"Well said!"
The person who gave the evaluation was Lan Jiacheng.
I took a closer look and the anxiety on the other person's face didn't seem fake.
The dazed face of the girl on crutches beside him was even more real.
Sima Dalang shook his head helplessly, then looked at me.
"Dong Hang, in your opinion, is the 20 cents interest rate considered high for a casino loan?"
“It’s not high, but it’s certainly not low.”
"When it comes to Lan Jiacheng, I calculated the interest based on the 20 million principal at every stage. Without compounding the interest, is that not fair?"
“No compound interest?”
I really can’t believe that the Sima family’s casino would be so kind to Lan Jiacheng?
Sima Dalang looked up at Lan Jiacheng and asked him to answer.
Lan Jiacheng sighed and said, "The money I got from Young Master Sima really didn't yield any interest. It's my own fault. Every time I figured out a good strategy, it wouldn't work when I got to Haojiang.
Many newbies win money when they go to the casino in Haojiang, but as a veteran, I keep losing money. I refuse to accept this and I won’t resign myself to it…”
Lan Jiacheng became more and more excited, and his speech turned into sobbing and shouting.
“That’s enough!”
Sima Dalang slammed the table and roared.
Lan Jiacheng shut up and knelt on the ground.
The girl next to him threw away her crutches and was unable to kneel on the ground, so she had to lie prone on the ground.
"Brother Dalang, please, give my family a chance to survive."
The lame girl was lying face down on the ground, crying and begging.
Sima Dalang sighed heavily, then lit a cigarette and said to me, "Lan Jinpei, Old Lan's daughter, may look at her in a mess now, but she used to be very cool and loved motorcycles.
Her legs were broken in a motorcycle accident. She slipped and fell so far in the rain. The helmet protected her head and saved her life."
I nodded slightly and said nothing.
Then he looked at Liu Yanran and found that her face was calm and there was no special expression.
Lan Jiacheng, who was kneeling on the ground, continued to plead: "Da Lang, you know, my lover died many years ago from a congenital heart disease.
Back then, she risked her life to give birth to a daughter for me. Later, she blamed me for not parenting well and not correcting my daughter's habit of riding motorcycles, which led to her car accident.
I feel sorry for my deceased lover and my daughter who broke her leg...
Just yesterday, Jin Pei actually said, "Wuwu..."
Sima Dalang asked angrily, "What did she say?"
"She said that if Sima Dalang didn't agree to use the antiques to pay off the debts, the family would definitely not be able to pay off all the debts. She would rather die than live with her disabled legs and the huge debts.
She even prepared some herb for herself, intending to allow herself to slowly recall her life while her mind was clear, and then die.
I asked her where she had put the grass, but she wouldn't tell me!"
Lan Jiacheng spoke bitterly.
Sima Dalang's expression became more complicated.
"It's so frustrating! You know what you're doing. You've given me a huge problem! How much cash can you offer, and what do the two antiques look like?"
"The principal of 20 million is all in cash, and the interest will be repaid with Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings and Yuan blue and white porcelain. If you agree, young master, we will settle the account at the White Snake Nightclub tonight!" Lan Jiacheng's face was full of anticipation.
"Well...I'll call my father."
Sima Dalang called Sima Bei in public.
After some communication, he hung up the phone.
"My father doesn't really like antiques, calligraphy, or paintings, but he said, 'Da Lang, if you want to let Old Lan off the hook, then make the decision the way Lan Dao does.
"Old Lan, let's play three rounds of Landlord with you, me, and Dong Hang. If you win, I'll agree to your repayment method. If you lose, I'm sorry, I can only detain your daughter. I'll release Lan Jinpei when you settle your debt."
Sima Dalang smiled grimly.
Lan Jiacheng naturally agreed.
But I have an opinion: "Brother Lang, you said this without asking for my opinion. Are you sure I will play with you?"
"Dong Hang, you're only here to make up the numbers. You don't have to take the blame whether we win or lose."
"You don't know me very well. If something has nothing to do with me, I generally won't get involved."
I looked at Liu Yanran and asked, "How about you play Landlord with them?"
"Come here!"
"Why are you so fierce? I'll do it!"
I seemed to be scared by Liu Yanran, so I agreed to the card game.
"Thank you very much, stranger."
Lan Jinpei, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly hugged my legs, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.
"It's just a small thing, just to make up the numbers."
I smiled at her.
Someone brought over a deck of cards.
Sima Dalang opened the cards with a helpless look on his face and said angrily, "Old Lan, sit between me and Dong Hang."
Lan Jiacheng nodded respectfully and sat down.
Sima Dalang threw the cards to Lan Jiacheng and said coldly, "You shuffle the cards. I hope you have good luck. If you lose after three rounds, I'm sorry, I will implement my plan."
Lan Jiacheng didn't say anything.
In the private room, the only sound was the sobbing of the lame girl Lan Jinpei.
After Lan Jiacheng shuffled the cards, Sima Dalang turned over an exposed card.
During the card-drawing process, no evidence of cheating was found between Lan Jiacheng and Sima Dalang.
And I just drew the cards naturally.
Just now, I didn't even bother to remember the cards.
In the first game, Lan Jiacheng got the open cards.
The rule set by Sima Dalang is that whoever gets the open card must call the landlord.
Judging from Lan Jiacheng's expression, his situation doesn't seem to be very good.
But he could only call the landlord and turn over his three hole cards.
“It’s over!”
Before he even started playing any cards, Lan Jiacheng burst into tears and bit his lip.
The lame girl came over and saw the cards in her father's hand. Her face gradually turned pale and her body trembled irregularly.
Lan Jiacheng hesitated for a long time and chose 555 with 6.
I didn't hesitate and ordered 999 with 6.
Sima Dalang shouted, "Come over."
I continued to play a straight of 6 to K.
Sima Dalang shouted again.
When it was Lan Jiacheng's turn to play, his hands shook and he dropped the cards on the table.
"Daddy, you have Xiao Wang, don't give up."
"Nannan, only when others play single cards will Daddy have the chance to play the Joker. If he plays the Joker, he will definitely be beaten by the King."
"Dad, do I still have a chance to survive?"
"Nannan, you have to be strong. Even if you are heavily in debt, don't do anything stupid."
Lan Jiacheng burst into tears.
Lan Jinpei looked at me pitifully.
However, I calmly played all the cards in my hand.
In the first game, the landlord Lan Jiacheng lost.
