Chapter 90: Just Betting on That Plot of Land

Soon, Liu Yaozu's people brought Lian Haodong ten million yuan in cash.

Liu Yaozu also topped up his own stake to ten million.

The cash in front of Chen Mo now amounted to over twenty million.

The gambling continued.

This time Lian Haodong lost even faster, not winning a single round.

If someone who didn't know saw this, they'd think he was possessed by a god of misfortune.

Little did they know, it was Chen Mo secretly manipulating things.

Each time Jin Shouzhi shuffled the cards, Chen Mo memorized the order clearly.

Based on the dealing order, Chen Mo easily figured out what cards each person would get.

Whenever the cards destined for Lian Haodong would be winning, Chen Mo would fold in advance.

As soon as Chen Mo folded, the subsequent dealing order changed.

Lian Haodong still lost.

The final result was: if Chen Mo folded, Liu Yaozu won; if Chen Mo didn't fold, Chen Mo won.

Only Lian Haodong kept losing.

Before even half an hour had passed, Lian Haodong's cash in front of him was gone again.

"Boss Liu, please bring me another ten million!"

"Mr. Lian, let's call it a night!"

This time Liu Yaozu refused Lian Haodong's request.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to lend; he had already seen that Chen Mo was targeting Lian Haodong.

After all, he runs a casino and has seen countless varieties of gambling games.

He had long noticed Chen Mo's trickery, but since he himself was also benefiting, he didn't warn Lian Haodong.

Actually Chen Mo's actions were quite obvious, but Lian Haodong had already lost his temper from losing, so he didn't think about it and just blamed his bad luck.

Liu Yaozu worried that if he kept lending money to Lian Haodong, and Chen Mo kept screwing him over, the conflict would become too big to resolve nicely.

Although he relied on the Ni Family's influence, he was still clear about his own weight.

If Lian Haodong and Chen Mo were to blow up into a huge fight, he, as a casino owner, might end up suffering an unwarranted disaster.

"What, you're worried I can't pay it back?"

Lian Haodong is now on tilt, having lost twenty million in one night, something that hasn't happened in a long time.

Especially losing to Chen Mo made him feel even more bitter inside.

"Mr. Lian is joking. With the strength of Zhongxinyi, a mere ten or twenty million is nothing to not be able to repay. But Mr. Lian, your luck tonight is bad, so don't keep grinding."

"Go back and rest tonight; maybe your luck will return tomorrow, who knows."

"Lian Haodong, if you have no money, don't gamble; what's the point of borrowing money to gamble!"

"Besides, twenty million is enough for your elder brother to earn for a long time; you should also understand him. If you keep losing, who knows, your elder brother might come to drag you back!"

Chen Mo also jeered at Lian Haodong.

"Let you see me and act all weird; now I'm going to make you furious!"

"\"Chen Mo, wait for me! \" Lian Haodong threw down a harsh remark, got up, and left with a few lackeys."

Liu Yaozu didn't lend money, his own money was also lost completely; if he didn't leave, staying here would only continue to embarrass him.

After Lian Haodong left, Liu Yaozu praised Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, you're really skilled! I didn't expect that as a member of the Triad Society, you'd have such superb gambling technique."

"Ah, I don't know any gambling techniques at all; I just have pure good luck."

"Mr. Chen is joking. Now only the two of us remain at the table; I don't know if Mr. Chen wants to keep playing."

"I'm fine with either way; anyway, I'm just here to see what it's like. Whether we continue playing depends on Boss Liu's decision."

Liu Yaozu's face still wore a grin, but inside he had already started cursing.

He considered himself no match for Chen Mo.

His earlier question was just hoping Chen Mo would quit while ahead and leave voluntarily.

Who would have thought Chen Mo wouldn't take the bait at all.

Now he realized Chen Mo wasn't here to play at all.

"Since Mr. Chen is interested, let's keep playing!"

Saying that, Liu Yaozu subtly tapped his foot beside Meng Na.

"\"Meng Na, go get another ten million for me. \""

"\"Sure! \""

This time Meng Na didn't send a lackey; she got up herself and went personally.

A few minutes later, Meng Na returned to the gambling table with a tray of cash and lightly nodded at Liu Yaozu.

Chen Mo saw it, but didn't think much of their little gestures.

The gambling continued.

This time, with no one else around, Chen Mo also lost the inclination to play slowly.

On the table, Liu Yaozu got three tens of spades, clubs, and diamonds.

In front of Chen Mo were the 7, 8, and 9 of hearts.

"\"Straight flush! \""

"\"Ten million! \" Chen Mo calmly pushed out a stack of cash."

"\"Mr. Chen, betting this big, are you confident you can get a straight flush? \""

Liu Yaozu narrowed his eyes, not knowing what trick Chen Mo was up to.

Previous bets were in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, at most a few million.

There's still one card undealt, yet Chen Mo is making such a big move; where does he get the confidence to get a straight flush?

"I've always believed in my luck!" Chen Mo said in a very calm tone.

"Okay, I'll call your ten million." Liu Yaozu is equally confident about his hand.

Jin Shouzhi dealt the last card.

Chen Mo got a six of hearts, Liu Yaozu got a five of hearts.

"It seems Mr. Chen's luck isn't always that good."

Liu Yaozu confidently picked up the five of hearts.

The five of hearts is in his hand; for Chen Mo to get a straight flush, he must get the ten of hearts.

But unfortunately, his hole card is exactly the ten of hearts.

"In that case, Boss Liu, are you interested in making a big bet?"

Chen Mo appeared composed, showing no sign of wanting to lose.

"How big a bet does Mr. Chen want?"

Liu Yaozu is already convinced that Chen Mo is just trying to bluff.

"I still have about twenty million on the table; how about using it to bet on Boss Liu's Tunmen land?"

"So that's it—you've always wanted that land!"

Now Liu Yaozu knows Chen Mo's purpose for coming tonight.

That plot of land was also obtained by Liu Yaozu from his wife earlier; it's about several dozen Chinese feet, and its current value is still under twenty million.

But now land prices in Gangdao are still rising steadily; no one knows how high they'll go in a few years.

Although Liu Yaozu has no intention of developing this plot, in a few years the mere increase in land value will be enough for him to make a fortune.

So Liu Yaozu never intended to sell the land.

But now Chen Mo is obviously bluffing; as long as he puts up the land, the tens of millions in his hand will all be his.

He was greedy.

"Okay! Let's bet on that land." Liu Yaozu agreed, turning to the nearby Meng Na and saying, "Meng Na, go prepare a land transfer agreement."

While Meng Na went to prepare the transfer agreement, Chen Mo stood up and stretched.

"Sitting for so long is tiring, Boss Liu; let's seal the cards and take a break."

Liu Yaozu had no suspicions, nodded, and arranged the casino lackeys: "Seal the cards!"

Soon, two lackeys came over with two metal covers, covering the two persons' cards.

Chen Mo rose from the gambling table and began to move his limbs.

Several minutes later, Meng Na returned to Liu Yaozu's side with a tray.

On the tray lay a freshly printed document and a signing pen.

Liu Yaozu took the document, looked it over, picked up the pen, and signed his name.

"Would Mr. Chen like to take a look?"

"Sure!"

Before Chen Mo could sit back down, he walked straight to the two of them, picked up the document, and began to read.

"Not bad, very good."

Chen Mo picked up the pen, about to bend over to sign the document.

As long as he wins this transfer agreement, Chen Mo can have that plot of land legally transferred into his name.

At the instant Chen Mo bent over, Liu Yaozu instinctively pressed down on the card cover, fearing Chen Mo might tamper.

After Chen Mo finished signing, he straightened up: "Boss Liu, you don't need to be so careful. I didn't touch your cards."
