202: Here, my rules are the rules.
“Patriarch Zheng, don’t be in such a hurry to discipline your son. Let’s first resolve the matter of him cheating here before discussing anything else, what do you think?”
From Wang Zhennan’s words, Zheng Yongnian could probably piece together the general outline of the entire incident.
He took a step forward, walked to the gambling table, and his face darkened as he looked at the two sets of cards on it.
“Mr. Wang saying this suggests you’ve found evidence. If so, please present it. If it truly was my unworthy son who cheated, then I will certainly give Mr. Wang an explanation. Otherwise, even if your Heavenly Palace Group is immensely wealthy, this is Macau, and here, my Zheng Family is not to be trifled with.”
Hearing his threatening words, Wang Zhennan didn't take them to heart at all, and said with a smile, “Want evidence? That’s simple. Someone, search Young Master Zheng.”
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes fell on Zheng Tianhong. The two security guards from the hotel, hearing this, didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly walked towards Zheng Tianhong.
Knowing he couldn't resist, he simply allowed the security guards to search him.
However, his face was tense as he looked at Zheng Yongnian, as if asking for help.
Because he knew exactly what he had on him.
The two security guards patted him from head to toe, even searching his hair.
In a short while, under everyone's gaze, the security guards actually found several playing cards on him.
“Holy cow, he really cheated! I thought…”
“No, don’t stop halfway. What did you think? You didn’t think Mr. Wang was turning things upside down, did you?”
“Hehe, you guessed right.”
Zheng Yongnian's face darkened at this scene, but he still argued, “Even if he has playing cards on him, that doesn’t prove he cheated, does it?”
Wang Zhennan immediately burst out laughing at this, “Hahahahaha, I knew you’d say that. Don’t rush, there’s more.”
After speaking, he clapped his hands and said, “Bring those sets of cards over.”
The dealer, initially stunned, quickly reacted and swiftly turned to walk towards the gambling table where Zheng Tianhong had been playing earlier.
After the dealer brought the cards over, he gestured for her to spread them out, one deck at a time.
Everyone couldn't help but crane their necks curiously, wanting to see what was different about these cards.
After all, if they were to be used as evidence, there must be something peculiar about them.
Compared to everyone's curiosity, Zheng Tianhong, on the other hand, felt utterly disheartened.
“Oh, it seems there are duplicate cards, and also missing ones.”
“No, the missing cards seem to be among those found on Zheng Tianhong.”
“No wonder, no wonder he could win ten and lose one. god of gamblers, so that’s how he became one.”
“Heh, you seem to look down on him. If you had his skill, you could also be a god of gamblers.”
“Heh heh, if that’s the case, forget it. Even the most meticulous plan has its flaws, and there will always be a time when a weakness is exposed, just like now. No matter how clever the trick, wasn’t it still exposed by Mr. Wang?”
“With such conclusive evidence this time, Patriarch Zheng probably has nothing more to say.”
Indeed, Zheng Yongnian could no longer find an excuse; the casino had surveillance.
Saying more would not only be meaningless but also invite ridicule.
“Patriarch Zheng, do you have nothing to say now? Of course, if you want to deny it, you can say that my people tampered with these cards.
You can also say that I had someone tamper with the surveillance. If that’s the case, then you can leave with your son.
Not only can the person leave, but the more than one billion on the gambling table can also be taken away.”
As soon as Wang Zhennan said this, the crowd was in an uproar and fell into confusion.
These were undeniable facts, so why would Wang Zhennan do this?
This left them completely baffled, as if he was deliberately trying to find an excuse for Zheng Yongnian.
On the other hand, Zheng Yongnian thought more than others. Although Wang Zhennan’s words sounded good, he heard another meaning within them.
“It was my unworthy son’s doing; I certainly won’t deny it. So, Mr. Wang, how do you wish to resolve this matter?”
Leave?
To be honest, if it were anyone else, he really would consider it, but this was Heavenly Palace Hotel.
However, Zheng Yongnian’s words were even more surprising.
“What? Patriarch Zheng actually didn’t choose to leave. Is he afraid of Heavenly Palace Group?”
“Isn’t that obvious? If it weren’t for Heavenly Palace Group, would his Zheng Family need to fear a small Heavenly Palace Hotel?”
“Indeed, when Heavenly Palace Hotel still belonged to the Qin Family, the Zheng Family wasn't afraid. However, Patriarch Zheng’s approach is understandable.”
Seeing this, Wang Zhennan looked slightly disappointed. He had thought Zheng Yongnian would arrogantly take his son and leave.
If that were the case, the other party could easily leave, because he had no intention of sending anyone to stop them.
His disappointed expression was noticed by Wang Zixuan and his sister, who exchanged glances and then shook their heads.
They truly couldn't understand what Wang Zhennan was up to.
Regardless of what they thought, Wang Zhennan pointed at the chips on the gambling table and said calmly, “According to Heavenly Palace Hotel’s rules, a cheater must compensate the hotel twenty times the amount of chips in their possession.”
The chips above are over 1.6 billion. I'll round it down to 1.6 billion for Patriarch Zheng. How about you compensate us 32 billion, and this matter will be settled?”
32 billion?
When this number was announced, not only was Zheng Yongnian stunned beyond belief, but the surrounding wealthy businessmen also widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief, thinking they had misheard.
“No, Mr. Huang, did I mishear just now? I seem to have heard 3.2 billion as 32 billion.”
“No, you didn’t mishear. It’s not 3.2 billion, it’s 32 billion.”
“Mr. Huang, if I may ask, do you currently have 32 billion in assets?”
“Heh, that’s indeed a very impertinent question.”
These wealthy businessmen found it incredible, let alone the fans in Wang Yuxin’s live stream.
【32 billion? What kind of concept is that?】
【I don’t know, but I know I wouldn’t even dare to burn that much during Qingming Festival.】
【Good heavens, twenty times! Now I understand why Mr. Wang deliberately lost so much money to him. If it were me, I’d feel like I lost too little, wishing I could lose a day’s trading volume of緬A to him.】
【Are you an idiot? If you lose so much, you also have to make sure the other person has money to pay. Even this 32 billion, I don’t think the other party is likely to pay.】
【Speaking of which, Heavenly Palace Hotel actually has such a rule.】
【Nonsense, you just said it’s Heavenly Palace Hotel. Wang Zhennan is the person in charge here, so what he says goes.】
【Exactly, my rules are the rules, and Mr. Wang even said beforehand that the other party could leave with his people.】
【Leave? Do you think Patriarch Zheng is an idiot? If he really left like that, the matter wouldn’t be so simple.】
【Patriarch Zheng: I feel offended!】
Although Zheng Yongnian was prepared for a significant loss, hearing 32 billion made him laugh in extreme anger.
Even a lion's maw isn't opened this wide, is it? This isn't a significant loss; this is clearly an attempt to drain the Zheng Family dry!
