He had just married a policewoman when he was diagnosed with criminal genius.

Even without any surprises, it's still a win for Lu Chen.

So he was happy to play a few more rounds with the other person.

"What should I call you, elder brother?"

"Wang Qiang," Wang Qiang replied, but his eyes were fixed on the cards in Lu Chen's hand, not blinking.

No one around Wang Qiang found his persistence unusual—everyone thought he was just a middle-aged man who refused to admit defeat and was unwilling to accept losing a few rounds.

However, in the next hand, Wang Qiang shuffled the cards himself.

He shuffled the cards several times, turning them over and over, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he hand the cards to Lu Chen with peace of mind.

Lu Chen took the cards and, without shuffling them again, began dealing them directly.

At this moment, everyone's eyes, whether it was Wang Qiang, the surrounding onlookers, or the hundreds of thousands of people in the live broadcast room, were focused on Lu Chen's hand.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes were fixed on his every move.

However, no one noticed anything unusual.

Just as Lu Chen was about to deal the cards, Wang Qiang suddenly shouted again, "Wait!"

He stared at Lu Chen's hand, a shrewd glint in his eyes: "This round—deal the cards to yourself first, then deal them to me."

After the previous defeat, Wang Qiang figured out a thing or two: Lu Chen must have tampered with the dealing order, keeping the good cards for himself and dealing the bad cards to him.

So this time he wants to disrupt Lu Chen's rhythm.

Lu Chen smiled, said nothing, and obediently sent one to himself first, then one to Wang Qiang. He repeated this process until all three cards were sent.

"What you're holding is—Q, K, A, straight gold," Lu Chen said casually, his tone as indifferent as if he were commenting on the weather.

Wang Qiang's hand holding the cards trembled violently.

How is that possible? How did he know?

He looked down at the cards in his hand, refusing to believe it.

Three hearts – Q, K, A.

In Texas Hold'em, the second strongest hand after the three of a kind is the straight flush.

But Wang Qiang was not happy at all.

He looked up at the smiling young man opposite him, and a chill ran down his spine.

Could it be... that he really is the God of Gamblers?

Wang Qiang gritted his teeth and revealed his cards.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Holy crap...it really is Shunjin!"

"Damn, this hand isn't small! But it looks like... it's a trap."

"Tell me, with this hand, who wouldn't want to take a gamble? It's like turning a bicycle into a motorcycle!"

"Playing cards with Brother Lu is fucking easy to get ripped off..."

"It's so yin, so incredibly yin."

At this point, the viewers in the live stream understood: when playing cards with Lu Chen, never assume you're invincible just because you have a strong hand. His hand will always be slightly stronger than yours.

"My hand still consists of three Aces." Lu Chen gently spread out the cards in his hand.

Three Aces.

This result was already commonplace for everyone. If Lu Chen could so easily discern what cards his opponent held, how could his own hand be anything less?

Many people just can't understand why Lu Chen could still control the cards dealt to himself and others when Wang Qiang had already asked Lu Chen to change the order of dealing the cards.

Actually, this is just a relatively basic technique in cheating – "dealing two cards".

Simply put, it looks like the top card is being dealt, but depending on your speed, you might actually be dealing the second, fourth, or even fifth card.

For a "king of gamblers" like Lu Chen, this is just basic skill.

"Want to play again?" Lu Chen asked with a smile, looking at Wang Qiang, who had his head down.

Wang Qiang then came to his senses and realized that he had lost again.

He gave an awkward twitch of his lips: "I'm not playing anymore... I'm not playing anymore."

He said he was done playing, but his mind was still racing: How exactly did Lu Chen cheat?

If he could have figured out the trick, he wouldn't have lost. What a pity.

But he also knew that it would be tactless of him to keep asking people to hang out with him.

Moreover, people like Lu Chen who cheat are a minority.

He suddenly remembered—he'd never lost a thousand at the underground casino he frequented. He'd even won three thousand last time.

How about... we go and make some more money tonight?

These two games against Lu Chen completely reignited his gambling addiction, which he had managed to suppress.

Wang Qiang became increasingly excited as he thought about it, his eyes filled with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

He only remembered winning three thousand yuan last time, but selectively forgot that in less than a year, he had lost more than three hundred thousand yuan on it.

Lu Chen was all too familiar with that look.

This is what it means to be addicted to gambling.

Seeing Wang Qiang turn and leave impatiently, Lu Chen made a plan in his mind.

Based on his understanding of gamblers, even if they lose two rounds in a row, the other party will not reflect on their mistakes. Instead, they will think that they didn't see things clearly enough—once they understand, they can win.

Moreover, those two moves I just made have completely aroused the other person's addiction.

He was quite confident that Wang Qiang was probably itching to play a few rounds right now.

However, before taking action, he had to inform his wife first.

Lu Chen walked to Jiang Xue's side and lowered his voice, "Wife, is there anything else for me to do here?"

Jiang Xue nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of the finishing touches."

"Okay, I'll be going now. You guys get back to work." Lu Chen said, turning around to follow Wang Qiang in the direction he had left.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"What? Wife? That beautiful policewoman's husband is Brother Lu?"

"It's over... I'm heartbroken."

"I already disliked that kid, and now I dislike him even more."

"Handsome guys really do go well with beautiful girls..."

"Speaking of which, Brother Lu is the policewoman's husband—what about those guys who wanted to cheat on her? Aren't they embarrassed now?"

"Haha, that was pretty embarrassing."

"No wonder Brother Lu wouldn't let them win a single round. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't let them win either."

The young people playing cards at the scene had a somewhat subtle change in expression after hearing Lu Chen call Jiang Xue "wife".

Asking for someone's wife's green bubble in front of her husband... that's really embarrassing.

After those two rounds of Texas Hold'em, the number of viewers in the police station's live stream has exceeded 600,000.

This number is unprecedented; not even the live broadcast room of any public security bureau in the country, let alone the provincial level, has ever been this lively.

This was the height of the atmosphere. According to Lu Chen's plan from last night, now was the perfect time for the police station to promote the ban on gambling.

Jiang Xue stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Friends, the game segment is now over."

"As you can probably see, Lu Chen definitely cheated, otherwise he couldn't have kept winning."

"But what I want to say is that although this is a game, it also has a cautionary message."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd and then towards the camera in the live stream.

"As the saying goes, 'nine out of ten gambling games are scams,' and that's no exaggeration."

"As we just showed you, gambling is essentially an elaborate scam. The house can use rules, cheating, and even psychological manipulation to ensure that players always lose."

"What we just did was to show everyone this cheating method in the most direct way."

"This is only because we deliberately let everyone know we were cheating. What if we had done it more discreetly?"

She paused for a moment, letting her words resonate in everyone's hearts.

"What if we let the player win a few rounds at the beginning, and then start cheating once they've gotten carried away and are blinded by greed?"

In the live stream, the pace of the comments suddenly slowed down.

Many netizens who initially flocked in with the intention of watching the spectacle have now begun to think critically.

Upon closer reflection, many people developed goosebumps.

A chill ran straight up to the top of my head.
