Chapter 640: Chapter 633: Gambling God? Isn’t this Lin Yufeng?
Well then...
Where exactly are Ah Jiao and Yan Yan now?
That is a question.
Anyway, they weren’t in the banquet hall.
But this wouldn’t stump Zhang Wei.
Two women, particularly those who came to snag a wealthy man, generally could be found where?
Of course, it would be at the consumer and shopping center!
And aboard the Dongfang Star, there was precisely a Star Shopping Street, lined with Blue Star’s top luxury boutiques.
So, after letting Luo Xiaobu eat and drink his fill, Zhang Wei also took him out of the banquet hall, heading straight for the shopping street.
The shopping street was located in the middle level of the Dongfang Star, the most bustling and lively place within this maritime fortress.
Many attended the departure party, but even more people actually headed straight for the Star Shopping Street after arriving on the Dongfang Star.
After all, at the party, you still have to listen to others speak, and nowadays, many people dislike listening to speeches by famous individuals.
It’s just like when you were a child, standing in the schoolyard listening to the school leaders’ speeches; having grown tired of it from a young age, everyone developed a resistance to it, so no one would like it.
Ah Jiao and Yan Yan felt the same way, even though they heard there was a departure party and even some important figures would be there.
But the desire to shop overpowered their reasoning, and they didn’t go to the banquet hall but headed straight for the shopping center after boarding the ship.
Once they arrived, they were baffled.
The money they brought was far too little, let alone buying anything, just standing inside the shopping center made them feel they weren’t even qualified to breathe.
"Can’t be, a handbag for 150,000?"
"Oh my God, I really like that necklace, but it’s priced at 200,000!"
"Is this dress studded with diamonds? Why does one cost tens of thousands?"
After a round of window-shopping, Ah Jiao and Yan Yan realized they couldn’t even afford a single outfit.
That was truly something...
"If we had known, we should have gone to the banquet hall. At least we could have seen some important people. I heard that Chairman Zhang Tianlong would even give a speech at the departure party!"
"Yeah, if Chairman Zhang Tianlong took a fancy to us, wouldn’t we be completely set?"
Ah Jiao and Yan Yan thought that perhaps Zhang Tianlong might occasionally want to taste the flavor of wildflowers, and that they might have a chance.
But sorry, even if Zhang Tianlong occasionally lost his eyesight, he wouldn’t fancy either of them.
"Ah Jiao, what do we do now?"
Yan Yan hadn’t planned to board the Dongfang Star at the beginning, so she didn’t prepare any travel plans at all, and could only look at her companion.
"I don’t know either..."
Although Ah Jiao got the ship tickets for herself and Yan Yan by PUA-ing Luo Xiaobu, she sat in the shopping street just as clueless.
"Anyway, let’s just wait here for now, maybe we’ll encounter..."
Ah Jiao and Yan Yan began to search for their targets.
"Ah Jiao, how about that man, dressed in a suit and tie, he must be rich, right?"
"You look at him, aside from the suit on his body, what other accessories does he have? See the tan line on his wrist? Clearly, he’s recently pawned his watch, how could such a person be wealthy?"
Yan Yan pointed at a man, but Ah Jiao signaled to Yan Yan that she was mistaken.
The man indeed had no extra accessories on him, and there was a clear white band on his wrist, obviously from wearing a watch for many years. But where was his watch now?
Moreover, after the man came to the shopping street, he also sat in one place, scanning the surroundings, pausing his gaze on some women who were obviously well-dressed.
Ah Jiao knew at first glance that they’d encountered a fellow professional.
This man was also looking for a wealthy woman, probably after pawning his watch, he bought a ship ticket in hopes of finding a rich woman to turn his situation around.
Ah Jiao despised such men.
Though she was also planning to snag a wealthy man, she thoroughly disdained the idea of men seeking rich women to latch onto.
A proper man, yet wanting to live off a woman, despicable!
"Ah Jiao, then what about that one, that man over there? He’s wearing a brand-name watch; he must have money, right?"
"Heh, you just look at him, pacing back and forth in one spot, and constantly checking his watch; obviously, he’s waiting for someone!"
As expected, just as Ah Jiao’s words fell, a woman approached from not far away, and the man gestured to her. Then upon meeting, they embraced and exchanged a light kiss...
"That man’s taken already?" Seeing this scene, Yan Yan was visibly disappointed.
"No, they’re not a couple." But Ah Jiao only glanced once and judged with a professional eye.
"If they were a couple, why wouldn’t they shop together? Why did the man and the woman have to arrange a time to meet up here?"
"Ah Jiao, do you mean..."
"That man must be sneaking out behind his wife’s back for a date with that woman, that woman is his mistress!"
Ah Jiao once again made a judgment about the couple’s situation with professional insight and experience.
"So, what about that one? The one with the arrogant look, walking as if he owns the world, he has to be a wealthy person, right?"
Yan Yan gestured towards a direction, and Ah Jiao followed her gaze.
She saw a man dressed in a white suit and a colorful shirt, cigar in mouth, wearing sunglasses, walking with an arrogant strut.
The man’s appearance naturally attracted the attention of Yan Yan and Ah Jiao in an instant.
"What do you think?"
"Let’s watch a bit longer!"
Ah Jiao didn’t look away, clearly thinking that this man had the capital and was a candidate for a sugar daddy.
As the man walked down the shopping street, quite a few people saw him, smiled, and greeted him.
"Young Master Zheng, you’re here too?"
"Young Master Zheng, haven’t seen you for a while."
"Young Master Zheng, where are you planning to go today? Didn’t you attend the launch party?"
When acquaintances greeted him, the man simply waved his hand and responded coldly.
And his demeanor was what caught the attention of Ah Jiao and Yan Yan.
A rich man, and one with wealth and power!
This Young Master Zheng should be their target!
As Ah Jiao and Yan Yan plotted how to make a connection with Young Master Zheng, and whether they needed to create a beautiful misunderstanding, they saw Zheng pull out his phone and then dial a number.
The phone hadn’t connected when Zheng took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes that appeared somewhat misaligned and asymmetrical.
His gaze wandered around front and back, left and right, which, combined with his looks, made him seem a bit shady.
Soon, the call connected.
Suddenly, Zheng adopted a servile attitude, chuckling into the phone, "Young Master Lin, I’ve just strolled around the shopping center and found quite a few fun places."
"Especially since it connects to the swimming pool. But since the ship has just set sail and we haven’t reached the tropical seas, the weather’s still a bit cold, and there aren’t many people at the pool."
"But don’t worry, Young Master Lin, this ship has everything, and naturally, there is no shortage of beauties. Once I’ve chosen the right ones for you, I’ll bring them to you."
"Young Master Lin, have fun and enjoy yourself!"
After hanging up the call, the sycophantic look on Zheng’s face vanished, and he once again resumed his previous arrogant demeanor.
Although he was the lapdog of the person on the other end of the phone, Young Master Lin, there’s an old saying that goes, "A petty official in front of the prime minister’s gate is still an official."
Young Master Zheng, after all, was doing errands for a big shot, and on account of the big shot’s face, everyone had to give him face.
"Young Master Lin is currently amusing himself at the casino on the ship, who has the time to look for beauties? That’s my job to help him..."
"Excuse me, handsome, the fun places you mentioned just now, is that true?"
Just as he was preparing to scout targets for the big shot, he heard a soft, coquettish voice beside him.
When Zheng turned his head, he saw two women approaching him.
"They look alright, passable..."
This was Zheng’s assessment of the newcomers.
The two women were none other than Ah Jiao and Yan Yan.
Although their looks were not top-notch, by being proactive in throwing themselves at men, they could still score quite a few points.
"Ladies, what’s this about...?"
"Young Master Zheng, we heard everything, and we would really like to meet this Young Master Lin of yours."
Ah Jiao stated their intentions directly.
Although she knew that Young Master Zheng was just a big shot’s lackey, she was even more aware that actually meeting the big shot was very, very difficult.
Typically, to meet a big shot, one had to first connect with their lackeys and then have these subordinate characters help to bridge the connection.
But Zheng was not clueless either, seeing Ah Jiao and her companion cozying up to him and stating their intentions, he understood the two women’s plans.
"Ladies, I’m not going to lie to you, Young Master Lin is a big deal, he’s not someone you can just meet if you want to!"
"Young Master Zheng, please just help us out..."
Ah Jiao’s tone softened as she, along with Yan Yan, each took one of Zheng’s arms.
"Ladies, it seems you really want to meet Young Master Lin?" Zheng raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding.
"Yes, we really, really want to meet Young Master Lin..."
"Hmm, I see, but I need to verify your sincerity first!"
Upon hearing these words, Ah Jiao internally rolled her eyes.
This so-called "verify" seemed to mean sacrificing some charm.
As she pondered, Ah Jiao made eye contact with Yan Yan.
"Young Master Zheng, I really do hope to meet Young Master Lin. As long as you’re willing to help, we’ll do whatever you want~"
"Heh heh heh, alright then, ladies, let’s..."
As a seasoned playboy, Zheng was forthright in his actions, pulling Yan Yan straight into a boutique named "U-Yi-Ku" and heading directly for the changing room.
What followed is not fit to be disclosed to others.
In any case, in less than 5 minutes, Zheng came out, pulling up his pants.
And then Yan Yan followed, looking uninterested.
"Pfft, a three-minute man!"
Yan Yan walked out of the store, spitting into the nearby flower bed, her face full of disdain.
"Hmm, very minimal, but I’ve seen your sincerity," said Zhang. "I believe Young Master Lin will also be delighted to meet you. Follow me, let’s head to the casino and rendezvous with Young Master Lin!"
At that moment, Young Master Zheng was brimming with satisfaction, leading Ah Jiao and Yan Yan straight to another entertainment venue inside.
Ah Jiao and Yan Yan exchanged glances, and this time, they were genuinely thrilled.
This Young Master Lin, he must be a major figure!
After Ah Jiao, Yan Yan, and Young Master Zheng left, two figures emerged from a shadowy spot.
"Zhang Wei, that’s Ah Jiao, but why did you stop me from taking my revenge?" asked Radish.
"Radish, I originally planned to take you straight to slap that woman, but now, I’ve found something much more interesting," Zhang Wei replied with mischief in his tone.
"But they’re getting away, aren’t they?"
"No worries, we already know their destination. Just head straight there, it’s just a casino, right?"
"But at the casino, what can we possibly do once we’re there?" Radish inquired doubtfully.
Seeing Luo Xiaobu’s question, Zhang Wei’s lips curved into a sly smile.
"Haven’t I told you before?"
"Told me what?"
"I have a nickname, they call me the ’Saint of Gamblers’!"
Luo Xiaobu: "Do you, really? Why haven’t I heard of it?"
...
Dongfang Star.
Apart from the luxurious shops in the shopping center, there’s also a famous casino.
Since the cruise ship will enter international waters in the coming days, beyond the jurisdiction of Dragon Country, gambling aboard during this 15-day holiday period doesn’t count as illegal assembly for gambling.
Moreover, the ship is registered under a foreign cruise company, with a registration outside Dragon Country, keeping it beyond the reach of local laws.
All this reassures the guests that gambling here is both reasonable and lawful.
And for this reason, many wealthy individuals take the chance to gamble when they travel on international cruises.
There’s a saying: small gambling is for pleasure, heavy gambling can harm.
If one can control the extent of their gambling, it’s actually not a problem at all.
But many people simply can’t control themselves.
The casino at that moment was bustling with noise and excitement.
The casino was vast, offering an array of games like slot machines, baccarat, pachinko, poker cards, dice, mahjong—you name it.
And at the casino’s very center was a poker table specially reserved for the wealthiest clients.
The game being played at the table was the most popular in poker games: "All-in."
Anyone who’s seen the films "Saint of Gamblers", "Gambling Hero", or "Saint of Gamblers" knows why this poker game perennially makes an appearance—it’s considered essential by gamblers worldwide.
When Young Master Zheng arrived at the casino with Ah Jiao and Yan Yan and reached the center,
Young Master Lin was in the midst of a crucial game.
Young Master Lin was none other than Lin Yufeng.
At that moment, Lin Yufeng was facing off against another woman at the table.
The woman was decked out in gold and jewels, exuding wealth, clearly a wealthy and distinguished lady.
"Young Master Lin of the Lin Family, I have a pair of Aces, and you only have a pair of fives. Just give up!" the lady declared as she gestured at her own hand.
Her cards included the Ace of Hearts, the Club Ace, the Diamond Three, the Heart Two, and one more card face-down.
On Lin Yufeng’s side, his cards were the King of Hearts, the Club Ten, the Spade Five, the Diamond Five, and one card face-down.
The woman was confident with her pair of Aces as Lin Yufeng scowled in silence.
"So, you won’t give up?"
Seeing his reaction, the lady scoffed, "If your father, Lin Xiangtian, were here, I might give him some face. But your father isn’t here, so don’t blame me!"
With that, she flipped her face-down card, which turned out to be the Spade Two.
"A pair of Aces and a pair of Twos—I’ve got two pair!"
The woman indeed had two pair, overwhelmingly dominating Lin Yufeng, who seemed to just have a single pair of fives.
The chips on the table were piled high, obviously a substantial amount of money at stake.
Even Lin Yufeng would be hard-pressed to explain such a loss.
"Madame Cheng, while you are impressive, I, Lin Yufeng, didn’t reach my position solely through my father!" he said sharply.
Lin Yufeng, too, flipped his face-down card over.
His face-down card was a Club Five.
With that card revealed, Lin Yufeng’s hand transformed into a set of three fives.
Under the rules of All-in, a straight flush > four of a kind > full house > flush > straight > three of a kind > two pair > one pair > high card.
Three of a kind beats two pair!
"How can this be!"
The noblewoman couldn’t believe it—she had lost with her two pairs to Lin Yufeng’s three of a kind!
"Young Master Lin’s three of a kind wins!"
The dealer, seeing this, also announced the results publicly.
Instantly, the audience all erupted into applause, while Lin Yufeng very much enjoyed the moment.
"Madame Cheng, I’ll happily accept these chips!"
Lin Yufeng spread his arms and gathered the chips into his embrace, his face sporting an incredibly smug smile.
Upon witnessing this, the noblewoman huffed coldly and immediately turned to leave the table.
"This round goes to Young Master Lin!"
The casino staff member by the gambling table even made the announcement again, giving Lin Yufeng another moment to bask in the limelight.
By the side.
Young Master Zheng’s face lit up upon seeing this scene.
Because Young Master Lin had won money, which meant he was in a good mood. Approaching him now would definitely lead to greater benefits.
"Alright, you two, come with me!"
Ah Jiao and Yan Yan were immediately excited because they recognized who Young Master Lin was.
The young owner of Dongfang Capital Law Firm, son of Lin Xiangtian, the big boss of Jincheng Law Firm, and one of the top young elites of Dongfang Capital.
This person could truly be described as from a distinguished family background with a considerable fortune—definitely a big shot whom Ah Jiao and Yan Yan wouldn’t even dare to dream of coming into contact with in the past.
"Young Master Lin, I’ve brought you beauties!"
Lin Yufeng, in high spirits, turned around promptly upon hearing Young Master Zheng’s words.
Truth be told, he was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw Ah Jiao and Yan Yan.
Such vulgar and garish women dared to call themselves beauties?
But having just won money and earned enough face, he wasn’t as picky as he might have been otherwise.
"Hmm, Zheng, have them come over!"
"Sure thing!" Young Master Zheng complied, signaling to Ah Jiao and Yan Yan.
In fact, without Young Master Zheng’s gesture, Ah Jiao and Yan Yan were already sticking close to Lin Yufeng.
"Zheng, catch!"
A chip worth a hundred thousand was tossed over by Lin Yufeng, and upon catching it, Young Master Zheng’s face was filled with delight.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin, thank you," he said.
Lin Yufeng naturally had no intention of engaging him further, instead instructing Ah Jiao and Yan Yan, "Go, bring two chairs over and sit beside me!"
Ah Jiao and Yan Yan hurried to bring over two chairs and sat beside Lin Yufeng.
He naturally began to wrap his arms around both Ah Jiao and Yan Yan, and his hands started to wander.
"Young Master Lin, you’re so naughty~"
Although Ah Jiao said ’naughty,’ her expression showed she was thoroughly enjoying it.
"Sly vixen!" Seeing this, Lin Yufeng could tell at a glance what kind of woman she was.
But his mood was good at the moment, so he wasn’t too picky.
If it weren’t for the crowd and the fact that this was a casino, he might have already started undressing.
Meanwhile, in an unnoticed corner of the casino, Zhang Wei, accompanied by Luo Xiaobu, also arrived.
"Wow, isn’t that Young Master Lin? Someone familiar!"
Zhang Wei was astonished when he saw Lin Yufeng in the midst of the action.
But then, he noticed Luo Xiaobu standing still, staring at the scene with a painful and unwilling expression on his face.
"Radish, take heart!"
Zhang Wei could only offer words of comfort, knowing that in Radish’s mind, Ah Jiao probably still seemed like his date.
But seeing one’s own date cozy up to another man—any man who cherishes pure love would surely find it unbearable.
Except for the Niu Head Party!
"Radish, do you want to take revenge?"
"Yes, I want revenge!"
"Alright then, we’ll do this and that, and then later I’ll do this and that..."
Zhang Wei pulled Luo Xiaobu aside and they began conspiring in the corner. Soon enough, they had hatched a plan for revenge.
At that moment, at the central gaming table, Lin Yufeng was awaiting an opponent.
After all, in the previous round, he had won money from almost all the gamblers, and now, having lost all their chips, no one else could continue to place bets.
"Is this what it means to be unbeatable, the loneliness of a master..."
Lin Yufeng mused, looking around at the same time.
Unbeatable, how lonely it was.
"Hey, if it isn’t Lin Yufeng?"
But just then, a discordant voice rang out.
