Chapter 148: Who's the hunter? 1
Xu Qingxun's figure was like a bolt of lightning in the brightly lit casino, fast and agile. The chips in his hands had already been sorted out. He glanced warily at Fang Jiahao behind him, then strode to the counter and exchanged the remaining chips for a cash check. He only left forty thousand chips and rushed to the gambling table with an unruly enthusiasm.
Fang Jiahao didn't rush forward to follow him. Instead, he gathered with Brother Buddha, who was a loan shark in the casino. The two of them whispered to each other, occasionally glancing in Xu Qing's direction from the corner of their eyes. Their murmurs loom over the noise of the casino, evoking reverie.
Xu Qing sat down at the gambling table. He had magical clairvoyance, but unfortunately, his ears did not have the same special function. He played the game generously, betting five hundred per game, at least two thousand at a time, and a thousand hidden cards. This undoubtedly fell into his comfort zone. He could see through everyone's cards with a simple sweep.
At the beginning of the first round, Xu Qing had three kings in his hand. The other players 'cards were not bad either. One of them even had a big card for preserved eggs. Xu Qing was calm and composed. After he had hidden two hands, the caution of the others caused most of them to choose to fold, except for the player who had preserved eggs. Xu Qing pretended to lift the corner of his card and looked at it. He threw 10,000 chips over, but in the end, the other party directly folded, allowing him to easily pick up the bottom bet of several thousand dollars.
Xu Qing didn't get any good cards in the next few rounds, but he didn't care. His gaze never left Fang Jiahao's movements. Finally, Fang Jiahao walked over with a smile.
Xu Qing's eyes lit up. A rare opponent card had appeared in this round. He got the ** 10 of hearts, while the other two gamblers got the flush with a and the 345 of grass flowers. He calmed himself down and after he darkened his hands, the two players who took the big cards began to get nervous and began to raise the stakes. They each bet twenty thousand, Xu Qing unhurriedly followed ten thousand, and the bet was even with the other party.
In the end, the gambler who took the straw straight directly raised the bet to 50,000 yuan. Another player gritted his teeth and threw 50,000 to look at his opponent's cards. In the end, he was defeated. In the smoky casino, Xu Qing, a seemingly ordinary but confident young man, sat alone at the gambling table, putting all his chips on the line. His gaze was firm, as if everything was under his control. Under everyone's surprised gaze, he gently flipped the card in his hand. It was a heart straight, a card that no one could match.
The gambler sitting opposite him was obviously stunned by this sudden victory. He looked at the forty thousand chips and hesitated whether to continue the challenge. However, he soon realized that his chips were not enough to continue the fight. He decisively decided to exchange chips, his eyes revealing a determination not to admit defeat.
Xu Qing waited calmly. He knew that this victory would bring him rich profits. Sure enough, not long after, the gambler returned to the table with a new chip. The face value was 5,000, and the total was 80,000. He did not hesitate to announce,"Open the cards!"
Xu Qing smiled and flipped the cards in his hand. It was a three-card, invincible card. The gambler's expression changed drastically. He sighed bitterly and admitted defeat. In this round, Xu Qing won nearly 200,000 yuan.
Xu Qing was not immersed in joy after winning. He put away his chips and prepared to leave. However, Fang Jiahao blocked his path. He mysteriously took out a foreign club work card from his pocket, and then took out a green jade Guanyin. He pointed at the chip in Xu Qing's hand and said," There is a number in the upper left corner of the 5,000-denomination chip. Do you have a number 08 in your hand?"
Xu Qing flipped through the chips in front of him and found that the number 0 was written on the upper left corner of one of them. He handed the special chip to Fang Jiahao and asked," What's so special about Number 08?"
Fang Jiahao took the chip and explained with a smile," This chip is specially made. Only those with a foreign club work permit can exchange it." He paused and continued," You won 200,000. According to our rules, you can choose to leave or continue the challenge."
Xu Qing frowned slightly and looked into Fang Jiahao's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts. He knew it could be a bigger scam. However, he did not retreat, but chose to continue the challenge. His eyes were full of confidence and enthusiasm, as if everything was under his control. In the magnificent casino, Fang Jiahao took the chips and carefully examined them. Then, with a warm smile on his face, he announced a special event. Mini games with winning chips are being played in order to thank the VIP guests. The lucky winner with the winning number in his hand will receive a small gift and be given a chip worth 200,000 yuan.
His words were full of enthusiasm and excitement, especially when he mentioned the word "free", his tone was full of emphasis. His eyes revealed a trace of envy, and then he carefully handed the jade Guanyin in his hand to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took the jade Guanyin and seemed to be in disbelief. He checked it several times before putting it in his pocket. He asked doubtfully,"You said there were two hundred thousand dollars in chips? And it's free?"
In order to make this scene more convincing, Fang Jiahao could be said to have invested a lot of money. Not only did he borrow 200,000 usury from Brother Buddha, he also specially found Emerald Guanyin. If this elaborate scam succeeds, everything will be returned.
"The winning chips can now be collected at the counter." Fang Jiahao smiled and guided. His acting skills were so outstanding that if he participated in the Oscar, he would undoubtedly win the Best Supporting Actor Award. Unfortunately, he met Xu Qing, who was already prepared.
Xu Qing pretended to be excited and successfully received two hundred thousand chips. When he proposed to exchange the chips for cash, Fang Jiahao smiled and reminded him,"Sir, according to the regulations, the winning chips must participate in two small bets in the VIP room." Win or lose, your chips will be cashed."
Xu Qing reluctantly looked at the chips in his hand and asked in a low voice,"Just two bets?"
Fang Jiahao smiled and replied,"Yes, sir." You're so lucky tonight, maybe you can earn more. Anyway, these chips are all unexpected wealth." What he meant was that even if he lost, he would not suffer too much loss.
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded." Then I'll go gamble twice." In the dimly lit underground casino, Fang Jiahao, a handsome man, led Xu Qing forward. Xu Qing's heart was like a flame ignited. He muttered repeatedly," I'll bet two rounds, I'll play two rounds…" However, his eyes were already flashing with a sly light. He secretly laughed in his heart," You want to cheat me, right? You'll cry later."
The two of them stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor, where the VIP rooms were located. Each VIP room is designed to be extremely private, as if it is a secret paradise for gamblers. This reminded Xu Qing of the underground black boxing arena in Longhu Villa. The design of the two was similar, even the style of the house number was the same.
Fang Jiahao led Xu Qing and pushed open the door of Room 8. It was a hall that was hundreds of square meters in size. There was a long gambling table in the center. Three men and a woman were already sitting at the table. There was also an empty chair that seemed to be waiting for Xu Qing's arrival.
Xu Qing's heart was like a surging tide. He took a deep breath and stepped into this exciting and unknown world. He knew that no matter whether he won or lost, he must resolutely walk out of this place. He was not the kind of person who would be bound by fate. Winning or losing was just a passing thing for him.
