Chapter 707 Windfall
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, what's so funny?" Ge Dawei was so angry he could barely speak. His friend's "chastity" was seriously threatened, and instead of helping him, you all just stood there laughing! Honestly!
Fortunately, Zhou Weihua was loyal enough to quickly suppress his smile. "Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that an acting genius like you would be defeated by someone else's acting. Look at your embarrassing state!" After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh so hard he fell over.
"Huh?" After his friend's prompting, Ge Dawei seemed to have an epiphany and quickly turned to look at Wang Dakeng—
Just as I suspected, I've been tricked!
"You little rascal, you tricked me!" There was no hint of blame in his tone.
Wang Dakeng shrugged and laughed, "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine!"
Then, everyone burst into laughter again.
"Dawei, it's such a waste that you're not a woman!" Tang Qianqian suddenly blurted out.
"If he were a woman, he would have killed every single pig in the world." With that, Chao Bufan turned and ran away.
"You brat, don't run! I'll teach you a lesson!" Ge Dawei took off after him.
After some playful banter, the four "young couples" left in high spirits.
At Pier 8, a large luxury cruise ship was docked at the shore. The four couples, after showing their passes, boarded the cruise ship smoothly with the flow of people.
The cruise ship has four decks. The first deck is a huge lounge with all kinds of food and drinks. The second deck is divided into several areas for those participating in this "high-stakes gamble" to advance their ranks. The third deck is a huge casino with only one large gaming table. As for the fourth deck, it's used for offices.
The rules of this betting event are as follows: all participants will compete on the second level. Fifty players will advance on the first day to become contestants on the second day. On the second day, these fifty players will be divided into ten groups of five. Ten more players will advance from each group, and these ten advanced players will then compete in pairs. Finally, the five players who advance will have the final showdown, which will take place promptly at noon on the third day.
To ensure the fairness, impartiality, and transparency of this "charitable undertaking," Saburo Sakata specially invited numerous "social media" outlets to report on the entire process, and several internationally renowned referees to be present to officiate.
However, since the cruise ship hadn't yet reached international waters, the morning was a rare opportunity for entertainment. Sakata Saburo had thoughtfully arranged several entertainment programs to keep everyone entertained. As the host of this "charitable undertaking," Sakata Saburo, despite having received "special treatment" from Chao Bufan and his group of young men the previous night, was more interested in enjoying himself in his fourth-floor office, reaping the benefits of the "charity" and waiting to make a fortune.
These four young couples, rarely encountering such an eye-catching entertainment program, naturally had a great time. On the first day of the competition, Chao Bufan and Wang Dakeng were fortunate enough to advance to the top fifty. And in the "fifty to ten" final competition on the second morning, the two successfully advanced again.
Amid the celebration, Wang Dakeng caught a glimpse of Feng Ling out of the corner of his eye; this guy had also successfully advanced into the top ten.
"Hey? Bufan, isn't that your cousin?" Wang Dakeng looked at Feng Ling and immediately gave a reminder.
Everyone turned to look at Feng Ling. "It really is your cousin!"
Just as Chao Bufan looked at Feng Ling, Feng Ling also looked at Chao Bufan, quickly waved to greet him, and then walked over.
"Cousin, what are you doing here?" Feng Ling seemed a little bewildered.
Chao Bufan smiled faintly and said, "Just bored! So I came to join in the fun."
"This isn't the place to talk. Come on, let's go to my room," Feng Ling said intentionally.
Chao Bufan nodded and then followed.
Sakata Saburo was leisurely enjoying his wine when a man rushed in and whispered something in his ear. Sakata Saburo frowned immediately and asked in a cold voice, "Are you sure it's them?"
The man said with absolute certainty, "It's absolutely true! It's definitely them."
Sakata Saburo grinned, a shadow of gloom crossing his face as he muttered to himself, "You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while you insist on barging into the gates of hell! Very well! Very well! You brought this upon yourselves. Go, call Ah Long and Ah Hao here."
The man replied respectfully, "Yes, Third Master."
Suddenly, Saburo Sakata seemed to be in a much better mood. He picked up the glass and gently swirled it around, his eyes fixed on the red liquid in the glass, but his expression was uncertain.
Soon, Brother Long and Brother Hao walked in together and greeted each other, "Third Master."
Sakata Saburo put down his wine glass and said calmly, "Those bastards who ruined our entertainment center last night are right here."
Upon hearing this, the two were immediately taken aback and asked in surprise, "Third Master, are you sure they're on the cruise ship?"
Saburo Sakata said expressionlessly, "It has been confirmed, it's absolutely true!"
"Great!" Brother Long and Brother Hao immediately cheered. "Third Master, let's go and take them down right now."
With that, the two turned and left.
"Wait!" Saburo Sakata quickly called out to the two of them.
"Does Third Master have any further instructions?"
Sakata Saburo finally smiled slightly: "I heard from the people below that four of these people participated in this betting game, and Chao Bufan and Wang Dakeng have successfully advanced to the top ten." His words were full of praise.
Brother Long asked curiously, "Third Master, we don't think we invited them to this charity event! How did they get in?"
Saburo Sakata laughed and said, "That's not important anymore. Since they're here to participate in the charity event, they're our 'guests.' After the event, you can..."
Upon hearing this, Brother Long and Brother Hao replied in unison, "Understood."
Saburo Sakata added, “Before the event is over, tell the brothers not to cause trouble or create problems. Just act as if nothing happened, but keep a close eye on them.”
The two replied in unison again, "Yes, Third Master."
After Brother Long and Brother Hao left, Saburo Sakata's face once again displayed an unpredictable expression.
"Hehe, interesting! I have to say, you guys are quite capable. You managed to sneak into my territory and cause all sorts of trouble without anyone noticing, and you even caused me heavy losses."
He then stood up and went to the room behind him.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties sat alone at an extra-large and extra-long tea table, enjoying "Jade Dew" tea. The room was filled with the aroma of tea.
