"Alright! Let's make one last push!" Gao Jianfei roared coldly. He had won the fourth round and was now setting the rules... "Hold the Land!"
Shovel the earth!
No sooner had the words left his mouth than both sides swiftly launched their attack!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
This time, Wu Youcun displayed extraordinary hand speed, directly grabbing the 5 cards he wanted!
These 5 cards are absolutely great cards, absolutely top-tier cards!
In the game of Big Two, a straight flush is the highest!
The second one is... King Kong! That is, four cards of the same rank, plus a single card.
Thirdly... prisoners! That is, three with a pair
Fourth is... five of a kind
Fifth is... miscellaneous.
Wu Youcun drew 5 cards... 5 of spades, 6 of spades, 7 of spades, 8 of spades, 9 of spades!
Flush!
This is already a huge straight flush! Keep in mind that out of 35 cards, there are actually only 3 10s!
Of these three 10s, Wu Youcun drew one in the first round, and later, when comparing pairs, Gao Jianfei drew two more.
Therefore, Wu Youcun's straight flush reached "9", and it was the "9" of spades, which was definitely a big win!
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Wu Youcun exclaimed with relief. "I won! Ha! I won!"
The 2-2 scoreline initially made Wu Youcun somewhat uneasy, as anything could happen in the next round. However, with this hand, he was absolutely certain of defeating Gao Jianfei!
"Bang!" Chen Yaohui slid off the chair and fell to the ground. His face was ashen, like that of a dead man!
We lost! We lost the casino, we lost 300 million, we lost the entire Dongxing... It's all over!
Zhang Yang and the others also stood up immediately. "Ha! Congratulations, Teacher Wu!"
After a few whispered words among themselves, the referees, including Song Zhui, were about to announce Wu Youcun's victory.
At this very moment...
"etc!"
Gao Jianfei smiled and patted the table.
In fact, Gao Jianfei really made people think he was a fool this time... After drawing cards, according to the rules of Big Two, he only drew one card!
Wu Youcun had a huge straight flush, while Gao Jianfei only had one card. And at that moment, that card was face down, making it impossible to see its rank.
And coincidentally, this card was one of the two cards that Wu Youcun couldn't remember clearly out of his 35 cards.
"Oh? Xiao Gao, what else do you have to say?" Song Zhui sneered at Gao Jianfei. "In my opinion, you've already lost. You're a loser."
“No, no, no,” Gao Jianfei smiled and shook his head, “I am the victor. I won, I’m sure of it.”
"Pfft..." Wu Youcun laughed maniacally, "You won? Not to mention I got a straight flush, with just one card, how can you compare to me? Are you crazy?"
"Ha!" Zhang Yang and the others laughed. "This guy's gambled himself crazy! I bet he's faking it! Ha, trying to save his hands by pretending to be crazy? How naive! Ha!"
"Alright, stop wasting time, I'm going to make an announcement!" Song Zhui gave Gao Jianfei a cold look.
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei shouted, "I won! The rules of Big Two are that the three of diamonds goes first! And mine is..."
Gao Jianfei flipped the card over.
Three of Diamonds!
It really is the Three of Diamonds!
“This…” Song Zhui was stunned for a moment.
Everyone in the casino froze, staring at the three of diamonds in front of Gao Jianfei.
A full five seconds passed before Song Zhui nodded and said, "Yes, in Big Two, the three of diamonds goes first. Therefore, Xiao Gao got a three of diamonds, and according to the rules, he goes first, but he only has one card in his hand... Uh, Big Two is all about who runs out of cards first. So, whatever card Wu Youcun gets is useless... I declare Xiao Gao the winner of this world ranking challenge!"
"Ah! Jianfei! You...you won! Ha!" This time, Chen Yaohui, who had been dead silent and whose heart was almost broken, jumped up from the ground. "Ha! We won! We won!"
Meanwhile, Wu Youcun's side remained petrified...
"Clap! Clap!" Song Zhui clapped his hands. "Young and promising, quick-witted and decisive, a beautiful victory!"
Chapter 112 Song Zhui's Attitude
Chapter 112 Song Zhui's Attitude
We won!
Gao Jianfei won!
This was his first official match in the professional gambling world! A match officiated by the Song family, the world's number one referee family. Its authority was beyond question!
At this moment, in the casino lobby, the facial expressions and emotional attitudes of people from each faction are very different!
The first to be affected was Wu Youcun. The result of the competition was a huge shock to him! He had lost everything! Power, status, wealth, and the hands he relied on for survival! He had never imagined losing, never considered what he would do after losing. And so, at this moment, he was truly stunned!
In some novels, to describe someone as extremely shocked, it's said that their mind goes blank. Wu Youcun is currently experiencing this situation.
"Buzz...buzz...buzz..." A roaring sound filled his ears. Wu Youcun's lips moved unconsciously, like a fish out of water.
Zhang Yang, a top figure in the F province underworld, was also ashen-faced. "No, no... how could we lose? Teacher Wu... he asked our Green Dragon Society to vouch for this bet... we, our Green Dragon Society, thought... this was a free opportunity for us to make... get rich... but we never expected to lose everything..."
Sweat poured down his face, and his legs were shaking! This time, Wu Youcun's defeat caused heavy losses to the Qinglong Society. As Wu Youcun's guarantor, Zhang Yang, regardless of whether he was directly responsible, will be severely punished upon his return to the Qinglong Society to vent the gang's anger!
Wu Youcun's four apprentices are also dragging their feet and haven't gone to help their master, who is on the verge of collapse.
Meanwhile, on Chen Yaohui's side, they were practically ecstatic! Chen Yaohui gripped the armrests of his chair, his body trembling slightly with elation. He knew very well what Gao Jianfei had won for Dongxing… 300 million in cash—that was nothing! The casinos belonging to the Qinglong Society would be more troublesome to manage; they could be auctioned off to the Qinglong Society, with proceeds exceeding 1 billion! More importantly, Gao Jianfei had won a ranking, a ranking that could intimidate any underground casino in G Province! And Gao Jianfei happened to be a member of Dongxing! Therefore, from now on, Dongxing could directly sweep through all casinos in G Province!
"Pfft... Pfft..." Chen Yaohui tried his best to control his facial muscles and Adam's apple so that he wouldn't laugh too much and burst out laughing.
Over there with Song Zhui.
Song Zhui carefully examined Gao Jianfei, then a flash of admiration crossed his eyes, mixed with a hint of something else. His five bodyguards also looked at Gao Jianfei, then at Song Zhui.
In fact, although the Song family is a leading figure in the world of gambling referees, this is only a superficial identity. What lies beneath...?
This is a materialistic world. As a giant family of referees in the world of gambling, the Song family has great convenience in contacting gambling masters. So, is it possible for them to privately contact some high-level gamblers so that both parties can benefit, or even cultivate some very promising talents? These questions are really not for outsiders to know!
Song Zhui understood perfectly why his family had sent him to officiate this match!
Before leaving, Song Zhui's grandfather, Song Qian, said to his grandson with a meaningful look, "Zhui, the reason our Song family is participating in this competition is because we are interested in that person. You must know that the gambling world is a very cruel place. For someone to dare to challenge a super expert ranked 51st in the world is absolutely unbelievable! After analysis, the family's higher-ups believe that person has certain research value. Therefore, you will go to enforce the rules and observe that person, Xiao Gao, carefully. Of course, theoretically speaking, the possibility of Xiao Gao defeating Wu Youcun is not high! Therefore, although you have a purpose, you don't need to be too obvious about it. If the gambling proceeds normally and Wu Youcun wins, then there will be no unexpected gains for our family. This is just your first time enforcing the rules, allowing you to accumulate experience! If Xiao Gao wins, then our family will take action! After all, winning over a person, especially one with a very weak affiliation, is still a very promising prospect for us..."
At that time, Song Qian's words were tantamount to an order for Song Zhui!
In other words, if Gao Jianfei wins, and Song Zhui successfully wins him over, then...
You've done a great service!
This is nothing short of a great achievement for the family!
The greater Gao Jianfei's potential, the greater Song Zhui's contribution will be!
Therefore, he now stared intently at Gao Jianfei. He had completely ignored Wu Youcun, leaving no trace of him!
At this moment, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. After all, this was one of the most successful experiences of his life! Yes, a success! Compared to his past failures in job interviews, being fired by his boss, and being ridiculed for not being able to afford university... this victory today felt like a complete upheaval of Gao Jianfei's mediocre past life!
Moreover, Gao Jianfei knew that he had taken a big step closer to challenging Chen Yifeng!
At this very moment...
"No! No! I didn't lose! How could I lose to a greenhorn! Impossible! He cheated! He cheated!" Wu Youcun suddenly started barking wildly! His voice was hoarse and hysterical! He turned around and was about to run out of the casino!
This action startled even Zhang Yang and Wu Youcun's four apprentices!
"Hmm?" Song Zhui sneered and winked at the five bodyguards behind him.
Suddenly! In a flash, two bodyguards rushed over and, in the blink of an eye, grabbed Wu Youcun from both sides!
One grabbed Wu Youcun's left hand, and the other grabbed his right hand, just like grabbing a chick.
"Teacher Wu... Teacher Wu!" One of Zhang Yang's henchmen, who was probably taken care of by Wu Youcun, instinctively took a step forward at this moment!
"Whoosh!" A bodyguard standing behind Song Zhui waved his hand with lightning speed, and a cold light shot out!
"Pfft!" The charging henchman froze, his face instantly turning deathly still! A military dagger was now embedded in his throat! Blood trickled out in thin streams! The henchman swayed a few times like a clumsy puppet before collapsing to the ground with a thud!
"Ah!" Zhang Yang and his other henchmen, as well as Wu Youcun's four apprentices, felt as if they had been bitten by snakes and scorpions, and they shrank back!
"A bet is a bet!" Song Zhui declared emphatically. His gaze was fixed on Zhang Yang of the Azure Dragon Society. "Wu Youcun lost. Does the Azure Dragon Society have any objections?"
A powerful, oppressive aura enveloped Zhang Yang and the others!
A chill ran through Zhang Yang and his men! They were merely high-ranking thugs, while Song Zhui, whom they faced, came from a prominent Chinese family. The difference in their status and power was immediately apparent!
“No…we have no…no objections,” Zhang Yang said with difficulty.
"Very well! I, Song Zhui, in the name of the Song family, declare that Xiao Gao has won this match! He will replace Wu Youcun as the 51st ranked expert in the world of gambling! From now on, Xiao Gao will be under the protection of the World Gambling Association. In addition, the Dongxing Society, to which Xiao Gao is affiliated, has won a cash check for 300 million rupees, as well as all the shares of a casino under the Qinglong Society!" Song Zhui said with a stern expression. "Furthermore, Wu Youcun must fulfill the bet and cut off his own hands!"
After a pause, Song Zhui turned to look at Gao Jianfei and said in an unusually friendly tone, "Xiao Gao, will you cut off Wu Youcun's hands yourself, or should I do it for him?"
He said that cutting off someone's hands was as easy and pleasant as crushing an ant.
Gao Jianfei knew that the Song family's power was indeed formidable! Just now, the Song family's bodyguard casually threw a dagger and shot Zhang Yang's henchman dead; that move showed considerable skill! Gao Jianfei was an expert in concealed weapons, and he had the authority to speak on this matter.
Looking at Song Zhui's seemingly friendly smile, Gao Jianfei remained outwardly calm, but subconsciously, he felt that Song Zhui's smile had a hint of malice. Was it just his imagination?
Gao Jianfei didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "If possible, please ask Young Master Song to handle this matter!"
Song Zhui nodded, then said to the two bodyguards holding Wu Youcun hostage, "Take him away and cut off his hands."
"Yes, young master!" The two thugs dragged Wu Youcun away with an almost brute force attitude!
Then, Song Zhui wiped his hands with a white silk cloth as he emerged from behind the gambling table. He walked up to Gao Jianfei, gave him a meaningful look, and then whispered, "Little Gao, you can go to the World Gambling Association's branch office in Hushi tomorrow to get your identification. You're currently ranked 51st in the world, and your previous information with the World Gambling Association needs to be re-filed." He paused, then added, "I'll be staying in Hushi for a while. Heh, I'll invite you when I have time." He then gave Gao Jianfei another meaningful look, a look with a strong unspoken message. Finally, he left with his assistant referees and bodyguards.
"Hmm? What did Song Zhui's look mean just now? What was he trying to say? Could it be..." Gao Jianfei thought to himself... "He wants to win me over?"
"Ha! Jianfei... my good brother, you won! Ha!" At this moment, Chen Yaohui finally let loose and laughed maniacally.
Chen Yaohui rushed over and put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder. His men had already collected all the checks and casino contracts from the gambling table.
Chen Yaohui said enthusiastically, "Jianfei, this time you won 300 million for Dongxing, plus a casino. I'll give you 200 million as commission, how about it? It'll be directly deposited into your account!"
Gao Jianfei shrugged. "Do whatever you want. I don't care."
