Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Infernal Labyrinth 11

Liuli glanced at the chips arranged by the dealer on the poker table, and at the chips in the hands of others. Special chips weren’t only in Lu Junsheng’s hands, but most people held uniformly styled chips.

Recalling the three contracts Zhou Yonghou found—Zhou Yonghou might not have had time to examine them closely, but Liuli had already investigated them with her spiritual sense—one was a panda bl00d type heart transplant agreement, one was data on recent and upcoming projects in Shunyi, and one was a stock transfer agreement from a well-known enterprise in inner L, XX Technology Company, transferring 20% of its shares for 1 yuan.

Especially the third contract, the value of money and goods was clearly disproportionate. Connecting this to tonight’s artwork auction and the unique chips in some people’s hands, these special chips must correspond to some auction rules she didn’t know.

Actually, guessing wouldn’t be far off. Each poker table corresponds to a specific contract, or perhaps, those with special chips have already confirmed what they want to bid on, and the pre-set chip amount represents the bidder’s minimum starting bid.

In the auction phase, the artwork is the carrier of the contract, publicly auctioned. Other bidders need to add to the original chip value. If no one bids, it directly belongs to the person who initially invested the most chips.

This transaction format uses the legal artwork auction as a cover. Those who don’t understand just think it’s an ordinary auction.

In reality, it’s a money laundering scheme, taking advantage of loopholes in gambling funds regulation, turning black money directly into chips that flow into the casino, and the chips are directly converted into legal artwork at the auction, then converted into ownership of the corresponding asset through the artwork’s transaction certificate.

Chip codes replace real identity information. If no one bids, not even those outside the casino will know who took the corresponding asset.

Lu Junsheng leaned close to An Jiayi and asked, “Do you know how to play Texas Hold’em? ”

Liuli shook her head. She had seen many types of Texas Hold’em, with vastly different rules, so she wasn’t sure what the rules were here; she had never played before.

Moreover, according to her guess, winning or losing didn’t matter; the important thing was to spend all the chips in hand.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just place chips as you like; the main thing is to have fun. These two boxes of chips are yours to spend. ”

Liuli looked at Lu Junsheng’s gentle expression, not worried at all that she would squander the two boxes of chips.

“Unaware” of the inside story, Liuli decided to watch a round first: “Lu Sheng, let me watch you play once first; otherwise, I’ll feel very uneasy without knowing anything. ”

“It’s nothing difficult. It’s a bit like the Wash Q good gamble BO; winning or losing is all in the banker’s hands. ”

Liuli was momentarily stunned. Had she been exposed? Impossible! “Why did Boss suddenly mention this? ”

“Nothing, it’s just a metaphor. ” Lu Junsheng did discover something, but it was unimportant. Teasing this young girl was quite fun.

Lu Junsheng put out special chips, but after winning, he received regular chips from the dealer—clearly for easier counting.

After watching Lu Junsheng play several times, winning and losing, Liuli roughly understood the rules and played a few rounds herself. Perhaps it was a beginner’s aura, but without cheating, Liuli won nine out of ten times.

Lu Junsheng also won a lot: “An An, you are my lucky goddess! ”

Liuli waved her hands repeatedly: “Maybe it’s because it’s my first time playing, so my luck is relatively good. ”

Although winning and losing are in the banker’s hands, for someone with Liuli’s strong fate, it’s a case of unstoppable luck.

But she couldn’t let Lu Junsheng notice this. Hong Kong Area businessmen especially believe in these things. Lu Junsheng already liked her; being treated as a koi would make it hard to extricate herself.

As dinner time approached, Lu Junsheng thought An Jiayi seemed more enthusiastic about food, so regardless of the outcome of the game, he directly went all-in with all his special chips.

It has to be said that with Liuli’s koi attribute, Lu Junsheng made a small profit this time.

In total, he earned several million.

Lu Junsheng asked Zhou Yonghou to take the regular chips the dealer’s assistant put in the box back to the room, then took An Jiayi to the restaurant to dine.

Liuli pretended to be curious and asked, “Lu Sheng, aren’t those chips going to be exchanged? ”

“If you’re interested, we can come back and play again tomorrow. We can exchange them before we get off the boat. You won a lot today, all thanks to An An. Excluding the principal, the rest is yours. ”

Liuli found it incredibly difficult to refuse, but suddenly having several million more in her account… how would the Police Force think about this? She still needed to maintain her undercover identity and contact Zhou Yonghou: “Lu Sheng, that’s not good. Lu Sheng is willing to take me to see the world, and I’m already very grateful; I absolutely cannot accept the money. ”

Lu Junsheng didn’t continue the topic: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat something delicious. The chef on this boat has reportedly won many awards, and the food should be very good. ”

Zhou Yonghou, following Lu Junsheng, was somewhat surprised. In his opinion, An Jiayi was currying favor with Lu Junsheng for money, but she refused a profit of several million. He increasingly couldn’t understand her thoughts.

No speaking while eating, especially in such a place where celebrities gather, Liuli’s etiquette was impeccable, and eating made people even more appetizing.

After dinner, after-dinner drinks were served, and Lu Junsheng smiled and asked, “Were you satisfied with the food? ”

Liuli and Lu Junsheng clinked glasses and took a small sip: “Very satisfied! It was really delicious! The small cake after dinner was also delicious! ”

Zhou Yonghou was sent away by Lu Junsheng again, but they were eating in the same restaurant, so he could naturally see the genuine smile on An Jiayi’s face at that moment.

So it wasn’t for the money, but for the delicious food? Should he practice his cooking skills? As a public official, he certainly wouldn’t have the money to take her to a feast, so he could only work hard to become a chef.

The amount of after-dinner drinks was small, and they finished quickly. Lu Junsheng took An Jiayi to the dance floor: “Do you know how to dance the tango? ”

“No. ”

“It’s okay, I’ll teach you. ” Lu Junsheng put one arm around An Jiayi’s waist and held her hand with the other, dancing with her in the dance hall to the music.

When the strings of 《Por Una Cabeza（A Breath Away）》 abruptly ended at the break, Lu Junsheng’s hand on An Jiayi’s waist tightened. When the cello’s wail swept over the dance floor again, they were pressed tightly together. Their shoes wrote a coded language on the floor, like measuring the Buenos Aires dusk with shadows.

Each turn tore at the aloeswood incense in the air. The curve of her skirt flaring out was like a rose yearbook blown open by the evening wind—those unspoken affections were now transformed into the slight tremor of the floor when their shoe tips met.
