The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 516: Just to Delay You
The ground floor of Mega Club consists of two halls, one large and one small, both of which are casinos. The casinos have everything, including the most popular gambling games in the world.

The hall has roulette, Pai Gow, Daxiao, Fantan...

The small hall has mahjong, poker, stud, etc.

There is also a Turkish bath (steam sauna) and various leisure and entertainment facilities on the second floor. It also provides opium smoking and escort services.

The girls here are all good girls from surrounding areas. After special training, they are provided for the entertainment of the powerful.

There are two auxiliary buildings at the back, which are restaurants, one Chinese restaurant and one Western restaurant. The chefs of the Western restaurant were hired from the Ritz Hotel at a high price, so the quality of the Western food here is not worse than that of the Red House, and may even be better.

Pan Sansheng invited Cheng Mo to dinner today and they placed the meal in the Western restaurant.

Cheng Mo didn't say he would stay for dinner, but he didn't say he wouldn't either. It depended on how the talks with Peng Nian went. If the talks broke down, then he wouldn't be able to stay for dinner.

Cheng Mo didn't know much about gambling, nor did he have any personal experience. Once he got addicted to it, he would lose everything and his family would be torn apart.

Even if he thinks he has the willpower, he won't try it easily. He doesn't know if he can get out of it once he gets stuck in it.

However, one thing is certain, as long as there are other goals, and the pleasure of achieving this goal is greater and more attractive than gambling, it should be easy to do.

People like Ding Mo-cun have all the five vices: smoking opium, gambling, and being lustful. They are all bad. But as long as his own life is involved, he can be absolutely rational and stop.

If he hadn't been able to hold back for a moment, he might have lost his life long ago.

People with great perseverance can often accomplish things. Although people like Ding Mocun and Lin Shiqun are notorious, the reason they can get to where they are today is certainly the collapse of their ideals and beliefs, but in some ways they are also capable people.

If I didn’t have the ability, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

To fight with these people, you must be extremely careful and not have any chance of luck.

Even if it is Lin Zhijiang, this guy looks like just a thug-level character, but for him who came from the Military Control Commission, how could it be easy for him to become Lin Shiqun's confidant?
Simple people in a place like No. 76 will either be used as cannon fodder or be devoured without leaving even a bone.

"Captain Lin, do you want to play a few rounds?" Cheng Mo looked at Lin Zhijiang and it was clear that he wanted to play a few rounds himself.

"Lin is just accompanying Mr. Cheng on a tour. If Mr. Cheng is interested, Lin will accompany him." Lin Zhijiang laughed. He is a frequent visitor here and is naturally familiar with gambling, but he is still relatively restrained.

"I seldom gamble, and at most I just play mahjong." Cheng Mo said, "How good is Captain Lin at playing mahjong?"

"so so."

"Then next time I'll organize a game, invite Commissioner Wang Miao, Captain Lin, and one more person, and we can play a game together, how about that?"

"I am honored to be invited by Mr. Cheng." Lin Zhijiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Cheng Mo was planning, but Wang Miao was in the game and he was close to Lin Shiqun. So it was difficult for him to refuse. It wasn't the moment anyway. If he really didn't want to go at that time, he could still refuse.

"Then it's settled." Cheng Mo said, "How is Director Peng's poker skills and his poker character?"

"Director Peng, I don't know about that. Lin has never played cards with him." Lin Zhijiang chuckled and forced a smile.

"It doesn't matter. You'll know once you play cards."

Lin Zhijiang smiled and said nothing. It was fine to play mahjong with Peng Nian as long as Wang Miao was present.

"Captain Lin, this roulette game is played on a heartbeat. Are you interested in playing with me?" Cheng Mo and Lin Zhijiang came to the roulette wheel and said.

"How do you want to play, Mr. Cheng?" Lin Zhijiang asked. There are many ways to play roulette, and it depends on how people place their bets. Generally, people place bets on several numbers, and as long as one of them wins, they won't lose money.

Roulette is the easiest way to gamble with a small bet for a big win, but the casino can control the ball, so gamblers cannot outsmart the casino.

Especially when there are fewer people betting, it is easier to control, but when there are more people betting, it is difficult to calculate.

After all, every number could be bet on, so it all depends on the casino's computing power. There were seven or eight people gathered around the roulette wheel. This round had already begun, and if they wanted to place a bet, they would have to wait for the next round.

The roulette wheel gradually stopped spinning, and a group of people began to stare at the steel ball on the roulette wheel and started shouting excitedly, everyone was calling out the numbers they had bet on.

But the number the ball finally stops at is not determined by their will.

Cheng Mo's eyes can even calculate the trajectory of high-speed bullets. The speed of the steel ball in the disc is no faster than that of the bullet, so calculating its trajectory is even easier.

As long as the roulette wheel is still spinning, you can place bets until the dealer stops the game.

This kind of gambling depends entirely on luck, as long as the casino does not cheat.

The casino only needs to adjust the tilt of the roulette wheel or add a little weight to a certain position to change the probability of the area where the steel ball falls each time.

A magnet is enough, but for a master of gambling, this kind of cheating can be seen at a glance, so gamblers can never beat the casino. Even if they are betting on probability, the casino is the one who wins in the end, and they can make adjustments at any time.

No one knows the secret, but someone always guesses it right, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

Want to check out the roulette equipment, are you qualified?
As the roulette wheel starts to spin counterclockwise.

"Mr. Cheng, please."

Cheng Mo nodded. He had asked someone to exchange some chips just now, about two hundred yuan, and he was just playing around.

Cheng Mo took out a ten-dollar chip and placed it on the number "3", then made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Zhijiang was a little surprised that Cheng Mo actually placed a bet. This either showed that he was extremely confident, or that he was just playing around and trying his luck. A professional gambler would definitely not play like this.

"Mr. Cheng is so confident that he's making a huge bet?"

"I'm a very loyal person. I won't be indecisive." Cheng Mo laughed.

"Then I'll bet on number 6." Lin Zhijiang also took a chip and placed it on number .

More people started placing bets around, and the roulette wheel slowed down. As the dealer called a halt to betting, the speed of the steel ball in the roulette wheel also slowed down.

Until it came to a complete stop, the steel ball slowly slid into the black area No. 5 under the action of inertia.

"Hey!"

Cheng Mo sighed. He lost, and of course, Lin Zhijiang lost too. The chips they bet on were naturally taken away by the dealer.

"Mr. Cheng, are you coming again?" Lin Zhijiang asked with a smile.

Cheng Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Continue."

Cheng Mo still made a last-ditch effort, and he lost the second time. However, this time it was just a little bit off. If the steel ball had been a little off, he would have won.

Single bet, number, that’s 35 times the odds, a typical small bet for a big win, the probability of this happening is extremely small.

In fact, through several trajectory calculations, Cheng Mo was able to basically determine which number grid the steel ball would fall into, but if he cheated, I'm afraid that Zhaofeng would not be able to afford the compensation.

Besides, he doesn't need to use this method to gain wealth.

And he bet ten dollars every time, which was the smallest chip he had.

The reason why he continued to play was just to delay Lin Zhijiang and give Qin Chi more time. It would be best if Lin Zhijiang could not hear his conversation with Peng Nian.
