When the people gathered around the gambling table looked up, they found that two unfamiliar faces had appeared. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, especially the girl standing at the back who was simply stunning.
Luo Junpeng looked up and saw Xie Chenan's expressionless face. Tears welled up in his eyes with excitement. "Jiu Shao, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, you would have died here." Xie Chenan slapped him on the back of the head without mercy. After venting his anger, he looked at the IOU coldly, "I have plenty of money at home. There's no need to run around here."
After he finished speaking, he threw the paper away.
The thug was a little angry and was about to explode, but at this time the middle-aged man across the table spoke.
"Haha, this must be the famous Xie Jiushao in Jiangcheng. He's a wealthy man indeed, and his words are full of confidence." The man picked up a card on the table and played with it in his hand. He smiled meaningfully and said, "How about, Jiushao, play with me?"
Hearing this, before Xie Chenan could say anything, Luo Junpeng shook his head like a rattle, "If you don't come, Jiu Shao, you must not come. He is very good at gambling."
He had won a lot in the past few days, but today he lost everything to this man.
"It's okay if you don't want to gamble. Then leave one arm. There are so many of you, just pick one at random." The other party pointed to the F class student who was being controlled nearby.
Luo Junpeng immediately became cautious and looked at Xie Chenan guiltily, his heart and eyes filled with regret.
At this time, Xie Chenan was too lazy to argue with him. He raised his eyebrows and said directly to the other party: "However you want to play, I will accompany you, but let me make a promise first. Regardless of whether we win or lose this round, you have to keep your promise and let us go. Otherwise, even if I fight to the death, I will destroy this place when I get out."
Although he is young and energetic, he is also very ruthless and is completely different from a paper tiger like Luo Junpeng.
The man showed a hint of hesitation, but then he remembered something and nodded quickly, "Okay, I keep my word."
After he finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to the person sitting opposite him.
Xie Chenan patted Luo Junpeng, who stood up, his face full of worry as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Jiu Shao, you must be careful. He is very good at counting cards, and Texas Hold'em is his strong point."
Be sure to avoid it.
Xie Chenan understood what he meant and nodded slightly in response. When he was about to sit down, he heard the indifferent and cold voice of a girl coming from the side and behind him.
"Let me do it."
Um?
The two young men turned around and looked at Ye Lan.
Xie Chenan was slightly surprised and asked, "Why?"
Ye Lan's face was calm, "Curiosity."
Xie Chenan: “…”
Do you think I believe it?
But no matter why the girl lied with her eyes open, Xie Chenan subconsciously gave up his seat and stood at the back.
All the onlookers were confused.
The middle-aged man opposite narrowed his eyes, his expression tinged with danger, "Jiu Shao, what do you mean by this?"
Xie Chenan opened his mouth but didn't say anything when he heard Ye Lan's voice indifferently say, "I've never played before. I begged him to let me play. If I lose, it's his."
The man was stunned when he heard this, then he raised his head and laughed out loud, "What a hero is hard to resist the beauty, I didn't expect Xie Jiushao to be so sympathetic to women, then I will play with you, my little beauty."
Many people on the sidelines joined in the booing, seemingly laughing at Xie Chenan for overestimating his own abilities and trying to act big.
"What do you want to play with me, little beauty?" The man quickly set his sights on Ye Lan, his gaze as clear as a mirror. "I'll be a gentleman and let you choose. For the first bet, let's keep it simple. If you lose, just take off a piece of clothing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the gamblers at the table became excited.
Xie Chenan, Luo Junpeng and others were so angry that they wanted to swear.
But before they could start cursing, the girl nodded and said, "Okay."
There was no expression on her cold and beautiful face.
The man hadn't expected her to agree so readily. After a few seconds of hesitation, he applauded. "You're courageous! I like that. Hahaha. So, what's the bet, little beauty? Do I take off one too?"
The other party was clearly using verbal insults.
Everyone in Class F was very angry when they heard this, but Ye Lan remained calm.
"If you lose..." She slowly bent her fingertips and tapped the tabletop. Her cold, ethereal voice gently spread across the room. "Chop off one of your hands."
Shopping.
The place suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at her with wide eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.
"You said you want... a hand?" The man's smile had completely vanished. After receiving the girl's definitive answer, he sneered, "What a boast! Haha, I promise, as long as you can win. Then let me choose this round. We'll play Texas Hold'em, best of three."
After saying that, he turned to look at the dealer and asked him to deal the cards directly, without even giving Ye Lan any room for choice.
Ye Lan didn't mind. After listening to Xie Chenan's explanation of how to play, he sat quietly on the stool.
Texas Hold'em is commonly known as 21 Points.
Based on the sum of the points of the two cards, you win if the points are closest to 21, and you lose if the points exceed 21.
After the dealer dealt two cards to each of them in the first round, the man opposite realized that the girl did not move.
"You don't want to look at the cards?"
Ye Lan, with his arms folded, was still some distance away from the table. He shook his head upon hearing this and said calmly, "I'm afraid the people you arranged might peek, so I won't look."
"..." The man's face darkened after being pointed out so bluntly. He gritted his teeth and smiled, "How can you beat me without looking at the cards?"
"If you want to win, you can win." Ye Lan remained calm.
"Oh, okay, Young Master Xie really found a good girl. Don't cry when you get cheated and have nothing left." Seeing that he couldn't excite her, the man turned his head and looked at Xie Chenan.
Without thinking, Xie Chenan immediately retorted, "This is my business, so don't worry about it."
Not to mention that Ye Lan was half his master, even if there was no such relationship, she was a contracted guest of the Xie family. Even if he spent all the financial resources of the Xie family, no one would blame him.
And even if the girl didn't know how to play poker, he inexplicably felt that she could win.
Seeing that he couldn't break the two of them apart, the man had to give up. After looking at the cards himself, he added a card and then asked the girl to show her cards.
Ye Lan then reached out and turned over his cards.
Double Tenth.
20 o'clock.
The man tightened his grip upon seeing this, and then turned over his cards. 379 added up to 19 points.
"Yes! We won!"
Luo Junpeng couldn't help but clench his fist and yelled softly. God knows he was so nervous that his back was wet with sweat.
The man opposite threw his cards down and said with a sinister smile, "Don't be too happy too soon. This is only the first hand. Keep dealing."
The dealer in the middle of the table obeyed his orders, shuffled and cut the cards, and then dealt the second round of cards.
Because Ye Lan won the first round, he is the banker this time and has the right to draw cards first.
But she asked for a card without even looking at it.
"Has this little girl gone crazy? She was able to try her luck in the last round, but now she's playing tricks on me when she draws the cards. Isn't she afraid of busting?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we'll be able to feast our eyes on the strip show later, hehehe."
