Chapter Six, Five Hundred Million Detective

Five Hundred Million Detective Lei Luo

Sha Qiang gritted his teeth and took the check, wanting to mimic Chen Xijiu's imposing style by dramatically lifting his clothes, only to realize he had no gun, just half a sugarcane.

Shi Zhijian did not hesitate to push 200,000 into the betting area: "200,000, bet on 'Black Lightning'!"

Leilo looked at Shi Zhijian, who showed no fear in front of him, and couldn't help but nod secretly. This young man knows who he is and still dares to be so arrogant; it seems rather interesting

In the later Hong Kong film industry, many movies were made based on the experiences of this legendary detective. Shi Zhijian had seen these films, thus he was not unfamiliar with the person in front of him

Shi Zhijian snorted again, then straightened his tie, bit down on a large cigar, and swaggered inside

After all, the dandy style that Shi Zhijian just displayed was too genuine, making it hard not to believe that he is a wealthy young master

Upon hearing Shi Zhijian say that it was his father who came to him in a dream to bet on horses, everyone around burst into laughter, for while Hong Kong people may be superstitious, they are not that foolish

Leilo, a legendary figure of Hong Kong. As the top chief inspector among the four major chief inspectors of Hong Kong, he wielded significant influence in the 1960s and 1970s, commanding the entire police force of Hong Kong at his discretion

Wasn't it agreed to bet on horse racing?

The crowd was in an uproar

I don't know

This individual is involved in both legitimate and illegitimate activities, exhibiting a deep-seated greed for money. It is said that during his tenure, he embezzled 500 million yuan, earning him the nickname "500 Million Inspector"

Leiluo nodded and said: "I apologize, Saiban, I had a bad streak just now and lost all the 100,000 yuan I brought with me. Now, could you please help me raise another 100,000 yuan? I want to play a bit with this friend!"

As the horse race was about to begin, Shi Zhijian did not impulsively place a bet immediately, but instead waited for the "opportunity" he was aware of

There are thirty minutes left until the end, and it seems that this Young Master Shi is about to face defeat

Saipan is a senior representative of Standard Chartered Bank and also an old acquaintance of Leilo. Upon hearing this, he said: "Of course, dear Lei! You are a valued customer of Standard Chartered Bank, and I, Saipan, am very pleased to serve you!"

Soon, half an hour had passed

At Leilo's gesture, the young man in the floral shirt who was following him stepped forward and grinned at Shi Zhijian, saying: "My name is Chen Xijiu, and this is a check for 100,000 yuan. I look forward to your guidance later!" After saying this, he exaggeratedly adjusted his shirt to reveal a gun at his waist, making his intentions clear: if you win, that's fine, but if you lose and try to default, this gun is not just for show!

It looks very luxurious

Which family's young master is this

The wealthy elites around, who did not join in the game, watched the start of the game with great interest, also waiting to see Shi Zhijian make a fool of himself, after all, no one in this world dares to claim they can win at horse racing, unless they are a deity

Wow, isn't this Inspector Lei?

One thousand, just like that, it is gone

Those wealthy individuals were all drawn in by Shi Zhijian's voice. Upon closer inspection, they found it was a young stranger who appeared rather arrogant, though it was unclear which wealthy family he belonged to

Shi Zhijian looked at Lei Luo and smiled, "Detective Lei, is it? Whatever amount you offer, I will accept it!"

Today, Lei Luo has also lost his temper, filled with anger, and coupled with Shi Zhijian's arrogance, he plans to take a gamble.

There is no loss in losing, and winning earns half; it is quite a bargain! Here I come!" Just as everyone was pondering, a loud voice shouted.

As the crowd mocked, the broadcast announced that Xu Shixun's "Black Lightning" was preparing to enter the arena, with the jockey being the three-time champion, Simak.

Shi Zhijian turned his gaze towards the sound and saw a man in his forties with a hooked nose walking over with an imposing presence. Following closely behind him was a young man dressed in a floral shirt

Shi Zhijian has not yet moved

In this era, a worker's salary in a factory is merely 300 Hong Kong dollars, while a waiter, after working hard for an entire month, can only earn 320 dollars. Yet now, Shi Zhijian merely breaks a cup and throws out 1,000!

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people couldn't help but be taken aback. It was not that there was any issue with Shi Zhijian's bold wager of 200,000, but rather because of the horse that Shi Zhijian had chosen.

If Leiluo did not step forward, even if Shi Zhijian could really raise funds, it would only amount to tens of thousands at most. Unlike now, where there are hundreds of thousands, he immediately has two hundred thousand in capital.

If "Old Bean's Dream" could guarantee a win, it is likely that more than half of the gamblers in Hong Kong would have become wealthy

There are numerous discussions among the crowd

Shi Zhijian strode in with an arrogant demeanor, cigar in hand, and shouted: "Is there anyone here who wants to get rich! I am giving you an opportunity now!"

It is ! ''

Seeing them in a daze, Shi Zhijian directly approached and kicked them in the rear twice, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and put out the cigarettes! Keep watch, and make sure no unrelated people come in!"

Shi Zhijian, accompanied by Sha Qiang, stormed into the VIP area, surrounded by wealthy individuals dressed in suits. Waiters in vests and bow ties walked back and forth, serving drinks.

Two stable workers are slacking off, leaning against the door and smoking cigarettes. When they see Shi Zhijian, dressed in a white suit and puffing on a large cigar, approaching, they are about to speak up to stop him. However, Shi Zhijian takes the initiative, holding the cigar and pointing at their noses: "One good-for-nothing! Two good-for-nothings! You are all good-for-nothings!"

Upon seeing this, Shi Zhijian unfastened the buttons of his white suit jacket, striking a bold pose with his hands on his hips, biting on a cigar, exhaling a puff of smoke, and declared loudly: "This is the last chance! I will place the bets for you; if you win, we split the winnings, if you lose, it will be on me. Who dares to play?"

Behind me, Sha Qiang is crying out in pain.

With Leilo being the first to eat crabs, three wealthy individuals around also stepped forward to participate in this "game"

At your command

These individuals hold different intentions; their primary reason for pooling funds to allow Shi Zhijian to place a bet is mainly to flatter Lei Luo.

Leiluo looked at the unmoving Shi Zhijian and teased, "Young Master Shi, why haven't you placed your bet yet? I'm waiting for you to win the horse!"

Although the foolish Qiang, who closely follows Shi Zhijian, is indeed foolish, he understands that one should not believe in things like dreams from the deceased. However, looking at the current situation, my goodness, it's over.

My father appeared in a dream and told me, today I will dominate the racetrack!

If I lose, I will pay with my life

Shi Zhijian displayed an imposing presence, commanding Sha Qiang: "Sha Qiang, collect the money!"

It seems that after sobering up, one realizes that betting on horse racing is not that simple, and boasting comes with a price

So I hurriedly followed behind Shi Zhijian, "Ah Jian, oh no, Young Master Shi! You were so impressive just now! When did you become so formidable?"

Look at what you all look like, standing without any proper posture, sitting without any proper demeanor, even smoking in a sneaky manner

For the gambler Shi Zhijian,

Captain Lei, please remain calm. Trust me, we will definitely win

Snap! Lei Luo snapped his fingers, and immediately a foreigner rushed out, smiling at Lei Luo and saying, "Detective Lei, is there anything I can assist you with?"

This is its first appearance

VIP area entrance

Soon, Saibei truly returned with a check for 100,000 yuan, handing it all over to Leiluo

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Shi Zhijian laughed even more wildly. He casually picked up a champagne glass from a server's tray and drank it in one gulp. With a loud crash, he smashed the glass on the floor, then pointed his left index finger at the crowd while pulling out his wallet with his right hand. He took out a stack of money and tossed it onto the tray, saying: "Here, everyone bear witness—this is one thousand yuan, to cover the cost of the broken glass!"

Is it you, Young Master Shi? I greatly admire your character; you are sufficiently arrogant and domineering! I, Lei, intend to have you assist in placing a bet; do you dare to accept?" After the hawk-nosed man finished speaking, he cast a sidelong glance at Shi Zhijian.

neither too little nor too much

"Detective Lei, I support you; I will increase the bid by fifty thousand!"

Shi Zhijian curled the corner of his mouth: "The best is yet to come!"

Indeed, it is Inspector Lei Luo of the Hua Police!

Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "Even if you don't believe me, you must believe my father!"

The two guards were taken aback, and upon seeing Shi Zhijian dressed remarkably and exuding an impressive demeanor, they were momentarily at a loss.

Two guards busily threw the cigarettes on the ground, stamped on them with their feet, and stood tall with their chests out and bellies protruding

"I only met you today, how can I trust you?" Lei Luo said with a cold smile, his expression changing instantly, "Let me tell you, I lost 100,000 today. I am giving you money to help me recover my losses! If you win, then fine; if you play me for a fool, I will not be polite to you!"

... ...

Having won, one achieves wealth and nobility in a single day

Chief Lei is personally taking action, so there will be a good show to watch

200,000

... ...

The wealthy individuals around could not help but laugh, saying: "This Young Master Shi is quite composed, isn't he? The horse race is about to end, yet he still hasn't placed a bet?"

"Ajiu, give the check to this Young Master Shi and see how he wins!" After saying this, Leiluo slightly raised his chin, curled his lips, and looked at Shi Zhijian with an air of arrogance

Since Inspector Lei has thrown out a brick to attract jade, I will also join in the fun, 20,000 yuan

Those wealthy individuals once again confirmed Shi Zhijian's identity, noting that he did not possess a vast fortune and could not engage in such extravagant behavior

Why should I trust your father

Even Shaqiang was left dumbfounded, is this really possible

Leilo rolled his eyes and said, "I hope what your father said is true, otherwise, I will personally send you to meet him!" The atmosphere was filled with a murderous intent

This time, someone has begun to stir restlessly

Detective Lei is quite extravagant, making a move with one hundred thousand; I can only offer thirty thousand!
