~7 min read 1,383 words

While the two were chatting idly, time passed quickly; He Yi in front of the grill waved her arms and shouted to the two: "Come on! You can eat now."

Today He Yi was really happy; having a sister accompany her to play made even ordinary barbecue taste better than before, and a sip of cold beer felt awesome!

After the laughter and chatter, He Yi suddenly asked: "Brother Xin, in a few days it's the new session of the God of Gambling Competition; are you going to Ao Island?"

"If you go, I'll entertain you; I know every place on Ao Island, I'm very familiar with it."

?

Li Xin's mind was full of question marks.

He immediately asked: "Who are the seeded players?"

He Qiong explained to him: "This session of the God of Gambling Competition is jointly hosted by the world's four major gambling cities, and each region has a quota to participate."

"If we're talking about the highest expectations, that belongs to Gao Jin, who represents Gangdao in the competition."

Who is Gao Jin? He certainly knows, but only from his previous life.

He then asked: "How come I've never heard of this person?"

"Well, this Gao Jin is just somewhat famous in the gambling circle; it's normal you don't know him—there are many like him in that circle."

According to He Qiong's account, it seems to be a plot from Young Gambling God; he wants to get involved.

Not knowing the outcome is gambling; knowing the outcome is just giving him money!

As long as he doesn't ruin the table, the outside bookies won't interfere; they collect bets from around the world, and Li Xin is just playing on Ao Island for a bit.

Happy times are always short; in the end everyone left satisfied and happy.

Especially He Yi, who at parting said: "Brother Xin, if you have time next time, let's go out to sea to play again? I'm really happy."

Li Xin waved goodbye to them, smiling and saying: "Next time, I'll take you to play with guns—not the kind used in shooting club competitions, but world-famous firearms."

"Okay! It's settled then—next time you must definitely take me to see them, and you must keep your word." He Yi said happily.

He Qiong stood aside, smiling helplessly; she had no way to deal with this little sister who wouldn't grow up.

After everyone said goodbye, Li Xin had his younger brother send him back to Xi Gong; he needed to go back and prepare.

If he seizes the opportunity this time, the casinos on Ao Island could bring him substantial profits.

Xi Gong

Li Xin sat on the sofa at home, on the phone, telling Chen Yaoxing a few things.

After hanging up, he went to the fridge, took a bottle of ice water, drank it in one gulp, and felt refreshed.

Back on the sofa, he slowly recalled the plot he'd seen; the movie was actually simple—just revenge and gambling, not complicated at all.

The only thing that left a deep impression on him was that pair of hands, soaked in milk since childhood.

If he did something else…!

It should be pretty nice, right?

……

Ao Island

After receiving Big Brother's phone call, Chen Yaoxing immediately changed the odds on this round of outside bets.

Big Brother told him to only accept bets on Gao Jin's losses, while for everyone else only accept winning bets, and the odds should be a bit higher than others', but not too much higher.

Big Brother's arrangement left Chen Yaoxing puzzled, but he still carried it out meticulously.

A Hong and the others followed Chen Yaoxing, busy back and forth; after finishing the work.

Da Di furrowed his brow and said to Chen Yaoxing: "Big Brother, Lao Ding doesn't understand the situation in Gangdao; why don't you advise him?"

"Gao Jin has a high chance of winning this time; not counting the principal, his odds have reached 0.7 to 1—if Lao Ding is wrong this time, we'll lose a lot!"

Chen Yaoxing finally exploded, red-eyed staring at Da Di, and cursed: "Da Di, you fucking confused? Do you want to die?"

"How many times has this happened? Since you came to Ao Island, you've become like a different person, with no self-awareness at all."

"Last time I didn't bother with you, but you're back again? Have you had enough of good days? Do you really want to return to Gangdao to starve?"

After saying that, Chen Yaoxing slumped onto the sofa; he wanted to help his childhood friend, but he also didn't want to be abandoned by Big Brother because of Da Di.

Although he hadn't been with Big Brother long, he could sense that Big Brother wouldn't give anyone a second chance to make a mistake.

Da Di also looked aggrieved, head down, holding back a flushed face without speaking.

Wasn't he doing it for the casino's own good?

What's wrong with that?

A Hong and A Cong pulled Da Di out of the house and took him outside.

Then A Hong said: "Da Di, do you have a misunderstanding about your own status? Is Lao Ding's decision also something you can question?"

Da Di objected: "What's wrong with me? If Lao Ding's decision is wrong, do we still have to carry it out? If we lose money, isn't it still Big Brother who takes the blame?"

They've all grown up together since childhood, know each other well; Da Di is just like that—if he thinks something's right, he won't listen to anyone else.

A Cong took Da Di back to their place, poured out all his savings, and put them in Da Di's hands.

He told him: "Da Di, take this money and go back to Gangdao to start a small business; if you stay here, your personality will get you killed."

"This isn't a threat—you're too full of yourself, daring to question Lao Ding's decision! Who do you think you are?"

A Hong also took out his money, placed it in Da Di's hand, and added: "Da Di, go back to Gangdao! If even a little of what you say gets out, you won't see tomorrow's sun."

"Don't you know Lao Ding's status in the Gangdao underworld? Don't you know how terrifying Tian Hong Ge is? Don't you know how Sang Biao died?"

Da Di still refused to yield, retorting: "Aren't we our own people? Could Lao Ding really kill me? I'm doing this for his own good too!"

Chen Yaoxing came in from outside, also holding money, and placed it in Da Di's hand.

Only then did he speak: "Da Di, you're not Big Brother's own people! Only I am Big Brother's person—I have a chance to make a mistake, you don't."

"Take this money and go back to Gangdao to start a small business; don't come out to mess around anymore—you're not suited to wander the underworld. That's all I have to say; you're on your own."

After saying that, Chen Yaoxing turned and left without hesitation.

A Hong watched Big Brother leave, then explained to Da Di: "Da Di, the last time I went with Big Brother to pick up Lao Ding, he didn't even glance at me—do you know what that means?"

He quickly added: "If there were no Big Brother, we wouldn't even have the qualification to see Lao Ding! We are just Big Brother's lackeys, we have nothing to do with Lao Ding!"

"The three of us, if we violate Lao Ding's taboo, we won't even get a chance to explain; Lao Ding will directly kill us, leaving no way to survive!"

"Do you understand now? Do you still think we are on Lao Ding's side?"

"Da Di still couldn't wrap his head around this, and he loudly said: 'How is it not? When we go out, we also do things under his name, right? If we're not his own people, why would we still do things under his name?'"

"Hearing him say that, Ah Hong and Ah Chong lost all interest in talking to him."

"The two of them turned and left the room."

"Da Di, behind them, unwilling to accept, shouted: 'You watch, I, Da Di, will definitely make a name for myself!'"

"He will definitely!"
