Hong Kong Movies: I am Hongxing, what the hell is the intelligence king?

Chapter 355 How did Lin Sheng get up there?
what? !

Shangshan and Longwu both doubted that they had misheard.

"Mr. Lin... what did you say?"

"Why that expression?" Lin Feng looked at the two of them strangely. "I'm looking for someone whose gambling skills are similar to Gao Jin's!"

Long Wu's poker face couldn't hold back:

"Mr. Lin, this is no joke."

Going up the mountain, he bowed again at a 90-degree angle:
"Mr. Lin, thank you for your help."

"You don't need to worry about me. If we really can't find one, I'll just take over myself. Chen Jincheng is no good person."

Lin Feng stared at the two of them speechlessly.

"Is my reputation in Hong Kong alright?"

Long Wu said seriously:
"Who in the martial arts world doesn't know that your reputation is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

Lin Feng clapped his hands lightly:

"My boss once said, when you're in this business, you have to keep your word."

"I agree with that."

"When you're out in the game, all you care about is your reputation."

"To put it bluntly, my face is worth its weight in gold."

"I would never do anything to ruin my own reputation."

Shangshan and Longwu looked at each other, both filled with surprise and doubt.

"Okay, just pick any deck of cards."

Long Wu glanced at Shang Shan, who was extremely decisive:
"If Lin Sang tells you to take it, then go and take it."

Shangshan was also a gambler. His gambling skills were naturally not as good as Gao Jin and Chen Jincheng, but they were definitely not something that ordinary people could match.

"Lin Sang's suggestion to use gambling skills in a duel is an excellent idea."

"I want him to know that a master gambler is different from someone who gambles by luck."

Having made up his mind, Shang Shan was about to show Lin Feng what real gambling skills were all about.

That way, he'll realize the difficulty and back down.

Gao Jin encountered an accident, which made Shangshan very regretful.

He knew his skills were inferior to Chen Jincheng's, so he had to ask a skilled player to take his place.

That's right.

It wasn't Gao Jin who initially agreed to gamble with Chen Jincheng, but Shangshan.

However, Chen Jincheng's gambling skills were truly extraordinary, so he had no choice but to find a master to replace him when he went up the mountain.

The expert they had originally found had an accident—actually, it wasn't an accident, it was Chen Jingcheng who had sabotaged things. The gambling tycoon was most skilled at using crooked methods to manipulate other people's minds.

Threatening from outside the court to inside the court is his consistent tactic.

Unfortunately, he succeeded again this time!
"Lin Sang is so loyal, but I cannot let Lin Sang suffer for my sake."

Shangshan is a very particular social person.

The importance of things is clearly distinguished.

There were playing cards readily available in the room.

Lin Feng casually took the unopened playing cards, tapped them lightly, and the box disappeared, leaving only the playing cards in his hand.

Shangshan and Longwu's eyes lit up immediately. They looked at each other and could see the doubt in each other's eyes.

Where did Lin Feng put the playing card box?

Neither of them could see how he did it.

One of them is a gambling expert, and the other is a gangster bodyguard.

Both of them have exceptional eyesight.

But neither of them really saw how he did it.

Lin Feng smiled:
"I'm going to demonstrate my skills now."

Not daring to be negligent on the way up the mountain, he bowed again at a ninety-degree angle.

"Mr. Lin, please."

Lin Feng waited until he stood up straight, then took the cards in one hand and swiped them with the other.

The playing cards are spread out like a fan.

From the top of the mountain, it was very clear that the cards were arranged by suit from Ace to King.

"I wonder what kind of technology Lin Sheng will demonstrate!"

Lin Feng smiled:
"Don't blink."

He quickly closed the deck of cards and then wiped them with his hand.

The playing cards are separated again!
Ascending the mountain, his pupils suddenly contracted:
"How can it be?!"

What were originally fifty-two different playing cards have suddenly become the Ace of Spades!
That's right, fifty-two Aces of Spades!

Not one of them is different.

Everyone who went up the mountain was numb.

This card-switching technique is something any gambling expert could do.

The problem is, you can't see at all how Lin Feng did it while he was climbing the mountain.

What kind of technique is this?
Shangshan stared wide-eyed as he watched Lin Feng's hands move in opposite directions, the playing cards swaying back and forth like folding fans, following his every whim.

With each turn of the hand, the fifty-two playing cards began to change.

Ace of Spades, Two of Spades, Three of Spades... all the way to King of Spades.

Is it finished?
not at all!
Hearts A, Heart 2, Heart 3... all the way up to Heart K.

Then, clubs, diamonds.

When Lin Feng clasped his hands together and then separated them, the original fifty-two cards miraculously returned!
Lin Feng gave it another gentle tap.

Good heavens, the playing card box that he had put somewhere had all come back.

Please check it.

Lin Feng casually waved his hand, and the playing cards were already in Shangshan's hand.

I was stunned when I got up the mountain.

Long Wu was stunned.

Li Fu secretly curled his lip, thinking, "This is nothing."

When Brother Feng gambled with Lian Haodong back then, the card-changing techniques he displayed were far more sophisticated than they are now.
He took a deep breath and then suddenly bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle:

"Lin Sang's skills are superb; I was blind to his greatness."

"I beg Lin Sang to help me take revenge."

Lin Feng smiled:
"Didn't I say I'd be performing tonight?"

"Long Wu and I are good friends."

Long Wu's lips curled up slightly, seemingly very happy.

I almost cried while climbing the mountain:

"I'm so grateful!"

Lin Feng waved his hand:
"No need to be so formal. To be honest, I'm just itching to get out of this and want to see for myself."

"You don't need to be so polite."

I was still very grateful when I went up the mountain:

"Mr. Lin, today's bet is different from usual."

“If it’s a regular gambling game, then the VIP room in the casino across the street will suffice.”

"But today is a matter of grudges."

"We'll gamble on the high seas."

"There might be some danger."

Lin Feng didn't care about the danger at all.

Chen Jincheng?

Lin Feng wasn't laughing at him, but if Chen Jincheng really wanted to resort to underhanded tactics, their group wouldn't be enough to defeat him alone.

"High seas it is then."

"However, my schedule is very regular. After I finish gambling, I need to go home and rest."

Shangshan looked at Long Wu in astonishment, as he really didn't know anything about Lin Feng's daily routine.

“Lin Sheng’s work schedule is famous throughout Hong Kong,” Lung Wu explained. “He goes to bed at dawn and doesn’t get up before noon.”

He laughed heartily as he climbed the mountain.

"Then there's no problem."

"Mr. Lin, I really need to thank you properly. How about we have a meal first?"

Lin Feng smiled and said:
"It's my favorite food."

He said to the crowd,
"What you wear and what you carry are all for others to see."

"Only food is what truly goes into your stomach."

"I'm never careless about food."

Shangshan smiled and said:
"That would be even better. I've prepared some Shandong cuisine from my hometown for you. I hope you'll enjoy it."

Lin Feng was very surprised.

"Okamoto himself eats light food, how come you can get used to Shandong cuisine?"

He shook his head as he went up the mountain:
"Okamoto eats lightly, which is ultimately due to the publicity. If they can eat well, why don't they eat better?"

"It's all just propaganda from big businessmen."

Lin Feng largely agreed:

"They promoted it so well that you, who originally ate rice, were forced to eat noodles, and it even became a tradition."

Okamoto's geographical conditions are naturally suitable for rice cultivation, and ABCD went to great lengths to promote the benefits of eating noodles in order to open up the Okamoto market.

Their motto was, "Eating noodles is a noble thing, while eating rice is something the poor do."

Thus, in just a few years, the dietary habits of a nation were fundamentally changed.

This is the power of big capital, which is chilling.

Li Fu exclaimed in surprise:
"Can eating habits be changed through advertising?"

Lin Feng shrugged:

"That's normal."

"It's not just Okamoto, isn't it the same in South Korea?"

After he explained the situation, Li Fu remained silent.

However, going up the mountain allowed for a clearer view:

"We live in such a world, it's normal."

Normal ass!

From the perspective of people in my hometown, this is not normal at all.

Li Fu suddenly understood what Lin Feng had casually mentioned.

"Never look at the world through the lens of your hometown. If you do, you'll find that everyone else in the world is abnormal."

Li Fu didn't understand it before, but now that he thinks about it, he feels a chill down his spine.

The whole world is like a village; all the other countries are abnormal, only my hometown is normal.

But if we look at it from another perspective, isn't it true that everything is normal in other countries but not in our hometown?

It's impossible to change the mind of one's hometown; in that case, it's like the hometown is going against the world.

He remained silent for a while, then suddenly felt relieved. For more than a hundred years, his hometown had been at odds with the whole world, so what?

But so what?

Li Fu smiled as he watched Lin Feng's retreating figure.

"Is Gao Jin really unable to play?"

Chen Jincheng, who was wearing glasses, asked the person next to him.

"real!"

Chen Jincheng's staunch follower, Yang Zelin, replied.

Like boss, like underlings. Chen Jincheng, known as the "Gambling Demon," is a very eccentric person who is most skilled at using off-the-books tactics to gamble against others.

If possible, prevent the opponent from playing.

It's fair to say they'll stop at nothing to win.

Yang Zelin is even worse than Chen Jincheng.

At least Chen Jincheng accepted his loss after making the bet.

If you've exhausted all sorts of underhanded tactics and still can't win, then you really can't beat them.

Chen Jincheng admitted it.

Yang Zelin is completely different.

Even if he loses, he will do everything he can to win back the money he lost.

"Gao Jin's gambling skills are flawless."

"It's going to be very difficult for us to deal with him."

Are you sure he can't play?

Chen Jincheng cautiously confirmed.

“Mr. Chen, I’ve confirmed it.” Yang Zelin said with some pride, “According to the investigation, Long Wu invited the most famous cardiologist in Hong Kong to treat Gao Jin.”

“That hospital is a Hung Hing triad hospital; we can’t get in.”

"However, that cardiologist doesn't shy away from revealing Gao Jin's information to outsiders."

"I used a little trick to get all the information out of him."

Yang Zelin was quite pleased with himself.

Gao Jin was his enemy.

He was having a great time cheating big, fat sheep before.

Unexpectedly, Gao Jin insisted on getting involved.

He completely ruined his good deed.

Can this be tolerated?
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents; it is something that cannot be tolerated.

Unfortunately, Gao Jin only suffered from temporary amnesia and did not die completely, which made Yang Zelin very regretful.

"Don't be careless!"

Chen Jincheng frowned and pondered as he smoked his pipe.

If someone didn't know his true identity, they would think that Chen Jincheng was a refined and gentle person, a rare kind elder.

However, in the martial arts world, people only get their names wrong, not their nicknames.

"We can use underhanded tactics against Gao Jin, but it's hard to guarantee that the other side won't use underhanded tactics to mislead us."

Yang Zelin immediately became anxious:

"Mr. Chen, no way."

"Gao Jin has been staying in the community hospital and hasn't come out."

"My people are watching."

"However, that hospital is a special case because it is a Hung Hing triad hospital."

"Otherwise, my men will go in and kill him."

Chen Jincheng thought for a moment and asked:

"Could we use our connections in the martial arts world to take down Gao Jin?"

Yang Zelin shook his head with a wry smile:
"Hung Hing is now the top ten in the underworld, and even the Loyalty and Trust are no match for them."

"It is said that Lung Wu has a close relationship with Lam Fung of Causeway Bay and got into the triad hospital through Lam Fung's connections."

"Lin Feng holds a special position in Hung Hing."

"If it were someone else's relationship, we could still find a way."

"But Lin Feng..."

Yang Zelin did not continue speaking.

Chen Jincheng also understood what he meant.

Once someone reaches Lin Feng's level of status, they can do things beyond what is possible in ordinary circumstances.

"That's right."

"But if that deadbeat who went up the mountain can't get Gao Jin, who will he get?"

"Nie Wanlong?"

Yang Zelin smiled and said:

"I don't think he can get anyone to come."

"Everyone in the martial arts world knows that tonight is a bet between you and Gao Jin."

"Experts all have tempers."

"They disdain being someone else's stand-in."

Chen Jincheng thought about it and realized it made sense.

Letting him replace Gao Jin at the station would be disgusting to myself.

He would never do such a thing.

"Mr. Chen, we'll find out who will replace Gao Jin in the gambling game tonight anyway."

"Let's just wait and see."

Chen Jincheng sighed:
"Hey, Ko Chun is known as the God of Gamblers. I really want to experience his gambling skills."

"He disappointed me so much that he couldn't even get on the gambling table."

"It's really disappointing."

"There is only one Ko Chun in this world. It doesn't matter who takes his place tonight."

Chen Jincheng repeatedly expressed his regret.

Yang Zelin thought to himself, "Whose fault is it that Gao Jin didn't play?"
Wasn't it you who sent people to kill him?

But if it were Chen Jincheng instead, Yang Zelin would have done ten times worse to Gao Jin.

"Gao Jin is not fortunate enough to gamble against Chen Sheng."

Changing the subject, Yang Zelin said regretfully,

“Originally, we developed Gao Yi as an inside agent. Since Gao Jin is not playing, Gao Yi is no longer a useful pawn.”

Chen Jincheng asked in bewilderment:

"By the way, since you've recruited Gao Yi, why don't you get information about Gao Jin through him?"

Yang Zelin shook his head:

"It's not that I didn't want to, but after Long Wu learned that Gao Jin had gotten into trouble, he returned to Gao Jin's villa and happened to see Gao Yi about to attack Gao Jin's woman, Jenny..."

Chen Jincheng snorted coldly:
"He was so obsessed with women before things even got done; he deserved to die."

Yang Zelin shrugged.

To be fair, Gao Jin's girlfriend, Jenny, is indeed a great beauty.

Who wouldn't be attracted to such a beautiful woman?
Chen Jincheng isn't tempted? He's over sixty years old; even if he wanted to, he probably wouldn't be able to!
However, Yang Zelin could not say such things.

It was almost time to leave for the gambling ship when Yang Zelin pushed open the door, his face filled with shock:
"Mr. Chen, the person who will be gambling in place of Gao Jin tonight has come out."

Chen Jincheng disagreed:
"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not Ko Chun."

"Judging from your shocked expression, could the other party be Nie Wanlong?"

Yang Zelin quickly shook his head:
"No, this is a newcomer to the gambling world."

Chen Jincheng smiled:
"It seems that Shangshan has run out of ideas. Sending a newcomer to the stage is worse than sending Shangshan himself."

"Since they're all going to send me money anyway, I might as well have them come up the mountain to deliver it."

Yang Zelin was sweating profusely.

"Mr. Chen, the one participating in the gambling is Lin Feng!"

Chen Jincheng's pupils contracted:
"Lin Feng?"

"Lin Feng from Causeway Bay, Hung Hing?"

Yang Zelin nodded frantically.

Chen Jincheng's face was solemn:
"Everyone here is making a living through shady dealings, what is Lin Feng doing here?"

Chen Jincheng was quite troubled.

The gangsters are different from the Eight Thousand Heroes.

Although they all make money through unconventional means, the Eight Thousand Generals are essentially skilled professionals.

I naturally feel uncomfortable when I encounter people who frequent these kinds of gangs.

This is similar to the relationship between those who join gangs and those who are actually involved in organized crime.

"It's really troublesome!"

Chen Jincheng took a deep drag on his cigarette and sighed.
"Trouble!"

Chen Jincheng is not afraid of Lin Feng. If it were a competition at the gambling table, he would not stoop to using underhanded tactics.

What I fear is what will happen after the bet.

Chen Jincheng's underhanded tactics against Gao Jin and his associates were very effective.

But this kind of thing doesn't work at all on Lin Feng.

Chen Jincheng dared not!
I really wouldn't dare!
Hung Hing has 50,000 disciples in Hong Kong alone.

If he dares to do something underhanded to Lin Feng, even if he escapes back to Singapore, it won't matter.

The Hung Hing's disciples are all over the world.

It's not that easy.

Chen Jincheng felt a headache coming on.

"Can I refuse?" Yang Zelin had a terrible headache.

Like Chen Jincheng, he also didn't want to go up against Lin Feng.

"Going up the mountain has really presented us with a difficult problem."

Chen Jincheng felt a toothache.

Those who venture into the underworld need to have sharp eyes.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

To deal with ordinary gamblers, any off-the-books tactics are acceptable.

But you can try to deal with Lin Feng?

They might not even be able to leave the hotel.

That's not the most important thing.

If Lin Feng loses too badly at the gambling table, he might be hunted down.

A headache!
"Although Lin Feng has been in the martial arts world for more than ten years, he is only twenty years old. It is no exaggeration to say that he has achieved success at a young age."

"Such a young man is proud and arrogant."

"If they encounter any setbacks, they might do something drastic."

"But we simply cannot refuse."

Chen Jincheng's face turned bitter. Suddenly, he felt that this match, which he had been looking forward to for so long, was not exciting at all.

"People like Lin Feng value their reputation above all else."

"If you don't let him play, or don't accept his bets, believe me, he can hunt us down and wipe us out."

"so troublesome!"

When the Eight Thousand Men met the gangsters, it was truly a case of a scholar encountering a soldier – even if he had reason, he couldn't explain himself.

"We can only deal with things as they come."

Trouble!
Lian Haodong naturally also boarded the gambling ship. He looked left and right but couldn't find Lin Feng.

To be honest, he still wanted to stay by Lin Feng's side and listen to him explain the game between the God of Gamblers and the Demon of Gamblers.

"Strange, could it be that Lin Sheng didn't board the gambling ship?"

"With his gambling skills, how could he miss such a grand event?"

"Ah, why is Lin Sheng sitting at the gambling table?"

At this moment, not only Lian Haodong was stunned, but everyone was stunned!
