I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

Upon seeing his expression, Zhao Lei immediately sat up straight.

"No way?"

Bai Sisi looked at him.

"What did you sense this time?"

Zhao Lei lowered his voice.

"Mr. He's expression is very similar to that of Uncle Liang when he entered the exhibition hall yesterday."

The director, standing not far away, turned pale.

"No way..."

The assistant director silently reached out his hand again.

The director yelled angrily, "You're still covering it up!"

Shen Ling'er looked up and glanced at He Jingyan.

"Another bad guy?"

He Jingyan paused slightly.

He looked at Yang Mi, his tone more cautious than yesterday.

"It's not like yesterday."

"It's a business matter within the He family."

Yang Mi understood.

"a little?"

He Jingyan paused for a moment.

"It's quite serious."

Zhao Lei instantly perked up.

"A serious business matter?"

He Jingyan didn't try to hide much.

After all, the production team is already here, and some things aren't exactly secrets within the Australian community.

"The Ho family has a long-standing dispute with another casino."

"It involves several VIP lounge channels, cooperation shares, and some historical accounts."

"Neither side can resolve this in an undignified manner."

Zhao Lei asked instinctively, "Then how do we solve it?"

He Jingyan glanced at him.

"bet."

The restaurant fell silent instantly.

Chen Doudou blinked.

"Gambling again?"

Lin Jia quickly covered his mouth.

"This isn't a question for children."

Shen Ling'er remained calm.

She looked at He Jingyan.

"You guys bet yourselves?"

He Jingyan nodded.

"right."

"This is an old custom in Australia."

"Each side will send its own representative, and the winner will be determined in a public setting."

"The winner takes the credit."

The loser has to pay the price.

Zhao Lei's eyes widened in astonishment.

"So direct?"

He Jingyan said calmly, "In Macau, some things, the more complicated they are, the more they need to be solved with the simplest rules."

Bai Sisi frowned.

"Could this be a case of cheating?"

He Jingyan said, "The rules allow it."

Everyone was taken aback.

Zhao Lei's eyes widened.

"allow?"

He Jingyan nodded.

"It's possible to cheat."

"But if you get caught, you lose."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire atmosphere of the restaurant changed.

Yesterday was still about cracking down on cheaters.

Today the rule has become that you can lie, but you can't get caught.

Zhao Lei muttered, "Isn't this a high-level match?"

He Jingyan did not deny it.

"Yes."

He looked at Yang Mi.

"I didn't originally intend for you all to participate."

"The other party just knew that the production crew was staying at the He family's hotel, and also knew about yesterday's events."

"They suggested that the production crew could observe from the sidelines."

"Of course, if Miss Yang Mi is unwilling, I will refuse directly."

Yang Mi's first reaction was to refuse.

She didn't want Shen Ling'er to get involved anymore.

But Shen Ling'er had already raised her head.

"They want to see me?"

He Jingyan remained silent for half a second.

"possible."

Shen Ling'er's face remained calm.

"That will cost money."

He Jingyan: "..."

Zhao Lei burst out laughing.

"Teacher Ling'er has such a keen business sense!"

He Jingyan couldn't help but laugh.

"This time, we're not asking you to do anything."

"Just observing."

"If you'd like, you can also help check if the other party is cheating."

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Cheating?"

He Jingyan nodded.

"right."

Shen Ling'er took a bite of the dessert pudding and said calmly:

"You can take a look."

Yang Mi looked down at her.

"Ling'er".

Shen Ling'er tilted her head up.

"Mom, I don't gamble."

I'll watch.

Yang Mi fell silent.

That sounds very well-behaved.

But she knew her daughter too well.

Every time Shen Ling'er says "I'll watch," it easily turns into a major incident.

Zhao Lei whispered, "Sister Mi, to be honest, I get a bit stressed when I hear the words 'take a look' now."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You can close your eyes."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi smiled, rubbing her forehead.

"Zhao Lei, you've run into it again."

He Jingyan solemnly said:

"I assure you, little Ling'er was just observing."

"The one who actually takes the stage is the gambling king from the Ho family."

"She won't be held responsible in any way."

Yang Mi looked at him for a few seconds.

Finally, he nodded gently.

"We can only watch from the sidelines."

Shen Ling'er nodded obediently.

"Um."

Zhao Lei looked at Shen Ling'er, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

I don't know why.

He always felt that the meaning of this "um" was somewhat uncertain.

The comments section was buzzing with excitement.

"It's here! A new dungeon!"

"You can cheat, but if you get caught, you lose. What kind of ingenious rule is this?"

......

The gambling took place at a private club owned by the Ho family.

There was no noise from the casino lobby.

There was no glitz or glamour.

The entire hall was so quiet it was almost oppressive.

The entrance was covered with a dark carpet.

Old photos are hanging on the wall.

Security personnel are stationed every few meters.

They had no extra expression.

But everyone's positioning made it feel like this wasn't an ordinary entertainment venue.

As soon as Zhao Lei got out of the car, he lowered his voice.

"This place looks just like in the movies!"

Bai Sisi said softly, "Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Ling'er, clutching her small backpack, looked up at the doorway.

"Is the food good here?"

Zhao Lei: "..."

He Jingyan happened to hear this and chuckled.

Snacks and dinner have been arranged.

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"That's alright."

Zhao Lei looked at the camera and whispered:

"Dear viewers, Teacher Ling'er's first criterion for judging dangerous locations is: Is there food?"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, you don't even care about the betting, you ask about food first."

"He Jingyan understands. Announce the meal first."

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's educational achievement: Never participate in any major event on an empty stomach."

"We don't handle cases while eating, but we must confirm the meal before we can do anything."

Inside the clubhouse, a main hall has already been set up.

There is a gambling table in the middle.

The desktop looks new.

The light falls from above, illuminating only the desktop.

Witnesses from both sides sat around the perimeter.

There aren't many people on the He family's side.

He Jingyan, Uncle Liang, and two advisors.

There was also an elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a Tang suit.

The old man sat there, twirling a string of beads in his hands.

Eyes half-closed.

However, his demeanor remained very composed.

Zhao Lei asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

He Jingyan introduced, "Old Xu, a veteran player in the He family."

Zhao Lei immediately became respectful.

"The gambling king?"

He Jingyan thought for a moment.

"You could say that."

Old Xu opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Ling'er.

He had already heard about the girl last night.

But seeing it with my own eyes now, it still feels absurd.

Five years old.

too small.

Even standing next to the gambling table is uncomfortable enough.

But it was precisely this one child who completely dismantled the cheating scheme at the Ho family's casino yesterday.

Old Xu nodded gently.

"kid."

Shen Ling'er nodded as well.

"Grandpa."

Zhao Lei almost lost his composure.

Old Xu didn't mind at all; instead, he smiled.

"I heard you have excellent eyesight."

Shen Ling'er said indifferently, "It's alright."

A hint of interest appeared in Old Xu's eyes.

"Check over across the street for the old man today, see if there are any dirty hands."

Shen Ling'er asked, "What does 'dirty hand' mean?"

Old Xu paused for a moment.

He originally thought Shen Ling'er wouldn't understand.

The next second, Shen Ling'er added another sentence.

"Was it stealing cards, swapping cards, or just deceiving people?"

Old Xu paused for a moment while playing with the beads in his hand.

He looked at Shen Ling'er, his eyes finally becoming more serious.

Zhao Lei whispered from the side, "Was Old Master Xu also stumped by Teacher Ling'er's question just now?"

Bai Sisi: "Keep your voice down."

Meanwhile, the other side's people also arrived.

The leader was a middle-aged man surnamed Fang.

The Fang family is also a long-established power in Macau.

Although not as deeply rooted as the He family, it has expanded rapidly in recent years.

Fang Mingzhe, the young master of the Fang family, was dressed in a black suit and smiled politely.

"Young Master He, thank you for waiting."

He Jingyan said calmly, "Just arrived."

Fang Mingzhe's gaze swept over the production crew, finally settling on Shen Ling'er.

His smile deepened.

"Is this the little girl Shen Ling'er?"

Zhao Lei immediately frowned.

His tone was rather unpleasant.

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"Is there something you need?"

Fang Mingzhe was taken aback.

He then laughed.

"It's nothing, I've just heard so much about you."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"I've heard so much about you, but there's a fee."

Fang Mingzhe: "..."

He Jingyan's lips twitched slightly.

Zhao Lei almost burst out laughing.

"Goodness, they start by collecting an observation fee."

The live chat instantly became lively.

"Hahaha, Young Master Fang got charged in the first round."

Shen Ling'er: Don't overestimate me, I'm very expensive.

Fang Mingzhe wanted to put on an act, but was interrupted by a five-year-old child while casting the spell.

He Jingyan couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Fang Mingzhe quickly regained his smile.

"Little Shen is really interesting."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Your words aren't as pleasant to hear as He Jingyan's."

Fang Mingzhe's smile froze for a moment.

He Jingyan tilted his head slightly and coughed softly.

Zhao Lei lowered his head, trying to suppress his laughter until his shoulders trembled.

Bai Sisi couldn't help but laugh.

The live chat exploded.

"Hahaha, blatant disparagement!"

He Jingyan: Suddenly received extra points.

"Young Master Fang: I haven't even started, and I've already lost?"

"Ling'er really doesn't like anyone's mouth."

Three people walked out from behind Fang Mingzhe.

A tall, thin man.

A middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses.

There was also a man who was very strong but had exceptionally nimble fingers.

When Old Xu saw them, his eyes darkened slightly.

Zhao Lei asked He Jingyan in a low voice.

"Who are they?"

He Jingyan said in a low voice:

"The tall, thin one is called Rosen; he's really good at cards."

"The man with glasses is surnamed Wei, and he is skilled in probability analysis and card pattern judgment."

"The strong one is called Hong Jiu, the dice player."

Zhao Lei felt a chill run down his spine.

"Three gambling kings?"

He Jingyan did not nod directly.

"They are all top-tier experts at least."

Zhao Lei swallowed hard.

"Your methods of resolving business disputes are really exciting."

Bai Sisi whispered, "Don't talk, just watch carefully."

Before the game begins, both parties confirm the rules.

The first game, playing cards.

The second round, dice.

The third game was a combined game.

Best of three.

You can use techniques.

It can be misleading.

Psychological warfare can be used.

However, electronic devices cannot be used.

You cannot bribe the people inside the venue.

Do not damage the equipment prematurely.

If caught cheating on the spot, you will be disqualified immediately.

Zhao Lei's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Isn't this just blatantly admitting that you can deceive people based on your skills?"

He Jingyan calmly said, "That's why we have to gamble."

Shen Ling'er sat next to Yang Mi, with a glass of warm milk and a small plate of pastries in front of her.

She glanced at the cards on the table.

Then I looked at the dice cup.

The little face didn't show much excitement.

Instead, it felt rather calm.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, what did you figure out?"

Shen Ling'er took a bite of the small cake.

"It hasn't started yet."

Zhao Lei: "Oh, right."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Don't be more anxious than the cards."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The first game begins.

Mr. Xu to Rosen.

The playing cards are unsealed, inspected, and shuffled.

Both players may cut the cards.

Old Xu's hands are very steady.

Rosen's hands were also very steady.

The two men sat on either side of the gambling table, neither moving very fast.

There were no exaggerated card-throwing scenes like in the movies.

There were no fancy wrist flips either.

But ironically, this only makes people more nervous.

Zhao Lei looked at it for a long time, then whispered:

"Why do I feel like they haven't done anything?"

Master Chen was also watching from the sidelines.

His expression was very serious.

"Experts don't need to do much."

"The less, the more dangerous."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Hands are too good at pretending to be innocent."

Zhao Lei immediately looked at her.

"Being good again?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Those people were very well-behaved yesterday."

"They make you feel like your hands are naturally meant to be this way."

Zhao Lei got goosebumps listening to this.

"There's a difference in levels?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"have."

The game progressed very quickly.

Mr. Xu initially had the upper hand.

But Rosen was not in a hurry.

He lost very steadily.

Every fold, call, and raise felt like it was all planned in advance.

In the middle of the game, the situation began to reverse.

Old Xu's hands remained steady.

But his brows were already slightly furrowed.

Although Zhao Lei couldn't understand the card combinations, he could understand the atmosphere.

"Is something amiss with Old Xu?"

He Jingyan remained silent.

Uncle Liang's face was somber.

Shen Ling'er watched for a while, then suddenly said:

"He didn't cheat."

Everyone was taken aback.

He Jingyan immediately looked at her.

"Rosen?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"He relies on his skills."

Fang Mingzhe smiled when he heard this.

"Little Shen has a good eye."

"Mr. Luo really doesn't need to cheat."

Upon hearing this, Old Xu's expression darkened.

He knew, of course, that Rosen hadn't cheated.

But it's precisely because it's not there that it's even more troublesome.

Technological superiority.

It's harder to catch than someone who cheats.

The first game is over.

Rosen wins.

The atmosphere at the He family's place turned somber.

Zhao Lei was stunned.

"You lost?"

Bai Sisi nodded gently.

"Um."

Zhao Lei lowered his voice.

"Isn't Mr. Xu supposed to be the gambling king?"

Master Chen said in a low voice:

"The other party is too."

Shen Ling'er looked at Rosen, her eyes calm.

"He has an excellent card counting ability."

Zhao Lei asked, "Is he better than Old Xu?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"a little."

Zhao Lei took a breath.

"You can win with just a little bit?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Between masters, a single point is enough."
