157: No, Lin Pei definitely cheated!

In his dazed state, Chen Qing suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could Lin Pei have swapped these cards for him?

But in just two seconds, Lin Pei wouldn't even have had enough time to swap his own cards, let alone his. It was simply a fantasy.

Given the difficulty of such a feat, only an immortal could pull it off.

His heart racing out of control, Chen Qing patted his chest and looked at Lin Pei’s cards again.

This look made his mind go blank, and he nearly fainted.

To everyone else, Lin Pei’s cards looked no different from the ordinary cards in this casino.

Only Chen Qing knew that the deck was not from the casino; it was the deck he used for cheating.

To distinguish them, he had made tiny marks on every card, which could only be identified through his high-tech glasses.

This was enough to prove that the three Aces in Lin Pei’s hand were the very cards he had swapped for himself not long ago.

How did Lin Pei swap the cards in such a short amount of time?

Wait, this wasn't even just swapping cards.

Dammit, before the cards were revealed, Lin Pei’s hand was clearly a Flush.

The Three of a Kind was swapped to his side, but what about the Flush? How did he end up with the smallest hand?

Chen Qing felt his blood pressure spiking; his whole body was shaking even harder than Wang Feng's earlier.

Is Lin Pei a freaking devil? This simply isn't something a human can do!

At this moment, Restrain Arrogance and Impetuosity also walked over from another gambling table.

Both of them pressed their palms together simultaneously, their faces filled with joy.

Monk said.

"Amituofo."

"As expected of Master, a single move results in a hundred billion."

Seeing these two Monks dressed as Shaolin High Monks, Chen Qing suddenly understood.

He remembered another trending news story about Lin Pei.

This recent trending story claimed that Lin Pei was actually a Shaolin High Monk as well.

That he was the Grandmaster of those Little Monks at the Shaolin Temple, and his actual age was nearly a hundred.

Although there was an element of exaggeration, just looking at Lin Pei’s calm performance in the face of a Hundred-Billion Gambling Match, it was definitely not what a Young Man in his twenties should have.

Moreover, since he was a Shaolin High Monk, besides his footwork, he might have also practiced some hand techniques. Could that card-swapping speed actually be possible?

Sigh, if he had remembered this earlier, he never would have come downstairs to gamble with this kid!

No, he wouldn't have even stepped out of the private room!

While Chen Qing was wallowing in regret, he suddenly heard a howl from the center of the floor.

"No, Lin Pei must have cheated!"

The one shouting was Wang Feng, who had just come to his senses.

Before the cards were revealed, seeing the God of Gamblers looking so confident, he thought that perhaps the God of Gamblers would win this round.

But when the cards were shown, the difference between their hands was vast. The God of Gamblers had actually lost again!

He felt like the sky was falling.

How could Lin Pei have such good luck? His hand was actually the highest Three of a Kind.

Looking at Lin Pei’s cards, Wang Feng suddenly remembered that he had seen this hand before.

In the first round Lin Pei played against him, hadn't he also gotten three Aces of Spades?

Under this stimulation, his brain seemed to work a bit faster.

A hand like this—no one gets it even once in many years.

Lin Pei got it twice in quick succession; there must be something fishy going on.

It was one thing to win against him, but to be so calm and composed when facing the God of Gamblers, as if he were certain he would win all along...

No, Lin Pei definitely cheated!

Restraint of Arrogance and Monk looked at each other, smiling without saying a word.

Lau Tak Wah’s eyebrows shot up as he snapped back.

"Heavenly King Wang, don't just spout nonsense because my Brother Lin has good luck."

"You say Brother Lin cheated—did you see it?"

Wang Feng's arrogance immediately deflated by half; he indeed hadn't seen anything.

Just before the round started, Chen Qing had told his subordinate to stay near Lin Pei specifically to watch if he cheated.

But that guy, whether because he was too nervous about the Hundred-Billion Gambling Match or because he drank too much water, had to go to the bathroom right after the Dealer finished dealing.

Before going to the toilet, he even passed this heavy responsibility to him, saying that since his lenses were the thickest, his eyesight should be reliable.

Wang Feng was helpless at the time.

What a joke.

If he had good eyesight, would he be wearing such thick lenses? What kind of logic was that?

Nevertheless, Wang Feng took on the responsibility. From the moment the Dealer finished dealing until the two revealed their cards, he stared at Lin Pei’s hands without blinking.

During that time, he really didn't see Lin Pei make any move... Could Lin Pei really have such good luck that getting Three of a Kind twice in one day was just a coincidence?

No matter how he thought about it, Wang Feng felt it was impossible.

He remembered the rounds he played against Lin Pei; no matter how good his hand was, Lin Pei’s hand was always just slightly better, securing a steady win.

Looking at the rounds against the God of Gamblers, he had also been winning consistently without a single loss.

No, looking at it this way, Lin Pei has 100% cheated!

His eyesight might be poor, but modern equipment could always clearly capture his movements.

Even if his hands were fast, slowing it down several times would surely make it clear.

Wang Feng pointed at the surveillance camera overhead.

"I didn't see it, but there's surveillance here."

"Do you dare let us see the surveillance footage?"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

"Hiss, I hadn't considered that possibility. Would Brother Lin cheat?"

"No way, right? I didn't see Brother Lin's hand move at all just now."

"Setting aside Brother Lin's extraordinary talent, for a Young Man who has never been in a casino to beat a God of Gamblers who has been gambling for decades—cheating is indeed a possibility."

"I'm saying, the Young Man started with the highest Three of a Kind, and in the last round, it was the highest Three of a Kind again, even the suits were the same. Could those be the cards he used to cheat, swapped twice?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm a bit worried. I'm an old fan of Brother Lin; please don't let this be happening."

"I just became a fan. Brother Lin, please don't collapse."

"..."

Hearing Wang Feng accuse Lin Pei, Chen Qing subconsciously frowned.

Both of them had cheated; checking the surveillance wouldn't benefit either of them.

If he took the initiative to speak privately with Lin Pei and reach a deal, no one would ever know about them cheating.

Maybe he could even get Lin Pei to return the money from this round.

Chen Qing looked at Lin Pei.

"Young Man, can we have a private word?"

Lin Pei saw through Chen Qing’s trick at a glance.

Chen Qing was afraid that the surveillance would also expose his own cheating, leading to his complete ruin, so he wanted to negotiate.

One must know that the consequences of cheating in a casino are dire, especially for someone hailed as the God of Gamblers.

If the truth came out, he would likely face retaliation from many people, and he might not even be able to keep his hands and feet.

But Lin Pei had little sympathy for such a person.

He leaned back lazily against the chair.

"Mr. Chen, I don't think we have anything to talk about."

"Since Mr. Wang and everyone else want to see the surveillance, let them."

"I also happen to want to review the gambling match just now."
