1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

In order to avoid embarrassment, Lu Chen brought Yun Wanting a glass of wine and prepared to change the topic.

Seeing Yun Wanting taking the wine he handed over, Lu Chen picked up his glass and said to Yun Wanting:

"Ms. Yun, thank you for helping me out this time."

Then Lu Chen took a sip of wine. Yun Wanting rolled her eyes at Lu Chen and followed suit.

After Lu Chen accompanied Yun Wanting to drink for a while, Yun Wanting left the bar and returned to the cabin.

Lu Chen felt really bored staying in the bar alone. Not long after Yun Wanting left the bar, he also left.

After leaving the bar, Lu Chen began to wander aimlessly. When passing a traffic jam, he met Duncan who was coming out of the casino with his head down.

Lu Chen ran over and called out to Duncan.

"Hey, man, you look so downcast. Did you lose a lot of money in there?"

Duncan looked frustrated. He said:

"I was unlucky today. I met a fat woman with super good luck. I lost a lot."

Lu Chen asked curiously: "How much did you lose in there?"

Duncan held up a finger.

Lu Chen thought to himself, Duncan is a boss, and $10,000 certainly won't make him depressed. He said tentatively:

"One hundred thousand?"

Duncan shook his head.

Lu Chen was a little surprised, swallowed his saliva, and said in disbelief:

"Is it one million?"

Duncan grabbed his hair and nodded painfully. He said with great regret:

"I don't know what happened to me today. I suddenly got into a fight with that fat woman. I lost one million without realizing it. This is all the working capital my company has now. I don't know how to explain it to my family when I get home."

Hearing Duncan's words, Lu Chen instantly became excited. He had always wanted to own a shipbuilding company. He was almost going crazy thinking about it, so when he heard that Green had two medium-sized shipyards, he immediately wanted to buy them.

The company called Duncan has millions of liquid funds. His shipbuilding company must be large and can definitely build large ships. He was a little jealous. Now that this guy has lost all his liquid funds, this is a good opportunity.

But the more it is at this time, the more he needs to remain calm. If he directly says that he wants to invest in the shipyard, Duncan will definitely feel that he is taking advantage of someone in distress.

He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Duncan, how did you lose the million? Did you lose all the time?"

Duncan shook his head and said unwillingly:

"How is that possible? If I had been losing, I would have stopped playing long ago. I was winning until the last hand. After the last hand, the fat woman and I had a pair of rival cards, and we both held on until the cards were revealed. I had A and 10 suited, and the fat woman had AQ suited."

After saying that, Duncan angrily hit the wall next to him.

Then Duncan looked at Lu Chen with red eyes and said, "Mr. Lu, I will mortgage my company's shares to you. Please lend me some money."

Lu Chen was a little excited. He didn't expect that Duncan would actually borrow money to gamble. He thought for a moment and said:

"Mr. Duncan, what are you talking about? Well, I will lend you $100,000 directly. You don't need to mortgage your shares."

As he spoke, Lu Chen wrote a check for $100,000 and handed it to Duncan.

Duncan took the check and went back into the casino. Lu Chen quickly followed him in.

Lu Chen followed Duncan to the front desk. After Duncan exchanged the chips, Lu Chen took out a stack of bills and said to the front desk:

"Give me ten thousand dollars in chips."

The receptionist took Lu Chen's money, counted the amount, and then slowly took out chips totaling 10,000 yuan from the drawer.

While taking the chips, Lu Chen asked, "Beauty, Mr. Duncan who was with me just now really exchanged one million chips from you today."

The beautiful receptionist smiled and nodded.

"You should persuade your friend. His luck is not very good today. It's not enough to lose one million. Now he has changed his chips to 100,000."

Lu Chen took out a fifty-dollar chip and handed it to the beautiful receptionist.

"Thank you for telling me. I will persuade him."

After that, Lu Chen left the front desk and walked into the casino. After entering the casino, Lu Chen began to look for Duncan, and soon Lu Chen found Duncan at a poker table.

Lu Chen walked slowly towards Duncan, observing the other people at the gambling table as he walked.

In addition to Duncan, there were six other people at the gambling table, including one woman and five men.

Walking to Duncan's side, Lu Chen saw clearly the only woman at the gambling table. Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this woman the heavyweight beauty who had come to drink with him in the bar?

Lu Chen frowned. He didn't expect that the fat woman Duncan was talking about was her.

Seeing Lu Chen coming, this heavyweight beauty smiled and said to Lu Chen:

"Handsome guy, I didn't expect we would meet again. Do you want to play a few games together? If you don't have money, I can lend you some."

As she spoke, she randomly picked up a dozen chips from the pile of chips in front of her and handed them to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen waved the chips in his hand towards the heavyweight beauty.

"No, I have it myself."

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't want her chips, the heavyweight beauty didn't insist. She played with the chips in her hand and said to Lu Chen with a smile:

"Since you have the chips, why don't you sit down and play a few rounds?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the dealer on the table signaled that it was her turn to speak.

Without any hesitation, she threw the dozen or so chips in her hand into the pile of chips.

"I'll follow."

Lu Chen looked at the chips she threw out, and the total amount was actually 10,000. Then Lu Chen looked at Duncan.

Duncan looked at the woman, then nervously picked up his cards.

Duncan picked up the cards and slowly moved his hand away. Lu Chen also moved over.

The first card Duncan opened was an A, and the second card was a Q.

At this point, Duncan closed his eyes and prayed for a while before looking at the next card. When Duncan completely revealed the last card, Duncan breathed a sigh of relief. The last card was also a Q.

He thought about it and followed suit, placing a bet of 20,000.

When the other people saw Duncan bet 20,000, they all picked up their cards and looked at them. After looking at the cards, four people threw away their cards. The remaining person smiled and took out 20,000 to follow suit.

The woman glanced at the man, without even looking at the cards. She glanced at the chips in front of Duncan. She smiled and said to Duncan:

"You still have 70,000 chips left in front of you. I'll just bet the chips on your table."

After saying that, she counted out thirty-five thousand chips and threw them in the middle of the gambling table.

Duncan held his own cards, hesitating whether to continue playing.

Lu Chen stood by, frowning as he looked at the people at the table. In just a short while, the stakes had become so high, which Lu Chen had not expected.

He looked at the sturdy woman. Didn't she think twice before placing her bet?

After thinking for a while, Duncan still didn't have the courage to bet, so he discarded the cards in his hand. After Duncan discarded his cards, the person behind him looked at the cards in his hand, then counted his chips, and then directly counted out 70,000 chips and threw them in.

He said to the woman, "I'll follow."

The woman casually glanced at her cards and then folded them.

After watching a few games next to Duncan, Lu Chen felt something was wrong. He felt that several people at the gambling table seemed to be in the same group.

He found that every time the woman raised the bet, she would unconsciously look at her previous and opposite parties.

After this discovery, Lu Chen began to observe a few people closely.

After watching a few more rounds, Lu Chen discovered that every time the woman got a good card, she would turn the ring on her left hand.

Every time her opponent has a good hand, he will also spin his ring. And her opponent does the same thing.

Lu Chen also discovered that as long as one of them turned the ring, one of the other two would definitely raise the bet.

Lu Chen looked carefully at the rings in their hands. The rings were inlaid with gemstones of three colors: red, black, and green.

Lu Chen recalled that once the woman took a pair of dice, with the black side of her ring facing outwards.

In another round, when her opponent got a straight, it was green. Could this be the pattern of their passing cards? Lu Chen guessed in his heart.

At this moment, Lu Chen saw the woman's boss turn the ring on his hand, exposing the black gem.

The woman glanced at the player above her again, then she took out 20,000 chips and threw them on the table.

"I'll bet 2."

Duncan looked at his cards. This time, Duncan's cards were pretty good, a flush. He pushed all his chips out. Then he said:

“I’m all in.”

Lu Chen shook his head. Duncan was too impatient. Placing such a big bet, wouldn't he scare everyone at the table away?

Then Lu Chen saw that woman and her other accomplice looked at their cards, and then both discarded their cards. Then the person who had turned the ring also discarded his cards.

Lu Chen was puzzled. According to the rules, the black card should represent a flush or a leopard. But he didn't expect the man to discard the card directly. Was he scared by Duncan?

Lu Chen thought about it and felt that he should get closer to confirm the pattern of how these people transmitted information. So he came to the right side of the woman.

Seeing Lu Chen standing next to her, the woman frowned slightly, then said to Lu Chen with a smile:

"Handsome guy, you think I'm lucky and want to please me. If you agree to spend a night with me, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

As she spoke, the woman took out a stack of chips and waved them towards Lu Chen.

"What do you think? Do you agree or not?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it, Madam, you should find someone else."

The woman glanced at Lu Chen and said unhappily:

"If you don't agree, stay away from me and don't stand here."

Lu Chen had no choice but to move his seat and stand next to the man who was the woman's previous home.

Lu Chen observed for a while and found that there were several times when the man next to him had good cards in his hand, but he discarded them and avoided losing money.

Lu Chen was a little confused, how did he know that others had bigger cards than him? Then Lu Chen began to observe the people standing around the gambling table.

Soon he spotted a few suspicious people. Lu Chen found that these people were wearing the same rings as the women. These people stood beside the other gamblers.

Lu Chen was basically sure that this group of people were a gang of con men. So he left the gambling table and walked towards another one.

As soon as Lu Chen left the gambling table, a man wearing a ring followed him.

Lu Chen's heart tightened. Would these people realize that he had seen through them? He calmly walked to a dice table, took out a chip, and threw it casually into the area marked with big.

Then he followed the crowd and started roaring while looking at the dice cup.

The man had been observing Lu Chen for more than ten minutes before leaving the gambling table. Lu Chen had been keeping an eye on the man following him, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him leave.

To be safe, he played at the gambling table for a while, then found a chance to find a security guard at the casino and told him what he had found.

After hearing this, the security guard immediately ran to the manager's office. Soon, a man in a suit and a bow tie, along with more than a dozen security guards, rushed towards Duncan's gambling table.

Then they arrested the woman and her accomplices without any explanation.

Duncan and other gamblers were shocked to see the people at their table being arrested. At this time, the casino manager smiled and explained to everyone.

"Don't panic, we found these people not following the rules in the casino. We took them away when we came."

The heavyweight beauty immediately struggled and said to the manager:

"What evidence do you have that we are not following the rules?"

The manager did not explain, but asked everyone to raise their hands, and then said:

"You both wear the same ring. Do you think this is a coincidence or a premeditated plan?"

The woman argued: "This doesn't prove that we cheated."

The manager said seriously: "I didn't say you cheated. I just said you didn't follow the rules of our casino."

As he said that, he had the men carried out. Then he had their chips taken away.

Lu Chen was a little confused when he saw this scene. He originally thought that the casino would return the chips to those who lost money. Lu Chen did not expect that the casino would directly take the chips away.

His idea was to wait for the casino to return the money to Duncan, then take Duncan out of the casino and make Duncan grateful to him, but now he obviously did something thankless.

After the casino manager dealt with a few people, he came to Lu Chen under the guidance of security.

The manager said to Lu Chen very politely:

"Sir, thank you very much for reporting the situation of those people to us."

As he spoke, he took a plate of chips from the confiscated chips and handed it to Lu Chen. Then he said:

"This is our casino's way of saying thank you to you. We hope you enjoy your time here."

After saying that, he left with the security guards.

Lu Chen counted the chips in his hand and found that there were 500,000 chips. Lu Chen was surprised. This casino was really generous. But when he saw the big plates of chips in the hands of the security guards, he instantly felt that this casino was too stingy. Those chips were at least 6 or 7 million. The casino really made a fortune by catching this group of cheaters.
