Chapter 448: Let the Young Man Go

"You have cards hidden on you. If you don't believe me, you can search him." This young man still wouldn't let Lao Lu go.

At this moment, Ding Li and Shi Yong came over.

He whispered and asked, "Brother, what should we do? If we really can't, let's do it."

"What move? With so many security guards in this place, we don't want to die; let's see first." I quietly criticized Shi Yong.

Shi Yong then remained silent.

"Alright, let the security guards come over and search me. If I didn't cheat, what then?" Lao Lu was very confident.

"Then I'll chop off your hand. You're definitely cheating." The young man with the small braid said confidently.

"Fine, that's what you said. Come on, security, I'm willing to gamble with you again. Let you know there's always something beyond, someone better." Lao Lu shouted.

Then the casino security surrounded Lao Lu, requiring him to strip on the spot. At the same time, the dealer went to check the video of this round.

That was a high-magnification camera, capable of slow playback.

I was somewhat worried about Lao Lu.

I felt Lao Lu had cheated, because earlier I saw his hand was a mixed set.

But when revealed, it was three hearts Aces—clearly he cheated, though I couldn't see how he did it.

Three Kings meeting three Aces is too much of a coincidence.

This young man had already wagered his own hands.

If Lao Lu really had cards found on him, according to casino rules, both hands would be cut off.

Really cutting off Lao Lu's both hands—should I save him or not?

Saving Lao Lu would ruin my whole plan; not saving him would be hard to justify on human grounds.

I was somewhat troubled.

I took out a cigarette and lit it.

This matter made me somewhat nervous.

Summer clothes are already light; before long, they had Lao Lu stripped naked.

The security indeed found no hidden cards on Lao Lu,

In the casino, they emphasize catching the person with the goods; otherwise it lacks persuasiveness.

The security signaled to the young man with the small braid that Lao Lu had no cards.

That young man didn't believe it; he went over and searched thoroughly again, still finding no cards.

Soon after, the dealer came out from the control room,

From the dealer's expression, it was clear she hadn't seen anything in the video.

Actually, Lao Lu spent very little time holding the cards in his hand; he only picked them up slowly to look when they were dealt.

Otherwise, the cards just lay still on the table.

Unless a deity intervened.

Now it's clear—Lao Lu won money.

Shi Yong was very pleased and thus called Ding Li, Kong Xiangju, and Xiao Wu to take all the chips.

This time Lao Lu won over seven million.

Just then, the fully clothed Lao Lu grabbed the young man's hand,

"Young man, don't rush off; you have to make good on your words, or else you'll shame our ancestral master."

The young man with the small braid, seeing Lao Lu grab his hand, was already terrified out of his wits and wanted to flee quickly.

Lao Lu clung to his hand and wouldn't let go.

Kong Xiangju also came to help.

Because in gambling you must accept losses, you can't speak so casually in the casino.

Since Lao Lu didn't cheat, the young man must have his hand cut off.

The security came over, taking the young man away to cut off his hand.

Here there's no room for sentiment.

Losing a hand at such a young age is essentially being crippled for life.

I felt compassion.

Also, my goal isn't to make a lot of money here by hoping to get rich from gambling.

My goal is Zhou Jie.

This young man couldn't be alone; he might have other partners. Now is not the time to make enemies.

I then stepped up to the security,

"Let him go. We don't need the hand; just apologize to us."

After I said that, the security was stunned. The young man was also stunned.

The security looked at Lao Lu and then said, "Please have this gentleman speak."

They meant clearly that, after all, Lao Lu is the party involved; only he can speak.

Lao Lu immediately said, "Did you hear that? Mr. Zhao has spoken—quickly release him."

The security quickly let go of the young man's hand,

The young man then hurriedly ran to my side and immediately knelt down, kowtowing,

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for saving my life. I, Da Fei, will surely repay you in the future."

"Get up; from now on, don't gamble." I said.

That Da Fei gave endless thanks, then left the casino.

We people played until deep into the night before returning to the hotel to rest.

I still couldn't figure it out; I clearly felt that Lao Lu was cheating, but how come no cards were found on him?

Upon arriving at the hotel,

I called Lao Lu to a secluded place,

"Lao Lu, how did you win money in that round tonight? I clearly saw you had a mixed hand, but how did it become three Aces?"

"I still have to thank Mr. Zhao for his help; without you, I definitely wouldn't have passed this round." Lao Lu laughed.

"I helped you, what help did I give you?" I was somewhat confused.

"Mr. Zhao, feel the back pocket of your pants; there are three cards inside." Lao Lu said.

When I felt the back pocket, there really were three cards inside,

I took them out and looked; they were exactly the three mixed cards Lao Lu originally had in his hand.

I was a bit bewildered; how did these three cards end up in my pocket?

"Mr. Zhao, you didn't know, when you got close to my body to look at the cards, I had already swapped them all and placed them into your pocket, and you never noticed. I also checked the cameras in the venue; they just couldn't capture all of my movements.

So I kept walking back and forth on the floor, mainly to see where the cameras were pointed." Lao Lu said.

I suddenly understood—namely, when I got close to Lao Lu to look at the cards, he had already swapped them all; this technique is really impressive, and I didn't feel anything at all.

"Lao Lu, you're awesome. You swap cards so fast." I laughed.

"I put the swapped cards on Mr. Zhao's person because the guy opposite me is also a cheat, and I wanted to win his money."

"You mean the young guy with the braids?" I asked.

"Yes, that's the guy. He's just not from the same circle as me. Before I sat down, I greeted him, meaning we all agreed not to cheat, but I didn't expect him to ignore my greeting."

I decided to give him a lesson, to let him know there are always people better than you and mountains beyond mountains. Anyway, Mr. Zhao, this money was won thanks to your money, so it should all go to you." Lao Lu said.

"You dealt with him, the favor is on me; in this round you won quite a bit of money, I already told you—losses are mine, winnings are yours, and you take all the winnings." I said directly.

"Mr. Zhao, do you know why I can win money? It's because I have no psychological burden. My cheating can be done without hesitation.

With no psychological burden, I can win money. I can't take this money." Lao Lu said.

"Lao Lu, do we want to win more money?" I said.

"Yes. Who wouldn't want to? This is only a few million; I still want to win tens of millions." Lao Lu laughed.

"Good, next we'll go to the VIP room; I hear the stakes start at tens of millions there. Lao Lu, your skills are good; if we want to get rich, let's keep working together." I said.

"Everything will be arranged as Mr. Zhao says." Lao Lu said.

"Alright, tomorrow night we'll go to the VIP room to have a look, first get familiar with the scene, then we'll talk."
