Forces of Temptation

Wen Jiasheng froze in place, the turmoil in his heart fell on his face, and it was just a slight twitch of his facial nerves.

Diamond A is his life-saving hole card.

Now, it was held in Jiang Fang's hand red like fire.

why?

Did I remember it wrong, washed it wrong, or...

The last time he and Jiang Fang had physical contact was at the end of the card, when he suddenly reached out and held down his wrist.

That was also the time when Jiang Fang was most likely to make a move.

Did he secretly change the order of the cards at that time?

But at that time, his hand was already on the board, how did he manage to make a sneak change under his nose?

No, these are not important to him now.

Regardless of whether Jiang Fang was out of the way at that time, as long as he was not caught on the spot, he had room to argue.

What's more, if he exposes Jiang Fang's cheating now, then his secret possession of the last card will also be exposed, which is not only meaningless, but also harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.

——The most important thing is, what will be the hidden card in front of him now?

He had lost the courage to flip it, and the grooves in his palms were dripping with sweat.

Wen Jiasheng reached out to take it subconsciously, but suddenly felt a pain in the back of his hand, as if he had been burned.

...Jiang Fang did not know when he took the metal chip hook placed on the side of the table, and across half of the table, he slapped Wen Jiasheng on the back of his hand gently.

He tapped his palm gracefully with the hook, once and for all, with a leisurely expression.

"Mr. Wen, what are you going to do?" He said, "I just drew with the two Mr. Dai, and I haven't said whether to follow the cards."

Because his mind was too shocked, Wen Jiasheng directly skipped the emotion of anger.

Yes, Jiang Fang got an A. If counting as 1, his score was just the same as that of the Dai brothers, which was 19 points.

But does he dare to ask for it now?

Where does his confidence come from?

Unless, he knows the position of every card in this deck like the back of his hand.

But the card in front of him was obviously washed by Wen Jiasheng himself, how could it...?

Jiang Zhengping, who was on the sidelines of the battle, also had his scalp tingle, and an alcohol lamp was set up under his heart, frying him thoroughly from the inside out.

While speaking, Jiang Fang steadily drew out a card from the deck, and it was another ace of clubs.

Jiang Zhengping suddenly took a step forward.

However, before he uttered his voice, Wen Jiasheng had already made a choice at the same time as him: "I fold!"

With 5 points, he couldn't afford to be overdrawn.

Wen Jiasheng is still not sure if he has inadvertently shuffled the wrong cards.

But he knew that the possibility that the hidden card in his hand could be an ace was extremely rare.

Sure enough, when he numb his fingertips and turned over the hidden card, what caught his eyes was a 7.

Blackjack stipulates that if the banker's hand exceeds 21 points, he cannot draw any more cards.

In other words, this is not a guarantee of victory at all, but a stinky hand that must be defeated.

When he thought of how he was relying on the presence of this stinky old god just now, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could scratch the ground with his toes.

"Ah." Jiang Fang turned around again, and said with regret in his eyes, "We almost won."

Nan Zhou raised his hand and touched his head, expressing comfort: "You can continue."

The "like a dream" trio each lost 1000 points.

In the 10-minute game, they had already lost over ten thousand points.

When Dai Xuelin frightenedly sorted out the remaining cards and began to try to shuffle them, a small storm was going on in Jiang Zhengping's mind.

He knew that Wen Jiasheng's self-confidence in the early stage must be because he had a lot of confidence in the hidden card.

In the end, the card appeared in Jiang Fang's hand.

This was the key blow to destroy Wen Jiasheng's confidence.

However, if Jiang Fang really knew this deck so well, why didn't he draw 18 and make up a 3 when he already had 21 points?

Even if you draw another ace, or a 2, it's good.

Why do you want to draw the square A?

Wouldn't it be nice to let Wen Jiasheng continue to have confidence in the cards in his hand?

Wouldn't it be good to trick him into continuing to have absolute confidence in his hidden cards, wait for him to turn over the cards, and then witness his horrified expression?

Why does it have to be the ace of squares?

Maybe it's a coincidence?

What card does Jiang Fang draw depends on luck?

Or did he actually predict that he would have such a thought long ago, and did it on purpose, so that he still misunderstood that he did not have the ability to play thousands of cards, and teased them to keep playing and losing with him?

For a while, Jiang Zhengping couldn't make a choice, and in a hurry, he raised his hand and held down Dai Xuelin's hand who had already shuffled half of the cards.

Immediately, dozens of eyes from inside and outside the gambling table were all on him.

"Change the cards." Jiang Zhengping tried his best to keep his voice down, and gave a new order, "Two new decks of cards."

This decision seemed to be beyond Jiang Fang's expectation.

He raised his eyebrows.

The reason why he said "like" was that Jiang Zhengping could no longer trust every slight change in his expression.

Sure enough, the order was too abrupt, and before Jiang Fang could protest, Li Yinhang from the sidelines spoke first: "Why? Didn't you say before that you want to play to the end with a deck of cards?"

Jiang Zhengping was sweating in his palms, but his face remained calm: "...I am the 'king'"

Nan Zhou took the words slowly: "Even if you are a 'king', you can't break your own rules, right?"

Jiang Fang also sighed, "It's not fair."

He used his chin to touch the back of the hands that were overlapping and supported on the side of the table. It was obviously the same movement as when Nan Zhou was acting like a baby, but he cast his eyes on Jiang Zhengping with a heart-stopping scrutiny and calmness: "If every 'king' The rules can be modified at any stage of the game, next time, if Yinhang is drawn to compete with you, can the 'King' temporarily add a rule, whoever loses, who wins?"

Jiang Zhengping didn't know that this was an act of violating fairness, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to do it.

He secretly calculated, a deck of cards, maybe Jiang Fang still has the energy to calculate.

Two decks of cards, 104 cards, with the limit of human mind and eyesight, how to count and see them all?

But before Jiang Zhengping could figure out what to say, Jiang Fang sighed again: "Forget it."

The other three people at the gaming table were all confused.

What does "forget it" mean?

Jiang Fang quickly added footnotes and explanations for these two words: "It's okay to change the cards, or two decks. But, you added two conditions, and I will also add two."

Jiang Fang said: "First, I want no one to fold their cards."

"Second, I want to increase the minimum bet to 10000."

Hearing that he followed his own request to make new demands very naturally, Jiang Zhengping had the idea of ​​completely abandoning "21 o'clock" in an instant.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Fang never wavered or doubted, and always smiled like this, which made Jiang Zhengping suspect that he had fallen into an airtight trap.

However, no matter how he rushes, he is actually always in the palm of others.

What if Jiang Fang did it on purpose?

He deliberately made himself suspicious, pretending that he could memorize cards on purpose, and induced him to temporarily modify the rules, and then cover his own rules as if nothing had happened, weaving another layer of tight net.

As long as he agrees, they will no longer be able to fold their cards. Every game will be won or lost, and they will have to bear more risks.

However, even if he proposes to give up now, Jiang Zhengping also knows that Jiang Fang's answer will only be one: "I will not give up."

The end of the game must reach the prescribed half-hour time limit, or the four people agree to end at the same time.

They have only two paths.

Seek stability, and then keep losing with this set of cards that Jiang Fang has probably already played and seen through.

Go forward, betting that Jiangfang does not have the brain power to remember the changes of 104 cards, and the three players encircle and win in danger.

Jiang Zhengping, who didn't hold the cards originally, was already in the game of gambling, his back was sweating, but he was unconscious.

How would he choose?

However, before he could make a choice, his partner already had a choice.

Wen Jiasheng slapped Dai Xuelin's wrist with his palm, causing the cards that had been tightly held in his palm to fly out and spread all over the table.

He bit the words between his teeth and said, "Okay. I promise."

Although Jiang Fang has indeed engaged in related occupations and is smart enough, as far as Wen Jiasheng knows, the human brain has a limit, and the sequence of 104 cards interspersed and changed in a short period of time has exceeded the limit of quite a few people.

He is willing to take a risk to take a gamble.

Besides, the reason why Wen Jiasheng was willing to agree was not only because he had been teased by Jiang Fang, but also because their time was running out.

What Jiang Zhengping was thinking of was protecting his capital, but what they wanted to do was turn the tables.

Wen Jiasheng knew his old friend's character, and he refused to take risks easily, so he simply made the decision for him.

Jiang Fang pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "I thought my conditions were quite strict, so you guys are willing to bet on that."

He leaned back: "Okay. In this case, let's rely on our luck."

The old cards were sorted out, and two new decks were placed on the table.

After the cards were checked fairly and openly by both parties, and it was confirmed that they were all new cards, the two decks were overlapped and delivered to Dai Xuelin.

Dai Xuelin shuffled for a full 3 minutes until he ensured that all the cards were thoroughly shuffled before putting them on the table.

Dai Xuelin knew that his tricks were clumsy, and the probability of being caught cheating is definitely higher than the probability of success, so he simply didn't play tricks, and honestly took two heads, one bright and the other dark, and placed them in front of him. He sat down in the village full of unease.

Facing the tip 2, he still had a glimmer of hope.

Last time, his cards were pretty good.

Hope the good luck carries over to this plate.

After Dai Xuebin took away his two cards, it was Jiang Fang's turn.

Jiang Fang was not in a hurry to choose a card first.

"How much to bet." Jiang Fang pondered, "Let's bet 10 first."

The three people on the opposite side were shocked.

Did they bet wrong?

Jiang Fang's brain is strong enough to remember the order changes of 104 cards? ?

However, after putting down his bet, Jiang Fang made no further moves.

Facing the cards lined up in a row, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought for a long time, and he seemed to be undecided, making it difficult for people to see his thoughts.

In the end, he leaned back, sighed a little wronged, and used the back of the chair as a pillow, leaned his neck, and acted like a baby to Nan Zhou: "Choose one for me."

The clothes on Jiang Fang's body were white, and in the eyes of the three people opposite, his whole figure was like a glaring sun.

But in Nan Zhou's eyes, he is just a silver fox with wet eyes.

……so cute.

Nan Zhou looked around the pile of cards calmly: "What do you want?"

Jiang Fang clasped his hands together, pressed them to his lips, and mischievously made a wish: "Mr. Nan, Mr. Nan, give me a Black Jack."

Under everyone's shocked eyes, Nan Zhou said, "It's ok."

He pondered for a moment, and pointed to one of them: "The sixth one from the left. Open it and have a look."
