However, the gambling magnate in City M was much more powerful than the gambling magnate in HK. He Hongjie also had a much higher status than He Hongjie, but they didn't interfere in each other's business.
They didn't have a good relationship with each other, nor did they hate each other.
Generally speaking, when there was a huge gap between two people, it was difficult for them to become enemies, because the weaker party wasn't a threat to the stronger party. At the same time, the weaker party was afraid of the stronger party, so they didn't dare to provoke the stronger party.
Of course, it all depended on the person. It depended on whether the person was ambitious or smart.
Some people were blinded by their ambition, and they still did it even though they knew they couldn't.
Because today was not only the anniversary of the He family's casino, but also the fight for the position of the He brothers' leader, many people came to the He family's casino today, from rich and powerful tycoons to people from all walks of life.
When Gu Ning and the others arrived at the He family's gambling den, it was already 1 pm. The game wouldn't start until 2 pm, so He Siyin guided Gu Ning and the others to have a rest in the lounge because they still needed to talk about something.
They walked through the exclusive passage of the He family, so they avoided other people.
When they were in the lounge, He Siyin poured tea for them, then said to Gu Ning, "There are three ways to play the game this time. The first one is dice, which is fixed. As for the other two, each of you will propose one, so the other party will propose the one that he or she is most confident in. You can propose the one that you're most confident in. We'll have 10 rounds for each game. The winner won't be decided by the number of rounds, but by the amount of money you win. As for the chips, both parties need to reach an agreement. As for the chips, if you pay for them yourself, the money you win will be yours. If you need the He family's help, the money you win will belong to the He family. It's up to you. "
"I'll pay for them myself."
Gu Ning didn't hesitate at all, because she was confident that she could win money. Since she was confident that she could win, why not win for herself?
He Siyin didn't mind it at all, and thought it was better.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Gu Ning, but she didn't know Gu Ning well. She thought that Gu Ning would feel bad if she lost, so she would try her best.
As for choosing a game, Gu Ning didn't know much about gambling. If it was dice, she was confident that she wouldn't lose. Then there was another game. Gu Ning's first thought was the slot machine. Besides dice, the slot machine was the game she was most confident in.
So he asked, "Is a slot machine okay?"
Hearing that, He Siyin couldn't help but twitch her mouth. It wasn't impossible, but she felt that the slot machine was too immature. It was like a child playing house.
"Sure," He Siyin said.
He Siyin answered a call at 1: 30 pm, then left. Two minutes later, she came back with He Hongjie.
He Siyin introduced them to each other.
He Siyin told He Hongjie that the opponent was a young girl named Gu Ning who was around 18 years old. However, the opponent this time was a mature woman named "Tang Aining" who was around 20 years old. Therefore, He Siyin told He Hongjie that they were the same person, but she disguised herself in order to avoid unnecessary trouble if her real identity was exposed.
He Hongjie understood it, because it was indeed a dangerous task after all. If she won today, it would indeed cause trouble and danger.
Although He Hongjie still had doubts about Gu Ning, even though he knew that she was very good at dice, he still doubted her because he didn't know her well.
However, even though he still had doubts about her, he had to choose her now.
It was only 20 minutes away from 2 pm, and He Hongyuan arrived. There were around 20 bodyguards around him to clear the way for him. He Hongyuan walked in the front, followed by a man around 30 years old, then He Yixi, and there were several people behind them.
Not many people were aware that this competition was actually a conspiracy. Those who were aware of it felt displeased, while those who weren't aware of it didn't feel anything at all.
"Isn't the man behind Master He Hongyuan Fan Zhihao?"
"Yes, it is!"
Fan Zhihao was the second apprentice of the gambling magnate of City M, but he had betrayed his master three years ago, so he was expelled from the gambling magnate.
Although Fan Zhihao wasn't a good person, his gambling skills were very good, and he was the best gambler in City M who had inherited his skills.
"Did Master He Hongyuan invite Fan Zhihao this time?"
"It's obvious. Otherwise, why would he come here?"
"It seems that the gambling magnate is in danger this time."
"I agree. I heard that the gambling magnate has a hearing problem. "
"I don't think so. Since Master He Hongyuan invited Fan Zhihao, the gambling magnate will do the same."
"You're right."
"…"
He Hongjie and He Hongyuan didn't play the game in person this time, because He Hongjie had a hearing problem, while He Hongyuan was good at gambling, but he didn't want to make any mistakes. Therefore, Gu Ning would play the game for He Hongjie this time, while Fan Zhihao would play the game for He Hongyuan this time.
However, Gu Ning hadn't played the game for He Hongjie yet, so no one knew who would play the game for him.
He Hongyuan, however, believed that He Hongjie would play the game in person, because he had a spy by He Hongjie's side.
What he didn't know was that his spy had already been exposed, so He Hongjie didn't tell him that they had invited Fan Zhihao. Instead, in order to confuse them, He Hongjie told them that he would play the game himself.
He Hongyuan and the others went to the gambling table in the center of the hall, and sat on the right side. Fan Zhihao sat in the middle, while He Hongyuan and He Yixi sat on both sides.
This gambling table was prepared for their competition.
"Where is He Hongjie? Why isn't he here yet? " He Hongyuan didn't see He Hongjie, so he asked loudly in a mocking tone, as if He Hongjie was afraid of him.
"Master He, you're too impatient. It's not even two o 'clock yet! "At this time, a man in his early thirties came over and said with a bit of sarcasm.
He was the eldest son of the He family, He Yishao.
He Yishao wasn't nervous or worried about the game at all, not because he had good self-control, but because his father had just told him that they had invited a master to play dice with them, and that the master would never miss a shot.
Although he wasn't sure that he could win the game, it was still better than him playing the game himself. Even if He Hongyuan was still alive, he might not be able to win the game.
He Hongyuan was He Yishao's uncle, but He Yishao called He Hongyuan Master He after the argument between the two families.
"It's not about impatience, but about manners," He Hongyuan retorted. He Hongyuan argued. He was indeed impatient, because he would be the heir of the He family after the competition.
