chu Yan's
It was reasonable to refuse. His desire to leave Jason Ben was so urgent that he proposed it before the time came.
"Oh, in that case, please tell me. Although I can't make any promises to you, if it is necessary or there is an opportunity, I may do something." Chu Yan's words made Grace feel happy.
, and then briefly explained the relationship between himself and Jason Ben.
To put it simply, Jason Ben and Grace are not a couple. Jason Ben designed to win all the property of Grace's parents overnight. Grace's parents chose to commit suicide, and Grace learned the news of her parents' death.
After returning home from abroad, Jason appeared in front of her as a friend.
Later, after a series of events, Grace became Jason Ben's woman. Later, Grace accidentally learned the truth of the matter. When she went to question Jason Ben, Jason Ben was also completely torn apart.
He was shameless, beat her up, and put her under house arrest.
The conflict completely intensified. Grace tried to escape from Jason Ben's control several times. However, every time she tried, he would be beaten up by Jason Ben and kept under house arrest for a longer period of time.
Over time, Grace gave up the idea of escape, and Jason was obsessed with her and took her with him almost everywhere.
However, the only thing Grace wanted to do was to leave him. Although she had been calm for a long time, when the two of them came to the ship, Grace's desire to escape from Jason Ben burst out instantly. This is also
The main reason why she found Chu Yan.
Of course, Grace did not deliberately seek out Chu Yan, but that chance encounter was the only five minutes Grace could escape from Jason Ben's surveillance. At that moment, the only person who appeared in front of her was Chu Yan.
The right candidate.
So, what happened next happened naturally.
"Grace, those two people standing over there are the ones monitoring you?" After listening to Grace's words, Chu Yan stood up with a smile and went to the side to pour a cup of coffee. Then he sat down again and lowered his head.
He asked in a loud voice: "From the moment you came out, the two of them were standing there with their eyes fixed on you. Are they your boyfriend?"
"Yes, the two of them are Jason's lackeys. They will follow me wherever I go, but they don't restrict what I do. As long as I don't try to escape, they won't care if I go shopping or something."
Si nodded, she didn't have to turn her head to look at anything, because she knew exactly what Jason would do.
"Have you never thought that if you escape, will he catch you back?" Chu Yan's question shocked Grace. She indeed had never thought about these things. She only wanted to escape. As for escaping,
She had no time to think about what happened next, and she didn't know how to think about it.
"I don't know, just take it one step at a time." Grace simply shrugged and gave an answer that sounded helpless: "I just want to escape from him, as far away as possible, as for other things
, I don’t have any ideas yet, because I can’t even escape from him, so what’s the use of talking so far?”
"You are quite realistic." Chu Yan smiled and shook his head. Then his eyes fell in the direction of Casino No. 6. Another player appeared. Moreover, looking at the expression on this player's face, it can be judged that he too
The tragic player who was eliminated.
"It's not my reality, it's that reality is too helpless." Grace's reaction was a little disappointed. As she spoke, she stood up and poured herself a glass of red wine. Then she returned to her seat and looked at the two people standing in the distance with faces.
He couldn't help but reveal a touch of numb coldness.
"Hi, you are very lucky today." The eliminated contestant came to Chu Yan and said hello with a smile, while Chu Yan nodded with a dull smile on his face: "Indeed, I am today
My luck is good. So far, I haven’t seen the second person qualify. I don’t know if I won too quickly.”
"Don't worry, you'll be fine soon, okay! I won't bother you anymore, I've been eliminated, and I have to find my woman to find some comfort." The visitor chatted for a few words, and then left directly.
At this moment, Grace finally understood that Chu Yan was not struck out, but that he had completed the conditions for promotion and was the first to advance, so he appeared here.
This discovery made Grace very surprised. She looked at Chu Yan with a scrutinizing face, and her faint smile became more and more obvious. This expression made Chu Yan look a little strange: "Grace, your expression is...
What's the meaning?"
"It's not interesting." Grace shook her head, then smiled and picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then, under Chu Yan's gaze, she had to explain: "I just didn't expect that you are also a person who has a deep secret.
There are seventy-two contestants out there, and you are the first one to qualify. I’m afraid you can’t do this just by luck?”
"No, you are wrong." Chu Yan smiled and shook his head, denying it bluntly: "I really rely on luck. This is really possible."
