However, thinking about Liang Yida spending one million just to get rid of Hei Biao, it was clear that their relationship had deteriorated to the point of being irreconcilable!
"Little Brother Ling, I dare say your gambling skills are the best I've ever seen! If you are willing to help me, there will definitely be success!"
Liang Yida recounted the entire situation and then looked at Ling Zhenfei with eyes full of expectation.
His cooperation with Hei Biao had long been just in name; a fallout was inevitable sooner or later.
Although Hei Biao could still allocate millions each year, the income Liang Yida received was negligible compared to Hei Biao's earnings.
Liang Yida was not willing to settle. He had to spare no effort to escape this situation where he invested everything but was controlled by Hei Biao.
"Alright, I'll give it a try."
Although Ling Zhenfei had no interest in gambling and no fondness for gamblers, he agreed due to the high remuneration Liang Yida offered.
He was currently in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Even though he had about two hundred thousand on hand, it was far from enough. If he could get the one million from Liang Yida, he wouldn't have to worry about funding.
"Thank you so much, Little Brother Ling. I knew you could do it!" Seeing Ling Zhenfei finally agree, Liang Yida was overjoyed.
Thus, the two scheduled the specifics for a week later.
Although aware of Ling Zhenfei's extraordinary gambling skills, Liang Yida gave him a brief overview of the main card games played in the casino to increase their chances of winning.
Among all the card games, "Three Public" was commonly played in casinos and had the highest stakes.
The specific gameplay of Three Public was: using a deck without jokers, eight players at the table, three cards each, JQK counted as "public," and the winner was determined by comparing the total points of the three cards between the banker and the players.
Due to the popularity of this game, it had numerous rules.
Typically, the banker shuffled the cards first, then the player next to the banker shuffled them again before returning them to the banker for a cut. Each player then drew cards themselves instead of having them dealt by the croupier.
There were strict rules about drawing cards, which could only be done with one finger and had to be placed on the table without being touched. Viewing the cards also had to be done on the table.
Due to the numerous rules, only those with lightning-fast cheating techniques could succeed in cheating. Previous cheaters hired by Liang Yida were caught during the card-stealing or card-switching process!
"Boss Liang, I've noted everything you've said. Please leave me a deck of casino cards; I need to study them."
After listening to Liang Yida's explanation, Ling Zhenfei felt relatively confident.
With his ability to see through cards, he wasn't worried about not being able to read the opponent's cards.
However, he knew that the cards used in large casinos differed from regular poker, so he needed to familiarize himself with them to cheat successfully.
Liang Yida was prepared. After giving a deck of cards to Ling Zhenfei, he thanked him profusely.
Ling Zhenfei didn't want to say much; he took the cards and left.
As he watched Ling Zhenfei leave, Liang Yida's expression was complicated.
A subordinate next to him seemed to have seen through his thoughts and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, this kid is so young and arrogant. Can he really..."
"Shut up!" His subordinate's words were cut off by Liang Yida's cold and stern reply, "Are you doubting my judgment? Ling Zhenfei may be young, but I believe he can do it!"
...
Agreeing to cheat for Liang Yida was something a week away, so Ling Zhenfei set it aside for now.
After returning from town, he didn't go home directly but visited He Lingxiu. He handed her the IOU, gave her some advice, and then headed home.
In the past few days, not only had Ling Zhenfei easily earned hundreds of thousands, but he had also helped He Lingxiu clear her debts. However, his sister-in-law Zhou Yun was unaware of this. When Ling Zhenfei returned home, he saw Zhou Yun sitting in the courtyard, looking worried and deep in thought.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhou Yun seemed so engrossed she didn't notice when Ling Zhenfei pushed open the courtyard door. It wasn't until he called out to her that she snapped out of it.
"Oh, Zhenfei, you're back... I'll go cook for you..." Seeing Ling Zhenfei return, Zhou Yun snapped out of it and got up to cook for him.
"Sister-in-law, I've already eaten in town!" It was already past mealtime, and Ling Zhenfei didn't want to trouble Zhou Yun, so he stopped her.
"Oh, you've eaten already..."
Actually, Zhou Yun had already eaten. Seeing Ling Zhenfei running around these past few days, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Zhenfei, how's Axiu's family situation... handled?"
Zhou Yun was aware of He Lingxiu's situation. Although she wanted to help, she was limited by her own tight financial situation.
"It's all settled!"
Ling Zhenfei tried to downplay it as much as possible. As if worried his sister-in-law would probe further, he quickly changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, what were you thinking about just now? You seemed deep in thought!"
Sure enough, Zhou Yun's attention was diverted by the change of topic.
Zhou Yun looked at Ling Zhenfei meaningfully, sighed, and said, "Zhenfei, you're still young. Not working is not an option... I was thinking of asking my cousin to help you find a job in the city..."
"Sister-in-law, I already said I don't want to work in the city!"
Hearing that his sister-in-law was worrying about him, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ling Zhenfei wasn't a stickler. There were many professions, and excellence could be achieved in any of them. The farming industry he was about to venture into was a good start.
Although he had just planted the vegetables the day before, Ling Zhenfei was confident they would yield a good income.
As for gambling and cheating, although it was a quicker path to money, it was not a righteous one. It was acceptable as a form of entertainment, but making it a career would lead to ruin.
"Zhenfei, stop talking nonsense. How can you not work? Are you really planning to farm? How can I face your deceased brother then?"
Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Zhou Yun scolded and then muttered to herself, "That's settled then. I'll go to the city and talk to my cousin in person!"
"Sister-in-law, don't persuade me anymore. Farming is great. I can take care of the family and earn money at the same time; it's a win-win!"
No matter what his sister-in-law said, Ling Zhenfei remained firm.
Now, with the inheritance of The Ultimate Medicine God, he could excel in any field easily, so there was no need for his sister-in-law to worry.
