Chapter 518: Gambling and force are inseparable
Gong Xin suddenly appeared with a smile on her face. After seeing the chips in Brother Gui and the tumbler's hands, she was stunned for a moment, then her smile became even wider. She came over and said softly to Zhang Xingwang:
"Brother Hua is waiting for you upstairs. I have thought of everything, but I never thought you would be a master of gambling."
Zhang Xingwang ignored the other party's words and replied casually:
"Take me to see Brother Hua, Brother Gui, you guys can play by yourselves for a while or come with me."
After hearing this, Brother Gui barely managed to get out of his money trap. Looking at the bearded man whose smile didn't reach his eyes, the worthless look on his face gradually disappeared, and he returned to his arrogant and domineering boss look, and replied in a serious tone:
"As your brother, how can I let you go alone? I have to have someone by my side when I go out. Of course I have to accompany you!"
There were unexpectedly many people in the luxurious VIP room upstairs. Zhang Xingwang took a quick look around and found that there were about a dozen men and women among them. They all looked very proud. Most of the men were elderly, with only two middle-aged people, and they were accompanied by their confidants or female companions.
The VIP room is a hall filled with all kinds of gambling equipment. A few impatient people have already started placing bets.
It was probably because the chips in the hands of the big brother of the tumbler were too eye-catching. Zhang Xingwang and his group attracted a lot of attention when they came in. Brother Hua warmly greeted Zhang Xingwang over, and then told Mr. Zhu that he was only responsible for drinking today, and the gambling table matters were left to Zhang Xingwang.
Mr. Zhu smiled and echoed a few words about the young people being formidable, and loudly told everyone about Zhang Xingwang's previous performance, obviously already knowing what happened downstairs.
Everyone was very happy to hear that he had won more than 10 million yuan. Two of them even joked that it was the first time they saw Old Man Zhu bleeding heavily. They estimated that the casino's annual profit was only this much, so today must be a good day.
Detective Chief Hua had no idea what Zhang Xingwang had just done. After listening to Brother Gui's vivid and moving narration, he laughed happily.
He decisively asked the waiter behind him to give the chips to Zhang Xingwang, and quietly told him to let him win whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't go too far, he could take it all...
People in the hall seemed to have a special liking for poker, but unfortunately Zhang Xingwang couldn't find a way to cheat. People here were very professional. Each deck of cards was only used once, and the suits were all different. Zhang Xingwang looked for a long time but had no idea where to start.
Detective Chief Hua looked at the hesitant Zhang Xingwang, leaned over and said:
"Awang, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just play around. You are the protagonist today and everyone is waiting for you."
"I'm not very good at playing cards."
Looking at the empty seat at the round table, Zhang Xingwang sat down, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. He suddenly realized that the reason why Inspector Hua asked him to come along was just an excuse. It was probably because he was in big trouble and wanted him to protect him.
They were playing Stud Poker, and there were five people in total at the table including Zhang Xingwang. The one dealing the cards was the bearded croupier who had just come in. There was no extra nonsense and he started dealing the cards neatly. Gong Xin was also holding a glass of wine and was looking at him leisurely from behind.
In a short while, Zhang Xingwang lost a lot. After all, apart from the five cards, most of them were exposed. It would be okay unless Brother Tong rewarded him with a special ability. Gong Xin behind him never left, and got closer and closer to him as time went by.
Inspector Hua, who was expected to win money, didn't even look at the card game. He seemed to be discussing something with Mr. Zhu. Only Brother Gui still had confidence in him, even though he lost 500,000 chips and was left with more than 300,000.
Just when Zhang Xingwang was thinking about covering the cards with his hands to see if he could change the bottom card, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that a middle-aged man with a big nose walked in.
He walked over quickly and whispered in Mr. Zhu's ear for a long time. Then Mr. Zhu called Detective Hua over with a serious face and said to Zhang Xingwang with a chuckle:
"Inspector Hua hasn't introduced Mr. Zhang properly yet. It's true that young people are to be feared!"
The Chinese detective shrugged, then cleared his throat and said solemnly:
"Everyone, Awang became famous so quickly that some of you may not have heard of him. Let me formally introduce him to you. Awang is a disciple of Mr. Eight-Armed Arhat and is now the best master in Hong Kong Island."
The card game was forced to be interrupted after the introduction, but most people sneered at Zhang Xingwang's identity. After all, a master is just a synonym for a bodyguard to them.
Even though the other party is on friendly terms with Detective Hua, he is just a higher-level bodyguard. Only the expressions of Mr. Zhu and Gong Xin are intriguing.
After the introduction, Inspector Hua also confessed the real purpose of calling Zhang Xingwang. He received news a week ago that someone in Macau wanted to kill him.
No one dares to take the life of an inspector in Hong Kong Island, but it is different in Macau. There are many people who dare to let the inspector die in Macau. Inspector Hua sighed when he talked about this. For those bad guys who have no future, the inspector only has one head.
Seeing Zhang Xingwang's puzzled expression, Inspector Hua continued:
"I was with you on the way here. No gang or gunman in Hong Kong Island dares to take action in front of Guo Jianglong. Mr. Zhu is here, so when we leave the casino, it will be the most dangerous time."
"Brother Hua, isn't it too late for you to confess now? After all, I won a lot downstairs!"
"I just called Zhu Laogui, and he said that you can take all the money you won downstairs without missing a cent. I also saved 30 kilograms of gold, which I will use as my life-saving money!"
"Brother Hua is really a particular person..."
Until night fell, Zhang Xingwang and his group returned to the hotel smoothly. Brother Gui directly asked the casino to change the money into US dollars. After deducting the handling fee, he got two boxes.
It is said that a total of two million US dollars were exchanged, and two certificates of origin were also issued.
Because the amount was too large, Brother Gui finally decided that he only wanted 40%. Zhang Xingwang also understood that in the face of such a huge sum of money, Brother Gui was very calm to take the initiative to give up 10%.
Watching the big brother Doli take out the hand buckle and prepare to weld himself to the box, Zhang Xingwang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Under the confused gaze of the two people, he put the money into the "clothes" one by one.
Just after sending the two away, an uninvited guest came. Gong Xin knocked on the door again and walked in on her own.
Zhang Xingwang discovered that the fabric on this woman's clothes was getting less and less every day, and today her chest was extremely thin, which made it obvious that she had bad intentions.
Gong Xin stated her demands straight away. Her family had a reluctant cooperative relationship with Mr. Zhu, and the next gambling license issuance would be more than a year away. Not wanting to be kicked out, the Gong family began to take sides in advance.
She had already learned from Mr. Zhu about Zhang Xingwang's resume as the top master. Regardless of whether it was exaggerated or not, she hoped to cooperate with Zhang Xingwang. After all, gambling and force have never been separated. She also claimed that Zhang Xingwang would bring unexpected benefits.
