In a phone call with Tim Haggis, Xiao Yao said that he would pay for all the purchases in Las Vegas. Tim Haggis said that he would leave tonight, and after Xiao Yao hung up the phone, he contacted the hotel front desk and booked a room for Tim Haggis in advance.

Since Tim Haggis was coming, Xiao Yao did not rest. In the middle of the phone with Tim Haggis to ask about the situation, after estimating the approximate time of his arrival, I went down to the hotel lobby a little earlier to wait to meet him.

It takes about four hours to drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Tim Haggis departed in the evening and arrived at the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, where Xiao Yao was staying, in the early hours of the morning. At this time, there were not many people coming in and out of the hotel door, and when Tim Haggis entered the hotel with his luggage, Xiao Yao, who was waiting in the rest area next to the hotel lobby, immediately spotted him and stood up to greet him.

"Tim!" Xiao Yao smiled and opened his arms.

"Jan!" Tim Haggis was slightly surprised, then smiled and opened his arms to hug Xiao Yao, and patted Xiao Yao on the back vigorously.

It's early in the morning. Seeing Xiao Yao sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for him at this time, Tim Haggis was happy and a little moved at the same time, and the unhappiness of being coerced by Xiao Yao to come here disappeared.

"The hotel room was booked for you, you need to check in. After the two separated, Xiao Yao said to Tim Haggis.

"I'm living alone?" asked Tim Haggis, "and Tiana is coming to LV too?"

After the New York airport hijacking that year, Tim Haggis was responsible for protecting Xiao Yao closely, and he also knew Sun Tingting. When Xiao Yao talked to Tim Haggis on the phone before, Xiao Yao did not mention Sun Tingting, and Tim Haggis thought that Sun Tingting did not come, but Xiao Yao did not say on the phone that Sun Tingting did not come, so Tim Haggis was a little suspicious.

"No, I'm coming alone. Xiao Yao said, "You helped her in the case in New York back then." If she comes, why won't she come down to greet you?"

"Then why live separately?" asked Tim Haggis.

"This is not the task you were assigned to by the police a few years ago. Xiao Yao said, "I only need you to accompany me outside, I don't need you to protect me 24 hours a day, of course we live separately!"

"I heard you've proposed to Tiana. Tim Haggis said deliberately, "Do you want to~"

"It's none of your business!" Xiao Yao also said deliberately.

"No! I'll tell you, Tiana and I are friends too. Tim Haggis bent two fingers and pointed at his eyes, and then at Xiao Yao, "I'm going to help her keep an eye on you!"

"I've been here for days before you came!" Xiao Yao reminded.

The implication of this is that if I wanted to do something, I would have done it a long time ago.

"I wasn't there then, and I didn't know, so it's none of my business!" said Tim Haggis, "but not when I was!"

"Okay, you win!" Xiao Yao was defeated by Tim Haggis's boredom, and said helplessly, "We live together, but the old rule, change suites, we have one bedroom for each person!"

When Tim Haggis was protecting Xiao Yao in New York, the two lived like this.

So, Xiao Yao went to the hotel front desk to return his room and the room he had booked for Tim Haggis, asked for a new luxury suite, and explained to the front desk that he wanted to move his luggage and change the room.

Tim Haggis had to pack his luggage, Xiao Yao had to change rooms to move his luggage, such a toss, and it was already early in the morning, Tim Haggis drove another four hours of night train, and the two of them had no interest in talking, and after they were done, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Tim Haggis was woken up by Xiao Yao's knock on the door.

Tim Haggis, who was woken up, grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table and glanced at it, and found that it was only six o'clock, struggling to get up and open the bedroom door, and said to Xiao Yao at the door: "Yang, don't tell me you're going out at this time!"

"I'm not going out!" Xiao Yao, who was dressed in sportswear, smiled, "I asked you to get up and ask you to go to the hotel gym for an early exercise!"

"Who told you I had a habit of exercising early?" said Tim Haggis, scratching his hair, grimaceous.

"You!" Xiao Yao said, "I remember you told me back then that you were in very good physical condition and had the habit of exercising early!"

"I had just transitioned from commando to agent!" said Tim Haggis, "I'm a senior agent now, and I'm not in the habit of using my brain more than force." ”

"Then get this habit back!" Xiao Yao said, "Since you are already up, then go with me!"

"No!" Tim Haggis shook his head.

"As a police officer, you should have physical requirements for yourself. FBI agents are a dangerous profession, and the better your fitness, the better your safety. Xiao Yao said, "As your friend, it's okay if you don't see it, but since I'm here, I can't watch your physical fitness continue to collapse like this." I decided, during this time, I will wake you up on time every day and pull you to the gym with me! ”

"The same suite?" Tim Haggis leaned against the door frame and tilted his head to look at Xiao Yao, "Are you taking revenge?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Yao smiled, "But if we hadn't stayed in the same suite, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of going to another room to wake you up." ”

"Whether you're retaliating or not, I'm not going!" Tim Haggis glanced at Xiao Yao and raised his hand to close the door.

Xiao Yao leaned his foot against the door and said with a smile: "The bedroom is in the suite, don't worry about affecting others." I'll keep banging on the door so you can't sleep!"

"Bastard!" Tim Haggis said angrily, "Beware of me beating you!" and Tim Haggis raised his fist.

"Although you used to be a commando in the FBI, you may not be able to beat me!" Xiao Yao said, "Either let's fight, it can be regarded as a good way to exercise." ”

"You~" Tim Haggis glared at Xiao Yao.

"I don't believe you're going to shoot me for this!" Xiao Yao raised his fist and said, "Either we'll have a fight in the living room, and if you win, I'll listen to you and promise not to disturb you in the morning." If you lose, as long as you live with me in the future, you can go to the gym with me every morning!"

"Does the hotel gym have a boxing ring?" Tim Haggis asked Xiao Yao, feeling a little more energetic.

Tim Haggis has long known that Xiao Yao is very skilled, but whether it is the New York airport hijacking case or the robbery and kidnapping case of New York Fashion Week, Tim Haggis has read the case file and listened to Xiao Yao and others' descriptions, and has not seen Xiao Yao do it with his own eyes. In the murder case at the Chambers School of Music that year, he worked with Xiao Yao to arrest the suspect Wyatt, but he only saw Xiao Yao parkour flying over cars and climbing over iron gates, and Xiao Yao did not see the situation of subduing Wyatt and doing it with three onlookers.

In fact, Tim Haggis, who was born in the FBI commando, has long wanted to compete with Xiao Yao, but due to the identity of the other party's star, he has always felt embarrassed to mention it. Now Xiao Yao has offered to say that Tim Haggis really wants to fight Xiao Yao.

"I don't know. Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Wait for me to change!" said Tim Haggis, "If the hotel gym doesn't have one, let's go out and find a boxing gym!"

"Good!" Xiao Yao saw that Tim Haggis was no longer asleep, and withdrew his foot blocking the bedroom door.

If you want to know if the hotel gym has a boxing ring, you don't necessarily have to go to the hotel gym. Taking advantage of the time for Tim Haggis to change clothes and wash up, Xiao Yao called the hotel switchboard to inquire about it, and he knew the result. The hotel's gym did not have a boxing ring, so Xiao Yao asked the main station to help him rent a car.

"There is no boxing ring in the hotel gym!" Xiao Yao said to Tim Haggis after he came out, "The gym should not be open at this time, let's go to the gym to practice for a while, and then have breakfast." I'm going to the casino during the day, and we'll find a gym to fight at night!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you today!" Tim Haggis nodded.

Although Tim Haggis did not exercise as frequently as he did during his time as a commando, he did not exercise as much as he did during his time as a commando. The habit of exercising early is not completely abandoned, it is just that it is not insisted on every day.

The two went out of the suite together, went to the gym to work out, then came back to take a shower and change clothes, and then went to the restaurant for breakfast together.

Breakfast time is also a relatively long communication time between the two.

"What's your specific itinerary for today?" After exchanging their latest situation, Tim Haggis turned to the topic and asked Xiao Yao while eating.

"Morning to Venetian Hotel Casino and afternoon to Pooh Casino. After dinner, we found a boxing gym to fight. Xiao Yao said, "I used to call a taxi or taxi when I went out, but when two people went out together, I felt that it was awkward to take a taxi or call a taxi, so I asked the hotel to help me rent a car, and we drove ourselves." I mean, you open!"

"You're asking me to be your bodyguard and driver?" asked Tim Haggis.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Of course, I won't let you be the kind of driver who waits for me outside the casino all the time." You have two options: First, come with me to the casino. Second, after you send me to the casino, I can move freely, eat whatever I want, play wherever I want, and I will be responsible for the expenses. Before I leave the casino, I will call you in advance, and you can come and pick me up. ”

"Of course you choose the second one!" said Tim Haggis, "didn't you invite me because you were afraid that the casino would not be good for you? In the gambling hall, of course, the people in the casino will not do anything to you in front of other guests, but what if they get you into their office?"

"Oh, that makes sense!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I thought you wanted to see how I counted cards, so you would choose the second one!"

"You~" Tim Haggis glared in surprise, then nodded and admitted, "Well, I'll admit it, that's a reason too!"

After breakfast, the two came to the hotel front desk. Xiao Yao has been on the phone for a while, and the vehicle on the hotel's side has already been prepared. Xiao Yao signed the room card to go through the formalities, received the car keys, and the two set off.

The two drove to the Venetian Hotel, parked their car and headed straight for the casino.

After Xiao Yao entered the door, he went to the chip exchange office to exchange 250,000 chips, handed 50,000 of them to Tim Haggis and said, "Let's play!"

"I'm not playing!" Tim Haggis refused, shaking his head in decline.

Tim Haggis takes it for granted and doesn't have any psychological burden, but it doesn't take Xiao Yao's money to play in the casino, Tim Haggis doesn't think it's appropriate.

"I know, you want to see how I count cards," Xiao Yao leaned closer to Tim Haggis and whispered, "but if you just watch me play from the sidelines, and you don't play at all, it's easy to get the casino's attention, and it's easy for the casino to notice me and let the casino see that I'm counting cards!"

"Okay," Tim Haggis asked, taking the chips, "what if I lose?"

"If you lose, you lose, I'm for you, not for you!" Xiao Yao said, "I said, all the expenses you spend on LV will be paid by me." ”

"And what if I win?" asked Tim Haggis again.

"Pay me back the principal!" Xiao Yao said, "As for whether the winning part will give me dividends or not, how much you give, whatever you want!"

"Yes!" laughs Tim Haggis.

"Let's go!" Xiao Yao pulled Tim Haggis as he walked, "Card counting is a game at 21 o'clock, but our purpose is not so obvious, let's play other events first." ”

Xiao Yao took Tim Haggis to play in the casino for about an hour before finally moving to a table at 9 o'clock.

Tim Haggis and Xiao Yao are at the same table, but Xiao Yao only plays according to his own card counting routine, completely ignoring the bet amount on Tim Haggis's side and whether he wants cards.

Although Xiao Yao gave Tim Haggis 50,000 chips, he did not plan to help Tim Haggis win money this time as he did for the gambling girl on the first day at Caesars Palace Casino.

First of all, Xiao Yao told Tim Haggis that he could count cards, but he didn't plan to tell him that he could count two cards at the same time. Xiao Yao doesn't plan to tell anyone this secret for the time being. In addition, the casino can see that Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis are together, Xiao Yao wins, Tim Haggis wins and loses, and the two people perform differently, which is conducive to the casino to reduce the possibility of judging Xiao Yao as a card counter. Because under normal circumstances, the companions of the card counter are teammates in the team, and it is rare for a card counter to play with an ordinary person.

Tim Haggis's attention was mainly focused on watching how Xiao Yao counted the cards, and he didn't care much about winning or losing. Despite having a lot of chips in front of him, Tim Haggis started with a minimum amount of money per bet and was very casual about whether or not to hit.

Xiao Yao wants the casino to know that he and Tim Haggis are together, so he will whisper a few words to Tim Haggis from time to time during the game. Xiao Yao's seemingly more relaxed and casual performance than Tim Haggis made Tim Haggis not feel that Xiao Yao was counting cards at all. In addition, Xiao Yao's game is a game of winning and losing, and he can't see the principles and laws at all.

Looking at Xiao Yao's card counting, there is no clue at all, Tim Haggis is a little disappointed and frustrated, but in another aspect, Tim Haggis has gained. Despite Tim Haggis' casual play, he had good luck and the result was a win. The only thing to lose is that Tim Haggis has a minimum amount of bets and doesn't win much.

After finding that Xiao Yao's card count could not see the clue, Tim Haggis finally focused more on his cards. As a result of the initial win, Tim Haggis slowly increased the amount of his bets.

Finally, when the morning passed, when Xiao Yao beckoned Tim Haggis to finish leaving, Tim Haggis counted the chips in his hand and actually won thousands of dollars.

"I want to take back what I said last night," Tim Haggis said to Xiao Yao after redeeming his chips and leaving the house, "I think you specialize in this, and it may be more profitable than you make movies." ”

Tim Haggis can play 21 points, but he plays very little, he can't talk about any experience and skills, and winning money is purely by luck, which is naturally incomparable with Xiao Yao. Tim Haggis won a few thousand of his 50,000 chips, while Xiao Yao won more than 230,000 of his 200,000 chips, more than doubled.

Although Tim Haggis didn't see how Xiao Yao counted cards, he knew that Xiao Yao could win so much, definitely not by luck like him, and the so-called card counting must have played a huge role in it.

"It's a pity that this kind of thing can't last!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "The casino will see it sooner or later!"
