Chapter 360 Placing Bets!
"Make way, make way!!!"
A middle-aged man in a floral shirt burst in with a group of security guards.
The surrounding guests seemed to recognize him and immediately cleared a path for him; when their friends started to complain, they even covered their mouths.
"Who is that?"
"You don't know? Every casino has its enforcers, and these guys all have shady pasts. They're like hounds for the casino!"
"What's there to be scared of, we're customers after all. He can't hit me, can he?"
"Shh! Keep it down! That man is called Fifth Brother, it's said that he has blood on his hands from God knows how many people. It's not embarrassing for us to show a little fear in front of such a tough guy..."
Song Yun had good hearing and immediately knew what the new arrivals were up to.
As people kept by the casino, facing a situation like this, which was rare to see in years, they naturally came over to inquire and see if the other party might be cheating.
If it turned out the jackpot was won by cheating... well, sorry, but you'd be going for a dive in the ocean – the kind without an oxygen mask!
"Fifth Brother, don't mess around!"
Wu Qian got alarmed when he saw who had arrived. This young man was not like the other gamblers outside; he was a bona fide wealthy man!
If he pissed him off, all the effort he put in today would be wasted!
"Wu Qian? What are you doing here?"
Fifth Brother looked at him with a hint of suspicion; he knew who Wu Qian was, a business staff member who brought in customers for the casino, with a client list full of big bosses.
The casino was also willing to show a bit of courtesy to such a person.
"Fifth Brother, let's talk over there!"
Wu Qian grabbed Fifth Brother's arm and shouted to the onlookers, "Disperse, disperse, go about your games!"
In a secluded spot, Fifth Brother rolled up his sleeves to reveal a dense array of tattoos, scratching his head in confusion, "What's a VIP host like you doing in that area?"
"Fifth Brother, the young man who won the jackpot today is my client!"
Wu Qian said with a wry smile, "That young man is a real rich guy, and the card he used to buy chips is a black card! You've been mingling in the casino for so many years, you naturally know who we can provoke and who we can't. Moreover, I assure you, I was there the whole time when that young man was playing the slot machine; it was really just good luck."
"Holy shit! A black card!"
Fifth Brother was startled; a card that even bosses worth hundreds of millions didn't have had appeared in the hands of a youngster, suggesting an impossible-to-ignore background!
"Fifth Brother, it's just a small win. I was hoping to bleed this kid dry today, so when we go back, you do what you need to do, and leave the rest to me."
Wu Qian patted his chest as he spoke.
Though they could get tips from those bosses for helping them win, compared to the bosses' fortunes, those tips were a drop in the ocean!
And the share the casino gave them?
Five percent!!!
If they brought in a boss who lost a million at the casino, they could earn a commission of fifty grand!
If they came across some really impulsive tycoon, they could be at a 4S shop picking out a new car the next day!
"Alright, alright, I'll leave this fat pig to you. If you make a big killing tomorrow, you'd better treat your Fifth Brother to a meal!"
Fifth Brother said with a smile, patting Wu Qian's shoulder.
He had no expectation whatsoever that Song Yun would win any money later on!
If an ordinary person walked through those doors, there was a chance they might win one out of ten times; but when those big bosses come in, they were bound to lose everything in the end!
"No problem, Fifth Brother, I'll head back now!"
After speaking, Wu Qian turned and left.
Brother Five watched Wu Qian's retreating figure, lit a cigarette, and muttered to himself, "Does Song Yun really have such good luck? And could this guy really just be here for sightseeing?"
...
In front of the slot machine, Song Yun nonchalantly lit a cigarette, hugged three women, and laughed, "Looks like Young Master is in luck today! I'll give you all a bonus when we get back!"
"Boss is mighty~"
"I love you even more now~"
"Boss, boss~ you've got to keep it up today~"
The onlookers, seeing Song Yun's appearance of a dandy, couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, thinking this kid was truly a greenhorn unafraid of tigers!
Didn't he understand that a casino is like a gluttonous beast that only consumes without expelling?
Not to mention that the dealers in this casino were skilled gamblers, the very feng shui of the casino was a trap designed to devour wealth!
The entrance ceiling was painted with bats, and the staircase leading into the casino went downwards, symbolizing that the guests coming in would be sucked dry of their blood and marrow!
Those who came to play were somewhat superstitious, so the psychological pressure the casino imposed as soon as they stepped in was extraordinary.
But this young man seemed not to be afraid at all!
"You'll be crying when you start losing money!" thought many of the guests, as watching someone win was harder for them than losing their own money!

"Boss, I'm back. Do you want to keep playing this or should we check out something else?" asked Wu Qian with a smile. "If you continue playing, I'll exchange part of the money you just won into coins, and the rest into chips. If you're not playing anymore, I'll exchange it all into chips and then take you to the next game."
"Let's try the next one! I can't wait to win some more money!" said Song Yun, rubbing his hands together vigorously.
"Hooked!" thought Wu Qian to himself, but his face maintained a flattering expression.
Making money, after all, was worth playing the sycophant; it wasn't degrading!
Wu Qian quickly exchanged all the coins into shining crystal chips, placing them on the tray with an air of assertiveness.
"Boss, which game would you like to try next?" Wu Qian asked curiously.
"Let's go for the 'Big-Small' game you mentioned before," said Song Yun.
Song Yun's eyes darted around, observing the surrounding gamblers—some clutching their cards tightly with veins bulging on their foreheads, others laughing maniacally as they gathered the chips on the table, and still others with worried faces, unsure whether to place another bet or to give up...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A vivid display of the human condition!
Wu Qian led Song Yun to a Big-Small betting table, settled him in, and shot an imperceptible look at the dealer.
The dealer immediately understood, recognizing the arrival of a new fish.
"Boss, you have three areas in front of you, one for 'Big,' one for 'Small', and one for 'Any Triple', which means all three dice show the same number and it wipes out the rest of the field."
Wu Qian squatted slightly and explained to Song Yun.
"Alright, alright, I got it," said Song Yun nonchalantly.
The dealer slowly picked up the dice cup, shook it casually a few times, and then pressed it firmly onto the table.
"Place your bets!"
