Chapter 133 Accidental Card Game
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when people returned to Chinatown from the restaurant. Everyone chattered into the yard of the grocery store, and they all seemed very excited: the exhibition was over, and according to the plan, they would go back to China after two days of playing in Paris, and everyone was in a relaxed mood.
As soon as we entered the yard, everyone felt something was wrong. Several big men who looked like gangsters were squatting at the door of the warehouse where they lived, smoking and chatting.
"You, come with us." After seeing Zhao Dongsheng in the crowd, a big man with a round face with a leading appearance walked forward and pointed his hand at him, and said carelessly.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing this, Zhou Jun, Wang Jianjun and other men immediately rushed forward and protected Zhao Dongsheng vigilantly.
"Our boss invites him to visit." The round-faced man glanced at Zhou Jun and others and then lifted the corner of his clothes, deliberately showing the pistol that was tied to his waist.
"Who are you boss?" Zhou Jun, Wang Jianjun and others couldn't help but become nervous when they saw this. Zhao Dongsheng pushed away the people blocking the front and walked forward, asking quietly.
"You'll know if you go." The round-faced man put down the corner of his clothes after hearing this. At the same time, the big men squatting on the ground also stood up and surrounded him and stared at Zhao Dongsheng with a fierce look.
"It seems that I have to go even if I go, and I have to go even if I don't go." Zhao Dongsheng glanced at the big men, looked at the round-faced man with a serious expression and said, secretly guessing his identity.
"Mr. Zhao, please." The round-faced man smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Dongsheng.
Zhao Dongsheng frowned slightly. Looking at the posture in front of him, he had to follow the round-faced man this time. He didn't understand who was going to see him. The most likely thing in Chinatown was Sixth Master, but Sixth Master shouldn't send people so much.
"I can go with you, but I must know who your boss is, otherwise I won't go." Zhao Dongsheng pondered for a moment, and looked at the round-faced man coldly, "This is the Sixth Master's place. If you have the guts, you can shoot."
"Oh? You know Master Six, too!" The round-faced man looked at Zhao Dongsheng unexpectedly when he heard this.
"Of course." Zhao Dongsheng said to the round-faced man quietly, "Sixth Master is famous in Chinatown, no one knows."
"To tell you the truth, we are the Sixth Master." The round-faced man saw Zhao Dongsheng scaring him with Sixth Master, thinking that Zhao Dongsheng was afraid, so he said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, our boss asked you to come over and help, and I will send you back when the matter is finished."
When Zhao Dongsheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He just used a little trick and took out the identity of a round-faced man. Since they were from Sixth Master, the boss he mentioned was also from Sixth Master's subordinate.
Although Zhao Dongsheng didn't know what the other party wanted to help him, there should be no danger in this trip. He had a friendship with Tong Tian and could push Tong Tian out at critical moments, and the other party would definitely give Tong Tian a face.
Because Tong Tian resolved the conflict between the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce, Chinatown and the Eagle Gang, he has now become the hero of the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce and Chinatown. He went to James' villa alone to expose the conspiracy of the Wild Wolf Society, and then turned the tide. The deeds of turning the tide have spread throughout the Chinese circle in Paris and have become the focus of people's discussion after dinner.
Since he figured out the origin of the round-faced man, Zhao Dongsheng told Wu Wen, Zhou Jun and others a few words to tell them not to worry about themselves, and then he followed the round-faced man in the worried eyes of everyone.
The round-faced man took Zhao Dongsheng into a hotel in Chinatown and asked him to wait in a room.
A few minutes later, just as Zhao Dongsheng was standing at the window looking at the night view of Paris, the door opened, and a short-haired man in a suit and tie walked in, followed by several people, including a fat black man Zhao Dongsheng saw in the casino.
"Is it him?" The short-haired man looked at Zhao Dongsheng and asked the fat black man in a twist.
"Second Young Master, it's him." Hearing this, the fat black man nodded at the short-haired man.
"Mr. Zhao, there will be a card game tonight. I will give you five million. If you win, we will be half the point. If you lose, I will be mine." The short-haired man waved his hand at the person behind him, and then said to Zhao Dongsheng.
A big man then placed a black suitcase on the table in front of Zhao Dongsheng. After opening it, there were stacks of francs with a denomination of 500 yuan.
"Is it safe?" Since seeing the fat black man, Zhao Dongsheng understood why he came here. It turned out that he was playing stud that night and attracted the attention of the fat black man. Since the short-haired man had already talked about this, he had to participate in that game, so he looked at the short-haired man quietly. This was his most concerned issue. He didn't want to be arrested by the police halfway through the game, and that would be depressed.
If Zhao Dongsheng is not wrong, the short-haired man who became the second young master by the black fat man is Li Wu, the second son of the Sixth Master, and is also the behind-the-scenes boss of the casino.
"Don't worry, it's just a few friends who are having fun together." Zhao Dongsheng guessed right. The short-haired man was Li Wu. Li Wu smiled at Zhao Dongsheng after hearing this, "I can assure you that you are very safe."
"I need a few things." Zhao Dongsheng pondered for a moment and said to Li Wu.
"Yes." Li Wu nodded at Zhao Dongsheng when he heard this, and agreed immediately.
Half an hour later, Zhao Dongsheng walked out of the room with the two big men. He had put on makeup, put on a fake beard, wigs and glasses, and looked like he had become a strange middle-aged man.
Under the leadership of the two great men, Zhao Dongsheng came to a luxurious private room on the top floor, where two groups of people gathered clearly, one group was Li Wu, and the other group was a middle-aged white man with a big belly.
Li Wu was chatting with a tall and thin man of similar age as him, and Zhao Dongsheng stood behind him calmly. The tall and thin man knew that Zhao Dongsheng was a poker player invited by Li Wu, so he glanced at him and continued to chat with Li Wu.
Zhao Dongsheng now knew what was going on. The middle-aged white man with a big belly was a rich man in Paris named Carrence.
Two weeks ago, Karens invited a master named Aidi, who won two million francs by Li Wu. Li Wu then set a bet with him tonight, with a bet of five million francs.
In order to win Carrence, Li Wu found a professional player who once defeated Eddie from Las Vegas, USA through his friends.
Originally, Li Wu thought that this would teach Carrence a lesson, but just this afternoon, the professional player had a stomachache, vomited and had diarrhea, and could not participate in the competition.
So, the black fat man mentioned Zhao Dongsheng to Li Wu. Zhao Dongsheng once defeated the Soha gambling gambler in the casino neatly and was the only suitable candidate for the competition at present.
In desperation, Li Wu had to let the round-faced man and others go to find Zhao Dongsheng. Before Zhao Dongsheng came back, the round-faced man had been waiting in the warehouse for three or four hours.
Li Wu has been suspected that Carrence secretly poisoned the professional card player, with the goal of not allowing him to participate in tonight's gambling, but unfortunately he has no evidence.
The middle-aged man who was talking with Carrence was Eddie. Like Zhao Dongsheng, he wore a pair of wide-brimmed glasses. He seemed to know that Zhao Dongsheng was his opponent, so he had been observing Zhao Dongsheng since Zhao Dongsheng came in.
However, Zhao Dongsheng did not look at Aidi, but just stood there with his head down. The battle between the two masters of gambling cards was not only at the card table, but also outside the card table. Zhao Dongsheng would not let the other party easily touch his eyes.
Soon, the two dealers came in with playing cards, and the gambling officially began. Zhao Dongsheng and Aidi sat on both sides of the long card table, and the dealer was in the middle of the long table, while Li Wu, Carrence and others sat off the court opposite the dealer to watch the game.
When the dealer was reshuffling the cards, Zhao Dongsheng looked up at Eddie expressionlessly, his eyes empty and without any emotional color.
Eddie also looked at Zhao Dongsheng with a serious expression, and both sides were exerting mental pressure on each other.
"Where did you find someone? They look quite imposing." Off the field, a tall and thin middle-aged man looked at Zhao Dongsheng who was looking at Eddie, and said to Li Wu sitting beside him with a smile.
"A friend introduced me, come to help me temporarily." Li Wu agreed to Zhao Dongsheng not to reveal his identity, so he replied with a smile.
The tall and thin middle-aged man saw that Li Wu was perfunctory to him, so he did not ask any further and looked up at the gambling table.
"I hope it won't end too quickly." At this time, Carrence, who was sitting on the other side of Li Wu, smiled and raised the red wine in his hand at Li Wu, with a look of pride on his face. He didn't believe that Zhao Dongsheng was Eddie's opponent.
"You will never be disappointed!" Li Wu smiled at Carrence when he heard this and said tit-for-tat. He didn't like Karence's face the most.
Zhao Dongsheng and Eddie each had five million francs in front of them. After the bet began, Zhao Dongsheng first lost three million francs in a row, and seemed to be no match for Eddie at all. This made Carrence even more proud, and at the same time made Li Wu's face look ugly.
However, the tall and thin middle-aged man looked at Zhao Dongsheng with interest. He felt that Zhao Dongsheng should not be so easily defeated.
The tall and thin middle-aged man guessed correctly. Not long after, Zhao Dongsheng launched a sharp counterattack, giving Eddy no chance at all. He defeated Eddy in one fell swoop, and won Eddy's bargaining chips cleanly and beautifully.
When Carrence left, his face turned pale and his mood seemed very bad. He was determined to win this time, but not only did he lose the two million he won last time, but he also lost another three million, which was not worth the gain.
"This is yours." In the hotel general manager's office, Li Wu handed a black handbag to Zhao Dongsheng, which contained 2.5 million francs. He promised to share it with Zhao Dongsheng.
A tall and thin middle-aged man sat on the sofa beside him, drinking red wine while looking at Zhao Dongsheng quietly. He thought Zhao Dongsheng was a very smart person. He first figured out the truth of Aidi's card, and then killed him, causing Aidi to defeat him. This amazing ability is not something that ordinary people can have.
"Thank you, I didn't come for this." Zhao Dongsheng looked at the handbag, and did not reach out to get it. He said to Li Wu, "Now I can go back."
"Please." Li Wu smiled slightly when he heard this, made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Dongsheng, indicating that he could leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhao Dongsheng then turned around and walked towards the door. Before he could take a few steps, the tall and thin middle-aged man called him.
"This is my business card. If you encounter any trouble in the United States in the future, you can call me." The tall and thin middle-aged man stood up and walked to Zhao Dongsheng, and smiled and handed a business card to Zhao Dongsheng.
"Thank you." Zhao Dongsheng glanced at the business card, which read "Chen Wei, Sales Department Manager of Longteng Group" in English. Then he smiled at the tall and thin middle-aged man, got up and left the office.
"Why, are you interested in him?" Li Wu asked with a smile when he saw Chen Wei give Zhao Dongsheng a business card.
"This is a very interesting person!" Chen Wei smiled at Li Wu and gave Zhao Dongsheng a definition. He had a strong premonition that he would meet Zhao Dongsheng again in the future.
To be honest, Li Wu saw that Zhao Dongsheng's card skills were so powerful that he wanted Zhao Dongsheng to bet on him in the future. However, the next day he was called by Sixth Master. Sixth Master told him that Zhao Dongsheng was Tong Tian's friend and told him not to harass Zhao Dongsheng again in the future. So he gave up this idea.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when Zhao Dongsheng returned to the warehouse. It took him more than four hours to play the game with Eddy. To his surprise, Wu Wen was waiting at the door of the warehouse and paced back and forth anxiously.
After seeing Zhao Dongsheng, Wu Wen couldn't help but feel happy. She rushed forward and threw herself into his arms. She hugged him tightly, and tears couldn't help but flow. The round-faced man seemed to be not a good person. She was really worried that something would happen to Zhao Dongsheng.
Zhao Dongsheng didn't expect Wu Wen's reaction to be so excited. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and hugged Wu Wen in his arms.
At the same time, many heads were surrounded by the window of the warehouse. Zhou Jun, Wang Jianjun and others were lying there looking at Zhao Dongsheng and Wu Wen hugging.
Everyone was worried about Zhao Dongsheng's safety, so they couldn't sleep at all. As soon as Zhao Dongsheng came back, they knew that they wanted to go out, but after witnessing the scene in front of them, everyone tactfully chose to stay in the warehouse to avoid being a light bulb.
