Chapter 537: The Mechanism Villa

He Xin looked at Mr. Gao downstairs with an ugly expression, and said to Chen Jiajun without anger: "So this is the bastard planning to launder money in Macau?"

Chen Jiajun shrugged and said: "This isn't something I said; it's the unanimous conclusion of the police in the mainland, Hong Kong, and Macau! Besides, you wouldn't have never heard of the international money laundering organization D. O. A., would you?"

He Xin nodded and said: "I have indeed heard of them... These bastards! A Jie, go and check for me, who allowed this guy to mess around at the Portugal Hotel?"

"Mr. He, no need to check." At this moment, Shi Yijian walked over and said helplessly: "I believe I approved it."

"Hm?" He Xin looked at Shi Yijian with a strange expression; in his impression, Shi Yijian would never let such a mess happen.

Shi Yijian explained: "I went out for some business two days ago and left the casino to my apprentice A Jie; it must have been his doing."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Your apprentice A Jie has a rebellious streak! You should be careful!"

He Xin immediately relaxed and said to Shi Yijian: "Since it's your person, how do you plan to resolve it?"

Seeing A Jie busy back and forth in the lobby, Shi Yijian sighed and said: "I'll handle this matter! Give me some time!"

Shi Yijian had served the Aopu Group for over ten years; He Xin wouldn't hold him accountable for such a small mistake, only saying: "Just make sure you know what you're doing!"

As he spoke, He Xin turned his gaze to Chen Jiajun and said: "As for this so-called Mr. Gao, how do you plan to resolve it, A Jun?"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "I already warned his people before, saying that if they dare to appear on my turf again, I'll make them pay dearly. I have always been a man of my word."

The Charity Spinach Tournament began quickly.

Shi Yijian and Mr. Gao each entered the venue and sat in their respective seats.

Although it was called a Spinach Tournament, it was actually Mr. Gao challenging the Portugal Hotel's Technical Director, Shi Yijian.

Therefore, there were quite a few people there to watch.

The two sides were playing Baccarat.

And it was Shi Yijian's apprentice, A Jie, who was responsible for serving as the Dealer.

Logically speaking, this was very unfair to Mr. Gao, but he didn't raise any objections.

After the cards were dealt, Shi Yijian immediately got an eight.

Mr. Gao flipped over the cards in his hand, and they were actually two "4"s, which also added up to eight.

However, this guy, Mr. Gao, suddenly grabbed the corner of the cards and flicked them onto the table.

The "4" that was in his hand just a moment ago turned into a "5".

Such a small trick of cheating was simply not worth mentioning in front of Shi Yijian.

It was no wonder Shi Yijian looked down on a character like Mr. Gao.

Seeing that he had won the first round, Mr. Gao smiled triumphantly: "Brother Jian, you were one move behind!"

Shi Yijian smiled faintly and said: "It's a charity tournament, the big show is yet to come!"

Mr. Gao's competitive spirit immediately flared up; he pushed over a stack of Chips and sneered: "Brother Jian is known as the undefeated master of the world. If I become the first person to make Brother Jian lose all his money, I would be very honored!"

"My friends are just giving me face!" Shi Yijian said modestly.

Subsequently, in every round of cards, Mr. Gao had no opportunity to cheat.

Because no matter how the cards were dealt, whether the points were high or low, it would always be a tie.

And such a bizarre game of cards continued for twenty-nine rounds.

This made everyone present start to yawn.

This charity tournament wasn't exciting at all, and was even a bit boring.

But just at this moment, the mobile phone of Shi Yijian's Secretary, Susan, suddenly vibrated.

She opened her phone, was startled, and handed it to Shi Yijian, saying anxiously: "Something happened at home!"

Shi Yijian immediately fixed his gaze on Mr. Gao.

Sure enough, as Chen Jiajun had expected, this guy really was targeting him.

Shi Yijian's expression immediately turned serious, and he said to Susan: "Go downstairs and wait for me!"

After Susan left, Shi Yijian flipped over his cards, and it was another tie.

He smiled and said: "Twenty-nine rounds and all were ties; I should have bet on a tie! Sorry, I have some business to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!"

As he spoke, Shi Yijian wanted to leave directly.

Mr. Gao said at this moment: "Brother Jian, twenty-nine consecutive rounds without a winner, how can you leave? How about this, let's play one more round. If you win, I'll donate another two hundred million, how about that?"

"Two hundred million?" Shi Yijian sneered.

At this moment, A Jie whispered to Shi Yijian: "Master, if you leave now, people will gossip!"

Shi Yijian was silent for a moment and agreed: "Fine, I'll call for cards; prepare four new decks for me!"

A Jie nodded and immediately called for people to prepare them.

Soon, the two of them each took a deck of cards and performed fancy shuffling methods.

This drew applause from the crowd.

The two sides combined the four decks of cards, then drew two cards from them, preparing to bet on the final round.

Shi Yijian flipped over a "7", while Mr. Gao flipped over a "9".

Mr. Gao immediately said triumphantly: "Brother Jian, you're done for! Your hole card should be a '10'. My memory from shuffling the cards just now shouldn't be wrong!"

"Let's take a look, it really is!" Shi Yijian flipped over the last card, but showed no signs of panic; instead, he smiled and said: "But it's enough to win!"

"My hole card should also be a '10'." Mr. Gao smiled and flipped the card over directly: "Sorry Brother Jian, for the first time, I've made you lose everything."

However, the next moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because the card in his hand was not a '10', but an '11'.

Although the number '11' appearing in poker was a bit absurd, according to the rules of Baccarat, a total of ten points counts as zero.

Shi Yijian said exaggeratedly: "Wow! Nine points plus eleven points, isn't that zero points? Mr. Gao, thank you for your two hundred million! Goodbye!"

His "Magic Hand" had already reached a level bordering on the supernatural; he had actually swapped Mr. Gao's cards without the other party noticing anything.

Shi Yijian turned and left immediately, and said to his apprentice A Jie who wanted to stop him: "Don't you try to stop me!"

Shi Yijian said this, then left the Gambling Hall.

However, he did not rush straight home, but instead brought Secretary Susan to a Restaurant.

"Something happened at home, why did you bring me to a Restaurant? A Cai and Xiao Leng are in danger!" Susan said anxiously.

Shi Yijian, however, said with a calm face: "Rest assured, there are traps at home! And with that man sitting in charge, I don't think there is anyone in the world who can hurt A Cai."...

At the same time, inside the mansion that Shi Yijian had converted from a library.

A group of international mercenaries led by Guiyan had already broken through the Security System of Shi Yijian's home and intruded into the rooms.

But the very moment they broke into the room, the traps inside the house had already begun to activate.

Shi Yijian was not only a top-tier gambler and master thief, but also a master of ventriloquism and a master of traps.

The traps he used at home were enough to give these mercenaries a hard time.

The mercenaries had just opened the Security System when they were met with a rain of arrows.

Countless crossbow bolts flew in from both sides of the bookshelves, leaving them absolutely no room to hide.

In just the first round, two mercenaries met their end, shot dead by the hail of arrows.

And the commotion here immediately drew the attention of the two young people who were flirting upstairs.

A Cai let out a cry of surprise, which immediately caught Guiyan's attention, and he ordered his men to go upstairs to capture them.

But the perfectly fine spiral staircase immediately turned into a slide after a few people walked onto it.

Three mercenaries fell flat on their faces on the spot, finding it extremely difficult to even crawl back up.

Subsequently, other traps like animal traps, flip-boards, and armor directly took down several more mercenaries.

"Open fire, kill them!" Guiyan was furious and immediately shouted for his men to open fire.

In a panic, Xiao Leng immediately hid with A Cai.

But at this moment, an eyeball suddenly fell off the teddy bear that had been given to A Cai.

This appeared to be a False Eyeball.

Xiao Leng handed the False Eyeball to A Cai, telling her to hide while he continued to spar with this group of mercenaries.

A Cai hurriedly said: "I'm going to get Uncle Ya Qi, you hold on!"

Saying this, she turned and hurriedly ran toward Ya Qi's room.

Upon seeing the False Eyeball, Xiao Leng guessed something, and instantly, burning with rage, he lunged at Guiyan.

Unfortunately, his martial arts skills were mediocre, and he was quickly pinned to the ground by Guiyan.

"How are you just as useless as that deadbeat father of yours!" Guiyan said with a cold laugh.

Xiao Leng was furious: "You dare mess with him!"

"Already did!" Guiyan continued; "What, want revenge? With your amateur skills, I think you want to go down and reunite with your brother! If you want to live, obediently hand over your brother's False Eyeball!"

At this time, A Cai had not yet reached Ya Qi's room before she was intercepted by Ya Qi.

"Uncle Ya Qi, hurry and go help Xiao Leng!" A Cai said to Ya Qi anxiously.

Ya Qi, however, said with a calm face: "No rush, let's see what level your boyfriend is at."

"Ah?" A Cai shook Ya Qi's arm and said: "Uncle Ya Qi, hurry up! Xiao Leng can't hold on, that bastard is about to beat Xiao Leng to death!"

At this time, although Xiao Leng had learned that his brother and father had both met with foul play, he fought Guiyan in a rage.

But the gap between the two sides was too great, and he was kicked flying by Guiyan, slamming heavily under a bookshelf.

"Uncle Ya Qi, help him! Otherwise... otherwise I won't talk to you anymore!" A Cai threatened.

"Tsk, what's so good about this kid!" Ya Qi said unhappily.

Compared to Shi Yijian, Ya Qi was a much more competent uncle.

So, seeing Xiao Leng's performance, he appeared very dissatisfied.

"Oh, if you won't go, I will!"

A Cai was so anxious she hooked onto a wire, preparing to go help her boyfriend.

Ya Qi sighed helplessly: "Girls really do turn their backs on their families!"

Ya Qi pulled A Cai back, then leaped down directly from the floor above.

He raised his hand and snapped the necks of two mercenaries, then charged at Guiyan, who was preparing to deliver a finishing blow.

Hearing the rush of wind behind him, the hair on Guiyan's body stood on end.

He hurriedly bent over to dodge, only then avoiding Ya Qi's attack.

If he hadn't dodged that kick quickly, he likely would have had his head kicked off by Ya Qi on the spot.

Guiyan looked at the man in front of him with horror, his eyes full of wariness.

"Kid, isn't a killer like you a bit too subpar?" Ya Qi said with a look of disdain.

This immediately made Guiyan bristle; although this guy was a killer, he was a killer with strong self-esteem.

Facing Ya Qi's mockery, he immediately rushed up, prepared to fight Ya Qi to the death.

Unfortunately, the absolute gap in strength could not be made up for by mere technique.

This guy rushed over holding a short blade, but was grabbed by the cheek by Ya Qi's slender fingers in just one round.

Then, with immense force, he was slammed directly into the ground.

The force was so great that even Xiao Leng, not far away, felt the ground shake.

Then, looking at Guiyan, who had beaten him so badly just moments ago, he was now unable to even catch his breath.

Subsequently, Ya Qi looked at Xiao Leng with a look of disgust and said unhappily: "Kid, with your level of skill, how are you going to protect our A Cai!"

Xiao Leng was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Hey, how lively!" At this moment, Shi Yijian's voice came from outside the door.

Seeing the mercenaries lying all over the floor, he said speechlessly: "Just now at the casino, I really should have beaten that bastard up."

Ya Qi said indifferently, "He cannot leave."

Shi Yijian was stunned for a moment, then said to Ya Qi, "Did the Big Boss make a move?"

Ya Qi nodded, "The Boss did indeed take action; if you are interested, you can probably go and punch him twice."

"Forget it, I don't have the time for that," Shi Yijian said, waving his hand.

At this moment, Xiao Leng suddenly remembered something and said to Shi Yijian, "Uncle, could you send me back to Hong Kong immediately?" (End of this chapter)
