No wonder this bald-headed person is so slow at dealing the cards, he was actually using trickery to heat the cards and change them to what he wanted!
Now, the hole card in my hand is a 6, and I'm afraid the female dealer calculated this long ago and has secretly passed the information to the bald-headed person.
If the bald-headed person changes to an 8, he's definitely planning to overpower me completely!
When Zhenfei learned that this damned bald-headed person was using such means to switch cards, he really wished he could expose their conspiracy right there and then.
However, he hadn't won any money yet, and revealing the scam now would indeed ruin Golden Teeth's casino's reputation, but he wouldn't get any real benefit from it. He must not act too hastily.
Hehe, baldy, so you can swap cards, huh? Don't think I don't know how to do it myself!
Seeing the bald-headed person and people like Golden Teeth being so smug, Zhenfei decided not to make a move yet. It would be better to take a good sum first and then deal with these clowns later.
However, Zhenfei's cheating skills are absolutely top-notch. He deliberately didn't cheat earlier, so the female dealer could guess his hand. It was just to put them at ease so he could make his next move.
"I bet four hundred thousand!"
After seeing the hole card he had changed, the bald-headed person smiled triumphantly, showing his teeth and without hesitation pushed out a stack of chips.
And the chips he pushed out were equivalent to the amount in front of Zhenfei by design, also at the behest of Golden Teeth.
Golden Teeth planned to make Zhenfei lose everything in one round, to dampen the young man's spirits.
Of course, he could have had the bald-headed person bet even more, but if Zhenfei didn't follow, his plan would be worthless!
"Hehe, it's only a mere four hundred thousand. I'll call it!"
Zhenfei was well aware of Golden Teeth's plot. With a cold laugh and without a second thought, he pushed all his chips forward as well.
"I bet four hundred thousand too!"
"I'm in!"
...
Seeing such a modest young man like Zhenfei bet so generously, the other gamblers at the table also started placing their bets one after the other.
Zhenfei calculated in his mind, estimating that about a dozen people placed bets, and just this table alone held over five million in chips.
Hehe, the money Qin Fanghuai shelled out was enough to pull back in!
"Alright, everyone has placed their bets, no more bets, please!"
Seeing everyone had finished betting, the female dealer used a scoop to gather all the chips in the center of the table, then she told everyone to reveal their hole cards in turn.
When the female dealer said this, her demeanor was calm and collected. She had dealt the cards and of course knew that only the bald-headed person would be the ultimate winner.
As for the others, sorry, they would be buried along with Zhenfei!
As expected, when everyone revealed their cards one by one, they each showed a look of disappointment.
"Sir, please reveal your card!" the female dealer looked at Zhenfei with an expressionless face, signaling him to reveal his card.
"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry. Let this bald-headed brother reveal his first!"
Zhenfei casually pointed at the bald-headed person with a knowing grin on his face.
"Kid, you might regret this. If I reveal a high card, you won't even have the chance to cry!"
The bald-headed person, looking quite smug and after exchanging a glance with Golden Teeth, put on an airs as he spoke to Zhenfei.
"Heh heh, it's nothing. You have to accept losses when you gamble, and regretting won't help. I don't switch cards!"
Ling Zhenfei deliberately laughed oddly and bit down hard on the words "switch cards," as if to purposely let the Bald-Headed Person hear.
"Hmph, kid, since you're looking for death, I'll grant you a swift one!"
The Bald-Headed Person shuddered at these words, glared at Ling Zhenfei fiercely, and with a grunt, deliberately mustered a bearing that seemed to shake the very earth, before slamming the bottom card from in front of him on the table towards Ling Zhenfei.
Diamond 6!
When the Bald-Headed Person, the Female Dealer, and Golden Teeth - among others - saw the final card revealed before their eyes, and it was not the expected Clubs 8 but a Diamond 6, they were all instantly dumbstruck!
How could it be the Diamond 6? Wasn't that Ling Zhenfei's bottom card? How did it end up in the Bald-Headed Person's hands?
This question was the common doubt in the minds of the Bald-Headed Person and the others, but even though they were so shocked their eyeballs almost burst out, they dared not make a sound. They could only stare dumbly at the last bottom card in Ling Zhenfei's hand, silently hoping not to witness another scene they couldn't bear to see.
"Heh heh, Baldy, that card of yours is pretty big. But it seems like you're only dreaming if you think you can beat me," said Ling Zhenfei with a sneer, as he took in their shocked expressions and slowly and deliberately revealed his last bottom card in the view of everyone present.
Clubs 8!
Holy crap, it was the highest card in the room, the Clubs 8!
In that moment, when Ling Zhenfei's bottom card was revealed, the entire room let out a collective gasp of astonishment!
However, while the rest of the gamblers were surprised, the Bald-Headed Person, Golden Teeth, the Female Dealer, and their cohorts were terrified!
How can it be? How can it be the Clubs 8? That was the card they had switched out, so how did it suddenly get swapped with Ling Zhenfei's bottom card?
No! It couldn't be! How could such a bizarre incident occur?
Among everyone present, the Bald-Headed Person and the Female Dealer's shock was the greatest.
The Bald-Headed Person was positive that he had switched the Clubs 8, only for it to appear in Ling Zhenfei's hand in the blink of an eye. How did it get there?
As for the Female Dealer, she was certain that Ling Zhenfei's bottom card was the Diamond 6, only to see it had somehow been switched with the Bald-Headed Person's. What the?
Could it be... Ling Zhenfei, this kid, actually knows magic tricks?
Golden Teeth's eyes bulged incredulously. He simply couldn't believe his own eyes. If it weren't for his reputation at stake, he would have screamed out that it was impossible!
Yet, having become a big boss in his own right, Golden Teeth was no ordinary schmuck. He quickly realized that Ling Zhenfei had used an incredibly swift sleight of hand to switch the Bald-Headed Person's bottom card.
However, Ling Zhenfei's technique was just too fast. He had managed to deceive everyone present, including Golden Teeth himself, with no one able to discern how he performed such a mystifying card switch.
At this point, even though Golden Teeth clearly understood that Ling Zhenfei had cheated, he was utterly out of options. He certainly couldn't just come out and accuse Ling Zhenfei of cheating, could he?
After all, his casino's booming business was all thanks to assuring gamblers from all over that no cheating would ever occur. To expose Ling Zhenfei now would be akin to slapping his own face, wouldn't it?
"Kid, you... you clearly had the Diamond 6, how did it turn into the Clubs 8? You must have cheated... you definitely cheated!"
While Golden Teeth was silently mulling it over, Du Xiao Ma, upon seeing this situation, couldn't help but point at Ling Zhenfei and loudly accuse him without thinking.
"Ah! Cheat in Gambling? There are cheats in the casino?"
True to form, this outcry from Du Xiao Ma immediately sent the gamblers present into panic, stirring up a flurry of anxious chatter.
They all believed that the casino was a safe environment, free from cheats, which is why they had the confidence to gamble freely. If there really were cheats, who would dare to come in the future?
