989 Could It Be Another Hidden Expert?
Ye Feng immediately got someone to find a quiet room.
Every contestant was provided with a room to rest in. They only needed to hold the number plate to enter.
The information was very detailed. Other than the names, ages, and places of origin of the partic.i.p.ants, there were also some technical a.n.a.lysis reports that described in detail the fields that these people were good at. There were more than three hundred of them.
Even though Ye Feng’s reading speed was very fast, it took him more than an hour to finish reading these three hundred doc.u.ments.
Then, he combed through and checked. First, he could eliminate the females first. Then, he gradually eliminated the height and body shape. In the end, there were still more than 50 suspects left.
In addition, many of the contestants were wearing masks. It was really difficult to find the King of Thieves, Ah Can, from here.
Just as he was having a headache, Cao Wenhui sent him another piece of bad news. “Mr. Feng, I’m really sorry. The mission you gave me failed.”
Ye Feng had asked him to keep an eye on his master Ah Can. Once Ah Can went out, he would immediately tell him the time and attire he would be wearing.
From what he said, it should have been a failure.
“What happened?” Ye Feng’s tone was gloomy.
“My master asked me to buy breakfast for him this morning. When I came back, he was long gone. I don’t know what time he left the house or what he was wearing today. I’m really sorry.” Cao Wenhui had a weakness in Ye Feng’s hands. He was afraid of angering the other party.
Ye Feng was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up. The difficulty of searching was already high enough. Now, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“Cao Wenhui, are you kidding me?”
“Mr. Feng, don’t say that. You have all the evidence against me. How would I dare to play with you? It was my master who deliberately sent me away. I had no choice.”
“Why should I believe you? If you can’t provide any useful information, then I’ll have to give your master the evidence against you.”
“No, no, Mr. Feng, I… Right, I can provide you with a clue.”
“Speak!”
“My master loves his hands very much. He will soak them in milk every day to maintain them, so they look just like a baby’s hands…”
Ye Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard this clue.
Even if he could wear a mask on his face, he couldn’t hide his hands. He couldn’t possibly wear gloves, right? Wouldn’t that be admitting to it?
Cao Wenhui was still a little nervous. “Mr. Feng, are you satisfied with the clue I provided? Please don’t give those videos to my master, I beg you…”
Ye Feng could not help but curse in his heart, ‘If I could find your master, why would I bother talking to you?’
“Alright, I got it.”
Then, he hung up.
It was almost 10 o’clock and the match was about to start. A waiter had already come to urge him to leave.
Ye Feng immediately tore the stack of doc.u.ments into pieces, then pushed open the window and threw it into the sea before leaving.
When he arrived at the hall on the first floor, it was already packed with people. At least half of them were wearing all kinds of masks.
Ye Feng looked around and did not find anyone suspicious. He could only stop for now.
However, he did see Hong Jiajun in the crowd. He was wearing a well-ironed black suit today. He did not wear a mask on his face and still looked arrogant.
He indeed had the right to be proud. After all, not everyone could be the Gambling King twice in a row.
But when he turned around and saw Ye Feng, he immediately retracted his arrogance and greeted him in a friendly manner, “Ye… h.e.l.lo, Mr. Feng.”
Everyone immediately turned to look at Ye Feng curiously, their eyes were filled with confusion.
Hong Jiajun had always been very arrogant. He had always been arrogant to everyone, so why was he so respectful to this young man?
Could it be another hidden expert?
Fortunately, Ye Feng was used to seeing big scenes. Even though he was being stared at by so many people, he did not look embarra.s.sed. He just stood there casually.
Fortunately, Hong Xiaotian arrived at this time. Xiao Changqing and a few organizers of the compet.i.tion came with him. They were all famous people in the Gambling City.
“Welcome to the Gambling King Tournament. I am Hong Xiaotian, one of the organizers of the tournament.”
Hong Xiaotian had the highest status among these people and was the first to speak on stage.
There was a round of applause from the audience. It was obvious that everyone respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
Hong Xiaotian did not waste too much of everyone’s time. He only gave a few simple words of encouragement before leaving the stage.
Xiao Changqing and the others also said a few words, and then the host went on stage to introduce the rules.
The first match was a dice game, and it was a free-for-all.
There were more than 300 contestants this time, and each of them would be given 100,000 yuan in chips. In the end, only the 64 people who won the most money would be able to enter the next round of the compet.i.tion.
Many of the partic.i.p.ants who were not good at dice immediately became dejected.
Some of them were good at poker, some were good at Pai Gow, and some were good at mahjong. It wasn’t fair for them to play dice.
However, these were the rules of the compet.i.tion. They could only follow them.
Moreover, the Gambling King Tournament was to select the person with the strongest overall strength. For example, Hong Jiajun was very strong in both dice and poker.
If they only had one specialization, it would be very easy to be eliminated.
“The first round will start in an hour.”
After the host finished speaking, he immediately left the stage.
The staff had already set up the venue. More than 30 gambling tables filled the entire hall.
The contestants couldn’t wait to seize the gambling table. Some of them didn’t get it and even almost fought.
When Ye Feng saw this scene, he could not help but shake his head and smile.
He didn’t know what these people were thinking. Would they win more just because they played first? They might lose even more, right?
