Chapter 855: The Gambling King Appears, and the Fight Between the Big Brothers

Just as the beautiful dealer's fingertips touched the Spade 7?89 bottom cards and was about to cheat and change the cards, Lin Lang quietly used his mind power, causing the hidden cards in the cuffs of the beautiful dealer's long-sleeved uniform to be suddenly nailed down as if by an invisible force.

The cards hidden in the cuffs were motionless, and no matter how the beautiful dealer tried to pick them up with her fingertips, they seemed to be welded to the sleeves and could not slide out.

"what's the situation?"

"This is a gamble of more than 4 million. I can't let you down at the critical moment!"

The secretly surprised beautiful dealer broke out in a cold sweat. Her hands, which were suspended in the air, froze into a strange arc. The professional smile she had been carefully maintaining was almost unable to hold on, and the blood color instantly faded from her cheeks.

When the casino manager saw this, cold sweat dripped onto the floor from his temples. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he thought, "This is the top Thousand Hands dealer in the Lisboa Casino. He has never failed in his card-changing tricks. Could he fail this time?"

The casino manager was extremely nervous. He watched the dealer's fingertips tremble above the hole cards, but he didn't dare to reveal the cards. The hand that was used to turning the tide now felt as heavy as if it was filled with lead.

"What? The dealer doesn't dare to reveal his cards?" The smile on Chu Yiren's lips was three parts amusement and seven parts coldness.

The beautiful dealer's throat rolled, and her nails dug deep into her palms. She could feel that the hidden cards in her sleeves were locked by an invisible force, and she couldn't even move them slightly.

If you forcefully turn over the bottom cards of Spades 7-89 at this moment and fail to change the cards, you will inevitably expose the dealer's killer hand of 9 points.

For a moment, the beautiful dealer was in a dilemma. If she turned over the cards, the casino would lose more than 4 million yuan, and she would also have to bear the consequences for her mistake.

Not turning over the hole cards would affect the reputation of the casino, so the beautiful dealer could only hold the hole cards with her hands suspended in the air and look to the casino manager for help.

The casino manager took two quick breaths and immediately realized that Lin Lang was a hidden tough guy. He was so nervous that his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped into his throat. However, he didn't know what to do because the situation was already out of control.

Lin Lang finally moved his gaze away from the slit of the beautiful dealer's cheongsam and looked at the dealer's hole card that had not been turned over. He sneered and said, "What do you mean by not opening the card yet? Is there any shameful trick hidden in this card?"

"Uh..." The beautiful dealer's face looked extremely ugly, but she didn't dare to turn over her cards.

Seeing this, Chu Yiren looked at the casino manager and sneered, "Could it be that your casino can't afford to lose and dare not open the cards?"

"This..." The casino manager was sweating profusely and was about to bite the bullet and ask the dealer to open the cards when he saw the door of the VIP single gambling room being pushed open by a group of people.

Chu Yiren looked back when she heard the voice and saw a dozen bodyguards surrounding the gambling king, Stanley Ho, and walking in with a sense of oppression.

Lin Lang thought that He Hongshen was looking for trouble because he couldn't stand losing. Unexpectedly, He Hongshen walked towards Chu Yiren with a smile on his face and said, "My virtuous granddaughter is coming to Xiangshan'ao to play. Why didn't you tell your uncle in advance?"

Lin Lang was confused when he heard this. The system reminded him, "Chu Yiren's third grandfather, Chu Zhongguo, died for his country in the battle to liberate Longhai. He was the fiancé of He Hongshen's sister, He Wanqing."

"After her fiancé Chu Zhongguo died heroically, the affectionate He Wanqing settled in Changhai and never married. She died of depression in Changhai at the age of 35. After her death, she was included in the genealogy of the Chushi family as Chu Zhongguo's fiancée, making an exception."

"Ho Wan-ching was born into the prominent Ho Tung family in Hong Kong. Her grandfather, Ho Ah-fu, was a wealthy businessman in the early days of Hong Kong. Her father, Ho Shi-guang, was a comprador for Jardine Matheson & Co. in Hong Kong. The family is quite powerful in the fields of finance and real estate."

"To put it bluntly, when He Wanqing and Chu Zhongguo fell in love and got engaged, it was a powerful marriage between the Ho Tung family of Hong Kong Island and the Chu family of Haikou. Unfortunately, the war ruthlessly cut off the fate of this pair of lovers, and also made this tragic love story come true."

"At that time, Ho Hongshen was already 78 years old. Considering the relationship between his late sister Ho Wanqing and the older generation of the Chu family, it was not wrong for him to call Chu Yiren his virtuous granddaughter."

Chu Yiren stood up from her chair without being rude and responded politely, "Hello, uncle."

He Hongshen first looked at the beautiful dealer and ordered generously: "Open the cards!"

The beautiful dealer did not hesitate and opened the second chapter. The banker's hole cards were spades 7-89, plus the clubs 7-1J that had already been opened. She reported the cards truthfully, "The banker has 9 points, and the player has 8 points. Congratulations to the two distinguished guests for successfully betting on the banker to win."

He Hongshen laughed loudly and said, "My dear granddaughter, you have good luck. Looking at the chips on the gambling table, you must have won about 10 billion, right?"

Chu Yiren half-jokingly said, "I came here uninvited and won more than 9 million chips in my uncle's casino. You don't feel bad, do you?"

Ho Hongshen replied humorously, "I feel bad, of course I don't. Your great-uncle has four concubines and a lot of children to support. Everything costs money. I will tell the casino manager to put you on the blacklist to prevent you from winning so much money again."

Chu Yiren could naturally tell that He Hongshen was joking and really put her on the casino blacklist, so she followed up the conversation and said, "Uncle, it's not enough for you to put me on the casino blacklist. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend Lin Lang. You have to put him on the blacklist as well."

He Hongshen took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Lang and said, "I have heard of Mr. Lin for a long time. Today I see that he is indeed handsome and talented, and he has a lot of charm like me in my old days."

"Hello, Mr. He! Do you know me?" Lin Lang politely shook hands with He Hongshen and greeted him.

Ho Hongshen smiled and replied, "Mr. Lin is a triple fighting champion and has a huge influence in the Xia country's fighting world. My second wife's fourth daughter, Ho Chiu-yee, admires you very much and has many of your posters posted at home."

Lin Lang said in a businesslike manner, "I see. I've seen the movie Purple Storm starring Miss Qi, and I also know that she was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards last year for this movie."

Because Pansy Ho is Stanley Ho's seventh daughter, it is not wrong for Lin Lang to call Pansy Ho "Miss Seven".

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lin Lang, He Hongshen looked back at Chu Yiren and said with a smile, "My dear granddaughter, you clever little ghost won nearly 1 billion in my casino. I have to find a way to make back this huge loss through your Truman Group."

"Oh? Uncle, let me hear how you plan to make the money back." Chu Yiren blinked playfully.

Ho said: "We, Shun Tak Group, have always wanted to enter the mainland real estate market and intend to build a CitizenM hotel in Hongqiao District, Shanghai."

"We also want to acquire the two plots of land, Suhewan 81-02 in Jing'an District, Jinhai, and Qiantan 31-01 in Pudong New Area, for real estate development. Can you give the land to our Xinde Group in the second half of the land auction in Jinhai City?"

Chu Yiren replied perfunctorily: "Uncle, you are joking. The land in the downtown area of ​​​​Longhai is very valuable, and the land auction is not decided by our Chu family. I am afraid that the younger generation is powerless."

"My dear granddaughter, please don't play Tai Chi with me. Everyone knows that every coin that falls from the sky in Hai City belongs to your Chu Group."

"You are so young, yet you have succeeded your father as the president of the Yihai Chamber of Commerce. With the power and connections of your Chu family in Yihai, if you want to give up a few plots of land to our Xinde Group in the land auction in the second half of the year, isn't it just a matter of a word from you, my virtuous granddaughter?"

The casino manager stood aside, watching his boss Stanley Ho and Chu Yiren chatting and chatting, secretly wiping his sweat off his forehead. He was very worried that his negligence had caused the casino to lose nearly 1 billion, and he was afraid of being held accountable by the gambling king Stanley Ho.

Seeing that she couldn't appease He Hongshen, Chu Yiren gave him face.

"How about this, my dear uncle? For the 81-02 plot in Suhewan, Jing'an District, Hai City, plus the land you want to build a CitizenM hotel on in Hongqiao District, we, the Truman Group, will withdraw from the bidding and give the land to your Xinde Group."

"But the Qiantan 31-01 plot in Pudong New Area is a strategic commercial land that our Truman Group must compete for. I'm sorry that I can't convince the group's board members to give up the bid for the land."

He Hongshen was overjoyed after hearing this, and laughed loudly, "Thank you, my dear granddaughter, for giving me this honor. After our Shun Tak Group successfully enters the mainland real estate industry, I hope that your Truman Group can take care of us!"

Chu Yiren was also a person who never suffered a loss, so she took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, our Truman Group also happens to want to invest in some real estate projects in Xiangshan'ao, and we hope to actively cooperate with your Shun Tak Group so that we can make money together."

He Hongshen said in a falsely generous manner: "How about you invest in some of my casino business, my dear granddaughter?"

"Uncle, you know that our Chu family has an ancestral precept not to gamble, and family rules do not allow us to invest in businesses involving gambling. Aren't you just making empty promises to me?"

He Hongshen smiled and teased, "Since your Chu family has an ancestral precept not to gamble, why did you come to my casino today and win nearly 10 billion?"

Chu Yiren took Lin Lang's arm and replied, "How can I be so embarrassed to win so much money from my uncle? My main goal today is to keep you company. All the money I win will go into the pocket of my boyfriend Lin Lang."

"Haha, my dear granddaughter, you are really a smart little girl." He Hongshen seemed to admire Chu Yiren, the junior, very much.

"Well, our Xinde Group is building the Xiangshan Macao Tourism Tower Convention and Entertainment Center this year. This project is a landmark building and tourist attraction, which aims to promote the development of Xiangshan Macao's non-gaming industry. It has certain investment potential and involves cooperation in various businesses such as exhibitions, catering, and sightseeing. Would you like to invest in it, Truman Group?"

"Since it is a non-gambling business project invested by my great uncle, then of course I have to invest and get a piece of the pie." Chu Yiren would not miss any opportunity to make money.

"Okay, that's settled. I'll set up a banquet tonight to entertain my virtuous granddaughter and Mr. Lin. Would my virtuous granddaughter appreciate it?"

Chu Yiren declined politely, "I'm sorry, uncle. I'm only here for tonight and have to fly back to Hai'an early tomorrow morning, so I won't attend the banquet to bother you."

"Whenever you have the chance to go to Yihai, I will do my best to play the role of a good host and treat you, uncle-master, to dinner." Chu Yiren's answer was polite and respectful.

He Hongshen smiled brightly after hearing this, "Okay, okay, next month the 8th is the anniversary of my sister Wanqing's death. I will fly to Haikou to visit her grave and pay my respects. I will then reminisce with my virtuous granddaughter."

Chu Yiren said respectfully: "Although the Third Grandma didn't officially marry into our Chu family, she was buried in our Chu family's ancestral tomb as my Third Grandpa's fiancée, and was included in our Chu family's genealogy."

"Every year on the anniversary of my third grandmother's death, my father would go to pay his respects in person."

"This year, my father passed away unexpectedly. Every year on the anniversary of Third Grandma's death, the younger generation will take over from my father to pay homage to Third Grandma, to show our respect to my Third Grandpa for sacrificing his life for the country and for Third Grandma who remained single for her entire life and remained faithful to him for half a century until she died of illness."

He Hongshen was very relieved after hearing this, "Okay, okay, my dear granddaughter, you are so thoughtful! I am deeply sorry for your father's accidental death."

Chu Yiren said with a little sadness: "On the day of my father's funeral, I saw the wreath of condolences sent by my great uncle."
