Chapter 50 : When gambling goes on (below)
Huang Bowen led the group into a room at the easternmost end of the corridor. When he pushed open the door, a gust of cold air rushed towards him. Tang Guobin, who was walking at the front, could not help but shrink his neck. Then, he shouted and cursed.
"F * ck, which cold-blooded animal turned on the air conditioner? Why don't you just hide in the corpse cabinet?"
Xu Qing chimed in from behind."It's freezing here, let alone gambling." A pair of eyes quickly sized up the situation inside.
There was a luxurious hall that was more than a hundred square meters. The floor was covered with a dark red carpet. In the center was a long gambling table with printed velvet on it. There were two mahogany chairs at each end. Bai Shengjun and Fang Piaopiao sat on two rows of leather sofas when they entered. The cold-faced man who came with them sat on the chair beside the gambling table.
Two waitresses in short skirts stood at the corner of the sofa, and a middle-aged dealer in white gloves stood beside the gambling table. Perhaps it was because the temperature of the air conditioner was too low, the lips of the two waitresses were trembling.
At least ten pinhole cameras were found on the ceiling above the gambling table and at the edge of the ceiling. They were watching every move on the gambling table in all directions. This also made Xu Qing speechless. It seemed that it was impossible for someone to play tricks on the gambling table. This also gave him confidence that he would win.
Meng Shicheng frowned and said unhappily,"Old Huang, when you came here, you kept saying that it was absolutely fair. What are you playing now?" Even if you win money, you still want our brother to take medicine, right?"
Huang Bowen lost face. He thought to himself, What do I know? This was most likely a trick played by his grandson surnamed Bai. This father was aggrieved!
Huang Bowen strode into the Meteor Hall and reprimanded the two waiters who were shivering with cold."What's going on? Hurry up and turn up the temperature."
A waiter timidly said,"It's the customer's request. We can't do anything about it!"
Tang Guobin said mockingly,"Some guests are butterflies. Don't follow suit. You must resolutely resist them."
"Butterfly?" The waiter looked confused and his eyes inadvertently flashed towards the cold-faced man sitting in front of the gambling table.
Tang Guobin nodded seriously."Butterflies are insects when they are young. When they grow up, they grow wings. What is this called complete BT?"
The cold-faced man beside the gambling table turned around and looked at Tang Guobin. Two cold lights flashed and disappeared. Bai Shengjun smiled coldly and stood up. He walked to Meng Shicheng and put on a humble smile.
"Boss Meng, we're here for fun today. There's no need to waste everyone's time over such a small matter. I wonder if you're interested in gambling?"
Meng Shicheng glanced at the man beside the gambling table and said,"Boss Bai wants to bet with me personally?"
Bai Shengjun gnashed his teeth in hatred. A fake smile appeared on his face."I don't know how to gamble. However, in order for Boss Meng to have fun, I'll ask him to gamble for me."
Meng Shicheng shook his head and said seriously,"I'm sorry. I don't know how to gamble either. If you don't believe me, you can ask Piaopiao."
Bai Shengjun was choked speechless. He didn't expect the other party to act according to common sense at all. He felt like he couldn't punch cotton and could only turn his gaze to Huang Bowen.
At this time, another waiter had already raised the temperature. Huang Bowen then whispered,"Old Meng, if you don't know how to bet, you can ask someone to bet on your behalf!" After saying that, he even gave a subtle look.
Meng Shicheng acted as if he could not do it."Since that's the case, let my brother go over and play a few rounds. What do you think, Boss Bai?"
Bai Shengjun nodded quickly and smiled."Alright, then we'll act as spectators and enjoy the exciting gambling." After saying that, Meng Shicheng extended his palm and made a welcoming gesture. He walked straight to Fang Piaopiao and sat down.
Tang Guobin patted Xu Qing's shoulder and whispered,"Qingzi, let go of your game. You lost until he pulled his pants."
Xu Qing nodded and slowly walked to the gambling table. He sat down with a large golden knife in front of him. He picked up a small pile of chips and played with them.
The cold-faced man said expressionlessly,"Die, poker, you decide!"
This fellow was extremely careful with his words. A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes, as if he did not regard Xu Qing as a match at all.
"How do you play dice?" Xu Qing looked at the middle-aged dealer, still playing with the chip between his fingers.
The dealer smiled."There are three ways to play dice. One is to bet on size, one is to bet on single and double, and the last one is to guess the number of dice. Usually, three or five dice are used..." He opened his palm and used the tip of his palm to point at the patterns on the velvet. The distribution of the various points was dazzling. The traditional characters of single and double size were the most eye-catching.
"Rolling the dice looks interesting. Why don't you roll it and I guess, and then I roll it and you guess. If you guess correctly, you win. We'll only play three rounds."
Xu Qing casually picked up the bell-shaped dice box and took a look. He found that there was a thin layer of flannel inside. This way, even if he shook it, it would not make too much noise. As for whether the other party could guess correctly, it was hard to say.
The cold-faced man's expression changed slightly. This kind of game was the most difficult. Moreover, he had already seen the dice box. The velvet lining inside had seriously affected his hearing. Even if he had received professional training, the chance of guessing correctly would not exceed 50%. He felt that the young man opposite him was somewhat confused. Could the other party be an expert gambler?
"Alright, according to you, three rounds will determine the winner."
"Yes, whoever loses will get the money."
The dealer was a little confused when he heard the conversation between the two. This was the first time he had encountered such a gambling method in the past ten years. He originally thought that this gambling method would only appear in movies. Could it be that there was really someone in reality who could tell the points by listening to dice? Even he couldn't help but feel excited at the thought.
Meng Shicheng and Tang Guobin looked at each other, and there was a hint of shock in their eyes. This kid was too reckless. Could it be that he wanted to lose all the chips in his hand and run downstairs to eat as soon as possible?
"The two of you have five million chips in front of you each. Who will roll the dice first?"
Xu Qing pushed forward all the chips in front of him and said,"It's agreed. He shakes my guess."
The cold-faced man's pupils contracted. If he can't guess that all the chips are mine, this arrogant kid really thinks he's a gambling saint. Just wait to get the money!
Da da da!
The cold-faced man placed the three dice into the box, then covered the base. He shook his arms rapidly, and the dice hit the velvet cloth, producing a series of fine clashing sounds.
Xu Qing didn't even look at the other party shaking the dice. Instead, he turned around and winked at Tang and Meng.
"F * ck!"
Tang Guobin pointed his middle finger rudely. Meng Shicheng shook his head with a bitter smile. He secretly made up his mind to leave after losing the five million yuan for free. No matter how much money he lost, he wouldn't be able to lose!
