Liu Xiaobao didn't let He Chaoqiong come closer; he didn't want to expose Hu Ruoling's identity.
"Miss Hu, I'm going out for a bit. Please make yourselves at home, don't be shy, just treat yourselves as your own home!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaobao gave Su Jie a wink and then led Su Jie to meet He Chaoqiong.
But just then, Long Liu gave Long Qi a wink, and Long Qi immediately followed behind Liu Xiaobao.
Seeing Long Qi following him, Liu Xiaobao understood that he was there to protect him, so he didn't refuse.
After greeting He Chaoqiong, Liu Xiaobao didn't let her into the house, and instead led Su Jie and Long Qi directly onto the helicopter.
After boarding, He Chaoqiong gave a hand signal to the pilot, and the helicopter immediately took off, heading towards Las Vegas.
Hu Ruoling, who was in the No. 9 mansion, saw this scene and muttered to herself.
"This Mr. Bao is no ordinary person. He travels by helicopter, which is even more extravagant than my dad's!"
Long Jiu then chimed in, "Ling'er, this is all corrupt bourgeois behavior. Don't be tempted!"
Hu Ruoling shook her head with a wry smile and said to Long Jiu, "Sister Jiu, what time is it? Why are you still talking about the bourgeoisie? Didn't the old leader say that if the country wants to progress, it must start with the progress of individuals? Otherwise, the people's lives will not become prosperous!"
Long Jiu chuckled sheepishly, "I was wrong, but Ling'er, you are different from us ordinary people. You absolutely cannot yearn for this kind of extravagant material life!"
Hu Ruoling nodded, but did not reply.
While Hu Ruoling and Long Jiu were talking, Liu Xiaobao on the helicopter was also talking to He Chaoqiong.
"Ms. He, are the procedures for the helicopter easy to handle?"
"What, Mr. Bao, you want to buy one too?"
"I have that idea!"
"If Mr. Bao likes it, I'll bring a helicopter as part of his dowry!" (abcj)
"Um... Miss He, the outcome is still uncertain. Let me meet with the gambling king first!"
Liu Xiaobao noticed that Su Jie and Long Qi were looking at him curiously, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It seemed that Su Jie and Long Qi thought he was living off a woman!
He Chaoqiong noticed Liu Xiaobao's awkwardness but didn't say anything more.
The helicopter was indeed much faster than the boat, and they arrived in Las Vegas in just over ten minutes.
It was not yet five o'clock.
"Mr. Bao, there's still an hour until six o'clock. How about I take you to the casino first?"
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaobao did not refuse: "Okay, let's go and see the unique features of the casino first!"
Pujing Entertainment City.
This was Liu Xiaobao's first time in Las Vegas, and his first time entering a casino. His understanding of casinos was very limited.
However, with He Chaoqiong explaining things to him, Liu Xiaobao quickly gained some understanding of the casino.
Led by He Chaoqiong, the group quickly arrived at the casino lobby.
Looking at the thousands of people gambling in the hall, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that shady businesses were indeed the fastest way to make cash.
With this kind of customer traffic, the casino must be making at least millions in revenue every day, all in cash.
What Liu Xiaobao didn't know was that what he was seeing now was just the commoner's gambling hall. The casino here didn't generate much revenue; the VIP gambling hall upstairs was much more profitable.
But at that moment, He Chaoqiong had already introduced Liu Xiaobao.
"Mr. Bao, this is the commoner's gambling hall. There's no entry barrier; you can gamble with just 100 yuan. The second and third floors are the VIP gambling halls, which require a certain amount of money to enter. The VIP gambling halls are where the casino makes the most money. Would you like to go upstairs and play a couple of rounds, Mr. Bao?"
Liu Xiaobao smiled and said, "Okay, let's play a couple of rounds!"
He Chaoqiong nodded and led Liu Xiaobao and the other two up to the second floor.
Sure enough, there were far fewer gamblers in the VIP gaming room on the second floor than on the first floor, but the chips on the table were noticeably larger.
At this moment, He Chaoqiong waved her hand, and a casino manager immediately ran over.
"Fifth Miss, what are your orders?"
He Chaoqiong said calmly, "Go and get ten million chips, it's on me!"
"Yes!"
After the casino manager turned and left, Liu Xiaobao smiled and said to He Chaoqiong, "Miss He is really generous, giving me ten million chips right off the bat. How could I possibly win your money with those ten million chips!"
"Boss Bao, just play however you like, don't worry about winning or losing!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao said no more. After the person in charge brought back ten million chips, he went to a baccarat table accompanied by He Chaoqiong.
Liu Xiaobao casually tossed out 500,000 chips and bet on the 'banker'.
Actually, Liu Xiaobao doesn't gamble, but he does know how to calculate the points on the cards.
In this round, he bet on 'Banker' and got 8 points, and 'Player' only got 9 points. He lost!
In the second round, Liu Xiaobao bet another 500,000 on the "banker" side, but the "player" side won again, and he lost once more.
In the third round, Liu Xiaobao changed his bet to 500,000 on "Player," but "Banker" won again, and he lost once more.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao thought that as long as he kept betting on one side and gradually increased the stake, he would eventually win it all back in one go. So he didn't change his bet on the fourth round and continued to bet on "Player" again, but this time the stake increased from 500,000 to 1 million.
But Liu Xiaobao seems to be having bad luck today; he lost this game again.
But Liu Xiaobao was not discouraged. In the fifth round, he continued to bet on "Player" as he had previously planned, and increased his stake to two million.
The result was that the banker won again.
This time, Liu Xiaobao's competitive spirit was ignited, and he became serious. He bet on "Player" again and put all the remaining 5.5 million chips in his hand on it.
Unfortunately, he bet on "Player" (8 points) and lost to "Banker" (9 points).
In just a few minutes, Liu Xiaobao had lost all ten million chips.
Looking at the empty table in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh. The speed at which casinos make money is truly astonishing. No wonder he had always heard people say that you can lose billions in one night in the gambling city.
"Boss Bao, shall we continue playing? I'll have someone send over some more chips."
Upon hearing He Chaoqiong's question, Liu Xiaobao shook his head.
"No need, one experience is enough. Gambling is something where the more you lose, the more unwilling you are to give up. No wonder the gambling king has such abundant funds; casinos really do make money fast!"

Hearing that Liu Xiaobao didn't want to continue playing, He Chaoqiong couldn't help but give him an appreciative look.
Born into the family of the gambling tycoon and spending many years in casinos, Pansy Ho naturally understands the psychology of gamblers very well.
She was truly gratified that Liu Xiaobao was able to overcome his competitive spirit and desire to win back his losses so easily.
At this moment, He Chaoqiong felt that the man she had chosen was quite good; his temperament alone was enough to match her.
He Chaoqiong's understanding of Liu Xiaobao was not as little as it seemed on the surface.
Even before Liu Xiaobao was officially introduced to the Xu family, He Chaoqiong had already begun investigating him.
Aside from Liu Xiaobao's own character, He Chaoqiong already knew everything about Liu Xiaobao in public. Liu Xiaobao's achievements far surpassed Xu Jinheng's, which was why she chose Liu Xiaobao as her husband.
So, while He Chaoqiong may have casually brought Liu Xiaobao to the casino for a visit, it was actually a test to assess Liu Xiaobao's character.
If Liu Xiaobao wins money and then greedily wants to win more, or if Liu Xiaobao loses money but irrationally only wants to win it back, in either case, He Chaoqiong will directly choose to cancel his meeting with the gambling king and stop this marriage transaction.
But now Liu Xiaobao's rational behavior has undoubtedly passed He Chaoqiong's test, and she feels that she can marry Liu Xiaobao with peace of mind.
So after hearing that Liu Xiaobao didn't want to gamble anymore, He Chaoqiong led him on another tour of the casino.
As for the ten million chips that were lost, neither He Chaoqiong nor Liu Xiaobao took it seriously.
After all, these ten million chips were just a matter of going from one hand to the other, and ultimately ended up in the He family's pocket.
While leading Liu Xiaobao on a tour, He Chaoqiong also gave him a general overview of the situation in the casino, so that he would have some understanding of the situation and not be clueless when he met the gambling king, thus leaving a bad impression.
Liu Xiaobao didn't really understand the situation in Las Vegas. He only knew that Las Vegas would undergo a reshuffling after the handover, breaking the He family's monopoly in Las Vegas.
As for other matters, Liu Xiaobao knew absolutely nothing.
However, based on this important information that had come to mind, Liu Xiaobao had already vaguely guessed some things.
He didn't mention his speculations about the future to He Chaoqiong; he simply followed her around and strolled around.
After visiting the casino, He Chaoqiong led Liu Xiaobao for a stroll through the streets of Las Vegas. At 5:45, He Chaoqiong finally had the driver take them to the He family home for their appointment.
At 5:58, Liu Xiaobao, accompanied by He Chaoqiong, stepped into the He family's gate.
Upon entering the He family mansion, Liu Xiaobao saw the gambling king He Hongshen and the three women beside him.
"Dad, Mom, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, I'm back!"
Upon hearing the title of He Chaoqiong, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but feel envious of the gambling king He Hongshen.
This is the kind of life Liu Xiaobao longs for! To marry several wives, live together in harmony, and live happily ever after.
While it may seem that Stanley Ho is currently enjoying a lot of romantic opportunities, is his family life truly harmonious?
At least Liu Xiaobao could tell from just one glance that the three wives of the gambling king He Hongshen did not seem to get along well.
However, when they saw He Chaoqiong bringing outsiders home, they immediately became amiable and all became dignified and virtuous.
"Greetings, Senior Gambling King! Greetings, Aunties! I've come to bother you today!"
