Chapter 175 The Casino 1
Ye Xingchen stood where he was, didn't chase after him, just watched the truck drift away until finally he couldn't see anything, he still refused to look back, but his heart was full of certainty, although this kind of happiness was a bit painful, but it was still happiness.

Colombia.

On the top floor of the six-star hotel is a luxurious casino with a brilliant name...Golden Palace.

It echoes the Gold Museum across the street.

Not only that, the internal structure of the Golden Palace is exactly the same as that of the Gold Museum, and there is even a resplendent... Golden Hall.

The Golden Hall is the center of the casino. The entrance is heavily guarded. Bodyguards in black and sunglasses patrol around and check the identity of each gambler. Gamblers must enter in batches. Each batch cannot exceed 20 people. any offensive weapon.

It was pitch black when the gamblers behind Zhengming entered the hall, and in a blink of an eye, the lights were brightly lit, and the lights on the surrounding walls flickered on, and the exquisite gambling tables began to turn slowly, and the melodious Indian music sounded in their ears. In the sound of music, people will think that they have entered the mythical "golden world."

Zuo Lingfeng was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a combination box in his hand, and walked slowly towards the door of the Golden Hall. The bodyguards already knew him. He came to the casino to gamble every day for several days. He lost more and won less, but he was still keen on this kind of exciting money. game.

"Mr. Zuo!" The bodyguard greeted in standard Spanish.

Zuo Lingfeng nodded slightly, and with a slight smile on his handsome face, he handed over his ID card and VIP card, and then opened the lockbox. Half of the gold bars in the full box had been lost, but they could still dazzle people's eyes. Even though the bodyguards were wearing sunglasses, their eyes were still tight.

These gold bars themselves are worth thousands of gold, and when they are used as chips in the casino, each piece is multiplied by a hundred times. This Mr. Zuo has already lost half of the money, but he still doesn't blink. His worth seems to be incalculable.

The bodyguards checked the gold bars, and after confirming that they were correct, they respectfully returned the lockbox to him. Zuo Lingfeng accepted it with a smile, tipped him casually, and then turned to another bodyguard in front of him. Without any offensive weapons, he was willing to let him go. He also gave a tip, and then entered the golden hall without haste. After entering, there was darkness in front of him. When he was so bright, his expression returned to the way it was before, his posture was unrestrained and elegant.

He swept across the golden hall lightly. He didn't bother to play those elementary and intermediate gambling games. The staff of the casino also rushed up to greet them, and said respectfully, "Mr. Zuo, you are here, this way please!"

Zuo Lingfeng didn't speak, and just followed the staff to the stairs. The stairs didn't lead to the upstairs, but to the basement. Below the golden hall was a more advanced gambling place... the golden secret room.

The golden chamber is more luxurious. This is not just a casino, but more like an exhibition hall. All kinds of gold ornaments in the glass walls radiate strange brilliance, dazzling and golden, as if traveling through time and space, and being in the ancient Inca golden empire. , But looking at these, there will be cruel pictures of savage bandits killing Indians several centuries ago.

"Oh, Mr. Zuo is here!" A mixed-race man said with a smile.

Zuo Lingfeng nodded slightly, the expression on Zhang Jun's face remained unchanged, and his voice was neither too fast nor too slow, very nice, without any emotional fluctuations in his tone, he said with a half-smile, "Mr. Edie!"

The mixed-race man made a "please sit down" gesture, the waiter pulled out the chair for him, Zuo Lingfeng sat down unhurriedly, there were already several people sitting around the gaming table, waiting for him to start the game.

He put the lockbox on the gaming table, gesturing to open it, but Mr. Edie suddenly made a gesture and interrupted him, "Mr. Zuo, we've been playing for several days, when are we going to talk about business?"

Zuo Lingfeng's eyes flashed a faintness that no one else could notice, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, "I don't seem to be very lucky these days. I feel that it's unlucky to talk about business. Why don't you wait?"

He was smiling on his face, but he was shouting in his heart, damn it, why didn't he come?
Zuo Lingfeng's tactful refusal made the mixed-race man on the opposite side a little displeased, but he still nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Then let's play again?"

Zuo Lingfeng smiled and said nothing, black suit, white shirt, black hair and black eyes, handsome and unrestrained, calmly opened the lockbox, took out a gold bar, and bet, 100 million US dollars, the same as before.

The mixed-race man suddenly laughed, as if he thought it was too little, Zuo Lingfeng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart felt a little "thud", feeling that the situation was not good, as if the other party had lost his patience.Indeed, after a few days of delay, even he was almost at a loss. He had no choice but to deliberately lose money every day, but the person he was waiting for hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't act alone.

"Mr. Zuo, we've been playing like this for several days, and there's nothing new about it. Why don't we play a little bigger today?" the mixed-race man suggested.

Zuo Lingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "How does Mr. Edie want to play?"

The mixed-race man did not answer immediately, but picked up the cigarette case, smoked a cigarette, and held it in his mouth. The Latin beauty at the side immediately picked up the lighter and lit it for him. The mixed-race man took a puff, and the white smoke slowly After spitting it out, Zuo Lingfeng held his breath slightly, but he still smelled that special smell, which was... the smell of drugs.

"Mr. Zuo, would you like one?" The mixed-race man smiled and handed him a cigarette.

Zuo Lingfeng's black eyes tightened, but he remained calm, accepted it with a smile, and the waiter helped him light it up. He took a breath, and felt sick in his heart, but his face was calm, and his thin lips slowly curled up. Complimented, "It tastes good!"

The mixed-race man smiled deeper, "This is our new product, it hasn't been released yet, and it's going to be launched in the North American market."

Zuo Lingfeng wanted to take advantage of the trend to inquire, but he was not in a hurry, but took another puff slowly, as if addicted, paused, and then asked again, "Is Mr. Edie's supply sufficient?"

"Of course, I never fight unprepared." The mixed-race man said confidently.

Zuo Lingfeng groaned secretly, what he wants is your preparation!

The mixed-race man in front of him, named Edie, is the boss of an international drug cartel. He is 42 years old and has Jewish blood. He is very cunning and has a very high IQ. He was an agent of a certain country in his early years. After that, he was wanted by the whole country, and then he fled to the Golden Triangle area. With his sharp skills and super-high mind, he quickly joined the local drug trafficking organization and became one of the core leaders, and then began his drug trafficking career , and the business is getting bigger and bigger, shipping from the Golden Triangle to the whole world, and in recent years, it has extended its tentacles to other fields, and has cooperated with several major arms dealers in the world, using the money earned from drug trafficking to resell arms. A single business is measured in hundreds of millions.

In recent years, Edie's actions have become more and more serious. Arms trafficking to the Middle East has seriously undermined world and regional peace. Interpol has tried many times to combat crimes, but all of them have failed. Strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, he has a strong sense of defense, he does not trust anyone, his drug cartel has a very strict hierarchy, like a pyramid, and he is undoubtedly the top of the pyramid, he does things very well. Be careful, every time you trade with someone, you will change the location, and only he knows the warehouse where the drugs are stored, so it is very difficult to catch them all.
