“I don’t know either. I’ll have to ask Matchmaker Zhao.”
“Matchmaker Zhao?”
“He… He’s just a live-in son-in-law.” Matchmaker Zhao also realized that the situation was out of control. She knew that something was going to happen. They thought that they had planned everything and were just waiting for Su Wen to walk into the trap and seek her death.
But now, it seemed that it wasn’t the case at all.
Since she could take out so much money, why would she be threatened?
Their plan was targeted at those who were inexperienced and timid. They could achieve their goals by bullying them as long as they threatened them. If it was someone else with the ability and courage, they would not do this.
This was because knowledgeable people would not be intimidated. After all, self-interest was illegal.
“Su Xueqiang, what’s going on? Is your family that rich?” Matchmaker Zhao blamed Su Xueqiang.
“I don’t know either!” Su Xueqiang’s eyes almost popped out.
“Could it be fake?”
As he spoke, the middleman came out to inspect the goods. He first looked at the IOU provided by Brother Zhu and showed it to Su Wen to confirm that it was valid. He then checked the box that He Changming had brought and found an astonishing number.
Both sides had finished inspecting the goods, and they could begin.
At this point, even if Brother Zhu discovered the problem, he could not go back on his word. After all, he was the most decisive person here. Moreover, there were rules in this industry. One couldn’t quit halfway once the game was started.
Whoever dared to break the rules would have their fingers chopped off.
The gameplay was straightforward. It was Pai Gow.
Su Wen clenched her fists nervously. She only knew how to play Fight the Landlord, so she was always stumbling when she played mahjong. Not to mention Pai Gow. She only knew that the speed of playing Pai Gow was very fast. One round only took a minute.
Each round was worth a few hundred Yuan.
Su Wen stared nervously at the table, occasionally glancing at Zhou Hengyang and Brother Zhu. After half an hour, she realized that the sweat on Brother Zhu’s face was getting more and more, but the man beside him was still the same as just now.
He was relaxed and natural, steady and elegant, and his every move was calm and collected.
The cash in front of Brother Zhu kept decreasing. In the end, he gritted his teeth and pushed out the IOU.
“Take it.” Zhou Hengyang handed the IOU to Su Wen.
How could Su Wen not tell that her man was amazing?
Brother Zhu’s eyes were red from losing. All the arrangements he had made in advance were in vain. More and more people gathered around him, all of them onlookers. Gamblers from various provinces, whether they were big bosses, hooligans, or old farmers, all looked at Zhou Hengyang with surprise, amazement, admiration, and fear.
Some people looked at Brother Zhu with sympathy.
This time, Brother Zhu was about to dice his fortune away.
It was fine if he only lost money, but he also lost face. This caused Brother Zhu’s vitality to be greatly damaged. He could forget about making a name for himself in this industry in the future.
“F*ck!” Brother Zhu was about to smash something when he lost, but he was stopped in time.
He Changming secretly came behind Zhou Hengyang and Su Wen. He whispered, “I’ve seen it. There are three exits in this mountain valley. On the other side is a cliff. One of the exits is a river. Although there isn’t much water in this season, it’s not safe either. As long as we control the east and west exits, we can catch these people at once.”
He Changming grew up in the mountains and was most familiar with this area.
Zhou Hengyang nodded slightly.
He Changming continued, “Do you have any way to get out? Even if you are willing to let them go, Brother Zhu and the others will never let you go..”
