Seeing Centipede deny, Su Mei calmly said:

“Alright, since you say he’s not here. Then I’ll wait here until he comes!”

With that, Su Mei turned to a security guard behind her and said:

“Clear the area, we’re waiting for someone here today!”

The phrase “clear the area” caused Eighth Brother’s face to change drastically.

This was the peak time for the arcade.

If Su Mei cleared the area, not only would it result in a loss of income, but the reputation of the arcade would also be greatly affected.

“Su Mei, you’re breaking the rules!”

Eighth Brother’s small eyes were filled with a cold light.

You could feel his anger rising.

But Su Mei didn’t care, she sneered and looked at Eighth Brother, saying coldly:

“You were the ones who broke the rules first!”

Eighth Brother squinted his small eyes, staring at Su Mei.

You could feel that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

After a while, Eighth Brother finally said:

“Fine, you’re looking for Centipede, right? I’ll call him for you now!”

With that, Eighth Brother took out his phone and started to dial.

Centipede was right next to me.

Eighth Brother dialed the number, but Centipede’s phone didn’t react at all.

I thought Eighth Brother would make an excuse, like the phone was off or no one answered.

But to my surprise, as soon as the call was connected, I heard Eighth Brother say to the other party:

“Su Mei is here, she wants to clear the area and wait for someone…”

I don’t know what the other party said.

After Eighth Brother agreed, he handed the phone to Su Mei.

Su Mei casually took the phone.

But as soon as the other party spoke, Su Mei’s expression changed.

She was a bit nervous and confused.

And her attitude became respectful.

Who was the person on the other end?

My first reaction was, could it be Zou Tiancheng.

But then I thought it was wrong.

The last time Su Mei spoke to Zou Tiancheng, her expression was tense.

But more than that, it was anger and hatred.

It was completely different from now.

After a few words, the call was hung up.

Su Mei handed the phone back to Eighth Brother.

“Eighth Brother, I don’t care what you’re planning to do. But one thing, you must ensure Chu Liu’s safety! Otherwise, you’ll be held accountable!”

With that, Su Mei turned and left.

In the office.

Eighth Brother was still sitting in the boss’s chair.

And Centipede tore off the tape from my mouth.

At the same time, he arrogantly said:

“Kid, still feeling cocky? See, your Sister Mei can’t save you either!”

I gave him a cold look and didn’t say anything.

Instead, it was Eighth Brother who suddenly took out a deck of playing cards from the drawer.

He casually shuffled the cards, and at the same time looked up at me and said:

“I heard you’re good at cards, let’s play a game. Three card poker, one round to decide the winner. If you win, we’ll let bygones be bygones and I’ll send you home. But if you lose, you’ll have to do whatever I say! How about it, not too hard for you, right?”

As he spoke, Eighth Brother had already shuffled the cards.

He reached out and handed the cards to me.

“Cut the cards…”

I wanted to refuse.

But the current situation didn’t allow me to refuse.

I reached out and cut the cards.

Eighth Brother dealt three cards to both me and him.

Just as I was about to look at my cards, Eighth Brother raised his hand to stop me and said:

“Hold on! I haven’t explained the rules yet. This round, let’s change the game. You can’t look at your cards, but you have to say whether your cards are bigger or mine. If you’re right, you win. If you’re wrong, you lose!”

As soon as Eighth Brother’s words fell.

The underlings in the room, including the enchanting Sister Huan, all gathered around.

After all, gambling is the most nerve-wracking.

But I slowly shook my head and said:

“I can’t tell…”

I said this on purpose.

Because I had a vague idea of why Eighth Brother had brought me here.

Eighth Brother laughed, and the fat on his face trembled up and down.

“You can even operate a watch detector, but you can’t tell a few playing cards?”

Sure enough.

All of this was because of the cheating incident yesterday.

Although I disguised it well yesterday.

But the news of my cheating still got out.

Without a doubt, it must have been spread by the people from the casino.

But there’s one thing I haven’t figured out yet.

This Eighth Brother is not Zou Tiancheng’s man.

Who is the person behind him?

Why is he so interested in this matter?

“Say it, whose cards are bigger?”

Eighth Brother’s chubby finger tapped on the table a few times.

In fact, I had been watching when Eighth Brother was shuffling the cards just now.

I knew all the card sequences.

He dealt me a Leopard 10.

And his hand was a scattered K, 9, 6.

From the face of the cards, my cards were bigger.

But, in reality.

Eighth Brother had two Ks hidden in his hand when he was shuffling the cards.

For me, this was basically a dead end.

Because as long as I say my cards are bigger.

He would definitely change his cards to a Leopard K.

And if I say his cards are bigger, he definitely won’t change.

I can’t go over and hold his hand and accuse him of cheating.

After all, I still have to consider the face of the world’s big brother.

The eyes of the people around were all on me.

They didn’t know that Eighth Brother was cheating.

But they wanted to see if I could guess who was bigger and who was smaller.

I thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

“Eighth Brother, can I have a cigarette to think it over?”

Eighth Brother’s CHUNGHWA cigarettes were on the table.

Hearing my request, he took one out and handed it to me.

I stepped forward, took the cigarette, and reached for the lighter on his table.

Just as I was about to touch the lighter, I suddenly changed direction.

I reached out and picked up Eighth Brother’s three cards.

Looking at Eighth Brother, I said calmly:

“Eighth Brother, I’ll bet. This hand, I win!”

With that, I laid his three cards on the desk.

Scattered cards of K, 9, 6.

I also revealed my own cards, a Leopard 10.

I won.

Without giving him a chance to change his cards.

Eighth Brother was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“Not bad, quite interesting!”

Eighth Brother already knew that I had seen his hidden cards.

He picked up the lighter next to the teapot and handed it to me.

“You won, so let’s forget about the past. However, everyone knows that I, Old Qian, love making friends. Chu Liu, I’d like to be friends with you…”

Although I didn’t know who was behind Eighth Brother.

I was certain.

Their only purpose in kidnapping me was my Swindler techniques.

And the game Eighth Brother played with me was to test my observation skills.

To see if I could spot his hidden cards.

I lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

Looking at Eighth Brother, I said calmly:

“I’m open to making friends, but I don’t quite like the way you make friends, Eighth Brother…”

I was now certain of one thing.

I was safe.

Since they were interested in my Swindler techniques.

They wouldn’t harm me.

Just as I finished speaking.

I heard Centipede grumbling discontentedly:

“How dare you talk to Eighth Brother like that?”

Centipede’s eyes were wide open.

He stared at me angrily.

Eighth Brother said nothing, sitting leisurely in his boss chair.

I knew he wanted to see how I would handle Centipede’s provocation.

I remained calm, looking at Centipede, and asked indifferently:

“Centipede, do you think I cheated today?”
