My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 241 - 240: Little Tricks (Part Two)
"Hu-lala..."
Gao Fei pushed all the chips in front of him forward, "I'm betting high."
With two billion chips on the line, he didn't even blink, an attitude that intimidated everyone, especially the croupier, who started sweating profusely.
The croupier kept wiping the sweat from his brow, If he lost, he would have to pay out two billion... He could never earn that much money in his entire life.
"We're also betting high!"
"Right, bet high!"
"Let's ride on this gentleman's good fortune."
Many gamblers chose to bet high, seeing Gao Fei's luck and so they began to follow suit, their chips together amounting to tens of millions.
"Hey." Gao Fei glared at the croupier, "What's the matter with you? We've all placed our bets, why haven't you opened the container yet?"
"Yeah, hurry up and open it!" other gamblers clamored.
The croupier, trembling, reached out hesitantly and lifted the container, "Four, five, six, a total of fifteen points... it's high..." The croupier was pale as a sheet, his speech faltering.
"Haha, won again." Gao Fei slapped the table, "Hurry up and pay out!"
"Right, pay up!" the others shouted along, their moods lifted by the win, "Quick, pay up!"
"I don't have enough chips here..." the croupier said, trembling.
"What do you mean? Planning to welsh on the bet?" Gao Fei glowered and barked.
"No, I'm not trying to welsh." The croupier waved his hands frantically, "I really don't have enough chips here."
Just at that moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit approached, he patted the croupier on the shoulder, "Step aside, let me handle this."
"Yes." The croupier let out a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"Good evening, everyone. My name is Hu Fenggong, I'm the manager of this casino." The middle-aged man said politely.
"Cut the crap." Gao Fei waved his hand impatiently, "I just want to ask you one thing, we've won money, are you going to welsh on the bet?"
"Of course not," Hu Fenggong smiled, "I wouldn't destroy the casino's reputation over a mere two billion." After saying this, Hu Fenggong added, "Reputation is very important to a casino. If it loses its reputation, then it can't continue to operate."
"Stop talking and start paying," Gao Fei demanded.
"Right, pay up!" the other gamblers joined in the shouting.
"Everyone, please don't worry, I've already sent someone to get the chips," Hu Fenggong said with a smile, "You can rest assured, I will make sure everyone is paid."
While they were talking, a security guard came over with a tray full of chips.
"The chips have arrived." Hu Fenggong had the security guard place the tray on the table and distributed the chips according to the payout ratios to Gao Fei and the others. In the blink of an eye, the tray was half empty, "Everyone at ease now?"
"Hmm, at least you're honorable," Gao Fei snorted, "If you dared to welsh, I would have trashed this casino."
"Such bold words, sir." A sharp light flashed in Hu Fenggong's eyes, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What's there not to dare?" Gao Fei snorted, "It wouldn't matter if it was you or the Heavenly King himself, I would still dare to bet."
"Good! That's the spirit!" Hu Fenggong nodded his head, "Please come with me to the VIP room for a private bet." With that, Hu Fenggong made an inviting gesture.
"VIP room?" Gao Fei raised an eyebrow, "What VIP room?"
"It's a private room, prepared for our most esteemed guests, not everyone with any status would be able to enter."
"Why go to a private room? Can't we bet here? Afraid of being seen?"
"The VIP room has a better environment and it's quieter," Hu Fenggong explained.
Gao Fei pondered for a moment, "Okay then, I'll listen to you."
And so, Gao Fei followed Hu Fenggong to the VIP room.
"Sigh..." The crowd let out a sigh, "No more spectacle to watch, truly depressing."
...
The VIP room was spacious and lavishly decorated, with carpeted floors, wallpapered walls, and a row of crystal lights on the ceiling. In the center was a solid wood table, with a variety of gambling paraphernalia placed upon it.
"What do you think? The environment here is not bad, right?" Hu Fenggong asked.
"It's adequate," Gao Fei responded noncommittally, "What do you want to bet on?"
"Let's stick with dice," Hu Fenggong suggested, "I'll roll the dice; you guess the points. If you guess right, you win; if you guess wrong, you lose. How about it?"
Gao Fei shrugged, "Okay."
"The odds are one-to-one, and you can check the dice if you'd like to make sure there's no issue."
"No need, let's begin."
"Alright."
Hu Fenggong scooped up three dice in the tube and began to shake it vigorously, shaking for several minutes before stopping, "Bang!" Hu Fenggong placed the tube on the table, then released his hand: "It's ready, you can guess now."
"Eleven points." Gao Fei pushed all his chips out.
"Huh?" A flash of surprise crossed Hu Fenggong's eyes. He had studied gambling skills for decades and had honed exceptional abilities. He had already heard while shaking the dice that one was two points, another was four points, and the last was five points, which added up to eleven precisely.
"You can open the tube now," said Gao Fei indifferently.
Hu Fenggong gave Gao Fei a penetrating look, then pressed his hand on the tube. Just then, his little finger lightly touched it, and Gao Fei clearly saw all three dice inside flip over, directly changing the points.
A cold smile appeared on the corners of Gao Fei's mouth, Playing tricks with me? You're still green! Gao Fei placed his hand on the table, seemingly casually slapped it down...
"Pfft!"
Hu Fenggong lifted the tube away.
Two points, four points, five points, adding up to precisely eleven points.
"How could this be?" Hu Fenggong was dumbstruck, he had clearly tampered with it, so why hadn't the dice points changed? What went wrong?
"Sorry, but I win," Gao Fei said with a grin: "According to the rules we set before, you should pay me four billion." Gao Fei had exchanged for one billion in chips, won one billion in the first round, and two billion in the second, totaling exactly four billion.
"Expert!" Hu Fenggong raised his thumb: "I've underestimated you!" With that, Hu Fenggong pulled out a check from his bosom, picked up a pen, and wrote a series of numbers: "Take this check; it can be cashed at any bank."
"Let's continue," Gao Fei took the check and then gestured for Hu Fenggong to keep shaking the dice.
"Playing like this isn't interesting, let's raise the stakes."
"Sure, suit yourself."
"Let's use six dice. It's more challenging and fun that way."
Hu Fenggong got six dice in the tube and shook them vigorously. This time he shook even longer, for a full ten minutes, "Whack!" After setting down the tube, he stared at Gao Fei: "You can guess now."
"All six points, adding up to thirty-six points." Gao Fei pushed out all his chips, then added the check: "All in!"
Hu Fenggong's face twitched violently. Losing this round would mean paying out eight billion! At this moment, Hu Fenggong was trembling and hesitant to open the tube.
"Hey, why haven't you opened the tube yet?" Gao Fei urged: "Hurry up and open it!"
"Don't rush, I'm about to open it." After calming his frazzled nerves, Hu Fenggong reached to remove the tube.
Indeed, six sixes, totaling thirty-six points.
Hu Fenggong swayed and almost fell to the ground. He had lost, two times in a row! He had lost twelve billion! Hu Fenggong felt so pained he wanted to cry. That was twelve billion, enough to buy a small town.
"I win again." Gao Fei laughed heartily: "My luck is just too good! It's like the Heavenly King's blessing! Pay up, quick!"
"Your gambling skills are truly brilliant," Hu Fenggong looked up, gazing directly into Gao Fei's eyes. "I admire you!"
"Cut the crap and pay up," Gao Fei said, waving his hand impatiently.
"Don't worry, I won't renege," Hu Fenggong gritted his teeth, took out another check, and wrote a long string of numbers. Holding it for a long time, he then handed it over to Gao Fei with reluctance.
Gao Fei placed the check on the table, weighted it down with chips, then said to Hu Fenggong: "Come on, let's continue gambling!"
"Let's change the game," Hu Fenggong suggested.
"What do you want to play?"
"Poker."
"Fine, any game will do."
...
Hu Fenggong took out a brand-new deck of poker cards from the drawer in the table: "Do you want to check them?"
"No need, I'm not afraid you'll cheat," Gao Fei said nonchalantly: "Poker has many variations, which one do you want to play?"
"Each person draws three cards, then compare the size," Hu Fenggong said. "Leopard is the biggest! A single card is the smallest! How about that?"
"Sure," nodded Gao Fei. "You draw first."
"Then I shall not stand on ceremony." Hu Fenggong drew three cards and revealed them one by one, they were actually three "A"s, the biggest hand: "Hehe... I win this round, unless you can draw a 235, the smallest hand that defeats the biggest."
Gao Fei drew a card, revealed it to be a 2, then drew another, which was a 3. If he pulled out a 5 next, he would win. Gao Fei raised his eyelids slightly: "What do you think, will I draw a 5?"
"I don't believe you're that lucky!" Hu Fenggong said through gritted teeth.
"Well, let's find out." Gao Fei picked a card with two fingers and slowly unveiled it: "Sorry, it's a 5, you lose."
235 defeating three As was a rule all casinos abided by. No one could change it. This was the so-called natural counter; whatever hand you had, there was always a nemesis.
"How could this be?"
Hu Fenggong collapsed into his chair, his face full of disbelief: "How could you draw a 235? It's impossible, impossible! You must have cheated! Yes, you've cheated!!!" Saying this, Hu Fenggong abruptly stood up, glaring furiously at Gao Fei: "You've got some nerve, daring to cheat in a casino!"
