When tens of thousands of integer cash, as well as several scattered cash, are used as chips, most people's attention will be drawn to the scattered cash chips.
The reason for this is that the eyes are actually one of the most deceptive senses in the human body.
This view is well confirmed in magic performances.
Despite the obvious flaws right in front of their eyes, no one can detect them.
And the art of cheating is even more deceptive than magic.
From the moment the cash was brought over as chips to set up the game, Duan Kun had already calculated everything in his mind.
No matter what he gambled on, he would use the cash chips to provide cover for himself and complete the cheating.
It's just that the five cards in showdown and the special showdown rules in Wenzhou made it even easier and calmer for him to leave no trace.
From the third card onwards, Duan Kun was secretly swapping cards while looking at them.
At the same time, the moment he swapped cards, Duan Kun would make a move to hide the real card in the pile of cash.
If he were caught, the outcome would be simple.
He would gain nothing and be directly declared a loser.
After transferring the real cards, regardless of whether the swapped cards in each round were high or low, Duan Kun used the rules of calling bets and raising bets to throw the pile of cash containing the real cards onto the table so openly.
Although there was a risk of exposure, he cleverly used those scattered cash to distract and divert everyone's attention.
As long as the cheating was successful, no one could discover the secret hidden in the pile of cash.
Because this money would eventually be won back by him!
From the beginning of the setup, Duan Kun had calculated every detail.
What were his advantages and disadvantages, and what were our advantages and disadvantages.
It is no exaggeration to say that the well-prepared Duan Kun had calculated everything he could, but he had only failed to calculate one thing.
The time he chose to come and challenge the场子, Shen Mengqing had just recruited another "dark lantern" for Ruichi.
That person was... me!
Moreover, Shen Mengqing had assigned me to the second echelon of the Ruichi dark lantern team, waiting as his direct opponent.
I, this accidental variable, became the only nemesis in his game.
Enter the game, disrupt the game, and then... break the game!
...
After hearing my complete account, Shen Mengqing, who was driving, fell into a state of endless contemplation and did not say another word.
After a long while, when she came back to her senses, Shen Mengqing slowly said, "Although your cheating skills are not very advanced, this mindset... is truly somewhat monstrous."
"Chen Xiang, can you tell me who you learned all this from?"
Shen Mengqing's words made me slightly stunned.
But then, I smiled.
Shen Mengqing said my cheating skills were not advanced, probably because she saw my performance during the interview. Apart from a perfect shuffling and card-swapping technique, I didn't display any other cheating methods.
And in the gambling match with Duan Kun that night, I didn't reveal any cheating techniques from beginning to end.
So, she subconsciously thought that my attainments in cheating were not very high.
Little did she know, this was intentional on my part.
As long as the game can be broken, showing off with cheating techniques is not important at all.
Therefore, I did not intend to explain it clearly to her.
To speak seven parts, to do seven parts, to interact with people seven parts...
As a professional gambler, maintaining mystery and making others unable to see through your strength is far more important than showing off with cheating techniques.
So I didn't answer Shen Mengqing's question, just shook my head and smiled.
Seeing that I did not answer, Shen Mengqing did not dwell on the previous question but wisely made small talk with me.
The benefit of chatting with intelligent people is that if you don't want to discuss a topic, the other party will immediately stop when they understand.
After about ten minutes...
When I asked Shen Mengqing how she, as a "lantern holder," usually relieved stress while abstaining from smoking and drinking...
Shen Mengqing, with one hand supporting her cheek and the other driving, was about to answer when she glanced up inadvertently through the car's rearview mirror, and her face instantly changed.
"Someone is following us!"
Upon hearing this, I immediately turned to look behind.
I saw three black Passats following Shen Mengqing's Porsche unhurriedly, driving side by side on the road.
The driver of the leading Passat was Fang Long, whom I recognized.
If we calculate each car as being fully occupied, three cars would mean fifteen people.
It was clear that these people were after me.
It seemed that Duan Kun's revenge had arrived.
"Did you see who it was?" Shen Mengqing asked, turning her head slightly to look at me.
"Fang Long, Duan Kun and them," I replied quickly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengqing immediately frowned and asked, "It seems these people are after us! What do we do now? Turn back to the场子, or try to shake them off?"
After a moment of thought, I replied, "Going back to the场子 during rush hour is useless! Since these people can follow so closely, it means they are prepared!"
"Take me to where I live! I have a way to deal with them!"
After saying that, I took out my phone from my pocket and called Cheng Minglang.
After briefly explaining the situation to Cheng Minglang, I hung up the phone.
At this time, Shen Mengqing turned to me and said, "Although I don't know what your trump card is, leading these people to your residence is too risky."
"How about... I drive directly to the nearest police station?"
Upon hearing this, I immediately laughed, "Hahaha~ That's fine too! The police station is much safer than outside!"
"As long as we can get to the police station, there's nothing to worry about."
After saying that, I sent another message to Cheng Minglang, asking him to bring Han Jinlun to the nearest police station to wait for me.
Using violence to solve problems is often the lowest-class method.
If you can use your brain, try not to use your hands!
So, for the next period of time, a car chase battle with the police station as the final destination began on the road...
Unfortunately, this car chase battle only lasted for less than three minutes before it was over!
It wasn't that Shen Mengqing's driving skills were poor, but that Fang Long's group was too aggressive and fierce, using Passats to race with the Porsche on the road!
Before Shen Mengqing was fully prepared for the car chase, as soon as the Passat overtook, they all forced her Porsche to stop.
Then, Fang Long and his gang, holding steel pipes, baseball bats, and knives, got out of the cars with sinister smiles, surrounding me and Shen Mengqing.
Seeing this, I immediately signaled Shen Mengqing to lock the car doors and then took out my phone to contact Cheng Minglang again.
Unfortunately, although I spoke quickly, Shen Mengqing's reaction was ultimately a step too slow...
