Power and Wealth
Chapter 1258 – Over 46 Million USD!
Early morning.
4.30 am.
The casino lobby had gone mad.
“This guy is so accurate!”
“Eh, what happened? Who won?”
“Did you just come? That young man won again!”
“That’s right. He bet and won three times on the winning number!”
“What? Three times? F**k! How much is that?”
“He bet around 1.3 million USD, and the payout is 36 times. He won tens of millions of USD!”
More people gathered. Some high-rollers in the VIP room heard what happened and came out to watch.
Song Yuhu turned to the old man beside him. “Senior Zhou, this…”
Senior Zhou asked. “Do you think he cheated?”
Song Yuhu replied. “It’s rare for anyone to win a single-number bet, let alone three times. How can anyone be so lucky? It is statically impossible!”
Senior Zhou replied slowly. “You also saw he was standing away from the roulette wheel at the end.”
Song Yuhu kept quiet. Many people saw Dong Xuebing, and the women were pushed out of the crowd towards the end of that round. They could not cheat from that distance. “Was it luck?”
Senior Zhou shook his head. “I don’t know.”
“What should we do now?” Song Yuhu inhaled deeply.
The dealer looked at the people in charge, waiting for their instructions.
Dong Xuebing knocked on the roulette table. “Hey, shouldn’t you give me my winnings? The payout is 36 times.”
The supervisor was sweating profusely. “This…”
Dong Xuebing looked at him. “You all set the rules, and this casino is opened by you all. Could you give me my winnings now? Why are you all so reluctant to give me my winnings every time I win? Why is Hong Kong’s biggest gambling ship so petty? Everyone is watching you.”
The supervisor looked at Song Yuhu.
The dealers and staff could not make the decision.
The winning is too big. It is almost half of the casino’s profits today. If they pay Dong Xuebing, half of the casino’s profits today will be gone.
Only the higher-ups can decide.
Dong Xuebing turned and looked toward Song Yuhu and Senior Zhou.
Senior Zhou hit the floor with his walking stick. “Give him his winnings.”
Song Yuhu protested. “Senior Zhou, this…”
“Give it to him.” Senior Zhou said. “We will pay as long he is not cheating.”
The supervisor immediately asked the dealers and staff to get the chips. After a while, they returned with five to six trays of 10,000 USD chips. Dong Xuebing placed his empty suitcase on the table for the dealers and staff to put the chips in. All guests looked at them enviously.
One tray of chips…
Three trays of chips…
Five trays of chips…
The total was almost five thousand chips.
The suitcase was almost half full.
Zhang Longjuan’s digital suitcase was a large reinforced suitcase. This scene was shocking. Most players in the casino exchanged tens of thousands or a few million USD. Those high-rollers would exchange around ten million USD at most. Not many people had seen so many casino chips in a suitcase.
The dealer said. “Please check your chips.”
The total was over 46 million USD.
Dong Xuebing’s eye twitched when he saw the chips.
This is almost 300 million RMB! Dong Xuebing’s house, rings, and savings are worth slightly more than these chips.
Many guests looked at the chips in the suitcase.
Dong Xuebing counted the chips briefly and closed the suitcase. It was heavy.
Shen Xiaomei walked over and carried the suitcase. She was surprised by the weight of it.
They got the money too fast.
One thousand USD became almost 50 million USD within half an hour.
This is a miracle!
Everyone in the casino was looking at Dong Xuebing.
They had seen someone winning a lot of money and heard of someone who went from rags to riches overnight. But they had never met anyone who gambled like this young man.
One casino chip.
All in on every bet.
One chip was fine. Thirty-six chips were nothing too. But this guy dropped over a million USD into the box and bet everything on a single number. Who else has this courage and composure?
Who is this guy?
This guy is crazy.
Dong Xuebing looked at Zhang Longjuan and smiled. “I did not disappoint you, Sis Zhang.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “You had surprised me again, brat.”
Shen Xiaoyan thought to herself. This is no longer a surprise. It’s shocking! What incredible luck do you have?
“What should we do now?” Dong Xuebing asked.
Zhang Longjuan smiled. “I will not interfere. You can decide.”
Shen Xiaomei smiled wearily. “I will not say anything else, Mr. Dong. Just do whatever you like.”
Zhang Longjuan nodded. “You decide. I brought five million USD onboard and lost everything. You win this money and can decide what you want to do with it.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Don’t say that. Don’t forget that you gave the most when we pooled our money.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “It was not a big amount.”
“This is important. Anyway, I am not going to keep anything.” Dong Xuebing said. “The winnings will be given to you to settle your company’s financial issues. I got a job and did not spend much. Money is meaningless to me.”
Shen Xiaoyan interrupted. “My Sis and I did not help much. We only came up with a few hundred HKD. We don’t care how you will split the winnings with Ms. Zhang. Just don’t count us in.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Let’s talk about it after we get back.”
Shen Xiaomei asked. “Is this money enough to tide your company over?”
“It’s far from it.” Zhang Longjuan laughed. “But it is enough to extend for around two weeks.”
Shen Xiaomei asked. “Then how much do you need to settle all your problems?”
Zhang Longjuan thought about it and replied. “I need at least two hundred million USD to solve all my financial issues. But never mind. Dragging two weeks more is good enough.”
“Two hundred million USD…” Dong Xuebing thought about it.
Shen Xiaoyan asked. “Are we continuing to play, or should we go back?”
Shen Xiaomei replied. “Should we stop now? Err… I am not suggesting anything.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “I announced I would win over a hundred million USD from them. How can I stop now? Moreover, Sis Zhang’s company requires two hundred million USD. I will win it since I am on a winning streak.” Before they could reply, he took the suitcase and turned to the roulette table. To everybody’s shock, Dong Xuebing opened the suitcase and poured all the chips into the box. He shook the box at the end to ensure no chip was left.
All in!
This guy is betting on everything again!
This is 46 million USD!
Everyone was stunned. What is this guy thinking? He is not treating those chips as money!
Everyone’s attitude towards Dong Xuebing now had changed. Some felt he was reckless earlier and did not know how to gamble. But after winning three times, no one thinks like this.
He could win three times.
Who knows if he can win the fourth or fifth time?
This is possible based on his past results.
All the guests looked at Dong Xuebing. They did not place any bets as they were waiting for him. Many had decided to follow his bet.
The atmosphere in the casino changed.
Song Yuhu was looking terrible.
The supervisor and dealers were wary.
They might as well close the casino if Dong Xuebing wins again.
Senior Zhou’s eyelid twitched, and said slowly to Song Yuhu. “Close the table for maintenance.”
“Yes. I understand.” Song Yuhu wiped his sweat and walked over quickly. He announced that the table would be closed for maintenance. The players who had placed their bets will get back their chips.
Some guests protested.
“Why are you suspending the roulette table again?”
“What is this?”
“Are you not allowing us to play? Both roulette tables have stopped.”
“Are you scared of losing money to that young man?”
Song Yuhu apologized. “I am sorry. There might be some problems with our roulette wheel today.”
Many players grumbled and left for other games. They understood what the casino was thinking. That young man had won three times, and the casino checked. They did not find evidence of him cheating and might suspect an issue with the roulette wheel. That’s why they suspended the roulette tables.
Dong Xuebing looked at the casino staff without saying a word.
Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were relieved. They were afraid Dong Xuebing might lose. That’s almost fifty million USD.
Song Yuhu waved.
A few dealers packed Dong Xuebing’s chips into his suitcase and returned it to him. “Please check your chips. We are sorry about it.”
Dong Xuebing did not say anything nor take the suitcase.
The dealer was sweating. “Sir, please…”
Senior Zhou walked over and smiled. “Young man, just treat it as giving me ‘face.’ We must check our roulette tables and will not resume play today.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Then who is going to give me ‘face?’”
Senior Zhou smiled. “All right. I heard you are going to play with Xiao Song and his friends. I will let you all use the Platinum VIP room.”
