Chapter 92 Just for Fun
One deck of cards, three people, one hour, one winner.
Lin Guantang won from beginning to end, while Yuan Zhixin and Zhou Chunyu (Xiaoyu) lost equally.
It was not until Lin Guantang reshuffled the cards but did not continue dealing, and it seemed that he was finally tired of winning and didn't want to play anymore, that the other two people breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no one would be in a good mood if they kept losing, but the two losers present were in different moods.
Hara Chixin was of course depressed. First of all, it was undeniable that Kobayashi's card shuffling and cutting skills dazzled him. It was really great. However, Zhou Chunyu's acting skills were really too bad. How could he give cards to others like that? It was not even worth acting.
Most importantly, if you want to please someone, shouldn't you please him, the authentic young master of the Yuan family? What's the point of pleasing Xiaolin?
Does he think that if he disagrees, he should try to please Kobayashi and make him happy, and then he will agree to let him go in to visit his elder brother?
That also depends on whether Xiao Lin has the ability. It's difficult for him to go in and see the big brother, and in the end he still has to ask me for help. Humph, he will regret it then and see clearly who is the boss.
Originally, I knew that Trust's wild guess was only half right.
The part that was guessed correctly was that Zhou Chunyu did lose on purpose, wanting to make the "Brother Kobayashi" that Young Master Yuan always called him happy, and then take him in to see Hara Zhiren.
But even if he didn't deliberately put down the cards, his chances of winning were not much.
And his hope that "Brother Kobayashi" would be happy about his win and take him in to meet people was completely dashed - this was half of what Hara Chixin guessed wrong.
Lin Guantang really didn't want to continue playing. To be honest, judging from the card skills of this "Xiaoyu", he didn't look like a good player at all. But think about it, if his skills were good, he wouldn't have kept losing money - just like the results of their wins and losses in the past hour, it was simply terrible.
But it is not ruled out that Xiaoyu was absent-minded throughout the whole process or deliberately gave him a break, which is why his card skills seemed very poor.
Whatever the possibility, the result is already determined.
Lin Guantang had no intention of continuing to play. Zhou Chunyu watched him collect his cards and put them aside, not intending to continue, so he quickly asked tentatively:
"Master Xiaolin, can you take me to see Brother Yuan?"
Lin Guantang looked at him with an apologetic expression:
"See Young Master Yuan? Sorry, I can't see him either."
Zhou Chunyu was stunned and said in disbelief:
"But isn't this the reason you asked me to play cards?"
"I don't think I've ever mentioned anything like that."
Lin Guantang also showed a puzzled look, and even thought about it seriously, and then said with certainty:
"Xiao Xin, did you hear me say that if he loses to me or beats me, I will take him to see your eldest brother?"
It's true that I didn't say anything, but isn't that what it means to bring it up at a time like this?!
Yuan Zhixin and Zhou Chunyu looked at Lin Guantang at the same time, and the same meaning was conveyed in the eyes of the two different people.
But Lin Guantang sat there, unmoved, without any guilt about playing tricks on others, and looked at Zhou Chunyu calmly:
"You think too much."
Is he thinking too much, or are you deliberately playing tricks on him?
Zhou Chunyu looked at the person in front of him with red eyes. She looked like a fairy, but her mind was so cunning. Is it fun to play tricks on him?
But what can I do? Should I argue with this person or fight with him? Even if a conflict occurs, I will only suffer.
Zhou Chunyu's teeth were chattering as he stared at Lin Guantang for a long time. Finally, he glared at Lin Guantang hatefully, then suddenly stood up, causing the table to shake. However, he ignored the pain and left angrily.
Yuan Zhixin looked at him in surprise as he left in a rage—perhaps it would be more accurate to say he left in a rage, still somewhat bewildered.
"You're so angry! It's just a few losses, just a joke. But the look in your eyes just now was as if you wanted to kill me."
Maybe he just wanted to kill someone...
Lin Guantang gathered the scattered cards and prepared to put them in the box. Yuan Zhixin hadn't finished looking at them yet, so he saw him and said quickly:
"Don't put it away yet. Teach me, Brother Xiaolin! I didn't expect you to be so good at playing cards and cut the cards so beautifully. Teach me!"
——If you also have a neighbor who is good at various gambling techniques, you can also learn some skills.
Lin Guantang said this in his heart. Of course, it was impossible for him to really teach Yuan Zhixin how to play cards. He changed the subject very smoothly:
"You seem to know him quite well. Have you ever heard anyone mention where he often gambles?"
Yuan Zhixin showed a disappointed expression and replied casually:
"It's the Glass House. I saw him several times when I went there secretly before."
Lin Guantang didn't know what to say for a moment. Was it good that the Glass Pavilion was actually a casino? Or should he say that it didn't seem like he would need to teach them the techniques...
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle school student in front of him warily:
"You go gambling?"
Yuan Zhixin immediately waved his hand and clarified without thinking:
"Of course not! I just went there secretly to play. There are many entertainment projects in the Glass House. For example, the brother there makes delicious cocktails and has excellent skills."
Lin Guantang continued to stare at him and said quietly:
"Minors can't drink alcohol either."
Yuan Zhixin laughed awkwardly twice, pretending not to hear, and asked in a serious tone:
"Why did Brother Xiaolin ask him where he was gambling?"
The method of changing the subject was a bit too abrupt.
Lin Guantang looked at him disapprovingly, but didn't say anything more.
He and Yuan Zhixin are not related in any way, so a reminder or two will be enough. Saying more will only make people feel disgusted instead of correcting their behavior, especially at this age, when the more you talk, the more rebellious they will become.
For example, right now, before Lin Guantang even opened his mouth to answer his purpose, Yuan Zhixin imagined some scenarios and excitedly said:
"Brother Xiaolin, are you planning to go over for a secret investigation? Then take me with you!"
Children of this age are naturally very curious, and Lin Guantang understands this very well.
However, it is impossible for Lin Guantang to take minors to gamble.
So he stroked Yuan Zhixin's hair with a smile and said:
"I have other plans. If I remember correctly, the uncle I met on the first day here seems to be the person in charge of this Glass Pavilion, right? Please help me find him. I need something from him."
Yuan Zhixin showed a puzzled look. Although he didn't know what he was looking for, he fully understood that he must have found a new clue, so he immediately nodded and promised to do this without hesitation.
***
Day after day, Zhou Chunyu tried every possible way but failed to meet Yuan Zhiren. He wanted to find someone he knew in the Yuan family, but Yuan Zhiren, the original heir, suddenly had an accident. All the people in the Yuan family were so busy that they had no time to entertain him.
Two or three days later, Zhou Chunyu found nothing again and returned to his residence in a daze. When he was about to use the key to open the door, he suddenly felt like there was someone at the door, which scared him. He thought it was a thief or a robber. As he was about to open the door and quietly step back, he heard a cough in the dark, and a short man jumped. The corridor lights came on, and he could see clearly who the two people at the door were.
It was Yuan Zhixin and that "Brother Xiaolin" - Zhou Chunyu now fully understood that this Brother Xiaolin was the "Classmate Xiaolin" who had been very popular on the Internet recently, and Lin Guantang, the lover of Young Master Huo who had caused a big fuss at the banquet.
He had not forgotten the teasing that classmate Kobayashi had done to him that day, and he suddenly felt dissatisfied - although he was happy for a moment, imagining that they came here to take him to see Brother Yuan, but this idea was dispelled as soon as it came up.
Young Master Yuan had never given him a good look, and now he had a gloomy face. It didn't look like he was planning to take him to see Big Brother Yuan. As for Lin Guantang... he had been fooled once, and he didn't dare to trust him a second time.
Besides, he had also inquired about this person and knew that he was not favored by the Yuan family just like himself, so it was even more impossible for him to come and take him to see Brother Yuan.
Anyway, after thinking about it, he didn't want to entertain these two people at all, but he couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he could only drag his feet over, shaking the key loudly, looking straight ahead, and asked bluntly:
"What are you doing here?"
"Yuan Zhiren is about to die. I'm here to give you his obituary."
How is it possible...!
Zhou Chunyu had originally decided to open the door and go into the house immediately after asking, then lock the door and leave. However, when he heard Lin Guantang's words, his face suddenly turned pale.
All thoughts in my mind disappeared, leaving only his words and the plain white envelope he handed over.
What's in the envelope?
Zhou Chunyu couldn't believe it and didn't want to take it, but after looking at it for a while, he took the envelope with red eyes and trembling fingers, then opened it with trembling hands and took out the things inside.
There were countless surveillance photos, all of which showed him appearing in the Glass Pavilion.
He flipped through the book from beginning to end but didn't find anything about Hara Tomohito's death.
Did he take it by mistake? Or was he playing a joke on him again?
Damn it! Damn it!
When a sparrow flies onto a tree and turns into a phoenix, it starts to laugh at other sparrows. When a poor person marries a famous family, he turns around and mocks other poor people. He is even more hateful than those rich people who like to play tricks on others!
Zhou Chunyu couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his head suddenly, not caring about the scattered photos, and punched Lin Guantang directly.
But he was stopped halfway.
Lin Guantang stretched out his hand to block his fist, and met Yuan Zhixin's horrified gaze at the side, and sighed in his heart - Miss Yuan's preemptive move was really unexpectedly effective.
It's just amazing.
Before Zhou Chunyu could explode in anger again, Lin Guantang took the opportunity to say:
"Do you want to fight me, or do you want to discuss saving Young Master Yuan?"
Zhou Chunyu was furious:
"You tricked me first!"
Lin Guantang:
"A love of gambling is a persona someone created for you. It's not something you're truly good at or enjoy, right?"
Zhou Chunyu's entire body stiffened for a moment. His red eyes, whether from anger or pain, instantly revealed a mixture of panic and vigilance.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? What are you trying to do to me?"
"I'm not kidding you."
Lin Guantang saw him subconsciously withdraw his arms in panic, as if he had given up the idea of continuing to fight. He squatted down and picked up the photos scattered on the ground, and said slowly and clearly:
"If you continue to hide this, then Yuan Zhiren may never wake up again, and you may never see him again."
