The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1823 Zhang Cheng: "The eyes of men can deceive!"

Sunday arrived, and Zhang Cheng, carrying his fishing rod and bucket, continued to wait by the sea.

However, as the waves swept in, Zhang Cheng's expression contrasted sharply with the sunlight.

Looking up at the blazing sun, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, such a huge sea, and not a single blind fish! Holy crap!"

After being bombarded with profanities, Zhang Cheng was now so angry he was jumping up and down.
Just then, Teacher Tan Xin, who was walking by not far away, shouted, "Zhang Cheng, stop swearing!"

"Who the hell is so blind as to dare to talk to Teacher Tan like that!"

Standing up, Zhang Cheng, furious and ready to launch a tirade, noticed Teacher Tan Xin staring at him. He quickly flashed a bright smile and greeted her, a true successor of Sichuan Opera face-changing.

Pointing at Zhang Cheng, Teacher Tan stared at him and said, "You've finished your homework, right? I'll check it when you get back to school!"

Upon seeing Teacher Tan, Zhang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Understood, Teacher Tan!"

"Be civilized, okay? Don't swear!"

Rolling her eyes at Zhang Cheng, Teacher Tan turned and left.
After watching Tan Xin leave, Zhang Cheng angrily kicked the bucket away and said, "Puniam, what bad luck!"

Back home, Zhang Cheng put his things away and prepared to go out and find some fun.

His so-called entertainment was watching the middle-aged women argue at the market.
To be honest, this was one of the few pastimes Zhang Cheng had since arriving in Meiwang Town.
After all, you see a lot of people arguing at the market every day, and some even fight. This perfectly satisfies Zhang Cheng's gossipy little heart!

Just as Zhang Cheng stepped out, Ye Yibo stepped forward and said, "Zhang Cheng!"

"Uncle Ye? What's wrong?"

Hearing Ye Yibo call his name, Zhang Cheng turned his head in confusion.
"Where are you going? Come on, Uncle Ye will take you to a fun place today!"

Ye Yibo waved to Zhang Cheng, a smile spreading across his face.
Looking at Ye Yibo's weasel-like appearance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Because isn't this obviously problematic?

Looking at Ye Yibo, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Ye, where are you taking me to have fun?"

"Come here, Uncle Ye will take you to a place that's absolutely amazing!"

Ye Yibo gave Zhang Cheng a "friendly" smile, completely unaware that his eyes were like those of a blind fish.

Inside the bustling casino, the noise was deafening.
Looking at everything in astonishment, Zhang Cheng hadn't expected that such a place would exist deep within this alley.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ye Yibo smiled and said, "Zhang Cheng, let me tell you, making money is actually very simple. Look at you, your parents are gone, so you need to earn more money to study, right?"

As he spoke, Ye Yibo began to explain the various ways to play to Zhang Cheng.

Just as Zhang Cheng had learned these things under Ye Yibo's "earnest guidance," he whispered like a devil, "Want to give it a try?"

"Okay, Uncle Ye!"

Looking at Ye Yibo beside him, Zhang Cheng was smiling broadly.

A plan suddenly formed in his mind, and as he thought of it, Zhang Cheng's lips curled into a smile, like Tom the cat.
Upon arriving at the dice table, the dealer loudly proclaimed, "Place your bets now, place your bets now!"

Zhang Cheng took out a wad of cash, about three hundred yuan, and placed it directly on the table.

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, Ye Yibo hadn't expected him to be so reckless. He immediately stopped him, saying, "Zhang Cheng, you've just started. Why don't you go it easy?"

"No need, Uncle Ye, I know what I'm doing!"

As Zhang Cheng addressed Ye Yibo, his face was filled with a proud smile.
The next second, the dealer picked up the lid and said, "565, big!"

Amidst a wave of regret from the crowd, Zhang Cheng, holding the money, laughed and said, "Look, Uncle Ye, isn't this simple?"

The dealer glanced slyly at Zhang Cheng, but said nothing. He knew that with a hothead like Zhang Cheng, the casino could easily make him win everything back, no matter how much he won.

As the second round began, Zhang Cheng placed all his money on the big bet.

Watching Zhang Cheng's actions, the dealer shook the dice and immediately revealed them, saying, "664, big!"

However, right after the shout, the dealer looked surprised because something was wrong. How could it be a big win?
Despite noticing the stares of the other customers, the dealer still exchanged the money. However, his actions became more cautious afterward.

"Two, two, one! Small!"

Finally, the dealer got a "small" hand, and was about to be happy when he saw Zhang Cheng placing 1200 yuan on top of it.

With wide eyes, the dealer asked incredulously, "You bet on a small one?"

"Yes, little one!"

A smile spread across Zhang Cheng's face as he looked at the croupier, revealing his white teeth, as if he were a naive and inexperienced young man.
Swallowing hard, the dealer gritted his teeth and made the payment.

But after receiving the money, Zhang Cheng turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing Zhang Cheng about to leave, the people in the casino immediately stepped forward and said, "Young man, you've only been playing for a short while, why don't you play a little longer?"

Hearing their words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "The playground here is too small. Don't you have any bigger ones?"

"Young man, you want to go big? Of course, no problem, come on, let's go inside!"

He waved to Zhang Cheng, who then led him inside.
Following behind Zhang Cheng, Ye Yibo also wanted to go in, but was stopped.
After all, in the gambling world of Meiwan Town, who doesn't know Ye Yibo!

Not only did he accumulate a mountain of debt, but he also stole money from his own daughter. It's like he was born into a terrible situation!

But that's exactly what they're doing making money, so they didn't say anything.
"Hey, why are you stopping me?!"

Looking at the other person, Ye Yibo couldn't help but speak.
"You have no money, what are you doing coming in? Get out!"

Looking at Ye Yibo with disdain, the man next to him stepped forward, glaring at him fiercely.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Ye Yibo asked, "Did I bring him here?"

"Yes, Uncle Ye brought me here!"

When the others spoke up, Zhang Cheng quickly chimed in.

After exchanging glances, the group stepped aside to let Zhang Cheng and Ye Yibo in.

Upon entering the inner room, it was clearly much quieter.
It's roughly what it looks like after three rooms were combined; it's not only spacious but also feels grand.
He walked up to a table, watched them play cards, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Because isn't this Texas Hold'em?

After Zhang Cheng exchanged the chips and sat down in the chair, Ye Yibo stood behind him, acting as his strategist.

Holding his cards, Zhang Cheng kept them hidden underneath, not showing them to Ye Yibo at all.

However, as Zhang Cheng won more and more, Brother Bao in the casino noticed something was wrong.
Zhang Cheng, who only exchanged 2,000 yuan, has now nearly siphoned off a third of the casino's funds.

You know, that's a whopping twenty or thirty thousand!
In the early 1990s, when the monthly salary was just over a hundred yuan, twenty or thirty thousand yuan was enough to buy a life!

Approaching Zhang Cheng, Brother Bao smiled and said, "Young man, you've got great luck!"

"Brother, this is my first time here, I don't know anything. It was him, he made me do this!"

Speaking fearfully, Zhang Cheng pointed at Ye Yibo with his finger, then staggered and pushed back his chair.

Just as Ye Yibo was filled with confusion, more than ten cards suddenly appeared at his feet.
Their eyes met, and Ye Yibo looked at Zhang Cheng with disbelief on his face.

Looking at Ye Yibo, Brother Bao roared, "You son of a bitch, you dare to mess with my place?"

As he spoke, Brother Bao punched Ye Yibo in the face, sending him flying backward.

Looking at Brother Bao, Zhang Cheng timidly said, "Brother, I don't know anything. I'm still a student. Please don't hit me."

"Holy shit, Ye Yibo, you actually sent students to mess with me, you son of a bitch!"

He kicked Ye Yibo in the face; Brother Bao was now completely enraged.

Because if something happens to a "kid" like Zhang Cheng, Ye Yibo will be in big trouble. So Ye Yibo is trying to ruin him!
