Gambling reflects character, but the gambler's hands reveal his character even more. Because all gamblers, or almost all gamblers, quickly learn a skill to control their facial expressions - they will hang a mask of indifference above the stiff collar of their shirts and pretend to be indifferent. An expression of indifference.
Even a professional con man like Zheng Yunzhi can suppress the lines at the corners of his mouth, grit his teeth to suppress the panic in his heart, calm his eyes without showing obvious urgency, and smooth out the angular muscles on his face Come down, pretending not to care, and never think of detecting any clues from their expressions.
However, precisely because he was trying his best to control his face so as not to reveal his true feelings, he happened to forget about his hands.
According to these hands, just by observing their waiting, grasping and hesitating patterns, one can learn everything: the hands of the greedy are scratching, the hands of the spendthrift are loose, the hands of the cunning are quiet, the hands of the thoughtful are The joints bounce; all kinds of personality are fully revealed in the way of grabbing money. This person crumpled the banknotes into a ball, that one was so nervous that he wanted to crush them into shreds, and some people were exhausted and spread their hands. There was no movement in the gambling.
Ye Hongyou's hands were as quiet as a well-educated girl facing the man of her dreams for the first time. Zheng Yunzhi's hands are much more frivolous. He always fiddles with the lighter. Occasionally, he will fiddle with the breast buttons of his shirt, or fiddle with his new clothes when he thinks no one is paying attention. denture.
These details are not visible in ordinary times. This experienced man only makes these subconscious actions at the gambling table. And of course the person who could make him so nervous was Ye Hongyou.
He got off the train halfway, and Li Muye sent someone to pick him up and cooperate with Brother Xiaoye in this game.
The gambling game was set up in Li Muye's house in the western suburbs of Coal City. Hidden in the middle of the mountain and with gurgling ditches, Ye Hong, dressed in white, sat there again, calm and indifferent, like a freehand landscape splashed with ink. A table full of real money was laid out. This was a scene that Zheng Yunzhi had never experienced in his life.
At this moment, Zheng Yunzhi's hand was flipping the lighter subconsciously, and Ye Hong looked at it calmly and with a smile. Li Muye looked furious with his clothes exposed.
Among the three cards, Zheng Yunzhi's card was the largest, followed by Ye Hong's, and Li Muye's was the smallest, but each still had a hole card that was not revealed.
"You don't have enough money." Ye Hong looked at the time again and said to Zheng Yunzhi: "Friend, your skills are good. If it weren't for a little bit of luck, you might have a chance to make a comeback after playing a few more games. But today, you I’m afraid there is no chance.”
"What?" Zheng Yunzhi was in the mood for gambling. He glanced at the expressionless Li Muye, then looked at Ye Hongyou, and said, "Aren't you ready to place a bet?"
Ye Hong grabbed another stack of banknotes in front of him and threw it into the center of the table, saying, "You two can use this money to buy cigarettes. I'm no longer interested in the money left on your table."
"You want to leave after winning?" Li Muye sneered: "Old Ye, you are a bit dishonest."
Ye Hong shook his head again and said: "It's not that I'm unjust, but I don't want to get things done. What we're playing with is technology. It's pointless to hurt people with our own abilities."
Li Muye stared at the card table. The cards of the three people were: Zheng Yunzhi had three kings and an ace. Ye Hong had three threes and an ace. His own card was a straight, which was three. He had secretly revealed it to Zheng Yunzhi knew it, and Zheng Yunzhi's trump card was A. Even Ye Hongyou's trump card was also A. They were both full houses, so Zheng Yunzhi's trump card was obviously bigger. So if the game continues, according to the rules, Zheng Yunzhi is already invincible.
This was the most exciting moment. He had been waiting for such an opportunity all day. But at this moment, Ye Hong backed down again. Zheng Yunzhi must be very unwilling to end the card game right now. Of course, he couldn't borrow money from Li Muye at this time.
Zheng Yunzhi had already lost all the funds Li Muye had prepared for him, as well as his own money and the one million he won from Li Muye yesterday. At this moment, he gradually forgot his identity and was almost a pure gambler who lost his money. He didn't want to give up, so he subconsciously tugged at the hem of his clothes. When he touched the button, his hand paused, and his clenched fist relaxed instantly.
This button must be valuable. Li Muye made his judgment based on experience.
The best crooks always leave themselves a bargaining chip to make money at a critical moment.
It can't be a list, because lists are worthless at this table. It might be the information that he was going to sell for money, but it was more likely that it was his savings.
He first gave Ye Hongyou a look, then sighed and asked, "Old Ye, do you dare to give me some time so that I can send someone to get the money now?"
"What a joke, is there such a rule in the casino?" Ye Hong asked again: "If you want to continue playing, bring real money and silver, whether it's jewelry, diamonds or cashier's checks, as long as the goods are genuine, I will accept them all, otherwise, this Even if I lose, we’ll be here today.”
"I still have money!" Zheng Yunzhi suddenly said in a low voice: "You have to keep playing." As he said that, he decisively pulled down the button.
Bai Xue, who had been by Li Muye's side, changed slightly. Li Muye directly pressed her hand and wrote on the palm of his hand, what you want is not in this button either.
The button was opened and a piece of paper was taken out with a long list of numbers written on it. Zheng Yunzhi said: "This is an account in a Swiss bank. There are six million US dollars in it. Is it enough to finish this gamble with you?"
"If it's true, of course!" Ye Hong glanced at Li Muye again and asked, "You brought me here, what do you mean?"
What he meant by this was that I don't know this person named Zheng, I only know you named Li. Whether the money in this account can be cashed out cannot be just based on his words.
Zheng Yunzhi also looked over, his eyes full of expectation.
Li Muye glanced at the note, took it over and looked at it casually. On the front was the account number and on the back was the password. He placed it in front of Bai Xue and said, "Of course I believe in Brother Zheng's strength. If this account is If you can’t cash it out, the money will just go to me.”
Ye Hong laughed again: "Brother Li is so happy, let's continue!"
Zheng Yunzhi's eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily, saying, "I bet all on it, but I don't believe that your hole card is 3!"
"The remaining 3 is with me." Li Muye gave up first, then threw his trump card on the table.
The two of them stared at Ye Hongyou angrily.
Ye Hong smiled again, looked at Zheng Yunzhi and asked, "So, Brother Zheng, are you absolutely sure that your trump card is K or A?"
All three cards have an A, Li Muye is out, and Zheng Yunzhi will win if his trump card is A or K. Ye Hongyou's hole card must be A, and Zheng Yunzhi can only win if he is not K. He simply pushed the money onto the table and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to stand up, and I'll follow!"
In blunt Chinese: "Please open the cards!"
Zheng Yunzhi suddenly stood up, with great momentum, he decisively picked up his trump card and threw it on the table without even looking at it!
Ye Hong synchronized with it again and calmly turned over the last hole card.
Zheng Yunzhi's pupils dilated instantly and he stared at the Ace dumbly. The hole card he dropped on the table had been replaced by a Jack at some point.
Three pairs of gourds, the victory or defeat is clear at a glance.
He exclaimed in surprise: "You are cheating!" He turned to look at Li Muye and shouted: "He is cheating. My trump card is clearly the Ace of Hearts."
Li Muye calmly said: "Brother Zheng, don't worry, he hasn't moved on the other side of the table, how can he play a trick to change your cards?" He added: "Let's hurry up and cash out the money in your account first, otherwise I'm worried that you and I won't be able to get out of this house."
Zheng Yunzhi was surprised by Li Muye's change of attitude. Looking back on what had just happened, he suddenly realized that he had been caught in a series of traps.
"It was you. It was you who changed my trump card for him when he revealed his trump card!" He pointed at Li Muye and shouted angrily: "You two are together."
Li Muye ignored him. At this time, Bai Xue had already entered the account information into the computer. The six million US dollars were genuine and she transferred them directly.
"I'm willing to admit defeat. It's the rules of the world. No one should think about being special." Ye Hong snorted again and said: "Brother Li, this money was lost to me by this man named Zheng, but you have something to say first. If I can't get it, Money, then don’t blame me for falling out with you.”
Li Muye said, "I've already got the money and I'll cash it in for you right away."
The two sang together, completely leaving Zheng Yunzhi aside. By this time, he was absolutely convinced it was a scam.
"Damn you bastard!" Zheng Yunzhi yelled out a Korean curse and glared at Li Muye. Leng Sensen said: "Return my money to me immediately, otherwise no one will be able to leave this house today."
Bang!
Li Muye put down the blood-stained bottle of wine in his hand, and Pu Shuxian, who had just gotten a gun out of nowhere, threw herself on the table. The gun in his hand was snatched by Bai Xue, who had quick eyes and quick hands. He turned to Zheng Yunzhi.
"Want to be cruel?" Li Muye looked at him contemptuously: "I don't want to think about who I am."
Zheng Yunzhi looked extremely ugly and gritted his teeth: "You have no idea who you are provoking. You will pay the price."
"Pay the price?" Li Muye mocked: "On my one-third of an acre of land, how much trouble can you, a Korean stick, make?" After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Zheng Yunzhi on the fat face. .
Zheng Yunzhi screamed strangely and rushed forward.
Li Muye flew up and kicked him on the chest. Zheng Yunzhi leaned back quickly and hugged Li Muye's ankle. Li Muye was knocked to the ground, but Zheng Yunzhi was also brought down with a hook of his foot. The two struggled on the ground.
Bai Xue watched from the side with a gun in hand, not daring to act rashly without getting a hint from Li Muye. Her mission was the list and intelligence. Before confirming that the list was on Zheng Yunzhi, she neither dared to kill him nor reveal her true identity. She cast her eyes on Ye Hongyou. Old Ye hugged his shoulders and said nothing, as if watching the fire from the other side. She didn't know if there was any deeper meaning.
Li Muye punched Zheng Yunzhi on the cheek, and Zheng Yunzhi hit Li Muye's nostril with blood. Li Muye ignored the pain and continued to stare at his cheeks and punch him. After three consecutive blows, Zheng Yunzhi's expression suddenly changed, his whole body relaxed, he lay down slumped aside, waved his hands and said: "No more fighting, I give up. You can take the money and this matter ends here!”
"It's time to call it a day." Li Muye stood up, walked to Bai Xue, wiped away the nosebleed, and said with a mischievous smile: "Fortunately, I found the thing."
Bai Xue looked at his embarrassed appearance in surprise. The blood on his handsome face was not completely gone, but there was a flying smile. His aggressive eyes were cynical, as if he had seen all the weakness in her heart.
At that moment, this yuppie and scoundrel man turned out to be extremely handsome in her eyes!
