Chapter 100

Just after leaving the canteen after a meal, Chen Dasheng's phone rang. After answering the call, Chen Dasheng's brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the change in Chen Dasheng's expression, Han Ruoxue was a bit puzzled.

Chen Dasheng smiled and said, "Nothing, I'll take you back to the dormitory first."

"Okay!"

Han Ruoxue nodded. Seeing that Chen Dasheng didn't want to say more, she wasn't the type to pry. The two walked shoulder to shoulder towards the girls' dormitory, their shadows stretching longer under the streetlights.

—

After sending Han Ruoxue back to the dormitory, Chen Dasheng left the school gate. After a moment of contemplation, he hailed a taxi and headed directly to the Wu family casino.

The call he just received was somewhat unexpected, as it was from Wu Wenxuan, who said the casino was in trouble and wanted his help.

At this moment, in the Wu family's underground casino, Wu Wenxuan was in a state of distress.

On Sunday night, the registered gambling king of Rongcheng, He Liang, brought a well-dressed old man and a uniquely dressed black man to the casino.

This unusual combination immediately caught the attention of the casino, as they knew the man was a gambling king. Wu Wenxuan promptly sent Mei Jiu to face them.

To Mei Jiu's surprise, it wasn't He Liang, the gambling king, who stepped up, but the well-dressed old man. After a few rounds of mahjong, Mei Jiu suffered a crushing defeat.

At that moment, Mei Jiu knew he had encountered a master. He tried to find out more about the old man, but the old man stopped when he won 50 million yuan each day. The members of the Little Knife Gang that Wu Wenxuan sent to follow He Liang and the others were found the next day, their bones shattered, in an alley near the casino.

Tonight was already the fourth night. At 7 PM, He Liang indeed brought the two men back. Wu Wenxuan was at his wits' end. In the past few days, his father had sent all the skilled gamblers under his command, but none of them could match the mysterious old man.

—

"Master Xuan, if they win again today, the casino will have lost 200 million yuan."

In the surveillance room at the back of the casino, Wu Wenxuan and Mei Jiu were gathered around a machine. The screen showed a poker table in the main hall.

An old man sat at the table, a large cigar in his mouth. Two people stood beside him like bodyguards, one bald and the other a strangely dressed black man.

These three people had taken 150 million yuan from the casino in just three days. For Wu Wenxuan, who had just taken over the casino, this was a significant amount of money, directly affecting his status in the family.

Three people were gambling against the old man, all of whom were top-level gamblers borrowed from other Wu family casinos. However, they were already sweating, having already faced the mysterious old man in the past few days. They had tried almost every game in the casino, and the old man's gambling skills were beyond their imagination.

The gambling session had only been going for an hour, and they had already lost about 20 million yuan. At this rate, they would lose another 50 million yuan today.

Wu Wenxuan watched the screen with a heavy heart. These three gamblers were even worse than Mei Jiu, who had already been defeated. How could they possibly hold their ground?

"I've already called Brother Sheng, but I don't know if he will come," Wu Wenxuan said. He couldn't find any more skilled gamblers and, in a moment of desperation, thought of Chen Dasheng, who had shown his gambling skills in the casino before, on par with Mei Jiu.

Mei Jiu nodded and said, "This man's gambling skills are so high, he must be on the list of gambling saints. I don't know if Mr. Chen can match him."

A smile appeared on Wu Wenxuan's lips. "It doesn't matter. Brother Sheng has a strong background. If he can help, we should be able to deal with these three people."

Mei Jiu pondered. He knew that when Wu Wenxuan said "deal with," he meant using force, not gambling skills. Although the intentions of the three men were unknown, they were clearly there to cause trouble. Wu Wenxuan couldn't let them take such a large sum of money so easily. He had sent several waves of people, but they were all defeated.

Unable to handle them openly or secretly, Wu Wenxuan, being a shrewd person, sought Chen Dasheng's help to leverage his influence. Chen Dasheng's sister represented the power of the state. By involving Chen Dasheng, he would be borrowing a powerful ally. No matter who the old man and the black man were, they would be no match for the state's power. Wu Wenxuan was only worried that Chen Dasheng might not help.

—

The taxi stopped outside the hotel. Chen Dasheng got out and walked in, taking out the black card Wu Wenxuan had given him and waving it at the doorman. He then proceeded unimpeded to the fifth underground level.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, someone was already waiting. Without entering the main hall, a pretty girl with a big bottom led Chen Dasheng directly to the back.

"Brother Sheng!"

Seeing Chen Dasheng, Wu Wenxuan's eyes lit up with joy, and a weight was lifted from his heart. He had been worried that Chen Dasheng wouldn't come.

Chen Dasheng nodded slightly and looked at the screen. He immediately spotted He Liang in the crowd and frowned. It was this guy, and it seemed he had brought help.

Wu Wenxuan pointed to He Liang, who was looking around as if searching for something, and said to Chen Dasheng, "This man is named He Liang, a gambling king from the southwestern region. His skills are on par with Uncle Jiu. We tried to recruit him before, but failed. The other two have unknown intentions. The old man is extremely skilled, and Uncle Jiu is no match for him. He is likely on the list of gambling saints. The black man is very strong; the members of the Little Knife Gang I sent were all crippled by him. They came on Sunday night and leave after winning 50 million yuan each day. Their intentions are unclear, but it seems they are looking for someone."

Wu Wenxuan briefly explained the current situation to Chen Dasheng, who remained calm but was thinking that He Liang was probably looking for him. After all, He Liang had previously said he would return, and this area only had the Wu family's large casino. It was no wonder He Liang and his group had targeted this place.

"Brother Sheng, this man is not easy to deal with. I wonder if you..." Seeing Chen Dasheng's silence, Wu Wenxuan became anxious again.

Chen Dasheng could easily guess what Wu Wenxuan was thinking. After receiving the call, he had indeed hesitated about whether to come. In the end, he decided to come.

The casino was a good place to make money. Wu Wenxuan's request would certainly bring benefits. He could earn money and make Wu Wenxuan owe him a favor, a mutually beneficial arrangement.

After a moment's thought, Chen Dasheng said, "Invite them to the back, I'll meet them!"

At this, Mei Jiu said, "Mr. Chen, we invited them before, but they refused to come to the back. It seems they are looking for someone in the main hall."

Chen Dasheng's eyes lit up, and he turned to Wu Wenxuan. "Prepare some gambling tools for me!"

"Huh? Gambling tools?" Wu Wenxuan was taken aback.

Chen Dasheng said, "Poker, the same as what is used in the game, right now."

"Okay!"

Wu Wenxuan nodded, not knowing Chen Dasheng's intentions but still following his instructions. Soon, two new decks of poker cards appeared before Chen Dasheng. With a wave of his hand, the cards disappeared into Chen Dasheng's possession.

Wu Wenxuan and Mei Jiu were surprised by Chen Dasheng's quick movements. Even Mei Jiu couldn't see how the cards disappeared, and Wu Wenxuan thought Chen Dasheng was performing magic.

Chen Dasheng was hiding the cards to cheat. In Mei Jiu's eyes, this skill was beyond his reach, and he felt more confident in Chen Dasheng.

Chen Dasheng deliberately showed this move. The cards were hidden in his Qiankun Bracelet, ready to be used at any time.

"Let's go, we'll meet them together!" After putting away the cards, Chen Dasheng left the surveillance room with Wu Wenxuan, while Mei Jiu stayed behind.
