"...I really want to cut you with a knife right now!"
Facing Minglou who was so excited that he began to speak erratically, Wang Tianfeng uncharacteristically did not refute and instead remained silent.
The whole room suddenly became quiet.
Time passed by minute by second, and no one spoke. The two of them just looked at each other very close to each other, as if they were secretly competing.
I don't know how long it took before Wang Tianfeng finally took the lead and said, "I'm sorry."
Minglou couldn't help but frown, "This is not your style."
"I'll make an exception..." Wang Tianfeng continued, "But not for you."
Hearing this, Minglou couldn't help but sigh, "I think I should also say sorry to you."
Wang Tianfeng didn't want to but said coldly: "I don't have time to listen to your apology."
"Don't get me wrong, this apology is for your loyalty."
"Don't you regret making this plan?"
"Like you, I never regret."
"The reason why I did this is to clear a bloody path. I know you are worried about the plan until the last moment. No one knows whether the plan will succeed or fail."
"As long as you seize the opportunity, your chances of winning will increase." Minglou's mood gradually stabilized, "How do you decide?"
"I've seen your plan, and I think it has little chance of winning." Wang Tianfeng analyzed and added, "If you want the Japanese military to believe this plan, you must have a decisive spirit of sacrifice, but your plan, mother-in-law, is sloppy and does not work at all.
worth considering!"
"Then if it goes according to your plan, I refuse to cooperate!"
"You don't have to cooperate with me. I told you that you were not included in my plan in the first place! As long as you can protect yourself. You know who my plan protects and who it sacrifices. Both the military commander and the Shanghai Station need it.
you……"
Speaking of this, Wang Tianfeng glanced at Li Qiang subconsciously. However, the latter was like an old monk in trance at this moment. He seemed to have heard nothing and drank the red wine in front of him without saying a word.
reaction.
Wang Tianfeng then continued: "No one can replace you. You must keep driving this nail in!"
"I'm warning you for the last time, you are not allowed to act recklessly!" Minglou said urgently.
Wang Tianfeng smiled, "Didn't you say I'm crazy? I'll show you how crazy I am this time!"
"Aren't you afraid that the 'Death Plan' is a wrong assumption?"
"Are you scared?"
"No, your bet is too big. Aren't you afraid of losing it all?"
“The bigger the bet, the bigger the chance of winning!”
"Huh! Typical gambler mentality." Minglou said disdainfully, "Since you insist on your own fallacy so much, do you dare to bet with me?"
"What to bet on?"
"If you win, you can still implement your original plan. If I win, the command will be mine. How about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Acheng suddenly opened the door and barged in, saying urgently: "Brother, Mingtai is here."
"Who asked him to come?" Wang Tianfeng and Minglou said almost in unison.
Just then, Li Qiang's lazy voice rang out, "It's me!"
As soon as Mingtai reached the second floor under the guidance of Haitang, he saw Acheng and Guo Qiyun standing at the door of a reception room like two door gods.
Although both of them were very surprised after seeing Mingtai, Mingtai was even more surprised than them.
"Mingtai? Why are you here?" Ah Cheng asked pretending to be calm.
Mingtai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"know."
"do not know."
Seeing the two people giving two completely opposite responses at the same time, the suspicion on Mingtai's face became even more obvious.
"We just met." Guo Qiyun's reaction was not slow and he quickly explained.
Ah Cheng also quickly responded: "Yes, we just met."
Fortunately, Ming Lou's voice came from the room at this time, which relieved the two of them, "Is it Ming Tai? Ask him to come in."
After hearing this, Mingtai first glanced at Acheng and Guo Qiyun, and then walked in with full of doubts.
In the room, Minglou and Wang Tianfeng were sitting opposite each other at opposite ends of the gambling table, with piles of chips in front of each of them, as if they were gambling.
"Brother!" Mingtai first glanced at Wang Tianfeng secretly, then walked up to Minglou and shouted respectfully.
However, before he finished speaking, Wang Tianfeng on the opposite side looked up at Mingtai and asked: "Who is this?"
"Brother Mingtai." Minglou said, turning to introduce Mingtai, "Mingtai, this is Mr. Wang. He is from Nanjing. He wants to do some business with the new government and say hello."
Mingtai immediately lowered his head slightly, saluted Wang Tianfeng, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang."
Wang Tianfeng said "hmm" and said to Minglou: "Your brother seems to be a nice person."
"Of course!" Minglou said very proudly: "The children in our family are all gentle, humble, respectful and respectful."
"My brother looks gentle and elegant, with the style of a Confucian general. The Feng Shui of your Ming family is really good!"
"That's right, our Ming family has strict upbringing. We have always grown flowers and peonies and orchids for grass."
Wang Tianfeng was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he sighed and followed Minglou's words and said: "I'm in a miserable state. I grow flowers to grow thorns and grass to grow weeds. If I don't have such a blessing as Mr. Ming, I won't be angry when I think about it.
Get somewhere!"
Mingtai listened to the two people's back-and-forth exchange of words, and suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient. He always felt that the two of them were not only talking with guns and sticks, but also had something to say. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand there.
He didn't dare to speak and just stared blankly.
At this moment, Minglou suddenly said, "Mingtai, come..."
After saying that, he actually stood up and gave up his seat to Mingtai, "Sit!"
Mingtai looked at Minglou in surprise, and then looked at Wang Tianfeng with his peripheral vision, wondering what Minglou's purpose was.
Minglou smiled and continued: "You come and play for me. If you win, you can do whatever you want. If you dare to lose..."
Although Minglou didn't finish his words, the meaning of only winning and not losing was already very obvious.
After saying that, Minglou waved his hand and asked the waiter in charge of dealing cards to leave. He stood in the middle of the gaming table and picked up the deck of playing cards in front of him.
"Mr. Wang, do you mind if I shuffle the cards?"
"Of course I mind!" Wang Tianfeng said unceremoniously, "Isn't it against the rules if you do this?"
"I set the rules. You have to listen to me here. Everyone has to listen to me. Do you understand?" Minglou said very domineeringly, leaving no room for negotiation in his words.
Wang Tianfeng had no choice but to nod and say: "Understood."
"Very good!" Minglou nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then began to shuffle the cards and said while shuffling them, "Actually, gambling is not my strong point."
Despite what he said, Minglou's shuffling technique was very skillful, and the whole process was clean and neat.
Wang Tianfeng retorted unceremoniously: "Yes, your strength is shuffling cards."
As soon as these words came out, not only Minglou but also Mingtai was stunned for a moment, and the air in the room seemed to solidify at that moment.
However, Mingtai soon broke the slightly awkward atmosphere by saying, "Did my eldest brother lose just now?"
Wang Tianfeng smiled and said meaningfully: "Maybe your eldest brother sincerely wants to lose."
Mingtai glanced at the situation on the table and said: "You can lose if you want to, so losing is also a win?"
Wang Tianfeng said disdainfully: "No matter whether your eldest brother loses or wins, he can always find a suitable reason..."
However, before he could finish his words, Minglou coughed lightly and said, "Mingtai, the casino is like a battlefield. Don't let the reputation of our Ming family be ruined."
"Well said! Casinos are like battlefields. You are right. Famous teachers have always produced great disciples. I am optimistic about your brother."
Minglou was also full of yin and yang: "Well, how about we fight tigers and go up to the mountains as brothers, and kill the enemy's father and son soldiers in front of the battle?"
"Stop talking nonsense and let's get started!"
"Which one of you comes first?"
"Mr. Wang is older than me, you come first?" Mingtai said.
Wang Tianfeng suddenly raised his head and asked: "Do I know you?"
"I don't know you, but you are older than me and I should respect you."
"My brother is really polite." Wang Tianfeng glanced at Minglou and said in a strange tone.
"Isn't it strange that there are many people giving gifts?" After saying this, Minglou began to deal the cards, and then gestured to Wang Tianfeng, who was temporarily ahead in the cards, to speak.
Wang Tianfeng first took a look at his trump cards, then threw out the biggest chips at hand, and then looked at Mingtai.
He didn't want to show off but didn't even see the trump card, so he said boldly: "I'll follow!"
"Following without looking at the hole cards? What kind of gambling method is this?" Wang Tianfeng asked in confusion.
Mingtai smiled and said, "It would be boring to know the trump cards in advance!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Tianfeng remained silent, while Minglou smiled and continued to deal the cards.
The game continues.
After a new round of dealing, Wang Tianfeng spoke again: "I still have the better cards, why don't you look at the hole cards?"
"A casino is like a battlefield, and the situation changes rapidly. I just like the feeling of surviving a desperate situation."
"Young people are just energetic and love to take risks..." At this point, Wang Tianfeng suddenly changed the subject, "However, based on my intuition, you can't win! Playing cards depends on skill, not just luck!"
After saying that, Wang Tianfeng continued to place bets.
"It's not just luck. In other words, is there an element of luck?" Mingtai continued to follow the bet, and then said word by word, "I am betting on myself, and I will be lucky."
With that said, Mingtai glanced at Wang Tianfeng provocatively, then pushed all the chips in front of him forward, "Show hand!"
"My younger brother's playing style is very weird. He is reckless and not at all like your style." Wang Tianfeng raised his eyes and looked at Minglou.
"It turns out he's not like this. He has always been steady and steady. I don't know which lunatic he learned some self-righteous 'skills' from, and then he started to use his small skills to make a big difference, and use his sword to take the wrong direction!"
Wang Tianfeng smiled: "If my brother wins today, then you have to thank that lunatic very much!"
After saying that, he pushed out all the chips in front of him.
"Then let's wait and see!" After saying that, Minglou continued to deal the cards.
After the last round of dealing, Wang Tianfeng looked at the Full House in his hand and said to Mingtai, who was sitting opposite him and still looked calm and composed: "I don't believe you have a flush."
Before he finished speaking, Mingtai directly showed his trump card, and it turned out to be a straight flush!
Wang Tianfeng looked at Mingtai, then Minglou, and praised sincerely: "The cards are shuffled really well!"
Minglou said word for word: "I am willing to admit defeat."
"Of course. You have a big appetite, I can afford to lose."
"Mingtai, you can go." Minglou said to Mingtai.
Mingtai was stunned for a moment, then stood up, politely said goodbye to Wang Tianfeng, and left the room.
But just before he reached the door, Wang Tianfeng suddenly said, "Young man, don't think you have won."
However, no one expected that Mingtai would reply unexpectedly, "I know."
This meaningless sentence made the whole room fall silent again.
"You know? What do you know?" After a brief moment of surprise, Minglou quickly asked in confusion.
"Winning or losing is all a matter of a thought." Mingtai replied, "If I win this round, there will be another round."
"If there is a next game, young man." Wang Tianfeng immediately took over the words, "Remember, you must bet to the end! Because until the end, you never know what kind of card the shuffler will deal you.
card." When Wang Tianfeng said the last sentence, he had already shifted his gaze from Mingtai back to Minglou.
Minglou didn't say anything but just watched.
At this moment, Mingtai suddenly said, "I'm getting engaged. Mr. Wang, can you come?"
"Of course! I wish you happiness." While speaking, Wang Tianfeng's lips couldn't help but tremble, but they soon returned to normal.
Mingtai couldn't help but smile brightly after hearing this, and then said sincerely, "Thank you."
After saying that, he left the room with satisfaction.
"Shall I wait for you in the car?" After leaving the room, Mingtai said to Cheng, who was guarding the door.
"Okay! Let's go home together later." Cheng replied quickly.
Mingtai first responded, then nodded to Guo Qiyun calmly, and then walked towards the stairs.
In the reception room, everything finally returned to normal.
"I never expected that we would have to face betrayal after going through so much suffering." Minglou said with emotion after sitting across from Wang Tianfeng again.
Wang Tianfeng said expressionlessly: "We will only be betrayed by our friends, but our enemies will never have the chance to betray or betray us."
"How did you come up with such a plan? Aren't you afraid of the outcome?"
"As long as the result is what I want, no matter who it hurts, I will keep doing it. This is the biggest difference between you and me."
Hearing this, Minglou nodded subconsciously, "To be honest, I admire your courage and perseverance, even if you will hurt me."
However, before he finished speaking, the door to the inner room was pushed open again, and then Li Qiang walked out, pulled up a chair and sat between the two of them, and said to them with a half-smile: "
How about it, have you already discussed it? Which one of you two will be in charge of the Death Plan?"
