Chapter 17: Jester's Gamble

Yi Chen and Fattadio stood on the top deck, indifferently watching the countless crowds of people come to see off the maiden voyage of the Duke of Windsor. Fatadio carefully held a cigar in his trembling hand, and pointed and said, "These people, really, are really boring, but they are just a ship going to sea, where is there anything to see?"

Yi Chen smiled and said: "This is people's real surname, what important activities can they participate in, and they also have some bragging capital in the future, which can show how different they are from the people around them, I probably think that this can improve their status a little, right?"

Fatadio grinned, and said to the red round in the east: "Well, we will soon leave the sea of the dear old English lady, how about we go down and have a little fun? Hehe, the boss does not allow us to gamble more than a million dollars at a time, and it is still okay to play less than a million, well, how many hands can we play a little with?"

Yi Chen smiled: "I'm also a little interested, just to get some pocket money." "Yi Chen forces Kane to play mahjong with him every time, but it doesn't have any taste, this time it's just a good time. Among several of his cronies, Fili is not interested in playing with money at all; Phil, Gore, and Kane are all sensible people who don't use money indiscriminately; Jester doesn't have the concept of money at all, and if he can eat and dress well, he can basically get by; as for Chekov, that's a miser, don't think he leaks a penny to gamble.

In the long whistle, countless colored confetti flew all over the sky, and the ribbons were linked between the people at the head of the bed and the hands on the dock, and then they were pulled off alive, and the half-broken ribbons fell into the water, and immediately lost their original bright colors and became gray and obscure. Huge salutes exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of white smoke, and the destruction and destruction of nature by human beings was extremely clearly exposed at this moment.

Yi Chen watched more than a dozen private yachts swimming with the 'Duke of Windsor' nearby, and couldn't help but raise his hand and aim his palm at those yachts. Fatadio quipped beside him: "Aha, Mr. Yi, if you were Superman, you could smash these yachts like eggs now...... Whew, oh, superpowers. Fatadio and Yi Chen laughed together, Fatadio felt that he had said a very humorous joke, and Yi Chen thought viciously: "If Lao Tzu really smashed these yacht eggs, hehe, hehe...... You're not scared of you, kid?"

Flocks of seagulls followed the cruise ship very skillfully, and from time to time there were seagulls undulating on the white trail at the tail of the cruise ship, and their little paws seemed to bring up a little scale. Jester, who was standing beside them, stretched out his bright red tongue, licked it around his thin lips, and said in a loud voice, "Do you have air rifles on board?" ”

Fili quit and complained to him, "Jester, these birds are so cute, why are you willing to hit them?"

Jester shrugged his shoulders and looked at Fili, a soft-hearted little girl who didn't bother to talk to you. Firi kicked it in the face, almost smashing hundreds of icicles to Jester like she did in her hometown.

Yi Chen muttered a few words dissatisfiedly: "Sven, Sven...... It's all elegant gentlemen here, damn it, don't embarrass Lao Tzu. The two who were about to fight looked at each other, hummed a few words, and ignored each other. Jester followed two of Fatadio's assistants to the pool to see if they could get something fishy to eat, and Yi Chen put his arm around Fili and sat down with Fatadio on a circle of sun loungers, drinking juice and starting to ramble on small talk.

A handsome young man in a sky blue uniform with a few gold trims embroidered on his cuffs walked over and whispered to Fatadio: "Sir, you have booked a private room, have you? We will soon leave the English seas, you can prepare for three guests from New York who want to play a few games with you." ”

Fatadio shoved a bill into his hand, waved him away, and said with excited hands: "Aha, American devil, fuck, it's fun to win anyone's money without winning theirs...... China Yi, you, you have to help me testify, I met the boss later, I didn't gamble too much, I want to let these New Yorkers lose their pants. ”

Yi Chen laughed: "Fatadio, dear Fatadio, do you have a grudge against the Americans?"

Fatadio said indifferently: "The whole of Russia has hatred with them. If it weren't for them, how could our powerful country suddenly disintegrate?"

Yi Chen said in a hearty manner: "However, if the Soviet Union had not collapsed, would you have the amount of money you have now? Can your boss have the power to be in such a beautiful situation first?" Oh...... My dear, everything has to be divided into two different aspects, you hate the Americans for plunging your homeland into darkness, but the behavior of the Americans has led you to heaven. Is this really a strange logical circle?"

Fatadio was stunned for a long time, thought hard for a long time, nodded and said: "I admit that what you said is true, if it weren't for the Americans to make trouble, I'm afraid I would still be a middle school teacher in Siberia...... However, I still hate the Americans, so I want to win all the money from them. "It seems that Fatadio is very confident in his gambling skills.

Yi Chen said disapprerovingly: "It is better to conquer them at the poker table than to destroy them on **." Some people like to say that it is the most wonderful thing to conquer one's opponent mentally, but I think that only by completely destroying the opponent from the top is the safest. It is possible for a mentally ill person to stab you, but a person whose body has been reduced to pieces is unlikely to cause harm to himself under any circumstances, is it?"

Fatadio was stunned again, bared his teeth, and said sullenly: "China Yi, I can't talk about you, your words are always full of dark philosophy...... However, we can't destroy each other on the cruise ship, so we have to let them wear underwear to Yanjing to watch the Olympics...... If it is in Siberia. Fatadio looked sinister, and his hands drew a big circle: "If it were in Siberia, I would let them dig uranium, and I would treat these Yankees well." ”

Yi Chen smiled and whispered, "Hmm, is the hatred between nations so strong? ”

Fatadio was fluted for the third time today, and he groaned: "China Yi, I suddenly remembered, you are Chinese?"

Yi Chen's face was a little gloomy, and he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Fatadio tilted his head and looked at Yi Chen for a long time, Yi Chen looked at his clothes a little strangely, there seemed to be nothing wrong?

Yi Chen glared at Fatadio fiercely: "What are you looking at, is there something wrong with me?"

Fatadio nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's very wrong." I heard, I heard that you are cooperating with Yu himself? Strange, which of the Chinese I met was not extremely ruthless to Yu himself? Strange, strange, are you really cooperating with the Yamaguchi-gumi?"

Yi Chen nodded, leaned back in the chair and said, "Yes, your information channels are very well-informed, but...... Is there any hatred between myself and the Chinese? Hmm? Is there a hatred that makes all Chinese hate Yuben? Strange, I didn't know these things before. ”

Fatadio almost fainted, he was already a little nervous, and there was a 'clucking' cry in his throat, but fortunately, a crew member next to him saw that something was wrong, and pounced on him and hammered him on the back a few times, and Fatadio gasped. Yi Chen was a little depressed and still gave the crew a few large bills, looked at Fatadio and said, "My dear, you must pay attention, do my words make you like this...... Can't...... Unbelievable?"

Fatadio snorted miserably, shook his head again and again, and said: "Dear China Yi, you should look through the modern history books of China, God, I can't imagine ......"

As if out of concern for Yi Chen's pride, Fatadio skipped the subject, shook his head and said, "Hey, we should go to the high seas, right? All the private yachts are back, well, we can go down." ”

The handsome young man just now had already come this way, and the crew members along the way greeted him very respectfully: "Hello Mr. Second Officer." Yi Chen snapped his fingers and said, "Well, sitting in the second mate position at such a young age, it seems that this kid is very promising." ”

Fatadio said secretly, "Second mate, no, he's a pimp, a well-known person in some fields. If you're interested in a female crew member on the ship, you can't go for him, and he can even arrange for some special ladies to accompany you...... Oh God, I don't mean anything else. He threw up his hands and begged Fili for mercy.

Yi Chen didn't bother to pay attention to the sour Fei Li and the constant forgiveness of Fatadio, and pondered in his heart: "Damn, modern Chinese history? I am very familiar with the history of the Seven Heroes of the ancient Warring States...... Modern history? That's about 500 years, right? If you have time, I really want to read some books about China, otherwise I don't look like a Chinese. ”

In the splendid VIP private room, next to a large gambling table, three middle-aged people wearing short-sleeved clothes with bells and whistles, a pair of gray and white beach pants below, holding three blonde beauties who don't know whether they are wives, lovers or courtesans in their arms, are drinking champagne and playing with a few banknotes in their hands.

Fatadio walked in tremblingly, with an extremely uncomfortable smile on his face, his trembling hands stretched out, and he held the hand of the New Yorker closest to the door tightly, and said excitedly: "You are Americans? Great, come on, come on, Americans are high rollers, haha, green dollars, so beautiful." ”

Yi Chen smiled and looked at Fatadio's moist and cold hands, which made the American's brows furrow, and he withdrew his hand a little unpleasantly. The middle-aged man with long sideburns like Elvis Presley sitting in the middle pointed at Fatadio: "Mr. Fatadio......? It's good, it's good, my name is Bill, they all call me Wild Boar Bill, well, don't talk nonsense, we're all here to have fun. ”

Fatadio smiled, sat down in the chair opposite Bill, looked up and asked Yi Chen, "China Yi? Why don't you have a hand? Come to think of it, these American friends are all broad people with a lot of dollars." ”

Yi Chen smiled and nodded: "What are you playing?" I don't know how to play poker, but ...... I can play a few games with you, and I'm still good at dice and roulette. Yi Chen smiled and sat down, and Fili leaned against him.

Jester and two of Fattadio's assistants were approached by the crew, carrying two small suitcases containing a total of two million dollars in cash.

The two bodyguards standing in the corner of Bill also came up with a small suitcase, but this one was much larger than the box of Fatadio and Yi Chen. Fatadio grinned, picked up a bottle of red wine from the wine cart next to him, poured a glass for Yi Chen, and then poured a sip into the bottle himself, as if he had changed into a different person, and shouted loudly: "Oh, dear, let's open the cards." ”

The dealer who arranged the cruise was a beautiful woman, very shrewd and capable, she divided her hands, smiled and said: "Everyone, in order to avoid troubles and disputes in the future, you can check the gambling table and nearby facilities now." Our cruise ships guarantee that everything is under the most complete monitoring, and it is difficult to cheat with us. However, we do not guarantee that some paranormal means may be used here, so I can only guarantee my absolute fairness. Is that okay?"

Fatadio said nonchalantly: "I've never been afraid of others cheating, whatever." Yi Chen smiled, took out his jade pendant, gently turned it in the palm of his hand a few times, and nodded. Bill and they didn't care, chased the woman in his arms away, and motioned to start splitting.

Yi Chen's luck stinks, it stinks, he is not very good at playing 21 points, so, although he can directly see Bill's cards, but Yi Chen, who is not very good at calculating cards, still loses a mess.

However, it was smooth sailing for Fattadio, his luck was good, his technique and psychological warfare were first-class, and after the dusty suitcase was half empty, Bill and their suitcase were all empty......

Fatadio rubbed his hands proudly, put his nose in front of the pile of dollar bills in front of him, took a hard breath, and said intoxicatedly: "The ink of the dollar bills is really of good quality, especially the dollar bills flowing out of the hands of the Americans, oh God, it's wonderful, this taste, it's wonderful." Yichen and Fili almost laughed, and Jester shivered, as if he had seen Chekov's slug again.

Bill's face was extremely pale, especially when Fatadio returned Yi Chen's 520,000 yuan to Yi Chen, he slapped the table angrily and shouted: "You two are in a gang?"

Fatadio rolled his eyes, stood up like a trembling rattlesnake, and said viciously: "What do you mean? Aren't you three wild boars together?"

The two bodyguards behind Bill and the other two companions took a few steps forward aggressively, Yi Chen quickly picked up a poker card from the table, flicked his two fingers lightly, white light flashed, and a bloody mark appeared on Bill's nose. Bill was stunned for a moment, Yi Chen gently shook the jade pendant on his finger, and said with a cruel smile: "Dear Mr. Wild Boar, if your subordinates are still so polite, this jade pendant of mine will hit your eyes, do you say it is the left eye or the right eye?"

The dealeress's two assistants quickly separated Jester and Fatadio, and said kindly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 'Duke of Windsor' cruise ship, you don't want the scandal of fighting each other to spread half of Europe tomorrow, right? ”

The second mate led a few of the officers in and said with a smile, "Dear friends, the luncheon is about to begin, don't you want to enjoy the snails cooked by the top French chef?"

Bill angrily led people out, and when he came to the door, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Evening, there is a boxing match tonight, let's bet again, I'll single you...... Fatadio, you remember, I'll single your bet. Mr. Second Officer, I hope you can arrange it for me. The second mate smiled and nodded in agreement.

Fatadio laughed, and so did Yi Chen. Fatadio casually threw more than a dozen stacks of banknotes to the dealer and the second mate, then tilted his head, and put his trembling hand on the shoulder of the second mate, revealing a smile that made the second mate a little creepy, his face came to the second mate less than ten centimeters in front of him, and asked him softly: "Honey, wild boar Bill...... What are you doing? Are you so arrogant?"

The second mate laughed: "Mr. Fattadio, we can't leak any news with the guest **. The female dealer had already walked out with a few other crew members, closed the door with her hand, and the camera lenses in the four corners of the room suddenly turned 180 degrees and aimed at the wall.

Fatadio smiled and said, "Well, no, let's say, let's say, I'd like to know!" grabbed a bundle of bills from the table and stuffed it into the second mate's pocket.

The second mate insisted: "Sir, oh, don't do this, we are principled, we can't leak any ...... related to the guest"

Yi Chen interrupted him by interjecting: "Dear Second Officer, principles and even chastity have a price, and I have always believed in this...... Hehe, give me all the information about Bill, you ...... You can take half of the dollars in my suitcase. ”

The second mate didn't make any squirming gestures, just smiled and began to escape the money in the suitcase and put it on the table, and when there were still fifty stacks in the suitcase, he closed the lid and carried it in his hand. Yi Chen's eyebrows raised, and he said with a smile: "Okay, give us the information we want to know?"

The second officer didn't talk nonsense, smiled and whispered: "His superficial information is the manager of a stock exchange in New York, but someone in our crew knows him, he is a ...... in New York, USA Well, a high-ranking backbone member of a family from Italy, a very difficult person to mess with. Gentlemen, God testifies, I have not said anything. ”

Yi Chen smiled: "Oh, the American family members of the mafia? dear, you can go, we won't leak your situation." ”

The second mate opened the door and walked out, suddenly turned around and smiled and said, "I agree with what this gentleman from China said, everything has a price...... No matter how noble the young ladies are, their chastity also has a price, and I very much agree with this view, which simply covers all the truths of the world. He smiled and walked out with his suitcase.

Fatadio cursed in a low voice, "Shit, this bitch. ”

Yi Chen laughed: "He's a pimp, isn't he? what's the difference between him and a bitch? tonight's boxing match...... Fatadio, do you have any good comments?"

Fatadio said helplessly: "Fuck, if I had known that there was such a thing, I would have brought the boss's personal bodyguard over, what kind of black market boxing, he is also a master." It's a pity, it's a pity, damn it, boxing is different from gambling, and you can't control it yourself. ”

Yi Chen smiled, looked at Jester next to him who was grinning like a monkey, and said to Fattadio with a smile, "Can we send someone to compete?"

Fatadio nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we can send fighters to fight with their chosen fighters, of course, this has to be requested in advance." However, usually such fighters have been trained like hell, where do we find such people now......? Dear China Yi, do you have a way?"

Yi Chen smiled, pointed at Jester and said, "Jester is a good fighter, and he will be happy to win us a lot of dollars......"

Jester laughed contentedly, and in the shocked eyes of Fatadio and his two assistants, punched through the three-inch-thick teak table.

Yi Chen applauded softly: "Mr. Jester, tonight, you will be the protagonist, I hope you don't disappoint me, I will throw 20 million dollars in bills on you, if you lose, jump into the sea, swim to Shanghai by yourself...... Of course, don't overdo it. The last sentence was to tell Jester not to use power beyond ordinary people's imagination, and Jester nodded in agreement.
