However, just to be on the safe side, the dealer still sent a few people to follow Xiao Shan to prevent him from taking the chips directly to the door to cash out and leave.
If Xiao Shan does this, then he will have no choice but to implement the casino's Plan Number Two.
Anyway, casinos can't afford to lose money.
This is precisely the difference between underground casinos and licensed casinos.
For a licensed casino, he has no fear of others winning.
Because when others win, it becomes a powerful advertisement for them, attracting more people to the casino.
Underground casinos, however, do not have this kind of structure!
Xiao Shan naturally noticed that since he left the dice table, there were several suspicious-looking guys behind him.
It seems they don't want to take their winnings out of the casino!
However, Xiao Shan didn't intend to take it out.
Not only Xiao Shan, but Allen also noticed that someone was following him.
"Xiao, should I go and call someone over?" Allen whispered to Xiao Shan.
Hong Kong is still under John Bull's control, and as one of John Bull's men, Allen has an absolute psychological advantage over these underground forces in Hong Kong.
Xiao Shan smiled and shook his head: "No need, I won't be taking the money I win out of the house anyway!"
After saying that, Xiao Shan led Allen directly to the innermost part of the casino.
This is exactly where you place bets on the No Limits Fighting Tournament.
In the very center stood a very large board, covered with the names of the contestants.
To make it easier for gamblers to place bets on their favorites, the casino thoughtfully wrote the contestants' names in both Chinese and English fonts.
The odds are shown after the name.
The odds were written with an oil pen so they could be easily erased and rewritten at any time.
After all, the odds fluctuate depending on the number of people betting.
Whenever someone places a bet, the odds will go up.
Furthermore, the odds offered by the three major underground casinos are not shared; each has its own set of odds.
Xiao Shan discovered that the odds following his name showed no signs of being changed.
This means that no one has bet on him in this casino.
Although Xiao Shan was also nominated by the newspaper as a favorite to win the championship, his odds were still quite low compared to other favorites.
Such odds simply cannot attract gamblers to place bets.
Upon arriving at the betting area, Xiao Shan immediately took out his winnings worth £10,000 and bet it all on his chances of advancing to the semi-finals.
The croupier in charge of recording looked at Xiao Shan with the eyes of someone looking at a sucker.
After all, most gamblers who come to place bets at this time will choose to bet on those players who have already made a name for themselves.
It's rare to see someone like Xiao Shan directly betting on a new player participating for the first time, and even betting £10,000 in chips at once.
It's important to know that even in the finals, it's extremely rare to beat so many people in one go!
However, since casinos are open for business, they won't refuse money offered to them.
Because Xiao Shan bet a large sum of money, the dealer not only gave Xiao Shan a receipt, but also carefully wrote down Xiao Shan's address and landline number.
Xiao Shan reported Luo Leming's address and landline number.
"Sir, after the competition results are announced, if the player you bet on wins, we will exchange your winnings for cash and deliver it to your door in person," the dealer said to Xiao Shan with a smile.
Hearing the dealer's words, Xiao Shan nodded in satisfaction.
Allen then bet all his winnings on Xiao Shan, and wrote down the same address and phone number.
The dealer was momentarily stunned by Allen's foreign appearance.
However, the dealer calmly registered Allen afterwards.
Seeing that Xiao Shan and Allen had so obediently bet all their winnings, the casino thugs following behind Xiao Shan went back to report to the previous dealer.
After all, the money they won at the casino has already been spent on the casino, so they won't keep targeting them.
Moreover, one of the two is a foreigner, so if a conflict were to break out, they wouldn't dare to really do anything to him!
Whether Xiao Shan and his gang can win their bet is not something these thugs care about.
After leaving the casino, Xiao Shan saw that it was still early, so he took Allen to another casino, intending to do the same thing again.
He still exchanged for £1000 worth of chips, and then stopped when he won £10,000 worth of chips, and then used those chips to place his own bets.
Just like the previous casino, once they saw that Xiao Shan and Allen had used up all their chips, this casino stopped paying attention to them.
By the time Xiao Shan and Allen came out of the second casino, it was already time to finish eating, so Xiao Shan didn't go and cause trouble at the third casino.
Xiao Shan asked Allen to take him to his hotel and treated Allen to a good meal as a welcome dinner for him!
Time flew by and the day for the start of the semi-finals arrived.
The semi-finals will last for two days. Sixteen contestants will be selected on the first day, and the four strongest contestants will be selected on the second day to participate in the semi-finals.
After breakfast, Xiao Shan and his group greeted Tan Chengjia and headed directly to the competition venue for the semi-finals.
Yesterday, Tan Chengjia successfully made contact with the patriotic individuals and confirmed their identities.
However, there are still some details to discuss regarding the handover of the data, including how to transport these data out of Hong Kong afterward.
Moreover, the identity of that patriot was very sensitive, and many eyes were on him, so Tan Chengjia's progress was relatively slow.
Although the contestants in the semi-finals were much stronger than those in the preliminary rounds, Xiao Shan's strength still allowed him to easily make it into the top sixteen.
Allen, who was watching from below, was somewhat shocked to see Xiao Shan successfully blend into the top sixteen.
Allen was surprised to find that Xiao Shan, who didn't look strong at all, was actually so powerful in combat.
So after Xiao Shan came down from the ring, Allen immediately rushed up to congratulate him.
Then they started asking Xiao Shan how he trained so well!
Xiao Shan, of course, smiled and fooled Allen, saying that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
Chapter 440, Xiaoshan is shocked! (Please subscribe!)
While convincing Allen, Xiao Shan led Allen to the arena where Yang Tai was competing to watch Yang Tai's match.
Compared to Xiaoshan, Yang Tai's situation is somewhat more difficult.
Of course, despite the difficulties, Yang Tai ultimately succeeded in making it into the top sixteen.
However, given Yang Tai's current form, it might be difficult for him to break into the top four tomorrow.
After leaving the arena, Xiao Shan said goodbye to Allen and then led the group back to their hotel.
When Xiao Shan and the others returned to the hotel, Tan Chengjia had not yet returned.
However, Tan Chengjia usually returned around dinner time, so Xiao Shan and the others didn't take it to heart and went to their rooms to rest.
But when dinner time came and Tan Chengjia was still nowhere to be seen, Xiao Shan began to worry.
Tan Chengjia hasn't returned yet; something must have delayed him.
Now it's a matter of whether this incident that delayed Tan Chengjia is a minor matter or a major one.
During dinner, Yang Tai looked at Xiao Shan and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Shan, Brother Tan hasn't come back yet. Could he have run into some trouble?"
"It's hard to say, maybe they just couldn't get a tram back!" Xiao Shan said casually while eating.
Since everyone was present during the meal, Xiaoshan couldn't say anything that might cause panic.
Tan Chengjia is their team leader. If something happens to Tan Chengjia this time, the others will definitely panic.
After dinner, Xiao Shan told everyone else to go back to their rooms to rest, while he and Yang Tai waited for Tan Chengjia to return in her room.
Time ticked by, and Yang Tai visibly grew impatient.
Yang Tai also knew some of the things Tan Chengjia needed to do in Hong Kong.
If John Bull's people find out about this, they'll probably be in big trouble!
Although they were not involved in Tan Chengjia's affairs, they did come to Hong Kong with him after all.
If Tan Chengjia gets into trouble, the two of them won't be able to escape either.
Seeing the agitated Yang Tai, Xiao Shan spoke up to calm him down.
When it came to nine o'clock in the evening, Yang Tai finally couldn't sit still any longer.
He stood up and said to Xiao Shan, "Brother Xiao Shan, I think we should go out and find out what happened!"
He felt he couldn't just sit and wait to die any longer.
Go out and find out what happened, so you can think of a way to deal with it.
Seeing Yang Tai preparing to get up and leave, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Tai, wait a little longer. Maybe Brother Tan is already back!"
Xiao Shan said this because he sensed Tan Chengjia's presence getting closer and closer to him.
This means that Tan Chengjia has actually returned.
However, Yang Tai did not believe Xiao Shan's words at all.
He took it as Xiao Shan trying to persuade him.
Just as Yang Tai was about to persuade Xiao Shan to go out and inquire with him, Tan Chengjia returned to the guest room, looking travel-worn.
Seeing Tan Chengjia return, Yang Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Shan noticed that Tan Chengjia had a furrowed brow and a serious expression.
Clearly, they've run into some trouble outside!
"Brother Tan, you're finally back!" Yang Tai said after Tan Chengjia sat down. "If you hadn't come back, Brother Xiaoshan and I would have gone out to look for you!"
Xiao Shan chimed in, "Yeah, why are you so late coming back today!"
"I've run into some trouble!" Tan Chengjia said with a wry smile.
Then Tan Chengjia took out a thick stack of documents from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Shan.
"This is the information we need. Hide it well!" Tan Chengjia said to Xiao Shan with a serious expression. "Xiao Shan, you must protect it with your life and bring it back!"
Seeing that Tan Chengjia looked like he was entrusting his son to someone else, Xiao Shan quickly took the documents from Tan Chengjia's hand. In front of Tan Chengjia and Yang Tai, he wrapped the documents in his own clothes and put them in his luggage.
But actually, when he reached into his suitcase, he threw all the documents inside his clothes into his storage space.
Watching Xiao Shan put the documents away, Tan Chengjia said to Xiao Shan and Yang Tai with a serious expression, "Now, Xiao Shan, A Tai, you two listen carefully to what I have to say..."
Seeing Tan Chengjia's obvious manner of making his final arrangements, Xiao Shan guessed that things had gotten quite bad.
"That patriot has been exposed. Before he was taken away, he risked his life to hand over the information to me, but I have also been exposed!"
"Although I shook them off on the way back, I reckon they'll be coming to check tomorrow!"
Tan Chengjia spoke very quickly: "You two must remember this: you know nothing, and you were not involved in anything!"
"Remember, you must do everything you can to attract everyone's attention in the No-Limit Fighting Tournament, and ideally become the champion. Only when enough eyes are on you will you have a chance to escape this ordeal and bring these documents back to the country safely."
"I definitely can't go back now, I can only rely on you guys!"
Tan Chengjia knew very well that his identity had been exposed and had attracted the attention of John Bull.
Even if he escapes with the documents, Hong Kong is now John Bull's territory, and he doesn't speak Cantonese, so where can he escape to?
Besides, what he cared about was not his own life, but whether he could successfully bring this stack of documents back to his motherland.
So after shaking off his pursuers, he thought for a very long time before deciding to entrust all the information to Xiao Shan.
Xiao Shan and Yang Tai were different from him; they were there to participate in the Unlimited Fighting Tournament in the real sense, and they had never acted with him before.
As for why it was handed over to Xiao Shan instead of Yang Tai...
This involves the relationship between Xiao Shan and Allen.
As long as John Bull doesn't have conclusive evidence that Xiao Shan is a spy, with Allen's connections, John Bull's people won't dare to do anything to him!
Looking at Xiao Shan, Tan Chengjia said with anticipation, "Xiao Shan, I'm definitely crippled now. From now on, it's up to you and Atai to handle things."
