"My dear, I made your favorite pasta and Italian pizza. Will you come back for lunch?" Alice's voice was sweet and nice.
"Baby, didn't I tell you? I won't be back until the afternoon. I still have some work to do." Thompson's voice.
"You always have a job to do. I spent most of the day making you pasta and pizza, but you didn't even want to tell me what your job was. In your heart, I don't even have your job. It's important." Alice's voice sounded complaining.
"Baby, you know my identity, and you can't say anything about my work. You don't have to doubt your status in my heart. You are the most important in my heart. I can swear to God."
"You always say that. I don't know if what you say is true or false."
Thompson's voice said, "Alice, I have asked a friend to contact a Hollywood director, and he promised to give you the role of a prostitute."
"The role of a prostitute?"
"Yes, the role of a prostitute. You will get about five minutes of screen time. You seduce the protagonist, then poison the wine, and finally be killed by the protagonist."
Alice, “…”
Before Xia Lei appeared, Alice would have been overjoyed to get this role, but the role Xia Lei gave her was a new generation Bond girl from oo7. Does she still care about a prostitute who can't live for five minutes?
"What, don't you like it?" Thompson's voice.
"No, I'm so excited that I can't speak... Thank you, dear, I will cherish this opportunity." Alice said.
"As long as you like it, but I have one request. If the director has any hidden rules, don't agree to him. I'm not doing this for myself, but for the sake of your future acting career."
"Thank you, my dear, you are so kind to me." Alice's voice said, "My dear, I also have some good news for you."
"What good news?"
"Do you still remember the person who beat you by more than 20,000 yuan?"
"Of course I remember, what happened?"
"I went to the casino again last night, met him, and won $100,000 from him."
"What... how much?" Thompson's voice was full of surprise.
"100,000 US dollars, don't doubt it, you heard it right."
"Oh my God, how is this possible?" Thompson still couldn't believe it.
Alice smiled and said: "My dear, he is actually not a great gambler. He is the illegitimate son of a sheikh in the United Arab Emirates. He is the kind of prince who flies around the world in a plane and has fun. He has a lot of money. I don’t have much money to spend, all I need is fun, I just used a little tricks and won 100,000 US dollars.”
"Hahaha..." Thompson couldn't help laughing.
"My dear, he asked me to go gambling again tonight. Do you want to go?" Alice's voice said.
"Of course, I want to see his expression when he loses money right now." Thompson said excitedly.
"He doesn't care about the money at all. Last night he lost me 100,000 US dollars, but he gave the dealer a 5,000 US dollar tip."
"Baby, wait for me, I'll be right back!"
call ended.
The conversation between Alice and Thompson was transmitted verbatim from the speaker of the hacker's computer. The people who eavesdropped on this call were not only Xia Lei, but also Angu Mihan and Tsukino Kyoko, as well as Qianjun and Saimu who came to join them.
Saimu gave Xia Lei a thumbs up, "Boss, when it comes to picking up girls, I may despise Ronaldo, but I admire you."
Xia Lei just smiled. He didn't want to do this at all, but he had no other choice.
An Gumihan said: "Sayimu, when one day you have as much money as the boss and are as handsome as him, then you will be qualified to compete with the boss in picking up girls."
Sayimu showed his middle finger to An Gumihan.
This was an insulting gesture, but the Indian just smiled and didn't take it seriously, because this gesture is almost the most common greeting gesture among the members of the Zodiac Team.
"That Alice listens to you, boss, will you win all that Thompson's underwear tonight?" Qian Jun's voice said.
Xia Lei smiled and shook his head, "Tonight's bet will be divided into two. The first time I will lose 200,000 US dollars. The second time I will win. I will win as much as the other party has."
Several members of the Zodiac Team looked at Xia Lei with strange eyes, but it only lasted a few seconds.
"Are you trying to take a long-term approach to catch big fish?" Qian Jun was the first to react.
Xia Lei nodded, "I gave Alice 100,000 U.S. dollars, and I lost another 200,000 U.S. dollars to Alice tonight. This money was all given to Alice, not to Thompson. Thompson is a gambler, and he I will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but if he wants to bet with me, I will raise the standard to 3 million U.S. dollars. And Thompson only has about 300,000 U.S. dollars in hand. If he wants to bet with me, he will have to borrow money. .”
"But can he borrow so much money in the casino?" Tsukino Kyoko said.
Xia Lei said: "With his status, the loan shark will of course lend to him. He borrows the money, and we buy his IOU from the loan shark."
"Can an IOU threaten him to obey?" Saimu said worriedly: "Thompson is a brigadier general, and he will not give in easily."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes. Find me some extras with better acting skills. I don't need to tell you what props are needed to collect loan sharks, right?"
"Leave it to me to take charge of this matter. My informant can handle it." Saimu said.
"This is best. Give me a call after your people are done." Xia Lei said.
"Wait for my call." Saimu left the study.
Qianjun hesitated for a moment before speaking out, "Boss, the matter of killing Hattori Mei... I made a mistake. I'm sorry. I heard about the incident of being born in the 6th Military Hospital in Kyoto. If I had not made a mistake, that matter would not have happened. gave birth."
Xia Lei stood up and walked to Jun's side and patted Qian Jun on the shoulder, "It's not your fault. With your shooting skills, it's impossible to miss. It's very possible that she noticed something and deliberately let her substitute die. Create the illusion that she has been shot. Hattori Mei is a very cunning woman, I even suspect that she used your hand to kill her father Hattori Masao. So, you don’t have to be sorry for this."
Qian Jun nodded. Xia Lei's words made him feel relieved.
Xia Lei said: "You have stayed in the United States the longest. Have you received any information from my father?"
Qian Jun said: "No, Saimu and I have actually been searching for Dad's whereabouts, but you know Dad's style. If he doesn't want to be found, he will evaporate from the world and no one can find him. arrive."
Xia Lei felt disappointed. He got four children, and his father Xia Changhe also got four grandchildren, but he didn't show up even on such an important day. He couldn't help but think about what was the most important thing in his father's life
8 p.m., MGM Mirage Casino.
A good-looking mixed-race young man was sitting alone in front of a slot machine playing slot machines. He had very bad luck. He came here after 7 o'clock and lost 100,000 US dollars in less than an hour.
The casino liked buyers like him the most. Behind him stood two bunny girls, one holding a wine tray and the other holding pastries, waiting for him at any time.
This mixed-race young man is Xia Lei.
Behind Xia Lei, many people stared at him, and many people speculated on how much money this prodigal son would have to lose before he would give up.
Thompson was among the group, as was his woman, Alice.
"Did you see that?" Alice leaned into Thompson's ear and whispered: "What I said is correct, he is the kind of person who takes money to have fun all over the world. This is an opportunity, a chance to make a fortune. Opportunity. People like us may only encounter this once in our lives."
"Is he still willing to bet with me?" Thompson looked worried.
"That's not a problem. He made an appointment with me last night. Just wait for me and I'll go talk to him first." Alice left Thompson and walked towards Xia Lei.
Thompson watched from a distance. He saw Alice greeting Xia Lei, the two chatted for a few words, and then Xia Lei got up from the slot machine and followed her away. A sneer appeared on the corner of Thompson's mouth, and he said secretly: "You are stupid, but you are also lustful."
Xia Lei followed Alice to a VIP room.
"He's coming," said Alice.
"Don't say irrelevant words to me." Xia Lei reminded.
"I'm sorry, I... will pay attention." Alice then turned around and waved to Thompson, motioning for Thompson to come over.
While Alice was waiting for Thompson, Xia Lei had already opened the hall and entered the VIP room. Then Alice and Thompson entered the VIP room.
"Mr. James, do you still remember me?" Thompson walked up to Xia Lei and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xia Lei.
Xia Lei turned around and walked to the other side of the gambling table. After sitting down, he said, "I'm not here to make friends, Miss Alice. Your friends can stay, but don't affect us."
Thompson's face suddenly turned ugly, but he still endured it and did not do anything. He does enjoy a high status and is respected in the army, but this is a casino, and the opponent is an illegitimate prince. They are not his soldiers, and there is nothing he can do if they don't give him face.
Alice leaned close to Thompson's ear and whispered: "Dear, leave him alone, our goal is his money."
Thompson nodded, "You try playing with him, and I'll give you some advice."
Alice sat across from Xia Lei and placed the reward of 100,000 US dollars on the gambling table.
Xia Lei frowned, "Do you want to play with me for just such a small amount of money? I think playing slot machines is more fun."
Alice said: "You lost all this money to me. I am confident that I can beat you, so there is no need to bring a lot of money. What, don't you have the confidence to beat me?"
"Hehe, you're not too shy, so I'll play a few games with you." Xia Lei waved to the dealer, "Bring me my chips."
"Okay sir." The croupier was very polite, and then said with the intercom: "Bring in Mr. James's chips."
Soon, several waiters came in holding large plates with chips, and then they all placed Xia Lei's chips on the gaming table. By visual inspection, the number of chips is approximately US$5 million.
Thompson was immediately stunned by this scene and looked at the chips with bright eyes. He couldn't help but fantasize about what he could do after getting those chips, a seaside villa, a young and beautiful bikini girl, and even a scientific research yacht that he dreamed of taking him around the world...
People always like to fantasize and then fall into it.
