He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 304

"Yeah, keep betting for me. We should clear about forty thousand on this run."

She rubbed her temples, a faint smile on her lips. "Not many people are playing this yet. Once it gets crowded, it'll be harder to make a profit. I'm going to make a killing now and pull out before the general public catches on."

Forrest was stunned. Earning forty thousand dollars on a single transaction? What kind of business was this lucrative?

And judging by her tone, she wasn't even fully satisfied with that amount.

Juniper tapped her fingers lightly against the bar. Her tone was casual but deeply convincing. "The developers haven't noticed this loophole yet, so we can keep exploiting it to make money. But this is a gray area, so keep it quiet."

With that, she picked up her fresh drink and downed it in one go.

She placed her phone next to her hand, propping her head up as she asked the bartender, "Is this stuff usually this strong?"

The bartender nodded. "You ordered the strongest one we have. Do you want a glass of milk?"

Juniper tugged at her collar. "Could you help me over there to rest?"

The bartender was bewildered by her complete lack of self-preservation.

Still, he helped her over to a small sofa in the resting area.

Juniper's phone was left behind on the bar counter, less than four inches away from Forrest.

His heart pounded frantically. Based on what he had just overheard, this woman was exploiting a loophole to print money.

He had heard rumors about things like this—it was usually some kind of app.

He glanced around shiftily, making sure no one was watching, and snatched Juniper's phone.

It only required a swipe to unlock. No passcode.

He quickly scrolled through and found a pale red app.

Just then, a text message popped up.

It contained a string of code.

[Buy this one, 11307. It'll double in a few days. This is the last time I'm cutting you in. I'm worried the admins will catch on, and I don't want to go down with you.]

Forrest's heart hammered against his ribs. He yanked out his own phone and searched the app store, but the app didn't exist.

He shot a look at Juniper, who was fast asleep on the sofa.

Taking a deep breath, Forrest used file transfer to send the app directly to his own phone. He quickly found the matching code and, without fully understanding how it worked, blindly bought twenty thousand dollars' worth.

It was his first time doing something like this, and his fingers were shaking uncontrollably.

Juniper's phone lit up again with another message.
