Chapter 464: Proof
When Xu Cheng returned to the lab, he went to look at the queen bee.
Holy cow, it still wasn’t dead yet.
Not bad, looking at how it was flying around so energetically, he could rest assured. The longer it lived, the more successful and effective Xu Cheng’s gene fusion technology was!
He stayed at the laboratory and read the textbooks and notes until the afternoon before finally leaving.
After opening the door to leave, he saw a guy standing right in front of him.
It was the Withers guy that he had toyed with.
Withers directly stepped closer and said, “I know you are related to what’s happening to those four casinos in Las Vegas. I don’t know how you were able to do it, but I just want to say that you are committing a crime!”
Xu Cheng was too lazy to bother with him. After getting into the car, Lin Dong drove off.
Behind them, Withers closely followed.
After he drove to be parallel with Xu Cheng’s car, he opened the window and shouted, “I will be keeping my eye on you! The moment you make a mistake, I will be there to arrest you! I know you are connected with the four Mexican mafias, or they wouldn’t be helping you and placing bets down for you.”
Xu Cheng was too lazy to talk to him, and Lin Dong obviously ignored him too.
Then, the two of them kept on heading to an upscale restaurant.
It was Saar’s invitation, Lin Dong gave him a call.
Saar would have guys taking care of the tail that was following them.
Withers still closely followed Xu Cheng, and at a crossroads, a car suddenly ran the red light and charged right at Withers. Withers immediately swirled to the side and barely avoided the impact. Once he stomped on the brakes, he already lost track of Xu Cheng’s car.
“F*ck!” Withers slammed the steering wheel.
He immediately took out his phone and called the HQ, “Hurry up and help me track a car, an extended Maybach sedan, the plate number is-”
“Sergeant Withers, you are on vacation right now, who are you trying to track right now? Sorry, we cannot assist you with this request.”
Then, the call was hung up.
“Sh-t!” Withers cursed and could only find it slowly himself.
Xu Cheng arrived at a Huaxia-cuisine restaurant, and outside, there were guys of the four mafias that all came to open the door in person, bowing and gesturing for him to go inside.
With Saar’s confidant coming to personally lead the way, they went into the private room that had been reserved.
The four mafia bosses all welcomed Xu Cheng with open arms. After a big hug, they took out their precious cigars and passed one to him.
Then, the five of them enjoyed a meal together.
Using Huaxia food to accommodate Xu Cheng, the four of them clearly showed their utmost attention and sincerity.
“I’m afraid that Mr. Fang wouldn’t be used to Western food, so I found this restaurant for us to dine in today. Mr. Fang, I hope you enjoy this meal.” Saar smiled.
Xu Cheng moved his chopsticks and began to eat.
At this time, Arman said, “Mr. Fang, in fact, there are some tails on you, and we can take care of them for you.”
The so-called “take care” was basically killing them off without leaving behind any traces.
Xu Cheng waved. “No need, I’m a civilized person. I only came to the M Nation to make money, not to cause trouble. I said I won’t interfere with anything.”
The four of them nodded in understanding.
Xu Cheng looked at those four and said, “The preset gambling amount we are using might’ve been guessed recently, so we might need to switch things up a bit.”
The four of them nodded. “Indeed. They just gamble once, and each time they only place down between one to eight million dollars, so it’s quite easy to locate our guys.”
Xu Cheng: “I guess the casino would automatically assume that those that only gamble once and leave are our guys, so our guys might not even be able to leave the casino afterward. Since that’s the case, then we will send in more guys. Three guys per group going in at once, but we will change the amount to 500 thousand per person. That way, the starting amount will be 1.5 million in total, and our profit will be even bigger.”
The four bosses nodded.
“We will all listen to Mr. Fang’s arrangements.”
After all, they were only responsible for taking precautionary measures against the cops. As for how the operation goes, they couldn’t really intervene so they were also smart enough to listen to everything Xu Cheng says.
And that was also why Xu Cheng likes, to be working with smart people.
After the meal was done, Saar’s confidant came in and said, “Mr. Fang, that FBI guy found your car. Should we take care of him for you?”
“No need.” Xu Cheng shook his head. “We didn’t break any laws, we are just gambling normally under broad daylight. Just let him do his thing, I will play with him. The afternoon operation will go as scheduled, see you at the old place.”
Then, Xu Cheng wiped his mouth and stood up. “Let’s go, Dong.”
Lin Dong led the way at the front.
When the two arrived downstairs at the door of the restaurant, the mafia guys already drove their car over and parked it at the front.
Xu Cheng got onto the car, and when Lin Dong was about to drive off, their path was blocked off by Withers’s car.
This obviously meant Withers wasn’t about to let Xu Cheng leave.
Just when Withers got off the car and was about to go to Xu Cheng’s to open his door, who would’ve thought someone from the mafia would suddenly slam a baseball bat at his car’s window?
Bam!
Withers immediately turned around and shouted at the thug, “Hey!”
He immediately pulled out his gun and aimed at the guy.
The thug raised his hands. “Arrest me.”
Withers knew this b@stard was just trying to divert his attention.
Sure enough, when he turned around, Xu Cheng’s car already turned around and left. He could only drag that thug to the police station to file a report to get compensation.
– Afternoon –
Xu Cheng was sitting in an outdoor cafe on Pedestrian Street.
Withers, who already returned from the police station, found him, directly sat across from his chair, and looked at him. “Coming to cheat and plunder money again? I’m going to just watch you, and I will see how you managed to know the results of the gambling tables before they are revealed. I’m very shocked, are there actually insiders in the casinos helping you out? Is it the dealers? Just how did you guys do it? How did you get the final answer? Could it be that you already have a piece of technology that can see through everything on the table?”
Xu Cheng looked at him in the eyes and said nonchalantly, “Sir, in fact, you also know this case is very difficult to handle. It’s because these are legal casinos, and it’s normal for people to come in and gamble and leave with winnings. Besides, you guys have no evidence that these guys have been cheating. So, allow me to ask, what charges are you going to put on them? Just because the Las Vegas casinos pay a lot of tax money to you guys doesn’t mean you can’t allow guests to leave with money won, right? Or what kind of justice would that be?”
Withers angrily said, “I know you guys cheated, there must be moles on the casino side. Otherwise, your guys wouldn’t be looking at their phones before they place down their bets. It was you who is telling them the answers, right? So who the fack told you the answers? You must have a team behind you working on it, someone that can accurately predict the result or know the result. This is a crime!”
“Oh, really?” Xu Cheng revealed a devious smile. “You mean, we worked together with people inside the casino to achieve a profit? Then can you tell me, how did the people inside the casino find out about the results? For instance, the person that’s shaking the dice, strictly speaking, they probably don’t even know what number they shook, so your accusation feels a bit weak.”
Withers was exasperated. “But you guys were able to win every time, there must be some trick, and that’s illegal gambling.”
“Then how can we prove that we had no help from inside and it’s all based on our own capabilities?” Xu Cheng said.
Withers: “Sure, pass me your phone, let me see if someone sent you the answers and how you sent other people your answers. Or, just put your phone on the table unlocked right now and let’s see if there’s someone sending you answers.”
