Hong Kong variety show: From being bitten by a cockroach to becoming a legend

Chapter 149

Chen Jincheng lowered his head, his chest heaving violently, his mind in turmoil. Dignity? In the face of life and death, it was worthless. He glanced at Lisa beside him, who was being held down tightly by security, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with pleading.

In the end, all his resistance and wishful thinking completely collapsed in the face of Song Zhaowen's cold and realistic choice.

"I—I'll do it." His voice was dry, as if squeezed out from a broken throat.

"Speak louder, I didn't hear you," Song Zhaowen said calmly.

Chen Jincheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and roared with all his might, "I'll do it! I'll work for you and pay off your debt!"

After yelling, he seemed to have all his strength drained away, collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud.

The gambling hall was silent; this was the second time Zhuo Lan had caught a cheater.

However, Song Zhaowen handled Zhuo Lan and Chen Jincheng in completely different ways.

Zhuo Lan lifted it high and then gently put it down.

They relentlessly pursued Chen Jincheng.

Does having big breasts and a big butt mean you can avoid disaster?

That's absolutely right. Song Zhaowen is just that kind of vulgar guy. Zhuo Lan is a girl with high aspirations. Today, she owes Song Zhaowen a huge favor. She will definitely repay the debt. If she doesn't have enough money, she'll pay it back with money. Song Zhaowen is really looking forward to it.

After all, with her stunning looks and amazing figure, she's definitely a great sex machine.

As for that old man Chen Jincheng, of course we'll take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Song Zhaowen gestured to Xiao Zhuoxiao beside him, "Xiao, take Boss Chen and Miss Lisa downstairs and make proper arrangements. Remember, if they try to run away, break their limbs and sell them to South Africa!"

"Yes, boss." Xiao Zhuoxiao replied expressionlessly. With a wave of his hand, several subordinates stepped forward, lifted the distraught Chen Jincheng and the weeping Lisa, and took them away from the casino. What awaited them was a future of losing their freedom and becoming slaves, at least until they paid off the six hundred million.

After dealing with Chen Jincheng, Song Zhaowen's face regained its calm and confident smile as he faced the guests again, as if his cold and ruthless demeanor had never existed.

"Everyone saw it!" Song Zhaowen surveyed the entire room, his self-shine sweeping over every guest, especially those with substantial wealth...

For discerning high rollers, "I'm not bragging, but in Hong Kong and Macau, and even in Southeast Asia, I dare say that no casino's anti-cheating system can compare to Galaxy's. We use NASA-level image capture and analysis technology!"

A custom-made ultra-high-speed optical lens from Zeiss, Germany! Capturing 100,000 frames per second—what does that mean? In the time it takes you to blink, our camera has already captured hundreds of details of your movements!

"Gentlemen, bosses, gentlemen, you're here to have fun and be fair! On the Star River, I, Song Zhaowen, here and now, am absolutely fair!"

He patted his chest forcefully: "If you lose, you can accept it gracefully; it's just bad luck or inferior skill! But I will never let you lose in a confused state, or be made a fool of!"

These words resonated deeply with every gambler.

Yes, when you come to a casino, who isn't afraid of encountering a cheater? It's not losing money that's scary, it's losing without knowing why, being manipulated like a fool! That kind of frustration and anger is worse than losing money!

Now, the "Starship" is showing them a living example: here, cheaters have nowhere to hide! Fairness is protected by the most advanced high technology!

Song Zhaowen raised his voice and gave a final summary, "Friends, you are welcome to visit the Galaxy anytime! (Drinking...)

"Watch the show, try your luck—you're all welcome! I, Song Zhaowen, assure you all that on the Galaxy, you can simply enjoy yourselves! Leave the fairness and safety to us!"

"good!!!"

"Mr. Song is a true friend!"

"Starship, that's awesome!"

"Song Sheng is right!" In the VIP section, Situ Guang was the first to loudly agree, clapping enthusiastically: "I hate those cheaters the most! Winning or losing is all up to fate! Song Sheng, your system is great! From now on, when I, Situ Guang, come to play, Star River will definitely be my first choice!"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly and whispered to the Crown Prince beside him, "Song Sheng really knows how to seize opportunities. This 'GG' move is more effective than spending tens of millions to play 'GG' on TV."

Huang Lei stood behind Song Zhaowen, watching him speak eloquently and confidently under the spotlight, her eyes shining with admiration.

Perhaps from this moment on, Huang Lei was unaware that her feelings for Song Zhaowen were slowly transforming from a simple business partnership.

After this battle, the image of "Starship" as fair, safe, and high-tech has been firmly established! It is foreseeable that after tonight, countless high rollers will flock to this newly launched gambling ship.

Song Zhaowen smiled and accepted everyone's applause. After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, he turned his gaze back to Jiang Zhen on the other side of the gambling table.

"Alright, time's up." Song Zhaowen gestured to Jiang Zhen, "Grandpa Jiang, I apologize for taking up so much time. Now it's quiet, it's our turn."

Jiang Zhen slowly opened her eyes, her cloudy eyes looking at Song Zhaowen. After a few seconds, she slowly hummed in response.

While dealing with Chen Jincheng was partly about taking in this old dog, it was also about creating psychological pressure for Jiang Zhen.

Whether it was the agile Zhuo Lan or the unparalleled Chen Jincheng, they all fell to Song Zhaowen.

If you want to cheat in the final round, you should first consider whether you can evade high-speed cameras.

However, Song Zhaowen was disappointed.

Regardless of what Jiang Zhen was thinking, he maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.

The dealer had already cleaned the gambling table until it was spotless, with brand-new playing cards placed in the center.

As the shadow cast by Chen Jincheng and the aftermath of Song Zhaowen's death gradually faded, everyone's attention refocused on the last two people.

Song Zhaowen, with over 90 million chips, is riding high. He just swiftly eliminated his opponents and successfully delivered a hardcore defeat for "Star River," making him the talk of the town.

Jiang Zhen, with chips totaling approximately 60 million, is equally unfathomable. The dealer begins shuffling the cards, and the "swish" sound of the cards rubbing together is exceptionally clear in the silence, as if striking the heartstrings of everyone.

The ultimate showdown between the "Gods of Gamblers" to determine the winner is finally about to begin.

The swishing sound of the dealer shuffling the cards was like a gentle breeze blowing through a bamboo grove.

Song Zhaowen sat ramrod straight, his back like a javelin, his hands clasped on the table, his eyes fixed on the gaunt old man opposite him who looked as if he might fall asleep at any moment. His swift and decisive handling of Chen Jincheng had indeed given him an air of authority, but he knew in his heart that this Jiang Zhen was completely different from the likes of Chen Jincheng and Zhuo Lan. Psychological intimidation might not be effective against this kind of person.

"The second half of the final, heads-up duel, begins now!" Bob's voice, deliberately low but unable to conceal her excitement, rang out. "The blinds are increased to one million/two million! The button position for the first hand will be determined by the draw!"

The dealer drew two cards from the brand-new deck and slid them toward the two players respectively.

Song Zhaowen flipped over the corner of the card, revealing the Jack of Spades.

Jiang Zhen flipped over the corner of the card, revealing the Queen of Hearts.

"Mr. Jiang Zhen has a high score and wins the first button position (banker's position)," the dealer announced. "Please place your blinds."

Song Zhaowen, in the small blind spot, threw out one million.

Jiang Zhen, in the large blind spot, made up the difference of two million.

The pot is three million, the biggest opening hand ever.

The dealer deals the hole cards. Two cards are silently slid down in front of the two players.

Song Zhaowen flicked the corner of the cards with his fingertip and glanced at them—Ace of Diamonds, King of Spades.

Although AK is a different suit, it is still considered one of the top starting hands.

Song Zhaowen calmly turned the cards face down and tapped the back of the cards three times with his finger.

Jiang Zhen—he didn't even reach out to touch the cards. He merely raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the two face-down cards, and then closed his eyes again, as if the two cards were something insignificant.

Song Zhaowen frowned. What was Jiang Zhen up to? Wasn't he even checking his own cards?

Is it overconfidence or a readiness to fold?

"Mr. Song, please make the first move." (The blind man moves first)

Song Zhaowen looked at his AK. There's a saying in Texas Hold'em: "If you have an AK but don't play it, you're a fool."

"Five million!"

Increase the betting volume by three times!

The pressure is now on Jiang Zhen.

However, as the button (dealer), he has the right to raise, call, or fold.

Normally, when someone in the small blind is so confident, folding is the best strategy, as it results in no loss except for sacrificing a small amount of pot.

But Jiang Zhen did not do that.

"Add another ten million."

When Jiang Zhen made a bet, it was nothing; but when he did, it was earth-shattering, directly raising the jackpot to tens of millions.

Song Zhaowen across from him raised an eyebrow: "Oh? It seems Mr. Jiang is quite confident in his luck."

"Young man, with so many cameras on your ship, I'm afraid my secrets will be exposed, and not only I will know it."

Jiang Zhen made a sarcastic remark in a leisurely manner.

Song Zhaowen's pupils contracted slightly.

The old fox's seemingly casual remark hinted that under the intense surveillance of the Galaxy, especially after Song Zhaowen's recent high-profile demonstration of his surveillance capabilities, if Jiang Zhen looked down at the cards, the information on the cards could very well be deciphered through lip reading.

Pupil reflex analysis and even microscopic traces on the back of the cards were captured by the control room and transmitted to Song Zhaowen. His refusal to look at the cards was actually a form of absolute information defense.

"Mr. Jiang, you jest," Song Zhaowen said, his expression unchanged. "I, Song Zhaowen, would never stoop to such despicable means. Ten million, is it? I'll go with it."

He pushed out his chips to make up the difference. The pot instantly swelled to twenty million!

With two players entering the pool and no third player interfering, it's a pure contest of chips.

The dealer deals three community cards, which are then turned over in turn.

Ace of Hearts, King of Hearts, Queen of Hearts!

"Whoa!"

A suppressed gasp erupted from the audience.

The community card pool has dealt three flushes in a row!

This turn of the card was a dream start for Song Zhaowen! His AK had just hit the top two pairs (Ace).

With a King, the hand strength is explosive!

As for Jiang Zhen—he still hasn't seen his cards.
