Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

At 9:30, the two teams of lawyers went up to the betting table.

A beautiful female dealer said, "Before the game begins, please have both sides' lawyers verify their respective betting funds. Each side must have at least 20 billion US dollars."

The previously noisy sounds quickly quieted down.

Everyone took their seats.

The verification of the gambling funds was completed quickly.

After hearing the results of the investigation by both lawyers, the beautiful dealer announced loudly, "Mr. Wang's bets consist of US$17 billion in cash and 13 percent of Lin's Real Estate shares."

"Mr. Hong Sihai's betting capital is US$12 billion and thirty commercial buildings scattered throughout the interior."

"After calculations by both sides' lawyers, the stakes on both sides exceed 20 billion US dollars, without any problem."

"Now I will announce the rules of the game..."

"Please note that this betting game lasts only two hours, and the player with the most chips wins."

"If Mr. Wang Xingyu wins, the Guo Group is obligated to cooperate with Mr. Wang in handing over these thirty commercial buildings."

"If Mr. Hung Si-hai wins, Lam's Properties will be obligated to cooperate with the Kwok Group to acquire 13% of the shares and become a shareholder of Lam's Properties."

"I now declare the game open. Please welcome Mr. Wang Xingyu and Mr. Hong Sihai to the venue."

Hong Sihai, dressed in a suit and leather shoes polished black and shiny, walked towards the gambling table with a smile.

Wang Xingyu was still wearing loose sportswear and slippers.

The two sat down and stood facing each other.

Hong Sihai looked Wang Xingyu up and down and said, "Mr. Wang is much more handsome than I saw in the video."

Wang Xingyu nodded and said, "I admit that."

"Hahaha"

The people in the hall burst into laughter.

Hong Sihai smiled and said, "It seems Mr. Wang is very confident!"

Wang Xingyu said, "If you could come up with 20 billion US dollars entirely on your own at the age of 28, you might be more confident than me. Mr. Hong, you're betting 20 billion US dollars on behalf of the Guo Group with me. Have you considered how you'll explain it to the Guo Group if you lose?"

Hong Sihai chuckled and said, "What a coincidence. I'm also very confident, because I'm the gambling king of Hong Kong Island, and I've never lost at the gambling table. Mr. Wang, you don't need to put psychological pressure on me; it's useless."

Wang Xingyu shrugged and said, "Okay, then I guess what I said earlier was nonsense."

The beautiful dealer waved her hand, and two beautiful women in cheongsams each came up carrying a tray.

There were one hundred chips on the tray, each chip representing two hundred million US dollars.

The beautiful dealer opened a new deck of cards, drew two Kings, inserted them into a shredder and shredded them, then asked Wang Xingyu and Hong Sihai to examine the cards.

Hong Sihai's hands moved incredibly fast; the fifty-two playing cards seemed glued to his grasp as he washed them several times before placing them on the table, saying, "No problem."

The beautiful dealer looked at Wang Xingyu, who said with a helpless expression, "I don't know how to shuffle the cards, let's get started."

"OK."

The beautiful dealer put the playing cards into the shuffling machine, shuffled them three times, and then took them out.

Wang Xingyu and Hong Sihai each took out a chip and threw it out, and the game officially began.

Hong Sihai said, "I want to cut the first three."

The beautiful dealer immediately put the top three cards into the food processor.

Wang Xingyu smiled and said, "I won't cut, deal the cards."

The beautiful dealer dealt cards to the two men with clean, efficient movements and incredibly skillful technique.

Wang Xingyu knew that his hand was extremely bad; his highest card was only a 10.

Hong Sihai is a pair of couplets.

Wang Xingyu's decision not to cut the cards was merely a deliberate act of weakness.

After the cards were dealt, Hong Sihai's face-up card was the King of Hearts, and Wang Xingyu's face-up card was the 2 of Spades.

Hong Sihai lifted a corner of his trump card, glanced at it, and remained expressionless.

"Is Mr. Wang still not going to look at his cards?"

Wang Xingyu laughed and said, "Let's see after the third card is dealt."

The beautiful croupier said, "Mr. Hong, please speak."

Hong Sihai immediately threw out ten chips and said, "If you want to see the third card, then please put out two billion US dollars."

Wang Xingyu followed without hesitation, laughing, "You made such a big move just now, I thought you were going to go all in, it gave me quite a fright."

"Pfft."

Many people couldn't help but laugh.

Huang Zhen said to Lin Jianhao, "Xiao Wang seems very relaxed."

Lin Jianhao nodded and said, "Just relax."

Soon, the third card was dealt.

Wang Xingyu has a 3 of Hearts, and Hong Sihai has a King of Clubs.

The beautiful croupier said, "Mr. Hong, please speak."

Hong Sihai chuckled and said, "Mr. Wang, it seems your luck isn't so good this round."

Wang Xingyu glanced at his hole cards and said helplessly, "My luck really isn't great. You don't need to bet anymore, I'm not calling."

Hong Sihai was taken aback and said, "You're not going to follow anymore? You don't seem as confident as you said before."

Wang Xingyu revealed his hole card, the 10 of hearts, and said, "A 2, 3, and 10 of different suits can't make anything. I'd have to be out of my mind to keep calling."

Hong Sihai nodded and said, "There's really no need to continue this game."

In the first round, Hong Sihai won 2.2 billion US dollars, while Wang Xingyu suffered a setback.

Lin Fuliang slapped his thigh and said, "The situation is not good."

Lin Jianhao glanced at the agitated Lin Fuliang, then at the composed Wang Xingyu on stage, and sighed inwardly.

The difference is huge!

The second game begins.

Hong Sihai cut the first three cards again.

Wang Xingyu said, "I don't believe your luck will always be this good, no way."

As a result, Wang Xingyu lost another 2.2 billion US dollars.

Guo Jun's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Mr. Hong has shown his strength."

Guo Ren said, "It's too early to be happy. Wang Xingyu's emotions have not been affected by the two consecutive defeats."

Guo Jun looked at Wang Xingyu, and sure enough, Wang Xingyu's face showed no sign of dejection, but was still smiling. He couldn't help but admire Wang Xingyu's strong heart.

In the third round, Hong Sihai discarded the first three cards and said, "Mr. Wang, are you really not going to discard any more cards?"

Wang Xingyu laughed and said, "There's a saying in Xia: 'Once is enough, twice is enough, but not a third time,' so I'm not going to cut it."

Hong Sihai shook his head and said, "You are really too stubborn."

Wang Xingyu said, "I just lost 4.4 billion US dollars, right?"

Hong Sihai said, "Yes."

Wang Xingyu said, "This time, I will win back all 4.4 billion US dollars."

Hong Sihai smiled and said, "Then I wish you good luck."

Wang Xingyu does indeed have a chance to win this game.

Because his hand was much stronger than Hong Sihai's.

The most crucial point is that the difference between the two players will only become apparent on the fourth card.

Therefore, Wang Xingyu has a very good chance of winning.

After the first two cards were dealt, Wang Xingyu looked at his Ace of Hearts, laughed heartily, and said, "See? Luck has come my way."

Hong Sihai glanced at the hole card, which formed a pair of Queens with the face-up card, and said, "Mr. Wang, this is only one card."

Wang Xingyu said, "Sometimes just one card is enough. Four billion US dollars."

"Splash!"

The scene erupted in uproar.

No one expected Wang Xingyu to make such a big bid on his first call.

Hong Sihai was also slightly taken aback and said, "Mr. Wang, you are too hasty and too stubborn."

Wang Xingyu revealed a corner of his card, then quickly put it down, saying, "I was afraid my third card would be too strong and scare you away, so I decided to go all in at once."

Hong Sihai laughed and said, "How could that be? I'll go with you."

The beautiful dealer dealt the third card.

Wang Xingyu had a 4 of spades, while Hong Sihai was in an even worse situation, having a 2 of clubs.

"Even a small 4 can speak, looks like my luck is about to change this round. Five billion US dollars."

Wang Xingyu counted out twenty-five chips and threw them in.

Hong Sihai's pupils contracted slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Your trump card isn't an Ace, is it?"

Wang Xingyu laughed and said, "Yes, and maybe not. Mr. Hong, please don't treat me like a fool, okay? I certainly won't tell you my trump card."

After asking the question, Hong Sihai kept observing Wang Xingyu's micro-expressions, but unfortunately, Wang Xingyu's expression management was too good, and he couldn't see anything.

"I agree."

Hong Sihai's expression turned serious.

When the fourth card was dealt, Hong Sihai completely lost confidence.

Because Wang Xingyu drew an Ace of Clubs, making a pair of Aces.

The beautiful croupier said, "Mr. Wang, please speak."

"No need to say anything more."

Hong Sihai closed his cards and said, "I'm not playing anymore."

Wang Xingyu laughed and said, "Mr. Hong, I guess your trump card is a Queen?"

Hong Sihai asked, "Why did you make this judgment?"

Wang Xingyu said, "Because you asked me if my hole card was an Ace, it means you're afraid I have a pair of Aces, not a pair of 4s."

Hong Sihai revealed his hand, saying, "You guessed right. Mr. Wang, are you Ace?"

Wang Xingyu shook his head and said, "It's not an A, it's a 4, but that doesn't matter now."

Hong Sihai sighed and said, "Mr. Wang, you still lack experience."

Wang Xingyu was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

Hong Sihai said, "I've been observing you, and now I know your micro-expressions when you get good cards."

Wang Xingyu smiled and said, "It's no use."

Hong Sihai asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xingyu pulled a face mask from his pocket, tore open the packaging, and stuck it directly onto his face, leaving only his eyes exposed. He asked, "Can you still tell anything now?"

"puff"

"Holy crap."

"No way?"

"That's absolutely amazing."

"Such a big bet, and they still manage to play it like this."

"I'm truly impressed by Mr. Wang, more than any other person."

......

The audience burst into laughter.

Zhou Qianya laughed so hard she was doubled over, saying, "This guy is hilarious."

Even the usually aloof Zhao Jiancheng couldn't help but laugh, "But I have to admit, his move was very effective."

Hong Sihai was both amused and exasperated, saying, "Mr. Wang, you were well-prepared for this."

Wang Xingyu said, "Last time I was able to beat Young Master Guo, it was all luck. Mr. Hong, I've seen your profile. You're an extremely skilled micro-expression expert, and your gambling skills are far superior to mine, so my only chance of beating you is still to gamble with luck. I thought about it all night, and finally came up with this plan. I hope you don't mind."

In fact, Wang Xingyu did this simply to dispel Hong Sihai's suspicions.

He didn't want Hong Sihai, who was an expert in micro-expressions, to find out that he could see through both sides' true intentions.

Hong Sihai gave a thumbs up and said, "This is not a bad strategy, but the best strategy."

Wang Xingyu looked at the beautiful dealer and asked, "Is what I'm doing against the rules?"

The pretty dealer pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and said, "It's not against the rules."

Wang Xingyu said, "That's fine then, deal the cards."

In the fourth game, Wang Xingyu did not let Hong Sihai cut three cards again, but instead, like when he won against Guo Jun, he chose to keep only the last ten cards.

Hong Sihai smiled and said, "You want to replicate your previous victory?"

Wang Xingyu nodded and said, "I have that plan."

The last ten cards were excellent; Hong Sihai had three Aces and two Jacks, almost the highest possible full house.

He himself had four 2s and one 6, which was slightly higher than Hong Sihai's.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hong Sihai is very likely to go all in this round, and Wang Xingyu will definitely follow suit.

Sure enough, after the first two cards were dealt, Hong Sihai's hole card and his face-up card were both Aces, while Wang Xingyu's hole card and his face-up card were both 2s.

"Mr. Wang, your condition is not good."

"It's only two cards, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm worried you won't agree. So let's stick to the old rules, two billion US dollars."

"Call it. It's just two cards, nothing to be afraid of."

Hong Sihai's third card was a Jack, and Wang Xingyu's third card was a 2.

The beautiful dealer said, "Mr. Wang Xingyu's hand is a pair of 2s. Mr. Wang, please speak."

Wang Xingyu laughed heartily and said, "I told you, no rush. That was two billion US dollars just now, this time it's five billion US dollars."

Hong Sihai had two Aces and one Jack, so he wasn't afraid and said, "I'll call."

Everyone perked up.

Lin Fuyang said in a deep voice, "Victory or defeat may hinge on this very round."

Lin Fuliang stared intently at the big screen, took a deep breath, and said, "Only people with strong hearts are fit to gamble. Anyone with a weaker mentality would probably be trembling right now."

Lin Jianhao said calmly, "Are you convinced now?"

Lin Fuliang and Lin Fuguang both looked at Lin Jianhao.

Lin Jianhao asked, "If you were Xingyu in his place, could you have acted as calmly as him?"

Lin Fuguang was silent for a moment, then said, "No."

Lin Fuliang said with a wry smile, "I can't either."

Lin Jianhao sighed and said, "You simply look down on Xingyu and have never tried to understand him. But anyone who understands him is captivated by his charm. I am, Old Huang is, and so are those big shots in Yandu. Xingyu is a divine dragon soaring in the heavens. The two hundred billion US dollars that you are so worried about is probably less important to him than a single hair on Xiaoxin'er's head."

Huang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes. Those who chase fame and fortune will eventually be bound by them. Only Xiao Wang never chases fame and fortune. Because fame and fortune are too insignificant to bind this extraordinary person. Elder Lin, you are truly lucky. With his help, Lin Yingfan's achievements will surely far surpass yours."

Lin Jianhao smiled and said, "I hope so."

Lin Fuliang and Lin Fuguang exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of regret in each other's eyes.

If they had known Wang Xingyu was so capable, they wouldn't have treated him like he was nothing.

"Whoosh!"

The scene erupted in uproar.

On the fourth card, Hong Sihai played an Ace, while Wang Xingyu played a 6.
