Part 11 Domineering Chapter 2 [Gambling God Gao Jin] (I)
Lin Zufan's tea art is quite superb. Since he retired, he has devoted himself to the mountains and rivers. He spends most of his time studying tea art, calligraphy, Go and other skills to cultivate the mind and cultivate the mind.
"Uncle San's life is really enviable!" Xiao Yu said sincerely.
Lin Zufan said: "I am just living a life I like. If you are allowed to grow flowers and grass all day, you will regret choosing this kind of life within two days."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Uncle San's life is indeed not suitable for me. I was moved and couldn't calm down to do these things."
Lin Zufan nodded and sighed, "Everyone has a different life. Do you still remember the last time he came here with Lao Hei?"
Lin Zufan slowly savored Longjing: "At that time, Lao Hei tried his best to persuade me to come out, but I refused..."
When talking about Song Laohei, Xiao Yu's expression seemed a little sad.
Lin Zufan's voice became low: "Facts have proved that my original choice was correct. If I returned to that bloody world, I'm afraid I will be like Lao Hei now..."
Xiao Yu finally turned the topic to the purpose of this time: "I came here this time to ask Uncle San for something!"
Lin Zufan nodded happily: "Besides persuading me to come out of the mountain, everything else is not a problem, but I, a mountain villager, can't help you, the upstart."
"Uncle San! I want to meet the god of gambling Gao Jin!"
Hearing Gao Jin's name, Lin Zufan's smile immediately calmed down. He placed the teacup heavily on the table: "I'm sorry! I don't know this person!"
"Uncle San! This matter is really important to me. Now the entire Asian underworld is eyeing Macau casinos. All forces led by Yamaguchi Group unite with each other, hoping to open a gap from Macau and develop their power to Hong Kong and Taiwan."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"I am the boss of the Triad Association, and I am responsible for managing the casino left by Macau gambling king He Tiansheng."
"oh!"
Lin Zufan then looked at Xiao Yu: "The Sanhe Association and Yamaguchi Group are simply a dispute over interests. What does this have to do with Gao Jin?"
Only then did Xiao Yu tell Lin Zufan about the upcoming Gambling King Competition in Macau, and Lin Zufan's expression slowly eased.
He finally understood why Xiao Yu was looking for the gambling god Gao Jin. This time, the gambling king competition was obviously aimed at the triad. If one party of the triad cannot win the final championship, the local casino they own would undoubtedly suffer a heavy blow.
Xiao Yu said: "Uncle San! You don't want to see the Yamaguchi Group taking the opportunity to invade our land. Can you help me once?"
Lin Zufan was silent. After a long time, he sighed: "Ayu! It's not that I don't want to help you. Even if you ask you to find Gao Jin, it will be of no help to things."
Xiao Yu didn't understand what Lin Zufan meant: "Uncle San!"
"He has long been no longer the original god of gambling. Now Gao Jin is just an ordinary person, an old man who is blind..."
Lin Zufan's words made Xiao Yu stunned. He never expected that such a result would be waiting for him. If everything was as he said, then this time the gambling king's battle for his own side would definitely be defeated.
Lin Zufan picked up the teacup again: "Yes, Gao Jin is indeed my best friend. In the early 1990s, he traveled to the Asian gambling world, fought countless battles, and never lost. His rise caused panic in the entire Asian gambling world..."
Lin Zufan ate the Longjing and continued, "It was his never-saying defeat that brought him a life-threatening disaster. I still remember that the Asian Gambling King Competition was also the organizer of Macau Gambling King He Tiansheng. Gao Jin has always had a good relationship with him. This time he was invited by him to represent He Tiansheng's side to fight."
Lin Zufan fell into memories of the past: "Gao Jin was a recognized god of gambling at that time. He passed the hurdles and reached the final. He finally played against him by Japanese Tomoshi Yamamoto, the current Asian gambling king, Yamamoto Gorodi. Based on his previous record, Gao Jin's victory was a foregone conclusion, and this game became unsurprising. But at this moment, He Tiansheng suddenly proposed that Gao Jin must lose this game!"
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he had a premonition of what had happened.
"He Tiansheng placed heavy bets on the outside, but he did not bet on Gao Jin on his side, because everyone thought that Gao Jin's victory was reasonable. Almost all bettors bet Gao Jin won."
Lin Zufan sighed: "Gao Jin is an extremely proud person. He would not accept even a small failure. He Tiansheng prepared a check of 50 million US dollars for him. As long as Gao Jin loses the game, all of this money will be entered into Gao Jin's account."
Xiao Yu guessed: "Did Gao Jin win?"
Lin Zufan nodded: "His stubbornness and pride have caused many people in the mainland to lose huge assets, and this victory has caused Gao Jin to be hunted by the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan underworld."
Lin Zufan looked at Xiao Yu: "You can never imagine the misfortune that Gao Jin encountered during that time. His lover betrayed him. His father was drowned in his own swimming pool. His two daughters were pushed down from the roof of the 19th floor..."
Xiao Yu remained silent. Such a tragedy would be unbearable for anyone.
"When Gao Jin was desperate, a mysterious big shot helped him, and Gao Jin was able to smuggle from Hong Kong to Japan. When I saw him, he was completely blind because of sadness..." Lin Zufan finished speaking, breathed a deep breath, and then looked back on Xiao Yu's face: "Do you still want to see him now?"
Xiao Yu nodded unexpectedly: "I want to see him more than before!"
"Why?" Lin Zufan asked strangely.
"I want to know after so many tragic things, can he really forget everything? Is there no hatred in his heart? Can he bear failure in his remaining life..."
Lin Zufan stared at Xiao Yu for a long time, and after a long time he said, "I think you will be disappointed..."
Xiao Yu's eyes were extremely firm.
"Hokkaido is the most beautiful season of the year now. If you go to Asahikawa, you may meet a Japanese old man named Takayama Jinhan..."
Hokkaido is located in northern Japan, accounting for one-fifth of the entire Japan, but its population is only half of Tokyo. It has a very low population density, and is mostly concentrated between Otaru and Asahikawa, which is centered on Sapporo. Therefore, when you arrive in Hokkaido, you often feel a sense of comfort. Compared with the crowded and prosperous cities in other Japanese cities, this place is really unique.
Hokkaido is famous for its charming snow scenes, and winter is the best season to visit Hokkaido.
When Xiao Yu arrived in Asahikawa, the annual "Hokkaido Snow Festival" began. The venues were located in "Oito Park" and "Makoto Self-Defense Force Square". Ice sculpture masters from all over the world gathered here, preparing to compete for their ice and snow skills, so Asahikawa is known as the City of Art in Japan.
According to the address guided by Lin Zufan in advance, Gao Jin should live in seclusion in a small town near Furano Ski Resort. After Xiao Yu arrived in Furano, he stayed directly at the Shin Furano Prince Hotel. This 12-story modern building looks like a space station, standing with his head held high in the arms of the wilderness, which looks very spectacular. The luxurious decoration inside the hotel is first-class.
Xiao Yu bought several sets of winter clothes in the hotel's VIP supermarket. Before coming to Japan, he did not expect that he would come to Hokkaido. His clothes were a little thin.
The Shin Furano Prince Hotel has many humanized designs. As long as you are a check-in guest here, you can enjoy a series of discounts such as car rental, shopping, and sightseeing.
Xiao Yu rented an off-road jeep and drove to Yamazaki Town, which is located on the mountain fifty kilometers away from the ski resort, according to the address given to him by Lin Zufan.
As soon as he drove out five or six kilometers, the sky began to snow heavily. The road ahead was soon covered by a thick layer of snow, and the road surface and the surrounding snow fields were in the same color. Xiao Yu was not in much mood to enjoy the snow scene in Hokkaido. For him, the most urgent task was to find the god of gambling Gao Jin as soon as possible.
Because the road was surrounded by mountains and snow, Xiao Yu had to reduce the speed to below 30 kilometers. After walking slowly on the winding highway for more than ten kilometers, he saw that the vehicles in front were connected into a long queue, and several traffic police were directing the front. Xiao Yu had to stop the car and look back at the back. Seven or eight cars had already blocked the road back.
After waiting in place for more than half an hour, the vehicle in front still did not move forward. Xiao Yu put on a ski shirt and got off the car and asked the police about the situation in English. The Japanese policeman had a very poor English level. After stuttering for a long time, Xiao Yu understood that more than a dozen cars had a rear-end collision at a turn a kilometer in front. Because of the special road conditions here, it would probably take two or three hours to completely eliminate the traffic failure.
Most of the people trapped here were tourists. The police patiently explained to everyone and kept asking tourists to go back to the car and turn on the heating. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was still no sign of being eliminated. However, a car collision occurred on the road below, and the retreat was completely blocked. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky became darker and the temperature began to drop.
The snow had buried half of the wheel, and people began to lose confidence, and many angry tourists surrounded the police and accused them loudly.
Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly. If this situation continues, he will probably be trapped here tonight.
