Chapter 163 - Appearance of trouble (2/2)
At that point, Xiao Luo came over and patted Zhang Dashan on his shoulders, “Why are you playing so big, are you treating my place like a casino?”
“Old Xiao, it’s just two thousand dollars. It’s not as if it’s some big egg, it’s just a small bet. I just felt like making small bets, you know? If you’re not playing, then don’t speak.” Zhang Dashan said abruptly, then he pushed Xiao Luo away.
Xiao Luo smiled, and as he walked away, he stepped close to Zhang Dashan’s cards. With a sleight of his feet, he swapped out Zhang Dashan’s cards unnoticed. His movements were clean and precise. Having carried out the deed, he then promptly walked away, holding on to his drink as if nothing had happened.
Feng Wuhen had to make a big decision, and he declared bravely, “Alright, f*ck it, I’m going to risk it! One thousand, I want to see whose cards are bigger!”
He flipped his own three cards over. d.a.m.n it, a pair of threes and the old K as the extra card. He frowned, looking exactly like an emoji.
“Hahaha, little guy, that’s what you get for crossing me. Here, let me show you what your brother’s big cards are.”
Zhang Dashan laughed endlessly. He picked up his cards from the floor and slammed them down with a forceful fling. “Seven, eight, nine; it’s a straight flush. It’s bigger than you imagined!”
On hearing Zhang Dashan declare his hand, Feng Wuhen and Xiao Wu, leaned back, feeling depressed as the thrill of the chase suddenly left them. Then glancing at the open cards, they burst out in laughter!
“Brother Zhang, what you have isn’t even a straight flush.”
“It’s a six-eight-nine. Why, even the colors are different. Your high card is only nine.”
Zhang Dashan, still in his victory pose, turned to glance at them in surprise. Then, he looked down.
What the… his cards really were six-eight-nine! The eight and nine cards were both hearts, while the six-card was a clubs. He stuttered, “This, this, this… what the h.e.l.l is going on, where’s my seven of hearts?”
Feng Wuhen, ignoring him completely, reached across for the money and grabbed it gleefully from the floor, “Hehe… Brother Zhang, I’m sorry, but all this money is mine!”
Xiaowu was really heartbroken, “If I had known earlier, he was scamming us. I wouldn’t have folded my cards. d.a.m.n it, giving up like this, I really feel like going to eat sh*t.”
“F*ck your sister, I really did have a seven-eight-nine straight flush. I couldn’t be wrong. You guys better hurry up, go to the toilet and eat your s.h.i.+t. I just p.o.o.ped, and it’s still piping hot.”
Aside from the dissatisfaction of losing that way, something else irked him, and he was utterly at a loss of how to explain it. In the end, he could only think of one possibility.
Frightened, he ran out to where Xiao Luo seated and said fearfully, “There’s a ghost here, Old Xiao! Your rented house definitely has a ghost. It even changed my cards. Let’s move out tomorrow; you have money now, so you don’t have to squeeze yourself in here any longer.”
Looking at his pale, frightened face, Xiao Luo couldn’t help but laugh.

Chu Yunxiong was walking beside Ge Zhongtian on the main road where their company office was located. They were breathing in the night air as they discussed all that had happened recently.
“Fang Changlei has been sentenced to jail for two years and eight months. Now that Luo’s Workshop is in a stable position, they will be the leading company in Jiangcheng’s baking industry,” Ge Zhongtian said.
With a tone of concern in his voice, Chu Yunxiong said: “This Fang Changlei has been unlucky, however, while he has fallen, there is still another foe standing in the way of Little Luo.”
“Boss Chu, are you talking about the Dragon Gang?” Ge Zhongtian asked, second-guessing his friend.
Chu Yunxiong nodded: “Even those hotels that were searched, they were Fang Changlei’s in name only. Their real owner is actually Long Sankui. In addition to that, 30% of Wei Lei actually belongs to Long Sankui. With Fang Changlei’s fall, it will have a direct impact on Long Sankui’s interests. Knowing how petty Long Sankui is, one would not expect him to do nothing.”
Ge Zhongtian exhaled deeply: “Yes, even if it has nothing to do with his interest, he would not let Xiao Luo go because Fang Changlei has helped him out of a predicament in his early years.”
Fang Changlei helped Long Sankui out?
Chu Yunxiong smiled and said: “Those are merely rumors. Fang Changlei is merely Long Sankui’s proxy. To put it another way, he is nothing more than Long Sankui’s puppet. Losing a puppet won’t hurt Long Sankui, but if his profits are threatened, he would not think twice taking action.”
“It appears that Xiao Luo is in big trouble again,” Ge Zhongtian said, expressing his sympathy for Xiao Luo.
“That might be true, but it’s hard to say who’s the one in big trouble, “Chu Yunxiong said, smiling.
