Ling Zhenfei knew of Li Erng's capability to handle tasks, so entrusting this matter to Li Erng, he was completely reassured.
He was aware that it would take so ti for Li Erng to find the right people, so he decided to set aside the agricultural planting matters for the mont.
After seeing off Li Erng, Ling Zhenfei was about to rest when suddenly his phone rang.
Seeing that the caller ID was Liang Yida's number, Ling Zhenfei then rembered that he had promised to cheat for him at Hei Biao's casino, and couldn't help but shake his head in self-mockery with a smile.
In the past few days, he had encountered so many complicated matters that he had actually forgotten about this one!
It should be noted that Liang Yida had offered him one million for cheating, and he had already received half the deposit. This was a major affair that he absolutely could not take lightly.
"Hello, Boss Liang, you're still up so late?" Ling Zhenfei casually picked up the call with a relaxed tone, trying to lighten the mood.
"Indeed, how true that is. Young Master Ling, I'm troubled and cannot sleep!"
Over the phone, Liang Yida let out a sigh, then spoke to Ling Zhenfei, "Young Master Ling, tomorrow is the agreed date. How are your preparations?"
He had to cheat in gambling tomorrow?
Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was suddenly shaken.
He had thought that Liang Yida would give him a few more days to prepare, but he hadn't expected him to be so urgent!
"Young Master Ling... Is there a problem?"
Hearing Ling Zhenfei's silence for a long ti, Liang Yida's voice sounded sowhat anxious.
He knew it was a bit rushed to ask Ling Zhenfei to act so soon, but it had to be done.
Recently, he had received news that Hei Biao was frequently making moves, obviously indicating so major changes were afoot.
Liang Yida could not determine exactly what these changes would entail but knew they would definitely be disadvantageous to him. Rather than being passive, he preferred to act as soon as possible to free himself from that devil, Hei Biao.
"No problem! Don't worry, Boss Liang. Tomorrow, I will surely deliver a satisfactory result!"
Ling Zhenfei confidently gave an affirmative response, not wanting Liang Yida to know that he was actually completely unprepared. Not only would he not be able to collect the remaining five hundred thousand, but he would also have to return the five hundred thousand he had already received!
"Good, good, hearing you say that puts at ease, Young Master Ling!"
Reassured by Ling Zhenfei's confident reply, the heavy stone in Liang Yida's heart finally settled as he complinted repeatedly, "Young Master Ling, you should rest early. Tomorrow morning, I'll send soone over to pick you up!"
After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked over to his bed and pulled out the specialized poker cards he had previously requested from Liang Yida for the casino.
Normally, to prevent gamblers from cheating, casinos use poker cards that are slightly different from those available on the market.
These poker cards, although looking similar to regular ones, are slightly wider. If a cheater uses standard poker cards for palming off or switching, there's a risk of being caught on the spot.
However, Ling Zhenfei was not worried about this. He was not a standard cheater and naturally would not follow convention by tampering with the cards.
Indeed, with his Perspective Eye able to see through anything, any sophisticated cheating techniques were completely transparent to him.
The night was still young, and since Ling Zhenfei wasn't sleepy anyway, he started studying the poker cards under the lamp to get used to this new type for the casino the next day.
The casino-specific poker cards were indeed unusual, not only wider than ordinary poker cards but also made of harder paper, making it quite difficult for a cheater to tamper with them on the spot.
However, such challenges didn't bother Ling Zhenfei at all.
Holding the cards in his hands, Ling Zhenfei already had an idea.
If he couldn't tamper with the casino's cards on site, why not modify these cards beforehand and bring the tampered cards to blend in...
Indeed, Ling Zhenfei's idea was much like a typical cheater's - to trim the edges of the cards and switch them during the ga.
"Trimming" is quite a common technique if ntioned; any cheater knows this trick. It involves using a cutter to trim the longer edges of the cards into a right-angled trapezoid.
However, this edge-trimming should be subtly done, so it's hard for ordinary people to notice with the naked eye.
Once the edges were trimd, during the ga, he could randomly insert such a card face down into any position within the deck and identify it based on the trimd edge.
Of course, since Ling Zhenfei possessed the Perspective Eye and could easily see through his opponents' hands, he really didn't need to resort to this type of card-stealing thod.
He did this, partly to provide Liang Yida with an explanation, but more importantly, to switch out good cards from his opponents using the marked cards.
Otherwise, rely seeing others' cards but not being able to switch them would hinder him from continuously cheating.
After ssing with the cards for several hours, Ling Zhenfei rubbed his tired eyes once he was completely accustod to the deck and went to bed.
The next morning, right after breakfast, Ling Zhenfei saw a car parked at the door.
A young man in a neat suit got out, approached Ling Zhenfei's door, knocked, and respectfully said, "Mr. Ling, Boss Liang sent to pick you up!"
"Okay!" Ling Zhenfei was prepared and got into the car headed for Binyang upon hearing the words.
No sooner had the car reached Binyang City than Ling Zhenfei received a call from Liang Yida, "Hello, Young Master Ling, are you on the road? I'm worried Hei Biao and his crew might suspect sothing, so I won't accompany you to the casino.
The young man with you, nad Jiang Hao, is a new face; the people in the casino don't recognize him. Once you're in the casino, just cheat and tarnish their reputation."
Liang Yida instructed him briefly, finally assuring Ling Zhenfei with utmost confidence, "Young Master Ling, Jiang Hao is very capable, especially in fighting. Just cheat, and if the security catches you, Jiang Hao will ensure your safety. Plus, I'll have people ready outside to back you up!"
"Okay, I understand" Ling Zhenfei responded calmly and then hung up.
Ling Zhenfei didn't take Liang Yida's other instructions to heart.
He didn't think the casino's bouncers could trouble him much, and whether or not Jiang Hao was by his side no longer seed important.
Jiang Hao was clearly a man of few words; other than identifying himself when he ca to pick up Ling Zhenfei, he sat silently in the driver's seat the rest of the ti, driving with a stern expression.
However, Ling Zhenfei took the chance to observe him a few tis and noticed his calm deanor, high temples, and the strong, forceful hands gripping the steering wheel, clearly indicating his martial training.
"We've arrived!"
Jiang Hao drove up to a lavishly decorated private club in the city, pressed down on the brake, and respectfully inford Ling Zhenfei with two words.
Ling Zhenfei didn't rush to get off, instead he looked up at the luxurious club.
