One of my cigarettes slowly burned out in my anxious thoughts.
Xiaoduo followed me, her head lowered and silent.
Xie Chengbing's unexpected appearance today made her feel depressed again.
Apart from helping me out, Xie Chengbing only glanced at Xiaoduo a few times and had no further communication with Xiaoduo.
"It's almost time to go back!"
He Xiaoshi reminded me softly beside me.
"On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, I don't understand Qian. But I know that you should not have any expressions or unnecessary movements at the poker table. It is best to have a poker face. You must remember this, so as not to give Li Jianlu another chance to speculate on you...
…”
I nodded, and everyone returned to the room one after another.
Only Mr. Hong was lingering behind me.
When there were only two of us left in the yard, I turned to look at Mr. Hong and asked in a low voice:
"how's it going?"
Mr. Hong took out his cell phone and handed it to me.
On the screen was a text message that read:
"It's done, don't worry. Don't forget your promise!"
When I saw this message, my hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Although the phone number is unfamiliar, I know that the person who sent the message is Mr. Wu.
I started to make plans, getting closer to him little by little, to estrange the relationship between him and Li Jianlu, and finally promised to give him five million in cash.
All of this is today's gamble.
Because apart from Li Jianlu, the only one who can handle the surveillance here is Mr. Wu.
After deleting the information, I returned the phone to Master Hong and said softly:
"I'll find a chance to tell Mr. Wu soon, and when it's done, I'll add another two million to him!"
You must know that this game is related to Su Mei's life and death, as well as the news on Yundian.
I have to make sure nothing goes wrong, even if it costs me everything.
In the room, Li Jianlu had already taken his seat.
As soon as I appeared, the room, which was a little noisy just now, immediately became quiet.
Everyone knows that after thirty-seven minutes, it may not take such a long time. The outcome of this card game will be decided.
I walked slowly towards the card table, looking to the side from time to time.
At this time, Wu Laobao and Yin Dong were sitting not far behind Li Jianlu.
Mr. Wu lowered his head and was looking at his cell phone.
He seemed to feel that I was looking at him. When he raised his head and glanced at me, he nodded slightly.
He was telling me that he had received Mr. Hong's message.
"Boy, can we start now?"
Zhang Fan looked at me and Li Jianlu and asked expressionlessly.
Li Jianlu slowly put the tea cup on the table, with a somewhat mocking smile on his face, and said to me:
"A qualified poker player must be able to play at the table at any time. Of course I have no problem, but you should ask Mr. Chuliu of Kanto Qianwang. I wonder if Chuqianwang has planned how to win after taking such a long rest.
Let’s play this round?”
Faced with the ridicule, I didn't respond at all. I just nodded at Zhang Fan and said:
"It's time to deal the cards!"
Zhang Fan started shuffling the cards. After the cards were shuffled, he said to me:
"Mr. Chu, do you want to cut the cards?"
In the double-suit game, the cards are cut in turns.
It’s just that Li Jianlu and I didn’t cut it before.
But this time, I chose to cut the cards.
When Zhang Fan piled the cards in front of me, everyone in the room was all staring at my hand, including Li Jianlu and Zhang Fan.
I slowly stretched out my hand and gently picked up a stack of cards under everyone's gaze.
I move very slowly and have no unnecessary tricks.
Seeing this moment, Zhang Fan seemed to be slightly relieved.
The cards started to be dealt. My up card was a 6, and Li Jianlu's up card was a 7.
Zhang Fan made an inviting gesture towards Li Jianlu.
"Speak to the Seven of Spades!"
Li Jianlu just picked his trump card and took a quick look.
He took out 100,000 chips and threw them on the table casually.
"One hundred thousand!"
I didn't look at my hole cards, but looked at the chips in front of me and said:
"Okay, I'll give you one hundred thousand!"
Li Jianlu's hand had just been placed on the teacup, but when he saw me calling, he suddenly stopped moving.
A pair of small eyes wandered back and forth on my face.
"You don't read the cards?"
"Why, are you afraid that I will recognize the cards? Mr. Li, you are the king of gambling in Qilu. The cards you used today are yours, what are you afraid of?"
Li Jianlu's fat hands kept playing with the chips.
He sneered amid the clatter of chips.
"Of course I'm not afraid. After all, I've won 400,000 yuan now. I'm just wondering why you don't look at the cards..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jianlu took out one hundred thousand chips again and threw it on the table.
"Continue, it's still one hundred thousand!"
"One hundred thousand with you, five hundred thousand with you!"
I still didn't look at the cards and pushed the stack of chips in front of me to the middle of the card table.
And along with the sound of chips, there was a burst of exclamation in the room.
No one expected that I would suddenly raise the stakes to such a large amount without looking at the cards.
Unless he folds, as long as Li Jianlu calls or opens the card, this round is likely to be the last.
Li Jianlu also looked surprised. I glanced at him and said in a contemptuous tone:
"What's the point of being curious if you don't look at the cards? Didn't Senior Li teach me just now? Isn't the highest level of gambling just to do whatever you want?"
Li Jianlu stopped talking. The wrinkles on his fat face became deeper.
This time, I threw the problem to him.
Li Jianlu opened the card and bet 100,000. It was obvious that his hand must be quite big.
Follow, obviously I will continue to raise.
If I don't follow, it would be a pity for his big hand. After all, I didn't read the card.
If you open the card, it will cost 1.2 million. If you lose, it will be difficult to make a comeback.
