His Acting Was So Good As a Ruthless Criminal, Drawing the Attention of Police Officers Across the Internet

154: When did this escalate into a multi-billion dollar bet?Next, the Dealer dealt the cards again, and everyone’s hearts tightened for who knows how many times.

”This guy, still gambling? I can’t believe it’s already this much. If he keeps gambling, the God of Gamblers might lose everything.”

”Didn’t the God of Gamblers say he wasn’t feeling well? It’s possible if he’s not in form.”

”I suspect that’s his excuse. He just came down from upstairs looking refreshed, like he could run a marathon. He’s only upset because he lost two rounds, right?”

”Losing over ten billion, anyone would be upset. It’s good he didn’t have a heart attack on the spot.”

”It feels like the God of Gamblers’ eyes could eat Brother Lin. The next game is probably going to be even more exciting.”

”…”

After both sides had been dealt their cards, Chen Qing habitually glanced in Lin Pei’s direction.

He couldn’t see Lin Pei’s cards because they were perfectly covered by the ring on his hand.

This kid, did he figure out his trick, or was it an accidental cover?

Chen Qing felt a little flustered.

He looked at his own cards.

Heart 2, Spade 3, Club 6... these cards were really terrible.

It’s important to know that cheating in a casino requires quick deliberation based on the original cards, followed by a rapid card swap.

During this time, one must also consider the surrounding environment and complete the action in a very limited amount of time.

However, the reason Chen Qing was the God of Gamblers was that his cheating technique was, of course, beyond ordinary people’s comparison.

It’s already a good situation if an ordinary person can successfully swap one card while cheating.

But usually, Chen Qing could swap all the cards to his desired ones in a short amount of time.

However, he seemed to have encountered an unusual situation now... Lin Pei’s big eyes on the opposite side were staring at his hand, as if he had seen through him.

And when he finally caught an opportunity to swap cards, Lin Pei suddenly chuckled.

”I didn’t notice it just now, Mr. Chen, your hands are very long, very suitable for performing magic tricks.”

Chen Qing flinched in fright, failed to swap the card, and almost exposed his prop.

Damn it.

Why did Lin Pei choose this specific time to talk, not earlier or later? Was he really not doing it on purpose?

In desperation, he could only settle for the next best thing, using a less difficult and less noticeable method, only swapping one card.

He swapped the Club 6 for a Diamond 4, making his hand a straight of 2, 3, 4.

Lin Pei on the opposite side twirled his ring, his smile full of confidence.

”Mr. Chen, this round is a big one. You should think carefully about whether to call or not.”

”As you said, we young people are hot-blooded, and when we’re humiliated, we can still throw a few punches.”

”But you’re too old to fight at your age. When you lose and get desperate, you’ll have nowhere to vent, and can only silently digest it, sigh...”

That’s right.

Lin Pei had deliberately hidden his cards just now to interfere with Chen Qing’s card swap.

Unlike him, who could sense the opponent’s cards even with his eyes closed, he knew that Chen Qing’s glasses couldn’t see through the ring to discern his cards.

And Chen Qing’s card-swapping technique, which he considered masterful and lightning-fast, actually seemed a bit clumsy in Lin Pei’s eyes.

On the opposite side, Chen Qing was indeed provoked by Lin Pei’s words, his eyes turning red.

But out of concern for his image, he still tried to suppress his anger.

”Hmph, kid, I’ve seen many young people like you.”

”Winning a couple of rounds is common, but a person can’t always be so lucky. Always leave yourself some leeway.”

”If you flatter me now instead of angering me, if you end up losing everything, at least I can consider lending you some capital again.”

”Besides, a mere twenty billion, do you think I, Mr. Chen, can’t afford to lose it?”

Lin Pei almost rolled his eyes again.

No one could be more pretentious than the person opposite him.

Want him to lose everything, with that clumsy cheating technique of his just now?

Moreover... Lin Pei calmly reminded him.

”Mr. Chen, perhaps you didn’t hear clearly just now.”

”Look closely, I’m not betting twenty billion, but nearly one hundred billion.”

As soon as Lin Pei finished speaking, everyone, including Chen Qing, looked at the chips in front of Lin Pei.

Then everyone gasped in unison.

No one had noticed the change in Lin Pei’s betting funds just now, thinking he was joking, but it really was a hundred-billion-dollar stake!

Facing Chen Qing’s shocked and puzzled expression, Lau Tak Wah explained.

”Oh, to support my Brother Lin, I borrowed a little from each of my colleagues.”

”Everyone just pooled this much. With Mr. Chen’s wealth, surely he can afford to lose a mere hundred billion, right?”

Before placing his bet, Lau Tak Wah saw Lin Pei win two consecutive rounds and became very excited, wanting to participate.

So he called Jacky Cheung, Jackie Chan, Charles Heung, and others, promising to split the winnings evenly, and quickly borrowed tens of billions.

Coupled with his own assets, he just managed to gather nearly a hundred billion in betting funds.

Before Chen Qing could react, Wang Feng broke down first.

Damn it.

He was also a Heavenly King, also borrowing money from colleagues in the entertainment industry, but why did he only manage to borrow a few million after asking around?

While Lau Tak Wah, with one move, had tens of billions.

He even wondered if they were in the same entertainment circle.

Everyone remained unsettled for a long time.

”Oh my, today really opened my eyes. I’ve never seen so much money; my little heart can’t take it.”

”This has upgraded to a hundred-billion-dollar gamble? This is too exciting. Such a huge gamble is unheard of, ancient or modern, domestic or foreign. It will probably be recorded in Macau’s gambling history!”

”We owe this to Wah Zai. If he hadn’t added money, this game would hardly have gotten this big. The entertainment industry really has rich people.”

”Comparing people is deadly. Wang Feng asked for ages and no one paid attention, in the end only a few female stars lent him a few million. But Lau Tak Wah, with one move, got tens of billions in minutes. Heavenly King Wang’s character and connections are clearly visible.”

”Don’t provoke Heavenly King Wang anymore, or he might sing a song just for you.”

”But what if Wah Zai loses all that money he borrowed? That’s a hundred billion. Does he have to bet so big?”

”If he loses, of course, he’ll be heavily in debt, making movies and holding concerts to pay it back. Besides, if they don’t bet this big, would we be able to see such an exciting game?”

”Is the God of Gamblers going to call or not? I want to see who wins this round, I’m so anxious...”

”…”

Chen Qing was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

That’s right, the opponent actually prepared nearly a hundred billion in chips.

And when he looked at the specific number, his mind went numb.

He didn’t know how this young man named Liu gathered it, but the total amount of money he finally collected was almost the same as his entire net worth.

If he lost this round, he would probably have nothing left, absolutely nothing.

At this moment, Lin Pei pushed those chips forward, his expression still incredibly calm.

”I’m still going all-in. Mr. Chen, are you calling?”
