My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 522: Tracking

At the amusement park, Zhang Lei had just bought ice cream for his daughter and could finally take a breather.

The robot beside him suddenly lowered its head and whispered a report to the boss: "Boss, there are a few people who have been following us ever since we left the hotel."

Zhang Lei waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, let them come along. But increase the security around my wife and child; I don't want any accidents to happen."

The robot nodded and replied, "Don't worry, boss, we'll handle it."

Zhang Lei smiled and instructed, "Go find Zhang Wei later. Since he's in charge here, let him do some work."

The robot next to him, number 000, smiled and nodded: "Yes, boss."

Number 000 is Zhang Lei's bodyguard captain for this trip, who stays by his side at all times and follows his orders.

Zhang Lei then thought that he would need to use the system to exchange for another batch of special forces soldiers as bodyguards from his personal space later.

Soon, Zhang Lei entered the men's restroom and released people from the stalls one by one.

Just then, a man came in to use the restroom and saw so many people coming out of the same stall. He was so shocked that he blurted out, "Oh my god! What are they doing in there? How can so many people fit in there?"

Zhang Lei was the last one to come out.

The man looked Zhang Lei up and down, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly, his eyes filled with strange sympathy, and he kept glancing behind Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei felt uncomfortable under their gaze and frowned, asking, "What are you doing?"

Instead of getting angry, the man spoke with even more sympathy: "Brother, if I were surrounded and harassed by so many people, I would also lose my temper. Go ahead and vent. God will punish them."

Zhang Lei felt that this person was inexplicable and was filled with bad luck, so he quickly left, but he always felt that someone was watching him from behind.

The dozen or so special forces soldiers who emerged from the toilet quickly blended into the crowd, dispersed, and silently set up their defenses.

The day's fun has finally come to an end.

Zhang Lei, along with Ye Shuqin and their daughter, checked into another hotel.

Ye Shuqin looked at him with some confusion: "I was staying at that hotel just fine, why did you suddenly change?"

Zhang Lei explained with a smile, "You have to experience the atmosphere of different hotels, and besides, this one is in a quieter area."

Ye Shuqin didn't ask any further questions after hearing this.

After having dinner with his wife and daughter, Zhang Lei once again arrived at the Bellagio Casino with his bodyguards.

He didn't see Jessica this time, but Zhang Lei wasn't disappointed, since it was just a one-night stand.

This time, he was greeted by Sofia.

Sofia was delighted to see Zhang Lei and quickly walked over.

Zhang Lei smiled and praised, "Ms. Sophia is still so beautiful."

Sofia lowered her head shyly, feigning a coy smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Zhang Lei."

Zhang Lei looked at her: "Ms. Sophia, what's fun to do today?"

Sofia replied, "Mr. Zhang Lei, our boss Sergio has specially invited a very important person for you. You're sure to have a great time today."

Soon, Zhang Lei was led to an extremely luxurious private room.

Two bodyguards stood behind him, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

At that moment, Number 000 leaned close to Zhang Lei's ear and whispered, "Boss, there are gunmen nearby."

Zhang Lei smiled faintly, not caring at all: "It's okay, I'm best at double-crossing people."

Number 000 chuckled as well: "Don't worry, boss, this is no problem for us."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the casino owner, Sergio, came over with two men.

Before Zhang Lei could speak, Sergio took the initiative to say, "Mr. Zhang Lei, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "It's alright."

Sergio quickly introduced, "Mr. Zhang Lei, let me introduce you. This is Nicola, and this is Victor."

Zhang Lei sized up the two men; one was fat and the other thin, one short and the other tall, the contrast was striking.

Nikolai and Victor were also sizing up Zhang Lei at the same time.

Nikola spoke first, impatiently: "Sergio, get started already. I make millions every minute, don't waste my time."

Victor chimed in, "Exactly! It's just playing cards, let's begin."

Sergio quickly smoothed things over: "Everyone, hold on, let's clarify the rules before we start. The minimum bet for each round is ten million, and the maximum is two hundred million. How about that?"

Victor waved his hand: "I have no objection."

Nikolai nodded: "It doesn't matter."

Zhang Lei knew perfectly well that this was because he had gambled too recklessly yesterday, and the other party had deliberately set a limit for him. However, he didn't care. Yesterday, number 000 had told him that his eyes could see through the cards, and today he could try it out.

Zhang Lei handed a bank card to Sophia: "There are one billion US dollars in here. Please exchange them for chips for me so I can play for a while."

Sofia looked at Sergio, and seeing him nod, she immediately went downstairs to exchange for chips.

Before long, the chips were ready.

The chips held by the four people at the table totaled nearly five billion, a considerable sum.

The dealer begins dealing the first card.

Sergio, as the host, placed the first bet: "Since I'm first, I can't be stingy, so I'll bet twenty million."

Victor added, "I'll have twenty million too."

Nikolai glanced at the two men and said, "Thirty million."

This time, Zhang Lei didn't try to be reckless; he simply called the bet: "Thirty million."

Sergio saw that Zhang Lei had only bet 30 million, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He felt that a slow and steady approach would make the opponent lose more thoroughly.

The second card was dealt, and Sergio received a nine. He raised again: "Fifty million."

Victor looked at his cards; they were a jumbled mess, not a straight. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately called: "I'll bet fifty million too."

Nikolai laughed and added, "Me too, fifty million."

Zhang Lei didn't even look at his own cards, yawned, and said, "How long is this going to go on? I'm not playing this round."

The other three were all stunned. Only the third card had been dealt when Zhang Lei actually folded.

Nobody knew that Zhang Lei had an Ace in both his face-up and face-down cards, making his hand extremely strong.

Seeing Zhang Lei withdraw, the three had no choice but to continue the game, raising the stakes round after round, with each person investing nearly 200 million chips. In the end, Sergio's card skills were superior, and he won the game.

Zhang Lei observed everything with a detached eye, taking it all in.

The second game begins.

Nikola immediately retorted, "Sergio, kick this guy out of the game! Look at him, he's not even willing to place a bet, how can he play?"

Victor chimed in.

Sergio then played the good cop: "Don't misunderstand, everyone. Maybe Mr. Zhang Lei is playing for the first time and is a little inexperienced. He'll get used to it after a few more rounds. I believe Mr. Zhang won't fold easily next time."
