I have heard too many stories like Yang Ximing’s about paying a heavy price for gambling.
So much so that now, I feel a little numb.
Just like in the book, I risk being criticized by you again and again for my word count.
The long-winded saying is that there are ten gambles and ten cheats. If you don’t gamble, you will win; winning is the process, and losing is the result.
But there are still some people who are eager to try it with speculative thoughts.
Little do you know, your life may be completely ruined just because of your speculation.
Therefore, readers are requested not to take any chances and do not say that they were unpredicted.
"Then haven't you tried to persuade her?"
I asked.
Yang Ximing smoked his pipe and shook his head slowly.
"I have said it many times, but to no avail. In the past few years, she has gambled on everything from Haojiang to the clouds, Malaysia's Genting, Korea's Walkerhill, Britain's Birmingham, and the United States' Las Vegas.
Later, due to visa issues, she simply played in black venues in the mainland. Over the years, she lost no less than eight figures. Later, when her finances were stretched, she began to wander around in various casinos. She also lost a lot. The most important thing now is
The thing is, she has several priceless calligraphy and paintings in her hands. She now wants to sell these things..."
I listened and couldn't help but nodded.
When I was in Jinmen, I once met a gambler who was selling antiques.
Unexpectedly, when I returned to Kanto, I would meet such a person again.
"Then I don't know how Mr. Yang wants me to save her?"
I am very polite to Yang Ximing.
The first is respect for such knowledgeable scholars.
What’s more, he is a friend introduced by Aunt Qu after all.
Yang Ximing turned to look at me and said sincerely:
"I wonder if Mr. Chu can think of a way to win the calligraphy and painting in her hand for her. When she fully wakes up, I will return the original thing. It will not be in vain for the two of us..."
This method is not impossible.
But what I find strange is that Yang Ximing’s ex-wife is just an ordinary knowledgeable gambler.
For this kind of thing, just find two crooks to make a deal.
Why go through such a big detour to find Aunt Qu first and then me?
Yang Ximing also saw my doubts, and he immediately said:
"Mr. Chu, this matter may not be as simple as I said. First, Zheng Xia is my ex-wife, and she will not take action easily unless absolutely necessary. Second, and most importantly, I heard that Fengtian
The Bai family and the Qin family are also eyeing these things of hers. Therefore, it is not that easy to get them. It is precisely because of this that Sister Qu recommended you to me..."
As soon as Yang Ximing spoke, I fell silent.
Unexpectedly, the Bai family and the Qin family were also eyeing each other.
It seems that this matter is indeed somewhat troublesome.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Yang Ximing said again:
"Mr. Chu, I don't understand your thousands of rules. But I know one thing, there is no free business in this world. Please don't be polite and just ask for the price. As long as it is within my ability, I will never
Counteroffer!"
Yang Ximing is very sincere.
I also believe that with his strength, he can indeed spend a lot of money.
After thinking for a moment, I stretched out a finger.
He gestured towards Yang Ximing.
Yang Ximing looked at me and asked doubtfully:
"Mr. Chu, do you mean one million or ten million?"
I smiled lightly and explained:
"It's not a hundred, nor a thousand. When my master taught me Qian Shu, he once told me something. Thousands of doors and thousands of games, no profit can be afforded. No matter who the sponsor is, the reward must be set. Yang
Mr. Qu is a friend of Aunt Qu. If I open my mouth like a lion, it would seem that I am not kind enough. But the rules of thousands of families cannot be broken. Therefore, I took the liberty to accept Mr. Yang as a reward for a book. As for what book, Mr. Yang
random……"
Yang Ximing was stunned at first.
Then, he laughed.
Looking at me, he joked:
"Mr. Chu traveled to thousands of places, but took books as reward. Aren't you afraid that this is a bad omen?"
I shook my head.
"The so-called omen is just a psychological suggestion. The real Thousand Hands only believe in strength and do not believe in omens!"
"well said!"
Yang Ximing stood up, picked a book from the bookshelf, and put it in front of me.
I saw five big words written on the cover, "Gambler's Game Theory".
What makes me most curious is that the author’s name is Yang Ximing.
"Is this Mr. Yang's masterpiece?"
Yang Ximing smiled bitterly and said helplessly:
"After my ex-wife was deeply involved in gambling, I began to study gambling from a scientific perspective. Based on my superficial understanding, I wrote this book. I wanted to give her some enlightenment, but I didn't expect that she didn't even read it...
…”
Saying that, Yang Ximing shook his head.
The two of us chatted a few more words.
Yang Ximing told me that her ex-wife Zheng Xia was not in Fengtian, but in Luda.
The reason why Yang Ximing knows so much about his ex-wife is because of Zhong Xia's niece Zhong Rui.
Yang Ximing told me that when I arrived at Luda, I should contact Zhong Rui first.
She will tell me how to approach Zheng Xia next.
Yang Ximing personally escorted me to the door.
When I was about to get in the car, he suddenly asked me:
"Mr. Chu, have you ever heard of the Mingmen Gate?"
I was slightly startled. Of course I knew about the Suoming Sect, one of the eight outer sects, also known as the Killing Sect.
The outer eight gates are divided into the Pirate Gate, the Thousand Gate, the Gu Gate, the Machine Gate (also called the Pin Gate), the Orchid Gate (also called the Red Flower Gate, the Prostitute Gate, and the Feng Gate), and the Shendiao Gate (also called the Shendiao Gate).
It is called the Witch Gate), the Red Handkerchief Gate (also called the Theater Gate), and the Suo Ming Gate (also called the Killing Gate).
The Mingshou Gate is also the most mysterious and bloody one among the eight outer gates.
It is said that the founders of Suomingmen were Zhuanxu and Yaoli.
Later, it was Jing Ke who made Suomingmen famous all over the world.
To this day, the Gate of Life is still there.
It's just that these people no longer walk in the world.
And specialize in serving certain organizations and institutions.
It is said that around 2000, there was an assassination incident that shocked the world.
It came from the hands of Suomingmen.
Of course, this is just a rumor.
The three words Suomingmen were uttered by a scholar like Yang Ximing.
This feeling always makes people feel out of place.
I nodded and asked:
"Why did Mr. Yang suddenly talk about the Death Gate?"
Yang Ximing smiled lightly and said casually:
"It's okay, I just want to ask Mr. Chu if he knows. Let's chat when we have time later!"
