The Gambler!

Two people, a man and a woman, dressed in black, arrived in Hong Kong.

"Big group, Ren water Ding Fire have arrived at the designated location."

"Attention, large and small teams. Your objective this time is to bring back everything related to the target. See the information sheet for details. Be careful."

"Yes."

Ren Shui ended the communication, and a black sedan pulled up in front of the two of them.

The two got into the car, and the driver in front handed them a document.

Ren Shui took the document and turned to the first page. "Target tentatively called Gambler, age 26, male, real name Zhang Yuanqing."

"He has a criminal record and was arrested for gambling. He came to Hong Kong in recent months and frequents a private casino."

"According to the information team's investigation, the target has never lost a single move in the past few months, suggesting that he may have some kind of super luck ability or some kind of Containment Object used for cheating."

"In our initial investigation, we simultaneously arranged for four groups of people to set up traps to test him, and the target would always stop early when he was not sure that he would lose."

"Therefore, the possibility of having mind-reading abilities cannot be ruled out."

"The target has not shown any aggressiveness so far, and the danger level is tentatively set at D+."

After reviewing the general information, Ren Shui handed the information sheet to Ding Fire.

Ding Fire is a woman with a slender figure, giving people a delicate and refined feeling. She is meticulous in her work, very perceptive of information, and good at understanding people's hearts.

They were paired with Ren Shui, and the number of missions they went on together at the beginning was not very large.

Because when Ren water first went on missions, it often got injured and wounded, and each time it had to rest for a period of time.

Ding Fire didn't complain at all and often visited Ren Shui in the hospital.

Later, as Ren Shui went on more and more missions, he began to get injured less and less.

Their ability to execute tasks has gradually become stronger.

This certainly refreshed Ding Fire's view on Ren Water.

In her view, those with the Ren water element are not only ambitious and hardworking, but also possess talent.

This is already their fourth mission this month.

It's worth noting that they've already made a significant breakthrough by going from one task per month at the beginning to four tasks every two weeks now.

Although it still can't compare to the group with Jia Wood.

Jia Wood is the most efficient among them, able to complete more than ten containment missions a month, but the workload is still too high.

Their team hardly ever rested; they would set off immediately whenever there was a mission.

This level of intensity might be too much for Ding Fire to handle.

Paired with Ren water, this unhurried and gradual approach is more suitable for Ding Fire.

"Zhang Yuanqing is from Baoding, Hebei. His parents divorced when he was ten years old. Zhang Yuanqing was then adopted by his father Zhang Dahe. After being imprisoned for gambling, he lost contact with his father."

"Judging from the information, the target this time is a bit too ordinary."

As the driver drove, Ren Shui calmly looked out the window. "The more inconspicuous Containment Object seems, the more unexpected dangers it can bring. When its abilities and characteristics are unclear, we should still be conservative in our approach."

Ding Fire nodded. "Then, as before, I'll make contact in disguise?"

Ren water always adopts a relatively conservative approach to complete tasks. When intelligence is lacking, Ding Fire is usually sent to approach the target.

"I'll do it this time."

"Is there no problem?"

"It should be fine."

"Oh well."

Inside a high-end club in Hong Kong.

Ren Shui changed into a presentable outfit, got out of the car, and before leaving, the driver handed him a black card and a black briefcase.

"Let's be careful with the labor costs this time."

Ren Shui took the black card and put it in his pocket, then carried his briefcase into the club.

As soon as he entered, a man stopped him. "Do you have an appointment?"

Ren Shui calmly took out the black card, and the other party immediately lowered their hand upon seeing this.

Ren water entered it, and Ding Fire's voice came through the miniature earpiece.

"Let's test if there are any interference devices inside the facility. Can you hear me?"

Ren Shui gave a soft "hmm" and then, led by the receptionist, took the elevator to the third floor of the club.

The third floor appears to be a bar, and there are quite a few people sitting there because the casino here is not open 24 hours.

It is only open at night.

Some people arrive early and wait here.

Soon, Ren Shui spotted Zhang Yuanqing in a corner.

"Mission objective identified."

Ren Shui went to the bar, ordered a drink, and then walked over with the glass in his hand.

"There shouldn't be anyone here, right?"

Zhang Yuanqing looked up at him and said, "No."

Based on initial assessment, the other party's ability is likely not mind reading.

Is it possible to read minds through physical contact?

No, if it were used in a casino, relying on physical contact to read minds would be discovered very quickly.

Ren Shui took his seat, casually placed the black card and briefcase on the table, and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"This is the most agonizing time of the day, and I've brought plenty of supplies today."

Upon hearing Ren Shui's words, Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the black card and briefcase on the table and asked, "Oh, brother, which table will you be at later?"

The fish has taken the bait.

Ren Shui crossed his legs and said, "It depends on my mood. Anyway, I come out to have fun, so I'll just sit wherever I feel comfortable."

"Interested in sharing a table?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"Sharing a table?"

"Judging from your tone, you're an expert?" Ren Shui said.

Zhang Yuanqing took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "No way, I just got lucky. I was just messing around."

If you're lucky.

Upon hearing this, Ren Shui took out a deck of cards from his pocket. "What a coincidence, me too. We've been waiting all this time anyway, so why not play a game to pass the time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing calmly raised his head and asked, "With bets?"

Ren Shui smiled and said, "I'll bet as much as you bet."

"Okay, that's bright and airy."

As Zhang Yuanqing spoke, he took out a bundle of cash from his pocket and slammed it on the table.

"Not much, ten thousand Hong Kong dollars."

Upon seeing this, Ren Shui recalled a piece of information on the information sheet.

The other party always brought very little capital, but always left with a huge profit.

An invisible dark light flashed in Ren Shui's eyes, and a black humanoid phantom appeared behind him.

"I told you, whatever you bet, I'll bet the same."

Ren Shui casually handed the cards to Zhang Yuanqing, saying, "You go first."

Zhang Yuanqing shuffled the cards casually, without any particular technique.

When it was Ren Shui's turn, he simply cut the card and then drew a card from the middle, placed it on one side, and turned it over.

That card is a point.

The two casually drew two cards, and Ren Shui directly manipulated the phantom behind him to appear behind Zhang Yuanqing.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand and flipped over the corner of two playing cards; one was pointed and the other was circled.

That's quite a large base.

Ren Shui glanced at his cards again: a 2 and a Jack.

"So, are you still going to follow?"
