Wu Changyun waited for five rounds but didn't see the white board come down. It seemed that the boss's expression was very nervous. If it were Wu Changyun, he would probably be very nervous too, after all, there was someone behind him who betrayed him.
This feeling of being on edge is indeed something that ordinary people cannot bear.
"What's wrong? It's your turn to draw a card." Wu Changyun reminded.
Only then did Shangjia realize that he had been staring at the man with the purple ring, and more than five seconds had passed without him realizing it.
Now, even a fool could see that there was something fishy going on. Although Wu Changyun's boss could explain it later by saying that he kept the whiteboard out of caution, his current behavior unconsciously betrayed him.
"Did you really plan this?"
The newcomer had a gloomy face. Just a dozen minutes ago, he lost all his fortune. If Wu Changyun had not told him the secret, he would have lost all hope.
Now, the newcomer sees the light and realizes that all this was a setup.
"I'm asking you a question, did you two collude with each other?!"
The newcomer almost roared.
The man with the purple ring was also under a lot of pressure at the moment. He would soon reach his mountain of cards. He still remembered where the card he wanted was, so as long as he could hold on for a few more minutes, the outcome would be determined.
"You came here to win money. The wins and losses in mahjong are all reasonable. Some win and some lose. Why are you the only one who is so obsessed with losing? Look at the people around you." The man with the purple ring whispered.
As he said, there were indeed a lot of dejected guys at the scene. They either stayed in the corner and felt sad alone, or left directly and went to the rest area.
"You only believe in the parts that are beneficial to you. What's the point?"
"Liar, you are a gang to deceive me."
The newcomer pointed at a few people and seemed a little agitated. The staff member came over and was ready to control the newcomer at any time.
In Wu Changyun's opinion, there is no difference whether it is a newcomer or three people who teamed up to deceive.
Money has a special meaning here. For the people on the thirteenth floor, the amount of money bet on the table is not a small sum for them. They leave their decades of hard work to luck, and hope that they can win.
It is said that people will reveal their true nature in front of money. Wu Changyun couldn't help but sigh at these ugly faces. There was nothing here that had anything to do with virtue or even morality.
Wu Changyun was actually very anxious. In two more rounds of playing cards, he would reach the side of the man with the purple ring. If this continued, he didn't have much time left.
It may not be practical to continue waiting for that blank slate. It is still unknown how much psychological pressure the previous owner can withstand.
But now the staff have also come here. If it is confirmed that the three of them have colluded to cheat, the hotel will probably not sit idly by. After all, they can only make money if there is peace here.
"Wait, I need to go to the bathroom."
"Um?"
The man with the purple ring frowned, and seeing Wu Changyun's calm expression, he suddenly felt a little angry.
"Are you here to disgust people or to play cards?"
"What's wrong? Is there such a rule? The three of you are here, and I only have one female companion. Are you afraid that I will play against you?" Wu Changyun asked back.
Admittedly, Wu Changyun's request was indeed unethical, but there was no point in arguing with a liar.
The man with the purple ring wasn't worried about Wu Changyun's cards; at this stage, he and Wu Changyun were waiting for a crucial card. Seeing the mountain of cards about to reach their side, the other party must be trying to stall for time until the newcomer had a complete falling out.
The man with the purple ring glanced at the staff next to him. He shouldn't have to worry too much if there were staff present.
Then he glanced at his next opponent. His face was a little pale and he looked under great psychological pressure. He wouldn't be able to hold out for long if he continued like this. He had to end the battle quickly.
Wu Changyun covered the cards and got up to go to the bathroom.
About five minutes later, when Wu Changyun came back again, he was followed by another person, who was the hotel's night manager Chao Tianming.
Chao Tianming stood behind Wu Changyun and smiled at everyone.
"I'm very happy that Mr. Wu invited me to visit this game. Are you all having fun today?" Chao Tianming said, still maintaining an awkward smile.
"Why? Come here?" Wu Changyun's boss couldn't help but ask.
"So that everyone here can enjoy the game." Chao Tianming said politely.
The man with the purple ring glanced at Chao Tianming, thinking about the reason why he came here. They had already lived here for a month, so the hotel should have some gap in their expenses.
Obviously, some people had some objections to Chao Tianming's arrival. The newcomer was also telling Chao Tianming about his own experience, saying that the three people were scammers who had planned to deceive him for a long time.
"That's enough. Let's stop playing after this one, okay?" the man with the purple ring shouted.
"Of course it's your freedom." Chao Tianming said.
"This is the opportunity. Although Chao Tianming is here, if the card mountain is on our side, even his presence will be of no use." The man with the purple ring analyzed it in his mind, and the next card would be the winning card.
The man with the purple ring played a card and reached for the first card in the pile of cards.
He remembered clearly that the nine of a kind he needed was on the fourth card. It was so close that he could easily complete the card change when his hand passed the fourth card.
"etc."
Wu Changyun suddenly took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket.
Wu Changyun smoothed out the toilet paper and covered the pile of cards with it, leaving only the first card exposed.
"What are you doing?" It was the first time that the man with the purple ring encountered such a thing. They were cheating, but they were also doing small tricks behind the scenes. On the surface, they were the most disciplined players.
But this guy Wu Changyun has no morals at all. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is cheating, but you can't say that he is cheating.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? What if you switched the cards?"
"You! Do you know what the price is for slandering others?"
The man with the purple ring was a little furious. Originally, there were three of them in a group, and two of them could pass cards to him. However, because of the presence of the newcomer, even though they could communicate with each other, they could not feed cards to each other openly.
Now Chao Tianming is here again. If this continues, things might change.
"Since you suspect there is a problem, this one can be discarded. There is no need to do this." The man with the purple ring looked at Wu Changyun with a look that did not allow for compromise.
"What do you think? Do you want to cancel it?" the man with the purple ring emphasized again.
This rude farce ended with Wu Changyun taking away the toilet paper. Indeed, Wu Changyun's behavior was somewhat unreasonable.
The man with the purple ring touched the first card, and then skillfully swapped the card with the fourth card when he passed it.
"There are so many tricks, but that's not how you play mahjong." The man with the purple ring laughed.
Then he lowered his head, and what he saw was not the nine he had been thinking about, but one sword and one handle.
