Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Macau, the land of sensuality.

Although there is no Lisboa Casino in Macau in this era, there is a New World Casino.

As one of the top casinos in Macau, New World only serves VIPs, that is, rich people. If you want to go in and play, you must at least have tens of thousands of cash on hand.

Mrs. Selena is a frequent visitor to New World casinos. She is not satisfied in that aspect, so she often comes to New World to have fun, either drinking and having fun with a bunch of rich and powerful ladies, or gambling a lot of money. Many times she is a loser. 10,000 to 20,000 is small money, and the maximum loss is 100,000 at a time.

As a man, Superintendent Ge Bai owes a lot to his wife, so he turns a blind eye to this aspect, as long as it doesn't go too far.

In the VIP private room, three noble ladies are drinking wine with several men.

Selena drank too much red wine, leaned on the sofa, shook the wine glass in her hand, slightly parted her red lips, and watched this scene with fascinated eyes, feeling no fun.

"Selena, do you want to participate?" A lady who was close to her approached and asked.

Selena shook her head: "You guys play, don't call me."

"It's always like this, everyone wants to have fun when they come out to play!" Another lady said kindly.

"Yeah! Every time you don't play, it's so boring!"

"Maybe Selena already has a lover in her heart!"

"Heck, it must be, I know she likes to read Byron's poems the most, they are all about love!"

The three noble ladies laughed.

Selena shook her head, but a handsome appearance appeared in her mind involuntarily, but it was the Chinese young man she met this morning.

"Damn it, why did I suddenly think of him?" Selena shook her head hurriedly, dismissing the thought.

"Have fun! I'll go outside and have a few games!" Selena put down her wine glass and smiled.

"Okay, we know! But you have to be careful, don't bet too much. Last time, we lost 100,000 in one breath, and we were almost angered by Mr. Ge Bai!"

...

Although Selena likes to gamble, she is not a good gambler. To be precise, she has never carefully studied how to win.

And the way Selena likes to gamble is also the simplest and most direct - rolling the dice and betting big or small.

"Four, five, six!"

Selena had lost only one chip in front of her—the blue chip, worth one thousand.

"This hag is really unlucky!"

"Yeah, it's a bright light! Play against her, and you'll win!"

Selena couldn't understand Chinese, and no matter what these people said, she put her chin on her left hand and pushed the last chip to bet big.

Hula!

A group of gamblers push their chips up and bet small.

The dealer looked at Selena, who was alone and no one was following her, and then at a large group of gamblers waiting for him to roll the dice, and was about to raise her hand——

"Hold on!"

Wow!

Ten blue chips were pushed next to Selina's chips.

Betting 10,000 yuan in one breath is not uncommon in casinos, but it is not common. People can't help but look at the person who came.

Selena couldn't help but look back, her eyes just met Du Yongxiao's.

"Why are you?" Selena looked surprised.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "I couldn't impress Mr. Ge Bai today, and I'm in a bad mood, so I came here to relax."

"Really?" Selena smiled shyly, and then looked at the gambling table: "You shouldn't be with me, I'm not lucky, I always lose!"

Du Yongxiao raised his eyebrows, looked at the chips on both sides, and said with a smile: "No, I feel like I might win this time."

Selena shook her head: "How could..."

Before the words fell, the dice had already been revealed!

"Four five six, big!"

boom!

The scene exploded.

"How can it be?"

"Is there a mistake?"

"What's wrong with the light?"

Selena looked at everything in front of her with surprise.

She has played here too many times, and she has long been numb to losing, but she did not expect to win this time.

The chips were delivered.

Du Yongxiao gracefully helped Selena put away the chips, and said, "Okay, there is a saying in China that you can accept it when you see it! Why don't we go outside for a walk?"

Selena suppressed the excitement of winning, and nodded shyly.

...

The Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau.

In the dim night, there are sellers of wonton noodles, car noodles, and dumplings next to them, attracting customers with kerosene lamps.

"Why are you so sure you will win this one?" Selina asked Du Yong Xiaodao.

Du Yongxiao walked side by side with her, "Guess, you have very few chips on this side, and a lot of chips on that side. If I were the banker, which one would you like to eat?"

"Uh, is it okay?"

"Gambling, ten bets and nine lies."

The night wind was blowing, and there was a hint of coolness.

Selena was wearing a foreign dress, and couldn't help shrinking her body.

Du Yongxiao took off his suit jacket and put it lightly on her shoulders.

A warm feeling came from the bottom of my heart, Selena couldn't help but blushed, she glanced at Du Yongxiao and said: "You look very small, but you are very caring about people."

"There are some things that I have to do. My family used to be very rich, but it's a pity that halfway through the family's decline..." Du Yongxiao's sad face made people feel pitiful.

The two walked to a bench not far away and sat down.

Du Yongxiao: "Excuse me, do you mind if I smoke?"

Selina shook her head.

Du Yongxiao took out a cigarette and bit it on his mouth, and took out a match several times to light the cigarette, but they were all blown out by the night wind.

Finally, he lit a match again, this time there was no wind blowing in, and the cigarette finally lit.

Du Yongxiao looked up, only to see that Selena was supporting him with a suit jacket draped over his shoulders to protect him from the wind.

Du Yongxiao smiled, "Thank you!"

Breathe out a puff of smoke.

The smoke drifted away with the wind.

Selena was already fascinated by this moment.

"Big brother, buy a bunch of flowers for my pretty sister!" A ragged flower girl came over with a flower basket.

Her hair was disheveled and yellow, and her face was dirty. Her short trousers couldn't cover her ankles, and her little feet were bare underneath.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "How much?"

"One bunch, five horns!"

The girl hurriedly handed a bunch to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao pointed to the basket: "How much do you want in total?"

"Two dollars."

Du Yongxiao took out his wallet, took out five yuan and handed it to the girl, "No need to look for it."

"Thank you, big brother, thank you so much!" The girl burst into tears of gratitude.

If she sells out earlier, she can go home earlier, and instead of wandering in the dark, she can go home to fill her stomach, find her mother, and hide in her warm arms.

Du Yongxiao handed the flower basket to Selena: "Every beauty deserves a basket of flowers."

Selena smiled, picked up the roses in the flower basket and sniffed them: "I have a tiger in my heart, sniffing the roses——"

The corners of Du Yongxiao's mouth rose: "Don't be attached to pain—the night gave me black eyes, and I use them to find light!"

Selena was surprised when she heard the words, and looked into Du Yongxiao's black eyes: "What a beautiful poem, this is——"

"This is what I feel."

"You are a genius."

"No, ma'am, don't praise me!" Du Yongxiao has no shame, staring tenderly into the other's eyes, "For me-time is like water, always silent; if you are well, it will be sunny!"

Selena's heart was shot ten thousand points.

At this moment, she was stunned by Du Yongxiao's beautiful poem.

Du Yongxiao took advantage of the opportunity to lift her delicate chin: "I am a person who wants to save face! Tonight is really just a chance meeting, you must not talk too much in front of Superintendent Ge Bai! Of course, if you really want to help me, I will not Oppose, who made you and I so destined?"

"I can... help you! But how will you repay me?" Selena said intoxicated.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, and leaned close to her ear: "I'll give you a lung!"
