Chapter 24 Is it a coincidence
...
"Can you help me?"
Xu Kai shook his head: "You guys play, I don't like gambling."
"Hey, what gambling? It's just entertainment among friends. We can't just sit there and watch the show while others are performing and watching the show, and we are waiting here like fools, right?" Ji Zhaode advised.
"Small gambling is enjoyable, big gambling is harmful to your health. We're not playing big, we just want to have fun." Pan Xiaowei actually helped Ji Zhaode persuade Xu Kailai.
Xu Kai didn't look at Ji Zhaode, who was definitely up to no good, but said to Pan Xiaowei meaningfully, "Are you sure you want to bet?"
"We call it gambling, but it's actually just a game. I've told you, small gambling is fun, big gambling is harmful to the body. Isn't the purpose of life to have fun?"
Pan Xiaowei looked at Dong Ni: "Shishi, do you think I'm right?"
Pan Xiaowei ignored Xu Kai's kindness. He felt that he was particularly cool at this moment, and his whole body exuded damn masculine charm. Dong Ni would definitely be fascinated by his free and easy and calm attitude.
Little did she know that Dong Ni actually didn't want Pan Xiaowei to play, because this was not a small bet for fun as Pan Xiaowei said, but a gamble where the winnings or losses could potentially reach millions.
Dong Ni wanted to persuade Pan Xiaowei to stop playing, but she knew that Pan Xiaowei's family was rich and sometimes his monthly pocket money could be hundreds of thousands. As a poor person, she simply could not understand the world and thoughts of rich people.
In addition, this game of Landlord was instigated by Ji Zhaode. Unlike Pan Xiaowei, Dong Ni did not dare to offend Ji Zhaode and lose the role that their company had worked so hard to get for her.
So Dong Ni finally chose to wait and see.
Seeing that Dong Ni did not object, Pan Xiaowei became even more excited. He continued to persuade Xu Kai: "Brother Yu, let's just play with Brother Zhaode for fun. What's the big deal?"
"Yeah, I just want to have fun, Xiao Yu, you don't want to be a loner, do you?" Ji Zhaode said with a smile.
The 10,000-dollar bet on Landlords is too big. Not only can Xu Li not persuade Xu Kai to gamble with Ji Zhaode and Pan Xiaowei, he also has to stop Xu Kai from falling into this big bet.
But before Xu Li could persuade Xu Kai not to be impulsive, Ji Zhaode and Pan Xiaowei provoked Xu Kai to ask: "10,000, or 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000?"
Seeing Xu Kai wanted to join the battle, Xu Li quickly persuaded him: "Brother, such a big game of Landlord is not something our small family can play, so don't play it."
"Xiao Yu has been paid 1 million for the film, so why can't he play a game of Landlord for 10,000?" Ji Zhaode said lightly, his tone full of teasing and sarcasm.
Pan Xiaowei, who heard Ji Zhaode say that Xu Kai received 1 million yuan for the film, but only 80,000 yuan in reality (they claimed 1 million yuan to the public), suddenly felt jealous and joined in, saying, "Let's just bet 10,000 yuan each. As long as our luck is not too bad, there won't be much to win or lose."
Xu Li wanted to persuade Xu Kai not to be fooled, but Xu Kai stopped him with his eyes.
"Does it involve kicking?" Xu Kai asked.
"Is it called fighting the landlord if there is no kicking involved?" Ji Zhaode said.
"Does it have a back-kick?" Xu Kai asked.
"Since he's already screaming to death, of course I have to kick back," said Ji Zhaode.
"If none of the three companies want it, should we raise it to 20,000, or should we make a comparison?" Xu Kai asked.
"We usually play comparative tuning. If you want to play raising and lowering, that's fine too. I have no problem with that," said Ji Zhaode.
"Let's compare the tunes. The raised ones are hard to remember." Pan Xiaowei said
"If the tunes are the same, who loses?" Xu Kai asked.
"Of course the one who calls first loses," said Pan Xiaowei.
"If you compare the adjustments, the bombs in the hands of the person who makes the most adjustments will not be counted. The bombs in the hands of the other two companies will be multiplied several times." Ji Zhaode added.
"That……"
Seeing that Xu Kai wanted to ask more questions, Pan Xiaowei became a little impatient: "The rules of Landlord are almost the same, nothing complicated. Even if there is any dispute, we can discuss it while playing. Don't waste time here."
Xu Kai smiled nonchalantly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's talk while we play."
"Where are we going?" Pan Xiaowei turned and asked Ji Zhaode.
"Let's go play in my RV. After all, we are celebrities. It's not good if others see us playing Landlord together." Ji Zhaode said.
Xu Kai and Pan Xiaowei had no objection.
So Xu Kai, Xu Li, Dong Ni, Ji Zhaode and Pan Xiaowei went to Ji Zhaode's RV.
Ji Zhaode’s RV is a C-type RV. It doesn’t look exaggerated from the outside, but can be considered average.
But when they got inside, Xu Kai and others discovered that the interior decoration was quite luxurious. The whole car was made of mahogany, like a luxurious palace.
Ji Zhaode opened the drawer on the coffee table, and found dozens of decks of playing cards and professional chips inside.
From this, it can be seen that Ji Zhaode should play cards here often.
Ji Zhaode gave himself, Xu Kai and Pan Xiaowei 1 million chips each. Then, without waiting for Xu Kai and Pan Xiaowei to ask whether to draw or deal, Ji Zhaode opened a deck of playing cards and said while shuffling the cards: "Let's play the deal. Quick, who's going to deal first?"
"You send it first." Pan Xiaowei said without thinking.
After taking a look at Ji Zhaode's shuffling of the cards, Xu Kai raised the corner of his mouth but said nothing.
Ji Zhaode finished dealing the cards.
Xu Kai picked up his cards and took a look. It was a small joker, two deuces, and three straights. The cards below were not good, but they were barely enough to bet on the bottom cards.
Seeing Xu Kai's cards like this, Xu Li couldn't help but feel nervous: "This card is neither up nor down. It's neither good to have it nor to have it. It's so annoying!"
The card that was turned over and represented the one that wanted first was taken by Pan Xiaowei. This time, Pan Xiaowei wanted first, then Ji Zhaode, and finally Xu Kai.
Who would have thought that after Pan Xiaowei grabbed the cards, he immediately showed hesitation in his eyes! After thinking for a while, and seeing Xu Li behind Xu Kai with a nervous look, Pan Xiaowei said, "Pass."
"I don't have any tunes on hand, so I definitely can't take it. Let's go to the next one." Ji Zhaode said with a smile.
"It's over. This is forcing my elder brother to ask for it!" Xu Li said secretly.
Who would have thought that Xu Kai just randomly arranged the cards and threw them on the table: "Let's compete. I admit the loss. I have a small joker with two 2s, and no 7 or 9 underneath. It's a mess. I will definitely lose if I play. Let's save some time and play the next one."
As he spoke, Xu Kai turned over his trump card.
The hole cards are 5, Q, K.
Xu Kai turned his head and asked Ji Zhaode: "Brother Ji, you can't be true that you don't have any tricks at all, because of what you said, I didn't have any tricks at all when I played the trump card."
"He really doesn't have one tune, the other three are all with me."
Pan Xiaowei said with some annoyance: "If I had known this would happen, I would have taken it. Although my cards are not good, I can at least give it a try. Well... 5, Q, K, I can barely play with this card."
"Brother Zhaode, do you have any bombs in your hand?" Pan Xiaowei asked Ji Zhaode.
"Yes, luckily you didn't ask for it, otherwise I would definitely kick you."
Ji Zhaode looked at Xu Kai with some suspicion: "Is it a coincidence?", and then showed three bombs: four 3s, four 7s, and four 9s.
"Hiss~"
Xu Li and Dong Ni gasped at the same time: "Pan Xiaowei lost 160,000 yuan? This win or loss... is too fast!"
Ji Zhaode calmly mixed the remaining five cards in his hand into Xu Kai's cards.
Xu Kai didn't even need to look to know that the five cards Ji Zhaode mixed were 10, J, Q, K, and A.
In fact, Xu Kaixin knew clearly that Ji Zhaode was not plotting against Pan Xiaowei, but against himself.
Ji Zhaode deliberately dealt Pan Xiaowei a hand of cards that he couldn't take, and dealt himself, who wanted the card in the end, a hand of cards that was easily matched and barely acceptable to him.
Ji Zhaode's idea was to force himself to become the landlord, and then he would kick, and he would definitely lose 3 bombs and one kick, 160,000 per person, and he would lose 320,000 in one go.
But Ji Zhaode had no idea that what the prison lacked the most was gambling masters, and Xu Kai was famous for his love of learning all kinds of fun techniques.
The key point is that the perfect shuffle used by Ji Zhaode is only at the entry level, which is not comparable to Xu Kai, the master among masters who defeated all the gambling masters in the prison.
So, just by shifting the blame to someone else, Xu Kai resolved his own troubles.
Seeing Ji Zhaode showing three bombs, Pan Xiaowei's face immediately fell. He gave Xu Kai and Ji Zhaode 8 chips each, while complaining to Ji Zhaode: "Brother Zhaode, you are too mean. You have three bombs in your hand, but you don't want them. Aren't you cheating me?"
Ji Zhaode smiled and said, "I have three bombs, but I don't have any adjustments. If I get three useless cards, I'm not sure I'll lose. Instead of that, I'll use these three bombs to play Landlord. Isn't it better?"
“That makes sense.”
Pan Xiaowei thought so.
