Chapter 648 - 640: Confident Lin Yufeng, Will Zhang Wei Really Lose?

Chapter 648: Chapter 640: Confident Lin Yufeng, Will Zhang Wei Really Lose?

When Zhang Wei had had enough of the wind on the deck and was about to head back inside.

His seat hadn’t even warmed up when he encountered a challenger.

"Zhang Wei, I challenge you!"

The Fortune-Bringer, Lin Yufeng, who suffered a loss a few days ago, had appeared again.

"You guys go sit over there, I have some words to exchange with Young Master Lin!"

After directing Xia Qianyue and the others to take a seat to the side, Zhang Wei turned to face Lin Yufeng.

"Young Master Lin, are you dumb, ready to give me money again?"

"Zhang Wei, don’t be so arrogant. This time I will definitely win against you!"

Facing Zhang Wei, Lin Yufeng’s tone weakened at once, but he still forcibly mustered some spirit.

"Are you sure? Why should I even gamble with you?"

Zhang Wei simply spread his hands, "I’ve already qualified for the Charity Gambling King competition. Isn’t it a waste of time to gamble with you?"

"What I’m gambling for is that qualification. If you lose to me, you’ll have to forfeit it!"

This time, Lin Yufeng seemed to have found his confidence, and with a sneer, he said, "You have to gamble today whether you like it or not!"

"Wow, you’re so full of yourself. Sure that I will gamble with you?"

"It’s not that I’m sure you’ll accept, but it’s the rules. Even if you’ve earned the qualification, you must accept one challenge. This challenge can’t be refused!"

"Is there such a rule? I don’t recall Fatty Lin mentioning it, did he?"

"Yes, the rule was recently added by Councilor Head Zhang, specifically to deal with you."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei was speechless.

The Five Great Families, they have privileges, huh? To make me lose the qualification, they simply amended the rules.

But if they really wanted to change the rules, they should have sent someone more formidable, not Lin Yufeng.

How capable this guy is, can’t Fatty Lin see that?

"Alright, Young Master Lin, since you like it, I don’t mind."

Since he had to accept a challenge anyway, Zhang Wei figured it was better to deal with a familiar opponent like Lin Yufeng than to let someone unknown come at him.

At least when it came to Lin Yufeng, Zhang Wei was well aware of his capabilities.

"Good. I’ll show you that the dignity of the Lin Family is not to be trifled with!"

Lin Yufeng led Zhang Wei back to the place where they had battled a few days earlier.

"Move aside, I’m challenging Zhang Wei again!"

The gamblers who were previously occupied with high stakes at the table saw Lin Yufeng’s imposing manner and subconsciously cleared a spot for him.

"Zhang Wei, this time I continue to challenge you to All-in!"

"Whatever the bet, as long as you’re happy."

The two sat down, the dealer began shuffling cards, and the audience around them also raised their heads to watch the confrontation.

On the side, Xia Qian and her group took their seats.

Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying, who were originally hiding in the background, now came forward as if having found companions and joined up with Xia Qian’s group.

"Why does Zhang Wei have to gamble again?"

Xiao Baihe, confused, looked at the center of the scene.

"Because that Lin Yufeng is challenging him."

Xia Qian simply responded with indifference, her focus all on the center.

"Challenge, I remember a few days ago it seems like..."

It then dawned on Xiao Baihe that her dormmate, reporter Xiao Xie, had mentioned Lin Yufeng lost to Zhang Wei and lost a lot of money in the process.

It seemed Young Master Lin was intent on seeking retaliation.

"Can Zhang Wei win?"

"I believe in him!"

Xiao Baihe felt that Xia Qian might be a bit blindly confident.

"Speaking of which, gambling on a Dragon Country ship, isn’t that a bit..."

"Don’t you know?"

However, Xiao Baihe’s thought was interrupted by Zhao Xiao Xiao.

"This ship, it’s not really Dragon Country’s, but it’s registered under a foreign cruise company. Although the cruise company’s major shareholder is a consortium from Dongfang Capital, so you could say it’s Dragon Country’s ship if you want."

Zhao Xiao Xiao seemed to be aware of Xiao Baihe’s doubts; in many places of Dragon Country, gambling is actually illegal.

Even if you were out of Dragon Country’s jurisdiction, undertaking illegal activities on a ship belonging to Dragon Country could still be subject to maritime governance and the laws of the ship’s country of registration.

But if the ship isn’t Dragon Country’s, then there is no such concern.

The Dongfang Star, while constructed in Dongfang Capital and crewed by many from Dragon Country, was registered to a company based abroad.

This neatly avoided the legal issues of gambling on board, something the Five Great Families had also taken into account, ensuring no opportunity for legal loopholes.

With this new understanding, Xiao Baihe decided not to quibble further.

After sitting down with Tan Yingying, they decided to just enjoy the show.

After all, she definitely couldn’t participate in the gamble, so being a bystander was quite alright.

Watching the drama, just watching...

Wait, no, watching the show, watching the show!

In the center.

The dealer had already dealt cards for both players.

The cards were as follows.

Lin Yufeng: Heart 10 + hole card

Zhang Wei: Club 5 + hole card

Neither of them looked at their cards, and Lin Yufeng’s cards were bigger, so he spoke first.

"Zhang Wei, you only have half of what I’ve got!"

"Young Master Lin, you have the bigger hand, so you do the talking."

Lin Yufeng chuckled, "Today, I’m going to win your 100 million and completely strip you of your qualifications!"

"Young Master Lin, what are you talking about? Isn’t that 100 million yours? Didn’t you lend me 90 million just a few days ago? Have you forgotten?"

"Damn!"

Hearing Zhang Wei’s sarcasm, Lin Yufeng finally couldn’t keep his composure.

He never expected Zhang Wei to still have such a sharp tongue; just a few words had stirred up a fiery rage in his chest.

But indeed, as Zhang Wei said, those 90 million had indeed come from him.

"Alright then, 10 million!"

Lin Yufeng threw out 10 million in chips directly.

Zhang Wei glanced at his side, "It seems I forgot to prepare my chips."

"No worries, I’ve already prepared them for you!"

As soon as Lin Yufeng finished speaking, a female waiter, holding a tray of one billion chips, arrived in front of Zhang Wei.

"Mr. Zhang Wei, here are your one billion chips!"

Seeing the additional chips in front of him, Zhang Wei’s brows furrowed slightly.

This Lin Yufeng, he really came with a vengeance today.

"Alright, I’ll call."

As he spoke, he also decisively threw in 10 million.

The dealer continued to deal cards.

Lin Yufeng received a Diamond 8, while Zhang Wei got a Club 3.

This time, because Zhang Wei had a pair, and Lin Yufeng had a mixed hand, it was Zhang Wei’s turn to speak.

"Continue dealing."

Zhang Wei didn’t raise, and Lin Yufeng made no declaration.

The dealer continued.

Lin Yufeng got a Club 9, while Zhang Wei received a Heart 2.

"Looks like you don’t have a flush, huh!"

The situation reversed, with Lin Yufeng having the bigger hand, and Zhang Wei, due to adding a mixed 2, no longer had a pair.

"I raise 5 million, betting that you can’t beat me this hand!"

"I’ll call."

Zhang Wei nodded at the dealer, who then continued dealing cards.

The final card arrived, with the following hands.

Lin Yufeng: Heart 10, Diamond 8, Club 9, Spade 7 + hole card

Zhang Wei: Club 5, Club 3, Heart 2, Heart 6 + hole card

Lin Yufeng glanced over the hands, seeming to have an idea.

"It looks like both of us have a chance of getting a straight today!"

"Young Master Lin, aren’t you going to look at your hole card?"

Zhang Wei also looked at Lin Yufeng, having the impression that his opponent was very confident today.

"I am raising another 5 million, making it 20 million betting that your hand isn’t as big as mine!"

Lin Yufeng was indeed very confident, raising without even looking at his hole card.

This time, it was Zhang Wei’s turn to frown.

He pushed his upcard and hole card closely together, then carefully started to flip over and check his hole card.

The card didn’t reveal a point, instead showing a rounded top, indicating it wasn’t a 4, and was likely a 2 or a Q.

"Young Master Lin, you’re good, I’ll let you have this hand. I can afford to lose 15 million."

Zhang Wei decisively folded, not going to call the 20 million.

"Hahaha, you, Zhang Wei, are nothing special after all!"

Lin Yufeng sneered and directly flipped over his hole card; it turned out to be a Heart Ace.

His hand was actually a mixed one, with the biggest card being the Heart Ace.

"Zhang Wei, I bluffed you with just a mixed hand, an Ace, and you fell for it, hilarious."

"Not at all, not at all, Young Master Lin. You didn’t bluff me; I genuinely didn’t have a big hand."

Zhang Wei also revealed his hole card, indeed a Diamond Q.

He, too, had a mixed hand, and his biggest card, a Q, was smaller than an A.

A mixed hand is the most common in an all-in game, and often many people gamble in all-in comparing the largest card of mixed hands.

Scenarios like the one where Zhang Wei won against Lin Yufeng, receiving big cards in succession, are actually very rare.

And so, Zhang Wei’s chips instantly dropped from 100 million to 85 million.

After Lin Yufeng won a hand against Zhang Wei, he was incredibly smug, unable to contain the grin on his face.

"Zhang Wei, do you want to continue? If you admit defeat now, you can still scrape together 15 million. You might even regain eligibility!"

"Young Master Lin, you’re right, I should indeed call it quits. I can afford the 15 million!"

Seeing Lin Yufeng’s provocation, Zhang Wei decisively agreed to it and was about to take his chips and leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I was joking, put the chips down! Hey, hey, hey, what, you think you can just walk away after you lose?"

When Lin Yufeng saw Zhang Wei planning to leave, he finally panicked.

"What’s the matter, Young Master Lin, are you scared?"

Zhang Wei put down the chips he was holding and couldn’t resist taunting him.

You’re just putting on airs, do you really think I can’t handle you?

Seeing Zhang Wei put the chips back, Lin Yufeng finally stopped panicking.

To be honest, if Zhang Wei really left, his plan to defeat Zhang Wei would be aborted.

This won’t do!

His goal today was to show everyone that Lin Yufeng wasn’t afraid of Zhang Wei and could defeat him!

I, Lin Yufeng, am stronger than Zhang Wei!

If Zhang Wei really left, he would’ve been devastated.

"Zhang Wei, shall we continue then?"

"Yes, Young Master Lin, let’s continue."

Hearing Zhang Wei say this, Lin Yufeng smiled again.

However, just to be safe, he didn’t continue to mock him, fearing Zhang Wei might leave.

As long as you don’t leave, the advantage is on my side.

The reason Lin Yufeng was so confident was that around the casino, he had preparations in place.

His gaze unconsciously glanced behind Zhang Wei, at the female Waiter who had just delivered chips.

After delivering the chips, the Waiter stood still like a wooden stake about four meters behind Zhang Wei.

Her task was to observe Zhang Wei’s hole cards, but this job was not easy.

Because from a previous game, Lin Yufeng knew that Zhang Wei wouldn’t easily reveal his hole cards, to the extent that even the nearby Luo Xiaobu couldn’t see Zhang Wei’s hole cards.

So, the Waiter was just Lin Yufeng’s opening move, but he had a second step planned.

Thinking this, he glanced at the dealer, their eyes briefly meeting.

This dealer was also his man, and more importantly, a professional cheat!

For an excellent cheat, the cards in their hands are their breadwinners.

Giving someone an advantage during a game was not impossible to achieve.

Of course, to keep things discreet, he hadn’t dealt Zhang Wei and Lin Yufeng any significant cards in the first hand but rather a bunch of random cards for them to compare sizes.

However, ’comparing sizes’ under the manipulation of this expert would undoubtedly tilt in favor of Lin Yufeng.

For random cards, winning or losing is a common occurrence and wouldn’t raise anyone’s suspicion.

The dealer, who is also a cheat, now made a discreet gesture to Lin Yufeng, lightly tapping the table with his right pinky finger.

This gesture meant that Lin Yufeng was going to lose this hand and so should only follow with small bets, letting the opponent win a bit.

It’s only natural for there to be wins and losses in a regular gambling game, but if one side keeps winning and the other keeps losing, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

The dealer knew this and naturally reminded Lin Yufeng.

"My goal today is to win your hundred million. To prevent you from detecting any problems midway, I’ll let you win this hand!"

Lin Yufeng looked at Zhang Wei, secretly sneering in his heart.

The Waiter can see your hole cards, and the dealer is my person. I really can’t see how I could lose to you today, Zhang Wei.

"Let’s continue!"

Soon, the second round began.

In this hand, the cards favored Zhang Wei, and his hole cards were better, so he started by calling five million, which Lin Yufeng followed.

After the second community card, Zhang Wei raised by one million, Lin Yufeng hesitated a moment but still followed.

By the third card, Zhang Wei called to raise another two million; Lin Yufeng looked at his hole cards, hesitated for several seconds, and in the end, still followed.

When the fourth card came, Zhang Wei called a bet of ten million; Lin Yufeng gave up here.

As a result, Zhang Wei won back eight million, bringing his principal to 93 million.

Seeing Zhang Wei win back eight million, Lin Yufeng’s face turned extremely "ugly."

"Continue, let’s see how long you can stay cocky!"

Lin Yufeng said, speaking to the dealer while glancing at the dealer’s hand.

This time, the dealer’s index finger on his right hand lightly tapped the table.

Lin Yufeng saw this and felt reassured.

In this round, Lin Yufeng had the upper hand from the start, and his hand remained the strongest throughout.

In the end, Zhang Wei, knowing he was outmatched, reluctantly gave up but lost another 13 million, bringing his principal down to 80 million.

Lin Yufeng was delighted and made a few jibes at Zhang Wei.

Unfortunately for him, Zhang Wei’s mindset was excellent, unflustered by the setback.

And this time, the dealer made a gesture with both his middle and ring fingers, lightly tapping the table with each.

Seeing this scene, a cold smirk formed on the corner of Lin Yufeng’s mouth.

This round, the dealer would give both sides almost equally strong cards, even giving Zhang Wei a slightly better chance of winning in the end.

But that was only temporary, because the ultimate winner would be him, Lin Yufeng.

"Deal the cards!"

The fourth round began, and the dealer started dealing cards, with both players’ hands as follows.

Lin Yufeng: Club 3 + hole card

Zhang Wei: Heart Ace + hole card

"Wow, you’ve got a pretty big card there!"

Seeing Zhang Wei’s Ace, Lin Yufeng couldn’t help but exclaim in "surprise."

Zhang Wei’s face was expressionless, and he didn’t even look at his hole card, directly pushing out 10 million in chips.

Lin Yufeng, seeing this, couldn’t hold back.

"Zhang Wei, feeling confident?"

"So, Young Master Lin, are you going to follow or not?"

Lin Yufeng picked up his chips, counted a bit, and then threw out 10 million directly.

Seeing this, the dealer continued to deal cards.

Suddenly, the board changed.

Lin Yufeng: hole card, Club 3, Heart King, Diamond 3

Zhang Wei: hole card, Heart Ace, Club King, Diamond King

Zhang Wei’s hand was a pair of Kings, while Lin Yufeng’s was a pair of 3s.

"This hand looks like you’ve got a big advantage!"

Lin Yufeng taunted again, and Zhang Wei responded by raising the bet again, a total of 20 million in chips.

Naturally, Lin Yufeng did not give up, and after pretending to hesitate for a bit, he still chose to call the bet.

The final card was dealt; the dealer gave Lin Yufeng an Ace of Clubs and Zhang Wei a Heart 2.

"Looks like my hand’s just a pair of 3s, Lawyer Zhang, you’re going to win this round!"

"Young Master Lin, if my hand is big, that’s pretty much it. I’m just short of 20 million in chips. Winning it would be just right."

After Zhang Wei spoke, he was about to reveal his hand.

"Wait, I raise 10 million; I raise you by 10 million!"

But then, Lin Yufeng suddenly raised the bet.

"You raise with a pair of 3s?" Seeing Lin Yufeng’s expression, Zhang Wei was taken aback.

"Of course, even if I just have a pair of 3s, I will still raise you by 10 million. It’s more thrilling that way!"

"But you haven’t looked at your hole card, have you?"

"Isn’t it more exciting not to look at the hole card?"

Seeing Lin Yufeng so confident, Zhang Wei was stunned for a long time but eventually took out 10 million in chips from his stack.

He called the bet.

"Impressive, Lawyer Zhang, you really weren’t intimidated by me, well done!"

"Young Master Lin, I don’t believe your hand is bigger than mine!"

Zhang Wei said this and directly flipped over his hole card, which was a Spade Ace.

With this, his hand became Spade Ace, Heart Ace, Club King, Diamond King, Heart 2

"I have two pairs, Kings and Aces. If your hand wasn’t big, you wouldn’t have followed me this long. But if your hand is big, the best you could have would be two pairs, Aces and 3s, which wouldn’t beat me!"

Zhang Wei’s analysis was obviously without logical errors; Lin Yufeng’s hole card couldn’t possibly be a 3 since he had confidently followed all this time, likely being a King or an Ace, which had given him the courage.

No matter whether it was a King or an Ace, at most it would make two pairs, with one pair being 3s, which could hardly be an opponent to Zhang Wei’s Kings and Aces.

"Hahaha, who would’ve thought there’d be a day when I, Lin Yufeng, would be underestimated!"

This time Lin Yufeng wasn’t sneering, but laughing up to the sky.

As he spoke, he also flipped over his hole card.

This hole card was unexpectedly a Spade 3.

At this, Lin Yufeng’s hand was: Spade 3, Club 3, Heart King, Diamond 3, Club Ace

"Sorry, Zhang Wei, but I have three of a kind, 3s!"

With the reveal of this 3, there was an uproar all around.

Everyone had not at all expected Lin Yufeng’s hand to be three of a kind, which actually beat Zhang Wei’s invincible two pairs.

"This, this can’t be possible..."

Zhang Wei was stunned at this scene and then collapsed in his seat.

"How could it not be possible, today I’m going to completely strip you of your qualifications!"

Lin Yufeng said, and gathered all the chips on the table into his arms.

After this round, Zhang Wei had lost 30 million, and from a billion in chips, only 50 million was left.

"Zhang Wei, if you want to leave now, there’s still time. However, with only 50 million in chips left, it might not be enough to participate in the charity championship!"

At this very moment, with the upper hand, Lin Yufeng began to taunt.

And Zhang Wei, as if he still hadn’t snapped back from the shock of defeat, sat blankly in his original seat for a long time.

And his inability to accept defeat also caused those beside him such as Xiao Baihe and Xia Qianyue, all to feel their hearts tightening.

Could it be, Zhang Wei was about to crash?
