"What?!"
Li Heshan was greatly shocked upon hearing the news.
He truly hadn't expected that Big Sister nearly lost her life the day before.
When such a big incident had occurred and a clash between both sides was imminent, it was no wonder that they wanted to settle accounts early, he instantly understood.
But...
Thinking about the situation on his side.
Li Heshan forced a wry smile and responded, "Brother Biao, this... it's not that I'm trying to brush you off, but my casino just had someone come in to disrupt the place, and I've already incurred a loss of nearly five hundred million. As soon as I deal with this trouble, I'll settle the account immediately."
"What, that's happened too?!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Biao was also startled.
He knew that Li Heshan definitely wouldn't dare to stall, it seemed his situation wasn't too good either.
Then Brother Biao suddenly thought, Big Sister had just been calculated into a car accident yesterday, today they urgently needed to raise money for war, and now the most profitable casino down below was being disrupted...
It was hard to believe that it wasn't the same group of people behind these deeds!
"How many people are causing the disruption at your place?" Brother Biao asked gravely.
"Just one person," Li Heshan responded with a wry smile.
"Alright then, you hold him off for now, wait for me to come over and clean him up! Damn it, do they really think we're that easy to bully?"
After cursing, Brother Biao directly hung up the phone.
Li Heshan put his phone away, shaking his head slightly, feeling sympathy for the impending misfortune about to befall Mu Jinyu.
He then adjusted his feelings and walked out of the control room, towards the underground casino.
...
Underground casino.
Dice area.
Table number nineteen.
"Hurry up and start the next game, will you? What's with all the dawdling?!"
"Come on! Can't handle it? If you can't play, just say so; we can go to another casino!"
"..."
The crowd was agitated, and the croupier, sweating profusely, kept his head down, not daring to utter a word.
Because he had been notified to stall Mu Jinyu until Li Heshan could meet with him, he deliberately hadn't started the next game after Mu Jinyu's chips exceeded ten million yuan.
But this move was naturally going to incite public outrage, causing the gamblers around to start cursing.
A group of people shouted for the croupier to hurry up with the next game while telling Mu Jinyu to move to another table.
At that moment, Mu Jinyu didn't move to another table.
He knew that once his chips had gone from ten million yuan to one hundred million yuan, they would not let him gamble freely anymore.
After all, if he won another game, that would turn into one billion yuan.
Put simply, they just couldn't afford to lose anymore.
A large group of gamblers were following the bets. If he won one billion yuan, the casino wouldn't just lose one billion; with the trends, they'd likely lose another five or six hundred million yuan.
And when they discovered that even the mechanisms inside the dice cup still had no effect on him.
Next, it was time for the casino manager to step forward and negotiate with him.
Mu Jinyu stayed very calm; he didn't become agitated or lose control even though he had turned one hundred yuan into one billion in just half an hour.
He quietly waited for the casino manager to come out.
Soon.
As Li Heshan appeared, the gamblers who were making an uproar immediately started quieting down.
They were all seasoned gamblers and naturally all knew the person in charge of this underground casino, Li Heshan.
They also knew he was a gambling expert. Whenever the casino encountered someone trying to wreck the place or a card shark looking to score some quick cash, he would step in. With his seemingly magical gambling skills, he made people lose so badly that they left with their tails between their legs.
Seeing Li Heshan step forward, everyone's hearts were filled with both anticipation and disappointment.
The anticipation was because they were about to witness a match of unparalleled gambling skills.
The disappointment, however, was because they could no longer ride the wave and make a quick buck.
That was because no matter whether Mu Jinyu won or lost, the casino would ask him to leave.
If he lost, of course, he would slink away with his face in tatters, but if he won, the casino would present him with a satisfying sum with both hands and ask him to leave.
Apart from a few insatiable gambling addicts who were muttering under their breath, the other gamblers, though disappointed, all appeared quite calm.
They didn't bother cursing, after all, they had just followed the trend; while Mu Jinyu feasted, they too had sipped plenty of broth.
It was time to quit while they were ahead.
"Young man, our casino is too small to withstand your kind of turmoil. How about we gamble on one game to decide it all? Win, and I'll give you all the profits from the casino this month; lose, and that one billion is still yours—as long as you leave afterward!"
As Li Heshan approached, the crowded masses automatically parted to create a path for him to walk over to Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu's eyes flickered upon hearing Li Heshan's words, and then looking at him with a half-smile, he asked, "How much is your casino's monthly profit?"
Li Heshan stretched out and crossed his index fingers on both hands, saying, "Ten billion."
Actually, it was more than ten billion.
Though this underground casino could not compare to Haojiang Casino, its monthly profits definitely exceeded ten billion. However, he couldn't outright tell Mu Jinyu the exact amount.
Nor could he say it in front of all the other gamblers.
Mu Jinyu thought that the figure was about right.
Of course, if the croupier had continued the game at that moment, his bet would also have been around that number; but now, with stakes so high, they no longer wanted to play with him, preferring instead to resolve things in a single decisive round.
So he agreed.
Mu Jinyu nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it!"
"How shall we play?" he asked after agreeing.
Li Heshan replied, "You're an expert at listening to dice, guessing high or low won't make sense. Let's see who can roll the larger number."
Hearing Li Heshan's proposition, the surrounding gamblers felt somewhat confused, wondering what he was up to.
They were both gambling experts, yet they were going to compete to see who could roll the larger number.
The maximum number on a single dice is six, so no matter how many dice there were, with their expertise, surely they could all roll sixes, which would only result in a tie, right?
And seeing Li Heshan's confident and fearless expression, could it be that he had a way to roll an extra point?
They were perplexed.
Mu Jinyu did not think too much and straightforwardly agreed, "Alright, let's start. You go first!"
He couldn't grasp Li Heshan's strategy, so he simply let Li Heshan go first.
"Okay." Li Heshan nodded upon hearing that, indifferent to the order of turns.
Then, Li Heshan had the croupier at table nineteen leave, picked up the dice cup, and took three new dice from the drawer and put them in, reminding again, "Six dice, the one with the larger number wins, alright?"
"No problem." Mu Jinyu said.
As soon as Mu Jinyu responded, Li Heshan immediately covered the dice cup, and then with extremely complicated maneuvers, started shaking it, producing a dizzying array of afterimages, while inside the dice cup, the dice and the cup collided violently, sounding like hail pelting a window.
"Tatatata!!"
Everyone present listened to this sound, none speaking, their eyes fervently fixed on Li Heshan.
With a confident and easy smile on his face, after shaking for nearly three minutes, Li Heshan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and then he slammed the dice cup hard on the table before swiftly lifting it!
"Hiss!"
Upon seeing the six dice revealed under the bottom of the cup and their corresponding numbers, everyone present simultaneously inhaled a breath of cold air.
They saw that all six dice showed six points, and beyond that, there seemed to be an extra "one" point...
