Chapter 1259: Platinum VIP Room!

Casino lobby.

The crowd dispersed.

Some customers were still discussing the roulette tables. Only Dong Xuebing, Zhang Longjuan, the twins, Song Yuhu, and Senior Zhou remained.

“Platinum VIP room?” Dong Xuebing looked at the old man.

“Yes. Only I have the authority to use the room. Xiao Song does not have this authority.” Senior Zhou replied.

“It is a class higher than other VIP rooms. What is so special about it?” Dong Xuebing asked.

Senior Zhou explained. “The Platinum Room is the most high-class room in our casino. We use this room to host the VVIPs, who do not want to reveal themselves. I will make an exception for you and let you use that room. However, the rules in the Platinum Room are slightly different. The maximum bet for the VIP room is 1 million USD and 5 million USD for the Platinum room. There’s no limit to how much you win. Take Mahjong as an example. Self-drawn win payout is several times higher than ordinary VIP rooms. If you agree, I will let my men prepare the room and bring you all over. What do you say?”

Dong Xuebing looked at him. “The highest bet is five million USD?”

Senior Zhou nodded and laughed. “You can discuss among yourselves and set the rules and bet.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “No need. We will follow your rules.”

Senior Zhou looked at him. “Have you decided? I will ask my staff to prepare the room.”

Dong Xuebing’s 46 million USD is not a lot if the single bet is 5 million USD.

Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it and nodded. “Yes. Thank you.”

“Good. It’s rare to see young people who are so confident like you.”

Senior Zhou’s bodyguard took a card from him and left.

“Let’s go.” Senior Zhou walked in front.

Song Yuhu looked at Zhang Longjuan and Dong Xuebing and waved Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng over. They walked behind Senior Zhou, Dong Xuebing, and the rest followed them.

Shen Xiaoyan asked softly. “Are you going to play with them?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Of course. They cheated Sis Zhang’s money. How can I let them off lightly? Moreover, Song Yuhu almost killed your sister and you. We got to settle this score with them. It does not matter if we cannot play roulette. They need to be taught a lesson. I will win Sis Zhang’s money back from them and make them lose everything.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Mahjong?”

“Yes. I will play Mahjong with them.” Dong Xuebing said.

Shen Xiaomei looked at him. “Are you good at mahjong?”

Shen Xiaoyan looked at Dong Xuebing after seeing him replying confidently.

Dong Xuebing’s reply shocked them. “I know the rules and how to win. But I seldom play.”

Shen Xiaomei gasped. “You don’t know how to play mahjong.”

Dong Xuebing retorted. “I know. Didn’t I say I know the rules?”

Shen Xiaomei almost fainted. “Knowing the rules does not mean you know how to play.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “It’s enough to beat them.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Our handsome boy is so confident. We will fight them to the end. But you must be careful. They will be working together against you. You will be disadvantaged at Mahjong. I suggest you set a ‘no eat’ and ‘no pong’ rule before the game. This will prevent them from giving each other tiles.”

Shen Xiaomei added. “That’s right. How are you going to win against three of them?”

Dong Xuebing replied confidently. “It’s fine. They cannot win against me.”

“Oh, you are so confident.” Zhang Longjuan looked at him.

Dong Xuebing replied. “It’s not a problem to win them.”

Zhang Longjuan nodded. “I am looking forward to seeing your mahjong skill.”

At the end of the corridor.

They went up the stairs and entered a grand and luxurious hall. This is the Platinum Room. Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were in awe when they entered.

This room has been renovated nicely.

The room is separated into many sections, each with its table.

This does not look like a room. It looks more like a mini-casino.

Senior Zhou turned and asked Dong Xuebing. “Do you want me to arrange for other guests to play Mahjong? I can let Xiao Song play and find two other players for you. You can also find other players yourself. But they must have enough capital.”

It is unfair for Dong Xuebing to play against three players.

Most people will not win in this situation.

Dong Xuebing replied. “No need. All the players are here.”

Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei, and Ms. Leng glanced at Dong Xuebing. They felt he was boastful.

Dong Xuebing was getting arrogant. Most people will avoid going up against three players in Mahjong. But he is not going to let them off. He is going to win all of them at once. This will save the trouble of switching players later.

Senior Zhou looked at him. “Can I watch by the side?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “You cannot stay behind me. I don’t care about others.”

Senior Zhou laughed. “Of course. Don’t worry about people giving hand signals to cheat. I will not allow it to happen.”

Song Yuhu asked. “Shall we start?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Wait a minute. I need a smoke.”

Senior Zhou said. “All right. Let’s take a ten minutes break. Xiao Liu, prepare the table.”

A female dealer acknowledged politely and left to set up the table.

Dong Xuebing walked to the rest area with Zhang Longjuan to smoke.

Zhang Longjuan reminded. “Haha… I am not nagging at you, but I must remind you. This is their territory, and the staff are their people. You must be careful. I will be watching them from the back. But I think they will not dare to cheat.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. He is not afraid of them cheating. Who can cheat better than him? STOP is the most powerful cheat.

“Sis Zhang.”

“Huh?”

“Explain to me how to win.”

“Win? Don’t you know the rules?”

“I know, but… The rules here are different from how we play at home, and I don’t know much about some winning hands. We don’t have ‘Three Dragons’ or ‘Thirteen Wonders.”

Mahjong is played differently in different regions. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

Beijing got its own rules, and Sichuan got its own. Hong Kong’s rules are different too.

Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were speechless when they heard it. You don’t know anything and dare to play Mahjong with them? You don’t know how to win and claim you know the rules. What are you thinking?

How dare you come to the Platinum Room?

You are too bold.

“I forgot about it.” Zhang Longjuan said. “I will tell you about it. Most winning hands are the same. You only need to remember the basics. We don’t have time, and I will tell you about the commonly seen winning hands. I will skip those rare hands which most people might not get in their lives.”

“Don’t. You must tell me about the rare winning hands.”

“Haha… you are greedy. Fine. Listen carefully.”

Zhang Longjuan told Dong Xuebing about the rules and her experiences. She noticed he was not paying attention when she shared her experiences and how to play the game. She smiled and stopped sharing her experiences. She only tells him all the big winning hands.

One minute…

Three minutes…

Five minutes…

Zhang Longjuan finished.

Dong Xuebing nodded. “I understand.”

Zhang Longjuan snubbed her cigarette and said calmly. “Don’t feel pressure. Winning or losing does not matter. We won this money from a chip. We will not feel the pain. Haha…”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Don’t worry. I will not lose.”

“Sure.” Zhang Longjuan said and lifted his face. She smiled and kissed his forehead. “This is a blessing from me. Go!”

Dong Xuebing blushed and cleared his throat. “I am going.”

Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were embarrassed after looking at them.

Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei, and Ms. Leng stood before the mahjong table. They were ready.

They started rolling dice for the seats after Dong Xuebing walked over.

Mr. Wei sat in the ‘North’ seat. He is the banker in the first round. Dong Xuebing is before him and will be the last to be the banker.

The seats were set, and all of them got into their seats.

Zhang Longjuan and the twins sat behind Dong Xuebing.

Senior Zhou sat behind Song Yuhu, and many people entered the room.

Some were casino staff.

Some were the Platinum VIP room.

Some guests, who were dressed smartly, entered. Their status is higher than other guests. They are at least Zhang Longjuan’s level and seemed invited by Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng. Platinum VIP room players can bring guests in to watch or play.

Two guests sat behind Mr. Wei.

Three sat behind Ms. Leng.

The seats for spectators were limited, and the bodyguards sat in the rest area.

The casino seldom opens the Platinum VIP room. Something big will happen every time it opens. The bets there would amount to tens of million USD.

Al the spectators know Dong Xuebing is going up against the three of them. Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng are above average at Mahjong. People who know Song Yuhu well will know his gambling skills. After all, he is the person in charge of this casino. No guests, including the casino staff, felt Dong Xuebing would win.

You might be good at roulette, but you might not be good at Mahjong.

Roulette is based on luck, and it is different from Mahjong.
