Volume 9 – Chapter 83: Snowing in the North & Great Luck in the South (Part 1)

In a room of this luxurious clubhouse, there was a lot of monitoring equipment. Now, almost all of these monitoring devices were staring at a table.

It was not an exaggeration to describe it as 360 degrees monitoring with no blind spot.

“Ah Jie, what do you think? Is this guy cheating?” The man speaking was less than 40 years old. He was responsible for managing these tables on the basement second floor.

At this time, the person in charge frowned. The gambler on this table had already earnt more than 100 million at the casino table in the main lobby within a short period of time. Right now, things escalated in a terrifying manner.

“No… definitely not.” The man named Ah Jie was probably in his early thirties.

Ah Jie himself was a professional gambler with legends told about him. Later, the group behind this hotel noticed him and hired him to become a technical consultant for the casino. To put it bluntly, he was hired to tackle cheaters in the casino.

“No?” The middle-aged person in charge’s brows furrowed again. “He hasn’t lost once yet! This is impossible!”

At this moment, Ah Jie was also a little uncertain. His eyes showed his concern, and his brows were frowning, “To be honest, I really think he didn’t cheat. My eyes can’t go wrong… You see, we have inspected in slow motion, and we haven’t seen any abnormality in him at all. Unless his hand speed is faster than the camera, but that is impossible. Maybe he is that kind of person with superb luck.”

“Superb luck… He did it with only just luck?” The manager was surprised. He obviously didn’t believe in this reason. No matter how lucky a person was, it was impossible to never lose once.

“Yeah, I can’t believe it too.” Ah Jie sighed, “In our gambler’s industry, superb luck is also a legend. I remember my master once told me that he once encountered such a person. This person doesn’t know how to gamble; he hasn’t even played poker. But just under a fair draw, he won ten times in a row. My master said professional gamblers aren’t afraid of any opponent other than this kind of person. I think this guy in the casino’s main lobby may be a person with superb luck.”

“But, I still don’t believe that people’s luck can be so good.” The middle-aged person in charge insisted on his point of view.

This underground casino needed a brand. Although any casino in the country could not get a legal license, there were naturally other ways since there was one right here already.

Since the brand mattered, this casino would naturally not use the low-class methods on the streets to make a fuss at the gaming table. They would hire the experienced to be the croupier or banker for each table.

It is precisely because of this practice there were so many wealthy local people and even foreigners gathered in this place. The uncapped betting practice also meant that the casino owner was extremely wealthy.

This was the reason that the customers felt at ease in this underground casino.

At this time, a man quickly walked into the room and looked at the middle-aged person, “Director Feng, we have found his background. This person is called Liu Zixing. He was originally the Tianyun Group’s Young Master. After the previous proprietor passed away, Liu Zixing inherited the group. He has a clean background; he is not a professional gambler too.”

“Tianyun? Never heard of it.” Director Feng shook his head.

“Oh, this company is mainly engaged in the business of jewelry and antiques.” The man added quickly, “It’s not a big enterprise, but it’s not on a small scale either. It’s also a little famous in their industry.”

“Hmm. What else?”

“I have checked it up. His mother kicked him out of the company a few days ago. He has lost all his shares in the company. He’s even kicked out of his family.” The man frowned and said, “I heard it seems to be because Liu Zixing is a gambling addict. He took fancy in gambling all these while. Of course, he owes a lot of money outside. I heard news in our industry that he hadn’t paid back the money owed at Panther’s place. Everyone there is searching for him outside.”

“His mother kicked him out of the family. She even took away all his share.” Director Feng was taken aback and subconsciously asked, “Is his mother a stepmother?”

“It’s a biological mother. Liu Zixing is the only child too.” The man was also a little confused, “I heard that Liu Shi was doting on Liu Zixing in the past. I don’t know why she fell out with him all of a sudden. Probably, she is too disappointed in him. .”

“He won again.” blurted Ah Jie abruptly.

Director Feng suddenly turned around and looked at the screen on the monitor. This guy just made a bet and won again. There were not enough chips on the table, so the staff had to come over from the cashier with a plate. As for the banker at the gaming table, his face turned pale at this time, sweating profusely and looking towards the camera.

“No way. Ah Long has been hit and completely lost his confidence, so he will only continue to lose.” Ah Jie said decisively at this time, “Director Feng, this guy’s luck at this time is too terrible, and too vile. I suggest speaking to him privately.”

“Wait, I’ll make a call and ask.” Director Feng shook his head at this time and walked quickly to a small room in the monitoring room.

He took the phone, took a deep breath, and then cleared his throat. When the call was connected, he said respectfully, “Third lady, I am Fengshan. There is something I want you to know.”

“Go ahead, but hurry up. I’m going to enjoy the snow with my grandpa in Mountain Xiang.”

Fengshan quickly explained the situation. After the woman on the other end was silent for a while, she said calmly, “If he is lucky, he will still run out of luck. Don’t stop him and let him be if he wants to continue. If he is smart, he knows when he should stop. It just so happens that you can also take advantage of this opportunity to build a reputation. If we can attract more customers by losing just a billion or so, then it is a profit. I just emerged in this industry. I need to have a good reputation in the circle.”

Only the third lady was so courteous, unfazed at throwing away a billion yuan. Fengshan’s heart palpitated faster after hearing this.

But, he did not dare to say anything even if he was the person in charge of this place. People like him were more than a dozen all over the country. This clubhouse was not the only one!

“I understand what to do now, third lady.” Fengshan didn’t dare to comment further at this time and received the order.

At this moment, the third lady suddenly spoke out, “Since you took the initiative to call me, please report it alongside too. What is my Second Elder Brother doing recently?”

“Third lady. The second young master has quiet down recently.” Fengshan quickly said, “I don’t see anything going between him and the lady of the Zhang family. Cheng Yun is managing his business, seemingly supporting a small band too.”

“You continue to monitor him. I’m switching off the call first.”

“Yes” Feng Shan held the phone in his hand and nodded. He added in a hurry, “Third lady, please also help me to bless the old man about his health.”

“Got it.”

…

Beijing was snowing. Under the fluttering snow, a young woman wearing a mink coat, in a manor looked into the distance.

“Great luck?”

She smiled slightly, then tightened her coat tightly before turning around. Not far away, two elderly were making tea, watching the snow and playing chess at the pavilion in the manor.

“Is the matter over?” One of the elders who was laying down shook his head and looked at the young woman with a slight smile, “Zhong Luoyue, you may go if you have anything else to attend. Old Luo is here to stay with me.”

Miss San. Luo Yue sat down and poured tea for the two old men who were playing chess, “Of course I can rest assured with Grandpa Luo here. But, I have to fly to Los Angeles next week. I won’t be back before the Chinese New Year. Grandpa, don’t you want me to stay with you more?”

“You girl.” Grandpa Zhong smiled happily at this time, “Your eldest brother, second elder brother and you are the most clingy.”

Luoyue faintly said, “Eldest brother and second elder brother will still stay at home after marrying. But, Luoyue will need to leave the family after marriage.”

The other old man next to him – Grandpa Luo smiled at this moment and said, “It is a blessing for that person to be able to marry the third lady. If he dares not let you go back to her family, Grandpa Luo will beat him up!”

“Grandpa Luo, you’re kidding with me again.” Luo Yue blinked her eyes, “Who dares to marry me if you are like this?”

“Who dares not to marry you? I’ll use a whip to beat him!”
