My Fiancée Orders Me To Beg The Male Lead's Forgiveness

"…Impossible… Absolutely impossible…"

Seeing the result, Lin Ming's face turned deathly pale.

He had lost, and with it, his eyes.

The tens of thousands spent on the raw stones seemed insignificant now.

"…What to do…"

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have been greedy for that hundred million…"

"Damn it… Losing isn't my fault… Yes! It's not my fault at all! If it wasn't for my X-ray vision suddenly failing, I wouldn't have lost!"

"Since my X-ray vision failed, this bet is void!"

The more Lin Ming thought about it, the more it made sense to him.

Wang Haoran, however, paid no attention to Lin Ming's changing expressions. He first instructed the gambling venue manager to calculate the value of the jade stones and then transfer the money to his account.

[Ding, Lin Ming fails to impress and falls into crisis. Lin Ming's Protagonist Halo -150! Host gains 150 Fate Points! 15 Ability Points!]

The system's voice rang out.

Then, he smiled at Lin Ming.

"The money for the raw stones totals over sixty thousand. When are you going to pay up? Don't keep the boss waiting!"

Hearing Wang Haoran's words, Lin Ming became even more anxious.

He couldn't reveal his superpower, so "the X-ray vision failed, and thus the bet is void" couldn't be used as an excuse.

What to do?

Although he was usually bad at studies, his mind worked quite fast now.

He forced himself to look imposing and shouted at the gambling venue manager, "Put my things down!"

"Your things? They are mine now! Did you forget our bet?"

In response to Wang Haoran's question, Lin Ming argued confidently, "Of course I didn't forget! But our bet is invalid!"

"According to the rules, before betting, both parties' stakes must be verified."

"And I don't have over sixty thousand on me, so I can't fulfill the condition of 'the loser bears all the costs of the raw stones.' Thus, I wasn't qualified to bet!"

"So, our bet is invalid!"

Hearing Lin Ming's words, everyone mentally raised a question mark.

It's not us; it's you who has the problem!

Wang Haoran was the first to refute Lin Ming's words, "How could you not have over sixty thousand? Did you forget? I bet a hundred million against your eyes, and you agreed."

"That means you have a hundred million on you! So, there's no issue of qualification!"

Lin Ming brazenly argued, "So what if I agreed? Human organs can't be priced! That's illegal! You're committing a crime!"

Everyone looked at Lin Ming as if he were an idiot.

You know it's illegal? Then why are you gambling?!

Moreover, stone gambling is wild by nature. Even if it is illegal, as long as both parties agree beforehand, it must be executed.

You were so bold before the bet, but now you're talking about the law after losing?

This is treating us witnesses and Wang Haoran as fools!

They might have felt sympathy for him earlier, but now everyone wanted Lin Ming to pay the price!

Seeing Lin Ming's shameless and stubborn behavior, the crowd wanted to see how Wang Haoran would handle it.

Wang Haoran didn't want to waste words with Lin Ming. He directly instructed the gambling venue manager to take Lin Ming inside.

But before the security could act, a low voice rang out.

"Mr. Wang, let it go!"

"With your status, why make things difficult for a student?"

A middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a fierce expression walked out, and Wang Haoran narrowed his eyes.

Hu Ye, Lin Ming's early supporter.

"System, appraise him."

Li Hu: Leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang

Martial Strength: 150 (Ming Jin initial stage)

Physique: 100

Mental Strength: 70

Trust: -10

Hu Ye had come to see what the commotion was about but found his good brother in trouble.

So, he had to step in.

"Hu Ye!"

Seeing Hu Ye, Lin Ming was overjoyed. He had saved Hu Ye's life when Hu Ye was ambushed, so Hu Ye would definitely protect him!

"Brother Lin!"

Hu Ye nodded at Lin Ming, then continued speaking to Wang Haoran.

"Mr. Wang, here's a million. Can you give me some face?"

"Oh? What if I don't?"

Hearing Wang Haoran's response, Hu Ye's eyes glinted sharply.

"So, Mr. Wang is determined to bully someone with his status!"

As soon as the words fell, seven or eight of Hu Ye's men stepped forward, standing tall around him.

Hu Ye was good at putting labels on people. Wang Haoran just wanted to fulfill the bet but was now accused of "bullying with status."

And speaking of bullying, who could compare to the Fierce Tiger Gang?

If Li Hu weren't a member of the Fierce Tiger Gang, even a street vendor wouldn't respect him!

"Interesting, it seems the Fierce Tiger Gang wants to clash with the Wang Corporation!"

Called out directly, Hu Ye wasn't afraid, instead, he stood firm, "I have no such intention, but on the south side of the city, your Wang Corporation's construction site might need our cooperation to go smoothly!"

"Fine, very well!" Wang Haoran sneered, "In light of our 'cooperation,' let Lin Ming kowtow to me ten times! Ten million per kowtow, not unreasonable, right?"

(tln : A kowtow (磕头) is a traditional Chinese act of deep respect and submission, often performed in formal settings or during ceremonies. The term literally means "knock head" and involves kneeling and bowing so low that one's forehead touches the ground.)

Taking the bank card from Hu Ye, since it was offered, why not take it?

"Wang Haoran, you can kill me, but you cannot humiliate me! You dream!" Lin Ming roared, his face red with anger.

"This…"

Hu Ye wanted to speak but was interrupted by Wang Haoran, "Hu Ye, do you want me to give you more face? If I give you more, I fear you can't handle it!"

Seeing Wang Haoran's warning look, Hu Ye knew he couldn't push too far. If they broke off relations, he wouldn't benefit, and besides, it was Lin Ming's fault.

Hu Ye had no choice but to bend down and coax Lin Ming softly.

Lin Ming tried to persuade Hu Ye to fight their way out, but after Hu Ye pointed at the security reinforcements coming over, he gave up.

Maybe it was the earlier threat of having his eyes gouged out, but after seven or eight minutes of Hu Ye's persuasion, our protagonist, Lin Ming, finally lowered his proud head.

However, as he approached Wang Haoran, he tried to resist.

"Wang Haoran, if Teacher Liu finds out you're making things difficult for me, she'll be very disappointed!"

"Is that so…"

Hearing Liu Yunshuang's name, Wang Haoran hesitated, then took out his phone.

"You reminded me, let me record a video and watch it with Liu Yunshuang!"

"You…"

"Shut it. The sooner you kowtow, the sooner it's over. If you want to keep embarrassing yourself, I don't mind!"

"But, I want proper kowtows. If you try to fool me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Ming was about to explode with rage, but he saw the advantage wasn't his. Using tricks would be futile, so he decided to endure and seek revenge later.

"Fine, I'll kowtow!"

Facing Wang Haoran, Lin Ming knelt and prostrated himself.

"Thud—thud—thud—"

"Thud—thud—thud—"

"Thud—thud—thud—"

"Thud!"
