Chapter 74 Stowaway (2)
Shen Yue has been talking to him in English. Obviously, Kang Ruxin's English foundation is also very good, she completely understands what the old man said.However, Shen Yue immediately noticed that Boss Zhong's complexion had turned a little ugly, he waved his hand to Kang Ruxin hastily, and said to the old man, "Mr. Zhong, can you tell us what you know about this person?"

Now, Shen Yue has realized that his aversion to the old man in front of him was too narrow.In places like Hong Kong and Macau, there are many people who cannot speak Mandarin, which is a very normal thing.Shen Yue knew why he had such emotions yesterday, and it was because the other party's refusal caused his disgust in the final analysis.

Kang Ruxin is right, in fact, he is more easily influenced by other people's emotions, which is probably a fatal flaw for a psychologist.

The old man said: "He came from the mainland more than 20 years ago..."

Shen Yue's heart moved, and he asked, "Smuggling?"

The old man didn't answer his question, but Shen Yue already knew the answer.Then Boss Zhong continued: "One day more than 20 years ago, a young man came to my casino. At the beginning, he was not noticeable because his bets were not large. But this man quickly attracted attention. I caught the attention of the people below me, and my people found that the chips in this person's hand increased exponentially in a short period of time. Every time he bet the chips in his hand at one time, but every time I have never lost. After the people below reported to me, I was also very surprised, and hurriedly checked the surveillance video, but there was no sign of him showing a thousand signs. I know that I have encountered a master. If I let him continue like this The consequences will be very serious. The casino is an industry left by my father. When I was young, I studied in Portugal and taught at a university when I came back. When my father passed away, the casino was handed over to me, so I had to resign from the university. At that time, I had just taken over the casino not long ago. When I encountered such a situation for the first time, I was unavoidably panicked. But in Macau, the casino is a legal industry, and you can’t take extreme measures just because someone wins a lot of money. Watching the chips in front of this man change from hundreds of thousands to millions. But what I didn't expect was that at this moment, he suddenly stopped betting, but looked at the camera, smiling Said, 'Boss, let's talk.'”

When the old man said this, Shen Yue suddenly understood, and asked, "He didn't just come here to win money?"

The old man looked at him in surprise, nodded and said, "The person next to him translated his words for me. I was relieved and hurriedly invited him to my office. No one knew, although the air-conditioning in the office was turned on It's very low, but my back is already soaked. The young man smiled at me and said in Cantonese, 'I need a job and permanent residency in Macau'. I didn't expect the conditions he proposed to be so Simple, unbelievably simple. He looked at me stunned and said, "I understand, you used to be a university professor and don't have much experience in managing casinos, so you need me. I'm from the mainland He came here illegally, and I need your help too'. Hearing what he said, I breathed a long sigh of relief. Although I don’t know the reason why he illegally entered Macau, his words still moved me. For From my point of view, it is not difficult to apply for a Macau residence permit for him, and I really need a casino master like him to control the place. Macau is a casino city, and there are not many real masters. Such talents are really rare. But I am still hesitant because I don’t know his past. Although Macau had not yet returned to the motherland at that time, the relationship between the two places was very delicate. I'm in big trouble. I said, 'You're a stowaway, aren't you afraid I'll report it? Then you won't take any of the money you win with me'. He smiled and said, 'You won't report the crime, Because you need me. I just finished my sentence in the mainland. It is very difficult for released prisoners to have a future in the mainland, so I ran here. If you go to report the case, I will be deported to the mainland at most, but you will lose A casino master who can hold the stage for you. To tell you the truth, it will not be difficult for me to come again in the future, maybe I will no longer be a stowaway by then'. I have to admit that he has convinced me, like Once a master like him targets my casino, there will be endless troubles in the future, so I can only agree to his conditions."

Kang Ruxin asked suspiciously: "Since he has already won more than 100 million, more than 100 million at that time was not a small amount. He can win more money and leave without revealing his identity as a stowaway!"

Shen Yue said: "At that time, he was in order to survive, and survival was the first priority. And he himself said that it is difficult for prisoners released from labor camps to have a future in the mainland, because many people have a lot of prejudice against that group." Having said that, he went to look at Boss Zhong and said, "What happened next?"

The old man said: "When he saw that I agreed to his conditions, he said, 'I only need half of the money I win today, but I request that the money be invested in your casino'. I thought his request was not high, so I agreed Yes. At first I just let him do the job of patrolling the casino, because I was still not sure about his origin. Later I found out his past identity through the relationship, and during that time he saw through several cases for me. Thousands of gamblers, I promoted him to the supervisor of the casino. Over the years, my casino has made a lot of money, which is all thanks to him. I said, I used to work in a university, and then I had to inherit my father’s But I don’t want my descendants to continue this industry. Although casinos are easy to make money, they are also very risky. I’ve seen many people lose their fortunes and their wives and children because of gambling... Sorry, I’m taking the topic too far. Five years ago, he suddenly came to me and said that there was a person who wanted to be taken care of by my daughter. I knew his name when he first arrived in Macau, and I understood his relationship with Song Zhenzhen when he said that name. I asked He sighed and said, 'I owe her so much, I don't want her to know that I have a father'. I said, 'She's your daughter after all'. He shook his head and said, 'She won't forgive me You must not let her know that someone is behind her back. I have served you for so many years, this is my only request'. Mr. Shen, I heard from my daughter that you are a psychologist and I am also a father I can’t convince him, but I hope you can. This is the main reason why I hope you can come to Macau in person.”

At this moment, Shen Yue was full of respect for the old man in front of him, but he was still a little puzzled: "You said earlier that this person has never left Macau, so how does he know about his daughter's situation?"

The old man smiled and said: "I just gave a rough idea about his situation, you should ask him personally for the specifics."

The casino run by the old man is located in the center of the city, and there are many similar buildings at a glance.That's not surprising, given that the city is world-famous for its gaming industry, after all.

After entering the casino, there is a security gate, even if it is led by an old man, Shen Yue and the others must pass through that place.The old man explained: "You cannot bring weapons, including knives, into the casino, and you cannot bring cameras inside. This is the regulation of every casino."

In front is the lobby of the casino, which is very spacious and clearly divided into various ways of playing.There were a lot of gamblers inside, and the environment was not as noisy as Shen Yue thought. The gamblers were sitting or standing, and occasionally they could hear voices of excitement and annoyance.The old man took Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin up to the third floor from the nearby elevator.

The second floor is the VIP area of ​​the casino, and the third floor is the special VIP area and the casino owner's office.Both Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin came to such a place for the first time. Kang Ruxin was inevitably curious. After getting out of the elevator, she couldn't help looking around, but found that there were only a few men in black suits standing upright in front of her. Apart from the luxurious decoration, there is no difference.Shen Yue didn't seem to notice everything in front of him at all, he was thinking about how to get into the topic after meeting Song Zhenzhen's biological father for a while.

On the way here, the old man told Shen Yue that Song Zhenzhen's biological father used to be called Lei Meng, but after arriving in Macau, he changed his name to Lei Fangda.At that time, Shen Yue asked: "Does he know about our coming to Macau?" The old man replied: "Although I just told him that you found his daughter in Zhuhai, I didn't say anything else, but he is a smart person, so he should be able to Thought you would come."

When a person reaches the age of the old man, wisdom will naturally develop.Obviously, when he told Rafanda about that incident, he should have hinted at him at the same time.In the final analysis, based on the old man's life experience, he will not bring trouble to himself.But now, since the old man has brought Shen Yue and the others here, it means that Lei Fangda has not left this place.In other words, the old man has long been completely relieved.

Shen Yue smiled, and asked casually: "I think this Lei Fangda learned gambling skills in prison. Is that so?"

The old man smiled and said, "You will see him soon, so you should ask him yourself."

Shen Yue could only smile wryly.The old man’s words are actually very reasonable. It is best for a person’s experience to be told by himself, and other people’s words will inevitably be exaggerated or omitted.Although Shen Yue's contact with this old man was very short, the old man's wisdom had already left a deep impression on him.

Wisdom is like an illusory door, maybe it is right in front of you, but for the ignorant, it is likely to be far away from you.Life is full of philosophy everywhere, it depends on whether you can comprehend it.At this moment, Shen Yue felt a lot.
