Chapter: 4136

As a result, the house took away Ye Chen's family and paid back two other families.

However, those two families bet very little, $100 and $200 respectively, so the house made up for its earlier losses and even earned some profit.

In reality, when the dealer was shuffling cards, Ye Chen had already noticed their movements.

These dealers were just like what He Lian did to trick Ma Lan back in the day - all of them were actually skilled card conjurers.

Card conjuring is not a special ability; it's just relying on fast hands and various special techniques and props, just like close-up magicians do.

The dealer in front of Ye Chen was also a skilled card conjurer. When shuffling cards, he hid the cards he wanted to keep at the position he desired, then used his extremely fast hands and specially trained memory to arrange the cards in the order he wanted.

However, his speed could fool ordinary people but not Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen didn't care.

Tonight, I'm going to become a God of Fortune, and immediately get Guo Lei to cook up a whole gang and send them off to Wan Ba Jun's place to do some heavy lifting. This little bit of money in Ye Chen's eyes was just like paying someone's head fee.

So he intentionally put on an expression of great disappointment and said, "Mom's, just one point short... I don't even believe it."

After saying that, he put in another 10,000 and shouted loudly, "Come again!"

Guo Lei was feeling great at this moment.

As the saying goes, "Ten gambles for nine scams", and the ones running the betting scene are the true pioneers of this art.

Just like Guo Lei, what he's playing is just the most common psychological warfare tactic.

First, let Ye Chen win two hands with a huge advantage, letting Ye Chen have a false sense of good luck tonight, and then use an extremely small advantage to win one hand back from Ye Chen, bringing all profits back.

He felt that this would make Ye Chen feel dissatisfied and think that he had only lost by just a little bit, and that the next hand could easily be won back.

And indeed, Ye Chen was behaving in such a way, which made Guo Lei feel that Ye Chen had already fallen into his trap, with every passing moment becoming more entrenched and deeper.

Ye Chen indeed did not disappoint Guo Lei's expectations, quickly sinking deeper and deeper into this game of Mahjong.

Just a little while ago, he had bet 100,000 chips and was already down by one dry card.

Guo Lei saw Ye Chen lose the last chip, his expression still somewhat unsatisfied, and immediately went up to console him, saying, "Mr. Ye, this game seems to be going against you every time. Let's take a break and calm down first. Just now, your score was already very high, I thought for sure you would win solidly, but unexpectedly the banker just edged you out by a little bit. It's really too bad."

Ye Chen looked at Guo Lei, slightly smiling, and waved his hand to say, "Victory or defeat is common in war. Besides, it's not worth talking about winning or losing with this amount of money. At most, it's just bait."

After saying that, he tossed the plastic bag at Guo Lei and gestured for him to take all the money and exchange it for chips.

Guo Lei received the cash Ye Chen handed over, his heart filled with joy, and immediately went to exchange it for chips in haste.

This time, he didn't prepare any 100-chip notes, only the smallest denomination being 1,000 chips, as well as 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 chips.

When he came back carrying the chips, he politely placed them in front of Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, please check your chips." JrNovels.com
