The time went back to when Rong Zhi just made the call. While talking to Rong Zhi on the phone, Lin Xin remained immersed in the role and tried to please the big guys present.
Maybe it was because they had such a pleasant chat with Lin Xin, or maybe this group of big guys had a lot of free time, most of them canceled their next trips and stayed in this place to continue playing.
The casino owner was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He felt that he had made a great profit by hiring this short-term worker. When Lin Xin left, he would definitely give him a big red envelope.
It is actually very impolite to answer the phone while playing with others. I don’t know what kind of nonsense Lin Xin fed these people that made them not blame Lin Xin at all.
Lin Xin was chatting when suddenly someone broke into the VIP room.
The service and security of the VIP area were excellent enough. It was obvious that something big had happened when someone barged in without any courtesy.
Looking at the somewhat flustered VIPs, Lin Xin smiled, lowered his head to look at the phone with no signal, threw the cards in his hand casually on the table, loosened the collar of his shirt with his fingers, and said to the casino owner: "I asked you before whether anyone would be jealous of your good business and happen to you like the gang fights in the movies, but you insisted that you were operating legally. Could it be that I was right now? Are we going to act in a real-life movie?"
The casino owner sneered: "Smash my casino? Doesn't he know that he has alarmed these VIPs? Even if he smashes the casino, won't they be able to survive?"
Lin Xin said: "Of course they know, so when a casino is smashed, wouldn't it be expected that the customers inside would be respectfully asked to leave?"
The VIPs present listened to the questions and answers between the casino owner and Lin Xin, and their panic disappeared a lot.
Although it was confirmed that it might be a gang fight, it does not seem to affect their safety.
The old man with white beard laughed and said, "We actually encountered a gunfight? This is the first time I have encountered this in my life. Interesting."
The casino owner said, "I'll go out and deal with it. Dear guests, please stay out. They won't hurt you. You know, they are also doing business. How dare they offend guests?"
The old man with white beard said, "Go ahead."
The casino owner and his people left immediately. Naturally, the VIPs could no longer play and sat against the wall looking downstairs.
In order to give these VIPs a wider view, there is a wall made of color-changing tempered glass. They can see outside, but outsiders cannot see inside.
This feeling of looking down on the gamblers below will make the VIPs feel even more superior.
Now they were standing in front of the glass, watching a group of people with sticks rushing in from downstairs. The gamblers in the casino were blocked in the hall and were not allowed to go out.
They wanted to take advantage of the situation and run away with the money, but the people in the casino wouldn't allow it.
However, after the casino owner went down, he waved and asked these people to leave. Anyway, when people came in to get chips, they had to pledge their ID cards. He was not afraid that these people would run away, and they would come back sooner or later.
Even if he doesn't come back, he still has ways to collect the debt.
Oh, he is running a legal business, so debt collection will naturally be done by sending a lawyer's letter, so don't overthink it.
"Edson, we are all operating legally. Isn't it a bad idea for you to do this?" The casino owner held a cigar in his mouth and glanced at the man with a slicked-back hair in front of him. "I have called the police. You will be disqualified from operating the casino."
Edson sneered: "Since I brought people here, I have already made plans to close the casino. Today we are here to destroy the place according to the rules of the underworld!"
The casino owner blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Oh, the underworld. Do the police agree?"
Edson said: "There's no need to delay. They don't have time to take care of this place now."
The casino owner was surprised: "Oh, you are serious. Even if you destroy my place, you can't stay in this country's upper world, right? This is a democratic country with a legal system. Forget it, since you are so determined, I have nothing to say. Let the VIPs upstairs go first, okay? Even if you don't want to stay in this world, those VIPs are not only influential in this country."
Edson snorted coldly: "I know this."
He turned around and said to the person next to him who seemed to be his deputy, "Take your people up and ask the distinguished guests above to leave. But all non-customers must stay, especially the young waiter."
The casino owner's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Can I ask, what do you want to do, young waiter?"
Edson laughed proudly and said, "Your young master hid himself very well. You didn't expect me to guess his whereabouts! Hahahaha, I have done a great job this time!"
Through the intercoms on both sides, the VIPs upstairs heard the conversation between the two men clearly. They just breathed a sigh of relief for their safety, and then they were shocked.
Lin Xin held his forehead with his hand: "This guy...will be beaten by his boss, right?"
The distinguished guests, who did not have to worry about their lives, burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Lin, that guy down there thinks you're the young master behind the casino?" The beardless old man laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Where on earth did he get this information from? Didn't he even check it out?"
The others also smiled and nodded.
Lin Xin's identity is public and can be found directly on the Internet. Especially now that he is a well-known new-generation movie star in China, his background has long been revealed.
Lin Xin's parents are famous physicists in China. His eldest brother is the chairman and CEO of Sihai Technology, and he also has a brother-in-law who is the CEO of the world-renowned Phoenix Group. When he was six years old, he suffered misfortune and became a vegetable. He woke up ten years later and created a series of miracles. Now he is a famous mathematician and a new Golden Water Film Emperor.
What does this have to do with the underground world? Are the people down there mentally ill?
"Maybe because I'm hiding my identity and being a little mysterious, he's overthinking it." Lin Xin sighed, "But I can't help it. If I'm asking about a new person in this casino, I should ask for his name, right? Although only the VIPs and the people in this casino know my name, it's not impossible to find it out, right?"
"Maybe they thought that the young master of this casino was borrowing your name? Hahahaha, no, I'm dying of laughter." The beardless old man was still laughing when the people sent by the other party to "protect" them from leaving came in.
The man was startled by the laughter of the beardless old man, and when he saw that all the people were smiling, he muttered in his heart that these people were indeed elites, as they were not panicked at all when encountering these things.
"Then please follow me, my dear guests." Edson's assistant said, "Young Master, please be my guest, okay?"
Lin Xin was helpless: "The young master you are talking about, are you referring to me?"
Edson's deputy nodded.
Lin Xin said, "I only put on makeup, I didn't have any plastic surgery. Are you so sure when you see my face? I say, are you just arresting people without any intelligence? This is not worth the loss. If you arrest me, no matter what your background is, the Chinese authorities will definitely take action."
Edson's deputy said coldly: "No need for sweet talk."
The beardless old man laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe: "I say, do you have your cell phone with you? Even if you don't care about movies, you can check online right now and find out Lin's identity. Are you really a gangster?"
Lin Xin patted the beardless old man on the back and said, "Mr. Will, stop laughing. You guys should leave first. They don't dare to hurt me."
Not to mention that if a Chinese citizen is kidnapped by gangsters abroad, the country will definitely send forces to rescue him. He is also a public figure.
He is not only a public figure, but also a famous scientist, a scientist who has participated in the country's top scientific research projects, and a future leader in China's mathematics community.
If he is arrested, the whole of China will go crazy.
Unless this gangster wants to join the terrorists, he would not dare to openly oppose the government of a big country and take action against important figures of a country.
This group of people did not dare to take action against the casino VIP card holders, nor did they dare to take action against Lin Xin.
"Let's send these gentlemen away first." Lin Xin said with a smile, "I'll go with you. I hope your boss won't be blinded. Qian Jun, Yun Juan, have you contacted the Chinese Embassy?"
Qian Jun said: "We have contacted them. Although they interfered with the signal, we are relaying it via satellite, so don't worry."
Edson's deputy: "!!!"
Lin Xin smiled: "For an important person like me, the country will distribute exclusive communication equipment, which can directly use military satellites for transmission. Ordinary interference is useless. You must have technology that can interfere with military equipment to prevent me from contacting the embassy. Why, you dare to come here to mess up the place, you must be a relatively powerful force, but you don't even know this?"
The departing guests couldn't help laughing. The second floor was filled with laughter and joy. It was as if they were not facing a gang fight but a performance by a group of clowns.
Edson and his group are clowns.
Even though Edson's deputy was confident in the information he had, he was still a little hesitant.
Downstairs, the casino owner was almost choking with laughter: "Hahahaha, old buddy, you've definitely been ripped off. Think about it, how many people have you offended recently? Hahahaha, you've been ripped off badly this time!"
Edson said, "What do you mean!"
The casino owner pointed upstairs and said, "I mean, the one up there is a real movie emperor. Do you know 'Mr. Linde'? You are a gay after all, you should know it, right? Our young Jinshui movie emperor is very dedicated to come here to experience life, young master, hahahahaha, why do you think so? It makes me laugh to death. This is not a secret, you should know it if you do a little research, right?"
"Of course I did this because I had enough evidence. Your mysterious young master was very smart to borrow the identity of the young actor. Unfortunately, there is a problem with your people." Edson was not moved at all and said, "It's just a little disguise, huh."
"Sir, when you say a little disguise, are you referring to me?" Lin Xin followed Edson's deputy down and heard this. He still smiled and said, "Now that I'm closer, can you still say that I'm a disguise?"
Edson looked at Lin Xin and frowned.
Lin Xin said, "It seems that you don't know what the young master looks like, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a random guess. I'm curious about what information you got to be so sure that I'm the person you're looking for. After all, my voice, my appearance, and the two assistants behind me can all be compared online. Finally, don't you gangs have facial recognition?"
Before leaving one by one, the distinguished guests all gave Edson a playful smile.
They seemed to say with their expressions, look, idiot.
()Hey, idiot!
Edson: “…”
Lin Xin walked towards Edson step by step. He was wearing an ordinary shirt and trousers, and shiny leather shoes. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his hair was combed back. Maybe because of not enough hairspray, it was a little messy, and he looked unruly.
Lin Xin stood three steps in front of Edson and said softly, "Listen to the boss's address... This gentleman's surname is Edson, right? So Mr. Edson, tell me, am I really the Golden Water Film Emperor, a famous Chinese mathematician, the younger brother of the presidents of Sihai Technology and Phoenix Technology, and the son of a scientist couple who won the Chinese Science Lifetime Achievement Award? What about Lin Xin?"
Edson couldn't help but take a step back.
He felt inexplicably frightened.
It's really ridiculous. He is a man who has seen blood, but he was suppressed by the momentum of a little actor.
Edson's heart trembled. He actually began to waver!
However, this person in front of me... this person...
"Do you think I will believe you?" Edson gritted his teeth. "Would an ordinary actor be so calm? Hahaha, you've been exposed."
The casino owner spat from behind and said, "Idiot."
Lin Xin sighed: "It seems that you won't admit it even if you know you've been tricked, otherwise your operation will be a complete failure. You have to catch me anyway, and then exchange some benefits from the Chinese government. You can't go back to your gang, they don't want to break up with China. So you want to use me as a token of your allegiance to... um? We should be called terrorists, right?"
Edson's face was gloomy, and the people behind him began to waver.
"Or forming a mercenary group would be a good idea," Lin Xin said. "But if you kidnap me, all countries will define you as terrorists. As for the gangs, most of them are now legal residents. If you stand on the opposite side of the government, you will never be able to return home, and you will have to live in the shadows for the rest of your life, leading the most miserable life. And your original gang will also regard you as a betrayal. By the way, do you still have family and friends in your original gang?"
Edson said, "Shut up!"
Lin Xin glanced at Edson and chuckled, "This is a wrong decision you made alone. Gangs nowadays are not so cruel. As long as you are held responsible, all your subordinates can escape or even be acquitted. What's more, you haven't done anything that will really harm the gang. It's just a few casinos. I think your people can still make connections and continue to run them. So...for the sake of your brothers, shouldn't you bravely take responsibility for the wrong decision?"
"They are innocent." Lin Xin seemed to be carrying a soft light, and his voice was so gentle, "They are still so young, they still have a future, even if they are gang members, they can still walk on the ground and still live in prosperity. What do terrorists have? Nothing. Except killing, that's killing. Even if they want to find men and women, they can only rob them. Now, you can enjoy the top service by paying money, and you don't need to hear the screams of hatred below you, see their hateful eyes, and be a completely inhuman beast."
"It's so good to be a gangster. You don't have to abide by those strict rules, but you can enjoy the brightness of the world above. Your loyalty, courage, and bravery are unimaginable to ordinary people who are bound outside." Lin Xin took his hands out of his trouser pockets and made a gesture as if singing a song. "You don't abide by the rules, but you abide by the rules written by loyalty and loyalty. Are you willing to be like rats, staying in rat holes every day?"
"Mr. Edson, these are all your men, your brothers. Are you willing to let them go?" Lin Xin's voice, which had just been raised, gradually slowed down. "I know that for a gang, subordinates and brothers are as close as brothers. You are family members without blood ties. At this time, shouldn't you make the most correct decision to save more people?"
"They are innocent. They can go unpunished."
"And you, at most, will spend a few years in jail for fighting and causing trouble, or even get out after paying bail because there was no fight. You don't actually have anything to lose, right?"
"Your status in the gang? Isn't that what you should bear for making the wrong decision? Anyway, you are still alive, so it's better than joining a group of rats, right?"
"What do you think, Mr. Edson?" Lin Xin said, "If you don't answer, the Chinese Embassy will be here soon with the peacekeeping police. With my background, I am qualified to bypass the local police and let China directly dispatch the embassy's defense force to carry out the rescue."
"However, in order to prevent China from interfering, I think this country will probably send out its army directly." Lin Xin sighed, "You don't have much time."
Edson had retreated several steps without realizing it, and the people behind him had already put down their weapons and were looking at Edson with a desire that they themselves did not understand.
Edson's deputy lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
They were all certain that they had been tricked. The person in front of them was not some young master, but the movie star or scientist from China.
An important person who will cause anger in China, and an important person who has nothing to do with the underworld.
"I... have seen the movie..." someone whispered, "This is Lin Xin."
"The Jinshui Film Festival just ended, and the streets are full of photos of the new best actor..."
"Boss Edson..."
"What on earth is going on?"
"Boss, stop it." Edson's deputy said in a deep voice, "We have found the wrong person this time. Stop it quickly. There is still time."
Lin Xin smiled and nodded: "Yes, there is still time. I think the boss of our casino is willing to prove it to you. This is just an ordinary economic dispute, right? After all, gangster affairs should be handled by the gangs themselves. I will hand you over to the government military and that's it."
No, I didn't feel anything wrong, and I was eager to try. But the casino owner immediately responded, "Of course, it's not our business for outsiders to interfere! We are in the underworld, and we have our own rules! Even if we are hostile to each other, we can get away with it by involving the government."
The people behind Edson were even more shaken. They couldn't help but persuade Edson.
Lin Xin stood in front of Edson, looking at his pale face, as if he was having some psychological struggle.
He whispered, "You know what to do, right? You won't betray your brother, right? You'll take full responsibility, right?"
"All... responsibility..." Lin Xin's voice became softer and softer, like the whisper of a devil, floating into Edson's heart one by one.
"You have a gun in your hand, but you won't point it at me, you won't shoot me," Lin Xin suddenly murmured, "If you shoot me, everything will be over, and the responsibility afterwards... won't be something you can bear..."
Edson seemed to be bewitched. He raised his head blankly and looked into Lin Xin's eyes.
Lin Xin's eyes were the standard Chinese brown-black color, but his pupils were completely black, as black as a devil, as black as hell.
Edson felt like he was drunk and raised his gun involuntarily.
"Edson! Don't!"
At the shouting of his deputy, Edson shot Lin Xin.
But at the moment when Edson fired, Lin Xin grabbed Edson's wrist. The shot unconsciously deviated towards Edson's deputy and hit the man's abdomen.
Lin Xin said anxiously: "Call an ambulance! Save him! Edson, are you crazy?"
Edson came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "I, I didn't..."
But he had been pinned to the ground by Lin Xin's two bodyguards, with a gun pointed at his head.
"Even if he wants you to sacrifice yourself to save your brothers, you shouldn't attack him." Lin Xin's expression was full of grief, "Isn't he your brother? Do you want to kill everyone here and take me away as a token of your surrender to those rats?"
Edson's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak.
The people behind him had already thrown away their weapons and were scrambling to rescue Edson's deputy. Some people looked at Edson with disbelief, confusion, and anger.
The cigar in the casino owner's mouth fell to the ground.
What is going on? What happened?
Lin Xin pressed his temples, frowned, and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, to others, his expression showed his dissatisfaction and anger towards Edson.
