The official looked Huang Ming up and down and asked in Mandarin with the same local accent.
"You said you received a call to redeem someone? Then do you know which casino called you?"
"Which casino? I don't know. I just received a call and asked me to bring money here to redeem people. This big brother is the leader. In fact, you don't need to be so suspicious. I am just a person. There is no need to worry."
"We are not worried about you. What we are worried about is whether you brought the money."
"Brother is joking. I'm here to redeem someone. How dare I come if I don't bring money? But I have to confirm if my friend is here first? As long as he is here, I can send you the money right away."
"Call us? You mean someone brings cash?".
The official frowned.
"Brother, I have to pay 500,000 yuan. If all of it is converted into cash, what if there is an accident on the road? So for safety, I bring a card."
"Are you bringing a card? Cards are too troublesome. We only accept cash here. If you are bringing a card, you can only pay in the casino. But don't worry, as long as you pay, we will definitely let you go."
"Want to pay at the casino? Well, that's okay, but I still have to confirm if my friend is here. What if I make a mistake?"
Huang Ming continued to compile patiently. He had to confirm Lao Li's situation.
The official looked at Huang Ming carefully again and finally nodded.
"Okay, I can give you a look, but you'd better play tricks. Come on, let's meet someone in Ke."
Huang Ming then followed these people into the small courtyard.
This small courtyard is not big, and there is nothing in it. Except for a stone table in the middle, there is only a row of rows of seats that are only used in canteens under the two courtyard walls, and two other people are sitting on the chairs. A militant carrying an AK47.
"Bring out all the people in the house and let this brother have a look."
The official gave an order.
"yes".
An armed man sitting on a bench quickly ran to the second floor and opened several rooms.
After opening the door, the militant yelled.
"Come out, all of them, and stand in a row next to me."
So the people in the room came out one after another and stood in a row in the outer corridor on the second floor.
"Old Li, Old Li, is that you? If so, just answer me!".
Huang Ming shouted at a man in the crowd who had been beaten into a pig's head. This guy looked a lot like Lao Li.
"Nani? Why is it you? It's me, it's me, I'm Lao Li, throw me away, throw me away."
Lao Li's mouth had been swollen like a bun from the beatings, and he was leaking words. When he saw Huang Ming, tears flowed out.
The people next to him also began to get excited, crying and shouting, and suddenly they became a mess.
"Okay, you've seen the people, bring them all back to Ke".
The official waved his hand.
Those people upstairs, including Lao Li, were immediately rushed back to the room. One of them walked too slowly and was hit with the butt of his AK47 by the militant who went to open the door.
"Okay brother, the people upstairs are from three casinos, and your friend is from the Venetian Hotel. You can just pay the amount. As long as you pay, we will release them when we receive the call."
After the official finished speaking, he waved to Huang Ming, indicating that Huang Ming could leave.
Huang Ming hesitated for a moment. He wanted to use force directly, but suddenly he had an idea.
Since Lao Li was imprisoned because of his gambling debts, wouldn't he be rescued by going to the casino to win the money back? After all, once force is used, some things are difficult to explain to Lao Li.
Huang Ming made a decision.
"Okay, then I'll go to the casino to pay, but who should I go to the casino to find? And what should I say?"
"If you go to the casino and go to the lobby manager, just say you are here to bet on the big head. This is the code word of the casino. The big head is the human head. They will recognize it as soon as they hear it and will tell you what to do."
"Betting big money is to redeem the person? Well, OK, but I paid the money, will you really let him go?"
Huang Ming asked deliberately pretending to be suspicious.
He was afraid that his too calm performance would arouse the suspicion of these people. If these people moved people after he left, it would be troublesome.
"Brother, we are just a partnership with the casino. They pay us to guard them. As long as you pay the money, we will release them immediately. You don't have to worry about this. Our reputation is still very good."
"Okay, then I will go to the casino to pay now, and you are ready to let me go."
After Huang Ming finished speaking, he nodded to the official and left the courtyard.
Huang Ming did not go directly to the casino. After leaving the small courtyard, he stayed in the dark for a while, wanting to confirm whether what the middle-aged man said was true.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Huang Ming felt relieved when he saw that there was still no movement in the small courtyard.
It seemed that the official was not lying, and then he drove the flying magic weapon in a deserted place and flew towards the city center.
Dropping to the ground in a dark place in the city, Huang Ming took a motorcycle and arrived at the Venetian Hotel.
The Venetian Hotel here is said to be modeled after the Venetian Hotel in Macau. All decoration styles and business projects are the same as those in Macau.
Some people even say that this casino originally had a stake in the Venetian Macau Hotel. Of course, these are just rumors and have not been confirmed.
After entering the casino, Huang Ming did not go to the lobby manager. He went to the service desk and exchanged chips for a thousand yuan.
He had to win enough money before he could redeem someone. After all, the wool had to come from the sheep, so he couldn't pay for it himself.
After walking around the casino several times with the chips, Huang Ming didn't know what to play. He had never been in a casino.
Although I have watched the movie and have a certain understanding of the various casino games, I still feel a little guilty because I have never played before.
After wandering for a long time, Huang Ming came to a roulette table that he felt he could control.
He has seen this kind of gameplay in movies. There are many small boxes with numbers written on the roulette wheel. When the roulette wheel spins, the sieve inside will jump with it. After the roulette wheel stops, wherever the sieve stops, there will be the corresponding multiple. .
In order to save time, Huang Ming picked the largest multiple and bet. He couldn't change the cards at will like shown in the movie, but he could control the direction of the sieve with his spiritual thoughts, so he won with one bet.
After three or four games, Huang Ming's chips increased from one thousand to more than one hundred thousand.
He studded again and again, hitting the maximum multiplier. His move aroused the surprise of the gamblers at the same table, and many people had already followed him in betting.
"Wow, I won again. Brother, are you possessed by the God of Gamblers? How come you hit all the numbers?"
"Brother God of Gamblers, which bet should you make? Or should you bet on the maximum multiple? We'll bet with you."
The gamblers at this table were extremely excited and followed Huang Ming in placing bets.
However, their noise immediately attracted the attention of the casino security, and two dark and muscular men came behind Huang Ming.
