Twenty-seven Bet

When I returned to the hotel, the sky was already hazy and bright, and the distant sea surface was already a little yellow. A new day came unexpectedly, so the sun was coming soon!

I couldn't bear to wake up Zhou Yi who was sleeping, so I didn't open the bedroom door, but just wiped my face with cold water and moved my waist for a while. I worked all night and my neck became a little sore, but fortunately I didn't feel too tired.

I quietly opened the balcony where I could see the sea view, made a cup of quick-melting coffee, lit a cigarette, and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the sea, and quietly waited for the arrival of dawn.

With a creaking sound, the bedroom door rang. I didn't look back, but only smelled the familiar fragrance, and knew that it was still waking Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi walked over slowly, his hands passed through my waist, hugged me, and his head gently leaned against my back. He said with some angrily and pity, "Along, you have stayed up late again." I didn't turn around, just let her hug him, enjoying this moment of warmth.

"Along, go to bed quickly. I feel so sorry for you to work so hard!"

I spitted a long sip of cigarettes, sipped the coffee gently, and smiled and said, "It's okay, your husband has energy! Do you want to prove it now?" As I said that, I was about to turn around and hug her.

However, Zhou Yi did not let me turn around. He clasped my hands tightly, kissed me gently on my neck, and said gently: "No, I don't pity my body. If you do this, how can I leave with confidence?"

"You've packed it up, is the time set?" I put the coffee cup on the balcony, turned slowly, and said to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi was wearing my white shirt, and his bare and slender thighs looked so sexy and charming in the morning breeze. When the wind blew, her curves were so heart-wrenching.

I picked her up and said softly, "I'm not good at it, it's easy to catch a cold!" I was about to carry her back into the house, but Zhou Yi struggled and said, "No, I want to watch the sunrise with you! Wow, it's so beautiful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden color appeared on the sea in the distance. The brilliant waves flashed like the golden scales of red carp, and half of the soft red sun had quietly appeared in the sky. A dazzling yellow halo flashed between the sky, just like the beautiful texture of the old film. The morning glow was everywhere, and everything was like a dream.

I held Zhou Yi tightly in my arms, and felt an indescribable sense of happiness in my heart. I sat with my beloved wife and watched the sunrise and sunset. This should be the most beautiful scenery in the world and the greatest happiness in life.

"Along, I want you to hold me like this forever! Forever!" Zhou Yi closed his eyes and murmured softly.

I didn't say anything, just let out a soft nod, lowered my body, kissed her on the cheek, then leaned over and picked her up, and walked towards the bedroom. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, she could not catch a cold.

"We have packed up our things and the air ticket has been booked. The plane in the afternoon!" Zhou Yi lay on my chest, caressed me gently with his hands, and said slowly.

I rubbed her hair, smiled, and said, "Do you still hate me very much? Let you leave alone again!"

Zhou Yi nodded softly with his nose, and his slender fingers gently wandered along the scar on my chest, but said, "I have never hated you, never. But this time, if it weren't for Zhiyun accompanying me, I would have said that I wouldn't want to leave you!"

"I'm sorry!" I didn't know how to say it for a while. I owe too much to Zhou Yi!

Zhou Yi reached out and gently pressed my mouth, kissed my chest, and said, "I don't want you to say sorry. I know my man better than anyone else. Although I am a jealous little girl, I never want to be tied to you because of my own selfishness!" He said, "Along, you are so lucky. A woman like me is almost extinct! You must cherish it."

"Xiao Yi, actually, my real name is not..." I was about to say that Zhou Yi had reached out again, covered my mouth, and smiled and said, "Don't say, when I knew you, you were called Along, so you will always be my Along. As long as you are my husband, I don't care what your real name is! I don't care who you are, will you still care about your name?"

Zhou Yi buried his head in my arms and kept shouting: "Husband, husband..."

I was a little moved, but I didn't know what to say, so I could only hug her tightly and gently caress Zhou Yi's smooth back. Indeed, it was really the greatest luck in my life to meet a woman like Zhou Yi who is loving but so strong.

"If another woman is willing to let you do such a dangerous thing, she will definitely not love you enough. But I know I am not."

I couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the reason? I feel so relieved!"

"Of course! Because I am your woman, I know you must be fine. If you don't even believe in you, how can you be your woman?" After Zhou Yi said that, he lowered his head and gently licked my abdominal groove with the tip of his hot tongue, which made me feel lustful. He couldn't help but moaning that was extremely comfortable.

"Do you like it?" Zhou Yi asked me in an intoxicating and sexy tone while licking it. I took a long breath and said, "I like it, it feels so comfortable!" He reached out and groped at her pink breasts.

However, Zhou Yi laughed, got up, made a cute face at me, and said, "If you feel comfortable, let me sleep well, don't be rude!"

But how could my desire to ignite so easily? With a gentle pull of my hand, I pulled her back to the bed, and my body turned, pressing her under my body. When my lips were connected, Zhou Yi suddenly lost his resistance and looked at me hatefully, struggling and said, "Bad guy, downstream embryo, you're going to be unbearable again!"

"I'm not bad at all. Isn't this a waiter for my wife?" Amid my laughter, Zhou Yi closed his eyes with pleasure, and a faint moan began to echo in my ears. The light red sunlight reflected into the room, and her pure and beautiful body burned like a red glow, making people feel heart-pounding.

On the expressway outside the airport, the car was racing like a flying car. "Is that sister-in-law just now?" Xu Zhiheng, who was focused on driving, suddenly turned his head slightly, glanced at me, and smiled at me.

I nodded, looked at a plane that had just rushed into Yunxiao outside the window, and listened to the loud noise, but I was a little stunned. I thought I knew her very well, but now I realized that under Zhou Yi's seemingly weak appearance, there were many strengths I could not imagine.

Like last time, she left so resolutely. No matter how nostalgic she was, she would never want me to be in a slight dilemma! If you get a wife like this, what else does your husband want? It’s a pity that there are still many things I have to do.

"Sister-in-law is very beautiful." Xu Zhiheng said while driving: "But Brother Wen, you are so tough. If it were me who had such a beautiful wife, I wouldn't bear to let her leave alone!"

I smiled speechlessly, and watched the plane less and less in the sky. Then I came to my senses and said, "Stop talking nonsense, what do you say, are you in touch?"

Seeing that I mentioned the important matter, Xu Zhiheng couldn't help but say, "We've contacted you all, you're right. He's still used to it and often goes to Chu Jian to play. He just doesn't know if he will come tonight."

I nodded gently. I had no doubt about Xu Zhiheng's efficiency. After obtaining information about Zhang Zifan and Xiao Jian last night, we had re-formed our plan.

Xu Zhiheng's efficiency was indeed good. It was only one afternoon. He had already contacted a guy named Chu Jian as I told him. This guy named Chu Jian drove a very luxurious billiards city in E City, which also had a hidden luxury casino. According to him, every Friday night, Xiao Jian and a group of princelings from E City would play snooker or play cards in his billiards city.

I have been to this billiards city with Xiao Shijie and Xiao Jian several times, but I didn’t expect that after so long, Xiao Jian still likes to go here to play. Or anyone has some habits that are difficult to change.

As the lights come on, e-city presents a prosperous atmosphere of gold and colorfulness.

Just after dinner, Xu Zhiheng and I came to this billiards club called "Famous Guns". This billiards city is located in a very high-end star hotel in E City. It is decorated in luxuriously and basically uses the British Shichuang competition table. Just look at the commemorative photos hanging on the wall, you can see that many outstanding snooker and nine-ball players at home and abroad have played here.

Playing ball here is quite expensive, so although there are no reservations and there are still free tables. Xu Zhiheng and I came a little early. We waited for a while in the bar and waited for a long time. Seeing that Xiao Jian had not arrived yet, we just made do with a few games.

Compared with my fighting level, my snooker is far inferior to my typical amateur level, with a super strong performance of only more than 20 points. Xu Zhiheng grew up in Hong Kong and was deeply influenced by his skills. His football skills are really good among amateur players. He didn't need to be able to get straight to me in three rounds without having to learn more.

"Oh, you guys said that you are a man of a mistress. You are so strong, and you are almost half a profession." I smiled at Xu Zhiheng. It is true that Zhiheng is very good at this guy. I was shot by him for 40 or 50 points in three consecutive games.

Xu Zhiheng smiled and said, "I used to be a professional gambling gambler. As long as I can gamble, I have to know a little, otherwise I can't make it! But I'm really not good at snooker."

I put the gun on and said, "Resting and fighting with you is simply a personal show. In my opinion, you should just deal with me casually. It is definitely not your true level. I honestly explain how high your true level is."

Xu Zhiheng shrugged, smiled cunningly, and said, "It's not just to deal with it casually, but you don't have to use all your strength to deal with an outsider like you!" I laughed, spat him gently, and said, "I don't believe I can't deal with you in another game!"

While laughing, Chu Jian, wearing a suit and tie, came over. After not seeing him for more than a year, he still has such a charm and always gives people a spotless feeling.

Just from his eyes when he looked at me, I knew that he would definitely not recognize me. And he was not very familiar with me either. There was a person standing beside him, Awei's friend Zhao Guobang.

Zhao Guobang is Awei's buddy, so he naturally knows Xu Zhiheng. When he saw Xu Zhiheng, he couldn't help but say a few words next to Chu Jian, which was obviously the intention of introducing.

"Mr. Xu, right?" Chu Jian walked straight towards Xu Zhiheng. Xu Zhiheng nodded and said, "I am!" As he said that, he put the gun back into the gun stand. Chu Jian glanced at us and said, "Abang has told me that you want to join the game tonight?"

In fact, it’s not only Awei who knows Abang, but I have met him before. After all, they are all people who are in E-City. They are not familiar with each other, but people must have met him. Of course, it’s been a long time since I changed a lot, and like Chu Jian, he can’t recognize me anymore. So I asked Awei to contact Chu Jian for us, but I just didn’t want to know that it was me behind the scenes. And I just wanted to meet Xiao Jian through this opportunity. I didn’t want to do anything, I just wanted to see how he is in his current state.

Xu Zhiheng nodded and said, "Yes, we want to have fun, there is no problem, right?" Chu Jian replied with a smile: "Since it was introduced by Abang, there is definitely no problem. Moreover, we are a star-rated hotel, which is absolutely safe and reliable."

"Is this?" Chu Jian looked at me and said. Xu Zhiheng smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. Wen from Hong Kong, and I am my friend. I happened to meet him, so let's have fun together."

Chu Jian looked at me and smiled and said, "Since they are all friends, there is no need to say more. Let's go, and the game will start soon!"

Xu Zhiheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Xiao..." Naturally, he wanted to ask if Xiao Jian was here. I grabbed him. Although the purpose of our visit here was to see Xiao Jian, there was no need to be so deliberate. Chu Jian didn't care, and just said, "I will introduce other friends to you later."

Under his leadership, we walked through a corridor and entered a secret door behind the hall. It suddenly became clear. There was a hidden casino of nearly 300 square meters inside, and there were many people playing, both foreigners and domestic tourists. There were also many platforms, and the roulette was flying around, and the atmosphere was very lively. Of course, most of them were playing baccarat. It seemed that the opening here was quite arrogant. Perhaps as Chu Jian said, because it was set up in a five-star hotel, it met the needs of foreigners, and the police were too lazy to interfere.

The screams of "Blow, blow! Three sides! Four sides!" were constantly rising and falling. As we just walked past a baccarat table, a player excitedly threw out a nine and a j, obviously in his grasp of the victory scroll, and he was extremely excited.

I turned to look at Xu Zhiheng, smiled and said, "Why, are you excited when you see your old profession?" Xu Zhiheng used to be a professional gambling gambler, which I know. I just haven't seen how high his gambling skills are.

Xu Zhiheng shook his head gently, glanced at the excited players on the poker table, and smiled indifferently: "You should know that I am not very good at gambling, and relatively speaking, I don't like playing Baccarat very much, and there is not much technology to talk about. Deciding based on the third card demand and the number of water pumps, if there is no more than a thousand, the dealer's winning margin will always be high." I said: "How high is it?" Xu Zhiheng frowned and laughed: "It depends on whether you are idle when buying a dealer, usually 1.06% to 1.24%. Why do you ask about the probability that you are here? Just go and think about it! You can still lose to death."

I looked at Chu Jian who was walking in front of me, thinking that he might not be able to hear our conversation, and smiled and said, "No, let's see how professional you are. Then what do you like to play? What is more technical?"

Xu Zhiheng looked forward and smiled, "Uh, those!" Looking along with his eyes, he saw that Chu Jian had already asked someone to open the VIP gambling room, which was a huge poker table inside.

Nearly ten people had sat inside, and they had obviously played for a while. They were in the middle of a handsome young man with a straight suit all night and a shy smile on his face at any time, which was Xiao Jian, who had been missing for a long time.

I paused for a moment and took a deep breath. This was the third old acquaintance I had to face after Shi Shaoqiang and Xu Youni. Even more than the last time Xiao Jian saw me, Shi Xu and others, the last time Xiao Jian had seen me was shorter. I really didn't have absolute confidence that he could deny me. Since Zhou Yi recognized me at a glance, my confidence in my appearance changed has been greatly reduced.

"It's okay, he will definitely not recognize it!" Xu Zhiheng patted my shoulder and whispered: "You have very stylish glasses today and your hair has been dyed again. It would be strange if he can recognize it!"

I nodded and laughed, "Go in!" As Xu Zhiheng said, since I was recognized by Zhou Yi, I changed the color of my hair again, and then paired it with a pair of glasses with a little color, adjusted my appearance, and added that my hair has grown a lot more during this period. The change now is bigger than when I first came to E-City, and it has been recognized by Zhou Yi. Even she said it was difficult to recognize it, so I should believe it.

As for the entry of the two strangers, these princelings who were playing cards all turned around and glanced at us with a suspicion.

Xiao Jian was no exception. When he looked at me, the corners of his mouth frowned slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After not seeing him for more than a year, he became much more mature than before. Although he kept smiling, his eyes were even more sharp. Of course, I know better than anyone else. This guy looks weak and makes people look like a stupid young man, but in fact he should not be underestimated at all.

I still remember how he dealt with Xiao Jin in the meal gambling game celebrating Xiao Wanquan's birthday. I even know that Xiao Wanquan definitely cooperated with Xiao Jian when dealing with Xiao Shijie, because it was Xiao Jian who accompanied Xiao Wanquan to the so-called United States for treatment. It is hard to say whether Xiao Jian reminded Xiao Wanquan to pay attention to Xiao Shijie on the way.

After all, Xiao Jian knows Xiao Shijie's ambitions better than anyone else! No matter how Xiao Jian is dissatisfied with Xiao Jin, he is a brother after all. If he knew that Xiao Shijie really killed Xiao Jin, there would be no reason to remain silent.

"Everyone continue playing, I will introduce two new friends to you, Xu Sheng and Wen Sheng from Hong Kong!" Chu Jian asked the waiter to lead us to sit down in front of the stage and introduce us to the gamblers present. This group of gamblers are obviously familiar with each other, and they are gambled while laughing. It is not so much a bet, but rather a party.

I'm not very good at betting. Seeing so many people sitting on the same table, I didn't quite understand what they were playing. Xu Zhiheng was naturally so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar. He just glanced at the cards on the table and smiled and said, "Omaha, I like it! I didn't expect that there are still people in China to play this."

As he said that, he looked at me in a low voice and said, "Can you play?" I shook my head. Popular entertainment such as baccarat is okay, and I have never heard of omaha. Besides, I didn't plan to bet, and for me, the money in my hand is not for squandering. Of course, I can't control Xu Zhiheng, at least I know very well that if he deliberately wins, it's really hard to lose.

A person who can be called a professional gambling gambler is definitely not that bad. Just looking at the faint and unconfident smile that suddenly flashed between his eyebrows as soon as he sat down the table, I think I finally understood the difference between a gambler and a professional gambling gambler.

Zhiheng once told me that he is not actually addicted to gambling, but just treats it as a profession. I believe what he said, because I know that any interest and hobby becomes a profession that makes a living may not be interesting. It is like it is difficult for professional players to experience the fun of playing wild football again. A star or Warcraft RPO player also lacks the taste of the game itself. The result of persistence in winning and losing is a burden.

"You play, I'll watch you play." I nodded to Xu Zhiheng. Xu Zhiheng nodded, lowered his head and said a few words to Chu Jian. Obviously, he was asking about the size of the bet. After getting the answer, he took out his credit card and handed it to Chu Jian.

I asked for a glass of water and sat quietly beside them watching them play cards. Beside me were the young and beautiful girls brought by the princelings, all of whom were dressed up in a colorful manner, which was dazzling.

I didn't even care how big their bets were. In this regard, Xu Zhiheng didn't need me to worry about, and his personal assets were not necessarily small. In Heizi's words, if it weren't for him to repay President Wu's life-saving grace, Xiaoyi Hexingshe would not be able to tolerate him at all. This also shows that Xu Zhiheng was indeed a kind person who was very kind.

"fold, call." These guys are quite professional in betting, and all terms are spoken in English. Fortunately, my English level is now at a very high level. Otherwise, I would not have understood the rules, if I hadn't looked at the final chip push, I might not have even known the winner or lose.

However, all the gambling rules are not complicated in themselves. I just watched them several games and I already know the way to play. They are a bit similar to Texas Hold'em. It's just that after calling for a bet, I draw two of the four cards in my hand and combine them with three of the five public cards displayed on the table to create the final victory or defeat. This naturally has a lot of variables, and the possibility of big cards being formed is higher, but in the end, it is the player's psychology and the cards in their hands.

After playing for almost an hour, the situation gradually became brighter. I saw that the chips on the table were gradually piled up in front of a few people. The one with the most chips was Xiao Jian. This guy opened a casino in the United States and his card skills were quite good. He once treated Xiao Jin.

Xu Zhiheng was indeed not weak either. Although he came late, he came from behind and the bargaining chips in front of him were almost as good as Xiao Jian.

"This man is so awesome! I don't know what it is." A few beautiful girls behind me looked at Xu Zhiheng's performance and couldn't help asking each other.

At this time, the final confrontation between Xiao Jian and Xu Zhiheng had formed on the table. Xiao Jian still had a faint smile on his face, and suddenly said to Xu Zhiheng: "It's amazing, I won so much for the first time!" Xu Zhiheng said leisurely: "The newcomer is lucky." Xiao Jian smiled and said: "Is that right?" As he said that, he fiddled with the chips in front of him and smiled: "I think we both have the same chips. I'm a little more than you. Since you have so much luck, why don't you win more, all-in."

Xu Zhiheng shook his head and said, "No matter how lucky you are, you have to look at the cards. When we meet for the first time, we should make friends instead of fighting for the best." He said, "I'll give up." He said, "I'll give up." He said, "I'll raise you, and you'll be calling fold."

However, Xiao Jian also raised his hand and stopped him and said, "This is not the first time we met. In Las Vegas three years ago, the name of the genius ghost player Xu Zhiheng almost broke my small casino!"

Now, Xu Zhiheng and I were both stunned. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jian knew Xu Zhiheng and his past.

Fortunately, Xu Zhiheng was not an ordinary person. He was stunned for a few seconds and turned to a faint smile and said, "Why, it turns out that you were the ones who started the eeenivition?" Xiao Jian nodded slightly and continued to smile, "Did you know what you only knew? I haven't seen you for many years, and I thought you had retired, but I didn't expect you to see you again."
To be continued...
