In the casino, people like Lin Kang are called fish, and letting them win a few games is called releasing the fry. To put it bluntly, it means letting them win a few games first, get addicted to gambling, and then letting him lose it all back in one gulp.
I watched Lin Kang and Chen Ruhai from afar. I had lost the five thousand I had given him, not to mention the two hundred thousand Chen Ruhai had signed a cheque for him.
“Quick, go and get me some chips, I’m F*cking broke.”
“You’ve already lost 200,000, it’s only been an hour. A small loss is a win. ……”
When he heard the word “lose”, Lin Kang became furious and grabbed Chen Ruhai’s collar. He was pinned down on the table by Lin Kang. The woman at the table screamed and caused quite a commotion.
“Do you need to tell me how much I lost? Just give me the money.”
Even if he had money, Chen Ruhai couldn’t stand to spend it like this in a flowing stream. It was obvious that Lin Kang was a bottomless pit and his gambling skills were so bad that there was no chance of winning.
“Then what if you keep losing? Do you not care how much you lose and have to keep throwing money in?”
Lin Kang was so angry that his face turned red, grabbing a handful of cards and shoving them into Chen Ruhai’s mouth regardless, he had lost his mind at this point, and the words he feared hearing the most were also losing.
A few security guards came around and tried to stand Lin Kang up, but Lin Kang said to Chen Ruhai before he was dragged away, “I said why my luck is so bad today, it’s because you keep chanting in my ear about losing. I’m warning you, all my losses today will be yours, or we’ll bet your son’s life.”
Panic instantly flashed in Chen Ruhai’s eyes, for Chen Yu Zhou was his soft underbelly.
Once again, Chen Ruhai gave in, “Okay, I’ll pay. But the cheque is not enough, there is only one last one left, if you lose again there is nothing I can do.”
Lin Kang slapped him with his backhand, “Don’t you dare say the word “lose” again.”
The slap was particularly loud, without any force at all. Chen Ruhai, an old man of his age, couldn’t take it, and his face swelled up immediately, with a thread of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Boss He hurriedly parted the crowd and asked the security guard what was going on.
Chen Ruhai said, “It’s nothing, Mr. He, you can go about your business.”
Lin Kang glanced at Boss He and the security guards, snorted coldly and pointed at Chen Ruhai, “You better expect me to win this hand. Three million, I’m all in on the big one.”
Even Boss He sucked in a breath of cold air, three million was not a small amount, and with Lin Kang’s poker skills, it was basically given for nothing.
Chen Ruhai’s face was ashen as he wrote down the cheque and handed it to the waiter to exchange for chips, which soon came and the game was reopened.
“Big, big, big! Give me big!”
“Three points, small.”
Lin Kang dropped to his butt and sat down. Chen Ruhai had probably expected the money to go nowhere, so he didn’t react in any particular way.
“Impossible, I don’t believe it, how is it possible!”
Lin Kang lunged out to grab the colour, but was stopped by two security guards, and Boss He said, “Little brother Lin, you have no more chips, so you should logically withdraw from the game, there is still a buffet outside, go out and eat something.”
Lin Kang was mad, his eyes were red and he roared, “Who says I’ve lost? I haven’t finished yet.”
“What are you betting with, you have no more chips.” Boss He asked.
Lin Kang said, “I still have some, I’ll bet one hand to you, damn it I’ll bet my life with you, I don’t believe it, I’m so lucky, I can definitely win today.”
Boss He and the security guards behind him looked at each other for a moment, the rest of them were shocked by Lin Kang’s crazy look, gambling on money and gambling on life were two different things, but Boss He was calm, running a casino, how many times a year could you not see blood gambling?
“I don’t want your life, I’m a businessman, I’m not an executioner. The organs in your body can be exchanged for money for about 800,000, but other organs can only be sold when they are matched. You can bet on a pair of your corneas.” Boss He said calmly.
Probably this was the high seas and already a place outside the law, so he had no burden in his heart when he said these words.
This place has no mobile phone signal, so all the things that you have to hide under the darkness to come quietly in Tongcheng can be put on the table for real at this time.
The words scared the piss out of Lin Kang, who briefly sobered up.
“Bet or not, if so, I’ll have someone prepare a donation contract for you. Otherwise, young brother, you might as well go out for some buffet, the view on the high seas at night is good and you can see the glowing plankton.”
Lin Kang clenched his fist and thought for a moment, “I bet.”
They say that gamblers don’t want to die, and it seems to be true.
Everyone was dumbfounded by Lin Kang’s look of wanting to gamble rather than live, and they all fell silent. I suddenly understood why Lin Kang owed so much money and why Lin Fang had become like that in order to pay his debts.
Boss He was not surprised and said, “Good, Xiao Bai, bring him the contract.”
“Wait, I’m not betting on my own. I’m betting on his.”
Lin Kang pointed at Chen Ruhai, who was so stunned that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut and was dumbfounded.
“Old thing, sign. You cut the crap with me, the eyes or the son, which do you want.”
Originally it was just a payment, but Chen Ruhai could accept it even though it was painful, he could still earn it back anyway, but now it was different, this time it was a corneal donation, once he agreed he would be completely blind.
Chen Ruohai had been a powerful man in the city all his life, so how could he have thought that he would fall into the hands of this little brat?
“What are you waiting for, sign it quickly, don’t make me angry!”
Dozens of people, dozens of pairs of eyes, silently stared at Chen Ruhai.
Chen Ruhai instantly aged like a real old man, with his back dog wrapped around him, staring at the donation contract over and over again, tears welling up in his eyes.
His hand was shaking, he pulled out the pen and hesitated to sign it, repeating this several times, and in the end, he closed his eyes and signed his name with tears in his eyes.
