The middle-aged man looked at the 7 of Hearts revealed by Mu Jinyu, and his face turned ashen!
He lost, and his defeat was utterly devastating!
The crowd that had been watching this earth-shaking gamble the entire time finally felt their hearts settle back in place upon seeing Mu Jinyu reveal his hole card, then they couldn't help but burst into an uproar!
"Isn't this just too awesome?!"
"I thought he was doomed just now, but he ended up schooling us all!"
Some began to recall Mu Jinyu's gambling style over the past several hands, pondering over each detail, and then exclaimed:
"My God, that's terrifying!
He started setting up from the very first hand, intentionally losing a billion, pretending to be fond of making a show of things, while also betting cautiously.
Then in his conversation with Boss Li, he deliberately let slip that he actually knew how to play Showhand yet pretended not to, further convincing others of his love for bluster.
Next, in the following dozen or so hands of Showhand, he successfully crafted the image of being cautious yet fond of gambling on luck in people's minds.
Because of his young appearance, coupled with his opponents having little contact with him, he managed to lead his opponent to underestimate him!
Finally, when he deliberately proposed raising the stakes in a hand, it threw his opponent into disarray, completely forgetting how many 7s had been played in this deck of cards.
And just like that, he arranged the game to win seven billion in one hand!"
When the others heard this analysis, they felt it made sense, and their reverence for Mu Jinyu, who kept a calm and composure, grew even stronger.
He truly deserved the title of Gambling God!
Li Heshan's anxiety was finally put to rest after he saw that Mu Jinyu's hole card was the 7 of Hearts.
Initially, as an outsider, he had almost been bluffed by Mu Jinyu's various behaviors, but he quickly realized something was wrong.
Because he knew that Mu Jinyu was Mei Yinxue's man, and, given Mei Yinxue's character, this casino was practically his property, it wouldn't make sense for him to intentionally lose his own money.
Therefore, he understood that Mu Jinyu must have been putting on an act for his opponent!
But still, this was a gamble worth seven billion after all!
Starting with a three billion bet on the first three cards, adding two billion on the fourth card, and two billion more for Showhand...
With the three billion previously taken by the middle-aged man, if Mu Jinyu lost this hand, they would be directly down ten billion to their opponent!
Even as much as Li Heshan believed in Mu Jinyu, he was afraid of Mu Jinyu losing!
Now that Mu Jinyu had ended his opponent with trips against two pair, he relaxed a lot.
He looked at the middle-aged man with a gaze full of pity and sympathy.
This guy, caught up in the heat of the game, had his emotions completely controlled by Mu Jinyu. He might've only had to return the three billion he won earlier if he had lost, but out of greed for the seven billion, he got flustered and completely failed to keep track of how many 7s were in the deck!
Mu Jinyu, listening to the crowd's gasps and debates, smiled faintly and said, "Do you still remember our first hand?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed, growing even paler.
Mu Jinyu laughed, "At that time, you crushed my pair of fives with your pair of sevens. Now, as fortune turns, I have used trips sevens to crush your pair of fives and pair of Kings. It seems that today is truly a lucky 777."
Having said that, Mu Jinyu lazily stood up, stretched, and gestured for Li Heshan's subordinates to gather the chips, ready to leave.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed several times before he suddenly burst out shouting, "You cheated!"
"Hmm?" Mu Jinyu's expression chilled at these words, and the step he was taking to leave paused instantly!
The middle-aged man's look shifted from panic to resolve as he said, "I refuse to believe that with my hand, you could come up with trips, you must have either had the croupier stack the deck when I went for the chips, or you switched the hole card yourself!"
As soon as he said this.
Many spectators who were watching thought he was just a sore loser.
Some thought that it might indeed be possible, even though they hadn't seen it.
Otherwise, how could they have lost so much?
There must be some trickery in the casino!
The crowd began to get rowdy!
Mu Jinyu said with a cold face, "You suspect me of cheating, right? Either the croupier helped me switch cards, or I played the card shark myself?"
"Mhm!" the middle-aged man replied in a deep voice.
"Fine, let's go check the surveillance video to see how many sevens have appeared in this deck of cards, and in the dozen or so rounds of Showhand we played, whether there was any cheating during the shuffling process!"
Mu Jinyu stared at the middle-aged man with a cold gaze and said, "But you should know the consequences of your baseless accusations against me! Do you still insist?"
The middle-aged man was somewhat panicked, but considering that he had not only failed to win back three hundred million but had also lost seven hundred million, his prospects were bleak regardless, and suspecting foul play, he resolutely said, "Your threats won't work on me. I insist on viewing the surveillance!"
"Alright then!"
Subsequently, buoyed by the clamor of the gamblers, a group also wanted to go and have a look.
But with so many people, it wasn't feasible to let them all be spectators, was it?
Therefore, Li Heshan also picked a few influential and wealthy gamblers to accompany them to the surveillance room to check the footage to see if there was any trickery in their games!
Soon, they arrived at the surveillance room.
Fortunately, Li Heshan was well-prepared; one surveillance room was specifically for monitoring card sharks, where surveillance staff cooperated with the croupiers and gambling experts of their casino to trap and defeat their opponents!
This was something that couldn't be shown to others.
The other was specifically for VIPs who wanted to check whether there was any foul play in their games.
They were now entering the latter surveillance room.
With the help of the staff, the video showing the gambling process between Mu Jinyu and the middle-aged man was quickly brought up.
The middle-aged man and the few witnessing gamblers stared with wide eyes, trying to spot any instances of cheating!
After watching for a while, the middle-aged man's face turned somewhat pale; he really couldn't find even the slightest bit of foul play in their game.
The three seven of Hearts had apparently just coincidentally come together, and had he not suddenly proposed to reshuffle during the game, it was unlikely that all three sevens would have ended up in Mu Jinyu's hands!
So, in fact, it was his own doing!
"Sorry, my mistake!"
The middle-aged man apologized, then prepared to leave!
"Wait!" Mu Jinyu spoke to stop him!
The middle-aged man's steps halted, and recalling Mu Jinyu's earlier threat, his scalp tingled as he braved up and said, "What now? Are you really going to do something to me? We just bet seven hundred million directly, and after losing so much money, is it not normal for me to have some doubts?"
"No, it's not about your doubts that I want to do something to you,"
Mu Jinyu looked at the middle-aged man with icy eyes and said, "It's about the problem of you cheating in our game!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed drastically!
Next, Mu Jinyu adjusted the surveillance video, moving it to a specific frame, then played it in slow motion, even slower, and slowed it down tenfold.
The video then showed that after a round of Showhand, the middle-aged man, while discarding the spent cards, did not throw away all five cards. Instead, he stealthily kept an Ace of Spades!
The middle-aged man's face turned ashen, and cold sweat soaked through his entire body; he turned to flee, but Li Heshan's men held him back, preventing his escape!
The witnesses, upon seeing this scene, looked at the man with darkened expressions.
Mu Jinyu paid him no heed and continued to manipulate the surveillance footage, playing it slowly for everyone to see that the middle-aged man intended to switch his hidden card for a pair of Aces, hoping to defeat Mu Jinyu's pair of Kings, but ultimately failed because Mu Jinyu had decided to fold.
