As a dealer, Kang Muru was well aware of the casino's tricks and methods, and had seen countless wealthy individuals caught in their schemes, losing all their assets overnight.
Kang Muru had initially believed his self-control was strong enough to manage himself well.
But he never expected that one day... he himself would become the one being slaughtered!
At this stage of the game, whether Kang Muru saw through it or not was of no consequence.
Because from beginning to end, his money was never lost to me.
And while he was losing money, the slick-haired man who had been arguing with him was also losing money intermittently!
As for the other professional gambler with a buzz cut, he had been tagging along with Kang Muru from the start to the end, naturally losing everything clean.
Therefore, even if he wanted to suspect someone, he would only suspect the casino.
After all, casinos often engaged in such petty tricks!
Would Kang Muru be willing to accept this?
The answer was definitely: No!
He hadn't even managed to woo the girl into bed, and his pockets were already empty. No one could accept that.
So, after being challenged by the dealer, Kang Muru silently lit a cigarette, his eyes constantly shifting as he began to contemplate a counter-strategy.
After an unknown amount of time.
Just as the dealer was growing impatient and about to ask Kang Muru what his intentions were for occupying the spot without doing anything, as if he had made up his mind to win back his losses, Kang Muru looked up at the dealer and said, "Please call the loan shark for me!"
The term "loan shark" referred to the casino's money lenders.
The terms were typically nine out of ten, repaid within seven days.
If not repaid within the time limit, the interest would compound!
If the loan was not repaid within the first week, then from the second week onwards, the principal would become the actual principal plus the previous week's interest, with interest compounding continuously.
For a simple example.
If you borrowed 100,000 yuan from a loan shark, you would actually only receive 90,000 yuan.
One week later, you would have to repay 130,000 yuan, including principal and interest.
If you couldn't repay, by the time the second interest calculation period arrived, the principal would be 130,000 yuan plus 40,000 yuan in interest.
If you still couldn't repay, the third week would see a principal of 170,000 yuan plus 40,000 yuan in interest!
This was the compounding interest of loan sharks!
There were countless gamblers and addicts who borrowed from loan sharks to make a comeback, yet...
Among them, those who truly managed to turn their fortunes around, even if they repaid the loan shark in full, would eventually fall into an abyss!
Therefore, once this step of borrowing from loan sharks was taken, what awaited them was a precipice!
Whether to jump or not was merely a matter of sooner or later.
Kang Muru borrowing from loan sharks to make a comeback was also part of my setup plan.
From the moment I started designing this scheme against him, I had already run through all possible outcomes in my mind.
This outcome was almost entirely consistent with what I had envisioned for the successful execution of the plan.
If a man does not offend me, I shall not offend him.
If a man offends me, I shall cut the grass and eliminate the roots!
He was merely a stray dog basking in the shade of the Ying family, and after I exposed his fish-killing scheme, cutting off his stable source of side income, he actually expected me to compensate him?
An enemy like that, if not dealt with decisively, would only be a nuisance to myself!
Therefore, letting Kang Muru take that crucial step into the world of loan sharks, and then letting him charge headlong down that path until he lived like a dog, was the only way to completely eliminate him!
In peacetime, why resort to violence so readily? Isn't it better to make the enemy wish they were dead?
Thus, from this moment on, Kang Muru was finished! Completely finished!
It was useless even if he was a dealer and understood some of the patterns of Baccarat!
At this point, there was no reason for the casino to let him win back his losses!
Within a few minutes, the casino's loan shark approached Kang Muru.
The subsequent events had nothing to do with me or the people involved in my fish-killing plan.
Because I still had more important cleanup work to arrange.
There was no need to worry about Xu Peiyu; she had already resigned from the Yun Jin Club after I called her.
This time, Xu Peiyu was determined to stick with me.
I had no reason to refuse her overtures, nor would I refuse them!
With Xu Peiyu sorted out, as long as the two professional gamblers咸鱼 (Xian Yu) had found from out of town remained tight-lipped, the first round of the two-way fish-killing game... would be a success!
Therefore, after smoothly losing all his chips and leaving the table, Xian Yu immediately had those two professional gamblers leave the casino, with less than a five-minute difference between them.
The moment they exited the casino, I immediately had Han Jinlun start the Buick Enclave that had been parked by the roadside, and pick up Xian Yu and the other two.
As for Xu Peiyu, although it was her turn to leave the game, it was definitely not now.
To prevent the desperate Kang Muru from doing anything excessive to Xu Peiyu, I specifically asked Cheng Minglang to stay behind at the casino.
The reason the Qianmen Eight Generals are led by the main general is that the main general is responsible not only for setting up the scheme but also for controlling the entire situation.
Therefore, I dared not slack off in the slightest!
This was the team's first joint scheme, and no matter what, I had to ensure the safety of every member!
...
After driving the two professional gamblers back to their hometown of Shuili City overnight, I did not have Han Jinlun rush back to Wenzhou.
Instead, he parked the car directly on a street in Shuili City, and the three of us spent the night in the car.
The next morning, just as dawn broke.
I, who was still in a deep sleep, was awakened by the creaking sound of car wheels.
As soon as I woke up, an immense urge to urinate swept over my entire being.
Resisting the urge that was about to burst forth, I quietly opened the car door and quickly got out.
As I walked towards a utility pole, clutching my crotch, I could no longer hold it in.
Glancing around to see no pedestrians in the vicinity, I decisively unbuckled my belt.
Open the floodgates! Release the water! Let it flow!
Less than three seconds after I started urinating, a middle-aged woman, about thirty years old, appeared directly in front of my line of sight.
Embarrassing! Extremely embarrassing!
The flood hadn't finished flowing, and someone had arrived!
And it was a woman!
If I stopped now, besides the risk of the floodgates leaking onto me, the extreme discomfort of stopping mid-stream was something anyone could understand.
So, I decided... to continue releasing the water!
However, to avoid being labeled a pervert, I instinctively pressed myself as close to the utility pole as possible, with my hands placed on the outside, trying my best to cover myself.
