The incident caused by Yu Zheng led to significant losses for the casino, and the biggest winner was Yu Zheng himself. Li Hui would have to be foolish not to see that sothing fishy was going on.
However, with so many people watching, the casino had to allow its guests to win money as well as lose it. Otherwise, who would co here to gamble in the future?
Although most of these gamblers are not short on cash, this money doesn't just co from nowhere. No one likes to simply hand over their money to soone else for nothing.
Li Hui was not particularly proficient in gambling techniques, but he was very perceptive about human relationships and behaviors. The fact that Yu Zheng could win money ant either his luck was incredibly good or his gambling skills were remarkable.
Either way, the presence of such a person was a big problem for the casino. They absolutely could not allow him to stay here, as this would lead to even greater losses for the casino.
"No problem, where to? Lead the way..."
Yu Zheng did not mind at all and nodded, then stood up from his seat.
"This way, please..."
A flicker of unusual color passed through Li Hui's eyes, but his facial expression did not change much. He imdiately guided Yu Zheng and the others politely to an office nearby.
This office was exclusively used by Li Hui, where ordinary people weren't allowed. The furnishings inside were extrely luxurious, especially a large safe hidden behind the wall in a corner.
Without a doubt, this was Bihai Pavilion's safe, secured by Li Hui himself and the special background of Bihai Pavilion, making it much safer.
Qin Fang stood behind Yu Zheng wearing sunglasses. Although his head did not move, his eyes had already thoroughly scanned the area, especially focusing on the safe.
Although Bihai Pavilion is a legitimate entertainnt venue, because of its background, it obviously has a lot of money whose origins aren't exactly clean.
This kind of dirty money wouldn't just be foolishly kept close at hand; therefore, placing it in Bihai Pavilion was relatively safer.
Not to ntion the location of the safe was particularly hidden; probably only a few people in Bihai Pavilion were aware of it. Additionally, the safe's system was very advanced, making it practically impossible to steal from it without the correct way to open it...
The most crucial point, however, was that Qin Fang knew that at this mont, the safe contained a large amount of cash, checks, and other valuable securities—the amount was considerably huge, at least several billion.
This was also why Qin Fang specifically chose today to cause trouble. This ti's gambling had a huge scale, with many people bringing in large sums of cash and checks, accumulating to a very substantial figure.
"If such a sum of money were all lost, I wonder if Li Rui would keel over and die..."
Qin Fang muttered to himself inside his heart.
Though he appeared to be just accompanying Yu Zheng as a bodyguard today, playing a supporting role, in actuality, Yu Zheng was rely a decoy set out in the open to draw attention while he was the real actor.
A smile flickered in his eyes, but due to the sunglasses, no one noticed this change... not to ntion that Li Hui's attention was entirely fixed on Yu Zheng.
Prior to this, Li Hui had also had soone investigate the identities of Yu Zheng and others, but unfortunately, they could find no trace in their database. Clearly, this person was not listed as "persona non grata" by the casino.
Although Bihai Pavilion is located Inland and is not an openly recognized casino, it has long been integrated internationally and can access the Casino Alliance's network. Anyone listed as "persona non grata" by major casinos worldwide would also be accessible here.
Witnessing such actions by Yu Zheng, even though it was just dice gambling with a relatively low level of difficulty, Li Hui had initially felt that there was sothing unusual about him.
He assud that Yu Zheng was a cheater who could no longer mix in other casinos and ca Inland to try his luck, but unexpectedly, no information could be found, which puzzled him.
Of course, he couldn't find any; Yu Zheng had retired from the gambling circle over a decade ago when the casino systems were not as advanced as they are now. These systems are now able to globally connect major casinos to deny entry to such cheaters.
As for the title of Asian Gambling King, Yu Zheng had obtained it over a decade ago when he was at the height of his glory. Sadly, his prominence soon declined, replaced by others.
The casino industry is fast-changing and easily forgotten. One day you might be an infinitely glorious Gambling King with assets worth millions; the next, you could be bankrupt and selling your last possessions to pay off debts after one gambling session.
Over more than a decade of changing fortunes, new masters have erged in the gambling arena, replacing the old. Almost no contemporaries of Yu Zheng are still alive; those who are have either died or been crippled. Those with good luck might have a whole corpse left, the less fortunate might not even have a trace of their bodies found... very few manage to endure until retirent.
Although Yu Zheng was crippled, having his limbs cut off, he still managed to have quite a good life over the past dozen years without anyone disturbing him.
This ti, erging after more than a decade, the elderly from back then are almost all gone, and his na hasn't been ntioned for many years; most probably thought he had been dead for a long ti already.
Even the elderly from back then might not believe that Yu Zheng is still alive, let alone the Casino Alliance, which surely wouldn't know of the existence of a person like Yu Zheng.
Although Li Hui felt that Yu Zheng might be formidable, he found no evidence to prevent him from entering, especially since Yu Zheng had just helped defuse a troubleso situation.
"Mr. Yu…"
Li Hui thought it over, yet still felt the need to ascertain the real intentions of the visitor. If he was rely here to gamble, that would be an easier matter, but if he ca to cause trouble, then precautions were necessary.
"Manager Li, you need not say it, I know what you want to ask... Let's put it this way, I'm not here to cause trouble, but I have heard that your esteed casino is hosting a high-stakes ga. I am soone who doesn't like small bets, yet being new here, I can't even get through the door..."
Yet Yu Zheng just smiled and interrupted Li Hui, revealing his true purpose.
This lavish gamble organized by Bihai Pavilion attracted wealthy persons from Ninghai and surrounding cities in Jiangnan to participate.
Most were regular patrons of Bihai Pavilion, invited through invitations sent by Bihai Pavilion itself, granting them the eligibility to enter. As for those small wealthy persons who hadn't even received an invitation, clearly they were not esteed enough to qualify...
Qin Fang could have also obtained an invitation through connections, but if Li Rui were to investigate afterwards, it would be easy to expose his presence, sothing Qin distinctly preferred to avoid.
Thus, he had opted for this approach to directly request an invitation...
"This..."
Upon hearing Yu Zheng's words, hesitation showed on Li Hui's face, clearly sowhat reluctant, but after pondering, he nodded, "This was indeed an oversight on Li's part. Since Mr. Yu has such interest, Li naturally can't disappoint you... In that case, as long as Mr. Yu pays the deposit, you may enter and participate..."
This high-stakes ga gathered many wealthy individuals. Bihai Pavilion wasn't involved; at most, it just facilitated introductions.
Of course, a necessary commission was inevitable. Organizing such an event was painstaking, and Bihai Pavilion certainly wouldn't walk away without any benefits.
Because of this, no matter who won, Bihai Pavilion still made money, achieving a no-loss scenario, which naturally made Li Hui indifferent to adding one more person like Yu Zheng.
In attending the lavish gamble, Yu Zheng would be winning money from other gamblers, while Bihai Pavilion could still rake in a commission. But if they didn't let him participate, Yu Zheng would continue gambling outside, winning money from the casino instead... He had just duped the casino of over ten million yuan, and if continued, heavens knew how much he could win.
For safety's sake, to ensure the casino's profits, Li Hui decisively sent Yu Zheng to participate in the lavish gamble...
The selection of gamblers was also conducted by Bihai Pavilion, who had the final say on who could enter. With Li Hui's words, Yu Zheng's participation in the lavish gamble was settled.
The entry deposit was ten million yuan, money which Yu Zheng didn't need to pay himself; he had just won about ten million yuan gambling with dice, conveniently using it as the deposit.
Li Hui was quite exasperated, using the money won from the casino as the deposit essentially ant zero cost, making this transaction extrely shrewd, but internally he beca even more wary of Yu Zheng.
"How does it look?"
As Yu Zheng and his two companions exited the office, Ye Ping asked in a low voice, while Yu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had heard nothing at all.
Qin Fang secretly nodded, indicating that the target was locked, just waiting for the opportunity to strike...
Li Hui naturally didn't know anything; after collecting the ten million yuan deposit from Yu Zheng, he was now leading Yu Zheng to the venue for the lavish gamble.
"You can just hang around outside, Ye and I will go in…"
At the venue's entrance, the security stopped Qin Fang, the bodyguard, from entering, and Yu Zheng, going with the flow, tossed Qin Fang a stack of chips and said.
This way, Qin Fang remained outside duly and legitimately, with no one suspecting anything unusual, even Li Hui didn't think there was any problem.
Or rather, from the beginning, he hadn't paid much attention to Qin Fang, the bodyguard; he was really focused on Yu Zheng, the suspected cheater.
This was also sothing Qin and his team had anticipated and prepared for in advance. Reality was unfolding according to their scripted plan, and so far, there hadn't been any major departures!
Having left Yu Zheng, Qin Fang was ready to start his operation...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to support by voting on Qidian (qidian), your support is my greatest motivation.)
