Hong Kong variety show: My handsome son, Kwan, is a master at making money in Hung Hing.

The crowd chattered excitedly, creating a lively atmosphere like a bustling market.

Serena glanced around, her beautiful eyes filled with pity for these once-glorious bigwigs. When they were at their peak, even Zhu Tao couldn't reach them, but now they were begging for mercy like weeds.

It makes one sigh at the capriciousness of fate.

Not everyone has the ability of boss Qin Tai to turn the tide and stand firm amidst the waves of the times. "Mr. Tong, please come with me."

Serena's gaze finally settled on a dejected middle-aged man in the corner. Upon hearing this, the man was so excited that he almost lost his footing and knelt down on the spot.

As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves," and he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel!

"Huh? Mr. Tong, it's only been two weeks, how come you look so haggard?"

When Qin Tai saw Mr. Tong, he almost thought he had mistaken him for someone else. Was this the same high-spirited, piercing business tycoon from before?

"Ahem... Nephew, oh no, Mr. Qin! I... it's a long story!"

Mr. Tong gave a bitter smile, his face full of vicissitudes.

These past few days he's been so worried he can't sleep at night, his hair has already turned gray, and he seems to age ten years every night.

Nowadays, he has long forgotten his pride, dignity, and arrogance; all he feels is humility.

"I know I was wrong! I was blind to your greatness before, and the fault lies entirely with me!"

"I hope you can spare some of your precious time to have dinner with my daughter, Tong Keren!" Mr. Tong apologized sincerely, bowing deeply at a ninety-degree angle, his attitude humble.

"Mr. Tong, please don't say that. How could a junior hold a grudge against an elder? It's just that..." Qin Tai looked troubled, "After all, I accepted your bribe and promised not to see Tong Keren again. I guess I can't afford to offend her."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tong felt like slapping himself. "Why did you have to act so arrogantly back then?"

"Of course I can see you! Mr. Qin, just ignore what I said back then!"

Mr. Tong was heartbroken and put the "law of true fragrance" into practice with his actions.

"But I'm a womanizer, and I'm just playing with your daughter's feelings."

Qin Tai said hesitantly.

Mr. Tong was on the verge of tears, but against his conscience, he said, "A man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth is wasting his life! It's normal for some people to be jealous. To each their own, I won't believe such rumors!"

Qin Tai suppressed the urge to burst into laughter and nodded seriously, saying, "Alright then, since Mr. Tong has put it this way, it would seem like I, a junior, would lack manners to refuse!"

"Great! I'll arrange it right away!" Mr. Tong was overjoyed, and thought to himself, "My daughter, the future of our Tong Group depends entirely on you!"

Actually, Qin Tai didn't hold any resentment towards Mr. Tong. If it weren't for Mr. Tong's unexpected help, he probably wouldn't have been able to come up with the 5 billion US dollars so readily, as the opportunity to make money is fleeting.

Once the plane reaches a certain altitude, it will no longer care about the rain, snow, or hail below.

"Strange, why haven't we heard anything from Gao Jin?"

Qin Tai thought for a moment and then dialed number zero.

Back then, Gao Jin lent him 12 billion US dollars without hesitation, and Qin Tai naturally owed him this favor. Given their relationship, the profit could not be calculated simply based on double the initial investment.

So Qin Tai simply rounded it down to 50 billion US dollars as a return gift.

Unfortunately, there has been no news from Gao Jin for a long time. The head of the charity gambling foundation also sent a message indicating that since Gao Jin played a gambling game with Mr. Yama at the Black Tiger Association in Japan, there has been no news for nearly ten days, and he has not appeared in any casino or participated in any gambling games.

"The Black Tiger Society, going up the mountain?"

Qin Tai raised an eyebrow, immediately thinking of the plot of "God of Gamblers 1".

Now, has the God of Gamblers, Ko Chun, already suffered a major setback—yes, the kind of literal fall from the mountaintop all the way down to the foot of the mountain—and is now adrift and dejected on an outlying island?

Qin Tai immediately called Long Wu, whose robotic voice remained cold and ruthless, and said with a hint of melancholy, "Gao Jin has been missing for eleven days. The last time we contacted him was on the train. I used many connections to search for him, but unfortunately, I found nothing."

Qin Tai countered, "Did Gao Jin have a bet with the gambling tycoon Chen Jincheng?"

“That’s right!” Long Wu was somewhat surprised, not understanding how Qin Tai knew this secret. “This was an invitation from Mr. Shangshan, the leader of the Black Tiger Society in Japan, who paid a lot of money to play the emotional card. He invited Gao Jin to compete against the gambling demon Chen Jincheng in international waters. The odds for this match were very high, with Southeast Asian experts and gamblers betting on Gao Jin to win at a 3:1 ratio…”

Then we can be absolutely certain!

Qin Tai was now quite certain that the storyline of God of Gamblers 1 had begun, and the future God of Gamblers, Chen Xiaodao, was about to make his dazzling debut.

"Leave the search for Gao Jin to me; I have some leads on the matter." Qin Tai readily took on the task.

A rare smile appeared on Long Wu's face: "That would be perfect! Now that Gao Jin is gone, Gao Jin's cousin Gao Yi is in charge of handling everything, but I don't like him at all, and I don't trust him!"

Qin Tai nodded and said, "Then your suspicions are absolutely correct. Gao Yi is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing, a born traitor and an ingrate. So you have to protect Gao Jin's wife, Janet. After all, which ambitious underling doesn't have his eye on his sister-in-law and dumplings?"

"Besides, con artists are especially prone to losing their wives."

Long Wu's forehead was covered in black lines, but fortunately he was familiar with Qin Tai's smooth and unreliable behavior, so he didn't have much to complain about.

Gao Jin's first wife, Xi Qi, is now living with her parents, while his second wife, Janet, is incredibly charming. Gao Yi has indeed been behaving rather promiscuously lately, and has repeatedly shown signs of crossing the line.

As Gao Jin's close friend, it was essential for me to protect his backyard. Otherwise, if Gao Jin came back one day with a green hat on his forehead, it would be a laughing stock.

"I understand. If you have any news about Gao Jin, please let me know immediately."

Long Wu hung up the phone succinctly, still as cold and unapproachable as ever.

Qin Tai didn't take it seriously and immediately arranged for Xiao Mao, a senior intelligence expert, to investigate Chen Xiaodao's background, even going so far as to specify details such as his childhood sweetheart A Zhen, his younger brother Crow, his home in Dingwu, and the nearby villa owned by A San, etc.

The worldview of the merged world may change, but the fixed character information remains the same, so the answer will be obtained in a short time. At the same time, Qin Tai personally went to Gao Jin's villa in Australia, and now it was Gao Yi who had taken over the place.

Originally just a driver and leader, Gao Yi changed his previously servile and low-key demeanor, becoming extremely flamboyant. He combed his hair like an adult, displaying an arrogance that resembled "when the cat's away, the mice will play."

Clearly, he was ready to replace Gao Jinqu.

However, no matter how arrogant he was, when he saw Qin Tai, the newly crowned richest man in Asia, he had to lower his proud head and his face was full of respect and flattery: "Mr. Qin, the stock market god, it is truly an honor to have you here! I wonder what you have to teach me since you have come in person? It is such a pity that my cousin Gao Jin is still missing!"

At this point, Gao Yi even shed two crocodile tears, perfectly portraying his hypocritical nature. Anyone who didn't know better would have been fooled by this scene of deep brotherly affection.

Qin Tai secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. With such acting skills, it was a waste of talent not to become a movie star.
