160: Trending topic: Macau's new gambling god, Lin Pei
The casino's medical staff immediately came to give Chen Qing first aid and called an ambulance.
It was just as well that he was unconscious; when the news of his cheating began to spread, he wasn't hunted down but was instead safely loaded into the ambulance, completely unharmed.
Having personally witnessed the largest high-stakes gamble in the casino's history, Lin Pei effortlessly defeated the God of Gamblers.
Witnessing the former God of Gamblers get caught cheating and his reputation ruined in an instant, everyone felt today had been incredibly thrilling, their emotions taking a long time to settle.
"Well, Brother Lin won all the way, only to find out the one cheating was the God of Gamblers. Where's the justice in that?"
"The God of Gamblers has been undefeated for years, all thanks to his cheating skills. But even cheating didn't work against Brother Lin. You can only say Brother Lin is just too strong."
"Yeah, the title of the new God of Gamblers is well-deserved by Brother Lin!"
"Breaking news: The Director is about to film the movie 'God of Gamblers' here, and the male lead is none other than Brother Lin."
"I knew it! Brother Lin is truly the most dedicated person in the entertainment industry and the most uniquely talented genius. He learns his character's skills to perfection for every role, and in no time, he surpasses even the professionals."
"Right? If Brother Lin took up a side hustle, he'd earn more in any field than acting. But it seems our Brother Lin is only interested in being an actor..."
"..."
Right then, people gathered around Lin Pei outside the surveillance room, starting a second round of autograph signings on the spot.
Lin Pei skillfully signed for a while before finally managing to break through the crowd with Lau Tak Wah.
He glanced at Lau Tak Wah.
"How's the training going? Want to keep gambling?"
Lau Tak Wah, having won money, was grinning from ear to ear but still kept a shred of rationality.
"Brother Lin, you've even cleaned out the God of Gamblers this time. I doubt anyone dares to gamble with you now."
Lin Pei shrugged, feeling a bit helpless.
"Oh, I should have deliberately lost one round earlier..."
Meanwhile, behind the two, inside the surveillance room, Wang Feng's eyes remained glued to the screen.
If he couldn't find evidence of Lin Pei cheating, his money wouldn't come back.
If the money didn't come back, he'd have to work non-stop, touring every year like a model worker just to support himself and save up enough gambling funds for his usual entertainment.
Moreover, among the bets he lost to Lin Pei, there was money borrowed from several female star friends.
If he didn't repay them quickly, his credibility in the eyes of these female stars would be gone. How could he socialize with them then?
Ah... This is so infuriating!
Watching this scene, Lin Pei's lips curled into a smile.
The system 'King of Gamblers' methods for cheating while evading modern technology were no joke.
Even if Heavenly King Wang slowed the video down a hundred times and stared himself blind, he probably wouldn't find anything.
Before long, the exhausted Wang Feng indeed gave up in tears, collapsing onto the floor.
His usually neat and shiny leather pants were now stained with dust.
It's over... Now he's truly a pauper.
Several bright flashes suddenly assaulted him, instantly darkening his already nearly-blinded vision.
The two people taking pictures right in front of him were none other than the two Paparazzi he had hired to follow Lin Pei, who later broke their contract halfway and even withheld half their payment.
Now, the two Paparazzi bravely stepped forward, practically shoving their cameras into Wang Feng's face.
Hmph.
They had to capture this moment well – Wang Feng, having gambled away his entire fortune, looking utterly defeated – and expose it.
After a while, a roar from Wang Feng echoed through the casino.
"Damn it, when will this end?"
"Stop filming, I'm already blind!"
...Under He Tao's increasingly worshipful gaze, Lin Pei and Lau Tak Wah left the casino and, along with Restrain Arrogance and Impetuosity, went to a restaurant for dinner.
When they returned to the Film Crew, Stephen Chow had already rushed over.
Stephen Chow wore an expression as if he had missed out on hundreds of millions, which he actually might have.
"Big brother, if you were going to challenge the God of Gamblers, you should have at least waited for me to arrive before gambling."
"Now look, Wah Zai got all the benefits!"
Lau Tak Wah shook his head smugly.
"I'm not the only one getting a share of the profits. There's also Xue You, Brother Cheng Long, Brother Hua Qiang, Brother Hua Jian, Brother Cheng Wu, Brother Jia Hui, Brother Zha Hui, Brother Fa, Brother Chao Wei, Man Yu, Bo Zhi..."
Stephen Chow's eyes turned red with anger.
"You really are something, Wah Zai. You borrowed from practically the entire entertainment industry."
"Hmph, then why didn't you ask me? Do I look like I don't have money?"
"Who do you look down on? This is utterly unreasonable!"
Lau Tak Wah showed no remorse.
"Star Lord, you do have money, but you're stingy."
"Remember last time I asked to borrow two dollars and fifty cents from you to buy a Coke, and you refused?"
Stephen Chow pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.
Uh... That did seem to have happened.
He waved his hand, putting on a profound air.
"Forget it, I brought this upon myself."
"Wah Zai, are you thirsty now? Let me buy you a drink."
"..."
Not far away, The Director also let out a sigh of regret.
"Exactly, if I had known you were this amazing, Lin Pei, I would have chipped in some gambling funds for you too."
"How did you even manage to beat the God of Gamblers? I heard he was cheating too."
"Lin Pei, you're truly divine."
Stephen Chow put an arm around Lin Pei's shoulder.
"Who is my big brother? Of course he's divine."
Lin Pei smiled.
"It's not that exaggerated. I just got lucky."
He was somewhat surprised.
"The news spread pretty fast. By the time Wah Zai and I finished dinner, you all already knew?"
The Director said,
"Oh my, the Macau God of Gamblers meeting a formidable opponent, losing everything, and getting exposed for cheating – that's major news in Macau."
"It's not just the casino and us who know now; the whole internet knows."
Stephen Chow's eyes went blank.
"Yes, big brother, you're trending again."
"Happening every other day, to be honest, I'm getting used to it like eating a home-cooked meal, no feeling anymore."
Among the group, some had won hundreds of millions, others had missed out on hundreds of millions, so their emotions were anything but calm.
But fortunately, they were all very dedicated professionals. After chatting for a while, they got back on schedule and started rehearsing their scenes.
Only when he returned to the hotel at night did Lin Pei get a chance to go online and discover he was indeed trending yet again.
And this time, there were still plenty of trending titles about him.
