Qin Fanghuai's face was filled with frustration, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "The root of all this trouble is the casino that Golden Teeth opened. It's bad enough that he opened a casino, but he even went so far as to rig the games, instructing his staff to cheat at gambling. If it hadn't been for the casino's traps, I would never have lost so much money!"
"Heh heh..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but let out a cold laugh and said, "Doctor Qin, you keep saying that Golden Teeth's casino cheats, but do you have any evidence? Did you see it with your own eyes, or is this just hearsay?"
"This..."
Ling Zhenfei's question left Qin Fanghuai speechless. He was just a terrible gambler, merely a plaything for the casino to toy with. How could he possibly find evidence of the casino's deceit?
"Hmph!"
Seeing him tongue-tied, Ling Zhenfei scoffed even more dismissively and said, "Let me tell you the truth, nowadays, it's practically impossible for a casino of any decent caliber to not cheat.
However, casinos choose whom to cheat, and when they encounter a gambling expert, they absolutely dare not pull any tricks. It's only when they encounter suckers like you that they take advantage. Because they know that even if they cheat, with your eyesight, you would never be able to tell!"
"Yes, that's exactly it!"
Although he felt humiliated by Ling Zhenfei mocking him as a sucker, the affirming words from Ling Zhenfei nevertheless gave Qin Fanghuai a glimmer of hope, and he looked at Ling Zhenfei with a pleading gaze.
Qin Fanghuai even gripped his hand tightly and begged, "Young Master Ling, please, you must help me. Even if you can't win back the money I've lost, you must expose the casino's underhanded tactics and ensure that the vile beast gets the punishment he deserves!"
"Don't worry, Doctor Qin, I might have ignored it if I hadn't seen it, but now that I have, I certainly won't turn a blind eye."
Ling Zhenfei smiled, then became serious and said, "Besides, I have a bit of a grudge with Golden Teeth myself.
Even if I don't go looking for trouble with him, if he sees an opportunity, he will definitely make things difficult for me. So this time, it's less about helping you and more about resolving a potential problem for myself."
Ling Zhenfei and Golden Teeth have a grudge?
Ling Zhenfei's words stunned Qin Fanghuai. However, knowing that Ling Zhenfei was willing to help him, Qin Fanghuai was naturally overjoyed. His face instantly brightened up, and he quickly thanked Ling Zhenfei several times.
"Xiao Ling, how do you plan to deal with Golden Teeth? You must know that Golden Teeth... he's a Local Snake in Binyang that we can't afford to mess with!"
After a moment of silence, Old Qiao couldn't help but express his concerns to Ling Zhenfei.
Although he trusted Ling Zhenfei's abilities and knew that Ling Zhenfei wouldn't just talk nonsense, the evil forces behind Golden Teeth were indeed not easily shaken.
"A Local Snake we can't afford to provoke? Heh heh... It's precisely because he's considered unapproachable that I want to mess with him!"
Upon hearing this, a calm smile appeared on Ling Zhenfei's face as he said, "As for how to deal with him, it's actually quite simple. The same way he swindles people, we'll swindle him!"
"This..."
Shocked by the response, Old Qiao quickly grasped the meaning and asked incredulously, "Xiao Ling, do you mean to say that..."
"Indeed!"
However, before Old Qiao's words could touch the ground, Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Since Golden Teeth is so fond of cheating in gambling, then I'll let him experience what real cheating is!"
Having confirmed his plan, Ling Zhenfei no longer hesitated, and had Qin Fanghuai take him to Golden Teeth's casino.
He wanted to see for himself how Golden Teeth's casino dared to flout underworld rules and have the gall to bait and swindle people's money.
Although Ling Zhenfei was not a professional gambler and was not deeply involved in the gambling industry, he had won quite a bit of money. However, he didn't change his opinion on gambling just because he won money.
He believed that gambling was essentially a scam where nine out of ten times you'd lose. And it is precisely because of the existence of cheaters that it's called a scam.
When gamblers cheat, they swindle the casino and other suckers. When the casino cheats, it's also the suckers they swindle. In the end, the unlucky ones are suckers like Qin Fanghuai.
Ling Zhenfei knew that cheaters, seeking to pull a fast one, had a myriad of cheating techniques at their disposal, varied and diverse; he could talk about it for three days and nights without covering it all, so there is no need to elaborate here.
As for casinos wanting to cheat and pull a fast one, it boiled down to one thing: using high-tech methods to tamper with the gambling devices.
Ordinary people, if they can't grasp the ins and outs of such casinos and rely on their so-called gambling skills while harboring a lucky mentality to strike it rich, will likely end up like Qin Fanghuai in the end, or even worse.
The early methods of cheating in these unscrupulous casinos, their first choice and the easiest game to tamper with, would naturally be poker.
Usually, the poker cards used at the major casino tables are produced in the United States or Macau, known as Bee poker cards.
Compared to the poker cards circulating on the market, these cards are slightly wider and a little thicker. On the back of the poker cards are shallow red or brown cross stripes.
In the casino, they play with brand-new poker cards. At the start of a game, the croupier will open a new deck in front of every gambler at the table, presenting an image of fairness and openness.
But in actuality, this seemingly newly opened pack of poker cards had already been tampered with by the casino beforehand, marked with various signs only they could distinguish.
After marking the cards, the casino then arranged for their own people to pose as casual players, join the game, and the croupier, according to their needs, would deal the good cards into their hands.
However, this method of tampering with poker was not sustainable. Once gamblers requested to wear special glasses to check the cards, the trick would easily be exposed. As a result, most casinos abandoned this cheating method and opted for more covert high-tech means.
The simplest high-tech method started with the installation of surveillance cameras. And these cameras were absolutely secretive, so secretive it was hard to imagine.
Customers would not expect that these tiny cameras could be installed in the most unexpected places.
Inside light fixtures, in flower pots, among room decorations, on the belts and ties of croupiers, and even on the clothing of some gamblers, cameras could be installed without them noticing.
The casino would install cameras in unexpected places and set up a central computer room, remotely monitoring every table within the casino, displaying clearly on computer screens what cards each gambler had.
Even if some gamblers managed to cover their hole cards, the technicians inside would analyze the probable cards based on various computer data.
