Chapter 47: Who Outwitted Whom

  The beautiful dealer nodded and began to collect the one billion chips handed over by Li Yang. Although she looked calm, her heart was extremely tense.

  The money she won from the gambling session, one percent of it is her commission. She has already won 100 million yuan for Lai Yang, and if she wins another 100 million now, her commission would be 2 million, which is roughly equivalent to her total income for five years of work!

  All she needs to do is press the remote control in her hand lightly, and it's incredibly easy!

  She took a billion chips from Lai Yang, and then she pulled out the remote control from her pocket and gently pressed a red button. As soon as this button was pressed, the plastic ball in the next round of betting would definitely stop at zero, which was the banker's kill switch, unless the gambler had bet on zero, otherwise it was a must-lose situation!

  After pressing this button, the croupier let out a gentle breath and smiled at the gamblers in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, the young man in front of you has bet 100 million! This is the largest stake in one round since our casino opened. Don't you want to follow this lucky guy's lead and make a big bet? This is a rare opportunity, after all. Whether you win or lose, you'll have something to brag about when you get home! Seize the moment, place your bets quickly!"

  The official finished speaking, narrowed her eyes and looked greedily at the gamblers in front of her. To her, these people were all lambs to be slaughtered, and she was sharpening her knife, ready to bleed them one by one!

  "Haha, I'll put up 10,000, betting on doubles! When I get back, I'll have something to brag about. Just say that the kid who gambled with me bet a billion in one round!" The man with the golden glasses shouted wildly.

  He took the lead, and the gamblers next to him quickly placed their bets. They were willing to bask in the glory of such a bold bet. However, what made Lei Yang feel annoyed was that although these people were betting wildly, they all deliberately avoided the mysterious number six that he had pressed.

  After all, he had just lost 100 million because of this number, giving these gamblers a very unpleasant feeling. This number seemed to be very unlucky, and these old-timers in the casino were very superstitious, unwilling to get close to Li Yang who was now considered to be bad luck.

  The official was just about to announce the start of the gambling session when someone suddenly shouted loudly, "Wait a minute, you don't accept game coins? I have 1,800 yuan worth of game coins here."

  "Little brother, the minimum bet here is 100 yuan in chips. Your game coins can't be used directly for betting, please exchange them for chips at the front desk first and then come back to place your bets." The croupier said politely.

  Li Yang took a look at this person and recognized him, it was that small-eyed panda he had just met when he came in.

  "Panda Eyes said with a gloomy face: 'Alright, you guys wait for a moment, I'll change some money and place my bets before starting the machine.' After finishing speaking, he carried the plastic basket and was about to leave."

  "Sorry little brother, we're about to start this round, you'd better wait for the next one to gamble!" The croupier said impatiently.

  "No! I'm going to bet on this round! I've already lost the house and over 2 million yuan in front of and behind your casino, now I only have a little over 10,000 yuan left. You guys should at least give me a chance to participate in this billion-yuan high-stakes gamble!" Panda Eye roared, his hands grasping the roulette table.

  "Security, take this troublemaker away and let him know that speaking harshly in our casino has no good consequences!" The dealer still wore a smile on his face, but the words were filled with murderous intent.

  It seems she has seen such things many times and is no longer surprised.

  Two tall and sturdy security guards in black suits were about to step forward and grab someone, but Li Yang was unwilling.

  "Hold on, if he wants to bet, let him bet. If you're not going to accept his bet, then I won't bet either." Li Yang casually placed the red wine in his hand on the betting table in front of him, a hint of anger on his face.

  The customs officer was shocked, if he didn't gamble, this 100 million would be gone!

  She exchanged glances with Yin Tianlong beside her, and Yin Tianlong naturally understood the weight of this. He shouted loudly: "Someone come! Quickly bring a 1800 yuan chip!"

  With a single order, in less than twenty seconds, a waiter brought up eighteen one-hundred-yuan chips and handed them to Xiongmao.

  The croupier was just about to count the coins in front of Xiong Mao Yan when he was stopped by Yin Tian Long, who knew clearly that this round would definitely be a sweep for the banker, no matter how much would go into his own pocket, and let the gambling session start as soon as possible.

  "I'm betting all 1800 on number six!" The panda's eyes blazed with excitement as he poured the chips from the tray onto the gaming table. The croupier, with a forced smile, raked in the chips and announced the start of the game.

  The roulette wheel was spun by the croupier, and the plastic ball inside rotated rapidly. The gamblers around all stared with wide eyes, silently reciting the numbers they had bet on.

  Liyang didn't care about the outcome of the gamble, the mining ship was in sync with his mind, and he could get out whatever number he wanted, so he had already won this round from the start, and his heart became lighter instead.

  He noticed that the panda next to him also had a relaxed expression, and curiously asked: "Hey, I say, how come you're following me with the same number? Aren't you afraid of losing big time?"

  Panda glanced at him and said: "I originally thought I was already very mixed, but you are even more mixed than me!"

  I lost 2 million and wanted to kill myself, but seeing you lose 100 million in a short time, this time losing another 100 million, only then did I realize that there are heavens beyond the heavens and people beyond people!

  Brother, I've long admired you!

  "We're all in the same boat, a bunch of idiots and good-for-nothings. No one's better than anyone else. Now that I've compared myself to you, I feel much more at peace. Just for that, whatever you bet on, I'll bet on it too!"

  Li Yang said with a mix of anger and amusement: "How do you know I'll definitely lose? Maybe I can win!"

  "Alright, if you win, the casino will have to pay out 3.6 billion to you, but I reckon even if you do win, it'll be tough for you to leave this place." Panda Eye whispered to Li Yang in a low voice.

  That's right, this is a problem!

  Li Yang's expression changed, and he looked at Yin Tianlong beside him with a smile on his face. He deliberately laughed loudly and said: "Tianlong, if I win this time, your company will have to pay me 3.6 billion yuan. Do you think you'll renege on the debt?"

  Yin Tianlong raised his red wine glass and said loudly, "Li Yang, you can rest assured. By now, you should have understood that my family is a mixed one, commonly known as the underworld."

  "Our company's reputation is impeccable, can't you see that the 260 million yuan Zhang Dahu lost in gambling doesn't prove anything? I guarantee here, as long as you win, all 3.6 billion will be given to you without a single cent missing!"

  After saying this, Yin Tianlong was secretly delighted in his heart, thinking that the official had already made arrangements, and you little devil can win? Ha!

  Liyang nodded in satisfaction, saying softly: "Mmm, I believe this. Longteng Company is a big and prosperous business, they won't be unable to pay such a small amount of money, haha, it was just my overthinking."

  The plastic ball slowed down, and Yin Tianlong stared at the small ball while answering casually: "That's it, our Longteng Company is most credible!"

  If we open a casino and don't keep our word, who would dare come and gamble?

  "I guarantee to everyone here, as long as you all have good luck and win the bet, you can take away the money that belongs to you! I, Yin Tianlong, dare to stake our whole family's life... but... I... guarantee... Ah, damn it! This is really freaking me out!"

  Yin Tianlong's last curse was as mournful and soul-stirring as a ghostly wail, enough to summon a few wolves in the wilderness, and they would be female wolves in heat!

  Because he saw a situation that made him collapse, the small ball in the roulette wheel slowed down and finally stopped right on number six!

  The official was no longer calm, the remote control in his pocket had been grabbed by her, and the number zero had been pressed more than ten times! Seeing that it didn't work, she continued to press 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 20, 23, her fingers on the remote control were like playing the piano, pressing non-stop, and could play a symphony of fate, but that damn plastic ball still stubbornly stopped at number six!

  Yin Tianlong's red wine glass fell to the ground with a 'ding' sound, and the blood-red wine spilled all over. He rushed to the gambling table like a madman, staring at the small plastic ball in the roulette wheel, swallowing hard several times.

  "What's wrong with you, how did you let him win?" Yin Tianlong fiercely raised his head and stared at the referee, bellowing: "Don't you want to live anymore?"

  "Yin Gongzi... I... I... the machine seems to be broken... it's really broken!" The official's body trembled as she spoke, and in just a short moment, her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat!

  Yin Tianlong's face twisted in a scowl: "Damn it, why did you have to break down now? I'm going to kill you!"

  Yin Tianlong was about to lose his temper, and Li Yang pulled him back, laughing: "Tianlong, don't get angry, it's bad for your health. Excuse me, where do I go to collect my 3.6 billion?"

  Yin Tianlong suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, his face filled with fear as he said: "Li Yang, didn't you hear what the official said? The machine is broken, let's start again and gamble once more?"

  Liyang hadn't spoken yet, but the Panda Eye next to him was already furious: "Bullshit! I lost for two days and two nights, none of you said the machine was broken. As soon as I won one round, you say it's broken? I don't care if it's broken or not, first pay me the money I won this round!"

  "Thirty-six billion is too much... I... I... Li Yang, can't we slow down a bit? Let's gamble a few more rounds together and clear this up, okay?" Yin Tianlong's six senses were shaken.

  "How can that be okay? With just this one hand, you guys won't even have enough money to pay up. What if I win a few more billion, where am I supposed to go collect the cash?" Lei Yang said with a smirk.

  He said to the surrounding gamblers, "You guys say, is it right that they can only take money when they win, but not give a single penny when they lose?"

  All the gamblers were some masters who feared that the world would not be chaotic, and they shouted in unison: "Give money! Give money! Give money!"

  The situation on the scene is about to get out of control, a group of black-clad security guards surrounded them, but did not dare to take action.

  After all, it's a matter of course for someone who has won a bet to ask for their winnings.

  Lend them a few more guts, they wouldn't dare to commit the greatest injustice in the world, and grab Li Yang under the watchful eyes of everyone. If that's the case, I reckon this casino would also come to an end, and Longteng Company would lose its reputation and close down for good.

  Just as the gamblers' emotions reached a boiling point, Qiao Qian arrived at the scene with an old man in gray clothes and a large group of black-clad security guards.
