"I let you win."
These four words, spoken in a flat tone devoid of any inflection, were like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, exploding beside Sheng Huaiqian's ear, leaving his mind momentarily blank.

"You don't need to know so clearly," Ye Wanlan said indifferently. "All you need to know is that as long as you can get Sheng Ronghua to bet with you, I can ensure your win."
She leaned back in her seat, her movements casual but exuding a powerful sense of security and trust.
Compelled by some unknown force, Sheng Huaiqian nodded his agreement.
"Good, you have courage," Ye Wanlan said with a slight smile. "Come find me once you've signed the betting agreement."
Sheng Huaiqian said earnestly, "Miss Ye, you've helped me immensely, and I won't disappoint you."
