159: Everyone in the monitoring room witnessed the God of Gamblers cheating.

In Chen Qing's eyes, these words were already categorized as part of Lin Pei's psychological warfare.

After learning that Lin Pei knew Boss He, Chen Qing was certain that Lin Pei's insistence on going to the surveillance room was actually just to show his stance and dispel everyone's suspicions of him cheating.

In reality, Lin Pei must have known that Boss He would vouch for him and wouldn't actually check the surveillance.

Yes, it must be so.

Who would want to be caught after cheating?

As he was thinking this, he heard He Tao say something.

"Alright, since Brother Lin wants to go to the surveillance room, let's go and have a look!"

"I won't allow anyone to suspect my Brother Lin of cheating!"

"..."

Chen Qing was dumbfounded; he wanted to stop them, but it was too late.

Because He Tao was already leading the way, taking everyone toward the surveillance room.

Dammit.

Weren't you just vouching for him? Why are we going just because of one sentence from Lin Pei?

Looking at that expression, Boss He couldn't be that kid's die-hard fan, could he?

Looking at it this way, he might be a freaking anti-fan.

In his panic, Chen Qing could only follow.

He was puzzled; what benefit would it be to that kid if both sides were found to be cheating? Why did he still insist on going and not stop it?

What Chen Qing didn't know was that He Tao originally really didn't want to check.

After all, it wouldn't be good if they actually found something.

But as soon as he saw Lin Pei's certain gaze, he couldn't help but obey.

Back when Lin Pei treated him, after the hypnosis, he had this same calm and composed look, which still made him seem very trustworthy now.

He Tao secretly wondered if this was a side effect of the hypnosis... The crowd followed in a grand procession toward the surveillance room.

As expected of the largest casino in Macau, the surveillance room wasn't an ordinary small room but occupied a space as large as an entire private box.

It was filled with surveillance screens, with footage coming from every corner of the casino; nothing was missed except for non-public areas like the restrooms.

Any movement by the people at the gambling tables could be seen at a glance.

The staff pulled up the surveillance footage from Lin Pei's table and projected it onto the large screen in the center so everyone could see it clearly.

The time was first adjusted to the few rounds between Lin Pei and Wang Feng.

While everyone stared intently at the screen, Wang Feng was even more nervous, almost pressing his face against it.

But after half an hour passed, until the end of the game, no one found any cheating movements from Lin Pei.

Wang Feng began to doubt his life.

He asked the staff to play it back in slow motion.

Lin Pei nodded to He Tao, and only then did He Tao instruct the staff to slow down the videos of the segments from dealing to showing the cards.

Even after watching it again, the crowd still found no evidence of Lin Pei cheating.

Wang Feng deflated.

Chen Qing thought to himself, so this kid won billions earlier without even cheating.

He really does have some skill.

Before the staff could fast-forward the video to when he and Lin Pei started gambling, Chen Qing interrupted.

"Since it's been proven that Mr. Lin didn't cheat, there's no need to continue watching."

"I also trust Mr. Lin's character."

Lin Pei sneered inwardly.

Trust him, my ass?

This God of Gamblers must be panicking like crazy right now, fearing that if they keep watching the surveillance video, everyone will see his clumsy cheating techniques.

Then let's make him panic a bit more.

Lin Pei tilted his chin up and pointed at Wang Feng.

"Mr. Chen trusts me, but Heavenly King Wang doesn't."

"Since we're already here, let's finish watching it together."

Wang Feng's spirits lifted.

Right, the surveillance from when the God of Gamblers and Lin Pei were playing hasn't been watched yet.

He didn't believe it; could Lin Pei have won the subsequent hundred billion just by luck?

Impossible!

He shoved his hands into his leather pants.

"Right, I don't believe it."

"I want to keep checking!"

Chen Qing failed to catch Wang Feng's eye; at this moment, he was gnashing his teeth so hard they were about to bleed.

Dammit.

If he had known this would happen, he should have poisoned this guy mute earlier.

Soon, the staff adjusted the footage to the right time.

Watching the footage of the two starting their match on the screen, Chen Qing's heart raced, and he felt his blood pressure must have spiked.

At this point, he could only comfort himself.

If both of them were caught cheating, would the shame be halved?

At this moment, along with him, everyone's gaze was once again fixed on the screen.

They watched even more intently this time.

The crowd whispered, and someone said:

"Indeed, playing against Wang Feng probably doesn't require cheating; after all, Wang Feng looks like a total noob."

"But against the God of Gamblers, that might not be the case."

Just as the person finished speaking, Wang Feng's howl came from behind.

"Who are you calling a noob? Buddy, can you not insult me to my face?"

The person was a bit embarrassed.

"Cough... then I'll go over there..."

Wang Feng, "..."

Dammit, if I don't let him insult me to my face, he'll just go to the side and do it?

What kind of people are these?

Although they were talking, their eyes never left the center screen.

The person who just called Wang Feng a noob also didn't blink, backing away to the other side like a blind man.

Before long, everyone gasped in unison.

"Holy shit, holy shit, the cards were swapped..."

Wang Feng pressed his glasses hard.

"Where? Where? How come I didn't see it?"

My goodness, is his presbyopia getting worse? Does he need thicker lenses?

He had been staring at Lin Pei's hands, and there clearly weren't any movements.

A kind soul told him.

"Don't stare at Brother Lin; the one swapping cards is the God of Gamblers."

!!!!

Wang Feng's mind instantly became a mess.

Huh??? What?

Lin Pei didn't cheat, but the God of Gamblers did??

How is that possible?

By now, the second round between the two had begun on the screen, and Wang Feng suspiciously shifted his gaze to the other side of the screen.

Soon, he indeed discovered Chen Qing's little movements; he was freaking swapping cards for real.

Wang Feng deflated again.

Holy crap, is this person really the God of Gamblers?

As the God of Gamblers, how could he still lose so miserably after cheating and swapping cards? He's the one who's truly a noob, okay!

Although the surveillance room wasn't small, more than half the people in the casino had gathered to watch the excitement.

Only a portion could fit into the surveillance room; the line outside was still very long.

After discovering Chen Qing's card swapping, the crowd relayed the information they saw from the inside out and from front to back.

"The God of Gamblers cheated."

In the end, it even took on the momentum of a military-wide chant.

"Ah! The God of Gamblers cheated!"

By now, Chen Qing's face was as white as paper, and sweat poured down like rain.

It wasn't just shame for his own cheating; he discovered with horror that in the surveillance footage, Lin Pei didn't have a single trace of cheating movement!

Then how were those cards swapped?

Did he see a freaking ghost?!

He was even more agitated than Wang Feng earlier, demanding the staff to play it back in slow motion.

As a result, after watching it again, there was absolutely no sign of any suspicious movements from Lin Pei.

Chen Qing's eyes widened as he looked up at Lin Pei. Lin Pei happened to give him a gentle smile, but he found it somewhat eerie.

Waaah... he had been afraid of ghosts since he was a child.

With a "hic," Chen Qing closed his eyes and fainted.
