C205 Winner
Beside him, seated close to him, was a well-dressed woman, straddling his arm, but the woman's face was looking away from him, out of sight.
Looking at the man and woman, my heart started pounding.
The man I saw was Duan Xiangloong, my college classmate, my former rival in the business world and his rival in love.
I don't remember him having a love of gambling. I didn't expect that after half a year, he would become addicted to it.
Could the woman beside him be Dong Xue?
My heart palpitated a few times, and an indescribable feeling welled up.
My eyes were fixed on the screen, on the woman.
After a moment, the woman turned around. It wasn't Dong Xue, but an unfamiliar face.
I heaved a sigh of relief, then thought, Didn't Dong Xue follow Duan Xinglong? Could it be that Duan Xiangloong is having fun with a girl behind Dong Xue's back? An affair? Or perhaps, this woman was the young lady that Lee Shun had provided to "change her mind"?
A lot of casinos offered young ladies a different name, and many gamblers were superstitious about this point. When a gambler lost, they would find a woman to fire at, which would change their luck and turn the tables around.
Of course, I think this is just an excuse for gamblers to play with women.
I was so focused on the baccarat platform on the screen, watching Duan Xiangloong's every move, I didn't even notice when Lee Shun left.
Duan Xiangloong seemed to be quite lucky tonight. He won even the next few chips. Not long later, a stack of chips piled up in front of him. Duan Xiangloong was very excited. With a conspicuous look in his mouth, he shook his head.
I don't know how many times Duan Xiangloong has come here to play, nor do I know how his overall outcome here is.
However, I know that as long as you are a gambler who often plays baccarat, the more you win the more you will continue to come.
The greed of humans was boundless, especially gamblers. The people who opened casinos weren't afraid of you winning the most, because they had a good idea of what was going on. As for the losers, they would only get worse and worse. If they wanted to take back their winnings, the more they wanted to take back their winnings, the more they would lose. In the end, they would lose everything.
"This person is a new gambler. Tonight is the third time he's been here, and he wins every time. He took away about 600 thousand people from here." At some point, Qin Xiaobing was standing behind me.
I looked back at Qin Xiaobing. Qin Xiaobing seemed to know who I was observing.
"I'm not afraid of him winning too much. I'm only afraid that he won too little." Qin Xiaobing continued: "New gamblers, basically won't lose, more or less to give a little sweet. "These young mistresses have a good grasp of the situation."
I understood the meaning behind Qin Xiaobing's words. The winner and loser were not in the hands of the gambler, but in the hands of the dealer.
"I need to find out more about this man's background and his family background." Unknowingly, Lee Shun came in again and stared at Duan Xiangloong on the screen: "These kinds of guests are all good people. You must pay attention to their cultivation and development, you must definitely catch them." I want him to be a millionaire and a billionaire. "
"Yes — —" Qin nodded.
"Qin, you need to set up a file, establish a complete customer file, and grasp the financial situation of the customers at all times. As an important basis for lending, those who are about to lose, lend carefully, first, don't put more money in, secondly, keep it back in time, and prevent situations where the customers can't get it back. For those who have a solid family background, as long as they offer to use the loan, they just need to make a large number of loans, and they don't need to fear that if he uses more money, they won't need to use it too much." Lee Shun said again.
Qin nodded with a depressed look on his face.
Listening to the conversation between Lee Shun and Qin Xiaobing, my heart became heavy. I felt that I was Lee Shun's accomplice in committing evil and had single-handedly planned the whole process of Lee Shun's evil, which was tantamount to helping the evil.
I didn't dare to think about Duan Xiangloong's final outcome. I didn't know what Qin Xiaobing would find out about Duan Xiangloong, how far they would investigate him, and what they would know about Duan Xiangloong.
"Qin, tell everyone here that today is the last time this person will win money. Next time, start killing him mercilessly and make him spit out what happened the previous few times. It's best if he takes the loan from here." Lee Shun said.
Qin nodded again.
I looked at Duan Xiangloong, who was in the throes of the game, and felt a chill in my heart. I didn't know if I should find him and let him stop in time.
My first thought was to tell him not to come again. But, I thought, if I told him, would he believe me? How do I explain to him how I know all this? How can I make him believe me?
I would never tell him about my experiences during this period of time. If I didn't tell him, he definitely wouldn't believe me.
Moreover, not only would he not believe it, he might even think that I have other intentions, and that I am plotting to take revenge on him for seizing Dong Xue's hatred. If that's the case, then my kind intentions will never be rewarded, and I might even become the target of his ridicule and mockery.
Thinking of this, I immediately dispelled the idea of becoming a good person. We are all adults, and the path of humans is chosen by ourselves. Since he wants to be a gambler, then let him do it.
As for how he is going to do it, that is his own business. Perhaps, he would be more sensible and stop when he sees better. That way, I wouldn't need to rely on my own heart.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that I was very despicable. He was my rival in love, and he had taken away my woman. Why should I go and save him? Wasn't it too useless of me to be a good person? Am I still a fucking man?
Thinking like this, I felt a bit better, but I didn't want to stay here and watch anymore, so I said goodbye to Lee Shun.
When sending me out, Lee Shun asked me: "What happened to Qiu Tong last night?"
Lee Shun seemed to care a lot about Qiu Tong's attitude.
"I don't know!" I said, "I don't see anything unusual about it."
Lee Shun gave a long "oh".
"Boss Qiu didn't call you?" I asked Lee Shun.
Lee Shun didn't answer and stopped walking. He raised his head and looked at the deep night sky in a daze. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a hint of melancholy and gloom in Lee Shun's eyes …
She's mine, mine, what I can't get, nobody can get. " After a long while, Lee Shun mumbled to himself.
For a moment, I didn't understand the meaning behind Lee Shun's words. I didn't understand the intention behind Lee Shun's words.
I just faintly felt that this matter seemed to have had an impact on Qiu Tong and Lee Shun's mental state.
When we split up, I told Lee Shun: "Let the three of them go, it was also a misunderstanding. No matter what they did to me, at least they are loyal to you. His opponents were better, as the martial arts world often said, 'I am under the protection of the boss, and the boss is under his care.'
Lee Shun listened to what I had to say. He looked at me for a while, then patted my shoulder and nodded. Then, he turned around and left.
He got out of the taxi and was about to enter the lobby when he saw a familiar figure standing in the bamboo forest near the lake not far from the entrance. It was Qiu Tong.
I crept up behind Qiu Tong and coughed softly.
Qiu Tong didn't turn her head, nor did she move her body. It was as though she didn't hear my movements.
I was about to cough again when I heard Qiu Tong say, "You're back."
Apparently, Qiu Tong already knew I was behind her.
I said, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"
"I slept, I woke up, I'm not sleepy anymore. I was so stuffy, I came out to take a breath of air." Qiu Tong still didn't look back.
"It's getting late, let's go back to sleep. It's cold at night, don't freeze." I saw that Qiu Tong was wearing thin clothes, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Qiu Tong agreed, but still stood there without moving.
Seeing that Qiu Tong didn't want to leave, I took off my jacket and placed it on Qiu Tong's shoulder before standing behind her.
Qiu Tong raised her head to look at the curved moon in the deep night sky. After staring for a long time, she seemed to have forgotten about my existence. Right now, I will be embarrassed. " After saying that, he sighed deeply and continued, "May I, like the Monarch of the stars, shine with the bright night light."
I stood behind Qiu Tong with tender feelings, looking at her graceful and lonely figure without words.
Then Qiu Tong fell silent again, looking down at the moon reflected in the lake. He bent down to pick up a small stone and threw it into the lake. Immediately, the surface of the lake began to ripple and the moon began to shatter …
"I'm so ashamed and cruel, destroying the harmony of the scenery." Qiu Tong turned around and looked at me.0
"It's only temporary. The lake surface will soon calm down, and the scenery will continue to be the same!" "No," I said.
"Unfortunately, life cannot be like this … Reality determines things that cannot be changed, life does not go back to the past, only the enigmatic tomorrow. " Qiu Tong said, gently shook her head: "Buddha said, let go of the ability to release, we are troubled by our hearts, not the current life. If he could treat everything in life with a calm heart, he would dispel all distractions in his heart and enjoy a transcendent life … Buddha, although it may sound simple, it is extremely difficult to practice in the real world. "
With that, Qiu Tong walked back, and I followed.
After entering the hotel lobby, Qiu Tong returned my jacket to me. "Thank you —"
I took the jacket. Qiu Tong looked at me and suddenly said, "Why are your clothes so wrinkled and dirty? Are you out fighting?"
"No," I said, "I tripped on the road."
Qiu Tong looked me up and down. "You're being dishonest. You just came back. You must have fought with someone. Tell me honestly."
"There really isn't a fight." My voice was hollow.
Qiu Tong didn't continue asking. She looked at me a few times and said, "You're not allowed to wear these clothes to see anyone tomorrow. Do you have anything else to change into?"
"Yes!" I said quickly.
Qiu Tong nodded and headed upstairs.
That night, there was nothing to say.
