One drink, one peck, all predetermined.
The orchid bears fruit, the willow bears seeds, there must be a reason.
The words "cause" and "effect" are the most mysterious and unsolvable.
I didn't believe in karma before, but now I do!
And the key to all this is Zhu Wenjing!
The day after I agreed to take Zhu Wenjing in, while asking people to inquire about Xiang Tianhua's whereabouts, I unexpectedly received some news.
Yun Jin has shut down Ruichi!
But she found a sponsor to partner with, and together they launched a luxury cruise ship, on which she organized some kind of gambling competition.
And the time is set for: 9:18 PM tonight!
The moment I heard this news, I immediately realized what Yu Shuang's intention was when she asked me to clear out the other eleven dark spots.
If nothing unexpected happens, she wants to use this opportunity to tie me down so that I can't be in two places at once.
She agreed to tell me clues about the Thousand King's Token after I cleared the spots, but at the same time, she hid Yun Jin's whereabouts from me.
Clearly, everything Yu Shuang said before was a lie. Like me, she is also here for the Thousand King's Token!
All along, this woman has been using and manipulating every resource she could to try and seize the Thousand King's Token!
Once I follow the previous agreement and clear out the venues of Xiang Tianhua, Luo Qiweng, and Jiang Xiaowan, Ying Baolin will undoubtedly fly into a rage.
At that time, Yu Shuang only needs to find an opportune moment to "leak" the truth to Ying Baolin at just the right time...
Then, the two most threatening and competitive opponents will be directly out of the game!
Because by then, it's guaranteed that I and Ying Baolin will be tearing each other apart, and we'll have no time to pay attention to Yu Shuang!
After carefully recalling everything, I suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if I were being watched!
So close! Just a little bit more!
Yesterday, if I hadn't met Zhu Wenjing and specifically investigated Xiang Tianhua's whereabouts after agreeing to help her, my schedule today would likely have been to move on to clearing out the second venue.
Fortunately, the seeds sown yesterday have yielded fruit today.
So, upon hearing this news, I immediately gathered my people and prepared to board the cruise ship for a direct confrontation with Yun Jin.
At noon, our group boarded a luxury cruise ship at Wenzhou Port.
I had already inquired beforehand that the venue for the gambling competition organized by Yun Jin was on this cruise ship.
It is said that the winner will receive a cash prize of ten million yuan, as well as a mysterious grand prize.
Competitions with such stakes and rewards can attract not only the local gambling circles of Wenzhou but also those from nearby cities who have received wind of it through their channels.
Five minutes ago, the people who boarded the ship before our group seemed to be Ningbo and Kangzhou's up-and-coming gamblers.
As people around were chatting idly, I overheard a few snippets, and it seems that some of these gamblers are quite well-known in Zhejiang Province.
As for why Yun Jin, after shutting down Ruichi, would suddenly spend so much financial and human resources to organize this gambling competition...
Although I'm not entirely clear about the reasons, I always have a vague feeling that something is amiss.
I always feel that what she is doing is very likely related to the Thousand King's Token...
Therefore, this time, to ensure that I could make contact with Yun Jin without any mishaps and extract clues about the Thousand King's Token from her, I mobilized almost all the connections I could in Wenzhou.
Of course, most of these connections were built with money.
As for Xu Shiyu and Ma Wei, there's no need to mention them; both of them came, and they brought all their fellow disciples.
I hired this group of people according to the highest standard for hiring a team of gamblers in Wenzhou's underworld.
After the mental team was in place, the physical force team was also arranged.
This time, I called Old Dog Zou and borrowed two vans of people.
That's about 14 to 15 people, also at the highest market price.
In addition, I also called Leng Meng, Yang Liuqing, and Qin Manli, asking them to help.
Among these three women, only Leng Meng is related to combat, but Yang Liuqing and Qin Manli are also capable of great things.
During my time in Wenzhou, not only have I improved my gambling skills through various practical experiences, but I have also learned many tricks and subtleties in these treacherous and ever-changing gambling games.
The help I received from the simultaneous improvement of my strength and experience has been immense and immeasurable.
I still remember Uncle Tuo once saying that for gamblers, luck, location, and people are three crucial elements.
However, the luck, location, and people for gamblers have quite a few differences from what ordinary gamblers consider.
The so-called luck refers to the gambler's own fortune, and location refers to the place where the game is held.
As for people, it refers to one's own gambling skill.
For a gambler, luck is the least important of the three elements, while location and people are the most important.
Putting aside people for now, let's talk about location.
Every casino, though it may seem ordinary and simple, is actually full of hidden secrets.
And the word "feng shui" is an indispensable part of it!
Many people might say: "Wow! Gambling is gambling, what does feng shui have to do with it?"
If any of you have been to the casinos in Macau, please speak up and curse these ignorant fools for me!
Here, I want to emphasize one point: the feng shui of a casino should never be underestimated!
Why am I suddenly talking about feng shui?
Because the moment I boarded this luxury cruise ship, I noticed that the casino's style was intentionally imitating the casinos of Macau!
Upon entering, there was a feng shui layout of "a fierce tiger sitting in the hall, killing in all directions."
This conclusion was reached after I carefully observed it several times and confirmed it repeatedly.
After entering the interior, I found that a series of fluorescent screens were continuously broadcasting promotional advertisements for various gambling games to attract the attention of gamblers.
And one of the advertisements featured the slot machines that I mentioned many times in the previous year.
In the advertisement, gold coins were continuously flying out of the slot machines.
The countless gold coins scattering outwards are defined as "blade sha" in feng shui, which serves to cut people's money bags.
The implication is very clear, and I believe I don't need to explain it... you should all be able to guess it by now!
As for the ceiling, eight exquisite and delicate crystal chandeliers were hung.
Seven of the chandeliers were arranged in a row, with only the last one slightly curved to the left.
From a straight-line perspective, this scene looked like a "sickle."
Anyone who has done farm work knows what a sickle is used for.
Even before entering the actual casino hall, this bizarre scene suggests that...
Yun Jin is determined to stir up trouble!
