Chapter 1168 Who Wants to Win That Guy's Underwear?
He Shiming and Long Sihai arrived in Haojiang from Hong Kong in the afternoon and also stayed at the Scenic Hotel. Although it was a high-end room, it was far from the level of a presidential suite in terms of decoration.
Given He Shiming's status, he could have booked the presidential suite, but because Da Bao arrived, the entire floor's presidential suites were closed to the public.
So He Shiming was seething with anger, but there was nothing he could do. In Hong Kong, everyone had to give the He family face, but in Macau, another He family was the master. He Shiming, a dragon, had to coil up; a tiger, a man, had to lie low. Besides, he wasn't a dragon or a tiger at all, just a small snake.
In the upscale guest room, He Shiming held a glass of red wine and looked at Long Sihai. Although he was a playboy, he had inherited Sir He Xi's intelligence to his core. That was to put it nicely; to put it bluntly, he was also a shrewd businessman.
So-called unscrupulous merchants are only interested in profit, so he solemnly said to Long Sihai.
“Mr. Long, my money isn’t easy to take. I know you’re a master gambler with superb skills, but I’ve investigated this kid surnamed Qin, and he’s not weak either. I want to know how confident you are about tonight’s bet?”
Long Sihai crossed his legs, picked up his wine glass, and waved it in front of his eyes. He knew that if he didn't show some real skill, he wouldn't be able to get this spendthrift to gamble with real money.
Long Sihai smiled slightly and pointed to a deck of cards on the table.
"Young Master He, today I'll show you my skills. Shuffle this deck of cards, then place it on the table with your back to me. I'll know what every single card is."
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
He Shiming immediately became interested. If he could see through the opponent's cards, wouldn't he have a sure thing? He couldn't wait to shuffle the cards again and again and then put them on the table.
“Young Master He, just pick one card at random. I don’t have the patience to explain all 52 cards to you one by one.”
That's a bit offensive, but Long Sihai isn't He Shiming's subordinate. If it weren't for wanting to get some gambling money, why would Long Sihai take He Shiming seriously?
He Shiming pushed out a card with one finger. Long Sihai took off his glasses, squinted, glanced at it, and then said calmly.
"Two hearts."
He Shiming couldn't wait to reveal the cards, and sure enough, it was the two of hearts. He Shiming then found three more cards and placed them side by side in front of Long Sihai.
Long Sihai glanced at it casually and said slowly.
"Nine of Spades, Ten of Clubs, King of Diamonds,"
Upon opening it, sure enough, there wasn't a single mistake. He Shiming clapped his hands with a broad smile and said.
"That's great, Mr. Long. If you go all in on this, won't you be in an invincible position forever?"
Long Sihai smiled slightly.
“Young Master He, this alone is not enough. Take three Aces from the deck and place them in front of you.”
He Shiming flipped over the license plate and placed the three A's in front of him. Long Sihai's fingers lightly tapped the table. The action was so subtle that even if one paid attention, it would be considered unintentional.
"Young Master He, please open it and take a look."
He Shiming revealed three cards, only to be shocked to find that what was originally three Aces had turned into three Kings. He looked up at Long Sihai in surprise.
"You switched my cards? When did you switch them?"
Long Sihai flicked his wrist, and with a flick of his fingers, three playing cards were pinned to the coffee table. They were none other than He Shiming's three Aces. What surprised He Shiming even more was...
The coffee table at the scenic hotel was made of fine hardwood, so fine that even a knife couldn't leave a mark on it. Surprisingly, three thin playing cards were embedded in the tabletop.
This move completely impressed He Shiming, who immediately called his housekeeper and asked him to prepare the company's mortgage documents and deliver them to the Haojiang Scenic Hotel as soon as possible.
Long Sihai was indeed arrogant. He didn't explain to He Shiming in detail that his trick was the famous "transferring flowers and grafting trees" in the art of gambling. There were no more than three people in the world who could do it like that, which is why he was called the King of Gamblers.

As night fell and the city lights came on, two tailors brought in dozens more sets of clothes. These weren't newly made, of course; they were altered versions of existing garments.
Wenwen, Niu Niu, and Nuan Nuan changed into new clothes: printed dresses and knitted cardigans, along with dozens of matching shoes. These shoes were carefully chosen; matching shoes to clothes was the most important thing.
Little girls love new clothes the most. Niu Niu and Nuan Nuan changed into new clothes and new shoes. Especially since it was the first time they wore little leather shoes, the two of them walked around the room for a while. The little white wolf was afraid that Nuan Nuan would fall, so he kept following beside her with small steps. The animals in the space zoo were all excellent babysitters.
Casinos are places where all sorts of people mingle, so it's not safe to bring children there. Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue discussed it and wanted her to stay home and look after the children, but Zuo Mingyue refused no matter what. Don't underestimate a girl's curiosity. Zuo Mingyue used her charm for the first time, and Da Bao was completely defeated.
The children couldn't go, so Xiao Liuzi stayed in the presidential suite to play with them. Niu Niu pouted; she wanted to go too. Wenwen's eyes lit up, and she whispered a few words in Niu Niu's ear. Niu Niu nodded happily.
After calming the children down, Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue, guided by Xiao Dao, arrived at the VIP room, Room Number One, the very room where Da Bao and Fu Nianzu had gambled.
There are no gamblers in Macau, especially the powerful and wealthy. Aside from the Portuguese Governor-General Charleson, he also wanted to gamble, but his chief of staff dissuaded him. If he went, the impact would be too great; he'd be on the front page of tomorrow's newspapers. And you know, even Portuguese parliamentarians can see those newspapers.
The police chief was still the same shoemaker, but now he was obsessed with the top dancer at the nightclub. He preferred to dance with her rather than come to watch the spectacle. On the other hand, the deputy chief, He Jiaming, had arrived early, all excited.
Ever since witnessing Da Bao's swift and decisive actions in Hong Kong, He Jiaming had almost idolized him. Upon hearing that Da Bao had returned from abroad and was planning a high-stakes gamble, he promptly canceled his engagements and went to the casino.
Whether in public or private matters, Ho Ka-ming is a top figure in Macau. He is Sir Ho's nephew and the highest-ranking Chinese person in Macau's upper echelons. Therefore, all the powerful and influential families try to curry favor with him.
As soon as Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue entered the gambling hall, He Jiaming, who had been absentmindedly dealing with the dignitaries who came to chat him up, saw Da Bao and his eyes lit up. He quickly pushed through the crowd and ran over to him.
He stood in front of Da Bao and bowed deeply. Da Bao didn't recognize him at first, but recognized him after a closer look.
"Oh, Director He, what brings you here to join in the fun?"
He Jiaming replied with a smile.
"Of course we're here to see how Young Master Qin dominates the battlefield and wins even that blind fool's underwear."
Da Bao curled his lip. What kind of bullshit adjective is that? Who wants to win that guy's underwear?
Before He Jiaming could finish speaking, a furious voice rang out.
"You bastard, I'd like to see who wins whose underwear!"
