At the hotel.
Yun Xue Yan arranged a hotel room for Lin Fan. It was considered the best hotel in Haojiang.
Gazing at the night sky outside, Lin Fan lay on the bed leisurely.
Meanwhile, at the Yun home.
Yun Tai Nian, Yun Xue Yao, Ye Zhen Ming, Ou Xing Yun and the rest were looking at the video display. Their brows were all furrowed.
“Pause. Enlarge it,” said Yun Tai Nian.
What they were watching at that moment was the video of Yun Xue Yao and Zhang Yuan’s gamble during the day.
“Grandfather, I didn’t see wrongly. My card was a 9 of hearts. I remember it clearly,” said Yun Xue Yao. Up until now, she still did not understand how Lin Fan had changed the 9 of hearts to an A.
Ye Zhen Ming was watching unblinkingly. “This is too mysterious. If he only changed the card, it would still be fine but how did he manage to place the card back into the box? This is inconceivable.”
“Carry on. Play it at the slowest speed.” Yun Tai Nian wanted to carry on watching the video, but with the speed set to the lowest.
Their Yun family had raised their empire through gambling. However, they did not rely on their gambling skills to do so. They did it using their brains.
There were many gambling experts and no matter how great they were, they wouldn’t get noticed much. However, Yun Tai Nian and the rest wanted to get to the bottom of what had happened that day. How had that card changed so suddenly?
The video was played very slowly. At this moment, a hand had already been extended and it grabbed onto Yun Xue Yao’s hand.
When Yun Xue Yao saw this, her face turned a little red. However, she still stared at the screen.
Then, Ou Xing Yun gasped in shock, “It changed. The card changed. How is that possible?”
At the moment that the card was revealed. The 9 of hearts had already turned into an A of spades. However, they still couldn’t see how this had been done.
They had already played the video at the slowest speed. No matter how fast Lin Fan’s hand had been, it couldn’t have escaped the camera.
After that, the video showed Zhang Yuan searching for the non-existent A of spades in the poker box but when he saw the 9 of hearts inside, everyone looked at each other in shock. There were no loopholes at all and not a single trace of cheating.
If one hadn’t known what the card had been at first, one would have thought that it really was an A of spades.
Ye Zhen Han sighed, “This is perfection. With this technique, if he joined the World Gambling Tournament, the title of ‘God of Gambling’ would belong to no one else.”
Every gambling expert’s greatest dream was to receive this official title. However, they could only think about it. To achieve it, the difficulty was unspeakable. It was really too difficult.
“He’s truly amazing,” Yun Xue Yao gasped in shock as her lips opened slightly.
On the other hand, Yun Tai Nian was very calm. “Alright, Xue Yao. Accompany Master Lin around tomorrow.”
“I got it, grandfather,” said Yun Xue Yao with a nod. Although their Yun family had great influence, they would always treat such amazing individuals as equals. Especially in such a competitive place as Haojiang, if they were too arrogant, it wouldn’t be good.
…
The next day!
Lin Fan was still in his sleep when he heard the sound of the door being knocked.
“Who is it?” asked Lin Fan sloppily.
“It’s me, Master Lin. Yun Xue Yao.” A sweet voice emanated from outside.
“Oh, so it’s Lady Yun. Please wait a moment while I tidy up a little.”
Lin Fan didn’t mind interacting a little more with that beautiful lady outside. Of course, it was just social interaction.
Not long after, Lin Fan opened the door. When he saw the beautiful lady in front of him, his eyes gleamed. Her style had changed very much from the previous day. She was dressed very casually. Her wavy, long hair was tied up behind. She gave off a ‘girl next door’ feeling.
“Master Lin, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet, right? I’ll bring you to a breakfast place that’s very well-known in Haojiang. After that, we’ll go to the scenic areas to have a look. Our Haojiang is known for its eight sceneries. For people who come to Haojiang, if they don’t go to these few places to have a look, it would be a wasted trip,” said Yun Xue Yao with a face full of smiles.
Lin Fan smiled and replied, “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Lady Yun with this.”
…
It was a very small shop. It seemed to have existed for a very long time already.
Yun Xue Yao saw Lin Fan sizing up the shop, thinking that it was old and shabby, so she quickly explained, “Don’t judge this shop by its size. It has already been open for almost sixty years. It is very well-known in Haojiang.”
Lin fan smiled, “I wasn’t. I’m just looking at it curiously.”
While waiting for the specialty snacks, Yun Xue Yao looked curiously at Lin Fan. “Master Lin, I’m very curious. Yesterday, I went back and did a search for you on the Internet. On the Internet, they say that you are very amazing. Is it true?”
“I’m just alright. I just know a little of everything. But Lady Yun really surprised me. You’re so young and you already manage a casino,” said Lin Fan with a smile.
“Lady Yun sounds too formal. You can call me Xue Yao. If it wasn’t for your help, I would have lost myself to the opposition,” said Yun Xue Yao. It was hard to tell if she was mocking herself or just rejoicing.
Lin Fan didn’t say much. For this Yun Xue Yao to be able to manage a casino at such a young age, she wasn’t a simple person. It is scarcely known that the more harmless a person looks, the more dangerous a person is likely to be.
If Lin Fan was to treat this Yun Xue Yao as one of those foolish and sweet young ladies, he would have to be a dumba*s.
Very soon, two servings of specialty snacks were served.
Tianfa imitation shark fin soup.
The shop had actually not opened yet but since Yun Xue Yao was the Yun family’s princess, they had to open their business for her even if they had not opened yet.
“Mmm, it tastes pretty good.” Lin Fan took a spoonful and it was indeed delicious.
Yun Xue Yao smiled delightedly as if her favorite thing had gotten praised by someone. “Since I was very young, I would always eat here. Although it’s a little expensive, it tastes very good.”
Lin Fan thought, “With the Yun family’s wealth, even if it was more expensive, it would probably still be cheap to you.”
“Calling you Master Lin feels awkward. Can I call you Brother Lin?” asked Yun Xue Yao.
Lin Fan nodded, “Sure. That’s not a problem. Sometimes, when people call me Master Lin, I feel old.”
“No way. Brother Lin is very young and very dashing as well. Moreover, you’re more amazing than anyone that I’ve seen,” complimented Yun Xue Yao.
Soon, the two of them left the shop.
He was unfamiliar with Haojiang but luckily, he had Yun Xue Yao to guide him. The first stop was A-Ma Temple.
It was very well-known in Haojiang and had a history of over five-hundred years.
However, on the way there, they were met with a very unpleasant situation.
At the road junction, two cars nearly collided with each other and the two sides immediately started cursing at each other.
Lin Fan realized that Yun Xue Yao looked a little infuriated but her expression quickly changed back. However, he saw Yun Xue Yao take out her phone and send a message.
He inadvertently took a look and realized that this Lady Yun had dominance akin to that of a mafia boss.
“Teach them a good lesson.”
Then, Yun Xue Yao kept her phone and flashed her dazzling smile. “Brother Lin, this kind of situation is common in Haojiang. But there won’t be any problems. The law and order here are good.
Lin Fan didn’t expose her and didn’t say much. He just smiled and nodded. This was her business and he didn’t need to care too much.
However, that man before had a pretty dirty mouth and he did deserve a good lesson.
