Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 161: Chapter 150: This Is Going Too Far

"Tonight, Prince Heng has done something unprecedented. Ever since the live-streaming industry started, it seems like no super-whale across the entire internet has been more extravagant than him. He’s probably set a record that will never be broken!"

"I was so absorbed watching that I forgot to move. I thought my wife would yell at me, but it turns out she was mesmerized too, hehe!"

...

The entire comment section was filled with a feverish atmosphere.

Time ticked by, second by second. Even though Desire Emperor and the others began a frantic comeback, the gap between the two sides only continued to grow wider.

Finally, at the moment the PK timer hit zero.

Xinxin’s score bar was ahead of Brother Bao’s by nearly a hundred million points.

A crushing defeat!

In fact, looking at the entire screen, the color representing Brother Bao’s score bar had been squeezed into near nonexistence.

It was the best two out of three. With two consecutive wins, Gu Heng had already locked in his victory.

Gu Heng opened the system’s light screen to check the progress of his "Legend" challenge mission. Seeing the Legendary Level was at 1.69% on its way to 100%, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Gu Heng placed the Habanos GR he was holding in his left hand onto the cigar ashtray, then followed the link to enter Brother Bao’s live stream.

[Prince Heng]: Surrender or third round?

Desire Emperor, who had been on the verge of deleting his account, suddenly felt a nameless rage flare up inside him when he saw Gu Heng’s question.

Fuck!

This was fucking insulting!

Surrender?

Isn’t this just humiliating me?!

[Desire Emperor]: We fight!

[Desire Emperor]: If you’ve got the balls, drop another five thousand Carnivals!

Desire Emperor, who was usually a man of few words, could no longer maintain his cool, badass persona under Gu Heng’s provocation.

Gu Heng, however, was still oozing confidence.

[Prince Heng]: Good.

That single word seemed to contain an endless, domineering aura.

"Darling~"

"You’re so handsome~"

After turning off her stream, Xinxin’s voice, which was already high-pitched and affected, became even more so. And just like Bingbing, she immediately rewarded Gu Heng with a sweet kiss.

Gu Heng, adhering to the principle of bestowing his favor equally, also took a moment to taste Xinxin’s soft, pink lips.

As he did, a thought couldn’t help but pop into his head:

’Her cutesy voice is so nice to listen to...’

’I wonder if her legs can squeeze just as well?’

Gu Heng, who always had a passion for "exploratory research," decided he would have to seriously observe and experiment in earnest later.

"Yangyang, start your stream."

With a girl on each arm, Gu Heng instructed Yangyang, "Let’s see who links up with you next."

"Okay."

Yangyang replied obediently.

Not far away, Wang Yan stood up and walked over to Gu Heng.

"So?"

"You’re really going for a third round?"

Wang Yan had gotten carried away by the intensity of the first round. In his excitement, he’d drunk a bit too much, too fast. Now, a wave of drunkenness was washing over him, and his eyes had become a little hazy.

But despite his hazy eyes, his mind was still clear enough.

"Of course we are."

"We’ve already played the first two. Might as well finish the third."

Gu Heng said with a chuckle, his tone utterly nonchalant.

Nonchalant?

Throwing 15 million into a single round!

And he calls that nonchalant?!

Wang Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But then he remembered Gu Heng’s 80 million US Dollar birthday gift, and how Gu Heng had been spending money like water that afternoon, and he suddenly felt that anything he said would be pointless.

Their spending power was clearly on completely different levels.

As the young master of Junyao Group, he was indeed very rich.

But Junyao Group didn’t even rank among the top 200 private enterprises in China. In terms of personal net worth, his father, Wang Junjin, couldn’t even squeeze into the top 300 of the Hurun Rich List for China. And on the Hurun Global Rich List, Wang Junjin was ranked well past the one-thousandth spot.

Besides, that was just the official data.

In this world, there was a lot of hidden wealth, fortunes unknown to outsiders. Take Gu Heng, for example—his background was a complete mystery.

There was always a bigger fish in the sea.

Just as Zhao Yongtao found it hard to understand his spending habits, he found it hard to understand Gu Heng’s.

To him, 15 million might seem like a lot, but in the eyes of people on a higher level, it might be as insignificant as 150,000 was to him.

"Fine."

"If you want to fight, then fight."

With his mindset shifted, Wang Yan didn’t try to persuade him anymore. He changed the subject and asked Gu Heng, "I came over to ask, what’s the plan after the PK is over?"

"We sleep, of course~"

Gu Heng smiled. "I’ll leave the master cabin upstairs for you. The two VIP cabins and two guest cabins downstairs are all mine. How about that?"

When Wang Yan first heard the first half of the sentence, his immediate instinct was to decline. But after hearing the second half and seeing Gu Heng’s meaningful smile, he instantly understood what Gu Heng had in mind.

"Fine, fine, fine."

"They’re all yours."

"Not only the lower deck, but I’ll leave you the main deck’s salon too."

"Tonight, when I go back to my cabin, I’ll bolt the door to the master cabin. Whenever you knock tomorrow, that’s when I’ll open it."

Wang Yan’s smile was full of tacit understanding. At the same time, he couldn’t hide the look of envy in his eyes as he looked at Gu Heng.

It’s great to be young!

Back in the day, he too had been a tiger on the prowl in Shanghai!

But nowadays, just one Yuanyuan was enough to leave him feeling a bit drained by the end of the night. He even had to rely on some "technological marvels" to barely keep up.

"Alright."

Gu Heng grinned, not standing on ceremony with Wang Yan at all.

"Then I’ll tell Lao Gao and Lao Deng later. After you finish the third round, I’ll have the yacht pull into shore for a bit to let them disembark."

Wang Yan nodded, gave Gu Heng a look, then got up and left.

"The party’s over after the third round."

Gu Heng gently stroked Bingbing’s and Xinxin’s soft, long hair. "If you’re feeling tired, you can go back to your cabins to rest first."

Hearing this, the two women glanced at each other.

"Chairman Gu, I’m not tired."

Bingbing shook her head. "I’m fine staying here with you."

When Xinxin heard Bingbing say this, her beautiful, lively eyes darted around, and she said in a sweet, delicate voice, "Chairman Gu, I got a little too excited just now and worked up a sweat. May I go back to the cabin and take a shower first?"

As Xinxin’s words fell, Bingbing’s expression froze for a second. Then, she instantly realized what the other woman was plotting.

Showering first meant being clean first.

With this head start, she would very likely be the first to have Gu Heng.

’Damn it!’

’This little schemer!’

’No wonder she didn’t answer first!’

Bingbing fumed inwardly. Even though she considered herself quite skilled in the art of feminine wiles, compared to this girl, she was as innocent as a pure white lotus.

"Go on."

Gu Heng waved his hand, giving Xinxin permission to leave. "If you need anything, just ask the yacht’s crew."

"Thank you, Chairman Gu~"

"You’re the best~"

Xinxin leaned in and planted a fleeting kiss on Gu Heng’s cheek. Then she stood up from beside Gu Heng, took the keycard for VIP Cabin 1, and headed for the stairs.

Not far away, Princess Lili looked at the dejected Yaya, a hint of guilt showing in her eyes.

"Yaya, I’m so sorry..."

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have stopped you just now."

Lili quietly sidled up to Yaya and apologized in a low voice.

"Lili, it’s not your fault."

"In the end, it was me who wasn’t ready."

Yaya shook her head, her once sparkling eyes now looking a little dim.

Seeing Yaya’s expression, Lili actually felt just as much regret as Yaya, if not more.

Ten million in ten minutes!

Not even a money-printing press going at full blast could match that speed.

Thinking of this, a classic movie line couldn’t help but pop into her head:

Once, there was a perfect opportunity right in front of me, but I didn’t treasure it. If heaven gave me another chance, I would grab it without any hesitation!

At the same time, she felt the only meme that could capture her state of mind was the one of a man frantically shaking a bald guy by the shoulders in sheer frustration.

It was a classic case of: I give you a chance, and you’re too useless to take it!

"Sigh..."

Lili looked at Bingbing, who was snuggled up to Gu Heng like a delicate little bird, and couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.

At the same time, she made a secret vow: if any other opportunity involving Gu Heng were to arise later, she would absolutely not let it slip by...
