The four people sat down at the table and started playing cards.
Zhang Muwei, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, deftly shuffled, arranged, and dealt the cards.
Lin Fan immediately understood from his actions—this guy had been playing around a lot.
Gambling is also a very common bad habit in rural areas!
Many people are addicted to gambling and wish they could spend 24 hours a day at the gambling table.
If you ask him to farm or go to work, he'll be listless and lack energy, and he won't be interested at all.
If you let him play mahjong or poker, his eyes will light up instantly, like a cat seeing a mouse.
Just like Wu Lao Er before him, his thoughts and actions have been controlled by gambling.
Aside from gambling, there's nothing else that can stimulate them to release dopamine.
The Lunar New Year is the worst time for migrant workers, who often lose all the money they've earned during the year by gambling.
Cases of wives and children being torn apart, families being destroyed, and people dying are all too common!
Calling them gambling addicts is no exaggeration!
"Brother Wang, what do you think is a suitable bet?"
Zhang Muwei, with a cigarette butt dangling from his lips, asked with a smile.
"Brother Wei, didn't you just say that a little gambling is harmless fun?"
"Let's just play around a bit and have some fun, that way it won't hurt our feelings."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
He was as wary and cautious as a novice.
"Then let's settle for five or ten yuan."
After Zhang Muwei finished speaking, he secretly winked at the other two.
"Yes, let's play smaller, just for fun."
Chen Dabao immediately nodded in agreement.
"I'm fine with anything, I'll listen to you!"
Yan Tao echoed in agreement.
After the game started, Lin Fan was unstoppable and had incredible luck.
If you get a high card, people will follow; if you get a low card, everyone will fold.
However, Lin Fan knew that these three people were setting a trap for him—three acquaintances against a stranger, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
In this way, he quickly won nearly two thousand yuan.
"My brothers, you're too kind! Hahaha!"
"Looks like my prayers to the Fox Spirit today really worked! I'm lucky!"
As Lin Fan collected the money, he kissed the talisman.
His acting was flawless; there wasn't a single flaw to be found!
"Brother Wang, I told you you'd be lucky today."
Zhang Muwei chimed in from the side.
He sneered inwardly, thinking that the kid had finally taken the bait.
"It's...today is your day to make a fortune."
Chen Dabao nodded vigorously.
"I'm having a lucky day!"
Lin Fan beamed with pride.
"However, I think the stakes are too low, and it's not exciting enough."
Yan Tao suddenly said, "Brother Wang, how about we play a little bigger?"
"If you maintain this momentum, who can beat you?"
"Brother Wang, what do you think?"
Zhang Muwei looked at Lin Fan and asked.
"Are you really going to go all out?"
Lin Fan pretended to be hesitant.
"You keep winning, so why don't you go all out?"
“We brothers often play like this, and it doesn’t hurt our friendship.”
Zhang Muwei kept urging him on.
This is how they lure so many people into the abyss.
"How big of a bet?"
Lin Fan asked in a low voice.
"Fifty or one hundred, I guess."
Zhang Muwei spoke lightly.
"So big?"
Lin Fan finally understood where these guys who idled away their days got their money.
People from an impoverished county are taking such huge gambles!
"It's not that big, we didn't even play the ones that cost 100 or 200."
Chen Dabao said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll play with you guys."
Lin Fan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Brother Wang, you're so generous!"
"No wonder your business is so big."
Zhang Muwei gave a thumbs up and tapped the edge of the table with his other hand.
This knocking was actually their code.
It means that Lin Fan was allowed to win when they first came up.
Once he lowers his guard, then we'll begin to close the net.
As expected, Lin Fan won the first five games!
After those five hands of cards, he had three thousand yuan more in front of him.
"Wow, my luck is just too good."
"If I had that kind of luck, why would I have bothered with all that work before?"
Lin Fan grew increasingly smug, even putting the cigarette Zhang Muwei had offered him into his mouth.
"You bet... I told you you were lucky today."
Zhang Muwei got up and took a briefcase from the inner room.
After unzipping the zipper, a thick wad of cash was revealed.
There are tens of thousands!
He gave Chen Dabao and Yan Tao tens of thousands of yuan each.
"Brother Wei, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Lin Fan said cautiously, "If I win by a large margin, wouldn't you be at a huge loss?"
"Brother Wang, what are you saying? Are you looking down on me?"
Zhang Muwei rolled his eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, my brother does have some talent."
As long as you win through your own ability, I can afford to lose whatever it takes.
"Oh well!"
Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony with them.
Zhang Muwei coughed softly and then touched his neck.
This little gesture was a signal to the other two that it was time to close the net.
The other two received the notification; one touched his nose, and the other rubbed his eyes.
Lin Fan took in the three men's subtle actions and sneered inwardly.
Are you ready to close the net now?
That depends on whether I agree or not!
