Chapter 89: Lian Haodong lost big
At this time, besides Liu Yaozu, there were three other people at the gambling table.
One was Lian Haodong of loyalty and righteousness; another was someone Chen Mo didn't know, but who looked not very smart.
The last one was Meng Na, whose combat power reached 8,300; at this moment she was leaning against Liu Yaozu, putting on a dainty woman's act.
Seeing Chen Mo and his group enter, Meng Na even threw a flirtatious glance at Chen Mo.
The dealer at this moment was none other than Jin Shouzhi, who in the plot helped Qian Wendi cheat.
Chen Mo's timing was just right; the table had just finished a round. Chen Mo directly sat to Lian Haodong's lower side, and next to that was the person Chen Mo didn't know.
Gao Jin placed the money in front of Chen Mo, then stood directly behind him, acting as a bodyguard.
Li Li was about to leave, but Chen Mo called out to her: "Beautiful lady, don't go, come over and sit down to play together."
Saying that, Chen Mo directly grabbed Li Li's hand and had her sit to his left.
During this period, Lian Haolong repeatedly praised Chen Mo in front of Lian Haodong and even used Chen Mo to educate him.
Although Lian Haodong didn't dare to rebut Lian Haolong, it didn't stop him from being full of resentment toward Chen Mo.
Now, seeing Chen Mo appear, Lian Haodong couldn't help but sneer: "Chen Mo, you truly live up to your stableboy origins—wherever you go, you can't forget to hit on girls!"
Chen Mo didn't know why Lian Haodong held hostility toward him, but that didn't stop him from mocking back.
"Can't help it—young, strong body, too much energy, not wasting it on flirting. Unlike you, you look like you have kidney deficiency; you probably want to flirt but lack the strength."
"Are you looking for death?"
Lian Haodong was furious beyond control.
"A man—you can say anything about him, just don't say he has kidney deficiency."
Seeing the two about to fight, Liu Yaozu hurriedly urged: "Gentlemen, we're all here to play, please don't cause trouble."
"If you have any grievances, you can settle them at the gambling table."
Chen Mo shrugged: "Sure, today I'll give Boss Liu some face."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Lian Haodong, leaned back in his chair, and with one hand began stacking the cash on the table.
As for the other hand, what was it doing?
Of course, it was rubbing the thigh!
"It's only one million; it might be gone in a single hand—why stack it so neatly?"
The person sitting in Chen Mo's lower seat likewise couldn't help but mock.
There's no way around it—seeing Chen Mo with a beautiful woman beside him, he was jealous.
Everyone's here to gamble; why is the service staff's quality so poor?
"Stacking it neatly looks more comfortable. May I ask your name?"
"I'm the nine-time Singapore poker prince, Chen Congming." Chen Congming said proudly.
"As expected, the name fits the person—you look like a real smart aleck."
Chen Mo recognized him.
In the plot, he's the one Qian Wendi won so much from that he had no money to go home.
"You—"
Chen Congming still wanted to retort, but Liu Yaozu cut him off directly: "Jin Shouzhi, deal the cards!"
"Yes!"
Now they were playing stud on the table; Jin Shouzhi quickly dealt each person their hole card and first upcard.
Chen Mo's upcard was a red heart King, the highest ranking.
"The heart King speaks."
Chen Mo didn't even look at his hole card, just pushed his money forward.
"All in!"
Everyone at the table was stunned.
Who plays like that?
Not even looking at the hole card, going all in on the first upcard?
There's no way around it—earlier, when Jin Shouzhi shuffled, Chen Mo had memorized the entire order.
Chen Mo already knew exactly what cards each person would get.
But just now, Li Li beside him and the dealer Jin Shouzhi exchanged a look, and Jin Shouzhi cheated.
Chen Mo didn't need to look to know his hole card was just a 2 of diamonds.
Following the normal deal afterward, Chen Mo's best hand in this round would ultimately be just a heart King, and the eventual winner would be Liu Yaozu.
But Chen Mo now went all in directly, throwing everyone's rhythm into disarray.
There are still three cards undealt; nobody knows what they will be.
Folding now would mean losing the base stake of ten thousand.
If you follow the all in, who knows what the outcome will be.
Right now, the person with the least money on the table is Chen Mo; even Chen Congming has over five million in front of him.
Lian Haodong and Liu Yaozu have tens of millions in front of them.
They certainly don't want to lose everything right off the bat.
"I'm not calling!"
"I'm not calling!"
"Then I'm not calling either!"
The three folded; Chen Mo collected the money, winning thirty thousand in one pot.
Wasted feelings!
Chen Mo picked up the two playing cards in front of him and showed them to everyone: "Didn't expect to make thirty thousand so easily. My luck is really good."
After speaking, he casually toyed with the two playing cards in his hand for a moment, then tossed them onto the table.
The others were all thoroughly angered by Chen Mo's words.
However, Jin Shouzhi, who was standing to the side, was badly frightened, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Only because he had seen that the technique Chen Mo used to toy with those two playing cards just now was exactly the technique he himself had used to cheat and swap cards earlier.
At this point, how could he still not understand — Chen Mo was an expert.
All of his little tricks had been seen clearly by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo didn't expose him on the spot, only because this cheating technique left no evidence behind.
But the fact that Chen Mo could see through it meant he could catch him in the act.
Now he no longer dared to make any more little moves; he could only give Li Li a look that said she was on her own.
In the subsequent rounds of gambling, everything proceeded normally.
Relying on his Intermediate Gambling Skill, Chen Mo controlled the pace of the game throughout.
Half an hour passed, and the gambling money in front of Chen Mo grew more and more.
Liu Yaozu still had quite a lot of money in front of him, but Lian Haodong's and Chen Congming's money was nearly gone.
Aside from those two, even Li Li, who sat beside Chen Mo, was looking rather displeased.
Lian Haodong and Chen Congming were upset because they had lost money.
Li Li was upset because Chen Mo's hand was getting increasingly wayward.
Touching her leg was one thing, but how could he keep reaching further in!
To make matters worse, Chen Mo's grip was so strong that she couldn't fend him off.
There was nothing she could do — after all, she was the one who had just signaled Jin Shouzhi to cheat.
Doing wrong of course invited punishment.
As yet another round ended, Chen Mo once again raked the money in front of himself, leaving Lian Haodong's and Chen Congming's spots empty.
"Mr. Chen, it seems you're tonight's biggest winner!"
Liu Yaozu said to Chen Mo with a beaming smile.
He had also lost several hundred thousand, but showed not the slightest hint of displeasure.
"Can't help it — my luck has always been this good."
"Boss Liu, fetch me ten million in cash."
Lian Haodong's face had turned green from losing.
All his money had been won away by Chen Mo.
But he would not give up; he was determined to win it back.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Lian."
Liu Yaozu nodded to Meng Na beside him, and Meng Na immediately got up and arranged for an underling to fetch the money.
Lian Haodong borrowing money at his casino was nothing new — his older brother Lian Haolong would come and pay off his debts anyway.
"And the other Mr. Chen, what about you? Do you want to continue?"
"I'll pass. My luck is bad tonight. But Boss Liu, could you lend me a thousand for the boat ride?"
