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

The overlap is too high.

Before each round of betting by the four players, A-Dong would appear in the vicinity of the relevant area.

Sometimes it's directly past the gambling table.

Sometimes it's standing in the adjacent passageway.

Sometimes it's just a brief pause after turning around.

Sometimes it's to deliver drinks to other guests.

Sometimes it involves bending down to tidy up the chairs.

Each movement, viewed individually, is fine.

When put together, it doesn't make sense.

Zhao Lei felt goosebumps gradually rising on his skin.

"That's too sneaky."

Bai Sisi whispered, "Because he didn't do anything."

Zhao Lei looked at her.

Bai Sisi frowned: "Or rather, he was just doing what he was supposed to do."

This is the most terrible.

A staff member is walking around the casino, which is normal.

It's normal to help guests collect their cups.

The environment has been tidied up; everything is normal.

I stopped to check the situation around the table, and everything seemed normal.

But what if these normal movements were designed into rhythms?

That would make it difficult to make a judgment immediately.

Because he did not cross the line.

He simply did what he was supposed to do at the wrong time.

He Jingyan's voice finally turned cold.

"A Dong's position is suspended."

"Don't disturb the guests."

"Let the risk control team take over."

Uncle Liang nodded immediately.

"Yes."

He Jingyan looked at the screen again.

"Those four people continue to keep watch."

"Don't let them notice."

The staff responded quickly.

The rhythm in the monitoring room has completely changed.

Just now we were observing, analyzing, and judging.

It has now entered the handling phase.

Someone made a phone call.

Someone has access to the backend system.

Someone contacted the site manager.

Someone has marked and archived the relevant footage.

Someone started checking the work areas that A-Dong had visited today.

Zhao Lei's heart was pounding as he watched.

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Can we arrest them now?"

He Jingyan did not answer immediately.

He was clearly making a judgment as well.

Arresting someone is not as simple as pressing the pause button.

Especially in casinos.

Without evidence, a guest is a guest.

Even if the casino has suspicions, they cannot arbitrarily move people.

Moreover, we are only inferring the anomaly from the rhythm of behavior. To form a complete chain of evidence, we need more information.

Is there any connection between Ah Dong and those four people?

What information do they use to place bets?

How to withdraw your winnings?

Is there someone deeper inside providing cover?

These things haven't fully surfaced yet.

Shen Ling'er spoke first.

"Not yet."

Zhao Lei was stunned.

Why?

Shen Ling'er hugged her little arms.

Her little face was serious.

"You only see the hands."

"We haven't seen the tail yet."

Zhao Lei: "Tail?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "My father said that just because a child who steals candy has a sweet tongue doesn't mean that the candy is in his possession."

Everyone in the monitoring room was stunned for a moment.

This is Shen Fei's statement again.

It's still a metaphor like a kindergarten story.

But in this moment, it makes one's heart sink.

Zhao Lei asked instinctively, "Where's the candy?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the four people who had won money on the screen.

"In the place he planned to hide."

He Jingyan's eyes narrowed.

He understood immediately.

"exchange."

Uncle Liang also realized what was happening.

"They've won so much and haven't left yet because it's not time to withdraw."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Winning is not the end."

"The end is when you turn the money you win into something you can take with you."

The air suddenly tightened again.

These words seemed to awaken everyone.

Yes.

No matter how much you win at the gambling table, it's just chips.

Even if the chips remain in the casino system, they can still be tracked, frozen, and reviewed.

Only after the money has been exchanged, cleared, and transferred into cash that can actually be taken away is the whole thing considered complete.

If these people don't leave, it's not because they're greedy.

It's because the process hasn't reached its final stage yet.

They might be waiting for a node.

A node where chips can be safely exchanged.

Zhao Lei took a slow breath.

"So what we really need to see is when they'll exchange their chips?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Who else will help them change?"

This time, He Jingyan remained completely silent.

He looked at Shen Ling'er, his eyes no longer showing surprise.

Rather, it was a tremor that came after confirmation.

In the afternoon, she looked at the fake chips and said, "For fake things to get in, there always has to be a real door to open for them."

Now, watching the casino live, she says, "Winning isn't the end; taking the winnings with you is the end."

She never just looks at the immediate future.

She can tell where things are headed.

See what people ultimately want to get.

He Jingyan finally realized that Shen Ling'er's most terrifying aspect was not her lack of skill.

It's not that I don't understand probability.

Rather, she is never fooled by superficial actions.

She will go straight to the goal.

This is terrifying in a casino.

Because everyone in the casino is hiding something.

The gambler said he was just playing around.

But deep down, he wanted to win back his losses.

Experienced players say they rely on intuition.

But what we're focusing on is the pattern.

The cheater disguised himself as an ordinary customer.

But every action contains calculations.

The mole posed as an honest employee.

But every normal job might involve opening doors for other people.

Shen Ling'er didn't pay attention to what they were saying.

I don't even care what they're pretending for.

She watched to see where they finally planned to hide the "sugar".

The comments section was completely in an uproar.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Ling'er really figured it out!"

"Her hands are so obedient! Wait till she stops! What kind of observation angle is that?"

"Not a code, but a rhythm? That's so sophisticated!"

"He Jingyan's face changed; this was a real accident on the spot."

"Winning isn't the end; taking the money away is the end. That gives me goosebumps."

"Shenfei's quote is here again: A child who steals candy may have a sweet mouth, but that doesn't mean he has the candy."

"What kind of education has this child received? It's outrageous!"

"She's not interested in the spectacle; she's interested in the purpose!"

Zhao Lei: I just wanted to broaden my horizons. But my knowledge exploded.

"Is the director about to cry again? How did this cultural exhibition turn into an anti-cheating scene?!"

Inside the monitoring room.

Yang Mi held Shen Ling'er's small hand, his palm slightly tightening.

She didn't interrupt.

It's not that I don't want to.

Instead, they didn't know how to interrupt.

Things are moving too fast.

From the moment Shen Ling'er said, "They cheated," the entire monitoring room seemed to be led deeper and deeper by her words.

First, her hands were too obedient.

Then wait for the cards to die.

Then it's a matter of who can get a tile.

Then Ah Dong gives the rhythm.

Finally, proceed to the exchange channel and the withdrawal point.

Every step felt like peeling skin.

The surface is normal.

The purpose of revealing the inside is obvious.

Yang Mi felt both proud and heartbroken.

She is proud that her daughter is really amazing.

What's heartbreaking is that this level of severity is something a five-year-old child shouldn't be handling.

She just wanted to bring Ling'er to a proper cultural exhibition.

Watch the shuffle.

Look at the dice.

Watch anti-gambling education.

Have a little snack.

Then go back to your room to rest.

But now, Ling'er stands in the monitoring room, watching a casino cheating scheme unfold, as calm as if she had long since seen the complexities of human nature.

Yang Mi looked down at her daughter.

"Ling'er".

Shen Ling'er looked up at her.

Her previously focused face immediately softened a little.

Soften your voice.

"Mother, let me tell you first."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

Only then did I realize that what I had said before coming to the monitoring room was, "If I see it, I'll tell my mom first."

But things are developing too fast now, and Ling'er said it almost in front of everyone.

As if afraid of making her angry, Shen Ling'er added another sentence.

"They all heard it."

Yang Mi: "..."

Zhao Lei almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Even at a time like this, Ling'er still remembered to explain the process to her mother.

Bai Sisi couldn't help but lower her head and smile.

The tense, suffocating atmosphere from before was suddenly brought back to a more human touch thanks to Shen Ling'er's earnest explanation.

No matter how capable she is, she's still a child who's afraid of upsetting her mother.

Yang Mi felt helpless and soft-hearted, so he could only gently pat her head.

"Mom knows."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

It's like completing a very important explanation.

He Jingyan withdrew his gaze and quickly said to Uncle Liang, "Block the abnormal window of the exchange channel, but don't show it."

"Place someone to keep an eye on the four of them."

"Keep A-Dong in the internal rest room and prevent him from accessing communication devices."

"Check all the positions he came into contact with today, including exchange, clearing, and card shoe maintenance."

"In particular, whether he has access to the back-end notification system, the records of discarded license plates, and the license plate replacement process."

"Also, make sure not to miss any of the staff who took over his shift this afternoon."

Uncle Liang immediately responded.

"clear."

He Jingyan added another sentence.

"Be gentle."

"Don't let the guests at the scene notice."

"The fact that they've dared to sit here until now means they're still waiting."

"We'll wait too."

There was already a distinct chill in those words.

Uncle Liang nodded and left.

All the staff in the monitoring room sprang into action.

The images on the screen kept changing.

The main stadium.

Redemption window.

Side door passage.

Employee rest area.

Backstage corridor.

In the chip counting room.

Every single one was brought up.

Each route is marked.

It was just a monitoring room a moment ago.

It's like a giant net, slowly tightening.

Zhao Lei didn't dare to breathe loudly.

For the first time, he clearly realized that the Ho family's control over Macau's casinos wasn't just about prestige and luxury cars.

Once this system is actually running, it's frighteningly quiet.

There was no shouting.

There was no chaos.

There were no scenes like those in TV dramas where a group of security guards rush out to arrest people.

Everything is being managed calmly.

All exits are still open.

All gaming tables are still operating normally.

The guests are still placing bets.

The dealer is still dealing the cards.

The waiter was still serving drinks.

But some unseen doors have already begun to quietly close.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but whisper, "This isn't a follow-up to the cultural exhibition."

Bai Sisi asked, "What is that?"

Zhao Lei looked at Shen Ling'er, then at the screen full of surveillance cameras.

"This is a live anti-fraud tutorial at a large casino."

Shen Ling'er looked up and corrected her.

"It's against cheating."

Zhao Lei nodded immediately.

"Yes, against cheaters."

Upon hearing this, He Jingyan turned around and glanced at Shen Ling'er.

His expression was very serious.

This is not a compliment to the child.

It wasn't a staged performance for a variety show.

Instead, they truly regarded her as someone who provided crucial judgment in this operation.

"Little Ling'er."

His voice was a little lower than before.

"Thanks."
