Las Vegas.
In the car, Zhen Zhen stared at Yue Gu Zai's ID for three minutes.
'Gu Zai, is this fake?' Zhen Zhen asked.
Zhen Wu was sleeping soundly in Yue Gu Zai's arms. Yue Gu Zai didn't want to wake up Zhen Wu so he spoke softly to Zhen Zhen.
'Do you think I would forge something like this?' Yue Gu Zai asked Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen thought it was impossible Yue Gu Zai who was a triad boss could also hold the position of the head of the National Security Department.
Yue Gu Zai didn't think much of being head of the National Security Department. The national government couldn't control Ni Sheng's operations so the national government struck a deal with Yue Gu Zai. The national government agreed to turn a blind eye to Ni Sheng's operations if Yue Gu Zai promised not to do anything to terrorize the public. Yue Gu Zai thought the national government benefited more from their agreement, because Ni Sheng supplied most of the national government's weapons.
Zhen Wu didn't want to sleep, because he thought seeing his dad in action at the port was more exciting than his dad taking him out to play. But his young body was tired. He hugged his dad in his sleep.
Zhen Zhen watched Zhen Wu sleep in Yue Gu Zai's arms while she thought about the day's traumatic events. She was grateful Yue Gu Zai was there by hers and Zhen Wu's side. She didn't want to think about what would have happened to her and Zhen Wu if Yue Gu Zai and his gang members weren't there to save her and Zhen Wu.
Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Zhen took Zhen Wu home safely. Yue Gu Zai left Zhen Wu in teacher's care, and he hired extra guards to protect Zhen Wu while he and Zhen Zhen were in Las Vegas. Afterward he, Zhen Zhen and the others went to the airport and boarded a private plane to Las Vegas.
Near the end of the plane trip, Yue Gu Zai, Chu Gian, Bai Yu Tian and Huyen Di folded their cards in a game of poker. Cheng Yi thought Zhen Zhen was bluffing, and he went all in.
'Miss Zhen Zhen, are you going to fold?' Cheng Yi asked.
'Cheng Yi, don't gloat too soon,' Zhen Zhen said.
'Miss Zhen Zhen, don't say I didn't warn you, I have a trump card,' Cheng Yi said.
'Zhen Zhen, Cheng Yi is bluffing,' Yue Gu Zai said.
Zhen Zhen trusted Yue Gu Zai's intuition. Besides, she had nothing to fear even if she lost because Yue Gu Zai gave her a gold card.
'Boss, you shouldn't underestimate the cards in my hands,' Cheng Yi said.
'All in,' Zhen Zhen said.
Cheng Yi and Zhen Zhen showed their cards, Zhen Zhen had a royal flush and she won the poker game.
Zhen Zhen looked out the window, the plane landed at McCarran International Airport.
'Gu Zai, where are you planning to go after we land?' Zhen Zhen asked.
'Las Vegas,' Yue Gu Zai said. 'Chu Gian will take you to a safe place to rest first.'
'Gu Zai, take me to Las Vegas with you,' Zhen Zhen said.
'Miss Zhen Zhen, have you caught the gambling fever?' Chen Yi asked.
'No,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I want to go sightseeing in Las Vegas.'
'Alright,' Yue Gu Zai said. 'Zhen Zhen I'll take you with me. But Chu Gian will be your guard. I don't want anything to happen to you.'
Zhen Zhen nodded her head.
Later at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Zhen Zhen was amazed by the neon lights and water fountains.
'Miss Zhen Zhen, wipe your drool,' Cheng Yi said. 'Control your country bumpkin side. You're boss' wife, do you want everyone to think he married a country bumpkin?'
'So what if I'm a country bumpkin?' Zhen Zhen said. 'It's not my problem if Gu Zai married a country bumpkin.'
Cheng Yi knew Yue Gu Zai was happy for Zhen Zhen to be herself so Cheng Yi let her be.
Zhen Zhen looked at all the different table games, and flashing lights. Occasionally she touched statues, and jumped if water sprouted out of a water fountain.
'Gu Zai, I don't want to go to the VIP room with you,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I want to go play downstairs. Come get me when you're done.'
'Chu Gian, go downstairs with Zhen Zhen,' Yue Gu Zai said.
'Gu Zai, I promise I won't leave the casino,' Zhen Zhen said. 'Chu Gian doesn't need to babysit me. Nothing will happen to me.'
'OK,' Yue Gu Zai said. 'Don't leave the casino.'
Zhen Zhen nodded her head, and she walked downstairs.
At the cashier station, Zhen Zhen contemplated for a long time how much money she should exchange for chips.
'Fifty thousand,' Zhen Zhen said and gave the gold card to cashier.
The cashier gave back the gold card, and fifty orange chips to Zhen Zhen. Zhen Zhen forgot to tell the cashier she wanted fifty thousand Yuan instead of fifty thousand dollars. But she happily accepted the fifty orange chips, and she walked to the baccarat table.
Zhen Zhen placed fifty orange chips on the baccarat table, and the dealer dealt her an eight card and an ace card. She won one hundred orange chips, and she drew a big crowd to the baccarat table. She left the one hundred orange chips on the table, and the dealer dealt her a nine card and a king card. She won two hundred orange chips.
After Zhen Zhen won more than one million dollars, a security guard alerted the casino manager Tina.
'Miss Tina, a young woman won more than one million dollars at the baccarat table,' the security guard reported.
Tina was dressed in a black pants suit, which showed off her long legs.
'Is she playing dirty?' Tina asked.
'No,' the security guard said.
'What do you mean no?' Tina asked. 'Take me to her.'
After Zhen Zhen won the sixth game in a row, she wanted to take her winnings and leave the baccarat table. But Tina's guards restrained Zhen Zhen's arms, and they pulled her to a private room.
'Let go of me,' Zhen Zhen said. 'What do you want?'
