Chapter 418: The Lone Star of Ill Omen

Just as a few people were plotting their schemes, Gao Jin finally met Chen Jiajun, who had returned from the United States.

Chen Jiajun said with a strange look on his face, "A Jin, how did you end up like this? This isn't the you I know!"

Gao Jin gave a bitter smile and rubbed the back of his head.

This matter was truly too embarrassing to speak of; after all, he couldn't exactly tell Chen Jiajun that his amnesia was caused by a clumsy fall, could he? Would the dignified God of Gamblers still have any face left? So, Gao Jin changed the subject and very solemnly begged Chen Jiajun to go find his girlfriend, Zhen Ni.

Chen Jiajun sighed and said, "No need to look. My people in the Information Department have already found your girlfriend; she is currently in the morgue in Kowloon."

"What? Zhen Ni, she..." Although Gao Jin had been prepared, he still found it hard to accept this result upon hearing it; his eyes turned red as he clenched his fists tightly.

Chen Jiajun looked at this lone star of ill omen before him with pity and said, "I had friends in the Police help investigate the scene and found signs of a struggle. So, your woman was murdered, and the primary crime scene was your villa!"

"Who was it?" Gao Jin asked, grinding his back teeth.

Chen Jiajun did not answer, but instead looked at Gao Jin and said, "What do you think?"

"Chen Jincheng? No, that old fox isn't that low!" Gao Jin thought of Chen Jincheng immediately.

After all, the main reason he returned to Hong Kong this time was to seek revenge for Shangshan Hongci.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought himself; Chen Jincheng had his own family and would certainly not break the rules of the underworld.

Chen Jiajun said flatly, "Someone by your side!"

"Someone by my side... Anan?" Gao Jin's eyes widened instantly.

Chen Jiajun took out a file and handed it to Gao Jin, saying, "Your cousin Gao Yi bet five million on you losing in the peripheral gambling pools; that is his entire net worth! If it were me, I wouldn't want you to be able to come back alive either!"

After finishing, Chen Jiajun took out a cassette tape that hadn't been completely burned: "This was also found by my Police friends in your villa; it wasn't fully destroyed! I had them find a way to recover it. Although it is incomplete, it is still enough to confirm some things."

Gao Jin took the headphones and listened to the tape carefully, the murderous intent on his face growing heavier.

After Gao Jin finished listening, Chen Jiajun said flatly, "Alright, what do you intend to do? Considering the huge favor you did for me before, I don't mind helping you take out those two pieces of trash, Gao Yi and Chen Jincheng!"

Gao Jin shook his head and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Just like back then, I want to take revenge myself!"

Chen Jiajun knew this guy would make such a choice, so he nodded and said, "Very well, tell me what you need and I will help you prepare it!"

"I want you to help me..." Gao Jin said to Chen Jiajun in a low voice.

The next day was the day the gambling match on the High Seas began.

Gao Jin still arrived on the gambling ship on time.

The Boss of the gambling ship was named Xing Shu, an Elder of the He-style organization.

He was also the middleman for this gambling match.

When both sides approached him, Xing Shu was a bit surprised, but since such a good opportunity had come to him, Xing Shu naturally wouldn't let it pass; he teamed up with the gangs from Singapore to open the betting pools and, incidentally, preside over this match.

It was just that what Xing Shu hadn't expected was that, besides Shangshan Hongci from Japan, another big shot had come with Gao Jin today... Chen Jiajun!

Seeing Chen Jiajun appear, Xing Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

"What is going on? Why did Dalao Jun come?" Xing Shu asked his subordinates.

The subordinates didn't dare to say a word, thinking silently to themselves that if Chen Jiajun wanted to come, would they dare to stop him?

Seeing Chen Jiajun board the ship, Xing Shu didn't dare to keep sitting and went straight to greet him: "Sir Chen, how do you have the time to come over today?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "No matter what, A Jin was my subordinate before. Since he is gambling with someone today, I naturally have to come and observe. Xing Shu, you wouldn't be unwelcoming, would you?"

Xing Shu's mouth twitched, and he said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "How could that be? Sir Chen coming here naturally makes my place shine!"

Also looking unnatural like Xing Shu were Chen Jincheng and his associate, Anan.

They hadn't expected that Chen Jiajun would actually stand up for Gao Jin; today's affairs were likely going to be difficult to handle.

Especially those guys from the Singapore gangs, their faces were full of wariness.

Originally, they had opened these betting pools hoping to use the gimmick of Gao Jin and Chen Jincheng gambling against each other to make a killing.

But now that Chen Jiajun had inserted himself into the middle, there were variables in the situation.

Moreover, they didn't know what Chen Jiajun's intentions were, since he had come with Gao Jin.

One had to know that the Singapore gangs had previously hunted Gao Jin down.

What if Chen Jiajun stood up for Gao Jin? Fortunately, this was the High Seas, and they had brought enough men, so they weren't afraid of Chen Jiajun turning hostile on the spot.

As for the future, at worst they would just never set foot in Hong Kong again.

Anan and the Singapore gangs comforted themselves, then regained their previous composure.

The gambling match officially began, and Gao Jin arrived in the hall with a swagger.

This aura truly lived up to his title as the God of Gamblers.

Because this match was a private grudge, they hadn't invited any gambling inspectors from the Casino Alliance.

This provided the conditions for Gao Yi's plan to be executed.

After checking the cards, both sides stated there were no issues, and it began under Xing Shu's moderation.

During the last God of Gamblers Challenge Tournament, Chen Jincheng hadn't been able to gamble against Gao Jin, and now he was full of fighting spirit.

He started off by relentlessly attacking Gao Jin, making everyone observing the match feel extremely nervous.

After all, many of these people had bought Gao Jin to win in the peripheral betting pools.

Only Chen Jiajun knew that this guy Gao Jin hadn't even brought out his real skills, clearly looking down on this old fox, Chen Jincheng.

After a round of pursuit, Gao Jin's chips were down to only about five million.

Chen Jincheng laughed triumphantly, thinking his "high-tech" had Gao Jin in the bag.

Little did he know that at this moment, he had already fallen into Gao Jin's trap.

In the final hand, Gao Jin changed his previous defensive style and became very aggressive. This change even made Chen Jincheng hesitate a bit.

However, after glancing at the mark on Gao Jin's hole card and his subconscious habit of touching his ring,

Chen Jincheng still followed the bet without hesitation.

As for the result... there is no need to say more; Gao Jin used his methods to teach this old fox Chen Jincheng a harsh lesson and mocked him thoroughly.

This left Chen Jincheng and Anan nearly furious to the point of death; "stealing a chicken only to lose the rice" was the best way to describe them.

Gao Jin then patted his cousin Gao Yi on the shoulder and said, "A-Yi, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I couldn't have beaten this old fox! He even thought the tens of millions in side bets were bought by that Indonesian! Hahaha!"

Hearing Gao Jin's words, Chen Jincheng and Anan immediately bristled with rage.

"You betrayed me!" Chen Jincheng looked at Gao Yi with a sinister glare.

Anan slammed the table and roared, "Gao Yi, you damn piece of trash!"

Gao Yi was at a loss, having no idea what had just happened.

Just as his mind went blank, Gao Jin suddenly whispered in his ear, "Cousin, go to hell!"

As he said this, he shoved a fake gun directly into Gao Yi's hand.

Seeing the gun, Chen Jincheng immediately drew his own and shot Gao Yi in the chest.

Just like that, this traitor died at the hands of Chen Jincheng, and Gao Jin not only avenged himself but also kept his own hands clean of blood.

Seeing Chen Jincheng aim his gun at Gao Jin, a cold voice drifted over: "You Singapore gangsters are really quite Babi! Killing people right in front of me—it seems you don't hold me in any regard at all!"

Hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads and discovered it was Chen Jiajun, who had not spoken a word until now.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Sir Chen!"

Those who had come to observe the gambling match greeted Chen Jiajun one by one and cleared a path for him.

Chen Jiajun didn't even look at the gun in Chen Jincheng's hand; instead, he walked up to Xing Shu and said, "Xing Shu, someone has broken the rules, cheated, and killed on your ship. According to the rules, what should be done?"

Xing Shu had originally been in on the gambling operation with the Singapore gangsters, and now, being pressed by Chen Jiajun, cold sweat was pouring down his face. For a long time, he couldn't say a single word.

Chen Jiajun was in no hurry, simply staring at Xing Shu to apply pressure.

After hesitating for a long time, Xing Shu slowly said, "I am just an old man; how would I have the ability to handle this matter? Otherwise... Sir Chen, you make the call!"

Hearing Xing Shu's words, Chen Jiajun revealed a smile and said, "Very well. Since Xing Shu has said so, then according to the rules of the underworld, the person who cheated shall leave behind a hand!"

No sooner had Chen Jiajun finished speaking than the Young Demon Brothers slammed an axe onto the gambling table.

Seeing this, Chen Jincheng and Anan's expressions changed instantly: "Chen Jiajun, what does this have to do with you! Don't go too far!"

"Doesn't have to do with me? Your Singapore Hua Gang gunmen entered my Sham Shui Po to hunt down my guest, and you say it has nothing to do with me?"

Chen Jiajun's gaze turned sharp as he stared at the two and said, "Do you really take me for a pushover? Or does your Singapore Hua Gang want to go to war with my Hung Hing?"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Anan didn't dare to say a single word.

Because he was currently representing the Singapore Hua Gang; if he said the wrong thing, not only would he be unable to save himself, but the gang behind him would also suffer.

Who didn't know that this Big Boss Chen Jiajun was petty by nature? Those who offended him rarely met a good end.

Seeing that Anan didn't dare to speak, Chen Jiajun turned to Chen Jincheng and said, "The Gambling Demon, is it? Why aren't you doing it? Or do you need me to find someone to help you?"

Chen Jincheng said with a dark face, "Chen Jiajun, this is the High Seas! This matter has nothing to do with you! Don't force me to drag you down with me!"

As he spoke, Chen Jincheng's bodyguards all stood up and placed their hands on their waists.

Seeing this, the people at the scene exclaimed and began to scatter and flee.

Even Xing Shu didn't dare stay here any longer; if the two sides started a firefight, it would be too pathetic to be killed by a stray bullet! "Drag me down with you? You think you're worthy?" Chen Jiajun laughed disdainfully.

Chen Jiajun simply clapped his hands, and his subordinate Dumu led the Young Demon Brothers to strike decisively.

The ferocity of Dumu and his men was such that even without weapons, they were not people an average person could handle.

Chen Jincheng's bodyguards were no match at all and were instantly knocked to the ground.

Seeing that his support was gone, Chen Jincheng immediately hid behind Anan and begged him for help.

But at this moment, Anan dared not move even more; although Chen Jincheng had a good relationship with the boss of their Hua Gang and was quite respected within the gang.

But an outsider was an outsider after all; Anan could not damage his own gang's interests for the sake of Chen Jincheng.

Seeing that Anan had no intention of moving, the Young Demon Brothers pinned Chen Jincheng to the table, grabbed the large axe, and swung it down.

Chen Jincheng let out a single scream and then passed out cold.

Chen Jiajun watched everything calmly, then said to Anan, "Smart man. If you had made a move just now, I guarantee you would have died even more miserably than Chen Jincheng!"

Anan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "Go back and tell your boss: what is the meaning of sending people to my territory to hunt down my guest? If he doesn't give me an explanation, don't blame me for coming to his doorstep!"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pass that on to our boss." Anan nodded hurriedly.

After settling these matters, Chen Jiajun patted Gao Jin and said, "How about it? Now that your revenge is taken, do you have any thoughts? If you have nowhere to go, there will always be a place for you here with me."

A subordinate like Gao Jin was simply too useful; Chen Jiajun was reluctant to let him go.

After all, besides Macau, the casinos in Brunei were also in need of revival. Although Luo Wuming was skilled at gambling, he was far inferior to Gao Jin in other aspects, so the Brunei casinos were still barely hanging on.

Gao Jin shook his head and said, "I plan to retire, and maybe teach a couple of apprentices."

Chen Jiajun laughed: "How old are you to be retiring already?"

Gao Jin spread his hands and said, "I am 'Invincible and Seeking Defeat'! Perhaps I will go back to my hometown to see if there are any reclusive masters left, or perhaps the legendary Thousand Sect!"

Chen Jiajun did not force him, only spreading his hands and saying, "Then I wish you success!" (End of chapter)
