Zuo Lingfeng's tactful refusal made the mixed-race man opposite him a little unhappy, but he still nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's play again?"
Zuo Lingfeng smiled lightly and said nothing. He was handsome in a black suit, white shirt, black hair and black eyes. He opened the lockbox calmly, took out a gold bar, and placed a bet of 1 million US dollars, the same as before.
The mixed-race man suddenly laughed, as if he was too young. Zuo Lingfeng's expression did not change, but his heart thumped. He felt that the situation was not good, and it seemed that the other party had no patience. Indeed, after several days of delay, even he had already
He could no longer deal with it any longer, so he had no other choice but to deliberately lose money every day. But the person he was waiting for hadn't come yet, so he couldn't act alone.
"Mr. Zuo, we have been playing like this for several days, and there is nothing new. Why don't we play a little bigger today?" the mixed-race man suggested.
Zuo Lingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you want to play, Mr. Edi?"
The mixed-race man did not answer immediately, but picked up the cigarette case, smoked a cigarette, and held it in his mouth. The Latin beauty beside him immediately picked up a lighter and lit it for him. The mixed-race man took a slight puff, and then the white smoke slowly
After spitting it out, Zuo Lingfeng held his breath slightly, but he still smelled that special smell, which was the smell of drugs.
"Mr. Zuo, want one?" the mixed-race man smiled and handed him a cigarette.
Zuo Lingfeng's dark eyes tightened, but he remained calm. He smiled and took it, and the waiter helped him light it. He took a gentle breath and felt sick in his heart. However, his face was calm, and his thin lips were raised slowly,
He praised, "It tastes good!"
The mixed-race man's smile deepened, "This is our new product. It has not been launched yet. We are planning to introduce it to the North American market."
Zuo Lingfeng wanted to inquire further, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he took another slow puff, as if he was addicted. He paused before speaking again, "Does Mr. Edie have enough supplies?"
"Of course, I never fight an unprepared battle." The mixed-race man said confidently.
Zuo Lingfeng muttered secretly, what I want is your preparation!
The mixed-race man in front of him is called Edie. He is the boss of an international drug cartel. He is 42 years old. He is of Jewish descent. He is very cunning and has a very high IQ. He was an agent of a certain country in his early years. He fell out with the country he served during a mission.
After that, he was wanted by the whole country, and then he fled to the Golden Triangle area. With his sharp skills and superb mind, he quickly joined the local drug trafficking organization and became one of the core leaders, and then began his drug trafficking career.
, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, shipping from the Golden Triangle and selling it all over the world. In recent years, it has extended its tentacles to other fields. It has cooperated with several major arms dealers in the world, using the money earned from drug trafficking to resell arms.
A single business is measured in hundreds of millions.
In recent years, Idi's actions have become increasingly large, including arms trafficking to the Middle East, seriously undermining world and regional peace. Interpol has tried to crack down on crime many times, but all failed. Idi is an agent, so he has the ability to
He has strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities. He has a strong sense of defense and does not trust anyone. There is a very strict hierarchy within his drug trafficking group, like a pyramid, and he is undoubtedly the top of the pyramid. He does things very well.
Be careful, the location will change every time you trade with someone, and only he knows the warehouse where the drugs are stored, so it is very difficult to catch them all.
In addition, his drug trafficking group is also related to the government of a certain country. The huge chain of interests behind this is unimaginable, so he has a backer to a certain extent. It is even more difficult to bring down this criminal group.
More difficult.
In that operation three years ago, he, Lou Xi and others almost succeeded, but in the end they still fell short and five people were sacrificed. However, after Idi's drug cartel suffered a heavy blow that time, it only used a few...
It took a year for them to rise again, and they were stronger than before, but they also took care of it. They no longer simply made money from drug trafficking and reselling arms, but used the dirty money to do serious business, but everything was just to hide their eyes.
, just to launder money.
But this time, he invested 5 billion to develop emerald deposits in Colombia just to lure him into taking the bait. Colombia’s emerald deposits rank first in the world. When people mention precious stones, they often blurt out “diamonds”, but in fact, once
The price of high-quality emeralds with the same grain size is much higher than that of diamonds. Emeralds are not only the most beautiful gems, but also the most valuable. The output of high-quality emeralds is far lower than the output of diamonds or red and sapphires of the same quality.
, you must know that only one out of every 1 million beryl minerals is an emerald. It is rare and precious. An emerald that can reach more than 1 carat or even more than 2 carats will be very precious and the price will be high.
It's amazing, so Edie has already set his sights on this piece of fat, so he is very willing to cooperate with him to achieve the purpose of money laundering.
Of course, Edie would not believe him so easily. Edie already knew his origin, so he did not hide it and simply told the truth. He said that he was once a special soldier, but he was expelled from the army because he failed in the mission.
Later, he turned to business. This experience was similar to Edie's early experience. Edie is a person with high IQ and EQ, and his character is naturally unruly. Therefore, he has a feeling of sympathy for his experience, so we cooperate.
His thoughts became even greater.
However, what he wants is cooperation. What he wants is the storage place of Edie's drugs, and he also wants to trade with him on the spot. When both the people and the people get the stolen goods, Edie's criminal group will no longer have nowhere to escape.
The government behind it can no longer interfere. Only in this way can the drug trafficking group be truly wiped out, and his dead comrades can truly rest in peace!
At the moment, Edie is very interested in cooperating with him. After repeated negotiations, they have basically reached an agreement. He invests in mining emerald deposits, and Edie gives him drugs, but before the transaction, he has to see the goods and master the warehouse.
The specific location, and then notified the people from the special brigade to come and wipe out the drug cartel in one fell swoop, but after waiting for several days, they have not come yet, and the cunning Edie seems to have lost patience and has doubts about his delaying tactics.
It seems like it can't go on any longer.
Zuo Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding his deep thoughts, remaining unchanged in response to all changes, and waiting for Edie's next words.
As expected, the mixed-race man pressed forward step by step. He narrowed his blue eyes and looked at Zuo Lingfeng. He blew out a smoke ring and said, "Let's play bigger. The outcome will be decided in one round. If I win, I want you to stay."
All the gold bars, and then we go to see the goods; if you win, I will play with Mr. Zuo for another day, and we will discuss business tomorrow."
Zuo Lingfeng remained calm, but knew in his heart that Yi Di had given him a deadline. He could wait until tomorrow at most. If he didn't make a deal, he would leave directly. So in this bet, he
He must win, only in this way can he delay for another day, but in this case, he will anger Edie. They are playing a big game. No businessman wants to lose money before the transaction, but he cannot lose. If he loses, his gold bars
If it is gone, then the lockbox cannot be taken away, and the gun inside cannot be obtained. This is really a difficult choice.
After thinking for a moment, Zuo Lingfeng made a decision in his heart, he wanted to win!
Even if this will cause Edie to lose money and keep delaying his transaction, this will probably anger him. He must have a gun on him. He may pull out the gun and kill himself in the next second, but he has no other choice.
He has been waiting for three years. In these three years, he has learned nothing else but waiting. This time he can only succeed and not fail. Before the people from the special brigade arrive, he cannot take any rash actions, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.
Now I just hope that they can come soon, there is only one day left!
"Okay!" Zuo Lingfeng promised, gently pushed the password box forward, and pressed it all down.
The other two people at the gaming table left their seats and stood aside, leaving Edie and him alone at the gaming table.
The mixed-race man also put all his chips on the line.
The waiter counted the two people's chips, shuffled the cards, and then dealt the cards.
The first card of both sides was not revealed, each was pressed under his own palm.
Zuo Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the person opposite him inadvertently. There was a hint of playfulness in the corner of the mixed-race man's mouth, looking calm and confident.
Zuo Lingfeng's expression remained unchanged and he continued to wait for the second card. The mixed-race man's card was the 10 of spades, while his was the 2 of spades, so he was obviously at a disadvantage.
The mixed-race man narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he was not carried away, he took a puff of the cigarette and relaxed his posture slightly.
Zuo Lingfeng smiled lightly and said nothing, lowering his eyes slightly. The hair on his forehead slightly blocked his eyes, covering up all his thoughts. No one knew what he was thinking.
The waiter began to deal the third card.
The mixed-race man has a jack of spades, and he has a 3 of spades. In this way, the cards on the table for the two of them are somewhat similar. The mixed-race man has 10 and j, while Zuo Lingfeng has 2 and 3, both of which are spades.
, there may be a flush, so it is temporarily tied, but because Zuo Lingfeng's card is relatively small, he is still at a disadvantage.
The mixed-race man took another puff of cigarette, seemingly determined that he would win.
Zuo Lingfeng pursed his lips lightly, without much change in expression. He pressed the first card that had never been turned over with one hand, and gently stroked the edge of the table with the other hand, continuing to wait for the fourth card.
The waiter dealt the fourth card again. This time the mixed-race man had a q of spades. So, he already had 10, j, and q in his hand, and Zuo Lingfeng's card was still a spade, except that
It is 4, so the three cards are 2, 3, and 4 in sequence, and they are also connected.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone watching the gambling game looked a little nervous, but the mixed-race man still smiled casually, as if he was sure of winning.
Zuo Lingfeng stared slightly, his disadvantage becoming more and more obvious.
The waiter is about to deal the fifth card, which is also the last one. The waiter is very experienced and knows that this card is very important, so he has to ask both parties to confirm that it is correct before dealing the card.
The mixed-race man ordered a glass of red wine, while Zuo Lingfeng ordered a glass of water.
Both of them held the cups, shook them slightly, then raised them high, touched them lightly in the air, and drank with their eyes closed.
Both of them smiled, as if there was some kind of tacit understanding. Such a card was certainly abnormal and must have been manipulated. It was impossible to guard against the possibility of a crook in the casino, but without evidence, no one could say anything.
The waiter began to deal the last card. The mixed-race man's card was a spade K, while Zuo Lingfeng's card was a spades 5. In this way, the two men were spades 10, j, q, k and spades 2, 3, 4 respectively.
,5.
All are just one step away from a flush!
Now let’s see what the first hole card of the two people is. According to the current situation, if the mixed-race man’s hole card is the ace of spades, then he not only wins, but wins beautifully, and ends the round with the biggest flush.
As for Zuo Lingfeng, if he wants to get a straight flush, he must have an ace or a 6, but no matter which one it is, it is smaller than the opponent's, so he will definitely lose.
It's just...he can't lose!
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he slowly pushed the card under his palm.
The mixed-race man also made the same move as him and was about to reveal his trump card.
The atmosphere was very tense. Everyone in the room was breathing tensely. Zuo Lingfeng was also very nervous, and even nervously knocked over the water glass at hand. Of course, he did it on purpose.
The waiter wiped it quickly, and Zuo Lingfeng said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
While apologizing, he helped push the remaining cards away from the water stains. During the movement, he accidentally or unintentionally opened a card, the 9 of spades.
The mixed-race man's eyes moved, but he didn't speak. The nine of spades was not very important to him, because his hole card was the ace of spades!
However, the casino has casino rules. Neither party is allowed to reveal the hole cards before the card dealer calls someone, otherwise it will be invalid.
The waiter wiped the table and looked at Zuo Lingfeng politely, "Mr. Zuo..."
It meant that he still had any problems, but Zuo Lingfeng deliberately misunderstood and thought it was the waiter asking him to reveal the cards, so he flipped his finger and directly revealed the hole card in his hand, an ace of spades!
The mixed-race man's face suddenly changed. He also had an ace of spades in his hand, but there couldn't be two aces of spades in a deck of playing cards, so he couldn't take it out again, and the four cards on the table were 10s of spades.
j, q, k, if there is another 9 of spades, it will be a flush, and it is bigger than Zuo Lingfeng's, but the 9 of spades has just been exposed, and it is impossible for him to get another 9 of spades!
A smile flashed across Zuo Lingfeng's handsome face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. They were both cheating, it just depended on who could pull it off faster. Edie was a veteran, so he could only take advantage of others.
The waiter announced the result, "Mr. Zuo wins in this sentence!"
As he said that, he pushed all of Edie's chips to Zuo Lingfeng.
The mixed-race man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zuo Lingfeng with sharp eyes, and said meaningfully, "Mr. Zuo is in good luck today, good luck!"
Zuo Lingfeng shook his head lightly, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said modestly, "It's just a fluke."
The mixed-race man smiled slightly, but that smile was dangerous. He had plenty of money, and if he lost, he would lose, but his time was precious. If Zuo Lingfeng kept dawdling like this, he would really be rude!
Zuo Lingfeng also knew that he was about to touch the other party's bottom line, so he said skillfully, "Mr. Edi, let's go directly to see the goods tomorrow morning. I'll wait for you at the hotel. You can arrange the car."
The mixed-race man took a puff of his cigarette and asked him to arrange the car. Then Zuo Lingfeng lost the initiative. From this point of view, he was relatively sincere.
"It's a deal!" The mixed-race man stood up and left without even holding his hand.
Zuo Lingfeng smiled lightly and looked calm, but he was worried in his heart. What would he do if the people from the special brigade didn't come tomorrow morning? He only had one man and two guns, so he would probably die without a burial.
Earth, right? He would not regret his death, but what about the mission? He had been lurking for three years, just waiting for this day.
◎◎◎
As night fell, ten tall warriors arrived in Colombia without anyone noticing, fully armed with guns and ammunition, and ready to go.
"Brothers, I don't need to say more about this mission, everyone is very clear about it!" Lou Xi's eyes were firm and his voice was deliberately lowered, but he was still so decisive, "We can only succeed and cannot fail!"
"Understood!" The other nine people said in unison. They have been waiting for this moment for too long!
Lou Xi made a gesture and set off!
They entered an abandoned warehouse in the wilderness. The two of them went in first. After confirming that everything was safe, six people followed, and two more stood behind to serve as guards.
The six people who entered the warehouse quickly took off their backpacks, took out special communication equipment, and quickly tapped the keyboard with their fingers. Some were responsible for sending out signals that they had arrived, while others were responsible for obtaining data from remote sensing satellites. They acted in a well-organized manner and performed their duties.
Lou Xi was responsible for contacting their response personnel, or he was an undercover agent. He did not know the existence of such a person until the moment before departure. This person was directly led by the commander of the military region, and no one else knew about it. His identity was very
It was mysterious. The commander told him that this person's name was Ling Shaotang, a name he had never heard of before, but he vaguely felt something was wrong. The name reminded him of a person - Zuo Lingfeng.
