There were many things in the safe that couldn't see the light of day. Once they were exposed, not only would those officials suffer, even Li Rui couldn't escape responsibility.
Once Li Rui's past deeds were exposed, it would be a huge corruption case and the entire Li family would suffer a huge blow because of it.
As one of the most important members of the Li family, Li Rui absolutely couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
At the thought of these things falling into the hands of an unknown person, Li Rui's brows furrowed. He carefully thought about the ins and outs of the whole matter, wanting to find out the person who might have done it.
"Could it be her?"
The figure of another person immediately appeared in Li Rui's mind. She was also one of the three people who could open this safe, even though she didn't even touch this safe once.
This person who stole the safe might have done it purely for the money, for the hundreds of millions of deposits left by the rich people. Perhaps they weren't interested in other things.
But this safe was custom-made. Other than Li Rui and the other two people in the world, they could only go to the custom-made company to ask for the special password.
And this person must be Li Rui himself. Only the custom-made company over there would send someone to deal with it. No one else had this authority.
Basically, the possibility of others stealing Li Rui's identity to call the custom-made company to ask for the special password could also be ruled out …
Without a special password, if he wanted to open the safe, he had to have the password, key, fingerprint, and iris of the safe. These four things were all correct.
Excluding Li Rui himself, Li Hui could also basically be ruled out. It seemed that there was only one person left …
"It can't be her!"
It was just that when he thought of that person, Li Rui's trust in her exceeded Li Hui's. Even Li Hui might betray Li Rui, but she wouldn't do so.
She was Li Rui's most trusted person. For Li Rui, she would do almost anything, even if it meant losing her life.
Such a person would never betray Li Rui no matter what!
… …
"By the way, were there any unusual people in the casino today?"
Li Rui couldn't figure out what was going on with the safe at the moment, so he could only shift his attention to other things. When he looked at the surveillance footage to see who had entered the office, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked Li Hui a question …
"Unusual people?"
Li Hui was slightly taken aback. He frowned and thought about it. Then, he noticed the frozen image on the computer screen and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Yes, there is such a person …"
Li Hui immediately thought of a person. It was Yu Zheng, who he invited into the office to discuss how to deal with this matter. Although he felt that this person was strange before, he didn't associate Yu Zheng with the missing safe incident.
"This person's surname is Yu. He's from another city. His gambling skills are quite good …"
Thus, Li Hui simply told Li Rui about how Yu Zheng had appeared, how he had been invited to his office, and how he had been sent to participate in the gambling contest. Li Hui told Li Rui everything in detail.
"Have you investigated this person's background?"
After listening to Li Hui's introduction, Li Rui also felt that this Yu Zheng was very suspicious. Moreover, Yu Zheng and the others happened to be the last people to appear in Li Hui's office. Although the video showed that Yu Zheng and the other two left the office, there was still a certain degree of suspicion.
"I can't find anything …"
Li Hui shook his head. "They are not Ninghai locals at all, and there is no information about this person in the Casino Alliance's blacklist. I don't know his true identity for now … but I have sent people to investigate based on the information of the car they drove. I believe there will be results soon!"
When Qin Fang and the others came, they rented a Bentley to show that their identities were not ordinary. With Li Rui's influence in Ninghai, it was easy to find Yu Zheng's identity if they followed the clues.
"I know who he is …"
But at this moment, a man in the crowd saw this video. When he saw Yu Zheng's face in the video, he suddenly screamed.
"Who is this person?"
Li Rui was stunned. He immediately called the man over and asked very sternly. His eyes were overflowing with murderous intent, as if Yu Zheng was the person who stole the safe.
"If I'm not mistaken, this person's name is Yu Zheng. Fifteen years ago, he was Asia's gambling king. However, he mysteriously disappeared. Some people say that he was hacked to death, while others say that he retired after earning enough money. However, no one has seen him in more than ten years …"
The person who spoke was a conman raised by the casino. He was in charge of the casino to prevent other conmen from sneaking in and causing trouble …
The industry of swindlers was very narrow, especially those experts who had climbed to the peak. They were the role models and goals for many swindlers to catch up to.
Asia's Gambling King represented the strongest expert in Asia's gambling world. This was the highest honor for all conmen in Asia. Everyone wanted to be the king.
Although this swindler's level wasn't particularly strong, he was still familiar with the previous gambling kings. Although Yu Zheng's time of glory was very short, and the earth-shattering things he did were also very few. He was considered a relatively mysterious gambling king, so this swindler paid a little more attention to him.
Although more than ten years had passed and the young and handsome Yu Zheng had become a mature middle-aged uncle, it was still possible to tell from the contours of his face.
"Yu Zheng, Asia's Gambling King?"
However, Li Rui was obviously not particularly satisfied with such an answer. His face became gloomy.
If this conman said that Yu Zheng was an internationally famous thief, Li Rui might be able to accept it. This way, the loss of the safe could be considered a more normal explanation …
However, Yu Zheng was a Gambling King, a man who once stood at the peak of Asia's gambling world.
There was no Gambling King who lacked money. If he wanted money, he could easily win a lot of money in any casino. Just like today, he earned more than ten million with just a few rounds of cards. Then, he snuck into the gambling house. Although he had already bet, he earned more than thirty million in less than an hour …
In more than an hour, he earned more than thirty million without spending a penny. The strength of this Gambling King was unquestionable …
With such a speed of making money, it was much faster than robbing his safe.
The Bihai Pavilion's casino could only be regarded as a small business. Compared with the casinos in Macau and Las Vegas, it was not worth mentioning at all …
Although the cash and checks in Li Rui's safe added up to hundreds of millions, it was barely one hundred million USD when converted into US dollars.
A hundred million USD was in the casino, and it wasn't particularly difficult for a gambling king to win that much money …
Although Li Rui was not a professional gambler, he had also heard of a Gambling King level gamble. The two Gambling Kings had taken out as much as five or six hundred million USD.
The gamblers who placed bets on the periphery were even more terrifying. More than 100 billion USD participated in this earth-shattering duel …
It was like this in every industry. The bottom might be quite miserable, but those who stood at the top were always very rich.
Gamblers were no exception!
As long as the average conman was not too miserable, he would definitely be much richer than the average person. The more powerful he was, the richer he would be.
Asia's Gambling King, this title alone was worth at least one billion USD …
"That's unlikely …"
Although Li Rui was depressed, he had to face this problem head-on.
Although Yu Zheng had disappeared for more than ten years and his sudden reappearance seemed quite suspicious, it obviously had nothing to do with the theft of his safe. At this time, he and his assistant Ye Ping had been participating in the gambling there.
As for Yu Zheng's bodyguard, the camera showed that he had been playing around in the casino, gambling a few rounds, and then holding his stomach and going to the bathroom …
Perhaps the bodyguard had been in the bathroom for a little longer, but there was no way to Li Hui's office from the bathroom, not to mention the surveillance video showed that the bodyguard had been in the bathroom the whole time and had never left.
"Li Hui, search the entire Blue Sea Pavilion immediately. Don't miss any corner. You must find the safe …"
Yu Zheng's suspicions were basically ruled out. Li Rui had no choice but to focus on the missing safe. It was not easy for such a large safe to leave the Blue Sea Pavilion. In addition, Li Hui quickly took control of the scene. In theory, this safe should still be in the Blue Sea Pavilion.
"Yes!"
Li Hui's heart was still trembling. He knew that he had poked a big hole this time. If this safe could not be found, then his life would be in danger.
As Li Rui's right-hand man, Li Hui knew Li Rui's character too well …
Running away might be the best choice, but Li Hui knew that it was also the stupidest choice.
Once he chose to run away, it would be equivalent to confirming the suspicion that he had betrayed Li Rui. Even if he really did nothing, it would still not change Li Rui's opinion.
If he did not run, Li Hui had no confidence in finding this safe.
This safe had disappeared into thin air and there were no clues at all. There were no traces left at the scene, so there was no way to investigate.
Although he also suspected that the safe had not left the Blue Sea Pavilion, he did not know why, but he felt that the results of the search would definitely not satisfy him and Li Rui.
But no matter what, he still had to find the location of the safe. He immediately ordered his men to conduct a carpet search of the entire Jade Sea Pavilion, not letting go of any nooks and crannies, even if it was a place where even a dead rat could not be hidden …
