Brother Zhu shook his head.

“I don’t know. To tell you the truth, at my level, I’m not even in touch with those big bosses. Let’s go, take the side door upstairs…”

We took the temporary elevator up.

As soon as I entered the casino,

I was slightly taken aback.

It can be said that the Sky Like gambling den is of high class.

It had just been renovated and opened after a lot of money was spent.

But the decor of this place was obviously even more upscale than Sky Like.

The glittering and splendid decoration.

The comfortable color scheme.

It made you feel high-end and comfortable as soon as you walked in.

In the middle was a circular bar.

The bar was large.

Stocked with all kinds of drinks and famous liquors.

Moreover, they also provided free hot milk and several kinds of refreshing beverages.

The girls in charge of the bar,

Each one was both beautiful and vivacious.

Around the perimeter, there were various card tables.

This place didn’t have an electronic gambling section.

It was all card tables and individual gaming spots.

Brother Zhu went to the bar and exchanged for forty thousand in chips.

He gave me twenty thousand, and we just casually strolled around the place.

We didn’t come today to gamble.

We were specifically scouting the place.

I didn’t believe that such an underground casino wouldn’t have any tricks up its sleeve.

I wanted to see how they operated.

To see if I could find any loopholes and make some money here.

While observing, I also felt a bit sentimental.

With the opening of the Sky Like, Zou Xiaoxian would definitely face more difficulties.

Because, apart from the more luxurious decor here,

I also saw several familiar faces who used to play at Sky Like.

But now, they were all gambling here, seemingly without a care in the world.

After watching for a while,

Brother Zhu and I found a Blackjack table and sat down.

Just watching wasn’t enough to find the tricks.

We had to get into the game ourselves.

I’ve already explained the rules of Blackjack before, so I won’t go into them again here.

The table we sat at had a betting limit of five hundred to fifty thousand.

I bet five hundred, Brother Zhu bet a thousand.

We just played casually like that.

And my eyes were constantly observing the casino dealer.

Now I could confirm that the dealer wasn’t cheating.

The shuffle was fine, the poker cards were fine.

I also pretended to accidentally touch the card shoe.

The card shoe was also normal.

But I still couldn’t be sure that this place was clean.

After all, this was different from finding a swindler at the card table.

There were many places around the dealer that I couldn’t see.

Like under the table, or the card table and the dealing machine.

These could all potentially have tricks involved.

After playing for a while, my luck was average.

Betting the minimum each time, I still lost four or five thousand.

Brother Zhu, on the other hand, was doing well.

In no time, he had won over ten thousand.

This round began.

I bet another five hundred.

Brother Zhu bet three thousand.

He had just placed his chips,

When a woman’s voice came from behind.

“Brother, you’re so lucky, can you take me along?”

Turning around,

I saw a woman in her late twenties, standing behind Brother Zhu with a faint smile on her face.

She was quite attractive, with a moderate figure, neither fat nor thin.

She was wearing a tight-fitting short skirt.

Her chest was large, the neckline was low, and the tight shirt seemed like it was about to burst.

She meant that she wouldn’t play herself, but would place her money on Brother Zhu’s bet.

This kind of situation was common in casinos.

The dealer was used to it and didn’t care at all.

Brother Zhu glanced at her chest and nodded slightly, asking:

“How much?”

“Just like you, three thousand. Together we bet six thousand, a lucky streak…”

Saying this,

She laughed first.

When she laughed, her chest also trembled up and down.

Brother Zhu seemed to have little resistance to this kind of woman.

His eyes were glued to her.

He even forgot to speak.

The dealer dealt the cards, I had 16 points.

I didn’t take a card.

Brother Zhu’s two cards totaled ten points.

He glanced at them and deliberately turned back to ask the busty woman.

“How should I play?”

This was a definite hit.

Brother Zhu was asking her if they should double down.

Doubling down would require them to bet another six thousand.

And after doubling down, they could only take one more card.

“Brother, I’ll follow your lead…”

The woman said with a flirtatious smile, coquettishly speaking to Brother Zhu.

“Alright, then let’s double down! The bigger the bet, the more we win…”

Saying that, the two of them each placed another three thousand. A total of twelve thousand in chips.

The dealer dealt Brother Zhu a face-down card.

Brother Zhu didn’t look.

Instead, he turned and called to the busty woman:

“Come on, girl. I won’t look at this card, you take a look…”

Everyone who gambles likes to see the cards.

Because the process of anticipation and the unknown is thrilling enough.

There was a gambling customer between Brother Zhu and me.

The woman had nowhere to sit.

So she simply bent over.

Her whole body leaned over the card table.

Her hands holding the poker cards, ready to look.

Her action, though indecorous,

Was something many men enjoyed.

Especially Brother Zhu, who deliberately didn’t offer his seat to the woman.

As the woman bent over,

Her entire chest was completely exposed to his gaze.

The woman also liked to slowly reveal the cards.

With each movement, her body pressed closer to Brother Zhu.

Brother Zhu seemed to enjoy the whole process.

His eyes were fixed on places they shouldn’t be.

He even said:

“We’re sure to win this hand, take your time, no rush…”

The woman was very cooperative.

She took her time revealing the cards.

Finally, she showed the card.

A two of clubs.

12 points.

Almost the smallest card in a nearly perfect 21 points.

The woman pouted her pink lips.

One hand resting on Brother Zhu’s shoulder, she spoke with a mix of grievance and coquettishness:

“Brother, it’s all my fault. I didn’t look carefully. 12 points, I made you lose money!”

Brother Zhu chuckled.

He patted the hand on his shoulder.

“There’s no such thing as always winning. Besides, we haven’t lost yet. What if the banker busts…”

The two of them flirted with each other like that.

I sat quietly on the side, watching.

But in my heart, I was suspicious.

Could this woman be a shill for the casino?

The so-called shill.

Refers to various women brought in by some underground casinos.

These women, pretending to be gamblers,

Flirt with male gamblers.

The purpose is to lure these men into gambling.

Simply put, it’s another form of “plant”.

It was the banker’s turn.

The dealer’s face-up card was an eight.

He flipped the face-down card, it was a six.

14 points.

The dealer had to draw another card.

“Bust, bust, bust!”

As soon as the dealer moved the card,

The gamblers at the table started shouting.

The woman was even leaning on Brother Zhu’s shoulder, shouting loudly with them.

Then I saw the dealer pull the third card from the shoe.

He flipped it directly.

A king.

24 points.

The banker busts, everyone wins.

Brother Zhu and the woman were both excited.

They high-fived to celebrate.

Each won six thousand.

But at the moment of their high-five,

I was suddenly startled.

The woman’s palms were slender, and her skin was soft and white.

But on the pads of her five fingers, there were faint scratches.

The marks weren’t very clear.

Obviously, they had been treated and cared for.

But these marks,

I could see them clearly at a glance.

She was a swindler.

Only the hands of a swindler would have so many marks in that position.

These were the marks left by years of practicing with poker cards.

I used to have them on my hands too.

It was Master Liu who used a specially formulated ointment.

Applied every day.

That’s why they weren’t visible.

Looking at this woman, I was puzzled.

A swindler.

Why suddenly target Brother Zhu?

What was her purpose?

Or was it just a coincidence?
