Not only that, he first performed a tense and exciting card-watching act, and then played a trick of feigning weakness and discarding cards, further confusing and paralyzing the young punk girl.
The fat man chose his timing perfectly, so much so that it was enough to deliver a devastating blow to the young punk girl!
Do you all know why I hate gamblers?
It's because gamblers are all a bunch of uneducated people, whose minds are solely focused on taking shortcuts to gain wealth without working for it!
Most of the time, when encountering a cheater at the same table, as long as there are no grudges, everyone tacitly focuses on making money.
But if you encounter a gambler, that's a different story!
Especially those experienced gamblers with insight, they don't care about honor or dishonor; even if you don't provoke them, they will come looking for trouble with you directly.
On the path of the Thousand Gate Blue Way, many cheaters didn't fall into the pit of failed cheating but were destroyed by gamblers who disregarded rules and honor.
Compared to cheaters, anomalies like gamblers have no concept of martial ethics whatsoever.
To win money, they will stop at nothing!
The young punk girl in front of us is a living example!
If nothing unexpected happens, when the house's enforcers arrive, the fat man will spill everything that just happened and demand that the enforcers inspect the cards on behalf of the casino.
As long as the cards are found to be problematic, the consequences... well, everyone understands.
...
Soon, a man who looked unremarkable walked over with a cold expression.
Willow eyebrows, pea-sized eyes, a bulbous nose, and a toad-like mouth.
The man walking towards us, at first glance, was similar to Liu Huaqiang from "Conquest." Let's call him "Brother Huaqiang" for now.
As soon as he arrived, Brother Huaqiang said coldly, "What's going on here?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man, having seized the opportunity, didn't give the young punk girl any chance to breathe.
Beating the young punk girl to it, the fat man directly poured out everything that had happened in the last hand, adding fuel to the fire.
Every word was precise, almost a fatal blow!
Seeing Brother Huaqiang's face darken, the young punk girl immediately panicked and wanted to explain.
However, Brother Huaqiang abruptly raised his hand and interrupted her.
I thought that since the fat man had pointed out that the cards were problematic, Brother Huaqiang would immediately start inspecting them.
But what I didn't expect was that this guy seemed to genuinely think he was Liu Huaqiang.
He first tilted his head slightly, cracked his neck a couple of times, and then, in a very showy manner, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, buddy!"
Seeing me staring at him, Brother Huaqiang suddenly turned his head and said to me, "Can I borrow a light?"
Hearing this, I withdrew my gaze, took the lighter, and stood up.
Perhaps it was because I had been mentally tense and sitting in the same position for a long time, but as I stood up, my feet involuntarily stumbled a couple of steps, almost causing me to fall in front of everyone.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly, using my left hand to support myself on the gambling table, stabilizing my stance, and handing the lighter to Brother Huaqiang.
After taking the lighter and lighting the cigarette in his mouth, Brother Huaqiang sized me up and said with a knowing smile, "I wouldn't have guessed! You look quite proper, buddy, but your kidneys aren't that strong!"
As soon as Brother Huaqiang finished speaking, the onlookers who had gathered to watch the commotion burst into laughter.
Hearing this, I didn't offer any explanation but simply smiled along with the crowd.
After the jest, Brother Huaqiang's expression suddenly turned serious, and he picked up the poker cards from the table to inspect them.
There were no extra or flashy movements.
At this moment, everyone's attention, including mine, was focused on the poker cards in Brother Huaqiang's hands...
About half a minute later.
After inspecting the cards, Huaqiang Ge looked up at the fat man beside him and asked coldly, "Excuse me, were you telling me a ghost story just now?"
Hearing this, the fat man froze on the spot: "Huh? Wh-what... what do you mean?"
Seeing this, Brother Huaqiang couldn't hold back any longer and directly cursed at the fat man, "What the hell are you talking about!!!"
"Didn't you say this woman swapped the cards just now? And that the card must be hidden in the deck."
"How come when I checked, it was just fifty-two poker cards, from Ace to King in all four suits, not a single one more or less?"
Hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but exclaim, "Impossible!"
"She must have hidden the card on her person!"
Seeing that the fat man's expression and tone were not faked, after taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, Brother Huaqiang smiled coldly and said to the fat man, "Alright! I'll believe you one more time!"
"Get me two female attendants!"
Seeing this situation, the young punk girl's face instantly turned very ugly, and she quickly said, "Catching a cheater requires catching them red-handed. Now that no evidence has been found, what right do you have to search me!?"
"Right? Heh!"
After a dismissive cold laugh, Brother Huaqiang frowned and reprimanded the young punk girl, "A tattooed socialite, are you!"
"Little girl, if you have nothing to hide, why are you getting so agitated?"
"I'm having the female attendants search you to protect your reputation. If you keep arguing with me..."
"I'll have to search you myself! And if I find anything then, you'll be thoroughly disgraced."
"Don't worry, little girl, if you have nothing on you, I, Wu Guoquan, will give you a fair explanation!"
Before the young punk girl could speak, the fat man beside her quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, search her!"
"Since the card wasn't left on the table, it must be hidden on her person!"
Ignoring the fat man, once the two female attendants were in place, Wu Guoquan, who looked remarkably like Brother Huaqiang, directly gestured for the search.
The two female attendants, receiving the order, began to search the young punk girl.
Women searching women, just like men searching men, was very thorough, from top to bottom.
From front to back, from left to right.
From the outside in, from head to toe.
After searching meticulously for some time, the two female attendants stopped simultaneously.
Then, they both shook their heads slightly at Wu Guoquan.
"Nothing?"
This answer caused Wu Guoquan's brows to furrow immediately, his face filled with disbelief.
At this moment, the young punk girl, with a flicker of amusement in her eyes, suddenly spoke, "What now? Since nothing was found, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Hearing this, Wu Guoquan's face turned ashen as he said, "Fine! I'll give you an explanation! Come to my office to talk!"
"Oh, and you, you fatso! Come with me too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Guoquan walked away without looking back.
Due to this sudden turn of events, two people were missing from the four-person game. The skinny bamboo pole, without a word, picked up his chips and got up to leave the gambling table.
I followed suit.
After exchanging my chips for cash, I took the two brothers, Xianyu, and left the casino.
However, I didn't actually leave, but waited in the alley next door.
