Chapter 64: The Most Handsome Guy in the Casino
After leaving Jiang Tiansheng's home, Chen Mo decided to first give Jingkun a call.
Chen Mo certainly didn't believe just anyone would dare to collect protection money from Great Prosperity's casino.
Fei Gou might just be a minor lackey pushed out by someone else.
Chen Mo didn't want to kill a Fei Gou and bring other trouble upon himself.
Chen Hao Nan's losses in Macau were entirely thanks to Jingkun pulling strings behind the scenes. Jingkun would definitely have intelligence on Fei Gou.
"Brother Kun, it's Mo."
"Mo, congratulations on grabbing two more streets. You're getting more and more formidable."
"Brother Kun, you flatter me. I still have to thank Brother Kun for this."
"Why thank me? I didn't lift a finger for you." Chen Mo's words left Jingkun completely bewildered.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "If not for Brother Kun, I might already have been hacked up in Macau by now. How would I have time to grab territory?"
"Huh? Hahahaha! So you already heard about Chen Hao Nan getting hacked up in Macau?"
Jingkun then realized why Chen Mo was thanking him, and shamelessly accepted: "I told you this Macau job wouldn't be that simple. It's rare that you still remember your big brother's kindness to you."
Chen Mo seized the opportunity to ask, "Brother Kun, does this Fei Gou have some kind of background? Otherwise he wouldn't have made Chen Hao Nan and the others take such a big loss."
"Why are you asking about Fei Gou?" Jingkun said in puzzlement, then it dawned on him, "Don't tell me Jiang Tiansheng wants you to go clean up Chen Hao Nan's mess?"
Chen Mo sighed, "That's right. I just got back from Jiang Tiansheng's place not long ago.
I don't want to go to Macau and get hacked up without knowing what's going on. So I hurried to call Brother Kun to find out about Fei Gou's situation."
"Relax, Chen Hao Nan getting hacked up is because he's incompetent. With your ability, it's just a Fei Gou—no need to take him too seriously." Jingkun's tone was full of disdain for both Chen Hao Nan and Fei Gou.
"This Fei Gou is Mo Luo Bing's man. Who knows why he suddenly went crazy this time, daring to collect protection money from our Great Prosperity.
But taking him out is no big deal either. Mo Luo Bing is only relatively strong in Macau. Once on Gangdao, he wouldn't dare offend our Great Prosperity."
Jingkun's words put Chen Mo at ease.
"That's good. I was worried that Fei Gou had some impressive backer behind him. If it's only Mo Luo Bing, then it's easy to handle."
Just a Mo Luo Bing—nothing to be afraid of offending either.
Although the current Mo Luo Bing, backed by the Gambling King He Xin, held the greatest power in Macau.
But Chen Mo knew full well that behind Mo Luo Bing, Beng Ya Ju was also watching like a tiger eyeing its prey.
Furthermore, the Water Room's power in Macau was not to be underestimated either.
"But Macau is their territory after all, so you'd better be careful. Once you're back, I'll treat you to tea."
"Sounds good. When the time comes, I'll invite Brother Kun to come to my bar and have fun."
After hanging up with Jingkun, Chen Mo made another call to Han Bin.
Only after confirming that the marine police's blockade on the sea surface had been lifted did Chen Mo summon Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi.
"Sheng, Yi, you two come with me to Macau in a bit."
"Mo Ge, do we need to bring pieces?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment, then nodded. "Bring them."
Going to Macau to take out Fei Gou, it wouldn't be convenient to make a big fuss.
With just him and Fei Ji, plus the two brothers Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi, that would be enough.
Chen Mo called home to tell Gang Sheng that he wouldn't be back for the next few days, then the four of them went straight to Kwai Tsing to find Han Bin.
Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi were both carrying pieces, so they definitely couldn't go to Macau through official channels.
Hearing Chen Mo say he was going to Macau, Han Bin immediately guessed what Chen Mo was going to do. Without any unnecessary words, he quickly arranged a boat for the group.
For someone like Han Bin who ran smuggling operations, as long as the marine police hadn't mounted a large-scale blockade of the sea, sending a few people to Macau was a piece of cake.
That very night, Chen Mo and his group of four arrived in Macau.
Chen Mo and the others didn't stay at Great Prosperity's territory, but instead found a star-rated hotel and checked in first.
Chen Mo had inquired beforehand and knew that the casino upstairs in this hotel belonged to Yu Lan Can.
This time in Macau, Chen Mo planned to take the opportunity to make contact with Yu Lan Can.
After all, there weren't many casinos that could cleanly launder eighty million US dollars.
The next day, Chen Mo made arrangements for Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi.
"Sheng, Yi, these next two days go gather intelligence on Fei Gou and see what would be the best way to take him out."
"Understood, Mo Ge!"
Although he'd learned quite a bit about Fei Gou from Jingkun, intelligence was something you felt more secure using when you uncovered it yourself.
Chen Mo, meanwhile, took Fei Ji to the casino upstairs in the hotel.
In all of Macau, there was only one gambling license, and it was in the hands of the Gambling King He Xin.
Basically every hotel of some scale in Macau had a casino, but they were all opened in partnership with He Xin.
He Xin only needed to provide a license and lend his name to receive a percentage of the casino's shares.
In Macau, aside from the Macau government, He Xin's word carried the most weight.
Chen Mo exchanged twenty thousand dollars in chips, gave ten thousand to Fei Ji, and strolled around the casino with his own ten thousand in chips.
Although this casino wasn't the largest in Macau, it wasn't small either.
The main hall had over a dozen gaming tables, covering all kinds of games.
Although Chen Mo also had gambling dens under his command, he rarely gambled himself. He knew how to play, but it had nothing to do with any real gambling skill.
But that didn't matter—Chen Mo had the system.
After obtaining the US dollars that Tian Yang Sheng and the others had snatched, Chen Mo's system suddenly gained over sixty thousand wealth points.
Before coming to Macau, Chen Mo had spent one thousand wealth points to exchange for a Basic Gambling Skill, and didn't feel the slightest pang of regret.
In addition to instilling a considerable amount of casino experience into Chen Mo, the Basic Gambling Skill also significantly improved his memory, calculation ability, and finger dexterity.
Chen Mo didn't dare say his gambling skills could sweep through Oyster Gate casinos, but showing off in the hall was enough.
In less than half an hour, Chen Mo's ten thousand chips turned into five hundred thousand.
One hundred thousand, bet on tie!
On a baccarat table, Chen Mo casually threw out a hundred thousand chips.
It wasn't that Chen Mo didn't want to bet more, but the hall's betting limit was capped at one hundred thousand.
Many people gathered around the table followed suit, placing their chips as well.
Betting on a tie pays eight to one; if Chen Mo won, his hundred thousand would become eight hundred thousand.
The female dealer across from him had already started sweating on her forehead.
Chen Mo had been playing at her table for nearly ten minutes, not losing a single round.
Hurry up and open the cards!
Hurry up, don't dawdle!
Those around, whether they had bet or were just watching, kept urging him on.
The female dealer wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and tremblingly opened the cards.
Tie!
A cheer burst out from the crowd.
Chen Mo instantly became the handsomest guy in the crowd.
