It's broken! I was targeted by the villain after the apocalypse
Chapter 442 Mercury Retrograde
Liu Jinan and Duan Haiping found out that Hu Jianye had bet two kilograms of gold chips on his father and mother in the underground casino.
According to the 1:50 odds given by the dealer, the dealer should return him one ton of gold.
"Although one ton of gold is not a small amount, it is not impossible for an underground casino to raise this amount of money." Liu Jinan couldn't help but feel sorry for Lao Hu. "They want to default on even this little money. Does this underground casino want to stop operating?"
Duan Haiping: "Our country does not allow the opening of casinos. It is only after the end of the world that the higher authorities, seeing the lack of entertainment activities, turned a blind eye to the underground casinos. In other words, these underground casinos in Kyoto are strictly speaking irregular. If the higher authorities are determined to rectify them, the entire underground casino will be destroyed."
Liu Jinan said without hesitation: "What's the point of opening a casino with such a bad reputation?"
Duan Haiping nodded in agreement: "Let's go, I'll take you to find the boss of the underground casino. If he refuses to pay back the money, there's no need for the higher-ups to intervene, I'll help you root it out directly."
Hu Jianye gave a thumbs up: "Brother Duan is awesome!"
Liu Jinan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I and Lao Hu go? You don't have to show up."
Duan Haiping understood what Liu Jinan meant. He was just worried about getting him into trouble.
"If I can't even protect you and your companions, what's the point of me being the army commander?" Duan Haiping always put Liu Jinan first. Power, status, wealth and interests were no match for Liu Jinan at all.
Liu Jinan smiled back, and silent emotions were contained in the glances between their eyes.
"Well, can you please pay attention to the physical and mental health of single people and stop showing off your affection in front of them?" Hu Jianye spoke up for himself.
Liu Jinan was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to Duan Haiping: "Then let's go together."
Duan Haiping sent the two men to the car, and on the way, he told them the man's information.
It turns out that the owner of this underground casino is named Qi Changkong, who was a bank president before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, due to the sharp decline in the purchasing power of paper money and the fact that the network could not be repaired, all banks across the country went bankrupt.
Qi Changkong had no choice but to turn around and start an underground casino business.
"Qi Changkong? This name..." Liu Jinan seemed to be thinking about something. If he remembered correctly, Chairman Qi seemed to be called Qi Changfeng?
Duan Haiping: "You guessed correctly, he is a relative of Chairman Qi. As for the specific relationship between them, I don't know."
Liu Jinan thought that since their names were so similar, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were brothers.
"That is to say, this underground casino is backed by Chairman Qi." Liu Jinan felt that the network of relationships in Kyoto was increasingly complex. "I didn't expect that such a small friendly match would bring up so many connections. It really affects the entire body."
Duan Haiping drove into a park. The security guard was standing at the entrance. He looked at Duan Haiping's luxury car and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Duan Haiping: "I'm looking for Qi Changkong."
Security guard: "Then you can call him and ask him to pick you up."
Duan Haiping said calmly: "You call him and tell him that Duan Haiping from the Special Power Army wants to see him. Either he comes to see me now, or ask Chairman Qi to bring him to see me."
When the security guard heard Duan Haiping's tone, he immediately panicked.
He didn't doubt Duan Haiping's identity at all. This limited edition sports car and this superior aura were not something that could be easily impersonated.
Moreover, since it concerned Chairman Qi, the security guard did not dare to be negligent and immediately returned to the security booth to call Qi Changkong.
Not long after, he came out with a big smile on his face: "Commander Duan, please wait a moment, Mr. Qi will be here soon."
Hu Jianye whispered to Liu Jinan, "No wonder those rich people want to work in the military and politics. Being an official is awesome!"
Liu Jinan deeply agreed with this. After all, there was still an insurmountable gap between the rich people and those children of aristocratic families.
Of course, the relationship networks of top families are deep and complex, and the children who come from them receive elite education from an early age and are more careful about their reputation.
Their ability to handle crises is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Qi Changkong even trotted to Duan Haiping's side, humbly wiped his hands on his clothes, and then stretched out his hand to shake hands with Duan Haiping: "Commander Duan, I have heard of your name for a long time. It is true that I have an extraordinary demeanor when I meet you today."
Duan Haiping politely shook hands with the other party and said a few simple pleasantries before getting straight to the point: "My brother placed a bet in your underground casino and won a ton of gold, but your underground casino refused to acknowledge the loss."
Qi Changkong's eyes widened immediately. "What? Is this true? I'm so sorry, Commander Duan. I've been busy expanding my business these days and neglected the management of the casino. So, please go in and have some tea. I'll call the person in charge of the casino and ask him what's going on."
Duan Haiping gave Liu Jinan an inquiring look, and Liu Jinan nodded slightly.
The security guard swiftly helped them park the car, and the three of them followed Qi Changkong to the tea room. They could smell the lingering aroma of tea before they even entered the room.
The tea room is decorated quite elegantly, and there are people responsible for burning incense and making tea.
Qi Changkong was also very talkative, and even took Liu Jinan and Hu Jianye into consideration while chatting. Although the two of them didn't talk much, they were able to keep the conversation from becoming dull with the help of each other.
He is indeed a very good businessman.
Soon, the person in charge of the casino hurried over.
Qi Changkong questioned him: "I heard that you opened a betting market to predict whether the players in the friendly match can survive the elimination round, and made a lot of money?"
As soon as the person in charge saw Hu Jianye, he knew what had happened and did not dare to hide it: "I did decide to open the betting. Originally, I had calculated that I could make money, but I didn't expect an accident to happen."
There were many dark horses in the friendly matches, and what he earned was not enough to cover his losses.
It’s really because the odds for those underdogs are too high, and some people just try to take advantage of the unconventional opportunities and end up making a fortune by accident.
There was even a payment of one ton of gold as compensation!
If the compensation is paid out, the casino will no longer need to be open. The funds will not be able to be turned around, so it is better to close it down as soon as possible.
Qi Changkong understood. He looked at Duan Haiping and said, "I have a general idea of the whole story. Don't worry, since Changkong Casino dares to open, it must be able to afford the compensation."
"This time I was negligent in management, which led to some employees being self-righteous and neglecting customers." He apologized, "In addition to the one ton of gold that should have been paid to this gentleman, I will personally give you another ten kilograms of gold as an apology from Changkong Casino. What do you think?"
Hu Jianye had no problem with it, so Duan Haiping agreed to Qi Changkong's compensation conditions and left with the two of them.
The person in charge was worried: "Boss, that's a ton of gold. If we pay it out, our underground casino will have no funds left!"
"If you lose money, you can earn it again. If you lose your reputation, you lose everything." Qi Changkong patted the person in charge on the shoulder, "You have to remember that problems that can be solved with money are not problems."
The person in charge still felt sorry for the gold: "Why don't you look for Chairman Qi?"
"Forget it. He's in a state of panic now. Let's not disturb him for such a small matter." Qi Changkong sighed. It was strange that all the bad things happened at the same time.
Could it be that the Qi family has been experiencing bad luck recently and a disaster is about to happen?
