Haojiang.
Ye Zhen Ming let out a breath of relief. A shred of calmness appeared on his panic-stricken face.
Ou Xing Yun, who had four fingers missing, asked eagerly, “Did Master Lin agree to come?”
Ye Zhen Ming nodded, “He agreed and he’ll be coming tomorrow. If even Master Lin can’t do anything, then nothing can be done.”
Ou Xing Yun nodded. He appeared to feel very helpless. During this period of time, they had been tormented. They had been tortured so much by that man that they were close to collapsing.
When someone cheated, with their sharp eyes and experience, there was no way they wouldn’t be able to see through it.
However, they had observed that man for so many days now. They hadn’t missed a single card but they could not see anything wrong at all. To them, this was impossible.
The only other possibility was that the man did not cheat.
But was that even possible?
How could one’s luck be so good? Perhaps that man’s technique was so brilliant that even they could not see through it.
*thud thud*
A staff member entered. “Mr. Ye, Mr. Ou, that man is here again.”
The two of them exchanged looks of frustration. All they could do was go down to take a look.
In the casino.
That middle-aged man was casually and coolly sitting there. A crowd had gathered around. During this period of time, everyone had realized that this man was a gambling god. As long as they followed him, they would not lose. He was causing the casino to fall apart.
But even so, the casino could not close its doors to him because that would mean that they could not afford to lose. It would greatly impact their business and reputation.
Ye Zhen Ming and Ou Xing Yun arrived.
The dealer, who was under a lot of pressure, was drenched in sweat. He immediately moved aside. In the face of that middle-aged man, he was under a lot of stress. Even his hands were trembling.
“Mr. Zhang, you’ve already won quite a lot in these few days. You should know how to be content,” said Ye Zhen Ming. However, there was a slight tremor in his tone as well. It was clear that in these few days, he had been overwhelmed by the man’s imposing manner.
The middle-aged man was playing around with his chips as he couldn’t help but laugh, “Could it be that even Mr. Yun’s casino cannot afford to lose so much? If that’s the case, then it would be a shame. I think it’d be best for it to close down soon.”
Ye Zhen Ming had a look of fury on his face but he was at his wit’s end. There were so many people around, what could he possibly do?
Moreover, this man was very well-liked by the other guests. At this moment, these guests were shouting from the side as well.
“Yeah! If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t even open the casino.”
“He didn’t even cheat, why isn’t he allowed to win? Are you the only ones allowed to win?”
At that moment, a loud bellow rang out.
“Who said that the Yun casino can’t afford to lose?”
Everyone looked over and couldn’t help but gasp.
What a beautiful woman.
Almost like a siren.
“Lady Yun.”
“Greetings, Lady Yun.”
When the staff saw that she had come, they all greeted her courteously.
This was the Yun family’s little princess and also their famous successor who had always been responsible for the casino. Although she was only twenty-one, she had been regarded as a genius since young and had received numerous degrees.
After she returned, she took over the casino business. What shocked everyone was that Lady Yun’s gambling skills were actually amazing.
But if you thought about it, it was understandable. The Yun family had opened this casino in Haojiang and it had many experts under its banner. And naturally, it wasn’t an issue for Lady Yun to study skills and techniques under them.
At 1.75m tall and wearing high heels, the crowd of men felt suppressed by her.
Some of the men who were shorter even felt a little ashamed as they stood before her.
Ye Zhen Ming walked over. “Lady Yun, this man…”
Yun Xue Yao raised her hand to interrupt. Then, she looked at them and said, “The Yun family’s business is to let everyone play happily. Winning and losing is a law. Winning means that one is capable. Losing means that one has bad luck. For this Mister to win so much, it means that he is capable.”
Zhang Yuan smiled, “They say that those with big boobs have no brains. I see that Lady Yun is an exception. Since Lady Yun has come, I shan’t gamble anymore today. I wonder if Lady Yun will have the time for a gamble tomorrow, right at this place.”
Ye Zhen Ming’s brows furrowed. “Lady Yun, this…”
Yun Xue Yao didn’t say much. She just replied swiftly, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Zhang Yuan stood up to leave. “Okay. Tomorrow, I shall compete against the genius of the Yun family. But I wonder if there will be anything on the line.”
Ye Zhen Ming was infuriated. “Mr. Zhang, don’t be ridiculous.”
“Haha,” Zhang Yuan laughed, “That’s fine too. Since she knows she’ll lose, Lady Yun wouldn’t dare to put anything at stake. Forget it, forget it. Just come on time tomorrow.”
When the other gamblers saw that the guru had left, they became anxious. They had wanted to follow the guru and win some money. Now that the guru had left, how would they win? However, the itch to gamble rose up in their hearts again. Then, they gradually dispersed and joined in at various gambling tables.
In the face of the young but beautifully moving Lady Yun, Ye Zhen Ming was also a little anxious. However, he steadied himself and said, “Lady Yun, you shouldn’t have agreed with him. His gambling skills and superb.”
Yun Xue Yao said, “I know that but it’s better to lose to him than to lose my face. How is the investigation going? Have you found any problems?”
Ye Zhen Ming shook his head, “No, not a single hint. However, I’ve invited an expert. Tomorrow, we’ll definitely be able to discover his cheating techniques.”
Yun Xue Yao didn’t think much of the expert. “Relying on oneself is better than relying on others. Tomorrow, I will gamble with that man. You guys look closely. If you find any problems at all, bring him down immediately.”
“Understood.” Ye Zhen Ming nodded.
Haojiang was the heaven of gambling. Experts from around the world would come here to win money. However, the checks here were very strict and many cheaters would get caught on the spot.
Eventually, those cheaters would be handed over to the police. Over here, cheating was against the law and those who cheated would be prosecuted.
The next day!
Lin Fan had not packed much. He just carried his backpack with his clothes inside. After all, he would only be there for a few days. There was no need to bring too much.
Fraud Tian had already found out the previous day that Lin Fan would be going to Haojiang. Naturally, he had begged for his boss to bring him along to see the world together.
However, he had been instantly rejected by Lin Fan. Lin Fan was not going there to play and he would be back in one or two days at most. He had no idea what would happen if he brought Fraud Tian along, so he rejected him.
At the airport.
He boarded the plane
This was Lin Fan’s first time to Haojiang. Although he was going there to help Ye Zhen Ming, he saw it as a tour.
Then, the air stewardess notified the passengers that they had reached Haojiang.
Standing in the airport, Lin Fan found the exit. Then, he dialed Ye Zhen Ming’s number. After confirming his bearings, Lin Fan headed towards his destination.
Outside the airport, Ye Zhen Ming’s saw Lin Fan and raised his hand. “Master Lin, over here.”
Lin Fan heard his voice and looked over. Then, he smiled, “Haojiang is really a pretty good place.”
Ye Zhen Ming chuckled. “Teacher Lin, most people who come here are here to gamble. However, the environment is pretty good indeed. Please, follow me.”
In the car.
Lin Fan looked at the scenery outside as he said, “Teacher Ye, when did you come to Haojiang?”
Ye Zhen Ming said, “I only came over after I was notified. I’ve been idling over there and not making any developments these few days. I can only leave when this matter is over.”
“Teacher Lin, this matter is urgent. The Yun family’s lady is going head to head with that man right now. We have to hurry over and prevent anything bad from happening,” said Ye Zhen Ming.
“Yun family? I always see it on the news. It’s a very big clan in Haojiang.” Although Lin Fan wasn’t very knowledgeable about it, he often saw it on the news and he knew about it.
Ye Zhen Ming nodded, “Mmm, the Yun family has a very strong presence in Haojiang. This Lady is the Yun family’s youngest princess and she’s very powerful. The casino I work in is managed by her.”
“Oh.” Lin Fan nodded and didn’t ask more. There was no point in asking too much. After all, it had nothing to do with him.
