Chapter 384 The Richest Man Being Questioned
Inside the Crown surveillance room.

This was Chen Xi's first time to come to a place like Casino.

I've only seen it in movies before, and compared to the scenes in those Hong Kong movies, this place looks very different.

Well, the employees in charge of surveillance here are not foreigners, but all Asians, who look more like Filipino soldiers.

There are several screens in front of everyone, all of which are filled with various images. Basically every corner of Crown is within their monitoring range.

These people's eyes were like scanners, constantly scanning the screen. Chen Xi doubted whether these guys could see clearly what was on it.

Ma Yueling told him that these people were professionally trained and that the entire Crown surveillance had no blind spots. Ma Yueling called a few employees and talked to them a lot. On a large display screen, it was quickly divided into several screens, and Li Yuqing, Shi Tao and others appeared on it.

When Chen Xi saw Li Yuqing, he was shocked.

Because the chips in front of her were already piled up like a mountain, Li Yuqing's face was flushed at this moment. She was no longer as timid as before, but was extremely excited.

She and the gamblers next to her started shouting loudly. If there weren't so many people around, Chen Xi suspected that she would jump directly onto the table.

There are almost several million chips in front of Li Yuqing.

Although Shi Tao's number is a little less, it is still not a small number.

After about half an hour, Li Yuqing's good luck seemed to have run out. She started to lose money continuously, and the chips she had piled up in Switzerland gradually began to decrease.

Her emotions started to get agitated, her face flushed and she cursed loudly, just like any other gambler who had lost all his money.

The worst off is Shi Tao. He didn't win as much as Li Yuqing to begin with, and now he's back to the starting point and is still losing money.

Ma Yueling kept directing the employees around her, and the scene began to change constantly.

Several Chinese people were immediately targeted. They were the men who had brought Li Yuqing into the casino before.

These men were very calm. When they saw Li Yuqing and others losing money, they did not panic at all, but smiled.

When she saw the expressions of these people, Ma Yueling narrowed her eyes.

She took the laptop handed to her by the assistant and started typing on it.

Australian Financial Services Authority (AUSTRAC).

Crown Chairman Parker was sitting in a conference room. Opposite him, five or six staff members in neat suits were holding several documents and questioning him in detail.

"According to the documents provided by Crown, you cannot prove that you have nothing to do with these cases, and we already have sufficient evidence to confirm that the Crown Group is suspected of laundering money..." A man wearing glasses looked at Parker and said word by word.

"According to statistics, the amount of money laundered by Crown Casino has reached hundreds of millions of Australian dollars in the past few months..." A woman next to him lowered her head and looked at the document, constantly listing the specific amounts.

"The amounts in the past were even more astonishing. This number is more than enough to build several aircraft carriers..." Another man spoke with a smile.

"All our accounts are clear. The exchange of chips and payment are recorded, and we have provided you with the bank card information of those people." Parker's expression was very ugly. He understood some of the things the other party said, but not others.

As for washing rice, which casino hasn’t done it?
So many years have passed, and these guys in front of me suddenly brought up old issues. It's obvious that they have ulterior motives.

It would be impossible for Casino to maintain its business solely through the legitimate water pumping business.

People who work in this industry will deal with people of different identities, and there are many tricks involved.

Just like what the man just said, Parker not only knew about some of the previous rice-washing incidents, but he also authorized them. However, he had no idea about this incident at all.

He has already found out the suspects and informed the authorities of the information. However, instead of arresting them, these guys called him here for questioning. Their only purpose is to force him to abdicate.

"What do you want?" Parker looked at the people opposite with a cold face.

"Crown's development to its current size is inseparable from official support. The gaming industry can promote regional tourism consumption..."

"In recent years, Crown Group has paid less and less tax to the Victorian government... From hundreds of billions to tens of billions, and now to billions, do you think we are all fools? The most ridiculous thing is that you even asked the court to restore tax relief this month. Do you think the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) is blind?"

"What? Are you looking for an excuse to arrest me? And then take Crown into your own hands?" Parker sneered. He bet that the Victorian officials would not do such a stupid thing.

If he is fired, Crown will be in chaos and billions of taxes will be lost.

"This matter is actually very easy to resolve. We just need to find someone to take the blame. As for the distribution of other benefits, we can redistribute them..."

"Find someone to take the blame? Who?" Many high-level figures began to appear in Parker's mind, and he didn't know which one to choose to take the blame.

"Arlene, the woman from Australia, we discussed and decided that she is the best person to take the blame. She is not an Australian. What do you think?" The man looked at Parker with a smile.

"No, she can't move..." Parker shook his head without even thinking. Not only does the Ma family have shares in Crown, he also has businesses in Australia.

If he sells Ma Yueling, wouldn't that be cutting off his own arm?
"Arlene has a lot of shares in Crown. If we get rid of her, we can divide the shares among us..." The man continued to seduce Parker.

To be honest, this is a good idea. Someone can take the blame, and at the same time, you can get nearly 20% of the shares. It is indeed the best choice.

"I think you should just stick to running your business in Australia. Your identity won't be that useful overseas."

"In fact, if you were not so ambitious, the government would fully support you in opening a new casino in Xicun. It's a pity that you chose to develop in other countries."

As Parker listened to these people's words, his dissatisfaction gradually accumulated in his heart. As the richest man in Australia, he had a noble status, but at this moment he seemed like a clown in front of these people. There was no respect in their words, but full of ridicule and contempt.

How to do?
Give up Ma Yueling?

The Ma family will definitely take revenge on him. From now on, it will be difficult for him to survive in Australia, and even in the United States.

The Ma family is very powerful. Not only do they have deep-rooted ties in the United States, but even the current leaders in Taiwan are related to them.

These people immediately suggested that Ma Yueling take the blame without even asking if there were other candidates. It was obvious that this had been planned long ago.

The purpose should be to make it impossible for him to survive abroad, and then vigorously develop the gambling industry in Australia so that it can become an official ATM.

Because of opening casinos abroad, the Australian government does not make a penny.

Parker frowned, crossed his hands, and fell into deep thought.

The person opposite him did not urge him, but looked at each other, with a smile on his face, as if waiting for his reaction.

Parker felt both angry and amused by what these people said.

He said that if he didn't go abroad to develop, the government would support him to open a casino in Xicun.

It's just fart!
He had always wanted to open a casino in Sydney, but Australia, like the United States, was divided into several states.

There is already a casino in Sydney, and local officials have been refusing to allow Parker in to avoid competition. That’s why he went to Australia and the United States to do business.

Now he is saying some funny things here, totally treating him like a fool.

In short, people in Victoria just want money. Crown's tax payments have decreased in recent years, and they are beginning to be dissatisfied and want to get rid of it.

Crown monitoring room.

Chen Xi stared at Li Yuqing on the screen and saw that she was constantly scratching her ears and cheeks, looking irritable and restless.

The previous indomitable momentum was long gone, replaced by full of regret and irritation.

Chen Xi couldn't help but find it funny when he saw her like this.

This was the first time he saw Li Yuqing gambling in a casino. She seemed to have hardly touched playing cards before. The only time he saw her gambling was at the mahjong table in Jiangcheng, and she was playing with friends.

What is Ma Yueling doing?
Why don't you arrest people?
Looking at the woman who was still busy in front of the computer, Chen Xi was a little confused about what she was doing.

At this moment, several men on the screen began to move.

They seemed to have received some kind of signal at the same time. They took out their mobile phones from their pockets and their fingers jumped rapidly on the keyboard, obviously sending text messages non-stop.

Ma Yueling stared at the screen and then waved to the person next to her.

It wasn't long before Crown's accounting office welcomed a new group of staff.

They replaced the original employees in an orderly manner, and the original employees were gathered in a meeting room.

At this moment, Parker was holding a mobile phone, looking at the screen with a calm expression.

The group of people opposite him stared at him with some displeasure, but they did not urge him.

As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you irritate the richest man in Australia and make him do something impulsive in anger, that would be bad.

After half an hour, Shi Tao was the first to lose all his money.

He stood up and his eyes unconsciously turned to Li Yuqing. He felt an urge to go over and find out what was going on.

However, at this moment, a light cough broke the silence.

He turned his head and saw a man next to him winking at him, indicating that he should leave quickly.

Shi Tao gritted his teeth. Even though he was filled with reluctance, he could only turn around and leave helplessly.

He walked out of the VIP lounge, immediately took out his cell phone and started sending text messages to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi had been staring at the screen and had already noticed Shi Tao's unusual behavior.

When the phone in his pocket vibrated, he quickly took it out and checked it.

The screen displayed a message from Shi Tao, asking him what to do next.

Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Ma Yueling, a hint of confusion on his face.

He didn't know how to deal with it now, so he could only let Shi Tao stay where he was for the time being and wait for further news.
