-How many points? -4, 5 and 6 = 15 points.
Wrong!
How could I have heard it wrongly? It was 4, 5 and 6.
What is different about this one?
The surface is smoother.
And...
It's lighter. It doesn't look like ivory.
You're right. This is not ivory. This is plastic.
I got it wrong because the dice is made of different material.
Of course.
Because plastic dice are softer and the bottom of the cup is hard,
the sound they give out when they hit each other is...
the opposite of the sound given out by ivory dice
That's why you heard it wrongly.
So if I hear the sound of 4, 5 and 6,
it should be the exact opposite, 1, 2 and 3.
Correct.
Thanks, Dad.
It's only now that I realize...
there is so much to learn about this game.
Remember, gambling not only depends on your observation and skill,
the tools used are also crucially important.
To be a real king of gambling, you must know...
the features and characteristics of all the tools.
Only then can you win by surprise. Do you understand?
I do.
Are your hands burnt?
Why didn't you ask for help? What if you get scalded?
What's wrong?
What's happened, Xiaoxing?
I want to drink.
I'll get it for you.
Thank you, Dad.
"Fortunately, you were quick in bringing him in for the operation.
"If you were 2 hours late, his brain would be damaged.
"He would become retarded and his life would be in danger."
"Thank you, Doctor."
Cheng, I know you're around. Please let me talk to you.
I beg you not to hide from me.
Wenxin...
Is he all right?
He's had an operation. He should be all right.
Just now in the room, Jiang Xueming asked you to marry him, didn't he?
You don't like him at all. How can you be married to him?
Cheng, I...
Am I being too selfish?
If you'd said no and left him alone, he would really have died.
I can't do that.
But I really can't control myself.
I missed you a lot.
-Yan Fei looked me up. -He did?!
Do you know that he forced me to leave you?
I told him I'd already given up the idea of going steady with you.
But he didn't believe me. He said I was toying with your feeling.
He asked why I couldn't be with you.
I couldn't control myself.
Outside the room a while ago, I asked this question.
"Weicheng, forget it. Just give it up.
"You were leaving anyway. It would be even more painful if you see her."
Are you serious about leaving?
That's right.
I wanted so much to become the global king of gamblers.
But it was precisely this ambition which...
caused everybody to misunderstand me.
They accused me of being spineless for crossing over to Ye Zhong.
They said I toyed with your feeling because I wanted to hurt Yan Fei.
But why? Why can't I be with you?
Cheng, I understand your intention.
You can't wear this ring.
Because you belong to me.
I know I shouldn't betray Xueming.
But I need you even more.
Wenxin, we will leave this place together.
I don't want to be the global king of gamblers.
And you won't leave Xueming.
If only we can be happy together, other things aren't important.
10 minutes is over and Mr Zhuang Weicheng is still not here.
Sir, we cannot wait for him any longer.
It should be a walkover.
Mr Ding, do you mind challenging me for the throne?
Daddy, I was so worried for you.
You're all right. That's good.
Sir, I'd like to go there for a while.
Not so loud. He Ling is watching us.
Daddy is safe.
So I can play the game without any worries...
"Mr Zhuang Weicheng is here..."
Don't move!
Here is the second round!
That's the end of the second round. Please lift the cup.
The first one is Mr Ding Zhaohui.
The second is Miss He Ling.
The third is Mr Zhuang Weicheng.
We will ask Mr He to declare the winner.
Ding Zhaohui 36 dice,
He Ling 35,
Zhuang Weicheng 37.
Miss He, if you have no more business here, please leave.
Otherwise, you may affect the proceeding.
Mr Ding, you'll be responsible for what you've done!
Please let me down. I will accede to all your demands.
Uncle Ding...!
The final of the New Generation King of Gamblers is being contested..
between Mr Ding Zhaohui and Mr Zhuang Weicheng.
They will fight for the title which carries a price money of US�10 mil.
The final game is Show-hand. The best of three wins.
The person with the largest amount of chips will be the winner.
Do the contestants have anything else to say?
Otherwise, we will start the first game.
Winning or losing isn't important for me.
You're going to marry soon.
I was thinking what I should give you as a present.
Nobody will reject the price of US�10 mil.
But the title of being the new generation king of gamblers is...
the most precious gift one can get.
I'll go along...
Three million...
Queen of spade...
Again, three million...
Another three million...
You seem to know this card!
Mr Zhuang Weicheng won the first game!
Open the card!
So you got what you wanted!
Mr Ding Zhaohui won the second game!
The third game will begin now!
Since you haven't seen your card, let's go for broke!
Lady Luck is smiling on you - good things will come to you in pairs!
Zhuang Weicheng, you cheated me!
I didn't cheat you. It's you who is too dumb!
The winner is a king and the loser a bandit!
Moreover, I've never said that I would concede the title to you!
You're despicable! You play tricks on me!
The winner has been decided. You must accept the rules.
The means is not important. The goal is what it is!
This year's Global King of Gamblers contest is won by Mr Zhuang Weicheng.
Mr Zhuang is the new generation global king of gamblers.
Mr Zhuang, please come forward to the rostrum.
What? Daddy is in hospital.
What happened?
Fei called - Daddy is admitted to an intensive care unit.
But a while ago...
What happened?
When Daddy called just now, he said he was all right.
What time did he call you?
Two hours ago.
That's impossible.
When I got to the garage, your daddy was tied and hung in the air.
Doctor, how is my son?
Sorry, we've done our best.
Congratulations on your becoming the global king of gamblers.
I can't be any happier than this.
Thank you, Master.
If you hadn't reminded me about Guoding's voice recording,
Ding Zhaohui would have beaten me just to help He Ling.
You're a good actor. Otherwise, Ding wouldn't have been taken in.
Excellent!
This mood and expression of yours right now is just excellent!
You are now the Global King of Gamblers.
You must have this kind of defiant posture.
You must be vicious! You must be ruthless!
I understand, sir.
You are the king and I'm the one who is the happiest.
You name any gambling skill, none is capable of beating ours!
You are right.
Cheng, you've just stepped into the gambling world.
But you haven't really won a battle.
You mean...
After the death of Huang Guoding,
the gangs led by Long Tingguang and Yan Fei will kill each other.
If they pursue the matter, sooner or later you will get burnt.
I will try everything I can to let them maul each other!
Were you the one who sent your men to kill Huang Guoding?
He Ling lost the game. How could you let him go?
He is no relation of yours. Why do you get so uptight?
Nobody cares if he lives or dies. No use keeping him around.
You think he is of no use, so you have him killed!
You remind me of something.
He Ling is equally useless.
She shamed me by losing the game.
It's a matter of time I get rid of her!
You're utterly inhuman!
I like this statement of yours.
I have everything in this world. But what I lack is human instinct!
It's you!
You two stay here and be good. Otherwise, you'll get it from me!
Wenxin, did those two do anything to you?
No. What on earth is happening?
I woke up early but you weren't around.
When I got on to the deck,
those two pointed their guns at me and brought me here.
Anything else?
Nothing. What on earth is going on?
That cur had every movement of ours monitored!
This morning, I thought of taking the boat away from this place.
But his men pointed their guns at me and dragged me to the casino.
Really? I knew nothing at all. I was sound asleep!
Ye Zhong even threatened me.
If I were to lose the game,
he would rape you and throw you off to feed the sharks!
I shouldn't have agreed. But I was afraid you might be in trouble.
So I went to the casino and I beat Zhaohui.
I didn't intend to beat Zhaohui.
But Ye Zhong threatened to harm you if I lost the game.
Wenxin, I don't want you to get hurt, you understand?
I, too, am partly responsible for Huang Guoding's death.
Please don't get so upset.
It has nothing to do with you.
And Huang Guoding's death has nothing to do with you.
Moreover, Huang is such a crook. He deserved to die!
I won't allow you to leave me, understand?
I'd rather take the rap than allow people to harm you!
Me too!
Sorry to barge in!
What are you doing here? You're not welcome!
Huang Guoding has sold this house.
What did you say?
He signed the title deed himself. Have a look!
Who can prove that Ding has sold this house?
Huang needed a large amount of cash.
So he had his other properties and this house sold to my master.
-Your master? -Ye Zhong.
You're just out to bully us, a widower and his lonely son...
Look at these robbers. They're forcing us to move...
Mdm Huang, it is Mr Ding Zhaohui that you should blame!
Zhuang Weicheng, do your job if you have to.
What has it got to do with Zhaohui?
Ding knew that Huang Guoding was being held as hostage.
But he went ahead and took part in the contest.
If he really loved you, he would have abstained.
Huang Guoding might not have been put to death!
So Ding's death was caused by you! You only thought about the throne!
Granny, how could you believe what he said?
I was the one who received Daddy's call.
Someone impersonated him over the phone.
We went ahead with the game only when we thought Daddy was safe.
Zhaohui isn't one who only thinks about his own interest.
You are the ones who killed Guoding!
If you want to create a scene, do it outside.
Now this place belongs to Mr Ye!
Are you ready?
If you are, we'll start!
Master!
Do you know how to use a computer?
-A little. -Which means you don't!
This is high-tech. We'll talk again when you've mastered it!
-I will try my best. -Trying your best isn't talent!
My son, Wenfeng, did have talent!
I don't know much about computers.
But I asked people to go through...
the computer gambling programmes written by Wenfeng.
Long Tingguang, you think I'm hiding away.
I've been trying to expand on what Wenfeng has written.
Once I've mastered the skill and have my own way of playing it.
Long Tingguang, Yan Fei, Luo Qifang... you are all nothing to me!
Zhaohui, why aren't you saying anything?
Say something, Zhaohui!
What else can I say?
I suppose you were hoping to hear this from me:
"Jia-er, don't you worry and don't you be afraid.
"I will avenge your father's death."
But I can't force myself to say it.
I can't even avenge my father's death, let alone yours.
I'm really a bum!
Stop reproaching yourself, Zhaohui!
How can I?
I suspect Ye Zhong of killing my father.
But now, I can't even find where he is!
I lost to Ye Zhong's disciple and I was cheated by him.
I am utterly useless. I've let Master down.
Jia-er, sorry. Please don't cry. I'm to blame for giving you worries.
I'm afraid. I really am!
I caused Daddy's death. I was the one who killed him...
Your daddy's death has nothing to do with you. Stop imagining things!
Uncle was afraid that He Ling might create further trouble.
He didn't want a burial and he didn't want First Uncle to come.
Granny was swearing loud that she didn't want a cremation.
And Shaona said I should start looking for a job.
I realized that I'm no longer a daughter of a rich family.
Whatever happens, I will be by your side.
I will find a lawyer to help you redeem the house.
Jia-er, what are you trying to do?
Jia-er, tell me if you have any problems!
Silly girl, stop doing silly things, OK?
Don't be afraid and don't do silly things.
Should anything happen, I'll still be around.
Come on, stop crying.
Dad, is anything the matter?
I beg you to come up with something new!
Stop abusing that family bondage of yours!
Long Tingguang, I've something to talk to you.
I have no time for you!
No shooting! No shooting!
Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it.
Mr Long, today I've come to reason with you.
To me, you're worse than a cur.
You're not fit to reason with me!
I know you're also a king of gamblers.
The moment you're not happy, my brother is dead!
He was also part of the underworld where friends and foes co-exist.
He is dead, so be it. But...
Then shoot me! Go ahead!
You two put down your guns!
Pull the trigger and you'll avenge your brother's death!
But do you dare to do it?!
I've come here to reason with you.
I have no time to quibble with you. Throw him out!
Long Tingguang, I know I can't possibly kill you.
But we, the Huangs, are not to be trifled with either!
Let me tell you this: stay away from Jia-er!
She is so young. In what way she's offended you?
She is only 18 or 19 years old. She is only a young girl...
What has happened to Jia-er?
Yesterday, she was holding this gun.
She was crying while holding it. She wanted to kill herself.
She's become like this all because you killed her father.
You want me to let him go?
I would in the past, but now I won't.
Dad, go...quick!
Who says Huang Wu can leave this place?
You think I dare not pull the trigger?
It's my fault. I'm to blame!
I'm all right. It's just a bruise.
-Let's go to hospital. -Yes, let's go, quick!
If you do this too many times, nobody will be moved!
It's your own daughter who is wounded. Are you still a human?!
Say no more. Take Qifang to hospital, quick!
You said we employed this trick to win your sympathy.
You're wrong! I don't intend to win your sympathy at all!
I intend to harm you. I intend to make you regret!
You said you never treated me like your daughter and that...
you never felt for me.
I deliberately got myself hurt.
I'm going to gamble with you.
So long as you're Long Tingguang, I'll forever be Long Jiajia.
I don't believe you won't feel for me at all!
Does it still hurt?
Why were you so silly?
Uncle Wu had the gun on your father, yet you just rushed towards him.
Fortunately, it wasn't serious.
If it was serious, what are Xiaoxing and I supposed to do?
I didn't expect that they'd hate each other so much.
I couldn't take it any more.
I wanted to see how they would react to my being wounded.
You saw it yourself. He didn't feel anything at all.
He doesn't have any feeling of kinship at all?
Don't be silly.
Even if you got hurt and died, he wouldn't be moved at all.
Those who will suffer would be you and those close to you.
Sorry, Fei.
It's only a minor injury. I'm okay. I mean it.
We'll go home and let Father know.
If Xiaoxing asks, just tell him I tripped.
If Dad knows that you're okay, he'll be very happy.
Not bad at all. You could still play chess on your own!
Don't you think the two of us should sit down and have a nice chat.
You're wrong.
There is nothing to talk between a loser and a winner.
Is winning and losing so important to you?
Of course. At least winning is better than losing.
But I know that you're very concerned about Qifang's injury.
You're wrong.
Even if she were to drop dead here, I would have nothing to do with her.
You feel bad she is injured.
Why did you have to force her into such a situation?
I don't have any human instinct. You should have known that!
I didn't force her. It was Yan Fei who forced her to become his wife.
You forced her to gamble with me over human instinct.
You were driving her crazy!
Why keep deceiving yourself?
Let me ask you. Who helped Xiaoxing take down the biscuits?
Why didn't Xiaoxing's hand get scalded? Who was helping him?
Long Tingguang, can you vouch that...
you don't have the slightest trace of human instinct?
These Lucky matches were given to me a while ago at the lounge.
That person said just scratch them and they will bring me good luck.
It's no use relying on your luck.
You must rely on yourself in whatever you do.
I am the Lucky Boy who is no longer lucky.
It won't help even if I work hard.
Isn't it true?
Both my father and Jia-er's father became victims.
My master's date with Long Tingguang is two days from now.
I can't do anything to help. I'm really useless.
I even have no idea what is lying ahead of me.
"Zhaohui is so depressed, yet I can't help him.
"My wife is almost driven to crazy, yet I can't do anything.
"Wenxin knows that Zhuang Weicheng is deceiving her,
"but what have I done for her?
"I couldn't even hold a birthday party for Xiaoxing.
"Yes, I want to do what I ought to do.
"Qifang, Father, Xiaoxing, Wenxin, Zhaohui and Jia-er...
"I'm going to do something for these six persons.
"I hope these Lucky matches will bring me good luck.
"After that, I'm going to confront Long Tingguang all by myself.
Drink some water, Grandpa.
Today's sun is so beautiful!
Being blind, you already have problems taking care of yourself.
By bringing him to the beach, do you know how dangerous it can be?
Do you know what the setting sun looks like?
To a blind, the world is but a blanket of darkness.
How are you going to describe to him the beauty of the setting sun?
Even though I cannot see what the setting sun is like,
what matters is that there is a setting sun in my heart.
It's like in a family, every member must have love.
Otherwise, they are no different from the blind.
I'd like to take you to a person.
-Who is it? -You'll come to know it.
We're here. Come over!
He Ling is the person who killed your father.
I saw her doing it with my own eyes.
Didn't you say you wanted to take revenge?
Just hold the gun, point at her and pull the trigger!
Why are you afraid?
Go ahead and shoot her. Avenge your father's death!
And didn't you want to be with Zhaohui?
I want to kill nobody! Don't force me!
Miss Huang, don't shoot!
I've nothing to do with your father's death.
It was Long Tingguang who forced me...
Let her go, Fei. Don't kill her...
I know you're frightened to death!
You've never thought of avenging your father's death!
I don't know. I just don't know...
You'd better go.
What are you waiting?!
I saw your gun pointing at your father's killer.
You have no guts at all to avenge your father's death.
How could you have the guts to kill yourself?
I don't know why I went to buy a gun.
I wanted to kill myself but I was scared.
I'm scared. I'm terribly scared...
It's already in the past. Don't think about it any more.
But you must promise me not to do anything silly.
You want me to propose to Jia-er?
No way. Before I take my revenge, I'll not think about love affairs.
Can you stop thinking about revenge?
Didn't you say you were fond of Jia-er? Then you must let her know.
Go now, or you'll regret it.
I went with her to find the person who killed her father.
But she didn't dare to pull the trigger.
It shows that she never wants to seek revenge.
If she can forget about all this, why can't you?
She isn't the same as me.
Whatever happens, I must find the person who killed my father!
Can you find the evidence?
Even if you're sure Ye Zhong killed your father,
can you pit yourself against him?
So you think nothing of me!
Even if Ye Zhong didn't do it, I will still find the killer!
I slapped you on behalf of Uncle Fan!
Do you know how nervous your father was when you were taken by Long Tingguang?
He came and knelt before me asking for help.
He knelt before me, you know that?!
He said he didn't take good care of you.
I believe his spirit in Heaven wouldn't want you to take revenge!
He would want to see you lead a happy life.
Not the way you are now!
Just look at me.
My whole life is beset with this word `revenge'.
My family is torn apart and I've never been happy.
Do you want to be like me?!
Zhaohui, forget it...
I know you are good to me. But I just can't forget...
Let's leave the past behind us.
What needs to be done is this.
You should know what to do.
Get going...
