"Yeah?"
Jia was skeptical but couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood. He said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. With your brother Jia here, I won't let her threaten you again."
"Thank you, Brother Jia."
Qian Chuan, with tears in her eyes, raised another cup to him.
If Chuanliu hadn't known that Qian Chuan had voted for Xu Zhi, even she would have been fooled by his serious expression.
Jia, having walked through the money string,
"After the vote that day, I was also very curious. Why was Xu Zhi so confident that everyone would vote for her?"
So after the results came out, I specifically sought out Li Chengfeng, and he told me that only one of you voted for me.
I'm even more curious now, who exactly is my biological brother?
Qian Chuan's pupils contracted sharply in an instant, and a storm raged within him.
To everyone's surprise, Jia was able to obtain information about the number of voters.
Chuanliu gave Li Si's voting information, but Li Si inadvertently used up this opportunity. Chuanliu...
Qian Chuan felt extremely guilty and only hoped that Jia Zuowei would let her off the hook.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Jia Zuowei slowly placed his hands on the back of Chuanliu's chair, his gaze sharp as a knife, shooting straight at Chuanliu.
“Young lady, I believe I have treated you well, yet you chose to vote for Xu Zhi? I am very disappointed in you.”
Just when everyone thought Chuanliu would panic, she suddenly chuckled softly, her voice revealing a hint of determination and composure:
"No, you misunderstand. I voted for you."
Jia took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and stared intently at Chuanliu, seemingly trying to glean clues from her expression:
"Oh? Are you sure? I don't like it when people lie to me."
Seeing this, everyone present showed expressions of anticipation and excitement.
They didn't understand why, even though Jia had made it so clear, Chuanliu was still going against the grain.
Qian Chuan was extremely anxious and kept giving Chuan Liu meaningful glances, hoping she would change her mind.
The girl seemed oblivious to the man's hint; she stared straight at Jia Zuowei, unwavering.
"I'm sure I cast my vote for you."
Qian Chuan's heart leaped into his throat. He frantically racked his brains for a solution, trying to defuse the crisis before him.
Filled with guilt and nervousness, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Brother Jia, actually..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chuanliu interrupted him first:
"Actually, Brother Qian and I had already discussed it and decided to invest in you."
The money string was already getting a little anxious.
Jia hates being deceived the most; if this continues, they will both die.
As everyone expected, Jia slammed the wine glass to the ground with a "bang."
"You said you voted for me, and he said he voted for me. If I'm not mistaken, that should be two votes!"
Ignoring the man's anger, Chuanliu remained standing there with his head down, his expression resolute.
Seeing Chuanliu's performance, Qianchuan suddenly understood something and chose to remain silent as well.
Jia then looked at Aunt Wang and Che Yiba, his tone icy: "Do you have anything to say?"
The two were intimidated by his angry appearance and quickly shook their heads. They didn't even dare to pick up the wine glasses they accidentally knocked over.
Their voices trembled as they replied, "We did indeed vote for Xu Zhi, but we don't know anything about them!"
Jia wrinkled his nose, a hint of impatience flashing across his face. He slowly closed his eyes, as if suppressing his inner anger.
Then, he coldly uttered a few words: "Fu Xiaowu, make your move."
Aunt Wang and Che Yiba looked at Qian Chuan and Chuan Liu with pity, but also with a hint of schadenfreude.
Two muffled thuds were heard.
Two figures fell to the ground with a thud, blood spurting out instantly and staining the once flawless tablecloth red.
The wide-eyed expressions of Aunt Wang and Che Yiba became the expressions of their last moments.
No one expected this to happen; this sudden reversal caught everyone off guard.
Chuanliu was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly until he bumped into Zhuiming's body and came to his senses, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.
Qian Chuan was equally shocked. He stood up abruptly and looked at Jia Zuowei in disbelief.
Two of the people who were chatting and laughing just moments before have now died, and the atmosphere at the dinner table has instantly become heavy and oppressive.
For a moment, Chuanliu and Qianchuan were faced with two bloody corpses and didn't know what to say.
However, while the two were still immersed in shock and fear, Jia Zuowei seemed unaffected, chuckled twice, and sat back down in the main seat.
His face was calm as still water, as if the bloody massacre that had just occurred was a trivial matter.
"I don't like being lied to, nor do I like people who betray me."
Jia said calmly, beckoning to the beautiful woman beside him, who in turn calmly handed him a roll of powder.
The man took a deep breath in front of the two of them.
The combination of drug use and the thrill of eliminating the enemy brought him uncontrollable pleasure.
A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if this bloody massacre was merely part of his game, and he was the master of this game.
Chuanliu and Qianchuan then realized that Jia had no idea how many people had voted for him.
He was just putting on a show, tricking two "traitors" into appearing.
Perhaps, Xu really underestimated him.
Jia Zuowei smiled with satisfaction, "From now on, you'll all be under my protection."
"5 of Diamonds", "7 of Diamonds", "8 of Diamonds".
He threw the three identity cards onto the dining table.
"Come on, pick whichever one you want!"
"Brother Jia, I can't accept this."
Although Qian Chuan said that, his eyes lingered on the few valuable playing cards.
"Hey, we don't say these things if we're on the same side."
At this moment, Jia felt every pore of his body relaxing, and he subconsciously responded.
Chuanliu looked at Qianchuan, indicating that he should choose first.
Qian Chuan expressed his gratitude, not only for this, but also for Chuan Liu's life-saving grace.
Without any hesitation, he picked up the card with the highest number—"8 of Diamonds".
Chuanliu then picked up the "7 of Diamonds".
Zhuiming stood behind the girl from beginning to end, observing everything.
Five people died in succession: 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8. After the war between "Square 9" and "Square 10", the strength of the City of Squares will probably be greatly reduced.
The first shot in this chaos was the vote under the Judgment Bell.
If it wasn't for faith and self-interest, then was the purpose of voting for Jia Zuowei to incite this war?
The reason why Chuanliu could so confidently assume that Jia had at least two votes, aside from the possibility that she possessed supernatural abilities, is probably only one explanation.
—She voted for Jia Zuowei.
Qian Chuan and Zhui Ming's gazes both focused on the girl.
They seemed to have come to know a completely new river.
