Power and Wealth Chapter 1246: Start

Chapter 1246: Start

Midnight.

The casino’s main lobby.

It’s been almost half an hour since the casino opened. People were getting more excited.

Dong Xuebing still has three 1,000 USD chips. He does not know which gamble to play. So he followed Zhang Longjuan to a blackjack table.

The rules of blackjack are simple.

But it is not too easy.

Dong Xuebing thought this game was simple until he saw Zhang Longjuan play a few rounds. He noticed she knew card counting. Although she is not as good as those movies, she could calculate the possibilities. She lost and won a few rounds. However, she still won twenty thousand USD while most players lost.

Five rounds…

Eight rounds…

Most players noticed Zhang Longjuan was an expert and left the table.

Zhang Longjuan stood up after playing a few rounds. She brought Dong Xuebing to the roulette table.

Dong Xuebing looked at the three casino chips in his hand and decided to bet everything on a random number. His thinking was simple. Either he wins big or nothing, and this game depends on luck.

But Zhang Longjuan did not depend on luck. She has techniques when betting. She placed bets on different numbers and colors.

The wheel started spinning.

The small ball started rolling around the wheel and finally stopped on no. 9.

Dong Xuebing bet on no. 26. He lost.

Zhang Longjuan’s bets on the numbers did not win, but she picked the correct color. She still won overall.

“Let me give you some chips.” Zhang Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Did you use up everything?”

“It’s fine.” Dong Xuebing shook his head. “It is a waste to give me the chips.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “You don’t know the techniques and want to win big.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “This is gambling, and luck plays a part. I prefer to bet big and win big. There’s no point in making small bets and winning little.”

Zhang Longjuan said. “That’s why you lost.”

Dong Xuebing smiled and did not explain.

Dong Xuebing admits his gambling skills are far from Zhang Longjuan. They are not on the same level. He does not know how to gamble or understand most game rules. But that does not mean he cannot win money. He had shocked Zhang Longjuan, Shen Xiaomei, and Shen Xiaoyan too many times. He survived after getting knockdown by a truck, his combat skills, dodging bullets, and his sharpshooter skills. He could not explain himself if the twins reported him to their higher-ups. The situation would be worse if he won big at the casino. He would not do anything if Sis Zhang could win herself.

If Zhang Longjuan could not win, he would do something.

Dong Xuebing would try to avoid exposing himself unless he were forced to.

1 am.

Zhang Longjuan was ready.

“Ah, you are Ms. Zhang.” A long hair middle-aged man walked over with a smile.

Zhang Longjuan met him before. “You are?”

That man smiled. “Have you forgotten me? I am Song Yuhu.”

Zhang Longjuan looked at him and smiled. “I remember. It’s been many years, Mr. Song. How are you doing now?”

“Haha… It’s some small businesses that are not worth mentioning.” Song Yuhu looked at her. “I have been wanting to meet you, Ms. Zhang. Do you want to play a few rounds?”

“Sure. But I promised to play with Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng.”

“Mr. Wei? Wei Chenzhi? I met him earlier, and he asked me to play too.”

“Haha… great.”

“Are we going to play the usual game?”

“Sure. Mahjong.”

“They are in VIP room 5. Let’s go.”

Song Yuhu led the way and did not continue to speak with Zhang Longjuan.

Dong Xuebing whispered. “Who is he? He seemed hostile.”

Zhang Longjuan replied softly. “I almost forgot about him until he mentioned his name. I met him several years ago in Macao. Mr. Wei was around too. I won a lot from them.”

“How much did you win?”

“Around 10 million USD.”

“So much?”

“I heard Song Yuhu’s company collapsed after that. I don’t know if his company closed because he lost to me, and I did not see him again. I know he still has a grudge against me, and I did not expect to meet him again. It seemed he started another business now, or he would not sound so confident.”

Outside of the casino’s main lobby is a row of small rooms.

These were VIP rooms for VIPs to gamble in. The stakes in these rooms were much higher than outside.

Song Yuhu opened a VIP room door and said something to the people inside. He turned to Zhang Longjuan. “Let’s wait for them to finish this round.”

“Ok.” Zhang Longjuan replied.

Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng walked out around ten minutes later. Mr. Wei looked the same, and Ms. Leng looked happy. She should have won money earlier. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

“You are here, Mr. Song.”

“Let’s play together.”

“Ok. Let’s play in another room.”

“Sure. I will get a room. What are we playing?”

“Let’s play Mahjong first.”

They discussed it for a while and asked the staff for a VIP room.

The spacious VIP room and the mahjong table are bigger than most casinos. Other than the four chairs at the table, some seats were at the back.

“Good morning.” A staff stood in the middle. Mahjong does not need a dealer or croupier. The staff should be here to serve them.

Zhang Longjuan and the rest sat at the table.

The staff looked at Shen Xiaomei, Dong Xuebing, and other bodyguards and reminded them that they could only stay around the designated area behind their respective bosses. There were markings labeled on the floor. This would prevent the people behind from looking at other players’ tiles and cheating. They were not allowed to speak after the game started. Anyone who is caught cheating would be barred from the casino immediately.
