Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 537 The Man-Made Villa

He Xin looked at Mr. Gao downstairs with a grim expression, and said to Chen Jiajun with a displeased look, "So this bastard is planning to launder money in Macau?"

Chen Jiajun shrugged and said, "This isn't just my opinion; it's the consensus of the police in my hometown, Hong Kong, and Macau! And you must have heard of DOA, this international money laundering organization, right?"

He Xin nodded and said, "I have indeed heard about it... those bastards! Awei, go and find out who allowed this guy to mess around with the Portuguese Group?"

“Mr. He, there’s no need to investigate.” At this moment, Shi Yijian walked over and said helplessly, “It should have been approved by me.”

"Huh?" He Xin looked at Shi Yijian with a strange expression. In his memory, Shi Yijian would never cause such trouble.

Shi Yijian explained, "I had some business to attend to a couple of days ago and handed the casino over to my apprentice, A-Jie. It must have been him who did it."

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Your apprentice, A-Jie, has a rebellious streak! You'd better watch out!"

He Xin immediately relaxed and said to Shi Yijian, "Since he's your man, how do you plan to resolve this?"

Seeing A-Jie bustling around in the hall, Shi Yijian sighed and said, "I'll handle this! Give me some time!"

Shi Yijian has been working at Aopu Group for over ten years. He Xin wouldn't hold him accountable for such a small mistake, and simply said, "Just know what you're doing!"

He Xin then turned his gaze to Chen Jiajun and said, "As for this Mr. Gao, Ah Jun, what are you planning to do about it?"

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "I warned their people before that if they dare to show up on my territory again, I'll make sure they regret it. I'm a man of my word."

The charity betting tournament started soon.

Shi Yijian and Mr. Gao entered the venue and took their seats.

It was called a betting contest, but it was actually Mr. Gao challenging Shi Yijian, the technical director of the Portuguese hotel.

As a result, quite a few people came to watch.

The two were betting on baccarat.

Moreover, the croupier was played by Shi Yijian's apprentice, A-Jie.

Logically speaking, this is very unfair to Mr. Gao, but he did not raise any objections.

After the cards were dealt, Shi Yijian immediately got an eight.

Mr. Gao turned over his cards and found that he also had two "4s", which added up to eight points.

However, Mr. Gao suddenly grabbed the corner of the card and slammed it onto the table.

The "4" in my hand just now has become a "5".

Such petty cheating tricks are no match for Shi Yijian.

No wonder Shi Yijian looks down on someone like Mr. Gao.

Seeing that he had won the first game, Mr. Gao smiled smugly and said, "Brother Jian, you were just one move behind!"

Shi Yijian smiled faintly and said, "It's a charity match, the real big stuff is yet to come!"

Mr. Gao's competitive spirit flared up immediately. He pushed over a stack of chips and said with a sneer, "Brother Jian is known as the one who wins against all opponents. If I were to be the first person to make Brother Jian lose all his money, I would be very honored!"

"It's just a favor from a friend!" Shi Yijian said modestly.

After that, Mr. Gao had no chance to cheat in any of the subsequent hands.

Because no matter how the cards are dealt, whether the points are high or low, it will be a tie.

This bizarre game of cards occurred for twenty-nine consecutive rounds.

This caused everyone present to yawn.

This charity match wasn't exciting at all; in fact, it was a bit boring.

Just then, Susan's phone suddenly vibrated.

She then opened her phone and was startled. She handed the phone to Shi Yijian anxiously and said, "Something has happened at home!"

Shi Yijian immediately turned his attention to Mr. Gao.

Just as Chen Jiajun had expected, this guy really was after him.

Shi Yijian's expression immediately turned serious, and he said to Susan, "Wait for me downstairs!"

After Susan left, Shi Yijian flipped over his cards and found that he had won again.

He laughed and said, "It's been 29 hands, all draws! I should have bet on a draw! Sorry, I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

With that, Shi Yijian tried to leave.

Mr. Gao then said, "Brother Jian, we've played twenty-nine rounds in a row without a winner, how can we leave? How about this, let's play one more round, and if you win, I'll donate an extra two hundred million, how about that?"

"Two hundred million?" Shi Yijian said with a sneer.

At this moment, A-Jie whispered to Shi Yijian, "Master, if we leave now, people will gossip!"

Shi Yijian was silent for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, I want to call cards, prepare four new decks for me!"

Ah Jie nodded and immediately ordered people to prepare.

Soon, the two of them each took a deck of cards and came up with various ways to shuffle them.

This caused everyone to swell up.

The two sides combined all four decks of cards, then drew two cards from them, preparing to gamble on the final round.

Shi Yijian flipped over a "7", while Mr. Gao flipped over a "9".

Mr. Gao immediately said smugly, "Brother Jian, you're doomed! Your hole card should be '10'. My memory of shuffling the cards just now should be correct!"

"Look, it really is!" Shi Yijian turned over the last card, but he didn't seem panicked. Instead, he smiled and said, "But it's enough to win!"

“My hole card should also be a '10'.” Mr. Gao laughed and turned his cards over directly: “Sorry, Brother Jian, you lost everything the first time.”

But the next moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because the card in his hand was not '10' but '11'.

Although the number '11' appears in poker, according to the rules of baccarat, the hour is zero.

Shi Yijian exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! Nine points plus eleven points, that's practically no points! Mr. Gao, thank you for your two hundred million! Goodbye!"

His "magic touch" was almost supernatural; he managed to switch Mr. Gao's cards without the other party even reacting.

Shi Yijian turned and left immediately, saying to his apprentice A-Jie, who was trying to stop him, "Don't stop me!"

As Shi Yijian finished speaking, he left the casino.

However, he did not go straight home, but instead took his secretary Susan to a restaurant.

"Something happened at home, why did you bring me to the restaurant? A-Cai and Xiao-Leng are in danger!" Susan said anxiously.

Shi Yijian calmly replied, "Don't worry, there are safeguards in place! And with that man in charge, I don't think anyone in the world can hurt Acai."

Meanwhile, in Shi Yijian's mansion, which was converted from a library.

A group of international mercenaries, led by Ghost Eye, had broken through the security gate of Shi Yijian's house and entered the room.

The moment they entered the room, the mechanisms inside the house began to activate.

Shi Yijian is not only a top-notch gambler and master thief, but also a master of ventriloquism and mechanical engineering.

The mechanisms he used at home were enough to give these mercenaries a run for their money.

The mercenaries had just activated the security system when they were met with a hail of arrows.

Countless crossbow bolts flew from both sides of the bookshelf, leaving them no room to hide.

In the very first round, the two mercenaries met their demise, killed by a hail of arrows.

The commotion immediately caught the attention of two young people who were talking and flirting upstairs.

Ah Cai exclaimed in surprise, which immediately caught Ghost Eye's attention, and he ordered his men to go upstairs to arrest the person.

But the spiral staircase, which was perfectly fine, immediately turned into a slide after a few people went up on it.

The three mercenaries fell flat on their faces and had great difficulty getting up.

Then, traps, flip-flops, armor, and other mechanisms brought down several more mercenaries.

"Shoot them! Kill them!" Ghost Eyes was furious and immediately yelled for his men to open fire.

In a panic, Xiao Leng and A Cai immediately hid.

But then, an eyeball suddenly fell off the teddy bear that was given to A-Cai.

This looks like a fake eye.

Xiao Leng handed the fake eye to A Cai, telling him to hide while he continued to deal with the mercenaries.

Ah Cai quickly said, "I'll go get Uncle Yaqi, you hang in there!"

With that, he turned and hurriedly ran towards Yaqi's room.

Upon seeing the fake eyeball, Xiao Leng immediately guessed what was going on and flew into a rage, lunging at the ghost eye.

Unfortunately, his martial arts skills were mediocre, and he was quickly pinned to the ground by Ghost Eye.

"You're just as useless as your deadbeat father!" Ghost Eyes said with a sneer.

Xiao Leng roared in fury: "You dare mess with him!"

“It’s done!” Ghost Eye continued; “What, you want revenge? With your pathetic skills, I bet you just want to go down with your brother! If you want to live, obediently hand over your brother’s fake eye!”

Before A-Cai even reached Ya-Qi's room, Ya-Qi stopped her.

"Uncle Yaqi, please go and help Xiao Leng!" A Cai said anxiously to Yaqi.

Yaqi calmly replied, "No rush, let's see what your boyfriend is like."

"Huh?" A-Cai shook Ya-Chi's arm and said, "Uncle Ya-Chi, hurry up! Xiao-Leng can't hold on any longer, that bastard is about to beat Xiao-Leng to death!"

At this moment, Xiao Leng learned that her brother and father had both been brutally murdered, and angrily began fighting with Gui Yan.

Unfortunately, the difference in skill between the two was too great, and he was kicked away by Ghost Eye, crashing heavily under the bookshelf.

"Uncle Yaqi, please help him! Otherwise... otherwise I'll never talk to you again!" Acai threatened.

"Tsk, what's so good about this kid!" Yachi said unhappily.

Compared to Shi Yijian, Yaqi is a much more competent uncle.

Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Leng's performance.

"Oh, if you're not going, I'll go!"

In her desperation, A-Cai immediately hoisted herself onto a wire, ready to help her boyfriend.

Yaqi sighed helplessly, "Girls really are more outgoing!"

Yaqi pulled Acai back and then jumped off the building.

He snapped the necks of two mercenaries with a flick of his wrist, then charged toward Ghost Eye, who was about to finish them off.

Hearing a strong gust of wind behind him, Ghost Eye's hair stood on end.

He quickly bent down to dodge, thus avoiding Yaqi's attack.

If I hadn't dodged that kick quickly, I probably would have had my head kicked off by Yachi on the spot.

Ghost Eyes stared at the man in front of him with a look of horror and fear in his eyes.

"Kid, your assassin skills are really too poor," Archie said with a disdainful look.

This immediately infuriated Ghost Eye. Although he was an assassin, he was an assassin with a very strong sense of pride.

Faced with Yachi's mockery, he immediately rushed forward, ready to fight Yachi to the death.

Unfortunately, the absolute difference in skill level cannot be overcome by technique alone.

The guy charged at him with a short knife, but in one move, he was caught by Yachi's long, slender fingers and had his cheek grabbed.

Then, with tremendous force, it slammed directly into the ground.

The force was so great that even Xiao Leng, who was not far away, felt the ground tremble.

Then look at Ghost Eye, who had just beaten him so badly; now he couldn't even breathe.

Then Yaqi looked at Xiao Leng with disdain and said unhappily, "Kid, with your skills, how are you going to protect our A Cai!"

Xiao Leng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Wow, it's so lively!" Shi Yijian's voice finally came from outside the door.

Seeing the mercenaries lying all over the ground, he said speechlessly, "I really should have beaten that bastard up at the casino earlier."

Yachi said calmly, "He can't leave."

Shi Yijian was taken aback for a moment, then said to Yaqi, "The big boss has made a move?"

Yachi nodded: "The boss did make a move. If you're interested, you can probably go and punch him a couple of times."

"Forget it, I don't have the time for that," Shi Yijian said, waving his hand.

Suddenly, Xiao Leng remembered something and said to Shi Yijian, "Uncle, could you send me back to Hong Kong right away?" (End of Chapter)
