I'm Just a Cash Escort, You Want Me to Be the Big Boss?

A down-and-out middle-aged man unexpectedly reincarnates back to 28 years ago. He encounters a shocking heist and activates the "Black Gold System".

"You all make as much as you c...

Chapter 81, Four Articles 7

This gambling table is for Texas Hold'em.

At this point, the situation in the bet was very clear:

Of the four, Deng Tiangang's chips were the most conservative, indicating he was betting the most steadily and likely wouldn't win much.

Sitting next to Deng Tiangang was a middle-aged man with long hair. He had the most chips in front of him and was considered the biggest winner of the night.

Lin Dong glanced at Jiang Zhongfa's chips and thought, "Damn, he only has less than 9 million left."

It seems this old fox lost badly tonight; no wonder he had the audacity to drag me into the game.

At the gambling table, the excessively beautiful Japanese woman had probably lost at least half of her chips. After hesitating for a moment, she left the table and stopped playing.

"Ms. Yamada, are you admitting defeat so soon?"

Deng Tiangang asked with a smile.

The Japanese woman, known as Yamada, performed a curtsy and apologized softly:

"Deng Jun, you grown men have no sense of chivalry at all. Zhi Zi has no choice but to admit defeat."

After saying that, Yamada Tomoko glanced at Lin Dong again, then took her leave with her two female attendants.

Huh? This Japanese girl not only has a nice voice, but she also speaks fluent Chinese.

Now, only three men remain at this gambling table: Lin Dong, Deng Tiangang, and the long-haired man.

Based on the current situation, the long-haired man and Deng Tiangang should be in cahoots, and Lin Dong had a gut feeling that this long-haired man was not simple.

"Young man, have you ever played Texas Hold'em?"

Seeing Lin Dong sitting there so casually, Deng Tiangang couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"Sorry, I've never played Texas Hold'em before, but I've seen the God of Gamblers movies, so I know the rules..."

Lin Dong didn't hide anything and revealed his entire stake in his first time betting on Texas Hold'em.

"Haha... You dare to go out and play after watching a few movies? Kid, I, Deng, admire your courage!"

"God of Gamblers? Haha... Jiang Zhongfa, you're really something, letting some greenhorn take your place?"

Deng Tiangang was genuinely amused this time.

Even the usually stern, long-haired man had a mocking smile creeping onto his lips.

"What business is it of yours, Deng Tiangang? I like it."

"Lin Dong, go all out and have fun. I'm here to support you... uh, Zhao Haosheng is backing you up."

Jiang Zhongfa asked a waiter to bring him a chair and sat behind Lin Dong to watch the game.

Zhao Haosheng, who was next to him, could only awkwardly force a smile.

Brother Jiang, you can't play tricks on me like this. My money didn't grow on trees.

"Everyone, the next round of cards is about to begin. Does anyone need to have their cards checked?"

The dealer was a tall, thin man in his thirties. At this moment, he interrupted the banter between the bosses.

"I want to verify the license plate. I suspect someone cheated before, but I have no evidence."

Lin Dong raised his hand and glanced at Deng Tiangang and the long-haired man opposite him.

"Young man, watch your mouth. Last time someone said that, they got chopped into eighteen pieces and fed to the fish before they even got ashore..."

Deng Tiangang said with a forced smile.

Lin Dong ignored him, took the playing cards handed to him by the dealer, unfolded them on the spot, and carefully examined them in his hand.

"The cards are fine."

Lin Dong returned the cards to the dealer and nodded, saying:

"We can begin."

Deng Tiangang sneered.

The long-haired man next to him stared thoughtfully at Lin Dong's movements, but did not notice that Lin Dong was sweating.

No one can cheat without making a sound in front of a gambling master like him.

Lin Dong certainly didn't cheat on the cards; he wasn't that stupid.

During the card verification process, he secretly stored the three Aces into his system space.

This space is huge! It can hide and switch cards instantly, and you can't see or find it, haha.

Tell me, in this world, which gambling master or con artist can do what he did?

If Lin Dong's guess is correct, the mysterious long-haired man opposite him must also be a master of hiding and switching cards.

"Please place your bets. Deal the cards now."

With a shout from the dealer, the three players at the table each placed 100,000 base chips into the middle.

The dealer deals two cards to each player clockwise, starting with the winner of the previous round. The first card is face down, and the second card is automatically revealed.

The long-haired man won the previous round, so he showed his cards first, which was a Queen of Hearts, a pretty good hand.

Next up was Deng Tiangang, who had a King of Clubs, making his hand even stronger.

Lin Dong's hand consisted of only a 7 of diamonds. If his bottom cards weren't a pair or an Ace, he would likely lose.

"Excuse me, I'll speak first this round. It's a newcomer, so of course we should give him a small welcome. Let's make it 500,000."

Deng Tiangang smiled and picked up 500,000 chips, tossing them into the middle of the card table:

"Your turn, young man. To follow or not to follow?"

Lin Dong flipped over a corner of the hole card and saw that it was a 4 of spades, which made him frown.

He had already activated his X-ray vision; his gaze casually swept over the hidden cards of the two opposing players:

Coincidentally, the long-haired man's hole card was the 7 of spades, while Deng Tiangang's hole card was the 7 of clubs.

In other words, the chances of Lin Dong getting a pair of 7s in this game are extremely slim.

Lin Dong knew that if the two were in cahoots, they would definitely have a way of revealing their respective trump cards to each other.

Right now, they're probably secretly thrilled to have gotten two 7s from Lin Dong.

Even with two against one, and with the cards on your side completely in your favor, let's see if Lin Dong still dares to follow.

Lin Dong revealed a corner of his trump card again, glanced at it, and pretended to hesitate for a moment:

"I don't believe you guys have a pair too. 500,000? I'll bet!"
