Chapter 237: Lin Ho-tung is Stunned!
Lam Wai Lok looked at everyone in disbelief:
"You all..."
Lok Chi-ming said with a straight face:
"Didn't you question if Brother Feng could win? So it's fine if you stick to your opinion, right?"
Axe Jun smiled:
"You questioned if Brother Feng could win, so it's fine if a few more people bet against you, right?"
Big D nodded repeatedly:
"That's right!"
Big Ds Wife was very distressed. Big D was arrogant, but he still listened to advice.
He was just easily influenced by other people's opinions.
As long as others made sense, he would agree.
Just like the current situation.
If he encountered those without ill intentions, it was naturally fine.
But if he encountered those with ulterior motives, it would naturally be the death of Big D.
Fortunately, Big D was about to transfer to Hung Hing soon. Luckily, Big D had a good relationship with Liang Kun and Lin Feng.
Big Ds Wife only hoped that time would pass faster, and Big D would complete the plan to transfer to Hung Hing soon, otherwise, she would be constantly on edge and couldn't sleep well at night!
Lam Wai Lok looked at everyone in surprise:
"You all really believe Lin Feng?"
Everyone said in unison:
"I believe him!"
Lam Wai Lok gave a dry laugh and was about to speak when Hon Ban slowly said:
"At least you're a hall master of Wo Luen Shing's Jordan. You wouldn't be trying to say that what you just said was a joke, would you?"
"If that's the case, then you've offended us."
Lok Chi-ming and Axe Jun nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly!"
Hu Xu Yong felt very subtle.
The relationship between the Number Gang and Hung Hing was both good and bad, the reason being that the Number Gang was quite special.
The current Number Gang had no Dragon Head, and the power of the headquarters was in the hands of three Big Brothers.
The Number Gang never worried about strong men rising and having no positions to arrange for them.
In other Triads, if a strong man rose, how to arrange him was an extremely headache-inducing matter.
But in the Number Gang, this matter was very simple.
Under the Number Gang, they just needed to establish a new faction.
If you could fight your way out, that was your ability.
If you couldn't, then you were out of luck.
The famous Thirteen Protectors of Tsz Wan Shan entered the Number Gang in this way.
However, without management ability, these people were eventually forced to change professions.
Just like Hu Xu Yong, he was the actual person in charge of a faction.
In his territory, he could do whatever he wanted, even the three Big Bosses at the headquarters found it difficult to control him.
In other words, the current form of the Number Gang, rather than being called a Triad, was more like a loose alliance of Triads.
Big D once considered the Number Gang, but after transferring to the Number Gang, everything would depend on himself.
What was the point of that?
For example, Mo Chiu-Nam, the 'Cannon' of the Number Gang, was thrown into Tsim Sha Tsui by the Number Gang to fend for himself. What happened in the end? He is now Liang Kun's personal bodyguard.
Hu Xu Yong had a good relationship with Hung Hing, and this time he was assigned to a table with people who had a very close relationship with Hung Hing.
Thus, he enjoyed a grand show.
Seeing Lam Wai Lok about to back down, Hu Xu Yong's heart stirred, and he spoke:
"Ah Le, this matter is your fault."
"Today is Hung Hing's venue, Brother Kun's big day."
"You didn't congratulate him, and your words were full of provocation."
"This is not the way a guest should behave."
"You started it, so you have to finish it. If we have to finish it for you, the consequences are not something you can bear."
"You, don't mind if I also join the gambling game, do you?"
Lam Wai Lok was stunned!
What, you too?
Good heavens, how many Triads were at this table?
Besides himself, everyone else from the other Triads wanted to gamble against him. What the hell was this?
Lam Wai Lok keenly sensed trouble!
He had originally intended to find fault—this was actually Uncle Deng's fault.
Uncle Deng had told him early on that Lin Feng of Hung Hing was more talented and stronger than him, and would be Lam Wai Lok's biggest opponent.
Lam Wai Lok had developed a bad impression of Lin Feng early on.
This was exactly like how we dislike "other people's children."
After a deeper understanding, he disliked him even more!
Lin Feng was handsome and rich, and he was only twenty years old!
Lam Wai Lok was already middle-aged, yet he couldn't compare to a young man?
How could he tolerate this?
Lam Wai Lok genuinely felt that he was no worse than Lin Feng, so he naturally seized the opportunity to stir up trouble.
However, he never expected that the fire would burn him.
Chuen Bo was such a shrewd person. Seeing Lam Wai Lok about to back down, he stared with wide eyes and said:
"Ah Le, are you really going to back down?"
Lam Wai Lok cursed under his breath.
Sun Luen Shing, Hung Hing, Sun Yee On, the Number Gang, plus Wo Luen Shing's biggest hall master Big D, were all supporting Lin Feng. Only he was against Lin Feng.
How the hell was he supposed to play this?
However, Hu Xu Yong was right, he started the matter, so he'd better finish it himself. If he really let them finish it, the one who would suffer wouldn't be anyone else, but himself.
He forced a smile and said:
"Gambling tables never allow credit..."
"Empty words won't do."
Lok Chi-ming laughed loudly:
"You should have said so earlier!"
He quickly pulled out a pen and wrote a check.
"I'm not as rich as Benny, so a million will do as a gesture."
Axe Jun and Hu Xu Yong were not far behind, also writing checks for a million.
Sister Thirteen smiled:
"Hold on, Ah Feng is one of us from Hung Hing, I have to support him, so let's make it two million."
Big D wished everyone knew he was transferring to Hung Hing, and also said:
"I'll go with Benny and Sister, and put in two million as well."
Lam Wai Lok was stunned. Good heavens, that's nine million?
If he won, he would earn nearly ten million.
If he lost, his net worth would be cut in half!
Silence!
Lam Wai Lok was uncharacteristically silent.
For the first time, he witnessed how terrifying Lin Feng's popularity was.
For the first time, he knew what it meant to suffer for speaking carelessly.
Sister Thirteen pulled out a Camel cigarette and lit it:
"Ah Le, you were very arrogant just now, and everyone is unhappy."
"We're just playing a small game."
"This isn't even ten million yet..."
"Are you afraid to accept?"
"Among Wo Luen Shing, you, Jordan's Ah Le, are as famous as Tsuen Wan's Big D. Don't tarnish Big D's reputation!"
Big D's spirits immediately soared.
That's right, what kind of Ah Le is he? Can he compare to me, Tsuen Wan's Big D?
Sister Thirteen has good judgment!
Lam Wai Lok watched, cursing silently. If there were no one else, Big D would definitely be under his thumb.
If it were purely Hung Hing people, Lam Wai Lok could just renege.
Unfortunately, there were not only Hung Hing members here, but also people from Sun Luen Shing, Sun Yee On, and the Number Gang.
He couldn't back out!
I'll risk it!
Lam Wai Lok's gloomy gaze flashed and disappeared.
You're forcing me, are you?
I'll remember this!
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but don't fall into my hands.
Otherwise, you'll have a day of regret.
Lam Wai Lok made up his mind, immediately pulled out his checkbook, and resolutely wrote a check for nine million.
Slap!
He placed it on the table.
"Gambling doesn't necessarily mean losing. Ah Feng has never shown his gambling skills, and I really don't believe he can beat Lin Ho-tung!"
"Thank you for giving me money."
Hon Ban smiled:
"Now that's the style of Jordan's Ah Le."
"I'm very sorry to tell you, Lin Ho-tung is already doubting life."
What?
Lam Wai Lok quickly turned his head and saw Lin Ho-tung staring at the cards in front of him in disbelief, in a daze.
What the hell was going on?
Hon Ban shrugged and casually said:
"Didn't Ah Feng say he could easily distinguish Lin Ho-tung's hole cards?"
"Lin Ho-tung didn't believe him."
"Just now, he experimented with three cards."
"One was an eight of clubs, one was a queen of clubs, and one was an ace of diamonds. All were found."
"It's that simple."
Impossible!
Lam Wai Lok turned pale with fright.
Impossible!
Lin Ho-tung was doubting life:
"How did you distinguish them?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Didn't I tell you? I just need to feel the cards, and I'll know what a certain card is."
Lin Ho-tung gritted his teeth:
"I don't believe you!"
"If you have the ability, find the remaining three aces!"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Ah Dong, today is Brother Kun's big day, and you are a guest who came to congratulate him. Why don't you just leave early?"
"Lest we hurt the harmony between our two families."
Lin Ho-tung snorted coldly:
"You are doubting my character. Gambling character is like human character, and I have always been very good."
"This is a matter between the two of us, unrelated to the two Triads."
Lin Ho-lung said at the appropriate moment:
"Ah Feng, if you have the ability, you can win all the money on Ah Dong."
"That's a private matter between the two of you."
"It has nothing to do with the Triads."
Lin Ho-tung's eyes were red, staring intently at Lin Feng:
"Ah Feng, did you hear that?"
"If you have the ability, you can find the three aces."
"There are two million on the table, and my Big Brother also supports me with five million."
"If you have the ability, win all seven million!"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"This is the first time I've heard such a request."
"Everyone in the Triad world is watching, so don't say I'm not giving you face."
At that, Lin Feng deftly drew three cards, not flipping them, and pushed them straight in front of Lin Ho-tung.
"Here, open them yourself!"
Lin Ho-tung was not giving up.
He opened them one by one.
When the first card was revealed, his pupils immediately contracted, and the crowd around the card table erupted in an uproar.
It was a Heart A!
Lin Ho-tung then revealed the second card, and the uproar grew even louder.
It was a Club A!
Lin Ho-tung looked at Lin Feng as if he had seen a ghost, and the latter urged nonchalantly:
"There's still one more, open it!"
Lin Ho-tung hesitated to open it!
Lin Feng said playfully:
"Why aren't you daring to open it?"
"Don't tell me you suspect I tampered with the cards."
"Those cards have been sitting on the table."
"Everyone is behind us; they can clearly see any small movements we make."
Everyone nodded involuntarily.
Although they were all part of the Triad, they understood the tricks of gambling; even if they weren't masters of cheating, they knew about them.
If Lin Feng had truly used sleight of hand, he would have been exposed long ago.
Especially the older generation who had been around for a long time; they had seen many things.
Furthermore, it was Liang Kun's big day. If Lin Feng were to cheat on such a day, it would be an embarrassment to Liang Kun and also to Hung Hing.
Given Lin Feng's reputation in the Triad world, it would definitely be a case of gaining little and losing much.
Lin Ho-tung gritted his teeth and flipped the last card.
Silence fell over the surroundings.
The card was indeed the last A—the Spade A!
Everyone looked at Lin Feng as if they had seen a ghost.
Four Aces, and he had truly found them all, not a single mistake.
Lam Wai Lok swayed slightly, muttering:
"Impossible!"
How the hell could a human being do this?
Lam Wai Lok had watched the entire process, personally seeing Lin Feng merely weigh the cards, then place them in the center of the table without moving them again.
How could he have cheated?
Big D exclaimed:
"Ah Feng is really amazing!"
Sister Thirteen said in surprise:
"Is Ah Feng just amazing? This skill is practically comparable to the God of Gamblers."
Hu Xu Yong couldn't help but ask:
"Ah Feng has this skill, why haven't we heard about it before?"
Hon Ban shrugged:
"We are Young and Dangerous, not professional gamblers."
"Even if Ah Feng knows how to gamble, what then?"
"Are we supposed to learn from professional gamblers and gamble against people?"
"Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"
Lok Chi-ming looked at Lam Wai Lok and smiled:
"Ah Le, thank you for sending us money."
"You truly are a good person."
Axe Jun laughed:
"Ah Lok is right, Lok Siu, you really are a good person."
Lam Wai Lok said expressionlessly:
"The game hasn't even started yet; just because there's a bet doesn't mean it's lost."
"It's still too early to tell who will win or lose."
Everyone exchanged glances, smiling without a word.
Actually, these people supported Lin Feng simply because Lin Feng's credibility had been strong before.
They inexplicably believed that anything Lin Feng said would definitely be accomplished.
Therefore, their trust in Lin Feng was almost unconditional.
Now it seemed Lin Feng had absolutely not let down their trust.
Lin Ho-tung stared intently at the cards in front of him, then at Lin Feng's hand, utterly bewildered:
"How did you do that?"
Lin Feng did not answer him directly,
"The first time I touched cards was three years ago. When I touched them, I strangely felt that I could easily distinguish each card."
"It's too simple!"
"The weight of each card is actually quite similar."
"Excluding the two Jokers, the remaining cards have subtle weight differences due to their different suits and colors."
"Anyone good at arithmetic can do a mental calculation and know exactly what suit these cards are."
"For example…"
Lin Feng casually drew three cards,
"This card is the lightest, it should be a 2, and the suit, well, Diamonds!"
Lin Ho-tung eagerly flipped it open and was stunned.
It was indeed a Diamond 2.
"This one is the heaviest, it should be a K, and the suit, well, Spades!"
Lin Ho-tung flipped it open to verify, and it was true.
"This card is of average weight, but in my eyes, it's very clear."
"Club Ten!"
Lin Ho-tung, not giving up, flipped it open again, and sure enough, it was a Club Ten.
The hall erupted in an uproar.
Faced with Lin Feng's miraculous skill, no one could remain indifferent.
Lin Ho-tung was completely numb. He quickly picked up the three cards, weighed them, and looked at Lin Feng in disbelief:
"You can really distinguish the weight of these three cards?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Isn't that a very simple thing?"
Simple my foot!
Why can't I tell the difference?
Lin Ho-tung was questioning his life.
Lin Feng leisurely pulled out his cigar case. Li Fu immediately stepped forward to cut his cigar, then lit it.
"I don't play cards!"
"The reason is simple: there's no difficulty at all, no challenge at all. I can't experience that addictive pleasure."
"So… even my boss doesn't know I can play cards."
"Ah Dong, let's call it quits, don't gamble anymore."
Liang Kun said to Lin Ho-lung with considerable pride:
"My younger brother is quite something, isn't he?"
"He clearly knows he's going to win, yet he's still persuading your Ah Dong to stop."
Lin Ho-lung nodded repeatedly:
"That's right, what they say in the Triad world is indeed true, Ah Feng is truly righteous and noble."
"If it were anyone else, facing these seven million, they wouldn't be so indifferent!"
"Ah Kun, whether this gamble proceeds or not, I, Lin Ho-lung, acknowledge this favor!"
He pushed the check in front of him,
"Take this!"
Liang Kun shook his head:
"You have great magnanimity, do you think I, Liang Kun, don't?"
"If the gamble continues, then you can give me the money after it ends, it won't be too late."
"If the gamble doesn't start, then what we discussed before doesn't count. I won't accept this money."
Lin Ho-lung said angrily:
"Are you really so sure Ah Feng will win?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Isn't that obvious?"
At another table, Big D sighed:
"Ah Feng is indeed unparalleled in loyalty, still advising Lin Ho-tung even in a guaranteed winning game."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lam Wai Lok's heart sank.
"Nonsense, unparalleled loyalty!"
"This is a tactic of feigning retreat to advance, and letting go to capture."
"In this situation, how can Lin Ho-tung back down?"
"He definitely has to keep gambling!"
While everyone else praised Lin Feng, only Lam Wai Lok firmly believed Lin Feng had ulterior motives.
He was too familiar with this kind of ploy.
Lin Ho-tung was now in a dilemma.
If he retreated, it would certainly solidify Lin Feng's reputation for loyalty and righteousness, but what about Lin Ho-tung's own reputation?
"I shouldn't have provoked him; now I've shot myself in the foot."
Lam Wai Lok was full of regret,
"If only I had understood both parties' characters before trying to provoke them."
"I was too rash!"
Lok Siu had a bad feeling; those nine million in money were probably going to say goodbye to him!
It was truly agonizing!
Indeed, just as Lam Wai Lok expected, Lin Ho-tung said with bloodshot eyes:
"You can only distinguish the bottom cards, but your gambling skills might not be that clever."
"I want to gamble with you!"
Lin Feng kindly advised:
"Let's not gamble anymore."
Lin Ho-tung was very firm:
"A man of his word, once spoken, cannot be unsaid."
Lin Feng advised again:
"Let's not gamble anymore?"
Lin Ho-tung said angrily:
"Gamble!"
"But we need to use a different deck of cards, a deck I brought myself!"
He truly loved gambling, even carrying playing cards with him.
This was an unopened deck of cards.
Lin Ho-tung threw it to Lin Feng:
"Check it, is it unopened?"
Lin Feng weighed it, confirming it was indeed unopened.
Lin Ho-tung quickly snatched the cards back. Regardless of whether the other party could truly identify cards by weight, he would absolutely not give him that chance.
He opened the wrapper, removed the Jokers, and Lin Feng took the box and casually tossed it into the trash can.
Lin Ho-tung shuffled the cards and handed them to Lin Feng:
"I'm a man who follows rules. I shuffled the cards, you can deal."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"I want to cut the cards!"
Lin Ho-tung nodded repeatedly:
"Alright!"
But he also had his own condition,
"We won't play Stud, we'll play Golden Flower!"
Lin Feng was noncommittal. After cutting the cards, he placed them directly on the table, casually dividing them into two piles:
"Let's begin!"

Chapter 238: Lin Feng's Luck is Really Good
"Why the long face?"
Liang Kun looked at Lin Ho-lung strangely; the Chung Yee Shun Dragon Head's face was terrifyingly dark.
"Ah Dong is too much of a gambler."
"If you had a younger brother like that, wouldn't you get a headache?"
Liang Kun heard this and thought seriously,
"It is indeed quite a headache."
"However…"
Lin Ho-lung frowned and said:
"However, what?"
Liang Kun was very candid:
"We are all scoundrels who came out to mix, and no one has the right to mock anyone else."
"Everyone is like this!"
"You think Ah Dong's gambling is a huge flaw, but honestly, how many people in all of Hong Kong don't like to gamble?"
"Aren't the mahjong parlors everywhere proof of that?"
"Even at a wedding, there's a card table, called a hobby."
"A Long, aren't you being too nervous?"
Lin Ho-lung was startled. Then he got angry:
"You almost tricked me. Playing a few hands casually is no problem at all."
"Ah Dong is different; he doesn't just play a few hands. He'll even gamble his life."
"This kind of thing is not allowed."
Liang Kun shrugged and stopped talking.
This was indeed a troublesome matter.
Lin Ho-lung earnestly said:
"Ah Kun, you must talk to Ah Feng, give Ah Dong an unforgettable lesson, make him feel ashamed whenever he thinks about it, and ideally, make him quit gambling."
Liang Kun gave a thumbs up:
"As an elder brother, you truly care for your younger brother!"
Lin Ho-lung said indifferently:
"When I started out, he was still in school. Because of me, he didn't study well."
"As a result, he dropped out of school and followed me into this life."
Liang Kun was unconvinced:
"Everyone has their own destiny. If you hadn't come out to mix, Ah Dong would have starved to death long ago."
Lin Ho-lung sighed:
"My parents passed away early; I watched this guy grow up. Of course, I hope he can live a better life."
"Coming out to mix, fighting and killing are nothing. What I'm afraid of is something else."
Liang Kun asked:
"What is it?"
Lin Ho-lung said indifferently:
"Everyone has flaws, but someone whose flaws are as prominent as his is rare."
"If someone uses this as a breakthrough to deal with him, Ah Dong won't be able to refuse."
"Just like now, your Ah Feng has reminded him time and again to stop gambling, but he won't listen."
"Ah Dong takes Ah Feng's deference as a provocation."
"He thinks Ah Feng is just provoking him, making him jump down step by step."
"My younger brother never admits defeat; he will definitely prove Ah Feng wrong."
Liang Kun thought to himself, Lin Ho-tung was not wrong. Lin Feng, that kid, was indeed enticing Lin Ho-tung to keep gambling step by step.
On the surface, Lin Feng always advised him, always for Lin Ho-tung's good.
However, Liang Kun, who had raised Lin Feng since he was young, knew very well that this was because Lin Feng had grasped Lin Ho-tung's personality in a short time. Every step of Lin Feng's deference was a strategic retreat to advance.
His goal was to firmly hold Lin Ho-tung in the palm of his hand.
While Lin Ho-tung's gambling nature was certainly a factor, the biggest role was actually played by Lin Feng's planning.
This had nothing to do with Lin Ho-tung's gambling nature.
It was purely the result of Lin Feng's strategizing.
Of course, in Lin Ho-lung's eyes, Lin Ho-tung was beyond saving!
Liang Kun was happy for the other party to think so.
Brothers for life, he understood Lin Feng too well.
The only reason this good brother was still in the underworld was because of himself.
Otherwise, he would have left the underworld long ago and started making legitimate money.
Of course, even in the underworld, Lin Feng didn't earn less money, but the money earned was ultimately not as much as from doing legitimate business.
Lin Feng had once explained probability theory to him, which Liang Kun didn't understand.
But he understood one principle: in terms of the scale and speed of making money, no illicit business could compare to legitimate business.
After all, the probabilities were there.
Making money is an extremely scientific matter.
Liang Kun was slightly lost in thought. After the Hung Hing matters were all dealt with, the reorganization would be put on the agenda.
When you're out mixing, making money comes first.
If you don't pursue such a safe and fast way to make money, aren't you foolish?
Most importantly, the method Ah Feng proposed, he, Liang Kun, could see through and understand at a glance.
He wouldn't be completely in the dark.
At that time, he could even bring in the Chiang Tin-Sung and Chiang Tin-Yeung brothers to do it together.
Hmm, that's how it will be done.
Suddenly, a voice pulled him back to reality:
"Ah Dong, you've made your demand, so I must also state mine."
Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry to deal the cards, smiling as he presented his suggestion.
Lin Ho-tung stared intently at Lin Feng, not understanding what the other party was going to do now:
"As long as it doesn't go against righteousness, whatever you want to do is fine by me."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Since we're both making it so formal, why don't we invite an elder to be the referee?"
Huh?
Lin Ho-tung immediately said:
"Okay!"
Lin Feng turned his head and shouted:
"Master Shen, are you interested in presiding over a round for us?"
Master Shen laughed and scolded:
"You two are both prominent figures in the underworld, do you still need supervision?"
Lin Ho-tung smiled and said:
"Please, Master Shen, if you would."
Master Shen clapped his hands and said:
"Of course."
Spectators are everywhere in the world, and people in the underworld particularly enjoy it.
After all, the main business of the Young and Dangerous is to watch.
Master Shen left his seat and came to the two of them, saying:
"The game is 'Three Card Poker,' with a betting limit of five million."
"If you wish to exceed the limit, in addition to the two of you discussing it, you will also need the consent of the Hung Hing and Chung Yee Shun Leaders."
"Today is the Hung Hing Chairman Liang Kun's joyous day, so a small gamble for entertainment."
"No cheating in the game; offenders will be beheaded!"
Lin Ho-tung said speechlessly:
"Master Shen, since you're personally supervising, who would dare to cheat?"
Master Shen smiled and said:
"The game time is one hour."
"No waiting after that!"
Lin Ho-tung smiled and said:
"Don't worry, it won't take an hour, at most… half an hour and I'll end this game."
Master Shen asked:
"The game is 'Three Card Poker'."
"Three of a kind is the highest, followed by a straight flush, with the same rules as regular Three Card Poker."
"Oh, and 2-3-5 of mixed suits beats three of a kind."
"Do either of you have any objections?"
Lin Feng and Lin Ho-tung both shook their heads:
"None!"
Master Shen laughed and said:
"I'm not a professional gambling referee, and neither of you are professional gamblers. Close enough is good enough; don't worry about the rest!"
Lin Feng and Lin Ho-tung both nodded.
That hit the nail on the head.
Master Shen clapped his hands and said: "All friends and fellow members of the underworld are impatient. Please begin."
Lin Ho-tung gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Feng:
"Ah Feng, didn't you say you wanted to win all my money? Deal the cards!"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Ah Dong, one last piece of advice…"
Lin Ho-tung was furious:
"Master Shen is here, and we're already at the gambling table. What are you still babbling about?"
Lin Feng raised both hands:
"Alright, alright, then let's begin."
He made a gesture, actually rolling up his sleeves.
Lin Ho-tung frowned:
"Ah Feng, what are you going to do?"
Lin Feng said truthfully:
"My gambling skills are so formidable that I even scare myself. I need to expose my hands and arms so you don't misunderstand my technique later and suspect me of cheating!"
Lin Ho-tung was so angry his mouth almost twisted.
Arrogant!
How incredibly arrogant!
Lam Wai Lok's mouth also twisted in anger,
Arrogant!
How incredibly arrogant!
He had never seen anyone so arrogant!
Lam Wai Lok's eyes blazed with fire:
"Ah Dong, you must win against him."
"If you win against him, I'll give you a quarter of these stakes!"
Of course, this sentence dared not be spoken openly, only secretly.
Lin Ho-tung took a deep breath:
"Ah Feng, don't be too arrogant!"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I'm young. If I'm not arrogant now, should I wait until I'm old to be arrogant?"
Hiss!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
Lin Ho-tung gritted his teeth and said:
"Deal the cards!"
Lin Feng sighed again:
"I've never seen anyone so eager to lose!"
Lin Ho-tung's eyes seemed to spit fire, staring intently at Lin Feng's hands, wanting to see what tricks the other party could pull.
But the result completely surprised him.
Lin Feng actually extended one finger and began dealing cards with a single finger technique!
Lin Ho-tung looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression.
You said so many grand words before, making me think you were going to cheat, and then you give me this?
With one finger touching the cards, you probably can't even guess what the cards are. How could you cheat?
If he could still cheat under these circumstances, then Lin Ho-tung wouldn't be wronged in losing!
Lin Ho-tung didn't notice that his mind had completely relaxed.
Lin Feng slowly and steadily dealt the cards.
Master Shen said:
"Gentlemen, you may look at your cards and place your bets!"
Lin Ho-tung hadn't made a move yet when Lin Feng lazily said:
"Ah Dong, give up!"
"You've already lost!"
Lin Ho-tung glanced at him disdainfully. Big liar! Big talker!
He thought he actually had some tricks up his sleeve.
But it turns out to be just this?
Anyone who's spent time in a casino wouldn't believe you could switch cards.
My eyes were on you the entire time, I didn't even blink.
Since you can't cheat, then the rest is up to luck and skill!
Lin Ho-tung completely relaxed.
He carefully picked up three cards and slowly opened them.
Boom!
Lin Ho-tung's heart almost leaped out of his chest.
If he wasn't in a gambling game, he would have almost started dancing with joy.
This was a Heaven Card!
K-Q-J, all of hearts!
A Straight Flush!
And it was almost a top-tier Straight Flush.
It could practically wipe out any other hand.
Lin Ho-tung used his utmost willpower to act as if nothing was amiss.
"Ah Feng, aren't you going to look at your cards?"
His voice was forcedly calm, afraid of scaring Lin Feng away!
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I'm definitely going to win."
Lin Ho-tung was furious. I have the Hung Hing's K-Q-J in my hand, and you want to win against me?
You must be dreaming!
Later, I'll make you beg for mercy on your knees!
Lin Ho-tung thought about it, and endured!
Playing cards requires skill!
Don't scare away the fat sheep in front of you.
Lin Ho-tung tentatively stated a number:
"Two hundred thousand!"
Next, it depended on whether Lin Feng would call or fold, or open his cards.
This was crucial. It was true that he had a good hand, but if the opponent didn't cooperate, making money wouldn't be easy.
He could only make money if the opponent was willing to call.
Otherwise, it would be impossible!
To his surprise, Lin Feng looked at him strangely:
"Ah Dong, with your two hundred thousand per round, when will we ever finish?"
"You're the second-in-command of Chung Yee Shun, after all. You're too stingy."
"I'll call your two hundred thousand, and I'll raise you five hundred thousand!"
"Stop being so long-winded and slow, I want to see your cards!"
Good!
The Hung Hing bigwigs watching all clapped and cheered.
They didn't understand the gambling game at all, but they had confidence in Lin Feng!
They didn't need to worry about anything else, just believe that Lin Feng would win!
Lin Ho-tung was so angry!
He had the K-Q-J of hearts in his hand, almost an unbeatable hand.
He was just playing the long game to catch a big fish, but in the eyes of the Hung Hing crowd, he looked like a nobody?
So infuriating!
Don't be angry, don't be angry!
Lin Ho-tung desperately tried to calm himself down.
The guy in front of him was a fat sheep. If he won against him, his boss could also win a sum from Liang Kun.
A little insult… it was nothing at all.
He couldn't scare away the big fat sheep!
Lin Ho-tung took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled:
"Ah Feng, seventy thousand isn't enough to see my cards."
"I'll call your fifty thousand, and I'll raise you back fifty thousand!"
"I want to see your cards!"
Lin Ho-tung clenched his hands, feeling a bit nervous.
He didn't know if Lin Feng would call or not.
He was holding the K-Q-J of hearts!
Clap, clap, clap!
Lin Feng actually clapped his hands.
"How refreshing!"
"That's how it should be!"
"I'll call your fifty thousand, and then raise you eighty thousand."
"Two million a round, are you going to open your cards?"
The crowd was in an uproar.
No one expected the first hand to be so exciting.
The bigwigs present had money, but gambling two million, to be honest, was particularly painful.
Lin Ho-tung's mouth twitched slightly. It wasn't pain, it was extreme excitement.
He had a premonition that this hand would cap out at two million.
It was practically impossible to exceed two million.
Lin Ho-tung was of course a little regretful, but not much.
So he said decisively:
"Let's go for two million this round!"
After speaking, he didn't give Lin Feng any time to regret, and quickly opened his cards like lightning,
"My hand isn't big, K-Q-J of hearts, a Straight Flush!"
The hall was silent!
Master Shen fixed his gaze, and immediately announced,
"Lin Ho-tung's hole cards are K-Q-J of hearts, a Straight Flush!"
This was almost a guaranteed win in Stud Poker.
The Hung Hing bigwigs looked at each other, all feeling uncomfortable.
Lam Wai Lok was overjoyed, almost dancing with joy, but he still wanted to maintain some composure:
"Your vision is not as good as mine. I told you Ah Dong would win against Ah Feng."
Big D was so angry he almost hit someone, Hon Ban smiled and said:
"It's not good to jump to conclusions so early. Did you forget, Ah Feng's cards haven't been opened yet!"
Lam Wai Lok was unimpressed,
"In this situation, does it make any difference whether they're open or not?"
Hon Ban mocked:
"Ah Feng's cards haven't been opened. Does Ah Dong dare to collect the money on the table?"
Lam Wai Lok remained silent.
Of course, he wouldn't dare.
If Lin Ho-tung dared to take it, others would dare to chop him.
Lam Wai Lok didn't understand this rule, but Lin Ho-tung understood it very well,
"Ah Feng, open your cards."
Lin Feng lazily puffed on his cigar,
"Ah Dong, to prevent you from saying I cheated, why don't you open my hole cards for me?"
Lin Ho-tung was exasperated.
He had never seen anyone so pretentious.
Are you saying you've got me cornered?
My hole cards are already revealed — K-Q-J of hearts, a Straight Flush!
What hand could possibly beat mine?
If I hadn't been watching you the whole time, I would have thought you'd already looked at your hole cards.
You haven't even looked at any cards, and you dare to say you'll win against me?
This is only at the gambling table. If it were in any other setting, just based on your attitude, we'd both be fighting!
It's so infuriating!
Lin Ho-tung endured and endured — there was a big fat sheep in front of him. After winning these two million, the opponent still had five million!
Endure!
He forcefully suppressed his anger and turned to ask Master Shen:
"Master Shen, can I open Ah Feng's cards?"
Master Shen saw no objection:
"If Ah Feng agrees, of course you can open his cards."
Master Shen was actually also annoyed internally.
Lin Feng's attitude was too arrogant!
You say you didn't look at your cards the whole time, what are you trying to show off for?
The other person has K-Q-J of hearts, a Straight Flush!
And such a big Straight Flush!
You're almost guaranteed to lose.
How can you still act so big?
Not to mention Lin Ho-tung, even Master Shen was annoyed with Lin Feng!
As soon as Master Shen finished speaking, Lin Ho-tung eagerly flipped open Lin Feng's cards.
He laughed at the first card,
Two of clubs!
The second card made him burst into laughter even more.
Three of clubs!
He didn't even need to look at the last card, he casually flipped it over… No!
Lin Ho-tung looked at the card he had flipped over as if he had seen a ghost.
It was also a club.
But this card was an Ace!
He had the K-Q-J of hearts, and the opponent had A-2-3 of clubs!
This must be a ghost!
Lin Feng's lazy voice drifted over:
"Ah Dong, I told you not to gamble with me."
"My gambling skills even scare myself."
"You can't win against me."
"See, you lost, didn't you?"
"Master Shen, can you make the judgment now?"
Master Shen's eyeballs almost popped out.
This was insane!
He had watched the whole time.
Lin Feng had dealt the cards with just one finger, then stayed far away from the table, and even his opponent helped him open his cards.
How could he possibly cheat like this?
Master Shen looked deeply at Lin Feng and said loudly:
"Lin Ho-tung's hole cards are K-Q-J of hearts, a Straight Flush."
"Lin Feng's hole cards are A-2-3 of clubs, a Straight Flush."
"First round, Lin Feng wins!"
The Hung Hing bigwigs all cheered!
Anyway, there was nothing else to say, Brother Feng is awesome!
Big D laughed arrogantly:
"Lok Siu, you were right, there's gambling but not necessarily losing. It turns out you lost, and Ah Feng won."
Lam Wai Lok's face was so dark it looked like water could be squeezed out of it.
Who would have thought this?
K-Q-J could actually lose?
What was especially annoying was that Lin Feng's hand was neither too big nor too small, just enough to beat Lin Ho-tung!
Bah!
Lin Feng's luck was really good!
He even got a hand like that.
Liang Kun sighed:
"Ah Feng's luck is really good. When Ah Dong flipped over his hole cards just now, my heart almost jumped out."
"That's a big flush."
"Almost a killer hand!"
"I never expected Ah Feng's luck to be pretty good after all."
"Thank goodness he won!"
Lin Ho-lung looked at him strangely:
"Ah Kun, is it really Ah Feng's good luck?"
Liang Kun was also startled, and fell into deep thought.
The two Leaders looked at each other, and a preposterous thought simultaneously popped into their minds:
"Ah Feng wouldn't be serious, would he?"
"His gambling skills really scare even himself?"
Su Su looked at the two of them speechlessly:
"What are you thinking?"
"This is clearly Ah Feng's good luck and Ah Dong's bad luck."
"It's a rival hand!"
