Power and Wealth

Chapter 1594

It's eight o'clock.

In the casino lobby.

Almost all the attention of the outdoor customers and staff has been drawn here. Everyone is puzzled by the casino manager's attitude.

Small business?

Give their boss face?

Let a young person like them off?

Everyone couldn't imagine these words coming from the undeniably largest casino manager and staff in Macau. It was shocking. Most of the regulars at the casino had seen this manager before; some had even spoken to him. They were familiar with some of the big and small events in the casino and understood some of the methods of dealing with them. However, today, no one can understand. They had no idea what was going on with the usually stern-faced manager. When did your Wynn Casino become so low-key?

"Who is that person?"

"So young."

"I haven't seen him before. It seems like he's never been here."

"Ask the dealer, Xiao Li, what's going on."

"Um, I don't know either. I don't know that young man."

Many people were conversing in a buzz, pointing and gesturing towards Dong Xuebing and others. Many gambling tables also stopped, all looking over.

They all had inexplicable expressions.

Only Dong Xuebing understood what was going on.

It must be because of his recent visit to the gambling ship with Zhang Longjuan and the others. He won big that time, probably equivalent to a billion RMB. He gained a lot of attention because of it. With so many people on-site and cameras, capturing his image was easy. Many casinos probably recorded him. That's why the staff member at the door just now looked strange. That's why all those cameras were pointing at him and others. He was recognized. Usually, this kind of thing isn't shown off, especially since Dong Xuebing is now with the Discipline Inspection Commission, and even more so because many relatives and cadres from Jiangnan Province are present. But Dong Xuebing isn't afraid. He isn't afraid of being exposed. He isn't afraid of any negative impact this might have.

Why?

The reason is simple.

Because this incident is unlikely to be exposed.

Official gambling, especially by a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, is a big deal. Dismissal is inevitable if investigated. That's a given. But, on the other hand, the root cause of the gambling ship incident wasn't Dong Xuebing's gambling; it was because he wanted to protect Zhang Longjuan's safety. Sister Zhang was on the ship because of a task from State Security. This matter even received approval and tacit consent from the high levels of State security. So, Dong Xuebing and Zhang Longjuan helped the State Security Agency carry out the task. Sister Zhang even asked for policies from the State Security. She, an affiliated non-staff member, took a significant risk to help with the undercover investigation. In return, all the money Dong Xuebing won from gambling was entirely legal. For this reason, Dong Xuebing is naturally not afraid of anything. Even if the gambling incident caused problems, the State Security Agency would clarify or cover it up. It can't be exposed.

So, Dong Xuebing stood here calmly. He was very dissatisfied with the differential treatment from the casino. This guy has always been like this.

Others can go in.

Why can't I?

Why the hell not?

Dong Xuebing looked at the person in charge and said, "Let me repeat it. We didn't intend to exchange chips today. Even if you give us chips for free, we don't intend to use them. We came here to take a look. Everyone else can come in, so why am I the only exception? Are you trying to bully me?"

The person in charge thought, "You're easy to bully? With your gambling skills, no casino can handle you." The person in charge was extremely helpless. Encountering such a gambling god was challenging to handle. Offending him was not an option. Even if the boss didn't speak up, the person in charge knew the score. With such formidable gambling skills, if this person wanted to cheat the casino, it would be almost effortless. Ultimately, it would be a loss for their casino, and they would unnecessarily antagonize someone. But letting him wander around the casino freely was also not an option. As the person in charge said earlier, in front of someone listed on the danger list, their casino was indeed a small business. Other gamblers were acceptable; even if they boasted about their gambling skills and cheated using every possible method, the casino wouldn't mind as long as they didn't win too much. But this person was different. They couldn't even detect how he was cheating. He could win over a billion RMB with just one chip. In other words, if he had enough chips, he could bankrupt their casino in ten minutes or even less. Even the number one casino in Macau couldn't afford to lose billions of RMB.

Their money wasn't earned quickly.

This kind of winning method couldn't even fill the gaps in their teeth with the money from a tornado.

The person in charge could only bow again and said helplessly to Dong Xuebing, "Sir, would you consider going to another casino? Our casino..."

Dong Xuebing interrupted, "Since I'm here, why should I go elsewhere?"

The person in charge could only laugh bitterly and said, "Please, I beg you to reconsider."

Hearing the repeated emphasis on "please" and "give us face" from the casino manager, everyone gradually guessed something.

This person is a master.

Or a master who even the casino can't handle.

How is that possible? How could such a young person be like this?

Hou Wen was also dumbfounded for a moment. "Xuebing, have you been here before? Do they know you?"

Dong Xuebing shrugged, "It's my first time in Macau. How would I know?"

Han Fang glanced at Dong Xuebing's profile and said, "They must have mistaken him for someone else."

The young people led by Young Master Song also looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously, unable to digest the situation.

The person in charge thought, "We hope we've mistaken him. We wouldn't want to encounter such a dangerous figure. We'd rather never meet someone like him in our lifetime. My heart is still trembling because if we don't handle this well, the losses to the casino won't be just hundreds or thousands of millions; it could be tens of billions. We can't afford to lose."

The oldest secretary's wife said, "Xuebing, what should we do?"

Since they came together, and Dong Xuebing's identity was unique, they would stick together and stand with Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing shrugged, "Let's mind our own business."

The secretary's wife nodded, "Okay, let's continue watching."

As for what others were saying, the person in charge didn't bother. They could do whatever they wanted. But Dong Xuebing was different; all eyes were on him.

Dong Xuebing casually followed along.

The person in charge immediately said, "Can we have a word in private?"

"It's fine," Dong Xuebing walked away on his own.

The person in charge's smile turned bitter as he looked back and clenched his teeth. He received a box from his subordinate and hurriedly approached Dong Xuebing. "Sir, please wait."

Dong Xuebing turned around, "What now?"

The person in charge saw many eyes watching, but he couldn't care too much. He quickly walked up to Dong Xuebing and opened the safe. Inside were bundles of US dollars.

"Oh my!"

"Take a look!"

"What's this for?"

There was an uproar among the crowd.

Dong Xuebing looked at him, "What does this mean?"

The person in charge said, "There's no other meaning. We also know that this amount of money may not be much. Here's a hundred thousand US dollars. It mainly compensates you for your trip here, which we haven't properly hosted. We think it's inappropriate. Please accept this money. Our boss said that since you've come to Macau, our boss will extend his hospitality to you. In the future, we'll all be friends. If you need anything, feel free to contact us. So please, be magnanimous."

Dong Xuebing: "......"

Master Song and Han Fang were dumbfounded.

The surrounding gamblers and uninformed casino employees were also stunned, almost hitting the wall with their heads. They couldn't understand what was happening. Who was this person? Not only was the manager smiling and polite, but he was also giving away money for no reason.

A hundred thousand US dollars!

Tens of thousands of RMB!

This was giving it away!

This was a scene that nobody could understand. Everyone knew that casinos always took but never gave back. They had never heard of a casino giving money to someone, especially when this young man hadn't even exchanged chips or placed a bet. He just stood there, yet they were so frightened that they hurriedly gave him money.

Who exactly was this young man?

Just a few steps into the casino, he had scared them like this.

Everyone was amazed, staring at Dong Xuebing's face.

The scene shocked some casino staff who didn't know who Dong Xuebing was. They might not know who Dong Xuebing was, but they understood some behind-the-scenes and administrative procedures. So, seeing the casino manager's gesture of giving away money, they were also shocked, and a terrible thought arose in their minds.

Could one of the three people on the top of the danger list have arrived?

If not, how could the manager treat him with such an attitude?

Those three people were almost legendary figures in the industry. Everyone knew their deeds, and they were held in awe and even admiration. Some people hoped to become like them one day.

Could it be?

Has one of those three arrived?

The casino suddenly became lively, and everyone's expressions were varied.
